What\u2019s fascinating is that the protests are coming, not from the utterly phony \u201canti-war\u201d Left (who have been absolutely docile to the God King\u2019s will since his inauguration), but from troops and their families who are being pushed to the breaking point by our reckless policies and the contempt Caesar shows them as they continue to suffer and bear the burden of this fat, dumb, and happy country.
