A Series of Unpopular Opinions.

1. I don't support the troops, and I don't intend on doing so in the near future. While I find it deeply disturbing that a nation so "in support" of their troops is willing to send them to the battlefield to die effectively for nothing, I don't see any reason why I should feel bad for them. If the conservatives are correct in believing that the armed forces are not disproportional minority soldiers, then I assume they have grown up in the same educational system I did. As I found war to be radically stupid in most cases, and especially any war lead by an insane administration, guided by the prescriptions of a ridiculous ideology like the current Iraq debacle, I feel no reason to assume that those who joined up didn't have the same opportunities. I say this with two brothers in the field, and having known a fellow youth grouper who died. Frankly, if you are willing to join an imperial and mercenary-style army, waging an unjust war against brown people in a sovereign nation and happen to be killed by some primitive weapon I feel bad for you, but mainly for your stupidity. No one, not a single person, should join the armed forces while any insane conservative is in charge.
2. Indeed, I think social welfare is more important than moral values. While I agree with many democrats who say we need to reclaim moral values (in fact I wrote a post on it far before the way, decrying conservatives as morally despicable), I do not believe that those values should be given a higher priority than the actual material conditions of a persons life.
3. Abortion is horribly violent, and yet I think pro-choice policies are going to help alleviate this violence. Granted they may allow for abortion in the first place, but they are also the same people trying to create a society that helps care for those whom pregnancy is hardest for.
4. George W. Bush is an asshole. I know that half the country won't agree with me, but if I can score higher than the mother fucker in college, he's an asshole for even running for president. As I don't believe I am able to be president, no one who is less intelligent than me should either and if they believe they have "what it takes" than they are simply assholes who need to have the shit beaten out of them. This should not be misconstrued by the Secret Service (S.S.) as a threat against the president. I am, after all, a passionate pacifist.
5. The world is not safer without Saddam Hussein in power. As the editor of the Marvel Comics would say, "'Nuff Said."
6. Evangelical Christians are really backwards. That's right. If you still think that homosexuality makes you unfit to be a parent, the world was created in seven days, and that praying for people is more effective than actually doing something for them, then you are extremely stupid. This is not a statement against their faith, as I don't believe most of them have anything resembling faith, but against their willful ignorance in the face of reality. I know that Andrew Sullivan would hate me for this, but until he can admit that he hates himself - fuck 'em.
7. It's good to end with a holy number and so I must end here. France is better than America. I've been there, and I must say that they are far more intelligent than the average American. Sure they are pussies, and speak some weird, backwards language - but, God damnit, they've earned it! If any conservatives have a problem with any of this, well, feel free to contact me and arrange a fight.
