Short Brief

I'll be quick; new neighbors moved in next door. They're young Republicans and sporting a 'Support Bush and our Troops' sign or some such thing on their front lawn. Ok. Seems like bipolar causes, but I will try to resist the urge to walk over there and squirt lighter-fluid on their sign, and set it ablaze.

Maybe I'm just not thinking clearly, but I thought supporting the guy who cut military benfits, increased the likelihood of combat, and lengthened the duration of commitments by the soldiers was decidely anti-troops, if still considered pro-military.

Oh well, I'm sure it is just my liberal-bias silliness. Even though when I took a political poll I tested just to the right of dead center. Perhaps it was the poll that was inadequate, but when I finished and it called me a centrist; neither a liberal nor conservative, neither a Libertarian nor a supporter of big government, it sounded right to me.


An Update to this angry little blurb:
The day after George's vacation anaouncement I noticed the sign of support gone from the neighbors lawn. I can't decide whether their sign vanished (to their trash) due to the election being concluded (and therefore their support [i.e. use] of the troops has concluded.) or if they got one to many crooked glances from their neighbors for being pro-Bush.

It disgusts me that they wouldn't continue to show support for their troops especially considering they [10,000 American troops] are now (now that the silly nonsense of the forced re-election is behind us) being sent into a Fallujah offensive. But, we must remember, soldiers to these NeoCons are useful instruments, not friends or family.
