We need to get you fitted for a flight suit. An open letter to Joe Lieberman.

[Bjorn Against]

Dear Joe,

I wanted to acknowledge the extreme manliness you showed today when you stood up and said that you were more than willing to bear the burden of watching other people fight and die in the massacre that you support.

Sure, you didn't use those exact words but you were tough and stood up for your beliefs. You stood for your belief that your constituents really don't matter to you when you said "We've got to think not about the next election but the next generation". After all who cares what the electorate thinks, we need to make sure the next generation gets shipped off to Iraq right?

We need to make sure that these kids who you have told us for so many years were being corrupted by video game violence get sent off to participate in some real violence, because how can a moral person choose to blow up something in a video game when they could be blowing up real people in real life?

After all, you tell us all the killing you are making these young men and women witness is really bringing peace to Iraq. Just today you told us that your "surge" has the enemy "on the run".

So we must be in the last throes of the insurgency, right Joe? This is your Mission Accomplished moment Joe, and I was very disappointed to see that picture of you wearing a common suit and holding a clenched fist.



A common suit like that just does not look tough enough Joe, we need to get you a flight suit. We need to put you on an aircraft carrier underneath a big banner that says "THE ENEMY IS ON THE RUN", we will even let you stuff your crotch to show what a big man you are for helping to put the enemy on the run like you have.

You resemble your friend George so well Joe that I think you deserve to dress up like him. Today it can be a flight suit, and in the future maybe, just maybe you will be able to dress up in the same orange jumpsuit he will be dressing up in. One can only hope.

Sincerely,

A citizen of the Earth

4. Get thee off to the greatest page!

There is no shortage of old men who are eager to sacrifice the sons and daughters of others. They call that 'courage' although hardly any of these chickenhawks have ever served on active duty in the military.

5. Well said.

[Amonester]

6. Joe is soooooooo thinking 'bout the next generation here:

$ 8, 807, 424, 111, 846.14

...

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.10 billion per day since September 29, 2006!

Maybe he is pretty sure he won't be around when the time will come for the next generation (if any...) to pay it back (plus interests).

LiEberman: Watta a crazy psychopath (just like his puppetmasteR$)! :crazy:

He's getting stupider each day that goes by.

Wish he'd know it.

8. wow!

what a great letter- so full of truths and wit. I hope that you sent it- although, he wouldn't take the words to heart.

12. I sent it, but I hardly ever get replies to this type of letter

I used to get replies from many different politicians when I would simply write vote yes on this bill or vote no on that bill, but even with the response letter I felt that they really did not care about what I thought so I started writing letters which were much more blunt about how I felt about them. Since I started doing this I have only gotten one "response" from any politician so far, John McCain sent me back a letter once that did not address a single point I made and just repeated administration talking points.

Despite the lack of response I get however I am convinced my new method of letter writing is more effective because I can post them on the internet and they get read by a lot of people. I think there is this myth in this country that if we be polite in our letters to politicians they will change their minds. Well the politicians I write to are not the type to change their minds and I am tired of wasting my time being polite to them. Maybe I won't get a response, but hopefully I will be able to get under their skin.

Just point him toward Iran and pull the pin! The Mad Bomber is ready to protect and defend to the last drop of blood, as long as it's not his own blood. Work Makes You Free he says!
