There is no military draft yet because the Christian Right is doing the recruiting on behalf of the government.

Ron Luce and his co-conspirators in the far right-wing Christian fundamentalist camps, are out there busily glorifying war as if it were godliness. They are having youth gatherings in stadium arenas called BattleCry. BattleCry is so filled with military metaphor and rhetoric that you would think it was a giant pre-boot camp designed to entice troubled youth trying to do good in the world to join the military.

The BattleCry Christian youth movement is supported by big money from the Christian right-wing Fundamentalist industrial complex. They are not only promoting war and thereby military recruitment, but also homophobia and severe sexism by advocating the relinquishment of the right of sovereignty of women over their own bodies and firmly denouncing sexual diversity.

They have proclaimed they are the definitive deciders as to what God wants, and they are furiously working their literal biblical interpretations into the government.

Now I'm confused. Shouldn't you be thanking them? They're drawing from the [amazon] CHICkeN-HAWK REPUBICAN NEOCON FACISTS [/amazon] youth base whom you've criticized for not having the balls to join the military.

Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful.

Blimey.

'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'

I will answer this with another excerpt.

heard it over and over when questioning them. "The government is put in power by god and if you question the government you are questioning God. So don't."

This type of indoctrination insures a free ride to all kinds of governmental abuses, from dumping tons of weaponized radioactive genocidal uranium, to the unauthorized and secret wiretapping of millions of citizens, exactly like a KGB, to the abolition of Habeas Corpus, to torture committed by the US military. This behavior of the Christian right makes Nazi Germany look like a side show! Let's fact it, The Right-Wing Christians are the western world's religious extremists.


And yes.. I think if you think WAR is a good thing.. I expect your ass to be out there on the front line instead of someone who you believe to be below you in a job that is below you... as so many in the upper class who are benefiting so handsomely are doing by virtue of their class status and being Friends of the Administration.

... ugh ...

Further exacerbation of the civilian-military divide is not good for the nation.

I keep hearing this over and over from the Right Wing.... yet I have NEVER seen anything or heard anything that even comes close to a factual quote from her...

Just more of your right wing lies and inuendo I imagine.

I would just like to see all of these right wing types who are such vociferous supporters of this fiasco in Iraq... who are civilian.. step up ... and join the military.. I guarantee that if they are not sociopaths that when they get done with their third deployment to a war zone.. they MIGHT just have a different perspective of what they are currently wishing on others.

As if it would make a difference to you? I could have proof that the Democrats practice satanic mass on the floor of the Senate and you'd go off about the Repubs *inventing* it....

She wants to take the profits of the oil companies. Of course, she hasn't told us how the oil companies are going to continue to operate, but at least she's punishing someone who's making about .08 cents on the dollar.
