Take a good look lefties, this is who you’ve been giving verbal fellatio to since his sophomorish prank call.
So, 4000 rubes are dead. Cry me the Tigris. Another 30,000 have been seriously wounded. Boo fucking hoo. They got what they asked for — and cool robotic limbs, too.
Likely, just reading the above paragraph made you uncomfortable. But why?
The benevolence of America’s “troops” is sacrosanct. Questioning their rectitude simply isn’t done. It’s the forbidden zone. We may rail against this tragic war, but our soldiers are lauded by all as saints. Why? They volunteered to partake in this savage idiocy, and for this they deserve our utmost respect? I think not.
The nearly two-thirds of us who know this war is bullshit need to stop sucking off the troops. They get enough action raping female soldiers and sodomizing Iraqi detainees. The political left is intent on “supporting” the troops by bringing them home, which is a good thing. But after rightly denouncing the administration’s lies and condemning this awful war, relatively sensible pundits — like Keith Olbermann — turn around and lovingly praise the soldiers’ brave service to the country. Why?
What service are they providing? I don’t remember ordering 300,000 dead Iraqis — although I was doing a lot of heavy narcotics back in ’03. Our soldiers are not providing a service to the country, they’re providing a service to a criminal administration and their oil company cronies. When a mafia don orders a hit, is the assassin absolved of personal responsibility when it’s carried out? Of course not. What if the hit man was fooled into service? We’d all say, “Tough shit, you dumb Guido,” then lock him up and throw away the key.
As a society, we need to discard our blind deference to military service. There’s nothing admirable about volunteering to murder people. There’s nothing admirable about being rooked by obvious propaganda. There’s nothing admirable about doing what you’re told if what you’re told to do is terrible.
The above article isn’t stopping the AFL-CIO from running a TV ad highlighting Murphy’s call to Governor Walker.
(The Hill) — A liberal blogger’s prank telephone call to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has become the focal point of a new television ad criticizing the governor.
Walker’s opponents pounced on the prank call by a blogger posing as billionaire Republican businessman David Koch. The Wisconsin AFL-CIO-sponsored ad released Thursday accuses Walker of pushing his budget repair bill, which includes provisions that limit collective bargaining rights for public employees.
The ad will be mixed into a standing buy of statewide broadcast and cable television airtime, according to AFL-CIO spokesman Eddie Vale.
Nor did it stop CNN from heaping praise on him.
