8. To be fair, it was 2am and I was half in the bag when I wrote it
I'd forgotten how good cognac is.

Anyway, I'm a christian and you're not because you don't agree with the bizarre interpretation of the old testament that my preacher vomited all over us this morning.

Obama is a marxist, socialist fascist who wants to destroy our country, and making health care accessible is part of that plan.

The founding fathers actually hated government.

God is hate.

Pretty soon words don't mean anything. You have to formally deconstruct every statement.

We had to destroy the village to save it.

Life is cheap to Asians, they don't value it (this said after Europeans murdered three million Vietnamese)

And now we're looking for a way to leave Afghanistan "with honor"

There's a good one. Honor is usually associated with right action. How can you twist it around to apply it to an illegal war that goes on for a decade and in which the majority of victims are unarmed civilians and the aggressor used as its justification the claim that a bunch of illiterate sheep herders were an immediate and pressing threat to our safety so it's necessary to fly millions of tons of equipment and hundreds of thousands of highly trained troops armed with the finest cutting-edge technology 10 thousand miles to central asia and slaughter them wholesale. Honor. Patriotism.

I used to tire of hearing Orwell quoted and misquoted all the time, and now what he predicted is actually happening all around me. Two years of graduate study in post modernism couldn't straighten this fucking mess out.
