People, you gotta love ’em. <\/p>\n

With all the Susan Sarandon\/Tim Robbins bashing going on, I was on Mykeru.Com<\/a>, where he brings up an article about 9\/11<\/a>… and oh lookie… Susan Sarandon cooking for the rescue workers, and Tim Robbins rounding up steel-toe boots for the crews at Ground Zero.<\/p>\n

Yeah, they are sooooo damn un-American, aren’t they?
\nNo one remembers that, they just want to remember how outspoken they’ve been on the war lately. Blacklisted from certain events for it.
\n
\nReverend Mykeru has also posted 20 Questions for the Warheads<\/a>, I have yet to see any of the Warbloggers answer it (In their defense, they’ve been busy banning him left and right… They must have missed it.) Here’s my personal favorite:<\/p>\n

5. Assuming that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction and that the United States should remove him from power, please choose which terrorist attacks would have been prevented by a good old fashioned Iraqi regime change: <\/b>
\na. The 1993 bombing of the WTC by al-Qaeda.
\nb. The 1998 bombing of American embassies by al-Qaeda.
\nc. The attack on the USS Cole by al-Qaeda.
\nd. The September 11 attack by al-Qaeda.
\ne. None of the above. <\/p>\n

hee hee… scathing sarcastic wit and venom on every page. You gotta love this guy! Add that with Les’ post that our reasons for war may have been a big lie<\/a>…<\/p>\n

hooboy!<\/p>\n

Please, people… don’t get me wrong. I’m certainly not implying that a little white lie about Saddam having weapons of mass destruction<\/a>, (which was the whole foundation for defying the U.N., putting our troops at risk, killing a LOT more Iraqis and other gory stuff the news won’t show, and liberating a pack of people that aren’t exactly showing a heck of a lot of gratitude…) is ANYWHERE near as bad as a President lying about a blowjob… but well, HOO BOY.<\/p>\n

Let’s boycott people and blacklist anyone who thought this was a bad idea. How un-American can you get by criticizing our President and his actions? Who does Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins think they are, anyway?<\/p>\n

“We must follow our leaders without question. It’s the only way we’ll remain a free country” – Maj. Frank Burns, M*A*S*H 4077<\/b><\/p>\n

I know, I know… some of you thought a belligerent prick like me would love a good war, right?<\/a><\/p>\n
