Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

The willow is too close to the house.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

We are aware of all internet traditions.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

The National Guard is not Batman.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

The lights are all blinking red.

The Kids Aren’t Alright

This post is in: General Stupidity

FacebookTweetEmail

The kids are stupid, willfully ignorant, and unaware of any and all history. They believe propaganda and agitprop over reality (“No Blood for Oil” and “Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Bush- The Real Axis of Evil” are slogans used in the place of thinking), and believe that their own government is the root of all evil. The kids most certainly are not alright.

Worst of all, they are stupid.

    “stupid, willfully ignorant, and unaware of any and all history.”

    OK, if the war had started in 1938 the west would have lost quickly. Britain had just a handful of fighter planes, and had just started to mobilize an army for a war everyone knowledgeable knew was coming. Chamberlin bought England a year they desperately needed. Churchill knews this and always thought he got a raw deal by public opinion.

    “stupid, willfully ignorant, and unaware of any and all history.”

    In 1937 Roosevelt wanted to prepare for the war, but Republicans and Isolationists in congress threatetened to impeach, yes impeach him if he tried.

    In 1940, showing the hypocrisy Repubs are famous for, Repub candidate Wendell Wilkie claimed Roosevelt hadn’t done enough to prepare for the war.

    speaking of “willfully ignorant”, yesterday Hamas blew up–a tank. A tank with soldiers in it. Somehow you didn’t think this bombing worthy of mention.

    So you peace-at-all-costs kiddies are actually doing us all a favor right now, and simply delaying Saddam for a year until we are better prepared to invade?

    How noble of you. Thanks.
