Putting money where their mouths is IS not a freeper trait

>>>snip
An extraordinary appeal to Americans from the Bush administration for money to help pay for the reconstruction of Iraq has raised only $600 (£337), The Observer has learnt. Yet since the appeal was launched earlier this month, donations to rebuild New Orleans have attracted hundreds of millions of dollars.

Kind of shows you that they don't give two shits about rebuilding Iraq.

1. Too bad we can't just pump out all the oil and leave
you KNOW that is what they are trying to do, except it will take years and thousands of casualties before "Mission Accomplished"

3. It's all Iraq's fault. You know it is.
Nobody put a gun to their head and told them to build their country right over OUR oil.

Besides, O'Saddam bin Hussein was torturing those poor people to death. When we came along, we only tortured them for the very highest of moral purposes -- to amuse the junior officers who get their jollies from watching low-level enlistees act out sexual perversions with A-Rabbs.

And it wasn't even bad enough to be called "torture". Why, many were the times I received The Rod of Discipline until the blood flowed -- and was still put into a spiked collar and made to allow the dog to bone me! (Amazing what $50 can buy you in Center City Philadelphia during the normally slow mid-afternoon hours).

If you're not with us, you're with them -- Hanoi Jane, Chappaquiddick Ted, Mississippi John Hurt, Hitlery KKKlint00n, Algore, Jean-Pierre Kerry, Hitlery KKKlint00n, and the rest of the Loony Lib-Lesbian Loving Lubricious Laconically Languorous Lophophora-Loving Leftist Liberal Left, who want to confiscate our guns, tax us into the poorhouse, fluoridate our water and contaminate our bodily fluids, seize our Bibles, change all our traffic signs to Metric, force our children to learn Esperanto and to reject Jesus.

--p!
And then, the drugs wore off ...

4. Poetic beauty!

5. They also are not willing to put their boots in the sand.
Thanks to them, all those National Guardsmen from Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas were over in Iraq when they should have been home helping their states recover from Katrina and Rita.

Chickenhawks. Disgusting.
