Proud to Be a Chickenhawk

Jeff Jacoby in the Boston Globe attacked the use of the epithet “chicken hawk.” But is “chicken hawk” really an insult?

Hey Tom since NC Cop was over there I think your question is ill timed at best, and well foolish to say the least. Good attempt at sounding like you actually know something. – Lorica

For me, it comes down to this: If you support military action overseas, you should be willing to serve or have your children serve. If you believe in the Iraq war that much, to have your children maimed or dead, then God bless your misguided soul.
I’ll never send my son to die for a this lie. Would you?

Jeff jacoby meet the late michael kelly

Jeff Jacoby writes in response to the charge that he’s a chicken hawk that You don’t need medical training to express an opinion on healthcare. You don’t have to be on the police force to comment on matters of law and order. You don’t have to be a …

They’re not over 2000, they’re not over 2004. In 2004, they were so convinced they would win that they are now claiming, of course, voter fraud.

Wasn’t it interesting that all this “bad intelligence” and “we voted for military action, but only after every other means were exahusted” and “we demand a timetable for withdrawal” only came out after they lost the 2004 election?

It’s getting so they are simply more amusement than anything else.

So I guess if this Chickenhawk argument is valid, then you can’t have an opinion on abortion if you are a man. You can’t have an opinion on law and order, unless you are a cop. You can’t have an opinion on Islamic fascists, unless you are one!!!!

Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself

Go read this article. It’s in response to the often-heard cry of “Chickenhawk!” from the left.

No big secret, but there are more than a few here in Iowa who sling that phrase at me, as if they know anything about me or whether or not I saw comba…

2000. Anyone remember that mess? Al Gore should of done the right thing from the start and congratulated Bush on his win.

I encontered a Lib the other day and he called me that too after I had mentioned that I was for taking out the Islamofactists and he called me a Chicken Hawk and so I called him since he is no Chicken Hawk that must mean that you are the Chicken and then told him that I was full right now from eating too much Chicken and told him to come back tomorrow when I get hungry again.

Carol Platt Liebau commented on this item the other day. I used the FDR angle against the libs there without getting a direct response to it. But the libbers like to add it to their arsenal of irrelevant crap concerning the Bush admin. They just can’t get over 2000.
