“The US must lead the coalition/NATO/UN against BUCKTOOTHISTAN led by the evil HITLER with ties to Al Queda. We will hold elections to prove that 99.99% of the people back us up. The other 0.01% are dead-enders/insurgents/TERRORISTS whom we will defeat with the surge/pacification/winning-hearts-and-minds. The elected government, while corrupt, just needs training/aid/encouragement to achieve stability. Although the war winds up expanding into and destabilizing neighboring PASTRAMI, this shows that the strategy is WORKING and we cannot leave because it: questions-our-credibility/means-our-troops-have-died-in-vein/THEY-endanger-our-freedoms. Although we have won every battle and have victory, if we leave, it will all fall apart so we can never leave. And our elites back THE TROOPS (e.g. the redneck and minority kids whom the elites would not give the time of day to back home) who are brave against the COWARDS who fight foreign invaders with spears/suicide-backpacks/grenades …”

Now here is the peace-loving USA:

OK – some are just “threats” which probably shouldn’t count – but whether it is 30 or 50 interventions in the last 50 years, it is a lot. And this is not border disputes with Canada. It would be like China invading Portugal or the Russians bombing Argentina. It is too many for me to count. Panama, Yemen, Somalia, … all existential threats to Joe the Plumber.

How does this make us the “land of the free”? And when the President rubs out someone on or sends drones to knock out people on his say so, we are told it is none of our business (other than to pay for it and cheer!). Even more absurdly, many of Obama’s “liberal” supporters oppose the death penalty for heinous domestic criminals after extensive due process and appeals through an adversarial judicial system as “cruel and unusual” but cheer the death penalty if the Messiah deems it by his whim alone.
