ATTN, Young Yellow Elephants: SIGN UP!

From Operation Yellow Elephant: Progressive Americans Support Military Recruitment of College and Young Republicans!
Attention Anti-War Leftists:

It's time to reach out to all Americans. On January 30, the College Republicans will sponsor "Finish the Job: Support Our Troops" Rallies in Washington DC and All Over America to support President Bush's January 31 State of the Union address. All of you can support every American's First Amendment rights and make a patriotic impression on our great country. Red States and Blue States together, we're all Americans.

Cindy Sheehan said it best: If you support the war, I think you should join it. I hear recruiting numbers are low. It's the College Republicans' day; don't spoil it with anti-Bush counter-protests against the war itself. Instead, encourage the College Republicans and their supporters, including Protest Warrior, to volunteer for military service: Be A Man! Enlist!


Brilliant! And yet, I'd wager that the next day, the enlistment rolls will not be one spoiled rich-kid Republican greater. They'll just say that we're "ignorant tree-hugging anti-American leftists" and walk away to spend more of mommy and daddy's trust fund money on Beer Pong and pro-war rally flyers.

If we push them enough, maybe some of them will realize the bitter irony of trying to keep our soldiers in this bullshit war while they sit comofrtably at home.

But I doubt it.
