"Terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength. They are invited by the perception of weakness." -Vice-President Dick Cheney, at Camp Pendleton, CA, Tuesday 7/27/2004

Why you want to read us
What you've found, dear reader, is a blog by disaffected, but good natured, righties.
We're not Christian fundies or religious right cheerleaders. Don't look for anti-abortion rants here. You will find fairly realistic foreign policy discussions and complaints about how insidiously communism is rearing its head among the trendy among us. But not much on the whole angry, Jesus-loves-us-unless-you-disagree-with-us movement, or for that matter the lefty predilection to say everyone-who-disagrees-with-me-is-close-minded sickness. We're more or less mid-way between those loons.
We're occasionally funny, sometimes insightful and often blunt.
Enjoy!

Along the lines of strength...
Is it possible to annoy someone (a group, say) so much that they act out of uncontrollable rage? That your strength is such that you can strike with impunity? The terrorist snipers and shoot and run attacks in the Sunni triagle lead me to think that they might belive something like this, that maybe we will lose our cool and destroy half of Ramadi, making them look more like freedom fighters and less like killers.
My solution is to show them our strength mockingly. Let's dump buckets of pig semen on any town that harbors insurgents. Buckets. Buckets. Buckets.
It's non-lethal. It's fearfully haram. It's a definite insult. Let our strength be shown by how much we can antagonize them freely.
No soldiers were harmed in the making of this cumdrop.
I am now learned in the ways of the occupiers. Forgive me, Sensei!
I have to read Foucault now.
