A BuzzFlash Reader Has an Idea on How to Stop the Iraq Attack Right Quick
BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY
by Linda Ward
God-fearing Christians and the right-wing of the republican party have consistently wrapped themselves in the American flag, intimated that dissent is unpatriotic, and controlled the media in calling for preemptive strikes. Well, it's time to make them demonstrate how strongly they believe in these ideologies. Let's insist the following receive the first call-up for duty on the front lines in the following order (NO EXCEPTIONS):
1. Any child or grandchild between the ages of 18 and 25 of current administration officials.
2. Any child or grandchild between the ages of 18 and 25 of members of Congress who voted "yes" on the war.
3. Any registered member of the republican party between the ages of 18 and 25.
4. Any student (male and female) between the ages of 18 and 25 attending one of the more than 160 Christian colleges and universities that have not taken a public stand against the war.
5. Members or employees between the ages of 18 and 25 of any tax-exempt religious organization that has not taken a public stand against the war.
6. Children and grandchildren of Board of Directors and employees between the ages of 18 and 25 of corporations who contributed only to the republican party during the last two election cycles.
7. Children and grandchildren of Board of Directors and employees between the ages of 18 and 25 of any corporation who has business interests in any "Axis of Evil" country or any country the administration has identified as a threat to the U.S.
8. Any child or grandchild between the ages of 18 and 25 of employees of any media organization that has not taken a public stand against the war.
You get the idea. I'm sure other Buzzers can enhance this list. We should begin sending these ideas to folks like Donahue, Begala, Carville and other "lie-bral" voices.
