Apparently George Bush, Hilary Clinton, and the Queen are all shape-shifting reptilian alien Illuminatis sent from the constellation Draco to enslave our world.
I’m serious, David Icke said so.
This beats out Scientology in the “Sounds Like a B-Movie Plot” department.
This was written in response to this post, but I felt it would be a good idea to share it on my blog as well. (It’s also nice in case the blog author over there doesn’t put my comment up; it happens.)
Just face it the anti-war effort FAILED and the country will be better off.
The country will be better off fighting a war of attrition in a country that has little value to us? Right…
If there is going to be an end to this war, when will it be? Five years? 10? We’ve been at it for almost five already. And what is there to show for it? A weak and useless native government that’s only now allowing Ba’ath Party members back in? An infrastructure plagued by insurgents who weren’t there before we invaded? 4000 dead American soldiers?
When something you do isn’t going properly, you change your approach. No rational person can say that our mission in Iraq is going the way it should. Why did we even go in? Ostensibly, it was to find WMDs. Failed at than, so we decided to free Iraq from Saddam. That was a mix of success and failure. Indeed, we deposed him and ended his regime. On the other hand, we threw the entire country into anarchy by completely dismantling the government. Now there is an elected government run by Iraqis. What more is there to do? They need to learn to run and protect their own country, and they can’t do that if American soldiers have to do the dirty work.
The anti-war movement failed because the American people are idiots. They want victory in a war that has no clear objective. They want to defeat an enemy that is as formless as an idea. Hell, sometimes I wonder if they even know what they want. And Congress…well, it hasn’t been useful since the midterm elections. Face it: there is no easy way to end this war. Either we stay in forever, or we are forced to pull out. It’s Vietnam all over again.
Google says I’m #1 for the search “alex jones crazy ideas“. Oh yeah.
Michael Crook, the troll to beat all trolls. You may have heard of his use of Craigslist to out people seeking sex. Or you may have stumbled across his rather ill-informed blog, where he goes on about how he revels in the deaths of American soldiers, among other things. Typical lifeless blogger stuff.
Normally, this wouldn’t warrant much attention at all, aside from the occasional snide comment you might wish to make on his blog just to see if he gets all pissy at you. Unfortunately, conservative bloggers like to reference him as evidence of the evil that is liberalism. They aren’t intelligent enough to grasp the idea that there are liberals and then there are crazy liberals. Crook falls squarely into the latter camp. He’s like the Alex Jones, only more inane. At least Alex Jones backs up his crackpot theories with fake evidence. Crook just rants about something and deletes all the comments people make about it. I mean, what other reason could there be that few of his articles have comments?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it yet again: don’t judge an entire group of people based on the crazy fringe members of that group. This applies in religion, politics, and even social cliques. Not all geeks play Dungeons and Dragons and are obsessed with Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini; remember that now.
It’s ironic that the ACLU would probably defend pathetic attempts like this to get rid of it.
