When stout-hearted men can stick togeth...wait...can I start again?

Every now and then, when I'm feeling down in the dumps, I like to scour the internet for stupid people saying stupid things. Today, I give you Janet LaRue. Now I hear you ask: "Who is she?" The answer, of course, is "who fucking cares?" All you need to know is she's getting paid by somebody to write really stupid shit. Let's go to the tape....

President George W. Bush released his 2008 budget on Monday, cashing in at
$2.9 trillion dollars. It includes $481 billion for defense costs, plus another
$142 billion to fight the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There's another $313.4
million for the U.S. Department of Justice "to address violence against
children, including sexual exploitation through the Internet," according to the
White House Office of Management and Budget. More on that in Part II.
Our troops and their families who are sacrificing themselves to save us from
annihilation need and deserve all the moral support we can give them and all of
the resources our national budget can bear. For that reason, government
officials must make sure that none of our limited resources is spent in ways
that harms rather than helps our troops and their families.


Pretty standard right-wing boilerplate, right? First she lulls you into a false sense of security and then...WHANGO!


Many continue to cite abuses at the Abu Ghraib military prison in Iraq as an excuse to oppose the war. Certainly, the abuses at Abu Ghraib must not be repeated. But that requires a lot more than re-training guards and interrogators.
Much of what is depicted in the 279 photos and 19 videos taken at Abu Ghraib resembles behavior in hard-core pornography, which is readily available to our troops via the Internet, magazines and DVDs.

...

The Department of Defense (DOD) cannot effectively protect our military from
pornography and its copious adverse consequences by banning porn only in Muslim
countries. The DOD needs to understand why the troops at home are ordering the
"sexual purity kits" - they need homeland security from pornographers.

Yup. The problem with the troops in Iraq is that they can't stop beating off.
