Kurt Vonnegut - to think I used to like his writing

November 21, 2005

I was stunned and dismayed to read an interview of Kurt Vonnegut that quotes him as praising terrorists. I used to enjoy reading his books, although they went down hill after a while. I guess he somehow doesn’t remember he’s an American, we’ve been attacked by these scum, and we’re at war with them. How disappointing. I’ve come to think that if I like an entertainer for their entertainment, they’ll turn out to be some left wing kook who embarasses me by opening their mouth to do something other than entertain. The list is disgustingly long.

Sen. John McCain Remembers His Fellow Servicemen

Finally we hear from Senator John McCain. I wonder why he’s waited so long to speak out about the need to continue supporting our troops. I would have thought he’d have spoken out sooner, but perhaps he has his reasons.

Even the Times of London Criticizes the Arthrocrats

This opinion column by Gerard Baker in the Times of London hits the Arthrocrats right on the carapace for their selective memories.

The first part of his opinion piece mentions the “outrage” at the use of white phosphorous shells (WP or Willie Pete) in Falujah. He notes that most countries’ military units have used this legal round in virtually every war since it’s invention.

I think my favorite line in his column is, “I wait with resigned anticipation for the reports of shocking new evidence that the US has used “bullets” and “bombs” in its attacks on the enemy.”

Yes, we must fight this war in a “fair,” “just,” and “honorable” manner, and don’t forget to make sure we follow all the legal obligations we’re required to. Of course, the Islamofascists have their rules - win at all costs.
