Pithy Pity
August 18th, 2007Woke up this morning and the sun was gone. Not just because the White House is cutting back troop levels in Iraq in an effort to win the war. First of all, the war is unwinnable now and that is a direct result of the President’s refusal to commit from the start, but if we’re going to try and win anyway, the only way to do it is with an increase in soldiers. We’ve been trying the less is more approach for years and that has been proven foolish time and time again.
The other cause of darkness is “>this: the news that Virginia’s ad campaign, “Virginia is for Lovers” will be changed to eliminate images of people making hearts across their chests with their hands. Why? Because that’s a gang sign in Virginia as well. First of all, any gang that represents itself with a heart lacks credibility instantly. Second, who on Earth is going to watch those advertisements and say, “Hey, he’s fronting, yo”? I can’t fathom it. And third, this is simply politically correct nonsense, and it compromises the integrity of the state.
It’s funny what we’ll cut and run from and what we won’t.
