Take It Out and Play With It!

One reason evil hacks like the Bushes and Reagan are more popular with True Patriotic Amurcans than thoughtful intelligent leaders like President Clinton is that they are willing, nay, enthusiastic to send in the troops! "We have the most powerful military in history, so why not take it for a spin? Let's see what it can do!" This plays real well with the folk who have difficulty with complexity and ambiguity. "Arabs attacked us, so we gotta get revenge on Arabs!" (Arabs, in this case, refers to all hajis, ragheads, and sand niggers, regardless of actual ethnic affiliation.) "I'm so angry I don't know what to do!" "OK, we'll send a bunch of heavily armed 'volunteers' over there and make 'em pay!" "I feel better, now. I'll put yellow ribbons on the minivan and the truck to show our support."

Oops, they seem to have actually made things worse. More people hate America than ever before. And I don't blame them.

"Freedom isn't free! You gotta round up (what'll we call them? Oh yeah, 'Enemy Combatants') and teach 'em a lesson! It's even better that we can keep 'em in pens outside the US so they don't TECHNICALLY have any rights because the Constitution doesn't apply if we say it doesn't."

Isn't it great to live in the land of the "free" and the home of the "brave?" I feel so much safer with John Bolton at the UN and Donald Rumsfeld running the military, Dark Lord Cheney collecting his Halliburton checks, and the Moron in Chief on vacation 11 months of the first five years in office.
