Not much to see there yet, but this website <\/a>bears some watching to see if we can get any good humor out of them. The About Us section doesn’t have much:<\/p>\n

Over the last nine years, peace workers in the lower Hudson Valley have gone to West Point to call for an end to the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. An ad hoc group of us want to go beyond what can be said on banners and placards, using this website to raise basic questions for cadets and educators, provide news and analysis and stimulate debate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For myself, I can not wait to hear what they have to say. Right now you get a meager faire of asinine questions like:<\/p>\n

Question for West Point cadets and educators:<\/p>\n

Is it consistent with international law, human rights, common decency and the good order and morale of the military to send US forces to secure resources in other countries?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Go ahead, try to answer that question. Only…..I thought those decisions were made by our civilian leadership? Aren’t they the ones who are supposed to address those issues? I only bring this up because I know the dirty hippies will answer with some long ridiculous answer citing to the Nuremberg trials, all the while forgetting that the same dirty hippies were mad last week at Stan the Man for taking it upon himself to have an opinion. Now they want the cadets to take in mind common decency when factoring in whether to go where they contractually are obligated to go.<\/p>\n

So far this website has only three links. One to some bullshit Marjorie Cohn, formerly of the National Lawyers Guild, wrote bashing Obama. I had the sorry displeasure of reading her shittastic Rules of Disengagement: The Politics and Honor of Military Dissent. My review on Amazon was this:<\/p>\n

Vigorously fact-checked by a pride of glue-sniffing marmosets with a Ouija board, Rules of Disengagement is a useless compendium of all the debunked canards from the last 7 years. I wish that instead of spending the $14.95 on this piece of crap I had simply replicated the experience of reading it by giving myself a scrotal laceration and then dipping it in turpentine and lemon juice. The legal reasoning behind this book it is roughly as logical as eating an omelet made of pigeon droppings. <\/p>\n

Majorie Cohn has gotten every one of her clients that I can find the worst possible judgment. You are better off getting legal advice from a hobo on a train. <\/p>\n

If you are a troop who wants to get out, do it without this bufoon who is more interested in making political points than aiding clients. Seriously, it is easy to get out, but not with her driving the clown car. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Next up we have a piece by Bob Herbert of the NYT who hasn’t written a sensible word in 20 years.<\/p>\n

Lastly we get a link to a video by PBS between Bill Moyers and Andrew Bacevich. The latter is a Gold Star Dad, so I won’t speak ill of the man, but he might have a bit more emotional investment than one might deem proper. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I for one love these dirty hippie sites, since I think their sense of humor is second to none.<\/p>\n

BTW- Thanks to our friend Greta Perry of Hooah Wife <\/a>for forwarding that little bit of insanity.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Oh for the love of Spongebob….look at who is involved in this crap, Tom Hayden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You know, former husband of Jane Fonda and founder of SDS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
