A Specter Haunting America
A Specter Haunting America
From the Editor`s Blog at Tom Paine

(in part)

About the "impeccably-coiffed" John Boehner`s recent House floor speech:

"If we leave, they will follow us home." Who will follow us home? The Iraqi insurgency? The Shite militiamen? The opportunist kidnappers? Or the foreign Sunni fighters, some of whom have some allegiance to al-Qaida? They`re dying in Iraq so that some day they`ll get the chance to come to America?

1. His mama dresses him up real pretty but he ain't got a brain in his noggin.
I don't think John Boehner would get very far in politics in Massachusetts or NYC, at least not on the ideology he's pimping now.

He has a safe, hyper-Republican district and as a result can afford to blather platitudes and spook the herd with terra terra terra, etc.

And he's got plenty of time to get his hair done.

2. If we have our troops
tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan, and probably soon - Iran -- why would the "enemy" want to keep fighting over there, when it would be easier to attack us over here since all our troops are over there

3. The more moms and dads we waste in Iraq today, means their
perentless children will grow up pissed off to the max, at our children and their children after them.

The more gasoline you pour onto a blazing fire, the more violent, deadly and out of control that flame grows.

The GOP needs to GIVE PEACE A CHANCE...it's what Jesus advised in every case!

"Nuke Thy Neighbor" is the PNAC's final solution...

6. Boner
Boehner likes his name pronounced Bayner. Yeah right Bayner. Basic English grammar rules indicate the correct pronunciation is Boner. If Mr. Boehner doesn't like Boner he might start calling a political party made up of Democrats as the Democratic Party. And that goes for the rest of his butt plug cronies in the Publican Party. OK, I expect too much from a party filled with Dicks.
They said the same thing about fighting communists in Vietnam so we wouldn't have to be worried about them crawling in our bedroom windows while we slept.
Every rationale given for the immoral invasion and occupation of foreign soil has been a load of crap. It's about stealing other sovereign nation's resources, nothing more, nothing less. We have become the tyrants we fought against in WW II and the Cold War, an outlaw nation ruled by war criminals.
Boner, that's it, Boner.
