Alec Baldwin is so sweet

Over at the Huff', he wrote an awe inspiring piece for our troops on Thanksgiving.

I know it sounds corny, but this Thanksgiving, I want to remember the troops in Iraq. And around the world, for that matter. These are men and women who have answered a call and sacrificed for their country, even in the worst of political times. This is a war with an overwhelmingly dubious provenance.

Perhaps I misread you, Alec. You do care about our troops, don't you.

Launched by a corrupt leadership that has perverted our democracy at home and disgraced our country around the world. And yet, a substantial number of brave men and women have signed up, for whatever reasons, to defend us.

Whoops. Spoke too soon. In the middle of calling them brave, he calls them stupid. How nice.

There will be other wars, right and wrong, in our future. We owe thanks to those who serve, even though we would all be better off if they came home.

Alec, wars are better fought on foreign soil, then again, maybe you thought Germany post-WWII was rather appealing. Unless you want them to return home and just close up shop, meaning lock up the borders and basically tell the rest of the world to deal with the terrorists, then this war needs to be fought.

I know, attacking Alec's blindness is about as easy as it comes, but I love the guy so much, I have to do it.

What cracks me up the most is all the pony-tailed fuck heads that responded to his three paragraph, "Happy Thanksgiving, you dumb shits," post, by saying, "you are so right Alec, thank you men and women over seas." I guess supporting the troops is too much to ask for. Simply saying thanks, but not meaning it, is good enough.

They truly believe that getting our troops home is what is best for our country. Wrong. Those same people supported this war, and the connected wars not too long ago. In fact, Clinton while in office said to America that Iraq needed to be dealt with. All that has been forgotten because now that Republicans are in office, supporting them, even for a second, and for the betterment of our country, means they lose power.

In today's DN, there was an article about death-to-America clan protesting out on O street. Lucky me, I have to walk past these guys every day they are out. "Honk for Peace" signs all over the place, as if it was that easy. Let me toot my horn and all of a sudden everyone will join hands.

But I bring this up because this quote made me laugh:

(Alex Stamm) helped plan the event and invited students based on their political views they listed on Facebook.

So, they wanted to preach to the choir. I might have been interested in seeing how off base this movie was. I didn't get an invite. Actually, I don't list my political preferences because I don't want to turn away any of those hot hippie chicks I like so much.

They may have accomplished more if they had invited the young republicans. It would have been one hell of a story about all the hoyty-twoyty republicans up in arms over the movie.

One of the first times I walked past this group I said something really clever, but damn it, I can't remember what it was. Do yourself a favor and laugh at whatever it was.

Ok, now go back and read Baldy's first five words and tell me if you really think he meant what he said, or if he chose to use the soldiers to better his own agenda. Well, at least he nearly got through one paragraph.
