[Ghoulish Delight]

Pat Tillman was no more the bafoon who deserved what he got that a few loud mouth meaningless twits with no baring on anything important said he was than the infallible hero that the liars in charge who have direct control over thousands of people's lives led people to believe.

He was a soldier who died. One of several thousand. No better or worse.

And I RARELY go this route, but damnit, The Conservatives started it. They started it by deeming anyone who DARED to say anything against the war as unpatriotic. They started it by cannonizing all soldiers for simply doing what they are trained and paid to do. They started it by demeaning every other soldier's sacrifice as they shouted the glories of Pat Tillman. And worst of all, they started it by telling a bald face lie to our faces and, most importantly to the faces of Tillman's family.

The official voice of this country is extremist, deluded, hypocritical, and arrogant. So yeah, you're gonna get backlash of equal callibur. So what? Those nut jobs don't matter. I can ignore them. I'm not given the choice to ignore the regime, er, administration or ignore the decissions of our military. Nor is the rest of the world.

So fine, you want acknowledgement that what's in those message boards and blogs is a bunch of nutjobs? Yep, they sure are. But who cares?
