Generation Chickenhawk
(Totally stolen from Pam's House Blend). Thanks, Pam!
Generation Chickenhawk is Max Blumenthal's short but revealing look at the College Republicans and their overwhelming support for the Iraq War because "we have to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here". OK, maybe not so much support that they are actually willing to enlist and go over there to Iraq, you understand, since they have much more important things to do, like go to school and the College Republican convention and to speak out in favor of the war and supporting the troops and maybe just to have some medical problem that keeps them from being all gung-ho. Oh, and there's also an appearance by Tom Delay where he proposes that if we had banned abortion we wouldn't have an immigration problem because all those millions of poor babies that were aborted would have been born and thus provided the country with all the labor it needed. WTF!?

Well, there ya have it, problem solved.
Ban abortions = no need for illegal alien workers.
Pray to God = no longer Gay
Avoid physically going to war = fake medical issues, or get scholarships you can't pass up.
Fight on their land = we don't want to experience what war really is like.
Go College Republicans!
Oh yea, maybe Hunting with Cheney could be the new spring break vacation for ya'll!

I like that spring break idea. Especially if it was grouse hunting. Also, Jami, your post was RIGHT on!

I couldn't finish it. I had to clean the vomit off of my keyboard.
Now I must find more wine.
So my tears have some place to go as I weep for our country.
Pitiful motherf*ckers. Every last one of them.

Wow. Wow. Wow.
Wow.
BTW, I am copyrighting the phrase "officially not gay" so that I might manufacture t-shirts and make a jillion dollars at these conventions.
Wow again.

Arrghh.
Erm.
My brain hurts so much right now. Were they afraid if the crew stayed and kept filming, it might give away the Republican Playbook?
Right with you...WTF?!?

Yeah, those aborted babies could be picking cherries and roofing houses right now.
Sobering thought.
