ZZZZZZZ...ZZZZZZZ...ZZZZ...er...did someone say something stupid?
Yes, dip ribbons in blood, send them to the White House, then get a
lawyer because you will need one when the Secret Service comes to your
house and arrests you for sending threatening mail to the President.
Dumbass.
Hey douchebag, what makes you think you have a corner on the truth? I
don't like our guys getting shot any more than you do, but I'd go to
Iraq and serve my country and take a few iraqi terrorists out myself
if I wasn't too old to serve. I guess it's OK for Saddam to send cash
awards to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers as incentive for
them to blow bombs off and kill women and children riding buses and
eating pizza. I guess it's OK for Saddam to gas his own people using
the weapons of mass destruction that pussies like you claim he never
had. I guess it's OK for him to tell UN inspectors to fuck off until
he's had a chance to move all his WMD operations out of the country.
Saddam has ties to terrorism all over the world, and if not Al-qaeda
directly, with the PLO and Syria. Oh, and many of your pussy liberal
politicians were in complete agreement with Bush sending troops over
there and were quite happy to send troops over there to get shot at
and die until it was election time.
Ever think that maybe a lot of the people there think that Bush was
right to send them and they're glad to be serving their country, even
if they're not happy about getting shot at? Oh, I forgot...they
can't, because you said they can't. And I hope you rot in hell for
comparing our fighting men and women to Nazis. Go fuck yourself.
Fucking college student idiot. You make me puke.
I'm getting goddamn good and sick of hearing how evil we are by our
own fucking citizenry. There's not a more charitable country on earth
than the US, and it makes me sick that US citizens compare us to Nazis
and communists. You know what? You don't like it, the US
Constitution guarantees you the right to form a militia and take arms
against this "injustice." Just don't be surprised when you get shot
by a real American who's as disgusted by your bullshit as I am, you
fucking whining pussy!
I guess I'll be forever ostracized from alt.fan.devo for this rant,
but it's time you liberal de-evolutionists heard a little bit from a
Devo fan who's not scared to disagree with Jerry Casale.
