The Chicken-Poo Reflex...

The Chicken-Poo Reflex...

People in this country used to have courage - they used to have intestinal fortitude.

– The United States faced down the Soviet Union, which had millions of men and many thousands of nuclear weapons without cringing or flinching.

– The United States faced down Adolph Hitler’s Axis Powers and Japan who also had millions of men and millions of weapons systems.

In neither case did our parents or grandparents poo their pajamas every time someone with a turban showed up. They certainly did NOT allow the government, federal or otherwise, to run their rights over roughshod in return for being able to pull the orange alert, no-fly list, national ID creating, warrantless searching, optional war starting, Anti-Patriot Act signing, torture approving, detention without trial or counsel approving CHICKEN-POO-covered blankets over their heads.

We have become the sniveling, groveling, whining, shivering in our boots cowards whose only response to a few wackos is to pull the Chicken-Poo reflex and cover their heads so they don’t see what Washington is selling them while they rape defense contracts, countries, and constitutional protections eight ways from Sunday. Next thing you know, they are going to add an extra day to each week so they can rake in an extra four days worth of damage a month while you are all rooting for your favorite "team" and smelling the CHICKEN-POO on the blanket you’ve covered your heads with .

America, can you get your guts back, or have they already been flushed down the toilet? This stuff should be beneath us.
