[Rhodes22-list] (political) response to Brad

[brad haslett]

Cheryl,

Frankly my dear, I don't give a rat's ass about Billy,
didn't in 1978 when I moved to Arkansas, and don't
now.  There are much bigger fish to fry. I don't
re-fight the Civil War either, but do study it and try
to learn its lessons.  The people we fight now don't
give a shit about your politics, gender, or religion. 
Whether Iraq was the best choice of battle field will
rank in history with Shilo.  What is important is
whether we win.  You can't support the troops and
oppose the war anymore than German citizens could have
opposed killing Jews but loved their Nazi soldiers. 
In the spirit of today's topic, "SHIT OR GET OFF THE
POT!"

Brad
