[un]Holy smoke! Is Rush still doing drugs?

He's advocating the use of "very, very brutal steps" in the War on Terror in Iraq, and suggests that as Bush will not have to worry about reelection after a second term, he won't need to worry about just how he goes about winning this war on terror. Is Rush suggesting that the US should just nuke the crap out of anyone that gets in it's way?

This kind of thinking disgusts me so much. I know many Americans have a love affair with guns and the cowboy vigilante approach to things, and that was fine when y'all just had a few muskets, but the bigger and badder the weapon, the bigger the mouth and the more stupid the brain behind it.

The whole damned world needs to disarm. Completely. Individuals, nations, the lot - send the weapons industry into bankruptcy and redundancy. You wanna fight, use slingshots firing twinkies.

Stupid humans. Sick fuck Rush.

Scary indeed.

It's that redneck gun mentality, coupled with Hollywood big production mentality. Shoot 'em up, blow 'em up, bring it on! No clue about realities, and not a brain cell between them.

Wankers.

Well, I'm all for sending everyone that suggests such bullshit over there to fight the insurgents in Iraq. Let's start with Arnold Swartzenegger and Sylvester Stallone just to set an example. Their movies are most responsible for the movie portrayal of shootemup military style mentality. Hell, lets send Mel Gibson too. We might as well send Clint Eastwood and revive John Wayne's corpse too. "We don't need no stinking body armor." Yeehaw!!!

[Petra]

Oh, man - I so agree with you, warrenly.

Just goes to show you, eh - even a thread killing sumbitch can have a great idea every once in awhile.





(you know I'm just ribbing ya, right? But, yep, I agree with your idea)

[Dingfod]

Yeehaw!

[Petra]

Jesus. Are they testing the waters for something....

Rush is an official Bush/Cheney campaign advisor. Are they testing public reaction to the possibility of the US nuking Iraq soon after a Bush win in the election?

[ApostateAbe]

Yeah, if we could petition God to make all firearms and explosives and chemical weapons and germ warfare disappear forever, then I would be sign the petition. Unfortunately, there is no God. Damn.

[Dingfod]

Oh, come on, people would kill each other with sharpened sticks. It's in their nature.

Just before I go to dinner...


Who was it that said that they didn't know what World War III would be fought with, but World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones?

I believe that was Albert Einstein. Another good one of his was this gem:

Einstein was a hell of a scientist but that doesnt make him a great philosopher. I think that it is naive to think diplomacy will always be the answer and that weapons will not be need.

I think that you can prevent and prepare for war.

I don't know if you are being facetious or cheeky, but I happen to agree very strongly with your remark.

Humans are animals. We have many or most of the same animal urges and impulses that other "higher-level" mammals do. One of the them is to fight over mates, our young, our tribles, food (and other resources), and territory.

We haven't and won't outgrow those urges. It's unrealistic to think that so-called social progress has or will lead us, as a species, to be able to suppress them on a wide scale, under all circumstances, and indefinitely.

So, basically, we knew Iraq had WMD's because we sold them to them, right?

Just curious how this all works.

I guess they were really surprised not to find them. Makes sense.

What a convenient way to make terrorists so you can go kill them later.

I know I'm not being realistic, AA, but...well....I have a dream!
