Killing Ragheads for Jesus: American Sniper

[squeeze berry]

oh great , a commie opinion piece web site as a source

To which Chris might respond:
"There is no shortage of simpletons whose minds are warped by this belief system.

"We elected one of them, George W. Bush, as president.

"They populate the armed forces and the Christian right.

"They watch Fox News and believe it.

"They have little understanding or curiosity about the world outside their insular communities. They are proud of their ignorance and anti-intellectualism. They prefer drinking beer and watching football to reading a book.

"And when they get into power..."

Kyle isn't responsible for 1400 years of enslavement, rape, and murder that is the Muslim legacy, he is responsible for taking a stand against it.

Kyle is responsible for voluntarily participating in an illegal war, which makes all this hundred-plus kills into murders. He's a perfect example of the useful heroic idiot the rich have been using for centuries to profit from wars of aggression.

Poor progressive turds are worried about this support for such a movie. All that anti-war, anti-American crap just isn't sticking.

What's an Islamist apologist to do?

There is nothing "illegal" about any of our wars, you just don't like them because they do not support the progressive agenda is all.

By that standard. ..the American Civil War was illegal and a war of agaggression. Even though it freed millions of people.

Yep. They were certain that by year 6 of the Obama presidency they would've progressed us beyond all this......machoism uuuugh!!!!

Every single soldier who killed an Iraqi or who even participated in the enterprise was guilty of murder in a moral, religious, and spiritual sense.”

From your link:
"Here is a simple test to determine whether a soldier is a murderer or a hero. There are only fifteen questions and only one of two responses is possible so you should be able to keep track of your answers.

"1. A soldier from a country thousands of miles away travels to the United States and throws grenades at Americans. Hero or murderer?

"2. A soldier from a country thousands of miles away travels to the United States and incinerates Americans with a flamethrower. Hero or murderer?

"3. A soldier from a country thousands of miles away travels to the United States and blows up Americans with a land mine. Hero or murderer?

"4. A soldier from a country thousands of miles away travels to the United States and blasts Americans to kingdom come with a tank. Hero or murderer?

"5. A soldier from a country thousands of miles away travels to the United States and drops bombs on Americans. Hero or murderer?"

Hey Georgie if you hate America so much, why not move to Palestine and join the cause?

 

[georgephillip]

Hes a SEAL..and you cant be that without EARNING it. No affirmative action SEALS. No diversity concerns. No handouts. Its a brutal blind standard. You are either good enough...or not...and you'll have to prove it. They hate that.

Hes a white Christian male...obvious

Why do you hate Woody?
"The camera cuts to a church interior where a congregation of white Christians—blacks appear in this film as often as in a Woody Allen movie—are listening to a sermon about God’s plan for American Christians.

"The film’s title character, based on Chris Kyle, who would become the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history, will, it appears from the sermon, be called upon by God to use his 'gift' to kill evildoers."

Hey, Hawkie: I got nothing against America; it's the brain-dead simpletons who never met a war they didn't like who I would like to send abroad. When are you leaving?

If the United States became an evil slave state that massacred women and children and gays and was planning mass killings of innocent people....id hope some other country would stop us.

The Union did in 1861. Is General Sherman a hero or murderer? His war freed blacks. But invaded the sovereign Confederate States of America to do it.

Most churches are either all white or all black because blacks choose to segregate themselves in their own churches.

So? That mindset is what defeats violent enemies. Why would the warrior culture embrace anything else?

Sounds more like the mindset of a slave without the slightest concern for international law or morality. Anyone who participated in the US invasion/occupation of Iraq is a war criminal, to one degree or another.

obumble should have Chris Hedges and Michael Moore protecting him instead of those bad old snipers like Chris Kyle

 

[mudwhistle]

Chris Hedges has covered war zones from central America to Bosnia to Palestine, and Iraq for most of his life. His take on Chris Kyle isn't flattering:

"Kyle was given the nickname 'Legend.'

"He got a tattoo of a Crusader cross on his arm. 'I wanted everyone to know I was a Christian.

"I had it put in red, for blood.

"I hated the damn savages I’d been fighting,' he wrote. 'I always will.'

"Following a day of sniping, after killing perhaps as many as six people, he would go back to his barracks to spent his time smoking Cuban Romeo y Julieta No. 3 cigars and 'playing video games, watching porn and working out.'

"On leave, something omitted in the movie, he was frequently arrested for drunken bar fights. He dismissed politicians, hated the press and disdained superior officers, exalting only the comradeship of warriors.

"His memoir glorifies white, 'Christian' supremacy and war.

"It is an angry tirade directed against anyone who questions the military’s elite, professional killers."

Chris Kyle: American psychopath.

Be specific, what International law did we and our coalition violate? Then point out where in anyone in a position of authority is pressing the charge anywhere?

Warevangelism

"But there is nothing honorable or heroic about anything Chris Kyle did in Iraq. He defended no American’s freedoms. He didn’t fight “over there” so no American would have to fight “over here.” Soldiers who kill for the state in unjust wars are murderers, not heroes. As Future of Freedom Foundation president and Army veteran Jacob Hornberger recently wrote: “Since the U.S. government was the aggressor in the war on Iraq, that means that no U.S. soldier had the moral authority to kill even one single Iraqi. Every single soldier who killed an Iraqi or who even participated in the enterprise was guilty of murder in a moral, religious, and spiritual sense.”

.

Bull Shit.

Iraq was considered a just war by everyone. The only reason it became unjust is because the Democrats decided that they weren't gonna win another election in the near future unless they turned the public against the war.

 

[georgephillip]

They hate HIM more than they hate what his job was.

He's pitied more than hated, and that's entirely due to his arrogant defense of the white man's (christian) burden
"American Sniper lionizes the most despicable aspects of U.S. society—the gun culture, the blind adoration of the military, the belief that we have an innate right as a 'Christian' nation to exterminate the 'lesser breeds' of the earth, a grotesque hypermasculinity that banishes compassion and pity, a denial of inconvenient facts and historical truth, and a belittling of critical thinking and artistic expression.

"Many Americans, especially white Americans trapped in a stagnant economy and a dysfunctional political system, yearn for the supposed moral renewal and rigid, militarized control the movie venerates.

"These passions, if realized, will extinguish what is left of our now-anemic open society".

Hold on a second...

More than one post has mentioned Obama, what does President Obama have to do with an opinion piece written some guy most, if not all, of us have never heard of prior to the posting of his writing in this thread?

Sorry, but bringing Obama and his protection into the discussion, well, that's off base in my opinion...

There is a war I do not like. The Islamic war against Christians, Jews, Hindu, Buddhists, secularists, and anyone else who doesn't bow down and worship the false god of the pedophile prophet.

It's asswipes like you that want to let them continue their 1400 year reign of terror across the globe.

And by the way I am overseas doing my part in contributing in our war against Islamic savages.
