If Amazon Sold Ideology

Mind-boggling:

“Let me be clear: There is no military solution in Iraq, and there never was. The best way to protect our security and to pressure Iraq’s leaders to resolve their civil war is to immediately begin to remove our combat troops,” Obama said in his speech. “Not in six months or one year — now.”

Or – to put is succinctly – “The best way to protect America from terrorist attacks is to prove to the psychopathic Muslims that we’ll quit fighting if they just hold out long enough”.
Dumbest damn thing I ever heard.
Still, there are people who’ll lap it up like a cat going after a saucer of fish guts.
Which puts me in mind of Amazon.com’s helpful feature “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought”.
So… “People Who Believe This Also Believe”:


  • Michael Moore is a pure-souled prophet who speaks truth to power, and – unlike black-hearted corporate media moguls – would ALWAYS choose integrity over revenue. Not that he’s ever had to make that choice. Which just goes to show that the system works. Except that – as he’s repeatedly shown us – the system is inverted, corrupt, and FUBAR.
  • Animals have rights because they feel pain, unless they’re screaming fetuses.
  • Being murdered by a gun leaves you more dead than being murdered by a knife, baseball bat, or socialized medicine.
  • SUV’s destroy the planet. That’s why liberals ride in limousines.
  • Patchouli is an acceptable substitute for soap.
  • People should give a damn whether you’re offended by something.
  • Nothing’s worth fighting for, except metaphorically.
  • Oral sex isn’t, really.
  • Anything you can do in the privacy of your own bedroom you should be able to flaunt in public, except prayer.
  • Free speech means that you can say whatever you want and no one is allowed to tell you what a galactic fudgepile you are for saying it.
  • Despite being a socialist trough-hog with little-to-no understanding of what makes America better than other countries, Barack Obama is eminently electable, and, indeed, is the best choice among the entire current field of viable candidates.
  • Besides, skin color should be taken into consideration when choosing the leader of the free world, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a filthy racist.

By the way, if anyone ever catches me seriously espousing ANY of the above opinions, please shoot me, because it means the brain tumor is inoperable.

    • Al Gore is a scientist who invented the Internet.
    • Global warming is the largest threat to our civilization.
    • They have a “right” to medical care at my expense.
    • The Federal Government should fund public education.
    • You can “talk” terrorist governments out of their violent ways.
    • The United States acted immoraly dropping the A-bomb on Japan.
    • The United Nations should make U.S. foreign policy.
      The list is 100 times longer than this.
  1. “The best way to protect our security and to pressure Iraq’s leaders to resolve their civil war is to immediately begin to remove our combat troops,” Obama said in his speech. “Not in six months or one year — now.”

    So that Iraq Timetable Obama recently published — I now know Obama didn’t write it. Hell, he didn’t even read it. Just had his people ‘put it out there’. After all, that statement nullifies every.single.word of his policy on Iraq troop withdrawl. He’s a bigger waffler than Bill Clinton ever was.

  2. George “Dubya” Bush is a maniacal evil mastermind who conducted a nationwide voter fraud scheme disenfranchising millions of progressive voters enroute to stealing the 2000 & 2004 elections, knocked down the WTC blaming it on the religion of peace, faked the intel on Iraqi WMDs so Haliburton could get the Iraqi oil*, manipulated a hurricane into killing only black people in a Democratic stronghold, planted cash evidence in a Democraticic congressman’s freezer, AND is too stoooooooooooopid to operate a door knob.
    * 3 times in my lifetime the US has gone to war to steal oil! When are we actually going to get some??!!

  3. All scientists are uncorruptable, honest, have absolutely no political bias whatsoever, and always work pro bono, so we should do whatever they say without question.
    -Unless they don’t believe in global warming, then they are evil shills for big oil and want to destroy the world.

  4. The best way to help the economy is for you to give even more of your hard-earned money to a kleptocratic Congress and an elphantine, corrupt, inefficient federal bureaucracy so that they can spend it on useless crap faster than Rosie O’Donnell sucks down a milkshake.

    • Unlike overindulgence in food, drugs, booze, or anything else you could think of, overindulgence in sex has absolutely no consequences.
    • On the other hand, no red-blooded American male would have any desire whatsoever to get naked with Mary Katherine Ham.
      Let’s keep this up – this could be a thread for the ages.
    • Putting together 50+ countries that have mostly wars as shared history, no shared language, no shared economy, completely different levels of productivity and societal strata, plus near-total mistrust and distaste for each other under the control of a single, hegemonic entity called the European Union works.
    • That such hegemonic entity overseeing dozens of states, micromanaging even the size of cucumbers and the amount of milk cows can produce, is somehow going to make such union as powerful a ‘country’ as the free market-driven USA.
    • Fascism is not socialism; Mussolini was not a member of the Socialist Party and the Communisty Party; Hitler did not write the Mein Kampf while in jail for a failed communist golpe.
    • If Only We Had Listened(tm), Hitler would have never done what he did. That is why we should not believe the terrorists when they scream their plans for us at the top of their lungs. After all, if they want to kill joooos, who cares?
    • Who’s this Neville Chamberlain you speak about?
      PS: this is your best post ever, Harvey. Great birthday present!
  5. -Hamas is the rightfully, democratically elected government of Gaza, deserving of all foreign aid (which goes directly and entirely to starving children) and should be allowed re-claim all lands presently “occupied’ by evil Jews. However, G.W. Bush’s administration has stolen every election since the year 2000, hates children and instituted No Child Left Behind to ruin education and hardworking, law-abiding “migrant workers” should be allowed to claim legal residence and “borrow” any social security identity they so choose anywhere on the North American continent.
