Enable the Terrorist ?

[goofticket]

Sounds like another excuse of the far right.

The far right has few defenses left.
A war based on made up threats. A White House under indictment for using treason to discredit a critic. An economy in more debt than is conceivable. A history of hate and discrimination toward women, gays, children....well, they just hate everyone.
Terrorist is a cutsie label they give anything and everything these days. It's so overused and abused, noone knows what a terrorist actually is! Al-Qaieada is in every grade school, stars on every TV show, publishes ever newspaper and has hypnotised two-thirds of the American population, into some zombie class of Manchurain candidates bent on outlawing apple pie.
I feel sorry for the conservative, these days. They allowed the neocon to hijack the Republican party and warp it into a truly disgusting gang of 'at all costs' bunch of thugs.
The terrorist, I mean the actual ones who are willing and financially capable of doing damage to the US, are such a small number of people, it's astounding. The neocon acts like they are billions on people ready to flood over the border at a moments notice.
According to the neocons, each terrorist has his or her own personal fully operational nuke, they are all armed with thousands of IED's, 50-caliber machine guns with a never-ending magazine of ammo' their kitchens are bio-weapons labs, and they spend 24 hours a day plotting the end of some Hollywood Happy days life that never existed here in America.
War sucks. It always has. Every nation has enemies, some are effective, most are not. Once in a while, a lucky shot happens. Pearl Harbor was a lucky shot. The Spanish Armada running aground was a lucky shot. 911 was defintely a lucky shot.
The first shot in any war is usually a poorly calculated, ill-planned and horrifically enacted event.
An enemy does not garner motivation from it's enemies, as the right delusionally rants in the daily shrill of it's pundits. An enemy may claim to their followers that such a thing exists to bolster their own cause, but in a democracy- the course taken is one the embraces both sides of an issue, an law and a war.
The American soldier is not in possession of an emotional fragility to be swayed into questioning their own job responsibility. The right makes it seem every soldier is capable of instantly busting into tears, and running away at the slightest suggestion the war is a mistake. The effectiveness of the 81st Airborne or the 2nd Infranty is not dependent on today's top story in The Onion, the NY Times or the Weekly Standard.
If the right wing thinks so little of our troops to suggest that public opinion affects a soldiers performance, I can only laugh at the stupidity of such a claim.
If the terrorists are such a threat, they would be more active. They aren't active, in the manner the right would like them to be, to justify continuing a course of constant failure.
But when you get to claim every Iraqi citizen a terrorist, because they are in a civil war, or when the entire war's outcome depends on one actress who speaks out after a 34 year silence at an anti-war rally...the rest of us get to seriously question the sanity of the far right.
And if we deem them to actually be terrorizing our way of life, via false labels and fear, we can do something about that.
We can, in places like this, call their bluff.
It's apparent that the right wing is unhappy they lost. The election. The war and the defense of their actions.
So neocon's/rightwingers/Limbaughfans, etc, please go find a soldier and tell them that they are weak in spirit, that they will not defend us, that they are so emotionally feeble that Jane Fonda, alone, will bring them to their knees and end the American way of life. Explain to them how free speech is not what they are defending.

When you get out of intensive care, after your nose and jaw are re-wired, we can continue this converstaion of what an enemy is, and what a terrorist isn't...and what a soldier is not capable of.
