Warning: NSFW, terrible language trigger warning, title altered so that I won't burn in Hell for eternity, excerpt edited so that everything will be ok. You can all thank me for defending your sensitivities.

Let's state this as plainly as possible: The Iraq "war" was a complete and total waste. It was completely and totally worthless. The United States and the rest of the world would be in better shape if Saddam Hussein were still in power. Every life lost was for nothing. Every limb, every scar was for nothing. Every veteran who faces the unending nightmare of PTSD does so for nothing. Let's just stop ****** pretending anything else. Let's grow up a little and face that fact. Let's look the families of the dead in the eyes and tell them the truth.
The invasion of Iraq was the heaving **** of a bloated superpower dragging its gut over to pump away because it could. And most everyone just went along with it, applauding each "victory" like it was the parentloving Battle of Gettysburg. All that's left behind is the giant cosmic fudgy joke that is a United States made weaker by wasting trillions of dollars on the mad ego trip of acid-blinded utopians and an Iraq that is exploding like a bottle of soda shaken by a paint mixer and uncapped by a gun.
And we need to bring former Vice President Dick Cheney before those families and have him tell the truth: "We did it for the dollars. We went to war with Iraq because war profiteering was the easiest gosh darned way to enrich already rich people, like my friends at Halliburton. It was robbery and we named it 'patriotism.' It was extortion and we called it 'honor.'" Then, we should let the families do what they want. Maybe they'd let him go. Maybe they'd tear him limb from hideous limb. Maybe they'd rip out his machine heart and do something so awful that there is really no euphemistic way to rephrase it.
If nothing else, it would stop him from co-signing an editorial from him and his heinous daughter, Liz, like the one that ran in the Wall Street Journal today. In it, Cheney and Cheney pretty much say that President Obama is an America-hating poopy head who wants our enemies to win and who is too stupid to understand anything about the real world, the world that Cheney (Dick) understands is full of threats without understanding that they are threats he created.

they can plant their tulips. 
I see what you did there...crafty!
They are sentient beings. It's just a good thing they can't scream when you yank them from their life source.
Alerting.
now that you got all that vile, disgusting, gutter language out of your system?

[/IMG][/URL]...there were no kiddies hanging around here. I did not see a problem, and the edited version is censorship. I hate that. But...thanks for reposting!
The only person who should be doing any editing is the Rude Pundit his or her self.
I do think the Rude Pundit would gain a larger audience with a tad less rudeness, but that is the "schtick," to be Quite Rude, with these articles, so I guess the Pundit faces a bit of a conundrum.
Perhaps Pundit could prepare two versions--one PG, suitable for everything from DU to Basic Cable, and another, just linked, with the full Meat and Two Veg, with the rudeness intact...?
Then the Pundit could provide the usual "NSFW" banner warnings and "Don't click if you are offended" directions.
Some people are clearly being sarcastic, but they either forget, or are "too hipster" to use a 
tag for the people who just cannot get the point without an illustration.
The net nannies are probably well meaning, most of 'em, but I wouldn't be surprised if some are disrupting with a "trolling from the left" sense of poutrage--to turn the board into a parody of itself. And yeah, some are just "controlling"--my way or the highway types.
My family is chock-a-block full of lively conversationalists, and some of them would fit into what DU regards as a "protected group" that should be shielded from some of this terrible and offensive speech. Problem is, I couldn't/wouldn't DARE point them to this board because the way some of them talk (snidely, ironically, with intense sarcasm aforethought) they'd be the perpetrators of some of that speech, and banned in short order from the "protected" groups where their interests might lie, and soon banned from the board for simple irreverence and brutal honesty. They're "good progressives" but they aren't sugar-coaters.
I won't hide a post where I think the poster might be speaking ironically or if there's any ambiguity. There are a few people who have button-pushing reputations, but we know them when we see them, pretty much.
to the mud flinging. I try always to include the sarcasm flag because there is always someone that doesnt get it. Not to say that I dont catch unmarked sarcasm myself. I admit I have a chip on my shoulder and "go off" a little to easily some times.

He might read DU!
Dang, I wish I could embed the tweet instead of uploading a screenshot of it...
is absolutely cringeworthy.
Many thanks for this effort, but that hidden thread is still an outrage.
This is not the type of commentary that our community needs or wants; DU is not Reader's Digest or Good Housekeeping. My sensitivities do just fine when confronted with a righteous rant, no minds are corrupted or feelings burnt.
Removing the expletives from the Rude Pundit is one "giant cosmic fucking joke". DU is better than that.
Context doesn't matter you know.
they need to protect us from the bad world. They believe they know best. They want to cleanse DU into some vision of heaven where never a naughty word is heard. Some are well meaning but misdirected while others are just bullies hiding behind their anonymity. IMO they are authoritarians masquerading as liberals.
DU is a great place and this pesky group cannot make it suck.
I read it, the 19th blog post and loved it. The people who alerted can go suck air, maybe some oxygen will reach their sensitive little offended natures. Rude, I LOL EVERY time I think of your blog post of the 19th. thank you for the truth. The truth always hurts someone.Ohhh, and thank you JVS.
