A friend of mine tonight sent me a funny “Letter to the Terrorists” all about how we’re pleased to accept their challenge to a game of whoopass.

It might be funny but for one thing.

It shows that our troops really did fight for oil, and nothing more. They didn’t fight for freedom of speech. They didn’t fight for differences of opinion. They didn’t fight for the old American way of healthy debate.

The “letter” volunteers ex-movie stars to play on the terrorists team. Why? Because they disagreed with a few hundred million rednecks who don’t believe in the United States Constitution.

They offered that the Dixie Chicks could sing “the bad guys” national anthem for them. Why? Because they spoke some words about what they believed. Now they’re not only losing a little bit in record sales, but they’re receiving DEATH THREATS.

Why? Because a few hundred million rednecks who don’t ever stop to think, are “just following orders.” Kinda like some people back in the ’30s and ’40s in another part of the world.

The United States I believe in had a Constitution. You can still read this historical relic online.

The United States I believe in had a Bill of Rights. You can still read these ancient nonsense words online.

Pay special attention to the joke they used to call the First Amendment, especially that funky “freedom of speech” clause.

In fact, if you print out enough copies of it, you could use the paper to start the fire when The Mob That Used To Be The United States burns the Dixie Chicks at the stake.
