"Adopt A Sniper", College GOP's 'Culture of Life'

Source: CNN.

In other news, the College Republicans at one of my local universities held a "Straight Pride Week" last week. Reactionary scumbags.

They also like to try to take away other people's right to vote.

why do snipers in iraq need extra money?

It's a culture of life for "us", not "them".

But on a different note, their cause seems okay. In slightly bad taste, but wannabes love engaging in military bravado. Snipers need love too.

i hate how pussy ass conservatives are scared of everything different then them.

Because a lot of the best gear isn't standard issue. The rifle scopes the snipers like cost about $1200 each. Soldiers buy a lot of their own equipment, not just to do a better job of whacking terrorists but to make their lives over there more bearable. It's a gesture of appreciation and support for our soldiers, so naturally it drives liberals like Keith mad.

What part of 'supporting the troops' makes it classy and/or appropriate to wear a bracelet that says '1 Shot 1 Kill No Remorse I Decide'?

This was clearly a provocation. They could have just had a 'Support the Troops' fundraiser, but they go with 'Adopt a Sniper'.

Yeah. That's reeeaaalll "Christ-like" of 'em...

what are you talking about? rummy says everything is just fine.

read the second comic. because i have no fucking clue how to paste it in.

So if it upsets your delicate sensibilities, then they should be silenced? "Hey, that's not classy or appropriate! They're being provactive! Ban them!"

I gotta admit - that's pretty funny!

Fuckin' a', man, I wouldn't ban them. I'd let them wallow in their lack of taste. I said they sucked, I didn't say I would have banned them.

However, they were students of a *private*, *religous* university, and thus the school can pretty much tell them to jump and how high.

Technically I don't think they really did anything wrong. Our troops are fighting in iraq, they could always use better gear, so these guys held a fund raiser. It's part of their job description to kill, and as long as they're provoked and its under the right circumstances they have every right to (this is war after all). This was however, in very bad taste. If they had simply said "raise money so our troops can have better gear" it would've been much less offensive, though honestly nothing would've actually changed. I suppose its sort of like eating a cheeseburger while saying that hunting animals is wrong and fucked up. The hunters are in the end simply being more honest about the fact that they do indeed eat meat, and in the end an animal gets grinded for your consumption either way.

Who said anything about banning?

It's a private, Jesuit Catholic school. Pacifist. Anti-war. They were lucky to have a 'Support the Troops' fundraiser approved at all there.

So on this 'straight pride week' did they go around having premarital sex with other straight people and celebrating unique straight culture... like naziism and the KKK?

It's a classic conservative tactic.

Someone says "I don't like what you're doing, I find it completely tasteless and wrong." And immediately the conservative says "you liberals are all about censorhip trying to stop us from voicing our opinions! You're just as bad as the fascists! Stop oppressing us!" And because there are apparently plenty of people who will literally believe anything, supporters come out claiming that conservatives (who now control every branch of government, major media outlet and most corporations in America) are somehow always made to be the victims.

How true. But a real conservative would work in something about activists judges, the ACLU and the New York Times (add homosexual agenda if it's a politician running in a red state).

...No one bats an eyelash at all the pandering that goes on for Palestinian suicide bombers....how is this any different ?

I wonder if you get pictures of them holding up their kills and what not. "Best thing that can happen to 3 quaters and a nickle" - oh wait, thats the christian children's fund.

That's a common refrain, because it happens to be true and it happens frequently if opinions are expressed that don't toe the PC leftist line on American campuses. Don't believe me? You work at a university. Try it yourself. Or do it here if you like. All the humorless prigs come out of the woodwork if you dare disagree with them.

Or, you coud try visting a Christian college campus, and hand out gay- tolerance pamphlets, and see how wel those folks take it.

Does anyone else think it's funny that both sides use the same arguments.
Kind of like mirror images

Sung to the tune of Winter Wonderland:


In the street, there's an Arab.
Trigger breaks, now he's all d e a d .
.308 round
Shot that ***** down.
Stalkin' in a sniper wonderland.

Spinal shot, I had a clear sight.
It turned him off, like a porch light.
Call his mom on the phone,
He's not coming home.
Stalkin' in a sniper wonderland.

~refrain~
On the target we can paint a tur-ban
And we can pretend it's Osama B
We can dump a couple dozen mags in
It's a lot of of fun for you and me.

Oh, the bodies up are pilin'
In my hide, I sit a smilin'
They've limited sight
But I've got starlight
Stalkin' in a sniper wonderland.

Why don't you take the ****s away? Otherwise, you're just a coward who is afraid to show what he is.
