For matcom - and everybody
So what do we expect? The radios crackle 24/7 with talk of “freedom haters,” while The Ministers Of Information lie until their heads explode. America's Most Wanted is described as “swarthy complexioned,” and half the nation fails geography.

I’ll cut him if he stands,
and I’ll shoot him if he runs,
and I’ll kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun,
goddamn,
the rag head.

They wax poetically about “the best and the bravest”, but those of us who see the real picture cringe. We see soldiers, many ill-educated, looking at the military as the only way out. The chicken hawks squawk of jingoistic patriotism from the safety of a microphone, only to sit by and profess mock horror when the demon seed procreates. “Why, I didn’t say anything”. they say, “ I would never condone such action by our brave fighting men and women.” Let’s go now to Bill from Birmingham, who wants to talk about Iraquis who kill Americans because they hate us for our freedoms. Welcome to the show, Bill.

At the top. Karl and Karen (2/3 of KKK, for those keeping watch) spew hatred as if it were cheaper by the pound. “Gee, we never MEANT to imply that Iraq and Bin Laden were, ah, somehow connected. You must have misunderstood. Yes, that’s it, a misunderstanding. Scott, call Fox and have them blame the liberal media, please”. A little more hemlock in your tea, Ted?

What did we expect. What the fuck did we expect.

2. Same shit, different war! 30 years ago a decorated veteran
pointed out similar behavior. Then and now he is accused of not supporting and "betraying" the troops.
