Subject: Seeing Saddam Fall
Today when I was watching all of the Iraqis dancing in glee
as the status of Saddam fell, I couldn't help but think, what's wrong
with these people? Don't these idiots realize that we come not as
liberators but as imperialists? (So I've heard.) Also, didn't they read that
piece of leftist bullshit titled "Why the Iraqis aren't cheering"?
Don't they realize that cultural relativism is the correct moral theory,
and thus while freedom is good for us Americans, oppression and gas
attacks are good for them? It's like they have no respect for the left
wing agenda here in the U.S. If their lives will improve, they make Noam
Chomsky look bad, and that is unacceptable.
Bottom line: If the Iraqis are happier being free, it will make it a
lot harder to impose a socialist dictatorship here in the U.S. So in
the name of Marx and Jacques Derrida let us condemn the hand-waving and
smiling of the Iraqis on this awful day.

Where can I get some of those rubber bullets? Did you SEE the
bruises on that guy? (They always call them "bullets," but I think they
must be more properly termed slugs, because it looks like they fire 'em
out of shotguns.)
American tanks in the center of Baghdad this morning! Woo-hoo! Quote of
the day: banner held up by Iraqis, saying "HUMAN SHIELDS GO HOME!"

Subject: New York City Street Vendors
Why does New York City pick on street vendors??? That's the
question of the day.
If you really want to save the humans, can you facilitate an "adopt a
vendor" program. People can send you their addresses and $25 a month and
in turn you send them an 8x10 and the personal history of a street
vendor. The $25 bucks a month can go toward paying the harassment fines,
like the $200 they get for parking 3 inches too close to a subway grate.
Imagine New York City without hot dogs. Scary isn't it?

Subject: "The body you've always wanted."
How about, "Diamonds are Forever"?
Same kind of shit, different product. Why are they "Forever"? Cause if
you don't think they are, you might start selling them, after your
eleventh divorce---thereby flooding the market, lowering the price for
them, and causing diamond sellers to lose millions.
I don't think either of these are good business strategies. One day
soon, Bowflex will run out of fat slobs to dupe, and in a sudden blood
rush to the head, they will realize they should have just tried to appeal
to people who WANTED their product, rather then trying to CREATE more
weightlifters.
Hell, at least I know what stocks to not buy.
Editor's Note: I don't want to be that down on Bowflex. Coming from a marketing background, I have to throw in my two cents and say "creating" more weightlifters is fine. Some of those potential weightlifters (the real ones, not the fat slobs who will always be fat slobs) haven't been weightlifters because they couldn't afford the cost of a gym. But nevertheless, "the body you've always wanted" is pretty damn stupid. (JR)

Subject: A Solution At Last!
Jason, I've done it! I know exactly what we should do about
these war protesters who are clogging traffic and preventing innocent
businessmen, many of whom might not even support the war, from getting to
their jobs and keeping the economy from getting into even deeper shit.
We should treat them as we would treat any other refuse blocking the
roads. What do I mean? Well, we should roll in a fleet of bulldozers and
scoop up hippy idiot protesters by the bucketful. Then, they can all be
thrown in the back of a truck and dumped in a landfill like the rest of
the garbage polluting our cities. How about it, eh?
Editor's Note: That's not very Earth-conscious. I think we should recycle them. (JR)

Subject: Holy War
Why is it that the mindless "sheople" of the Left denegrate
their "position" with namecalling when trying to defend their
"position"? Because that "position" is usually so far from REALITY, that in
frustration and without any factual basis for the opinion "given them" from
"Der Leaders", they have nothing left and resort to calling the
Realists "mother fuckers". They cannot think for themselves. It is sad that
in the "Age of Information", that these "sheople" cannot READ for
themselves to gather enough facts from the myriad of sources available (from
the Left and from the Right) to formulate an informed opinion of the
Reality of the current situation.
The REALITY is that the U.S. is THE Benevolent Big Boy on the Block,
i.e., the ONLY benevolent superpower in the world, and our way of life is
being threatened by Jihadistan.
We are the Benevolent Big Boy and for that I am not sorry, I rejoice to
live in such a land. I love my Country, and long before it was
fashionable. I want our way of life to continue so that "sheople" like Marta
can spout their mindless, unrealistic, PROPOGANDA without fear of
torture and terror.
You are right to call a Holy War against their mindless drivel. I have
never couched my position because of a political climate, and will
continue this policy. It's called CHARACTER.
I, too, tire of the American Socialists who are soooo disappointed in
our Country, that they just "have to speak out". I have a better idea,
don't just speak out - GET OUT. You can be welcomed in France with
ticker tape parades and then you can talk shit about the U.S. Put your
money where your mouth is and get out. (Oh, by the way, it will be a bit
harder to put that "money where the mouth is" in France due to the 70%
tax scales you'll be paying to live out your Socialist dreams). Vive'
La VAT Tax!
LONG LIVE THE U.S.A. AND OUR BEAUTIFUL CONSTITUTION!!!
Message to Marta: READ, read, read everything you can; not just what
is spoon fed you by the Nation, Newsweek, Peter Jennings, or the NY
Times. READ. READ. READ. And while you're at it, I think some reading on
History would be quite useful, and maybe some grammar, as well.

Subject: The C-Word
Jason, _I_ was the one who used the phrase "French cunt". You
never mentioned the cunt's nationality. AND you're confusing two
different posts, I think.
Not that I'm pissed or something.
And DO check out protestwarrior.com (if you haven't already).
"Except for ending slavery, fascism, nazism and communism WAR HAS NEVER
SOLVED ANYTHING"
Your latest outburst is GREAT.
YOU ROCK!
DON'T STOP!

Editor's Note: Not that this is the slightest bit interesting to anybody else, but I wrote, "Before we deport this cunt back to France". Hence, I get credit for using the c word first. Hey, I earned it. (JR)

Subject: tinhorn friends
I think that "clearer policy" (re: dealing with unfree
nations) is at least being *contemplated* right now. Isn't that what this
whole Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, et al "New American Century" business
is? Being upfront that our goal is to help them be more like us? Not
being shy about spreading American values?
I wrote this whole thing last night about how the USA is the Federation
(yes, from Star Trek) - but I was kinda drunk, so it might not be any
good.
Editor's Note: Most likely, it's even better because you were drunk. I'm late in posting this, but feel free to send it. (JR)

Subject: Anti-protestors article
I feel as though your name-calling and use of patriotism to signify war as a good thing is very immature. I could call you a cunt and a motherfucker too, but that wouldn't really change anything now would it? I thought you would find this interesting:
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that
we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic
and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
-- Hermann Goering, Nazi leader, at the Nuremberg Trials, April 18, 1946
Does this second quote sound familiar at all?
-respectably, Shanna
Editor's Note: Please find a quote (since you seem to oppose independent thought) that defends the spouting of pro-dictatorship propaganda and the breaking of legitimate laws without taking any criticism for said spouting. (JR)

Subject: Saddamalama Ding-Dong
Jason,
Well, I disagree with this war for a variety of reasons. But leaving
that aside, I'd like to win this war ASAP with as few lives lost as
possible. My best friend is in the Navy, and I want him home safe and sound
the sooner the better.
In the meantime, I'd like to take this very teachable moment in history
to propose a change in the Bush administration's policy vis a vis all
of our little tinhorn dictator friends. Let's ask ourselves - who are
the Saddam Husseins of tomorrow?
The thing is, we have to rethink the whole "enemy of my enemy is my
friend" thing, because it's gotten us into such trouble lately. In the
80's, Osama was our friend because he was the enemy of the Russians;
Saddam was our friend because he was the enemy of the Iranians. So I think
the right thing to do would be, stop doing business with Indonesia
(whose military is raping and plundering on behalf of ExxonMobil as we
speak), forget about being friends with Musharref in Pakistan, and put China
on notice. Not that we're going to kick all of their asses militarily,
but economically. Stop selling weapons to anyone who offers us cash
upfront, for Chrissakes. We can't police the world, but we sure can stop
arming non-democracies, especially when those arms keeps winding up
pointing at our best friends.
Editor's Note: I'm actually not convinced that arming one dictator for the purpose of inflicting damage on another is a bad thing necessarily. But I agree that we need to have a clearer policy to the nations you mentioned. (JR)

Subject: why don't you make fun of the Nation
Jason...why the hell don't you make fun of the Nation? I'm in
the unfortunate position of being a leftist and making fun of the
Nation is like a Catholic farting in church (with the exception of the Pope
of course). But sometimes, I swear they have the silliest shit in there
thats totally turns the leftist academia into cannon fodder. I'd do it
but I'd get fired. Go to their website and see anything Barbara
Erinriech (sp?) has ever written and GO CRAZY!
Editor's Note: I haven't read the Nation, but I have tried Moother Goose. I mean Mother Jones. A friend lent it to me, and as much as I tried, I couldn't get through the entire thing. But your "I'd get fired" comment is rather curious. Do you work for the magazine? (JR)

Jason, you shouldn't have edited out those 2 parts of your
article. I was laughing my arse off the second time I read your article! I

Subject: Just to clear things a bit...
To Jason: you mentioned Femme Nikita is the only Nikita you'd
heard of. What about Krushchev?
To Marta: "that French cunt" were not Jason's words but mine. When I
called that bitch a cunt, I was only implying that she possessed a
certain organ which is not a dick. I thought it obvious - Jacques Chirac is a
dick, his female spies are cunts. Or was it the fact that she was
_French_ that bothered you? Well, to be politically correct, I'll now call
Madonna an American cunt, Ulrika Meinhof a German cunt, and my ex-Math
teacher a Ukrainian cunt (can't think of a single Arabic cunt,
goddammit!). Since you are obviously a cunt, I'll call you one too. The fact
that I don't know your nationality does nothing to prevent me from doing
so. See? Equal opportunities, bitch.
By the way, I'm neither ignorant, nor American. And I don't hate the
USA, despite your claim that everybody does. So cover your face in
sympathy with rightless Muslim women and go fuck yourself with a protest
sign.
Q: What's red & orange & looks good on hippies?

Editor's Note: My memory for history isn't as good as my ability to use the "c" word. Which I did, by the way, in the Full Support of the War article, so that was what she was referring to. (JR)

I'm trying to figure out what to scribble on a big sheet of
paper and hold on the edge of the highway where the hippies are
standing. What about this one:
WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WAR IS NEVER THE ANSWER! HUH?
Is that too vague? (The point being: what are "troops" FOR?) Seeking
suggestions; I have a week.

Subject: NYC-SAFE
Hey, it's Sunday, I'm done with the New York Times, The Book
Review, the New Yorker, the Nation and limited articles of the American
Prospect (the biggest bunker against conservative media ever assembled)
and I'm lost in the bowels of the internet to figure out what Ayn Rand
thinks of Homeland Security. Now I always thought Libertarians were
basically the same as pot smoking republicans but there may be a
divergence in philosophy here. (That doesn't mean to sound as offensive as you
may have taken it, but its the most accurate description I can give
you.) Do you support limitations on freedoms (i.e. INS registrations,
banks' requirements to turn over acct. info to the administration, extreme
loosening of wiretapping and internet monitering laws and of course the
whole issue with the books you check out at the public library)? If
not, instead of cheering the war in the Middle East how about booing the
war on the home front? Or does that run the risk of appearing
unpatriotic?
Editor's Note: While I'm a bit disappointed that I would be consulted after the NYT, the Nation, and the New Yorker, at least you implicitly acknowledge the shortcomings of those media. Of course, I never said I speak for Ayn Rand, and do not consider myself a Libertarian, but that aside, I'd be happy to give you my opinion. (And BTW, Ayn Rand described Libertarians as "hippies of the right", so your description is in synch with her's.) The answer is: No, I don't support limiting freedom. And why do I cheer on the war in Iraq? Because nothing is more important right now. (JR)

Subject: pro-war motherfuckers
first of all, YOU IGNORANT MOTHERFUCKER who wrote that
article on pro-war are the reason the world is so fucked up. Anti-war
demonstrators are a thorn in your ass? Well you're the one who's fuckin
trippin if you think they're just a bother-millions of people who STRONGLY
AGREE on anti-war sentiments got together to tell the world how they
feel; after all, is that not the fucking definition of FREEDOM and
FREEDOM OR SPEECH? AMERICA? you dont fuckin know the meaning. That French
cunt? It shows just how much of a fucking ignorant American you
are....why the hell do you think everyone hates the States? Oh, that's right,
because of PEOPLE LIKE YOU. And the anti-war protestors don't give a
fuck about the innocent people who will die? FUCK YOU. you're pro-war
and thats what you say. Watch the System of a Down video for Boom! you
ignorant asshole. Yeah, Iraq invaded Kuwait....but you dont have
everything. You only took the fact that made Iraq look bad to make your own
pathetic excuse for an article look better. America gave Iraq weapons
in the early nineties to destroy Iran and..OOPS!...now they're being
used again you. SERVES THE STATES RIGHT. you Americans feel like you
have to police the whole fucking world. Well you don't like the politics
and "torture" (even though it might be media-endorsed) and so you
invade another country to "HELP THEIR PEOPLE". well they dont fucking need
your help, they hate you. and so that means that if they dont like the
politics of the states then they should invade america? THATS TERRORISM
YOU MOTHERFUCKER. YOU'RE ALL FUCKING TERRORISTS. the states is the
most egotistic self-absorbed ignorant country on this planet and your
supremacy is falling...thank the Lord. If Bush hadn't won the presidency
none of this would have happened! But no, you all had to choose the
stupid fucker. the Bush family was made rich by oil...so now the ONLY
FUCKING REASON he's invading iraq is to get their 4 TRILLION DOLLAR OIL
WELLS and to "beat" them because his father wasnt competent enough to.
yet at present the states is getting their asses kicked. I personally
feel that no one should die, be it Americans or the Iraqi people. YOU
FUCKER YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU.
Editor's Note: First of all, I want to sincerely thank you. Any post that ends in not one, not two, but three "fuck yous" (and in all caps nonetheless), tells me with perfect clarity that what I wrote could not have infuriated you more. And that gives me pleasure, so I thank you. Now, there are several tactics I could take in addressing your post. For example, I could mock your use of language, I could focus on the pure, unrestricted emotionalistic "subconscious vomit" approach to your comments, I could employ an equally angry approach and bitch-slap you like you've never been bitch-slapped before, or I could simply make light of your transparent stupidity. Instead, I'll opt for another approach: to list your factual inaccuracies, contradictions, and evasions, with brief comments:
- You assume that "millions of people who strongly agree on anti-war sentiments" getting together can't be a "bother" simply because they have the freedom to do it. I also have the freedom to voice my views, but you were evidently "bothered" by them, were you not?
- You evade the protesters' act of blocking traffic (and the fact that police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, and commuters have no ability to flap their wings and fly over such protesters) with two little words: "get together".
- You employ the stolen concept fallacy by using the phrase "freedom of speech" to describe not only the act of verbal communication, but also the act of physical coercion.
- You falsely assume that I actually care whether "everyone" hates the United States or not. Not so. It's perfectly fine with me if they hate the United States. I just think that if they pose an objective threat to our existence, they should be obliterated.
- Curiously, you feel that watching a System of a Down video is important research for determining one's views about anti-war protesters. I disagree. (I will add, however, that I own their album "Toxicity", having been sold on the song "Chop Suey!", and was rather disappointed to find that the band would make 14 versions of the same song and call it an "album".)
- You wipe out the meaning of Iraq invading Kuwait by describing it as a "fact that made Iraq look bad" that I mentioned purely to make my article "look better".
- You assert that (a) previous mistaken foreign policy decisions and/or (b) the preference for one evil dictatorship to be defeated rather than another is a moral justification for a dictatorship's use of weapons against the troops of a free nation.
- You put the word "torture" in quotes, I assume, because you don't feel that having one's eye's gouged out or one's penis electrocuted should be characterized with such harsh language.
- You assert that the U.S. is invading Iraq to "help their people". True, the people who reside in a dictatorship will be helped by the elimination of their dictatorial government, but that is not the reason why the U.S. is morally right in invading Iraq. The U.S. is morally right because it is acting in its selfish interests to protect the lives of its own citizens.
- Your implication that the U.S. invaded Iraq because we "dont like the politics" [stet] of Iraq is again another evasion of the known actions and capabilities of Iraq.
- To describe a war against a dictatorship, which by definition has initiated violence (against its own people and those of neighboring countries) as "terrorism" is a self-induced, mind-stifling evasion.
- To call all Americans "terrorists", and to "thank the lord" that American "supremacy is falling" is pure envy.
- The dull "war for oil" rationalization is getting really old, and really boring. We didn't keep the Kuwaiti oil last time, did we?
- You say the United States is "getting their asses kicked". This is a fantasy not even remotely tied to a fact, so is not worthy of analysis.
- You feel that I, "fucker", should be ashamed of myself. I hope that we can agree to disagree on this point.
