"Politician" is the occupational equivalent of "Florida".

Apparently there's a "study" about how TEH GAYZ molest kids five times as often as Good And Honest Heteros. A study that is only referred to on a biased-as-shit Christian website.

All the while the armed forces are shoring up left-wing support for their endless wars by making happy noises about civil rights every once in a while.

The sad thing is, it seems to be working.
Consumption is not a politically combative act — refraining from consumption even less so.

I heard about that Friday. I think it started with the berets. Once the uniforms started going with a retro fashion, it was just a matter of time.

I find it funny that now all of a sudden these people are demanding some one who actually served in the military be in the position. Now they do have a point ideally, the problem is that they seem to ignore that most of our civilian positions(Like Commander In chief, Secretary of The Army, etc) within the army have been held by civilians rather that former military.

There's a fine line between being a dove and being a peacenik.  You don't just cross it, you sprint right over it.

Nah, he is just trying to troll you and always picks the opposite side (or otherwise makes up something to anger you) because you are easy to trigger.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

The fact that you consider "peacenik" an insult says all I need to know about you.

"Peacenik" means anti-war pacifist. It was an insult used by old folks to disparage Vietnam War protestors, implying they were filthy communists for protesting the war. Protestors and anti war activists "owned" the word, and it entered the '60's & '70's popular vernacular, along with "hippie". So, yeah, I don't think Ironchew should feel insulted by being called one. You might as well call him a goll darned whipper-snapper and tell him to get offa your lawn.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Well, from my understanding, a "peacenik" isn't just somebody who's against a particular war, or war in general.  I use it to refer to doves who take it too far.

What is "too far"?

Not trying to needle you, I'm legit curious.

For example, being absurdly cynical about the military's efforts to be more inclusive.

Or carrying signs like this:
