A parlor pink is a term from the 1930's and later.
A real dedicated "Red" would be off to the barricades, say in the Spanish Civil War. A "Pink" -- like you, apparently -- talks a good game but stays close to home and lets someone else do his fighting.
It's easy for you to abhor force when as many as 200,000 U.S. servicemen are moving into position to protect you from the people that put a bullet in your brain as soon as look at you.
Walt
The protagonist of Lincoln hides behind obliquity to call me a coward. But you're tough on flies, aren't you, Wlat?
Come on, friend, you want to call me names, call me names. See if any of it sticks. I'll hold up my end.
Cowardice. Now that's a pretty strong accusation. Real strong, and real insupportable.... You wouldn't be baiting me, would you, Wlat? You dying to call in the AM's? Your finger hovering over the "abuse" button, boy?
Bite me, Wlat.
