I am turning these comments I posted over at
Rove was wrong but STOP saying the US was united behind the war effort after 9-11! because they bear repeating:
OWN THE WAR BEING FOUGHT IN YOUR NAME
Whether we like it or not we live and are citizens of the United States. It's time we fucking own this war and take responsibility for it. Too many people are going "tra lalala, I'm not for Bush, it's not my war, it's not my problem".
Well you know what
IT IS OUR WAR AND IT IS OUR PROBLEM
Whenever people tell you "It's not my war" tell, nah-uh, IT IS.
THIS WAR IS BEING WAGED IN OUR NAME THAT'S WHY IT'S TIME FOR US TO STOP IT.
Next time your neighbor goes about as if killing kids in Iraq is as irrelevant as the next pair of panties she's going to wear, remind her
THIS IS OUR WAR, THIS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY. DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT NOW.
True patriots take responsibility for the crimes committed by their country and in their name. It is a moral imperative for all citizens against the Bush administration to claim this war as theirs and demand full participation in the decision making process. Why? Because in a true democracy, if the country says, get out, then it's get out.
It's our war and we demand to get out NOW.
The majority of this country, Republicans and Democrats were behind the President when he made the call to war. Now the majority in this country, both Republicans and Democrats are saying,
The more you say it, the louder you say, the heavier the moral imperative for a complete removal of US miliatry forces in Iraq.
THIS IS OUR WAR, THIS IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY THAT'S WHY WE DEMAND TO GET OUT OF IRAQ.
Stop this whining about this not being your war. It is. It your war as much as mine and Bush's and Cheney. So demand from your leaders a true democratic process. Demand from your leaders a full acknowledgement of "we the people". Say to them: This is my country and my war and I as the majority of Americans are telling you, no, demanding that you so as "we the people" say. If this is my war, as a true patriot I want the US to get out of Iraq.
Own your war so you can own your peace.
