American Revolution = Iraq ? |
|
If I hear that one more time in the MSM from the right wingnuts, I'm going to implode. What a stupid comparison.
AND, another thing, those PRO-war morans in Crawford aren't PATRIOTS, they're VIGILANTES.

We. Are. Forcing. Democracy. On. A. Theocracy. The right wing is wagging the dog now, and definitely misusing "patrioticism" in their spews.

5. Perhaps an apt analogy |
|
But if so, and if they are cast in the role of the American Rebels then we must be playing the role of the Redcoats. And, hey, the real Redcoats are there, too! Woohoo!

Weren't the American Revolution Patriots considered insurgents in Britain's eyes too? And did we have allies to help us?
I just don't remember such a revolution in Iraq before we stuck our big nose into that country :shrug: And how's it going in Viet Nam now? I'm confused about our current relationship with that fiasco too.

10. I'll tell you what the real comparison is...... |
|
Wounded Knee
Trail of Tears
Native American Genocide
Smallpox infested blankets as "gifts"
The loss of nearly 20,000,000 OWNERS OF THIS LAND....
Now there's a comparison worth making... cuz they are/were both the brainchild of maladjusted white men.

Thank goodness there was no Fox News from the "mother country" covering it either :)
