The Unsatisfied Mind

If one person reads this and learns about Jonah, my job is done

Fuck Jonah Goldberg. He is about as gutless a piece of shit as exists in the neo- con conservative movement.

Read. Write to him. What a puke. From Eschaton:

This is pretty unbelievable. Jonah's explanation for why he can't go fight bad guys in Iraq:

As for why my sorry a** isn't in the kill zone, lots of people think this is a searingly pertinent question. No answer I could give -- I'm 35 years old, my family couldn't afford the lost income, I have a baby daughter, my a** is, er, sorry, are a few -- ever seem to suffice.

Yes, that's right. Being 30something and having a wife and baby make you ineligible to go to Iraq.

Oh, wait, that's not actually true at all.

MASCOTTE, Fla. — Mourners remembered Spec. Eric Ulysses Ramirez as one of his unit’s most valuable soldiers in Iraq and as a Star Wars fan who lived to be a “Jedi in his time.”

Ramirez, 31, was killed while on patrol near a prison about 30 miles west of Baghdad before dawn Feb. 12 when his California National Guard unit was attacked by small arms, rocket-propelled grenades and homemade explosive devices, the U.S. Army said.


...

Ramirez’s widow, Tracy Benson-Ramirez, accepted three Gold Stars — one for herself and one each for her daughter, Isis, who turns 2 next week, and son, Chase, who was born in December.

Remember, Goldberg was one of the lead flag-carriers for the President and his false war. We need to DESTROY him.

And then Savage.

And then Limbaugh.

Go see Juan Cole and understand what education and study gets you when you are challenged by an imbicile. It gets you a massive mother-fucking bat to smack the gutless mouth-breathers into submission. One of my favorite quotes:

In the topsy-turvy world of the American conservative extremist, academics who invest years in training and study are despised as aristocratic elitists, while the man who failed at every business and had his presidency handed to him by virtue of his family connections is respected as an earthy man of the people. And a slug like Jonah Goldberg becomes a widely read ‘pundit’ by the good fortune of having a sleazy gossip-monger for a mother.
