The American Conservative<\/em> (which actually seems to represent \u201cconservatism\u201d rather than the Thing that Used to be Conservatism) offers the Only Chart That Matters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Conservative Blog for Peace <\/a>offers a nice little summary of how \u201cconservative\u201d Christians became war zealots and why it is, alas, now mysterious to Christians\u00a0how somebody can think that the main way to support the troops is to not perpetually send them off to be maimed, killed, and their families subjected to intensely destructive stress merely so that our Ruling Class can bring salvation through Leviathan by any means necessary to people who want us off their soil and we can feel good about ourselves as exporters of democracy, whiskey, and abortion to people who want to use their newfound freedom to be harsher with Christians than their previous masters permitted.<\/p>\n

Our troops are flesh and blood.\u00a0 They are being subjected to stresses that nobody can endure forever and they have performed heroically while the traitorous swine in our Ruling Class do this<\/a>.\u00a0 And if you think anything will change when Rmoney wins\u2026<\/p>\n

Support our Troops.\u00a0 Bring them home.<\/p>\n
