Wake-up call?
- Sooner or later, the Democratic Party is gonna wake up and help us “take back” the country
- No matter what we think of war, we must always support the troops because sooner or later, the men and women in uniform are gonna wake up and help us “take back” the country
- There’s a mysterious mass of Americans out there–just sitting on the fence watching “American Idol” as they wait for us to convince them that we are right so they can wake up and help us “take back” the country
- There was once a time when the people actually “had” the country

some earth shattering events before the majority wakes up. Any number of things like the coming 1929 style depression, April 6, 2007,10 dollar a gallon gas, food stops coming to the supermarkets.
That and I’m proud to claim never, ever to have seen the Fox Network program entitled American Idol.
Not once.
I never want to hear the phrase “support the troops” again. Not because I am inherently opposed to supporting the troops, but because the phrase really means “waive your first amendment right to peaceful dissent”.
And I’d feel that way even if I didn’t think the bulk of the pro-troop sentiment on the part of the left wasn’t a deeply cynical calculation to avoid criticism from the right. About the only time leftists will jump on the BushCo “a few bad apples” bandwagon is when someone has the temerity to suggest that systematic brutality and war crimes are widespread in the US military. Or that armies in general, US or otherwise, are inherently brutal and savage because, well, that’s what armies are.
Unfortunately, we are presently still so far from reality in American politics that taking a stand against war in general is a great way to have your fellow leftists dismiss you as a whacko.
Yup. Talking about atrocities or the abysmal levels of troops raping fellow female soldiers is verboten. God forbid anyone talk in anything less than meaningless generalities about how the troops are all heroes.
Four excellent points that highlight my frustrations with the so-called ‘left’ in this country. The right is out destroying countries, and the so-called ‘left’ thinks things will change if only we can establish a ‘dialogue’ or pass another non-binding resolution. Oooooo Karl Rove is so scared!
The only way this country is going to wake up is when they have to trade charging masses of Chinese crap at the mall for mass starvation.
Until then, go back to sleep America, nothing to see here!
