Greetings from Red-state land!
Some of us here at Giveup spent the holiday in the deep, deep south. The local paper here is a bit regressive; a staple of the Op-Ed pages is "God, guns, and dogs". Two days ago, this little gem crossed the pages in a letter to the editor. Sadly, I don't have the whole thing to quote verbatim, and the AJC requires registration to log in, but it boiled down to this:

"I'm so tired of reading about the anti-war liberals saying 'we told you so'. If you guys were against the war in the first place, why didn't you say anything back then? Only now that it's going badly are you saying anything."

Why didn't we say anything back then? Are you f'ing kidding me? Has this guy spent the last three years with his hands over his ears yelling 'lalalalalala'?

Nah, most of them were too busy calling Vietnam and Korea veterans unpatriotic cowards from their couches. I mean, you can understand how they would miss a small whisper from the nay-sayers.
