What are you doing to help us stay the course?

Ensure you ask every chickenhawk this question. Bloody Irony. Those who wave the flag and blather on about staying the course are the one's who cut and run when offered enlistment papers. Cowardly conservatives.

1. "I was going to enlist, but I'd have to take a pay cut."

Can't tell you how many times I've gotten that answer.

2. My favorite response from them

I haven't served in the military "yet."

And, I didn't know finances trumped patriotism. They haven't been feverishly waving dollar bills.

3. Buying yellow plastic ribbons that say "Support our Troops" or..

better yet, "Pray for our Troops".

6. Our kids in uniform today

are led by a corporate criminal, military deserter, drug addict. They are dying because he is a liar. Yes, they volunteered and those who wave the flag and insist we stay the course aren't doing a damn thing to aid and abet that effort nor are they supporting our troops. Maybe their support of our great leader would ease up if they had to tote a rifle in Fallujah. Oh and please tell me how more people die in car wrecks; doesn't that tag along with the "they are volunteers" talking point?

If getting slaughtered in the desert because of a lie is such a great fucking thing to do then mosy on down to the recruiters office; you sure wouldn't want to miss out on all the fun.

8. Oh I follow your argument perfectly. Its perfect in its simplicity

I say if you want our kids to stay in Iraq indefinitely and get slaughtered and have their heads cut off then why shouldn't you raise your right hand, take up arms and display some real courage; something incredibly lacking in the "conservative" community in America today. And to once again borrow one of those real simple talking points, designed to pacify real simple people, more people die in car wrecks. I have to ask, have you served?

5. Should be "stay off course". The Republican policy of stay off course.
