And, of course, the American flag should be burned, trampled, despoiled, desecrated and in all other ways treated to the humiliation due the symbol of the evil nation being protested. So what?s with these wacky conservatives and their amateur attempt at gathering a couple of million people to march on the Capitol? They?re going about it all wrong. They?re wearing and waving the American flag as if they?re proud of it, and they?re spouting incredibly foolish notions that have absolutely nothing to do with America being evil or America murdering people. They?re also not excoriating Israel. Here are just a few examples of these neophyte activists who seem to have absolutely no appreciation for the fact that the purpose behind a march on D.C. is to let everyone know how evil America is but. . . . I watched this short video that I found at Michelle Malkin?s site: As I watched this video, I had this very weird feeling that something was deeply, deeply wrong with this protest. It looks wrong. I?m a child of the Vietnam era, and I?ve managed to keep my eye on the news ? and the protests ? for the 40 years since those Vietnam era protests. I know exactly what they?re supposed to look like. They?re supposed to be heavy with references to blood, whether in words, photographs or paint splatters Heck, as far as the Truthers are concerned, even the 9/11 victims were killed by Americans. The look of the protest is wrong too. People should be dressed in dark clothing and have grotesque masks on, symbolic of America?s torture and rapine. Regardless of the march?s ostensible purpose, there should always be at least a sprinkling of signs likening Jews and Israeli to the Nazis and demanding the Jews? imminent return to the gas chambers. Healthcare:War - the costsclipped by: beanzObama Touts the Money Well Save with Health Reforms, While We Quietly Spend Billions on Bushs Wars The word "Afghanistan" was only uttered once, when Obama pointed out that the cost of health care over the next 10 years would fall short of the total spent by the United States thus far on its two wars. The subtlety, though, is deceptive. Yes, health care will only cost $900 billion over the next 10 years. But thanks to Obamas decidedly hawkish stance on Afghanistan -- a war nearing its eighth year and conjuring comparisons to Vietnam -- the United States stands to foot a serious bill abroad. According to the Center for Defense Information, the total cost of the war in Afghanistan will reach $439.8 billion by the end of 2009. It should come as no surprise that the U.S.s most staunchly militaristic neoconservatives, including Karl Rove and William Kristol, have voiced their support for Obamas policy. Tags: healthcare Money spent on war vs cost of health care reformsclipped by: JackieDelclippers remarks: According to the Center for Defense Information, the total cost of the war in Afghanistan will reach $439.8 billion by the end of 2009. The United States, which spent exactly 10 times more on Afghanistan in 2008 ($140 billion) than it spent in 2002 ($14 billion), increased such efforts by $33 billion in just the last year. Obamas escalation, largely overshadowed by the health reforms incendiary spectacle, has been swift and significant. Its also showing no signs of slowing down. On Thursday, a Senate subcommittee approved 2010s $636.3 billion defense appropriations bill. Of this, $128.2 billion has been set aside for "overseas contingency operations." Simple multiplication tells us that the cost of maintaining this rate of defense spending for the next decade would eventually make Afghanistan $300 billion more expensive than the health care overhauls projected cost. And thats just dollars and cents... In Wednesdays speech, Obama did his best to bounce between bipartisanship and big-stick politics. He called out the rights "demagoguery and distortion," only after first mentioning his "Republican friends." He sprinkled assurances of cost-cutting into a critique of the previous administrations fiscal policy. His words about the public option -- easily one of the health care debates most ferociously contested issues -- were essentially sanded down and smoothed out, docile. "The public option is only a means to that end," Obama said. "And we should remain open to other ideas that accomplish our ultimate goal." Obama pointed out that the cost of health care over the next 10 years would fall short of the total spent by the United States thus far on its two wars. thanks to Obamas decidedly hawkish stance on Afghanistan -- a war nearing its eighth year and conjuring comparisons to Vietnam -- the United States stands to foot a serious bill abroad.
