How would the U.S. react if occupying armies were shooting our kids?
Edited on Sat Jun-03-06 02:37 PM by Philosoraptor
I just wonder how we as a nation would react if an invading army took to the habit of waking us up before dawn and shooting our mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers and daughters and sons? By the thousands.

Would we be all upset, or would American Idol keep us distracted?

2. Well, the arrogance would vaporize.
I predict the gun toting macho slobs would suddenly find themselves faced with their own kind of force, and run for their lives. It might actually be entertaining, god forbid.

My grandmother loaded guns to hand to her soldiers, so they could fend off the Turks. It really changes a person.

3. Some of the worst of them
would probably become collaborators. It happens in all wars.

It would not surprise me to see some beer-gutted faux news-watching morans turning on their own.

4. you can BET that would happen. they're tapeworms.
conservatives are parasites that suck a living out of anything that will in turn let them live.
