Country Kin and Flatlanders #2
Festivus poles or memorial poles
Who killed all those Iraqis? Hint: It wasn’t our troops.
For those of you who like to fudge words,
- Do you support the troops but not their fighting the war?
- Do you support firemen, but not their putting out fires.
- How about police support, as long as they don’t enforce any laws?
- How should we support Hitler, since he only killed 6M, instead of 20-25M as Stalin did?
- Do you support the UN’s goal of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia? Bill Clinton did, since he prevented the Serbs from ending that war to Serbian satisfaction.
- Do you support the Janjaweeds killing of unarmed persons in Darfur? Who will stop them? Not our army, according to the mushwit liberals here, our Armed Forces are terrorists.
- Do you think we should fight Iran?
For extra credit:
Sitting at the UV Mall food court with your latte one pleasant day, when suddenly a normal member of the Religion of Peace leaps up, starts beheading mothers and kids in a dervish fashion. With whom do you wish to be sitting, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or ME. Any 14 year old going on 37 can figure this one out.
I see no upset with my first post concerning the rotters that trashed the Noble farm. Or how the gun totin’ Woodchucks lived around there and never broke a window.
How hard should we slap the 17-year-old’s wrist for that “prank?” Should he get severe time out? Ripton used to be a standing joke about the hillwilliams living up hillside. What’s living up there now changes nothing
Yeah they’re Festivus poles although the original pole was steel. I cannot speak for other former military; this is one wardog who is renaming them.
Putting lipstick on a pig, changes nothing and produces an ugly pig.

One picture is worth a thousand equivocations from Sophie.
Of course these are Festivus poles! It looks like someone nailed up the “anti-war” signs later just to get media attention.
Big coincidence. Ironic too. Let’s just write it off.
I dunno, this seems like these people at that School are actually trying to show something here. I am not sure about this, but what if they are trying to support the troops, and make sure that they dont get killed? To me, it looks like they are talking about the troops killed more than about the Iraqui killed, right?
yeah i agree with sot
What?
Arent the poles representing the soldiers killed, not the Iraqi citizens? Doesnt that mean they are supporting the troops, and not the civilians?
I guess so, SOT.
This is nothing more than PBS News Hour with Lerher. With all piety, let us count and show how many troops Bush killed.
Nothing nice can come of trying to reason with these individuals.
Like the shock the good samaritan gets when he saves a lawyer, only to be sued. Asked why he sued, the lawyer responded,”It’s my nature.”
I don’t know if SOT is a nickname, or one’s affection for alcohol.
Support Our Troops. I didnt realize there was a second meaning to SOT.
I guess you are right.
I’m not a texter, so please pardon my ignorance.
Caring about the troops is not the same as supporting them. The majority of them believe in their mission. The Richard Belzer Rule is that the troops are too stupid and/or unemployable to understand either the war or the risks. This, in fact, is the subtext in the patronizing attitude expressed about military personnel in combat zones. Caring and sympathy.
Sympathy for them is a conversion of the ordinary compassion we feel for the three-legged, doe-eyed dog. In the case of the benighted human animal in uniform, it’s condescension, not support.
It would also vanish if the expertise and hard determination of these men was more widely known. My three, and the ones I have met through them…Rangers and the like, are the last men in need of sympathy and the last to want it.
