Quality of Steel

Huh.

Merry Christmas   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

from all of us to all of you.

Thank you for being an essential part of all that is successful here at National Review Online. We're grateful for your loyalty and support — and, of course, your clicks!

This morning we have foremost in our thoughts those who are not with us — those who are serving abroad so that we can celebrate in freedom and those who have left us, in our service, in His, through the natural but heart-wrenching cycles of life. For those who serve and for those who are in pain this Christmas, a special prayer. May God be your comfort and your hope.

Merry Christmas. And a bipartisan wish for, yes,  "peace on earth."

Yeah, well, fuck you.

The hard, cold, brutal fact is that not a single American man or woman under arms in Iraq ever, ever had to be there to preserve the ability of Americans to "celebrate in freedom." Whatever the fuck that means. You sent good people to die, and a million Iraqi souls are dead, for nothing but the most squalid of purposes.

Peace? Peace without truth?

The National Review has played a thoroughly pernicious role in modern American culture and nobody remotely connected with that den of swinish lying fools deserves anything other than scorn. Fuck you most sincerely in this holiday season, traitors.

Assholes.

No, no holiday truces. Fuck you.

And, of course, God, if he exists, also thinks you're a pack of smarmy little shits.

I think you missed a smallish mild hypocritical angle in your otherwise persuasive analysis .

[ran]

word. nothing could be more absurd than the notion that destroying third world countries that were never a threat to us has a goddamn thing to do with "protecting our freedom". but the sheeple it that bullshit up with a spoon.

[Richterscale]

...and a hapeeeee new year.

[anna]

yah...you *really* don't wanna know what I'd like to do to KLo et al, given half the chance and a dark alley. fucking dilettantes.

those who have left us, in our service

Hey, if it's good enough for jesus, it's good enough for anyone.

Nothing spells peace on earth like a little human sacrifice...

"And, of course, God, if he exists, also thinks you're a pack of smarmy little shits."

I think the fact that the entire staff of the National Review are not afflicted with boils, leprosy, syphilis, cholera, and mange is pretty solid proof of the noexistance of God.

[Halloween Jack]

"bipartisan"? Would that be from the Bugfuck Crazy Evangelical Party and the Old Money Party?

[steve simels]

Don't mince words, son. Tell us what you really think...

[markg]

Let me add my "fuck you" to your "fuck you."

Thers, you missed her point.

She's talking about the darkies who left to fight in Iraq and made America safer for bigots.

Seconding anna's huzzah.

Huzzah!

[skippybkroo]

[actor212]

No, skip, Pimpin' ain't easy.

So war is a natural cycle of life? How fucking convienient for her. Peace on earth my ass you despicable parasite.

Can't overlook the conflation of service to America and Jayzus. Because of course you know they're one and the same.

[mextremist]

Y que se vayan todos a chingar a su puta madre...

amen

[Leonard Pierce]

Who do you think the "His" is in "in His service"? I thought at first it was probably God, but now I wonder if it's Bush.

[dave™©]

So is there anyone on the staff of National Socialist Review who volunteered for duty in Iraq? Any one of their offspring? Any one they have a professional or personal relationship with?

And I'm not talking about their gardeners or housemaids.

[Grayhat]

Maybe you can add how stupid the military is -- emulating your recent failed presidential candidate -- given that a clear majority votes with the GOP against the party of hallucinations and weakness.

Are you perfectly sure they're not?

Fine. No God. Whatever. I'm sure next you're going to tell me there is no Santa.

[Twisted_Colour]

Hey Greyhat, I got 10 buck that says GOP will not receive a clear majority of military votes in November. You up for it?

[Thers]

Would that cheer you?

Fine, then. The opinions of individual members of the military notwithstanding, the US military presence in Iraq is irrelevant to the defense of American liberty.

Feel better?

[HairlessMonkeyDK]

Uh, actually a majority of military families are fed up with Bush and his failed invasion(s).
