But I loved it!!! :)

I have to tell myself that some days or else I'd never want to go out of the house or talk to anyone.

We all know the rush to war was absolute bullshit, of course.  The cakewalk and thrown flowers just pleasant fiction to sell the populace.  Members of the reality based community understood that.  But that doesn't preclude some of the neo-con whack jobs from actually believing their own words.  They may very well have believed, based on Gulf War I, that we could invade in early 2003, knock over our old puppet dictator and put a new one in his place, prop things back up and have our battle-hardened, urban warfare ready troops back on American soil ahead of November 2004.  Just in case of emergency...

What if things hadn't gone well with the election and people decided to protest - really protest - the outcome?  Do you think this cabal would hesitate to kill several thousand Americans in order to further their goals?  Looked at the news out of Iraq lately?  Have you wondered why a group who manages such tight control over their people and their message managed to leave so many visible fingerprints on the election?  Maybe they believed the charade would be unnecessary and started their planning late, once the situation became clear.

As so many people here have said, that's crazy.  Crazy doesn't mean it isn't accurate.  I agree with Hunter.  I will be God-damned if these fascist pigs are going to take the country my parents and their parents and so on back struggled to build.  If they want a fight, then I say bring it on, and unlike the coward in chief, I'm willing to say it without having 10,000 armed troops shielding me.  I would love to have this out in the open, instead of everyone standing around pretending to not understand what the other side is doing.  I've done some competitive fighting; let me give you one word of advice from that experience: don't ever underestimate your enemy.

These folks are playing for keeps, and the worst mistake you can make is to forget there is no limit to how far they will go.  This is street fighting, carried to the boardroom.  Eye gouging is permitted.  Don't ever forget that your life means nothing to them, any more than our men and women returning home flag-draped.  You are a means to an end.  As our President is fond of telling us, he sleeps well at night.  If you were gunned down on an American street by an American soldier, they wouldn't lose a minute of sleep over it.  Read Noonan's post as a warning shot.

So Mark, if I can call you that, I notice you've got a big, fat cigar in your mouth.  Want a light?

Honestly I don't give a rats ass about these pontzes threats.  If they feel that froggy they had better jump.  I have been waiting for the better part of the last 20 years for these limp dicks to finally screw up their courage to the point that they take a poke at the left.

Not kidding, anyone with an eye for history and a nervous stomach could see the trend line....

If you are really worried?

Buy a rifle 250 rounds of ammo, and wait.

If these gutless punks, these Goldbergian chickenhawks want to take a chance of a REAL civil war, they will not like the outcome.  As there are far to many former military in OUR ranks and far to many beer swilling good ol' boys in theirs.  I can stil put a quarter size group in a target at 500 yards, and can do so while under pressure.

All in all a civil war might not be that bad a thing.. feed the tree of liberty with the blood of republican tyrants in training, and drive the whack jobs into the sea.

But it won't come to that unless they are stupid and throw the first "punch".  The left is not known for that kind of thing, so they would have to be the initiator of the violence.  And in so doing doom them and their ideology to extinction.  And they know that!  That is why they will make these idle threats to spook you.  They want to make themselves look "bigger", so you don't notice that they have no teeth or claws to prevent you from making a meal of them.

As hunter says ths is the old Republican game.

  Its like the school bully back in grade school who'd attack you and then call you a sissy if you told the teacher; but on the day you finally stood up and gave him a shot right between the eyes, immediately went screaming for the principal.

The funniest, most Ironic thing of all is that it was REPUBLICANS who used to declare in the middle 80's that Liberals were evil becuase they didn't believe in absolute right and wrong, and instead preached "situational ethics"...

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, it did, as you nailed them again, and AGAIN and AGAIN on every point.  Ahhhhhh.  

And isn't it amazing that the minute their people are going down in flames, they immediately start threatening the eruption of some kind of fiery cataclysm?  These people live with their fingers so close to the trigger that I too wonder how far they will go when they realize that the game is completely, absolutely, and entirely up.  Remember Florida 2000 - when they sent their shock troops down to Florida to chant in angry unison outside the recount room and stab the air with pointy, manicured fingers.  Ohh! Said the RW pundits -  Gore's stubborn refusal to be a good loser is fomenting anarchy among the locals!  Yuhh.

Ooo, I gotta read your piece again, Hunter - yum yum!  

(Is there any way to provide a permanent link to it on the dkos front page?)    
 

That was magnificent.

I am fulfilled.
