Thursday morning Moonbattery : Lone Star Times

Thursday morning Moonbattery

Just for fun.

From LST reader "Carl":

Commenting on Troops have support of LST

Title: Defending Freedom?

It’s totally laughable, if not down right pathetic, to hold the delusional view that we are defending freedom in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is especially true in light of the Bush regime’s trampling of the Constitution with the loathsome (anti)Patriot Acts and their utterly maniacal attempts to hide nearly everything they do - apparently out of fear that exposure of their foul deeds would earn them censure, and rightly so.

As far as Dubya’s address last night, it was nothing more than a continuation of the lies this regime has been spouting all along.

And "Stacy":

Commenting on Troops have support of LST

Title: Wear Shoes on Friday

If you support the troops but are tired of baby-Bush’s linkage of Iraq and 9/11 (5x last night), I urge everyone to cover their toes on Friday. This silent statement will demonstrate your disgust with our political and military “leadership.” Do a mental tally of everyone who stands with us.

Enjoy.

For all of you who bash our stand to defend freedom I would suggest that you visit a few foriegn nations for a month or two. Nothing too extreme maybe England and Brazil and you will return to America and realize that you have it made
It is better to fight the terrorist on their turf than the streets of America and IF you cannot see that then there is no hope for you.

We have rotated nearly half a million troops through Iraq in the maintenance of our 130,000 force. We have lost nearly 2000. That makes the odds of being killed less than 1 in 200, for the total rotation, and about 1.5 in 100 out of the standing force. Lets look at the safety of being President. We have had 43, of which 4 have been assassinated (about 1 in 4 for those elected in years ending in 0). So the odds are better than 1 in 11 that the president will be killed in the service of his country. Whose odds would you then rather have, the grunts on the ground, or the Commander in Chief’s? Think about that before you next accuse him of callously risking our troops.

Also, we are going to have to fight Islamic terrorists. We could fight them in the streets of America, or fight them in Iraq. Invading Iraq got rid of a repressive, genocidal regime (who successfully tried to make everyone believe he still had WMD’s so he could deter his neighbors) and at the same time, it created a magnet for terrorists, who wish to harm us, but that magnet is thousands of miles away and comprised of professional soldiers, not our families and office workers. Seems like a good strategy to me!

I think Stacy is a barking moonbat but I wear boots everyday (it IS Texas, isn’t it) and it would severely and permanently deface them to cut the toes out just so I don’t look like I agree with her. Maybe a better way she could be sure those with her are WITH her is to ask that they wear a pink streak in their hair. There are those who normally do, but those who do not would be going sufficiently out of their way that she might actually have some sense of those who agree with her. Her suggestion is like saying, “every guy who drinks coffee today is showing his support of my position.” Ludicrous.

Proudly running around barefoot all day today.

I guess typically the demo crowd wears their sandles with the pickett signs,so shoes are a novelty? Face it, Stacy picked this just like they did before the election, so they can have one more FALSE poll to put on blogs, and make the conservative people feel like we are the MINORITY. Pleeeese.

I like your idea about wearing shoes to protest the evil Bush, but I have some questions.

1. What troops are you talking about? I saw F-troop just after I woke up this afternoon @ 1:00. Are these guys doing something that I should know about, or is it those Storm Troopers on Star Wars? I got some free tix, but it was for the noon show and I just can’t get out of bet that early.

2. Will it count if I cover my toes w/ peanut butter? It is the only thing that I can think of. I have a pair of Birkenstocks around here somewhere that have laces on them, but I got tired of having to tie them. Man those laces are another conspiracy that you should look into.

3. What is a mental tally? Did you mean to say tail? I had a bad trip when I was 11 and thought I had a tail for 3 days. Turned out that I was trapped in my ‘72 Dart and was sitting on the lap belt. Maybe Bush put something in my LSD? You ought to look into that too.

4. Do I have to stand with you? Can I just sit? That standing up for anything stuff really brings me down.

Well, got to go and take a nap. I’m spent. I sure am glad that I live in America or I would probably have to get a job.

P.S. Are you a dude or a chick? You sound like my kind of people.

How about everyone that is against the war in Iraq ride their bicycles to work next Tuesday?

In response to the proposed “Cover your Toes” experiment in civil protest, I think it’s time to stage another event to show our solidarity with President George W. Bush and the troops:

On July 4, all radio stations in Texas will begin their call letters with “W” instead of “K”, e.g., “KSEV” becomes “W-KSEV” (gotta leave the names intact for fear of FCC oppression)

Call it “K2W Day”
