What the republicans are passing around at work today.
What the republicans are passing around at work today. It's frightening.
-----------------

How many Liberals does it take to win a war?
How many of you Liberals does it take to win a war?
Well how the hell can we tell? You won't fight one anymore.
You say that you support the troops, but the truth's plain as your face,
You'd pull us from the battle, march us home in full disgrace.
You've no stomach for the fighting, got no mettle, got no pluck;
If you ran this war on terror, we'd be a very well plucked duck.
The wolves of Jihad smell your dread, can smell your craven breath,
And emboldened by the fear they scent, lust for our bloody death.
"But wait," you protest piously, "We are fighters for the poor."
Might we suggest you start to fight, before wolves come through the
door?
Do you think they'll still believe in you, your poor, your gays, your
blacks,
When the wolves run wild among them, sinking fangs into their backs?
Think then that they'll be caring, when they're counting out their dead,
We inflict pain on a captive wolf to learn what's in his head?
Do you really think, you bleeding hearts, when they bleed in scarlet
torrents,
They'll care we cage the savage wolves, search lairs without signed
warrants?
For years we watched your "feel good" courts defang our criminal laws,
Handcuff our police, give felons rights, espouse the criminals' cause.
Felonious wolves were freed to prey, and we suffered their wild rages
Till "thinking" men took back the courts, put the wolf packs back in
cages.
With your same old clueless "feelings" you now decry this war;
And with your same old fuzzy logic, common sense you still ignore.
We must look into "root causes" and we must try to "feel their pain;"
Pardon if our eyes start rolling, at your same old lame refrain.
It's hard to fathom whence you come, perhaps some flawed eugenics,
That begets utopian pessimists, sires optimistic cynics.
Thanks be the power to rule the land remains beyond your means;
A regime of yours, would be like, no doubt, being ruled by pimpled
teens.
Your quixotic quest for a world love nest, denies some truths quite
real,
Like the need to have some "thinking" folks to preserve your right to
"feel."
Abhorring blood on your own hands, there's a hard truth you've ignored,
Someone else must take your plowshare, and beat it back into a sword.
So how many of you Liberals does it take to win a war?
Or is there simply nothing you believe worth fighting for?
How is it that you've never learned, like most when they grow older,
That appeasing badness is a bad idea, only makes the bad guys bolder.
Has your fear of spilling human blood made you Jihad's useful fools,
Ignoring that their wolf packs never fight within the rules?
By your demand we stay our hand, you weaken and you bind us;
Forcing us to fight off wolf attacks with that hand tied behind us.
So we bend some rules, in war you fools; so what? Show some respect,
When it's your fuzzy-headed "feelings", "thinking" men fight to protect.

2. In that case, It's good to know...
that over 70% of the nation is liberal. That is an awful lot of liberals.

I wonder just how small, insignificant and ineffectual the cons feel as they face this reality?

3. Part of humanity's problems, in fact MOST of humanity's
problems can be traced back to thugs like Russ who like the smell of blood. Who love war. You can't tell me this fucker doesn't love war, this is nothing but a testimonial to those who love to watch others bleed.

This thug isn't being patriotic. He's showing his true colors.

5. The entire point of this poem seems to be "Don't think! Kill!!"
Sorry Russ but things happen for a reason. Not a predestined reason. But because people react to other people. Someone doesn't just wake up one morning and think to themselves "Gosh I think I will blow myself up today and take as many with me as I can". Something happened to make people angry enough to kill themselves and take others with them. Has anything ever made you angry enough to do that? Then they must be really pissed about something. Do you think killing their brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers and daughters and sons is going to make them less pissed? Or maybe it will just make them more pissed and in turn make more people ready to through themselves at us with a chest full of hate and explosives.

Sure. Keep killing them all. And they will learn from you and do the same.

12. I LOVE that list
because it gets straight to the point and lays out the fact. Since it says Robert Dole was an honorable man, and indicates ALL the repukes who served, the publicans will have no room to gripe about bias.

17. I'm done, and I'm posting it in its own thread in GD, with a link to this.
How many Neocons does it take to ruin a nation?
Sadly, soon we may find out, much to our consternation.
You say that you support the troops, but the truth’s plain as your face,
You’d have their VA funding cut, and no pay raises – such disgrace.
You’ve no stomach for the truth, no critical thought to be had;
So long as the rich have tax cuts, things can’t be all that bad!
Chickenhawks you be, snug in your towers, free from toil.
While the very troops you claim to support die for lies and oil.
You proudly shout out that it’s “family values” for which you stand.
While scandal after scandal scars your party and this land.
How can they still believe in you, the poor, the gays, the blacks?
Little solace for Katrina’s refugees, and the gays basic civil freedoms lack.
What neocon has helped them, those who cannot be united in love, those hurricane misplaced?
Those power-mad wolves in Washington, smirking malice and narcissism on their face.
Call us bleeding hearts if you must, but we are the majority.
But should one day should you find yourself labeled a “savage wolf” rather than me:
Please know that we’ll still beseech the courts to grant due process of law,
Expose every injustice and correct every miscarriage and flaw.
Many people rot in prison though innocent be they.
Since “thinking men” were in error, proven so by DNA.
With society fraying here at home you cheer a fraudulent war
And tune in every day to mainstream media and its corporate whores.
You think it best to ignore “root causes”, and with no empathy deny millions are in pain.
Rather you would roll your eyes, only to brush them off as useless and lame.
It’s hard to grok the logic – “We must save every unborn!”
Yet you react to child malnutrition (in your own country!) with typical insensitive scorn.
In 2000 a bought Supreme Court took democracy from our hands.
The ensuing regime has brought endless war and terror, what's so hard to understand?
Our every request for accountability falling upon deaf ears,
Eroding civil liberties and creeping fascism stoke the fire of our fear.
All the while the blood of nearly a million Iraqi civilians goes ignored;
So long as the oil is flowing and the SUVs roll on undeterred.
So, how many neocons does it take to ruin a nation?
With economic policies destined to spur hyperinflation?
How is it you’ve never learned that history tends to repeat,
And that soon no American will be safe from democracy’s defeat?
Has your lust for blood and oil set the world on the edge of a dime
committing our sons and daughters to a war against a concept with no boundaries of time?
By your manipulation our voices unheard, our mainstream media utters not a word
While true American heroes are besmirched or jokingly labeled as “disturbed”.
You bend the rules to justify your ends while the meek among us suffer
With complete disregard to our Constitution which will soon be ripped asunder.


Print a few up and pass 'em around the office! I'm no poet laureate but at least I know the truth from someone with a wolf fetish.

11. Where are the republicans FIGHTING in this war..
sitting on their ass critizing the democrats who are trying to bring Our democrats home.

I suppose since no republicans are over there, the republicans don't care how many are killed.

13. Less than the 41 chickenhawks that voted to keep YOUR kids, or brothers, or sisters, or
dad, or mom in the Iraqi killing fields for up 6 years while their loved ones remain on the safe, golf courses and in their gated communities.

14. I'd be curious about Ole Russ's MOS.
Don't know about the rest of you, but I've met damn few real combat vets who had any love for killing people and breaking things. Nine times out of ten it's the former bench warmers and REMFs screaming for blood.

By the way Russ, you might want to check your old DD Form 4, that oath thang. You, Puddin', swore or affirmed to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Among other things it guarantees the right of We the People to peacefully partition the government for redress of grievances and it doesn't say a mumbling word that only non-liberals could do this. If that oath meant nothing to you, STFU. If you meant what you said, STFU.

20. Yeah, Russ is a bit of a circus freak case who lives in a fantasy world . . .
where imaginary rabid "liberals" are going to attack and deface the Vietnam Memorial.

I have ran across his stuff and his folks on various military sites.

Mostly just pathetic not-quite has beens who have to hate somebody, anybody . . . is it you?

But overall pretty stupid poetry -- or is that poultry as they say in Texas?
