Yep! Now we are going to get a universal draft. You'll get a choice. You can go overseas with a gun, or you can go overseas with a shovel or a bedpan or something. Cheer up, kiddies! It'll be fun!

Obama is an idiot.Jul 2nd, 2008 - 20:17:26

'We have got to have a civilian national security force that is just as strong.''

Gee, lets get more people on the government payroll since the government always does such a good job at management. Organized in paramilitary fashion and dependent on the Obama administration for their paychecks... FANTASTIC. Why not call them the peoples army? Just like Communist China or Soviet Russia? This thing the DNC has nominated is unbelievably dangerous.

''Loving your country shouldn't just mean watching fireworks on the fourth of July,' the Illinois senator said. 'Loving your country must mean accepting your responsibility to do your part to change it.' '

Change it in to a bankrupt, appeasing, socialist nanny state? Sorry, I don't need any lectures on patriotism from someone who has never failed to befriend whatever America hating or America attacking SOB that he has come in to contact with. From God Damn America preacher to his bomb planting, US flag stomping pal Bill Ayres to his America resenting wife... Obama is in no position to talk about patriotism the filthy hypocrite.

And just think, kiddies, your new uniforms will have both stripes and plaids. That way you can start clashing before you start marching.

What a bunch of idiots. The whole lot of you. Your stupid comments do not even deserve comments. How do you-all make it everyday without jumping off a bridge. Bunch of babies, why don't you cry into your binkies.

RE:'What a bunch of idiots. The whole lot of you. Your stupid comments do not even deserve comments. How do you-all make it everyday without jumping off a bridge. Bunch of babies, why don't you cry into your binkies.'

Okay, so the stripes and plaids crack was a little over the top. I'll tell you what, Pperfect. We'll have 'em wear striped tops and plaid shorts with tall socks, but we'll make the tops t-tops and the shorts can be as baggy as the new trooper wants them to be. Oh, and you'll be allowed to wear your cover sideways.

Will that work?

A future Tiananmen/Times Square tank speed bump.Jul 2nd, 2008 - 21:47:39

'What a bunch of idiots. '

Quelle surprise, you don't have any kind of rebuttal. No doubt you are hoping to be a political kommissar in the new peoples army... a lateral transition from incompetent college professor.

'Your stupid comments do not even deserve comments.'

Then shut your arugula hole.

A lot of the posters are idiots without an intelligent comment on the article.

So, Noharness, when are you going to put down your baby bottle full of Jack Daniels, do something useful with your life and enlist? You'd look positively dashing in a pink Beret and matching diapers.

'Quelle surprise, you don't have any kind of rebuttal. No doubt you are hoping to be a political kommissar in the new peoples army... a lateral transition from incompetent college professor.'

I am sure you meant to say 'well surprise', but Quelle sounds right for a bigoted right wing jealous creep like you but lets review your very intelligent discourse on the next President of the United States---your and my Commander in Chief just for you GI Joe playing nutballs.

'Gee, lets get more people on the government payroll since the government always does such a good job at management. Organized in paramilitary fashion and dependent on the Obama administration for their paychecks... FANTASTIC. Why not call them the peoples army? Just like Communist China or Soviet Russia? This thing the DNC has nominated is unbelievably dangerous.'

Yes I think it is awful for people to serve their country don't you? What kind of response is that to an idea to help my country? And the peoples army comment shows your red baiting pee sized brain, how could a volunteer group[ end up as the peoples army---it could not, just more dribble out of your clown mouth. And the thing you are supporting cannot even keep his campaign together, nor help his own party as there are not many in his own party that want to support him cause he is not a Jesus Freak. Our guy gets lots of support---our bad!

'Change it in to a bankrupt, appeasing, socialist nanny state? Sorry, I don't need any lectures on patriotism from someone who has never failed to befriend whatever America hating or America attacking SOB that he has come in to contact with. From God Damn America preacher to his bomb planting, US flag stomping pal Bill Ayres to his America resenting wife... Obama is in no position to talk about patriotism the filthy hypocrite.'

It is already bankrupt fool, the sign has yet to be posted. He will bring it back with his new ideas, or because he is black you just cannot see your way to support him??? Then the same old crap, Bill Ayres this, flag stomping that, preacher this wife that. You are a pathetic hate mongering sod. He has gone much further in his life than you have so I guess he can lefture you about anything he pleases, what a Putz.

'Then shut your arugula hole.'

You know I love arugula, but as I have told you along with numerous others on this board I do not have to shut up. You are a vile right wing Nazi that preaches how much of an American you are and yet do not support the basics of Democracy---which is we all have the right and the obligation to speak up when we see something we do not agree with---and that be you Putz!
