Okay, come on, it's time to get back on the attack. FORGET Mary Cheney.

Does this country really believe we go to war because God wants us to spread freedom? GO TO WAR??? No, we go to war to defend ourselves and that's the only reason we have EVER gone to war.

Time to get on the offensive people. Email, call, blog.

2. Mary is more important than war. Ask any fundamentalist.
Your bed room is always more important than killing people. Just as them?

3. "No, we go to war to defend ourselves..."
So you think the following wars were self defense? One could argue that they were not in self defense.

Spanish-American War
Vietnam War
Korean War
World War I
Mexican-American War
Invasion of Panama
Persian Gulf War
Bosnian War

4. Some Words From the Past

"What a stupendous, what an incomprehesible machine is man! Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment and death itself in
vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment...inflict on his
fellow men a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery
then ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose."
Thomas Jefferson

"Only the dead have seen the end of war." Plato

6. Oh yeah, it was all over the telly
Right before we invaded Iraq, our fearless leader was on all the networks talking about how we were going to spread freedom by invading countries. Everyone voted for it. Don't you remember?

7. And we wonder why we lose
Aren't you all just so damned smart.

America went to war over WMD. Bushbots went to war for whatever stupid ass reason Bush gave for the day. American values are to go to war only to defend ourselves, not for religious ideologies. But never mind, let's just get bogged down in Mary Cheney's sex life.

:argh:
