Winding up a visit from my wacko Liberal older Brother this weekend, and boy, does he have an incredible NEW alert from Liberal radio.
It seems that our President has made it LAW that ALL Vietnam Vets, even up to age 65, are now eligible to be drafted back into the military to be sent to the Middle East. Yes yes.......the last time I saw him it was the children, male and female, who were about to be "drafted" even though his girl is 32 and his boy is 25, and partially handicapped. Yes, sez he, Bush is going to draft them both. Now the age has been expanded to men and women UP TO age 65. Since big Bro is 62, he has a real reason to worry about this (he thinks).
I told him he needs to find a new radio station. He swears that EVERYBODY knows this, and it's ALL OVER THE NEWS, an assertion which I find amusing, since my radio runs for easily 12 hours a day.
So be afraid, be very afraid. We're ALL gonna be drafted, up to age 65, of course. Manditory service, front lines in Iraq, cannon fodder. That's the ONLY way to win the war, according to Big Bro and his NPR latenight stations.
I actually think there might be some adult beverages involved here.
I'll go. I'll need some new equipment and theater training, as well as a choice of weapons. An M-14 and a .45 sidearm. I don't want to go into combat armed like a European.
I hear those MP's that work in the prisons over there have a pretty wild time.
My brother-in-law, a liberal (socialist) and is convinced that they will all be rounded up and exterminated a-la Nazi by the right wingers. Ah-er NAZI stands for National SOCIALIST Party.
Stalin was a socialist-communist- HELLO?
Hadn't you heard?? I have been packed and ready to go for several months now. :)
Hell, I.m only 48 and I doubt I could pass the physical these days...but I guess I could always hold a panzerfaust against the advancing islamic hordes.
And that would be bad, why? ;0)
So you're "waiting for Godot" in Santa Cruz too, 'eh? (your tag line.) Waiting waiting waiting..........
Ridiculous everybody knows we the USA are controlling the weather.
I'd give anything to be able to stick around and enjoy all the replies, however I've gotta take big bro to the Morgan Stanley folks and try to show him what's going on financially. Once a fool always a fool. Be back later.
Mom=Looney Leftist
Haliburton is interviewing 500 a week.
Relax ,you are not allowed to pick your family,its one of lifes little crueltys.
Many older vets would be more than happy to go,myself included.There are many 40, 50 year old vets that are in good physical shape and would embrace the chance to recapture their youth.
Well, then we'll just have to tick her off by giving it back to we few conservative indians ;0)
I laughed at him and told him to loosen that tinfoil hat on his head.
Yup! Its been the "Law of the Land" since the ink was dry on the Constitution. Article I, Section 8: "Congress shall have the power...to raise and support armies..."
Your brother is exactly who Lenin was talking about. (Useful idiot alert!)
I guess I need to count my blessings, I only have to work with people who say such things and that's annoying enough.
As to the beverage consumed? I'm thinking Kool-Aid:)
Wow.
I'm speechless.
Will liberals form a new shortwave radio network, with tinfoil hosts mirror-imaging Mark Koerneke (aka "Mark from Michigan")?
