anyway, I think both sites are too wonky. Obviously, they are going to hype up what they believe. Both sides are guilty of that. And, as a soldier, I think it is pretty disgusting to use a soldier like the one in that video to spread political propaganda of any sort, regardless of whether it is liberal or conservative.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid the days of the military being non-partison are long behind us (as are many concepts America used to take for granted, like the assumption that your government actually cares what you think). I keep telling myself that these trends are cyclical, and that one day we'll come full around back to a point where the government isn't actively trying to screw/scare/spy on its people, but who the hell knows.

there are lots of individuals in the military who are non partisan. the military as a whole, however, yeah, have to agree with you on that part. anyway, i'm not quite sure if you are agreeing with me or not here...

Damn, and I thought this picture would never come in handy again:

I'm beginning to think that Bush is becoming a real "devotee" to his devout... I wonder what he'd look like with a big pile of limbs surrounding him from all the victims of the Iraq war? I'm sorry that that guy lost his legs, but that he's a real douche for trying to use his loss to try and influence others to keep supporting the war.. The whole concept is oddly perverse once you get past the knee jerk emotional response this add clearly was intended for: the horrors of war he's suffered... And that's why we need to keep fighting???

Politics is alot like professional wrestling in many ways (and none of them good).

Giggle.

Seriously, though. Politicians, especially dumb ones from the bible belt, aren't very hip to Internet security. Someone hax0r their website and put something like "IM UP IN UR WEBSITEZ, CHANGIN UR PROPAGANDAZ," and we can all laugh about it.

Go Internet cavalry!

Super. I'll stop wanting to quit when you kids can actually define "victory."

Victory in Iraq is only relevant as a tool to the already defined "Victory." A Bush-style victory is a strong Republican party informed by Evangelical Christianity, that controls all branches of the government and focuses all governmental powers under a strong-looking leader let's call him his "Dictatorship." Victory allows a weak and irrelevant Democrat party to make it seem that democracy actually exists in America. I say we are about 85% there. Hurrah!

I hate cold but Canada might beckon someday!

Calvary? Wait, so someone is giving these fuckers ponies for THEIR birthdays?

Their 'calvary' is likely to be just about as successful in the end as Custer's was.

No, no. Calvary is a obviously a reference to knights on mounted horse back, which is a direct reference to the Crusades, because we are conducting a Crusade in the Middle East. And by the might of God, our warriors will triumph!

With Christ on our side, those dirty Muslims can't win!
