A simple act of activism. Please join in.
Blogging on right-wing blogs can be fun, annoying, or a depressing drudge. I do some just to tweak the other side, and let them know how flawed their cases are.

Everyday, well amost everyday, I also post something to RW blogs, just to make a point. I usually pick out a couple on jsonline.com, the online version of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The right wingers on there are plentiful, viscious, and without peer in their grasp of wrong, or half, facts. Anyway, I like to point out the "free" press isn't, and that the cost of the wars isn't even being talked about.

jsonline.com got sick of me posting the exact same words, day after day - or may have seen the effectiveness of it - so now I have to modify my language between posts. So, instead of the exercise taking a minute each day, it now takes two.

Anyway, join me in this habit if you're so inclined.

Thanks,

Scuba

Oh, and since our so called "free" press failed to bring it to the attention of the American People, Today, March 26, we will spend over 450 million dollars on the two wars. Plus a million and change for every cruise missile we launch into Libya (now well over 100).

No money for children in poverty. No money for their education. No money for Medicare for All. No money for Social Security.

But we have PLENTY of money for another war. We just love war. Can't you just smell the blood?

and followed by:


Dear China,

Can we please borrown another couple hundred billion? Or so?

we're spending alot of money on humanitarian aid to Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya, and we don't have the money to pay for it. All those humanitarian bombs and missiles are expensive.

We've cut services to our own people until there is no more meat on the bone. So we need credit from you if we're going to continue providing this humanitarian aid.

The grandchildren and great grandchildren of the American people will pay you back, with interest.


Sincerely,


The US Military - Industrial Complex
