I’m not sure what you mean, Sarge. Why would these things only happen under a leftist presidency?

[Old Sarge]

Because a Leftist Presidency would get the unequivocal and unanimous backing of the press, the campuses, and the majority of the American people - after all, they are the majority now.

There is no way you can convince me that a non-Socialist President could ever pull this off, even if American cities were reduced to radioactive piles the day before.

Appeals to American unity would be derided as reactionary right-wing extremist jingoism.

The victim industry would shriek how the attacks were our own fault.

Or better still, how they were American weapons fired by stealth bombers (LIHOP/MIHOP).

And the sheep will believe.

I no longer have faith or trust in the Americna people. They have proven they are willing to leave their soldeirs twisting in the wind. I am sorry I ever went to Iraq. These people don’t deserve my protection.
