On Memorial Day, Thank Also the Anti-war Protesters

While the US has fought a few good wars, we have also made a few mistakes and by mistakes I mean conscious efforts to create a bloodbath. While it's important to honor the dead from the good wars, it's almost as important to honor those who protested the wars.

During Vietnam we had the hippies and I believe their political pressure was enough to bring an early end to the war which would have lasted several more years. Not only would have been countless millions of more Vietnamese and Cambodian deaths, but 10,000's more American deaths. Thankfully the hippies saved their asses and we should be thankful for that even if they aren't going to get the praise they deserved.

Today we have Iraq and Afghanistan, the heroes at Code Pink and other anti-war groups are busy ending the war and hopefully those wars will die down before more slaughter happens. I think along side Memorial Day and Veterans Day we should have a separate specialday to honor the anti-war movement.

If it wasn't for the anti-war movement, more dead would have been mourned today than needed. Thank you for your service to this country!

Idiot of the Week

Boston Bruins.

Fuck you assholes! Tampa Bay will take its vengeance out on the Red Sux! 16 more meetings with the Rays, I doubt Boston can win 10 of those.

New Names for the "Tea Party"

While I still like calling them "teabaggers", I have three new names for them:

1. Koch Suckers (as in serving the Koch brothers)

2. The TP (as in they are full of crap)

3. All Whita (the tearrorist organization)

I like number 3 the most.

Jared Loughner Not Going on Trial

The reason they give us:

U.S. District Judge Larry Burns ruled that Loughner, 22, described by his own legal team as "gravely mentally ill," was incapable of understanding the proceedings against him and assisting in his own defense.

He cited the conclusions of two experts, a forensic psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist, that Loughner suffers from schizophrenia, disordered thinking and delusions.

Or maybe they didn't want Jared to walk into the court house yelling, "Sarah Palin for president!"

Idiot of the Week

There were a lot to choose from, Newt Gingrich, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Herman Cain, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, these assholes, but the idiot who takes the cake is:

Harold Camping

Sorry dude, but all that end-of-world talk for yesterday was useless. We are still here you wacko!

The McClane Reply

From the movie Die Hard 2:

Gen. Ramon Esperanza: Who are you?
John McClane: A cop.
Gen. Ramon Esperanza: A cop?
John McClane: Yeah. One of the good guys. You see, you're one of the bad guys.

This type of mentality reflects what I think when it pertains to politics. I have said that everything good that has ever happened in history has come from liberal ideology, now it's time for that to reflect our government and policy. Liberals are the good guys and conservatives are the bad guys, period. When it comes to the environment, peace, social justice, safety, economic justice, education, health, equality, and all our freedoms, liberals own a shutout on who is right on the issues. Conservatives on the other hand are responsible for all that is wrong and it is getting harder to deal with them.

In Die Hard 2, McClane blew up Esperanza's plane, but I don't think liberals should resort to violence against conservatives (even though conservatives might resort to violence against us.) The best revenge is success and liberals need to start taking control of every aspect of government, local, state, and national. We need to start acting tough towards conservatives, we need to call them names, and call out their lies. We need to call them racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted, anti-environmental, insane, stupid idiots who love war and hate peace.

They are the bad guys and we are the good guys.

Of course when we start to fight back, there will always be those who start with the "both sides" crap. They will say that we are being the "Rush Limbaughs of the left." Of course this is stupid. To say that would be like calling Martin Luther King the "black George Wallace." There is no moral equivalence between the ethically challenged right and the left for calling them out on their crap and making the world a better place. Any "both sides" concern trolling should be ignored because liberals are the good guys and conservatives are the bad guys.

Repeat: liberals are the good guys and conservatives are the bad guys. Liberals are the good guys and conservatives are the bad guys. Liberals are the good guys and conservatives are the bad guys. Liberals are the good guys and conservatives are the bad guys. Liberals are the good guys and conservatives are the bad guys. Liberals are the good guys and conservatives are the bad guys........

(Return of the) Idiot of the Week

Indiana

People have no right to resist if police officers illegally enter their home, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled in a decision that overturns centuries of common law.

Remember, conservatives want more of these fascists in our court system.

No Wonder Obama Took so Long to Show his Birth Certificate

He had priorities.

OSAMA IS DEAD!!!!!

Congrats to Obama and to America for finally having closure. But to be honest, I would have rather had a trial than Osama being killed. I assume there was a fight and Osama died in the middle of the battle. And this took place in...uh...Pakistan?

So while Osama is out of the way, I was hoping for an arrest and trial for Bush and Cheney for war crimes, but IMHO that doesn't seem like a reality, but I'm a dreamer and I'm not the only one.
