Current Wingnut Iraq Meme: "Freedom is not Free"
Hey, imbeciles: Stop trying to equate the disastrous lie that is the Iraq quagmire with World War II, or any other just battle for freedom.

I'm so sick of these armchair-warrior "patriots" who would be pissing their pants the second they set foot in Iraq.

3. That's what they fall back on, every time, when they've lost the argument
It's an oldie, too. Nothing new. I heard that one in the sixties.

4. I had a discussion with a guy that used that line on me last night
I responded by outlining better ways of spreading it than war.

I call it "Spreading Democracy the Easy Way"

I hate when people try to use a bumper sticker as their argument. It's patronizing.

5. How does invading another country that had nothing to do w/ 9-11
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 06:42 PM by BeatleBoot
have anything to do with our freedom?

Better yet, how do they keep getting away with saying that?

No WMD means that the United Nations sanctions worked.

6. "Freedom is not Free"
Whenever I hear this shit I like to tell the a-holes spouting it that they should ruck up and ship out on the first flight to Baghdad.
