Beverly Hills is filled with liberal celebrities - do you really think they would join the armed forces?

BEVERLY HILLS IS FULL OF LIBERALS!!! What part of that don't you understand?

Also, it appears that you were against going into Afghanistan - I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that.

Freewayblogger said...

Same reason you were against going into Afghanistan... and Dick Cheney was against going into Vietnam: I had other priorities.

My question is were you against the US going into Afghanistan?

Freewayblogger said...

Was I for the US going into Afghanistan? After 9-11? Are you fucking kidding me? OF COURSE I was for the US going into Afghanistan... To Get OSAMA FUCKING BIN LADEN! In fact, on March 14th 2002 I had an appointment with my local Marine Recruiter, as I'm sure you did too, but then like me, you probably heard the President of the United States say THIS about Osama Bin Laden on March 12: "I'm truly am not that concerned about him."

And then at that point, hearing that the President of the United States wasn't that concerned about the man who killed three thousand of our citizens just months before I thought to myself well fuck him, fuck this war and fuck all you goddam pussy-ass
Republican motherfuckers who would even put up with such a stone cold coward jackass for one goddam day longer. And seriously, fuck you for voting for him in the first place. You might not realize this, but World Opinion Matters, and when you stupid redneck racist fucks keep running candidates straight out of Hazzard Fucking County, it starts to make the rest of us look bad, got that? Jesus, back in the eighties it was fucking Nicaragua. Thanks to you gullible knuckledragging idiots, We came across as a superpower that was AFRAID of the THIRD POOREST FUCKING COUNTRY IN THE HEMISPHERE! And see, the problem with that is it makes us ALL look like a bunch of idiot cowards, when in fact it's just a few pants-pissing assholes like YOU. So seriously, quit it.

In an unrelated note, are you looking forward to Dancing With the Stars? All of my friends laugh at me, but I honestly watch the show religiously and have been doing so for the past 2 years or so! Check it out if you don't already! I'm serious!

I know... I know... Sometimes love for country tends to inspire ranting and ill-will against the poor dumb scared fucks like you who're so easily convinced that the Vietnamese, or the Nicaraguans, or the Islamofacists or whatever are gonna be the next "threat" to take over the America unless you fork over your kids and half the treasury... well, sometimes it just gets me down, that's all.

Promise me this though, when they tell you the fucking Eskimos are gonna come down here and take over, could you do me the goddam favor of NOT believing it? Okay? Just once? It's bad enough that you've carried on as if Vietnamese and Nicaraguans scare the crap out of you, but could you please draw the goddam line at the Eskimos?

Thanks.

That's funny you should mention "Dancing with the Stars". Just yesterday I was reading Longmore's biography of George Washington and was particularly moved by his words to the troops at Valley Forge: "Though our sacrifice will doubtless be great, every draught and drop of blood we spill shall not be in vain so long as our descendants shall be free to watch rich people dancing on TV. It is this, and nothing less, for which we struggle."

Carry on, brave patriot, and rest assured that nobody is laughing at you.

Honest question - weren't you past the age of eligibility for the military in 2002?

Freewayblogger said...

Technically yes, however, thanks to George W. Bush, practically any moody loner with a gun can represent us as a mercenary, regardless of age or mental capacity: one of the many whacky perqs of privatization. As it happens, my previous work in the sales and marketing of landmines and cluster munitions has afforded me a lot of capital, both political and otherwise with several of our finest mercenary groups. If you're interested in joining the good fight against Islamofascism, age is no longer a barrier. Let me know and I'll make sure you get an interview. Remember, working as a merc you'll make up to ten times what the troops do, with far less exposure to danger and better benefits all around. Gotta love that, eh?

Anonymous said...

What do you mean "technically yes"? I believe at that time it was around 35.

Freewayblogger said...

One of many things you've got wrong.

Anonymous said...

I don't believe so... they have since raised it, but it was around mid-30's I'm sure of that.

Anonymous said...

So, what was the age limit when you had your appointment? I honestly think you were too old at the time.

Anonymous said...

I'm starting to think that you really didn't have an appointment as you stated above...

Freewayblogger said...

Re read the "technically yes" post and you'll realize it's a moot point. Otherwise you'll simply have to rely on my biographers.

You said "In fact, on March 14th 2002 I had an appointment with my local Marine Recruiter".

Did you or did you not have an appointment with your local Marine recruiter back in 2002? And, if you were too old to join the forces, why did you have the appointment to begin with?

Freewayblogger said...

Alright, let's try and clear this up once and for all so you can get back to trying to start a life: On March 14th 2002 I had an appointment with someone we'll call "K" (literary allusion)who is in fact a Marine recruiter as well as a recruiter for Triple Canopy (which, as you can imagine, provides a much heftier finder's fee and bonuses.) As an essentially mercenary outfit, Triple Canopy has a much more lenient standard than the U.S. military when it comes to things like age cut-offs, mental and moral standards etc. etc. All of this has been outlined above, as you've now twice been reminded, and should put an end to your pedantic harping.As previously mentioned, my work in the sales and marketing of landmines and cluster munitions in the eighties has already placed me in good standing with the good people of Triple Canopy and my decision to go through "K" was purely for his fiduciary benefit. He is not only a good friend but also a comrade in arms with whom I proudly served as a ranch guard in Rhodesia before the fall.

As mentioned before, my decision to re-up through paramilitary assignment was, however, rudely aborted when George W. Bush stated in his press conference on March 12th that he no longer gave a flying fuck about Osama Bin Laden, the man responsible for the deaths of 3,000 U.S. citizens six short months beforehand. This served as a painful reminder to me and many of us what a bunch of pathetic cowardly losers we had allowed into office and, as also outlined above, what a snivelling and pestilential lot people like you were for continuing to support him in light of his borderline treasonous disregard for the true malefactors behind 9/11. Y'all still seem to be awful quiet about that by the way... have you forgotten?

Anonymous said...

btw: Bush was referring to the THREAT of Bin Laden, which you obviously know but conveniently ignore. Nice job, buddy.

Oh, and everyone KNOWS you had no intention on fighting - you're a blowhard narcissist, as well as a giant pussy.

Freewayblogger said...

So I can just mark you down in the "doesn't give a shit about the guy who killed 3,000 Americans in 2001" column as well: great to have you on our side Tiger.

Your conviction that I'm some kind of pussy at least explains your fascination with me: try dating instead.

And rest assured that the subject of my narcissism will be amply covered in my memoirs.

Listen up you moron! The war on terror is more than ONE man! I would LOVE to get bin laden, but this isn't a fucking law enforcement situation like you idiots think it is! So - we get bin laden.. THEN WHAT?!?!? All is better in the world? NO, YOU FUCKING MORON! It's a clash of ideologies that won't end if we get bin laden. THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE NUMBER ONE GOAL YOU FUCKING IDIOT! The fantastic thing is that BIN LADEN HAS BEEN EITHER KILLED OR COMPLETELY NEUTRALIZED!!! HE IS COMPLETELY IMPOTENT WHICH IS A HUGE DEAL!!!! OF COURSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET HIM, BUT IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO PREVENT HIM FROM ORCHESTRATING MORE ATTACKS!!!!

Freewayblogger said...

You'd think that the one thing pig-ignorant war-mongering armchair cowards like yourself would get right was blood vengeance, but no... you couldn't even get that right. Yeah buddy, we "Completely Neutralized" Bin Laden. One sentence later it's "important to prevent him from orchestrating more attacks." Jesus Fucking Christ, it's a damn good thing the Nicaraguans don't decide to take over this country... with y'all as our major defenders they'd probably run through us like a hot knife through butter 'cuz you'd all be sitting around in El Salvador with your thumbs up your asses.

You're right about the war on terror being about more than one man though... maybe it was once - one or a handful - but now thanks to y'all, we've got something like Three Billion Enemies, working on Six Billion. This wouldn't be so bad if you guys fought, but you don't. Enlistment levels are at all time record lows now, and justifiably so. Only Republicans could take the greatest superpower in the world and in six years turn it into the biggest geopolitical laughingstock since the Dawn of Time. Thanks.

Your silence on this issue speaks volumes. Everyone knows you lied.
