Shut up and act
I’m feeling ill, and so will you if you read this garbage. It’s an “open letter” from Sean Penn to the Bush administration, presented at Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s March 24 town hall meeting. I’ll make it easier on your stomach and just give you the Cliff Notes:
You have broken our country and our hearts. The needless blood on your hands, and therefore, on our own, is drowning the freedom, the security, and the dream that America might have been..…But now, we are encouraged to self-censor any words that might be perceived as inflammatory - if our belief is that this war should stop today. We cower as you point fingers telling us to “support our troops.” Well, you and the smarmy pundits in your pocket, those who bathe in the moisture of your soiled and bloodstained underwear, can take that noise and shove it. We will be snowed no more.
Ouch! I might be considered one of those “smarmy pundits”. I’m not sure about the part about bathing in the “moisture of your soiled and bloodstained underwear” though - that sounds kind of icky!
Let’s make this crystal clear. We do support our troops in our stand, while you exploit them and their families. The verdict is in. You lied, connived, and exploited your own countrymen and most of all, our troops.
Sure you support us, just like these ass-wipes in Portland.
And I got a question for your daughters Mr. Bush. They’re not children anymore. Do they support your policy in Iraq? If they do, how dare they not be in uniform, while the children of the poor; black, white, Asian, Hispanic, and all the other American working men and women are slaughtered, maimed and flown back into this country under cover of darkness.
Oh God, not this line of bull again. Seriously liberals, that line is totally played out.
Ladies and Gentlemen, as a soldier, I don’t expect every 18-39 year-old person who supports the war effort to sign up to fight. I also don’t expect the adult children of older citizens who support the war effort to sign them up to fight. Being a soldier/sailor/marine/airman/coast guardsman is a calling. You either want to do it as a career choice or you don’t. I respect you if you do, and I respect you if you don’t. You can support the war effort without putting on a uniform.
