Dickens

Babble on.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."

Who to believe? The American soldier who has seen the situation on the ground with his own Mark I eyeballs, or the avowed Chimpy Bushitler-hating Mayor of Socialist-Utopiaville?

I know where I stand.

Babble off.

Update: I may have written this with one too many glasses of green wine last night (don't ask, it's a pretty pathetic St. Paddy's Day story). Timmy is a passionate advocate of his positions. While I believe he allows anti-Americanism (not simply anti-Bushism or anti-Republicanism) to creep into his monologues far too often, I also know that I have my own blind spots. I may disagree with him on this issue, but I can't fault him for being honest about his beliefs.

Of course, he's still a Greenpeace-funding, tofu-eating, picket-carrying, NO BLOOD FOR OIL! screaming, commie-pinko moonbat, so maybe he deserves what he gets. ;)

1 Comments:

At 11:38 a.m., Janie For Mayor said...: Anti-Americanism? Utter nonsense. We see through two different prisms, Damian. The fact that we can do so civilly (most of the time) is a credit to both of us.

So, for a shotgun-humping, gub'mint-hatin', union-busting, red-meat consuming, warmongering, red-ensign-draped slobbering wingnut, you're a-okay.:)

Profile:

I'm an Ontario redneck who hopes Alberta will invade and occupy Ontario sometime in the next week or so. I'm a proud Papa Bear to Boo and Mini-Boo. My wife Litlbit is sexy. I'm not very. I'm a small-c conservative. You want to know more, start reading the blog. Oh, I almost forgot. I believe most problems can be solved with weaponry of a high enough calibre.
