Bill Kristol has never seen a war he didn't like. No, that's too soft. A war he didn't love and lust after. Here's a wolf in sheep's clothing pretending to be serious, sober minded analyst on television when in reality he is trying to get us sucked into horrific wars that other people will die fighting.

Will he ever put on a uniform and fight any of the wars he so desperately wants to start? Hell no. Will anyone in his family or friends? Hell no.

They love to start wars, not fight them. That's for the poor schmucks who don't know any better and sign up to run the fool's errands Kristol wants to send them on. On Thursday, we had Ben Barnes, the former Lt. Governor of Texas on our show talking about how he got all the rich kids of Texas out of the Vietnam War, including George W. Bush. There was something about hearing him say it that struck me. It isn't just theoretical; they really do get their kids out of war while they send poor kids to get ground up by the war machine. There is something infinitely sick about that.

1. Another irresistable quote from Uygur's post

For those of you lucky enough to not know Bill Kristol, he is the top neocon intellectual (how's that for a gigantic oxymoron) in the country. He is the editor of The Weekly Standard, the bible of neo-conservatism and warmongering. He is in effect their propaganda minister. And like all good propaganda ministers, he will never bring his pampered, powdered soft ass anywhere near a battle line. But he can't wait for your kid to die in the wars he starts.

He goads the country by calling it weak and does what all people trained in propaganda do - unless you attack the country I tell you to, I will call all of you weak and cowardly. The oldest trick in the book. Read it for yourself in his latest article here.

The chickenhawk is calling the rest of us chickens. How's that for rich irony?

2. All the flag waving, all the tears rolling down the cheeks while listening

the National Anthem does not change the fact that someone, somewhere screwed up and caskets are being brought home.

Glorifying war is wrong.

6. Don't you know?

Actually fighting a war in America is mostly for white trash, with the descendants of African slaves and other purported "undesirables" sprinkled in for effect and diversity. That way it's easier when they die because they're not really lamentable, you don't know them, they're not "our crowd" - they're not from "good" families. But little Billy has forgotten where he came from - Daddy Irving was a nerd from the lower east side without a penny in his pocket who went to City College because it was free. But then Irving didn't fight in any wars either. I guess "Intellectuals" don't fight wars, they pontificate and "strategize" about them.

7. Bill Kristol is a smarmy mofo. . .

(and probably one wing short of a fairy at that)

Someone should "re-do his face" in 1 second (wink wink, nudge nudge)
