This *-lovin' family has a cut-out pic of soldier in family pic. Weird.

Why is there a cut out picture of this little soldier?

The Johnson family
Warren and Linda Johnson have three sons: Matthew (24), Clayton (18) and David (15). They are Bush supporters who have lived in the president's home town - Crawford, Texas - for nine years. Warren is the director of the McGregor Centre for the McLennan Community College; Linda is the associate director for academic advising at Baylor University, Waco, TX


These people are in education, and support king george/ That makes no logical sense.

2. Unwilling to sacrifice an actual child for the war effort, they are
more than happy to contribute the cardboard soldier. :patriot:

6. I just saw the # 3 and saw three kids,... but still, it's weird.
Most people hold a pic of their child. These people have a cardboard cutout? And it looks like a lego figure.

I still stand by the opinion that, representing a kid or not, it's kind of dorky! :)

10. HEY!!!
How come Clayton and Matthew aren't in Iraq, supporting George W. Fuckface?

Some supporters they are.

"... in education..." Have you checked what our schools are turning out these days?

Never believe that educators are any more enlightened that the average citizen, because, sadly, so many of them are less than average.

Like these dimwits.

13. Wait a minute...
You actually expected them to go into the war theatre to back all that treacle of supporting their hero type idol?:sarcasm: That's why they have the cut out soldier for that, I'll have you know. I mean that red blood is simply too precious to spill on the heroic and epic marshall endeavour, especially when it can better be put to the task of turning out yet more anti minority, misogynistic, anti-choice, christofascistic automatons. The fundie psychopaths have reserved that particular honour for the poor inner city DEMOCRATIC folks, often those with permanent tans, don't you know). They have so little to contribute other than their lives, body parts and minds. As with Katrina on the Gulf Coast, this will serve a double purpose of whiteni, er umm, providing those people with opportunities for education, (assuming they survive and return with a somewhat intact mind), while allowing them to be able to "improve their lot in life". You don't necessarily need arms, legs, eyes and an intact mind to accomplish that. I would advise you to consider their republican leadership. Remember what the glorious veep said what his reason for no serving, he was gracious enough to step aside for allow some other poor shmuck have the wonderful opportunities. That's the Christian thing to do, don't you know...:eyes:

12. Sure, they're in education...
in TEXAS. Last I checked, Texas wasn't exactly a bastion of education that the rest of the country should aspire to.
