"When you give a speech, you talk about things you think are important... I didn’t use the word troops, I used the word military, and I think [giggles] they refer to the same thing.”The Military-Industrial-Complex are People, my friend. Now, what do you expect from a cowardly twerp like Mitt Romney?
Career Candidate Mitt Romney.
"One of the ways my sons are showing support for the nation is helping me get elected. Because they think I'd make a great President." - Mitt Romney (in 2008) on why his 5 sons are too valuable to risk serving in the "Military".
It's no surprise Mitt Romney sees the Troops as nothing more than the "Military". Individuals mean nothing to a Chicken Hawk Vulture Capitalist like Romney. To Republicans Individual Troops are Cogs. We are nothing more than little wooden tokens in their Great Con Game.
If 1 or 100 or 5000 need to be sacrificed to serve the Republican goals of turning America into a Neo-Feudalist Wage Slave then so be it.
Look at the Candidate Paul Ryan. Ryan never served. Ryan never had a real job in his life. Like all Modern Republicans he immediately went to work on the Staff of some older Republican Bureaucrat before running (a super fast marathon) and becoming a career Bureaucrat himself.
Republicans no longer serve in the military. As I wrote about the 2010 CPAC convention, [See my Post: CPAC = Chicken Hawks United and Domestic Terrorist Sympathizers ]
The funniest thing about watching CPAC is the cavalcade of speakers all have the same look. Soft, Pasty and doughy. It's as if the Pillsbury Dough Boy has been adopted as the symbol for CPAC.So, if Republicans are able to steal this election and enshrine the Chicken Hawks Romney and Ryan into the White House don't be surprised when the drumbeats of War begin to sound. After all it won't be Romney's 5 sons in Iran or any of the Janesville, Wisconsin Ryan clan combing the Syrian Desert looking for the Bush Phantom WMDs. Republicans just start the Wars they don't fight in them.
Of course, "Dough Boy" is a misnomer for this group. Of the speakers nary a one had the chops to do military service. Yet, all of them Beat their chests and pound the lectern We must defend America! We of course, means someone else.
But, what will happen is Military spending will increase as the Chicken Hawk Warmongers on the Right call for more Austerity. And the defecit which Republicans caused will balloon again but just as with Bush and Obama, the Republicans will hide it and blame the Man who comes in afterwards for not cleaning up their mess.
It's no coincidence he thinks so little of our people in uniform. Witness the way returning service personnel with PTSD were treated during the Bush era. The wingnuts are forever uncomfortable with people who are the Real Thing. What they can only aspire to in fantasy they despise in reality. It's the same reason they hate Obama. He really is black and better than they are.
ReplyDeleteRmoney and his mini-cheney if their handlers and financiers can steal the election for them will need to repay them. And they will. Money will flow to the military contractors like it was WWII again. And all that hardware will need an adventure to go to. The industry will make the money, and they can get into the history book as war presidents, yes presidents. If they make it, the voting system will be fixed to the point Ryan will have more than the normal VP leg up for his run for the white house. By then the supreme court should be up to 7 rubber stamps, maybe 8.
ReplyDeleteTo Romney "The Troops" are poor people (ergo not worth mentioning), "The Military" are Rich Corporatists like himself...
ReplyDeleteGo screw yourself you stupid trailer-trash retarded asshole.
ReplyDeleteChicken Shit Coward smithy defends Chicken Hawk Coward Romney with all his best insults.
ReplyDeleteAs expected: Anti-Obama hate film full of crap. FACT CHECK!
ReplyDeleteAnyone who doesn’t have a hateful bone in their body knows this for a fact. 2016: Obama’s America by Dinesh D’Souza is nothng but Grade-S Neo-Cancervative propaganda racist BS! The real nature of this hate-fest of lies is to scare Americans into becoming racists and vote the Black man out of office. Even though we were too late, the hate-speech movie has done well in theaters, but we can still post the truth
It is also dead wrong. That is because it misses the fundamental political fact of the last dozen years: the Obama administration is the operational successor of the Bush administration. In Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Guantanamo, on Wall Street, Barack Obama is George W. Bush in blackface. Obama is the star of a 21-century minstrel show.
This fact has been deliberately ignored for almost four years by both the neoconservative Right and the grin-and-bear-it Left. Neither side will admit what I regard as the fundamental fact of this documentary. It is a long whitewash of the policies of George W. Bush.
So, they’re just mad that a blackman is in the white house and you can’t wait to get him out?
Drumbeats of war? Like Chickenhawk Obama (I killed Obama Bin Laden) in Yemen?
ReplyDeleteLike Chickenhawk Obama continuing to prosecute a hopeless war in Afghanistan despite people we've trained turning on us?
ReplyDeleteWhere are the anti-war protests? Put a Dem in the White House and all those wars become OK all of a sudden.
Hypocrites.
You are the Biggest Chicken Shit Hypocrite to ever grace my blog. And I thank you for that Silverfiddle.
ReplyDeleteThe amazing gall you have in trying to appropriate the term chicken hawk for Obama is astounding.
Romney championed the draft for Vietnam which he knew he'd never face.
Ryan voted lockstep with ever Bush war measure because he was safely ensconced as a never worked a day bureaucrat.
Man you are just going to be livid and more incoherent when Obama wins...
