The Company You Keep
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Everybody who works for President Obama must echo the party line, from the Vice-President down to the UN Ambassador. They have no choice.
But here are some of the people outside the Administration, who think it’s a good idea for America to go-it-alone and start a war against Syria:
This list of names alone convinces me it’s a stupid idea.

Obama’s FAIL only looks worse when you know that his Columbia degree was in poli-sci with a foreign policy specialty.

Mitch:
The worse part is that there a whole bunch of celebrities who we normally bash who were on the correct side of the issue. Yipes!

Angryclown finds it comical that you kooks become pacifists the moment a Democrat gets sworn in as president.
Kosovo! Bengazi! Impeach!!!!!!!!!!

Clownie! I was starting to worry that you’d been laid off at the circus and were back to prowling for aluminum cans back in Perth Amboy!
Were you one of the granola-eating Vespa riders chanting “USA! USA!” at the coffee shop during The One’s speech?

Long past time we caught up, Mitch! It appears the liberals of your fevered imagination have apparently traded in their Volvos for Vespas and their Chardonnay glasses for granola bowls. Please tell Angryclown they still wear sandals and smell of patchouli!
Angryclown admits he’s saddened to see what you’re reduced to, though. It must cut against the grain to be all “Peace in the Middle-East” and “No Blood for Oil,” eh? All this fuss about putting a few cruise missiles up Assad’s backside? You’ve gone awfully wobbly.
And the president, who threatened to make a botch of things by asking “Mother may I?” to the mouth-breathers in in House, looks like he’s about to luck into a complete solution courtesy of Assad and Putin. Is it too much to hope for another Nobel? All this must be driving you right-wing kooks around the bend. Er, further around the bend. What a wingnut to do?
Anyway, hang in there! Keep flogging Bengazi! “Obama Lied! (Four) People Died!” Palin/Paul ’16!!!!!

Syria has no oil.
It all makes sense now, doesn’t it, AC?

Far be it from Angryclown to explain the logic of you right-wing kooks, Mongo. But you might want to take a look at a map before you chase that particular thought too far down the stupid-hole.

If angryclown actually had a point, it would be unbelievably small.
If only he were just funny enough not to get mocked.

Mitch – hope it doesn’t hurt too badly that you’ve been ‘reduced to …’ something ?? I never thought I would read ” …….. complete solution courtesy of Assad and Putin.” – wow. Now there’s some folks in whom we all can put our trust!

Last war, we were racists for wanting to wanting to bomb brown people.
Now, we’re racists for Not wanting to bomb brown people.
Geez, AC, make up your mind.

No Nate, you’re not stupid about foreign policy because you’re a racist. You just happen to be stupid about foreign policy AND a racist.
