Pirate's Cove

Finally, someone in Leftard World admits what they really think

This has been digging at me for, oh, about 4 years now. I have been hesitant to express this thought, in comments sections and in discussion with other people about the Iraq quagmire for fear of, I don’t know, being called mean. Or, un-American. Or something.

Supporting the troops essentially means supporting the illegal war. It seems that us anti-war types have been doing all sorts of mental and philisophical gymnastics to try and work around this. What has emerged is a sort of low impact, mealy-mouthed common wisdom that is palatable to everyone but is ultimately going to allow us to stay in Iraq for years to come. (snip)

Until we have another draft, this is a volunteer armed services. I am not even beginning to count the numerous mercenaries that are involved in the occupation.  You signed up, you get to go to the desert and risk being shot at by brown skinned people who don’t believe the lies you’ve been told. A war of aggression is immoral, period. If you believe in God, you can damned well be sure you are going to hell for your participation in it. The only troop I support is the man or woman who refuses to be deployed so that they can make the middle east accessible to profiteers who don’t give a flying F about morality or democracy. Or a soldier’s life. (snip)

I am sorry but supporting the troops means supporting this illegal war.

This diary is followed by a discussion of:

• stop saying that, O’Reilly is watching
• all the volunteers in the military are idiots from poor backgrounds who had no choice
• Supporting the troops is a jingoistic slogan derived from 9/11
• calling him a troll (McQ at QandO debunks that, as well as other breakdown of the diary)
• supporting the troops means advocating cut and run, and buying them a phone card
• don’t call all Arabs brown skinned!
• and lots more weirdness

But, the best comment is (drum roll, please)

Don’t make the mistake that because freedom of speech allows you to say a thing, that you should say a thing.

Now go contemplate this on the tree of woe. by PhoenixOnABurningDay

Yes, because Liberal World doesn’t want the Real World to know what they really think.

Granted, not everyone agrees with the diarist, lurxst, as Blackfive points out. Of course, it mostly has to do with the above quote.

In case it disappears, Little Green Footballs has a screenshot too, with the full text.

Jules Crittenden has it, plus an unhinger who endorses the opinions of Osama (via Newsbusters)

The American Pundit has a few notes for lurxst.
