"The Government is incompetent"
That's what the rightwingers say, and have said for years.
Any social programs they tear down and ridicule. They have zero intention of rehabilitating the government in these realms.
They are out to destroy it.

Yet when war is about to, and being made, they fly 3'x2' flags, on polls, in the backs of their trucks.
They plaster Bush/Cheney stickers all around their magnetic ribbons all the while telling us that we need to "trust" the President. That, "he has access to more information" than the rest of us.
It's as if they support(ed) this Iraq invasion as a way to break-up their boring TV life. You know...something exciting to do. Almost a psycho-sexual perversion if you will.

This is why they are warmongers.
Government societal based programs = BAD...Government war based programs = GOOD.
They love war...as long as it's "over there".

1. I say
"Bring it here." Let them see that War is not glorious, rebuilding your homes, burying your family, scraping by, etc. If they want war so badly, I hope someone has the guts to bring it to them. End the glorification. The effects of WWII are STILL present in some parts of Europe, and at the very least, still fresh in the community mind. If they want war, let them have it, and let them suffer the consequences of their actions.

Repukes will complain for HOURS on end about welfare, and social programs, even though military spending is costing us outrageously more than any other nation on earth.

2. And as long as someone else is doing the bleeding & dying.
They always have "other priorities". They are the biggest cheerleaders though, without fail. Invariably when someone explains military tactics and procedures to me, it is a republicon, and usually said republicon has zero days active duty in the military. Lack of expertise rarely impedes a con from explaining how something works...

3. Government isn't bad, it's the people running it!
It's kind of like were one lives. "It's not about the house it's who your neighbor's are"

7. yes...it sure seems that way
Why anyone thinks it's okay to have people who despise government, running our government, is mind-boggling to me.
