WEEK 1March 29 to April 04, 2003
Warmongering Conservative [WC]: Most Americans want this war, most Britons want this war, and most Iraqi refugees want this war. Liberal Moron Appeaser [LMA]: America is imperialist! Innocent people are going to be killed! No War! No War! WC: America is imperialist because they are starting a war with a war criminal who happens to have weapons capable of wiping out thousands of Americans in one shot? Were the allies "imperialist" when they took on Hitler? Aren't innocent people killed in every war? LMA: War is bad!! This war is racist!! WC : Of course war is bad but it's also necessary. Prove that this war is racist. Couldn't any war be considered "racist" or "classist" or "jingoist"? LMA : America is imperialist! America is imperialist! This is written just to show the vast gulf there is between the levels of thinking in the anti- pro- camps. Antiwar people reason like Jethro Bodine at age 12, while prowars tend to be more willing to look at facts, more willing to use reason and experience in determining whether war is or is not necessary here.
Hey, Europe, don't you just hate it when those evil infidels in America get it soooo right!!!!! The following is not new but I thought I'd post it anyway, it's from Insignificantthoughts.com In 1938 Chamberlain returned home from his meeting with Hitler and shared his deluded fantasy with the British people, ""...My good friends…a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep. No one would sleep a quiet sleep for another seven years courtesy of European cowardice, fear, and fantasy. Oh no!! Not the truth you evil Americans please STOP!!! How dare you inflict the facts of history on us!!! There's a reason why the USA is the sole superpower in the world - it's because we have saved the world twice over in the last century from destroying itself. On two occasions we were drawn into a bloodbath created by Europeans (and Asians), who have had thousands of years to get civilization right and still have a craven need to bow to evil. ...Today, because of American subsidies, European countries have become the slovenly brother-in-law who sleeps on the couch, waiting for you to give him his weekly handout and then has the gall to tell you how to run your house.

The BBC with its aims at shaping world-opinion in favor of the EU and against America is more French than it is actually British, this is exemplified by its never-ending attempts to twist truth against the allies and in favor of Iraq. To be the citizen of a country and to burn the flag or to side with outsiders against the best interests of your country is the very definition of hypocrisy, it is also the very definition of stupidity.

"Pro-US chanting is treated by the BBC with scepticism. They are quick to say - no doubt with some truth - that the chanters may just be being prudent in view of the presence of heavily armed American soldiers. But why am I not surprised that pro-Saddam chanting is accepted at face value." The BBC is desperately trying to influence world opinion against President Bush. So often I've seen Stephen Cole or Lyse Doucette or some other studio desk-jockey lead in to a story of an allied victory with skepticism and snideness, doing their best to diminish coalition credibility while trying to inject allied war-time mistakes and tragedies into every sentence.

Now I'm hearing on BBC World that Iraqi soldiers have gas-masks and anti-toxins Because they expect allied soldiers to use them against Iraq! If that isn't absolute conscious let's-make-up-some-crap-to-bail-Saddam-out pro-terrorism anti-American, anti-semitic propaganda I don't know what is.

A nation owing the fact that it has any kind of middleclass at all almost entirely to America has risen up in the defense of a war-criminal and in hatred of the USA. Familiarity does indeed breed contempt.

People who have never seen war, real violence, and who have no capacity for imagining it will always believe that they are untouchable, so the WTC attacks seem a long way off to those in San Francisco and Britain, sort of like something they saw in the movies, Saddam Hussein doesn't represent a real threat therefore the war will seem unjust. The BBC reports on these protests but ignore the majority who know better. Why couldn't it have been Rageh Omar or Lyse Doucette???
Fuck the Academy.
They intended to promote a liar by giving him an award. Even if he is a conservative mole planted deep within liberal America with the aim of exposing their folly.
What we're seeing is an intellectual divide: on the anti-war side, people so upset that Al Gore lost the election that they are willing to undermine their own soldiers, put their country and themselves at risk, side with people whose stated objection is to kill them, spit on the American flag, and tell lies in order to try to frustrate him, antiwar arguments are absolutely illegitimate and irrational in and of themselves, what we must look to is the agenda behind them. These people are not merely hysterical simpletons, they're dangerous hysterical simpletons, they put everybody at risk and must be stopped.
Using the (very) old journalist's trick of adding "they said" every victory reported by allied commanders, the BBC reduces their achievements to propaganda, while every setback is reported as fact and Iraqi statements go unquestioned. The BBC agenda of ending the war instead of reporting it rolls on.

Everyone who owes money, lives in government housing, lusts after the American way of life that they will never ever have and claims to hate America and hate President Bush. "Bush is Hitler" they all say, "America is evil" because they have invaded Iraq. Even Americans, the poor, disaffected ones, the ones with no jobs and no real drive to acquire wealth (but ask: "why are we poor" nonetheless) are willing to say their President is evil, willing to undermine the commander of their own soldiers in Iraq. Really what they want is visas and to be more like GWB, confident and rich. Thankfully all of these people are too un-savvy that they provoke a backlash far greater than their support. Michael Moore, cunning self-promoting bastard that he is, knowing or unknowingly added immensely to GWB's support with his apprarently illtimed histrionics. Brilliant , I say, he has earned his Leftist credentials, sold some more copies of his bestselling book, and outraged those Americans capable of thought. |
