2,500 Dead and "christian conservatives" could not possibly care less

Our kids are dying because they supported a lying, drug addicted, military deserting, corporate criminal. They care not of our kids dying let alone the Iraqi Civilians (some reports have that number at 250-thousand.) There's gonna be a godawful ass whupping at the pearly gates when these monsters die off.

Compared how many were killed in auto accidents, standard RW talking point when you bring that up. It's that or they would claim the anti-war crowd is celebrating the deaths of the troops. I like that new talking point "Drive-By Media"

He is such a brave badass behind his microphone. No doubt if it weren't for that pimple on his ass he'd have turned into the Sgt York of the Vietnam war.

to terrorism, but somehow THAT perspective is lost on them.

What assholes.

They're headed straight south, the one where there ain't no hospitality.

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

Of course, we're talking about folks who like their killing done by remote control or by someone else, so consider the source on this mindless bit of jingoism -- "Freedom isn't free."

Actually, freedom is free, and that's why a dedicated group of bloodthirsty greedheads have to spend so many billions of dollars to enslave us. What's so objectionable about it is that they're using our tax dollars to do it. Republicans are fond of repeating their mantra that government doesn't work, but they just don't go quite far enough: Government doesn't work when Republicans are running the government. Just like the sullen, disinterested kid behind the counter at Burger King who fucks up your order because he doesn't give a rat's ass about you or your whopper, Republicans aren't interested in making government work for anyone except themselves and their overrich cronies.

And so we kill 2,500 military personnel in Iraq. And numberless and unnumbered thousands more Iraqis (because these assholes don't care about Iraqis, either). And we burn through hundreds of billions of tax dollars, so that these guys can siphon off a few billion for themselves. Don't ask for an accounting of the money, though; that would be just too telling in terms of how little they care.

Nope, war, death, famine and pestilence cost, and they cost a lot.

It comes at the cost of the blood of unarmed brown babies who want to kill us but are too small to do the job. :sarcasm:

Ask them!

They think that they're getting out of it because they know the secret handshake -- after which, the fun starts ... for them.

Start with that attitude and you'll end up with very little concern for the day-to-day pain and suffering of others. Especially others that aren't in your little clique.

all the reasons I stopped being a believer.

<snip> In any event, the problem with legalistic Christianity is not simply that it affirms that God can be evil; it's that it imagines a manifestly evil God and calls that evil good. In effect, as we shall see, it worships evil. In America right now, millions of children are taught by their legalistic Christian parents and ministers to revere a God of wrath and to take a sanguine view of human suffering. They are taught to view their fellow Americans not as having been "created equal," as the Declaration of Independence would have it, but as being saved or unsaved, children of God or creatures of Satan; they are taught not to respect those most different from themselves but to regard them as the enemy, to resist their influence, and to seek to restrict their rights. This is not only morally offensive, its socially dangerous--and it represents, for obvious reasons, a very real menace to democratic civil society. America's founding fathers, as I shall show, respected religion because they saw it as strengthening people's best selves and checking their worst selves; too often, legalistic Christianity--which has deceitfully portrayed the founding fathers as its philosophical allies--does precisely the opposite.

From the snip, I'd say it's my view precisely.

I come from a family of Baptists and was raised with all that legalistic crap, but my folks also taught me to think critically and to have concern for the welfare of others, so leaving the church was just a matter of time.

My folks are gone now, but many of their siblings are the very group that supports BushCo and causes all this misery "in the name of Jesus."

I avoid them like the plague that they are.
