If the dead marine could come back

by Esteban Tuesday, Sep. 30, 2003 at 4:09 AM

He would undoubtedly smack his worthless father across the head. What the fuck is the matter with you, old fool? Back to TJ for you, you have stained your son's memory.

by carpenter Tuesday, Sep. 30, 2003 at 6:05 AM

When I built my house, did I nail every nail and pour every yard on concrete? No. But I still built my house.

The "we" of whom BA speaks is the US military doing its job in the name of the American people. Whether or not you approve is irrelevant. Your permission and/or imput wasn't requested. People with your political leanings do not get a say, for what you have to say is not worth consideration. You have the right to complain about it, and those of us who disagree have the right to ignore you and/or make fun of you.

You don't like it. Tough.

Ceausescu Watch

by Ffutal Tuesday, Sep. 30, 2003 at 1:37 PM

"Thousands of protesters demanding an end to the occupation of Iraq took to the streets Saturday in London, Athens, Paris and other cities around the world, chanting slogans against the United States and Britain," the Associated Press reports. The real news here, though, is that the antiwar movement has fizzled. "London's was the biggest protest, drawing 20,000 people."

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=540&u=/ap/iraq_protests

Twenty thousand people? That's down two orders of magnitude since February. If the decline continues at this rate, they'll be lucky if they can scare up a couple of hundred people by next spring.

Not that you can't learn anything by listening to the voice of dissent. The Associated Press reports on a startling revelation at a rally in Los Angeles:

Disabled Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic, author of "Born on the Fourth of July," addressed the rally, saying "the same government that paralyzed me and put me in this wheelchair" was killing American and Iraqi boys.

http://www.boston.com/dailynews/272/nation/Demonstrators_along_both_coast:.shtml

We had no idea the North Vietnamese were fighting in Iraq, but hey--bring 'em on!

Blogger David Adesnik reports there were demonstrators at Harvard too:

"It Is OK to Hate George Bush": That's one of the signs that [Saturday's] protesters have up in Harvard Square. Another good one was "Lobotomies for Republicans--It's the Law." Well at least they're promoting a positive agenda for social change, instead of just engaging in destructive partisan attacks.

http://oxblog.blogspot.com/2003_09_21_oxblog_archive.html#106470779203668592

Boy, does this take me back. In the 1980s, when I was younger, I'd occasionally go to visit my friend David Burkhart, then an undergraduate at the University of California, San Diego. Just for laughs, we'd usually pay a visit to a campus establishment called Groundworks Books, a student-run "collective" that sold communist literature. On one such visit we noticed that the place was selling buttons with the aforementioned lobotomy slogan. Apparently this was a play on a public-service ad campaign of the time--"Use a gun, go to jail--it's the law"--but we still didn't quite get it. So we asked the girl behind the counter to explain. The exchange went something like this:

Ffutal: I don't understand this button. "Lobotomies for Republicans--it's the law." What does that mean?

Cashier: Well, Republicans are always saying, "It's the law," so it's pointing out a contradiction.

Ffutal: But there's no law saying Republicans have to get lobotomies. What's the contradiction?

Cashier (exasperated): It's just a button!

Naturally, I bought a button, though I've long since mislaid it, which is just as well. As I got older, I came to realize that I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

A few years later, in 1989, I was in California visiting my parents for Christmas, and I drove down to see Dave on Dec. 26. We paid our usual visit to Groundworks, and this time the cashier was a middle-aged man with a ponytail. As we browsed the shelves, looking at monographs with translated speeches of the Albanian Stalinist dictator Enver Hoxha (no joke), it suddenly dawned on us that the hippie cashier had the store stereo on and was listening to National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." Playing loud enough that everyone in the store could hear it was a report on the previous day's big news--the execution of Nicolae Ceausescu, communist dictator of Romania.

It was a magical moment, and thinking of it never fails to warm my heart and restore my faith in human progress. Thanks for the memories, you communist scum.

Moron's Galore Above

by mediawatcher Friday, Oct. 03, 2003 at 9:36 AM

Wow, a little anti-occupation march can provoke alot of ignorance as shown above. The spooks have once again been let out the gate and are harassing the progressive-minded people of the IMC.

We got some new morons, like Este-pendejo above who I doubt
is Hispanic judging by his insensitivity to Mr. Suarez's family. Actually his son would probably ask why in this country a Latino has to give his life in order to be considered an American. Este-pendejo, I smell a poseur a mile away and you stink, ya' stupid spook.

The carpenter metaphor was good for a laugh too; Jesus was
a carpenter and his as got nailed to a cross. I doubt the
moron who made the comment above has any idea about how war
traumatizes soldiers. The losers in Congress have no idea either because none of them have children in the military.
And I suppose your dumb-ass would be willing to stay in Iraq
after its been proven that your mission was based on lies and deceit and the only reason you're over there is to protect
U.S. oil interests. Get a clue, moron.


And the last guy, please, that red-baiting anti-communist stuff went out of style in the eighties. This is 2003 people, get a clue.

...and bush-asskisser isn't worth the effort
