We were called anti American/ un Patriotic by Republicans like you for speaking out against that war. Tens of millions across the Globe protested


And now you are all in on the War Machine.

Thing is, a lot of us that supported the BS in Iraq, at first, now realize the error of our ways.

Yet, your types have all but accepted endless wars and the Blood of American youth in Shiteholes around the world so Hunter, et al, can get their Monies, Coke and Whores.

Like my hippie mother, you are a disgrace. Once your people became the man, you applaud the same shite you protested for 60 years.

And then you elected a man who ratcheted up Bush's war on terror and where were yall then?



Now yall want another Cold War with Russia and you've allied yourselves with the very neocons who orchestrated that war.

It's the Yankee Puritan ethos. You saw it with their attempts to prevent the Confederate states from being independent. You saw it with Manifest Destiny. You saw it with the genocide of Native American tribes. You saw it with Teddy Roosevelt's imperialism. You saw it with Woodrow Wilson's internationalism. And since World War 2, no other country has fomented more violence around the world in an attempt to remake the world in our own image than the United States. There is a messianic desire among the American political class to use force and violence to remake the world in our image. No Southern man should allow his family to fight and die for this country.


So much history and context put into one paragraph. I would only add that the Bush family also played a big role in what made the military complex what it is today. Remember that the major reason Bush Jr. won his second term was due to 9/11.
