Willie: Watcha readin' there, Joe?
Joe: The New York Times
Willie: Why you look so glum?
Joe: The New York Times says we're fightin' this war because of a lie. It says Bush lied to get us sent over here, because he wants Iraq's oil.
Willie: Awwww, don't believe that, Joe, they aint over here. They don't know what good things we done here.
Joe: I don't know, Willie, they make some good points. Listen to this:
Harry Reid says, "...the Bush White House manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to bolster its case for the war in Iraq and to discredit anyone who dared to challenge the president".
Willie: Naw, Bush wouldn't do that. He's the President!
Joe: (reading) "All of these things simply were not true," Mr. Reid said. "The administration knew that, but they did not share that with me or anyone else in Congress that I know of."
Willie: What are they sayin'? There aint no reason to fight? Saddam wasn't a threat? That's crazy! Look at all the mass graves we found!
Joe: Yeah, Willie, but the New York Times says there wouldn't be any terrorists in Iraq if we hadn't invaded.
Willie: There were terrorists here before we got here. We seen what they did. The people here told us all about the prisons and the executions and the torture. We seen proof!
Joe: But the Times says they came here to make us leave, that there wouldn't be attacks if we weren't here.
Willie: Well, Joe, If that's true we're fighting' for nothin'...Do you really think the President would do that to us? Send us here to die for lies? C'mon Joe, that don't make no sense!
Joe: That's what the newspaper says, Willie, and they're the most important newspaper in the world. It says that right here. See?
Willie: Well, I guess if the New York Times says so, it must be true. They wouldn't say it if it wasn't, would they?
Joe: Well, I say the hell with helping these people build a democracy. They don't want us here, anyway. The New York Times says so.
Willie: But they don't act like they don't want us here. Why do they cheer us and help us and smile at us everywhere we go if they don't want us here? Look at em! Don't it look like they want us here?
Joe: Who you gonna believe, Willie? The New York Times? Or your lyin' eyes?
Willie: I guess you're right, Joe. The New York Times wouldn't say those things if they weren't true.
Joe: Where ya goin', Willie?
Willie, (picking up rifle and walking away with it): I aint fightin' this war for no damn lie. I'm goin' home. America aint worth dyin' for.
Joe: Wait up, Willie! I'm goin', too!

Now, Mark...
You know that they support the TROOPS...
They just don't support the MISSION.
Or the President.
Or the Country.
And they accuse Scooter Libby of treason...
If you want to call the Bath party terrorists for killing all the civilians I guess you could get away with it but then Pinochet and Stalin are now terrorists too. The terrorists being referred to are the ones who focus their militant actions on a political entity such as the United States and carry out gorilla operations in support of a cause. The Bath party wasn't even labeled a terrorist organization.
Tug:
Why should I support the President when his administration hires people who commit treason?
They hate us for our freedom!
Your'e either with us or with the terrorists!
Good catch phrases but they really don't hold a lot of water.
Great post, Mark! Bruiser has clearly missed the point, then again...that's par for the course of a liberal, as they make so clear every time they open their mouths regarding the Global War on Terrorism.
I don't particularly care for the point this post makes -- being one of those lying, vicious liberals -- but it was very creative and smart. Good job. I'm looking forward to reading your NaNoWriMo novel. Have you thought about posting an excerpt here? That would be cool.
Bruiser says, "carry out gorilla operations"
"gorilla"!!!
LOL!!
Very creative, Mark.
Mark, good post.
As for our friend Bruiser, he sure makes liberals look really bad...
I can't believe he stooped to calling a pastor names. Maybe it reflects more on his vicious, amoral, corrupt, and twisted character than on liberals. It's a heart issue, not political with him. He needs prayer. He needs the Savior.
I agree with Bruiser. Here. Each comment.
Bruiser can be a total ass at times. But here, he speaks the truth.
Pastor Tim degrades his traditionally honorable title of "pastor" with drivel like he posted here today.
That's the way I see it.
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
Courage.
Jesus is a liberal.
Deal.
Oh, Mark, I swear to God, I'm not trying to be mean. But the dialogue you created in this post would have been considered creative and to the point in 1944, or maybe even in 1969. But not now.
And now, I will try to return to the if-you-can't-say-something-nice-don't-say-anything-at-all philosophy that hs kept me so generally quiet around here lately.
Why do you say that, ER? Do you disagree that the New York Times demoralizes the troops in Iraq, by their Liberally biased reporting and editorializing?
Do you think the terrorists are not emboldened when they see our President being accused of lying to his people?
I think it's entirely to the point.
And Bruiser wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit him in the ass. All he does is repeat Liberal talking points. He probably doesn't even understand what they mean. I mean, look at what he writes. Gorillas? LOL!
Jesus still loves you, bruiser!
I don't believe I would be making fun of anyone's spelling if I were you.
I think you overrate the influence of the NYT on a generation that gets its news from other sources.
And I will fight anyone who says that to question the president is to aid and abet our enemies.
I was lied to. Who the hell should I want to see strung up? If the buck stops with the president, it's him, isn't it? There's a NEST of neocons liars in the White House. Who is their boss?
Thank God th Senate grew some balls yesterday.
"I was lied to. Who the hell should I want to see strung up? If the buck stops with the president, it's him, isn't it?
If indeed you were lied to, yes. But so far there is no proof anyone lied about anything. Even your own heroes are on record as saying the WMD did exist, and besides, WMD weren't the only reason we went to war in Iraq. Remember the 16 UN resolutions that Saddam refused to comply with?
And the spelling is not what I am making fun of. It is the choice of words. The word, "Gorilla" is spelled right.
GUERILLA! Sorry Mr. Grammar King. It’s nice to see that someone is perfect.
Pastor:
Is that supposed to be a joke? Moral high ground? So are only the people who don't want women to be ruled by men immoral? Lying, cheating, stealing, committing perjury, securities fraud, falsifying intelligence, insider trading, greed, ya those are all things that I think of when I hear the words moral high ground. Take a look in the mirror dude. Morality isn't just about whether or not you protest gay people’s funerals.
Mark:
You know what demoralizes troops? Extending their stays, sending them into battle without the proper gear, starting useless wars for personal profit, making them watch as over 2000 of their comrade’s die and then cutting their benefits. That demoralizes the troops a lot more than saying they may be fighting a war from which only oil companies and Halliburton benefit.
Toad, except for the fact that the New York Times has made all of those same charges, too. In fact, That is probably where you get those talking points. In addition to spreading Liberal propoganda that Bush lied, they have also spread the lies that this is a useless war for profit.
You don't care if the troops are demoralized, in fact, you are absolutely gleeful that they are. You and your kind want the troops demoralized because you hate Bush so much that you want us to lose the war on Iraq.
I tell ya what's old, is Mar -- and anyone else who uses it -- throwing out the "talking points" label every time someone comes up with a consice list of reasoned assertions that he happens to disagree with.
They're thinking points, dude, and you should do some more of that.
Pastor Tim: I am not, at all, saying that you, as a pastor, do not have the right to spout off on any ol' thing you like, just as we all do.
I am saying that you are wrong, and that your apparently blind adherence to the Republican Party is an insult to the Christ you profess to profess. Brother.
And it's damn hard for me to put my credence into Bush's Jesus talk when I see so little Jesus walk in the man. Yep. I'm judging him by his actions as president.
:-)
The Dems bought the lie, yes, and repeated it. The next election cycle will decide whether they will pay for their own blindness and willingness to accept such.
Somebody started the lying. I want his or their head.
In the meantime, the bucks stops with the commander in chief.
