Why, why, why?

Why.. do some Americans want us to lose to the terrorists? Blue Star Chronicles has reaction to a Jeff Gutfield piece over at HuffPo about "Patriotic Terrorists". Here's a tease:
Are you a patriotic terrorist?

If you are intensely critical of the US, while tolerating homicidal enemies who condemn everything you previously claimed you are for - human rights, voting rights, gay rights, women’s rights, porn - then you’re a patriotic terrorist
.

Why.. did our Memphis City Council ever think they could get away with passing a "12 and out" retirement rule for elected and appointed officials? Sure, they've since rescinded it (after word got out) but people like Gale Carson are now double-dipping under a loophole in that law. And why is the WMC-TV story on the story now gone?

Speaking of the local utility, why have all the private aluminum can recycling joints within a reasonable proximity of my house all disappeared? I'm talking about those that paid the going rate for scrap aluminum. That includes all the kiosks in shopping center parking lots that exchanged coins for cans. Gone.

The utility provides me a little box and wants me to gladly leave my scrap aluminum on the curb for them to confiscate under the guise of saving the environment. Meanwhile, they make a handsome profit, yet I'll be called greedy for complaining about it. Sounds like it's time for another property tax increase for you, buddy.


Why, why, why.

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries
are getting dead?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars,
but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw
a revolver at him?

Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that
something new to eat will have materialized?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a
shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right",
when it isn't all right. Why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid
idiot!" ?

We all know about the term chickenhawk, used to describe people who are for war but never served. Why aren't there "chickendoves"?

Comments Rick Moran:
To the anti-war crowd I say get off your asses and stand up for your convictions. If you seriously believe American democracy is in danger, don’t just sit like a bump on a log and pontificate about it; get up on you hind legs and fight.
In other words, folks who are against the war but refuse to protest. Both are equally stupid, aye, but we seem to be stuck on stupid in this country.
