Uncle Bush: Why You Became a Terrorist

Since they advocate the killing of innocents by supporting Osama (who has publicly stated his support and encouragement for the killing of American civilians).

Let's roll! The more daisycutters, the better.

Jen, it is your disgusting, nationalist dogma that creates death and violence in the world. You are not a patriot. You are a fucking idiot. Get the fuck out of this country, and go join up with the Taliban, they like people like you who cheer on innocent death.

...BUT...whoever did the photoshop job on those signs doesn't have very good skills.

> Let's roll!

I swear, if I hear or see this statement one more time, I am going to vomit all over my keyboard. Bunch of Bush-zombies, you people.

I'm against it. But those kids are FOR it. That's the difference. Use your brain.

I don't blame these kids - this is just a PR ploy by their parents / elders... And the person who posted this just fell for it. You might want to notice that they are indicating their hero is someone who has stated that he wants to kill every American, Christian and Jew... I don't know about you, but if it's a choice between them or us, I choose us. Feel free at this point to loose your shit and call me a "Nazi, Fascist, Nationalist, etc...", or whatever else you can get from your "Big Book of anti-American Slogans". As for telling the young lady to leave and join the Taliban - they're the people we're bombing you silly, why would she join them?

If YOU feel so strongly bringing peace to the region, why don't YOU go there and publicly make a stand in Kabul... If the people that are protesting this REALLY believed in their cause, they would go to Afghanistan en masse - letting it be known that they were in the area. Then if any bombs went off target they would be killed. The American people wouldn't stand for other Americans being killed - and the bombing would stop.

But that's not going to happen. Why? Because this is just another convenient vehicle for their anti-capitalist, anti-American, pro-socialism (didn't see these people in the streets when the Soviets invaded, did you?) agenda. For all their catchy slogans, and "look at poor, oppressed me..." attitudes, they are just too comfy here in the country they profess to loathe. It’s just oh so trendy to be anti-something-or-the-other, isn’t it?

It sure is. That's why there are scads and scads of people becoming overnight patriots buying up squillions of American flags and spewing "Death to Traitors and Treasonous Dissidents" all over the place on and off the net. A lot of them take their "anti-" feelings even further and run around saying anyone who even looks like they might be of Arabic descent ought to be detained indefinitely or immediately deported. That sort of trendy catches on awfully fast, too, since the mass media supports it lock, stock and barrel.

And it always has supported it, but now of course it's on a daily, constant basis, now that America is off somewhere fighting a war against terrorism - uh, I mean, a war to get a government officially recognized by the US in place so that Unocal can get that oil pipeline it wants. (See http://www.colorlines.com/waronyouth/Pages/unocal.html - about halfway down the page.)

I am not Anti-American. I haver come to realize this in the past week or so. I am not even anti-capitalism. What I am is against cruelty, sadism and abuse, as any sane human being ought to be. When the American government supports it, I am against its support of it, not against the government itself--although since Bush II took office it's gotten to be so bad that I am beginning to despair of our ever having a decent administration in the White House under our current system. I still hold on to a belief in that system, even though it may be a naive and possibly misdirected one.

It's incredible how many people call someone who dares exercise their right to criticize our government "un-American". It's as though they don't even have cognizance of the fact that this is exactly what America was founded on - the right to dissent! Without it, we become no better than any of the dictatorships and totalitarian Communist governments we were all brought up to see as the enemy of our way of life.

I only wish that dissent were more "trendy" so that our voices could be heard above the onerous sound of CNN/Newsweek/etc.'s beating of the war drums. We're certainly not alone - it's just that most folks who don't like this war keep quiet for fear of bweing socially ostracized. It's as though we've become the new "Silent Majority" - which thankfully has some unsilent members.
