Walkin' Papers
Wow! That's all I can say about Brian Fleck's recent response to my guest opinion piece, "A spade is a spade" I guess when you're carpet-bombing a village you just get lucky sometimes and flush out a zealot. I must've hit it pretty close to the mark to get Mr. Fleck to deviate from his usual dribble about hiking trails, Bundt cake or his dog. Apparently, his sleeper articles are a cover for a man with some real opinion. Mr. Fleck showed his true colors as an excessively hormonal fellow suffering from a bad case of BDS: Bush Derangement Syndrome. It's an almost incurable disorder and renders the inflicted virtually a socialist without even knowing it. It's quite sad and many good willed Americans have been infected.
I applaud him in one respect; I'd no idea that he had such a backbone. Mr. Fleck seems to have many questions for me. As I answer, I'll attempt to keep my wits about me so I don't come off as "excessively spacious," whatever that means.
Question one: does one of the Columbine killers wearing a cross make him a Christian terrorist? No, this is difficult for an atheist to understand, but many people who wear crosses like jewelry, and it doesn't make them Christian or a terrorist. The boy wasn't chanting, in the name of Jesus I kill you all! He actually culled out several known Christians who died like martyrs at his evil hand. Nidal Hasan had SOA on his business cards, which stands for Soldiers of Allah. He also was in contact with known terrorists via the internet; he'd repeatedly "freaked out" his co-workers with his anti-American rants. Stating that this Islamic Jihadist was a good American who just cracked under the strain of being Muslim in our military and the Bush Administration drove him to it is pure insanity. That's an insult to the dead.
Apparently, what bothered Mr. Fleck the most was my implication that Barack Obama's weakness was related to this "man caused disaster" This triggered Mr. Fleck into a frenzy of talking points that was quite impressive in its "brazen stupidity" To sum it up: Bush is the devil, if Mr. Fleck believes there is one.
Next question: where are the weapons of mass destruction? I believe they live in Washington and call themselves senators and Congressmen. Just a joke, seriously, since I wasn't privy to any Security Council briefings, I'll say, I think they're hidden in Syria. Just my opinion, but they knew we were coming.
Next question: how many 9/11 terrorists were Saudis? I don't know; most of them I think. Good point, you got me there. And I didn't like it when Bush held that Saudi guy's hand either, weird. But that didn't bother me quite as much as the ever-growing list of kings, dictators and emperors that the anointed one, Barack Obama, incessantly keeps bowing to. Oh yeah, by the way, kissing a Saudi cheek is a sign of respect, like in the mafia, hasn't Mr. Fleck ever seen "The Godfather?"
Next question: "America's pervasive torture tactics?" C'mon, this is boring. Dripping water on someone for a short period of time with a doctor present is NOT TORTURE. Cutting someone's fingers or head off is. That's what they do to us.
Next question: where's Bin Laden? He's dead or maybe hangin' out with his good buddies in Chicago, or maybe Detroit. Lots of cheap housing there, beats the caves of Afghanistan, however I'll need to verify that with my deep sources.
Next question: what do you call U.S. missile strikes that kill civilians? Hmm. Let me think, oh yeah, that's it, WAR. As my ancestor, General Sherman called it, "Total War" And it works, just ask Georgia. If the enemy puts a bomb factory next to a bunch of civilian houses, I guess we should just think happy thoughts and those bombs will just disappear.
Next question: peculiar one here, Mr. Fleck's in favor of putting Al Queda's feet to the fire or even water boarding them, which is perplexing to me, isn't that what we did?
Here's where it gets ugly. Mr. Fleck names Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and crew, then labels them as war criminals. That's a tired line, heard it before, but he takes it one more step down the slippery slope.
Mr. Fleck suggested that "we should hold responsible the people who voted them into office. Let's get a list of those registered Republicans and fine them. People that actively worked on the campaign should be found guilty of war profiteering and do hard time"
Sir, "hard time" and "get a list together?" Are you kidding me? This is still America! Voting is a constitutional right and I'll vote for whoever I damn well please. The same right you have. What should my fine be? I voted for Bush Jr. twice and Bush Sr. once. How much hard time should I do? Will you decide? Will you come to my house to educate me? I'm a peace loving Republican and your comments demand that I arise! If this country is left to people like you we will usher in a new Stalin, Mussolini or God forbid a Hitler. You're talking of black lists, sir, of persecution for one's beliefs! Unalienable rights, have you never heard of it? I pray that you misspoke; otherwise, you are more dangerous than I first believed.
Last question: "All Hat, No Cattle" is a simple reference to understand. In the west, it means many fake cowboys who have hats, but no cows. It implies someone trying to be who they are not, which is exactly who this current president is. The former president from Texas was too stupid to be that fake, he was who he will always be: himself. Love him or hate him, he does own cattle. Your president who you actually racially slurred "the spade in the White House" has hidden and lied about how radical he truly is, but America's waking up to the stark truth of what's going on.
I hope these answers have helped you out. Oh yeah, and don't call my home again unless you want to meet me after school to settle it.
