We are at War
Every time one of those mealy-mouthed democrats opens his girly-
mouth to complain about us looting the treasury, rolling wads of cash
off our fat-cat pals for high-bid government contracts etcetera all we
have to do to stop them dead in their tracks, is to say with all the
seriousness we can muster. “We are a nation at WAR.” --You traitorous
slime are emboldening our enemies. And the liberal bastards run home
crying.
It’s always good for a gut-busting laugh. I’m the guy who cut the
defense budget 25% under ‘Grey-Boy’s’ daddy-o. Heh, heh, heh. Had
to. It was the peace dividend! Hah, hah, ho. Reagan had gone nuts on
his 600 ship navy and ABMs. We pawned off the S & Ls to the
Commercial Banks. We removed oversight. (Remember Junk-Bonds?)
And then a few years later had to bail out the Financial Industry to a
tune of, oh, around 5 trillion dollars when the commercial real-estate
bubble collapsed. That was good for a laugh. “Grey-Boy’s” kid brother
got caught with his tit in the ringer but got off.
So, yeah, we got 10 divisions in the Army and 2 1/2 for the Marine
Corps. I did that a generation ago. We would have trouble fighting the
Philippine Insurrection against natives with bolo knives. It’s been how
long now, and there’s still this insolent debate about armor for
“Humvees,” ( a stupid idea for an overpriced vehicle) and soldiers.
While I thought this war a really good idea, I always thought the tax cut
was a better one!
Whenever I see one of our Congressional caucus repeating the talking
points, ‘we are at war’ to deflect whatever marginal criticism is being
leveled by some gutless opponent, I high-five the TV. “Attaboy.” One
Tenth of one percent of “us” are at war. The rest of us are “at money.”
If you don’t like it wimp, then wipe your behind with it.
