Barking Moonbat Of The Week
What surprised me here is that I couldn’t understand two-thirds of what this guy is trying to say. I don’t know who he’s trying to impress by it, but his overuse of metaphors and similies makes this column uninteligible as a whole.
My good buddy Ace has a great follow-up though.
The species Quisling is alive and well--even if in the person of a sniveling little pennywhistle.
I suspect the only uniform we ever wore involved Batman briefs.
Just another example of some one being alive and free due to the efforts of those better than him.

I was prepared to get angry but after reading this defensive piece of strung together liberal talking points - he gets my vote for Barking Moonbat of the Year. He and ‘Mother’ Sheehan should get together, they still wouldn’t have a rational thought but they’d cover every liberal whine ever uttered.
Just one question - who died and made him God that his decision that the Iraq War was American imperialism, based on lies and false intell and wrong, that he can proclaim that the military (who can’t understand moral thoughts, beliefs and values, according to this guy) doesn’t deserve to be honored. Just the fact that the US armed forces stay in uniform and fight or stay posted in some of the worst ‘vacation’ spots of the world and rather than come back here to America and just shot morons like this guy, actually die to protect his right to get paid to publish his OPINION. Like I care at all what he thinks.
I’m thinking he got dropped on his head too many times as a kid and “isolated” his brain. I was ordered to “just hang out in Germany” for reasons he dosen’t understand. Joel… It’s called NATO. They asked us to come and help defend them from the communist threat to the east, and have yet to ask us to leave. As an enlisted service member I had the opportunity to perform training with members of a multitude of enlistees from other European countries. They were just as happy about Berlin disco’s being blown up in the name of allah as we were. Berlin, disco’s, I’m getting old. Now It’s burning Paris and the threat is from the southeast and were still “hanging out”.
Actions, not bumper stickers, are the true reflection of a persons attitude and integrity.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.I almost forgot… See ya at the parade!
Hey guys sorry about the spelling, forgot to proof-read (can you tell my mommy was an English teacher when she wasn’t being a CIA operative) my posting. I agree with lumberguy, I spent 7 years in the FRG - and I was there for the disco bombings. I was going to write to this Joel guy but realized that 1) he probably can’t read multi-syllable words 2) probably would not have a clue about the historical (WWII) references [as anything prior to Vietnam is pre-written history for most liberals] nor the poli-sci references [to admit that anyone other than me, has a valid belief, national pride and/or historical reference is not understood by most liberals] and 3) even if he ‘got’ what I wrote, he’d never be man enough to admit it to me, much less anyone else. Just wondering how to fight these kind of people, rational thought process and ‘proof’ just don’t seem to make a difference to them (or at least that’s how it appears).
Went to Jester’s recommend, Ace’s site. Good comments but anyone (yeah, I know we all did) pick up on the subtle rascist comment >sometimes you get lucky and get to fight ethnic genocide in Kosovo, but other times it’s Vietnam<. Let me get it straight Joel boy, if you are WHITE it’s ethnic genocide but if you are asian, kurdish, marsh people or black (darfur)- it’s NOT ethnic genocide. Another prime example of either stupid liberal education (i.e. public education) at work or the liberal belief system of compartmentalizing issues/beliefs and believing that liberals understand your point and the rest of America is too stupid to catch your stupidity and hypocrisy.
"I know this is all easy to say for a guy who grew up with money, did well in school and hasn’t so much as served on jury duty for his country.”
Sounds like a ringing endorsement for “shutting the hell up” to me. This guy is an unrepentant ingrate and he knows it. We have a word for people liek him here in Texas: a$$hole. I was going to go the indignat route, but I looked at the paper he works for and said to myself, “Oh! Okay. Nevermind. That explains it.”
"sniveling little pennywhistle.” LMAO Tann! Great choice of words.
I wonder what tune Pennywhistle would snivel if he were in the WTC on 9/11 or if we plunked him down in Sadr City about a year ago. “Mama mama.... they don’t play fair...”
But it’s really not that easy to say because anyone remotely affiliated with the military could easily beat me up, and I’m listed in the phone book.
When I read this, I thought “he’s right, I was in the Air Force and I could beat him up” and I was ready to look him up in the phone book. Then, my daughter said “Mom, what’s for lunch?” and I had to go feed her. By the time I was done Hewitt and others had done a pretty good job of wiping the floor with him.
Yeah!!
I’m 56 years old with 24 years in the Texas National Guard. I’d kick his ass right now—bad knees and all.

Yeah, Hewitt did a great job and the idiot still didn’t get it. JS kept trying to make his point that his ‘opinion’ (like I care) is that those who are against (the Iraq) war should not be hypocrites or assuage their guilt by ‘supporting the troops’ especially when that ‘support’ is parades and/or yellow ribbon magnets or bumper stickers. Actually in a way, his point is right. Except that (as with most liberals) he doesn’t get IT - in this piece he has ‘decided’ what is right [bombing Kosovo and those who were killed at the Pentagon] and what is wrong [the Iraq war and maybe, sort of the Afghan war] and his ‘support’ (which he never really defines what his ‘support’ constitutes, so who gives a hoot)is therefore qualified by his own omnipotent declarations which even he can’t stay consistant about. And who the hell is he to ask me not to throw a parade for the returning military, if I deem it ‘right.’ Oh yeah, I forgot - he’s a liberal, he’s always right and the rest of us are stupid and wrong.
I just am amazed that someone over him - Editor - allowed this piece of drivel to appear in print. A small bit of proof reading and editing and he would have made his point and not been torn apart by others so damn quickly. Obviously, in today’s lamestream media, succinct opinion pieces aren’t required, just be against the current administration and/or the Iraq war. And they wonder why their subscription rates are in free fall.
Well stated, Wardmama4.
“Lamestream media.” That is good. Good!
Looking forward to seeing your choice of an avatar…
And thank you, Dick, for Comment #11. Sorry I wasn’t in a position to respond sooner. I hope you’ll also grace us with an avatar banner before long.
“Mama mama they don’t play fair?” You got it, friend! He is sniveling a variation of that theme at this moment.
