Kick and Goddamned R if you don't want to Attack Syria! [View all]

Geez, the history is going to destroy us.

No, I see the hyperbole argument early. Yes, we take out the Syrian government, and yes, another religious fundamentalist government is propped up in the Middle East.

Why the fuck are we debating this under what is, supposed to be, a progressive president!!

This is ridiculous.
