"So you were outraged that Republicans supported Saddam back in the 80's?"

"You were then wondering why the hell Raygun and Bush would arm a murderous tyrant the kind that would kill his own people right?"

Simple question I ask freepers who play up the whole "Saddam killed his own people! butchered them! that means nothing to you???"


Fact is of course they didn't give a shit when their heroes supported his regime NOW all of a sudden they're candidate for a twisted form of Amnesty International.

What's more they don't give a shit about Iraqis, never give a shit or ever will but by Jesus they will put the onions over their eyes to get fake tears when it comes to defending Junior's war plans.....

3. They Like the Idea of Supporting a War Like Children...

cheerleading for their home team. Its the ultimate form of entertainment for the ignorant and souless. I know... I've asked a few myself.

4. Then the freepturds get into

"Well, FDR gave away half of Europe to the Russians . . . "

[noahmijo]

5. To which I say "But we didn't create nor contribute to the rise

of the Soviet Union. We didn't arm them, help them become all powerful and brutal they did it all on their own. Not to mention that is complete bullshit we did nothing of the sort (give half of Europe to Russia they pretty much took it without anyone's permission"

7. But the fascist right wing industrialists and bankers supported Hitler.

Folks like Prescott Bush, George Herbert Walker, Henry Ford, and Charles Lindbergh supported Hitler's military build-up and profited from it.

6. I'm reading a British spy novel called Sand Blind by Julian Rathbone

It takes place in the lead-up to the 1991 Gulf War, and at first, it reads as if it's taking a conservative viewpoint, but it turns out to be extremely cynical about both the Americans and the Brits.
