Freeper/Neo Con logic is amazing (here's one bashing the troops)
Remember, according to them, we're cowards, pansies who won't fight in a war based on lies, hate America and don't support the Troops. Check out this Post on an AOL Board (the intitial post is priceless, I love the person who posted this), then check out the Freeptard's response.

Saddle Up or Shut Up!
This message is directed at pro-Bush, pro-war, able-bodied adults between the ages of 18 and 42. This is your moment of truth. If you think that the war in Iraq is a noble cause still worth fighting, it's time for you to put your life where your mouth is.
As you may have heard, the US military is having a pretty rough time meeting their recruitment goals. For several months now, both the Army and the Marines have not met their monthly enlistment quotas. Not even the promise of increased signing bonuses has been able to get young men and women of this country to join the military to go fight in Iraq. Why? Because most Americans now realize that Bush and his neocon handlers are nothing but a bunch of liars, thieves, and war criminals.
So, if you still fervently believe in Bush and his war, it's time for you to saddle up or shut up. Below, I have provided links to direct you to the branch of the US military you wish to serve in. Your services as an internet propagandist for the Bush administration and their ill-conceived war in Iraq are no longer needed on the homefront -- they need boots on the ground.

Posting rants about "anti-American libs," and plastering your car with yellow magnetic ribbons are no longer sufficient means of "supporting the troops." You need to put a dust-cover on the keyboard, put the car in storage, and march down to the nearest recruitment center in your neighborhood, and sign on the dotted line. No more excuses.
It's time to saddle up, or shut up.

US NAVY
US AIR FORCE

1. White Feathers For Freeperstani War Lovers
You know, during World War One, jingoists would pass out white feathers to able-bodied men who hadn't enlisted in the British Royal Army to serve in the war against Kaiser Wilhelm.

I always thought it would be great street theater for honorably-discharged Democrat former military personnel to go to some of these pro-war rallies and start handing out white feathers to "Conservative"/Republican chicken hawks.

Would-be progressive Michael Moores are really missing a bet here.

2. Canary feathers would be better
since they're small and yellow.

3. Yeah, for Americans, a yellow feather would work best.
You can't be too subtle with most of these folks.

4. When you get into mid-30's approval ratings
you've pretty much cleaned out normal people and people like this are left.

8. In the mid-30s
IMHO, you're still looking at about 15% diehard corporatist (for whom all this Bushwa is still VERY good), coupled with 20% Religion Industry. When you see that number fall to 30 and below, that will be the erosion not of the corporatists, but of the knuckle-walker base. They will feel betrayed by the lack of "prayuh in ah skoowz" and the fact that no matter how hard they pray for * and speak in tongues and handle snakes, they're still getting poorer and Gawd seems to be getting deafer.

9. You're probably right
as the corporatists will hold on until Bush policies become harmful to the corporations. Of course, Bush's policies are overall extremely harmful to corporations in the long term. For now, they're increasing shareholder wealth which is all they really care about anyway.

However, the fundies have been thrown their ration of red meat with the Miers nomination. If it goes down in flames, which at this point appears a certainty, Bush can keep their support with a simple, "Hey, I put her out there for you. They voted her down. It's not my fault." (as if anything ever is his fault). But Bush has to also appear to be working to get her approved in order for this to happen or else they'll say he didn't do enough and there will be some fundie erosion.

11. Its amazing that they would even use JC's name like this, when
in all reality God and JC along with MLK, Mother T. are probably weeping for what we have done to the world and it's people.

It's too bad that JC isn't here to tell him what the real deal is.

7. Oh, a "SLAVE" am I?
That's a LAUGH, coming from some high-school dropout who spends his days jerkin' off to Jeff Gannon's pictures in his mom's basement when he's not changing tyres and oil down at Pep Boys...

"i would go fight, but..."
Oh STFU, you Chickenhawk.
