Rock singer Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, performing in San Francisco after the war to liberate Iraq began; "We [expletive] deserve to get bombed. Bring it on."
Later, she yelled, "Let's get rid of all the economic [expletive] this country represents! Bring it on. I hope the Muslims win!"
I used to like The Pretenders music, but that's it for me.
Ya see, Chrissie, this isn't just some fun trendy free-for-all where artists who never graduated from high school debase highly educated elected officials. This is my cousins and thousands of other twenty-something Americans you want the Muslims to defeat. This is my country you want them to bomb.
Maybe Ted Nugent will stop by to see you when he takes his compound bow to Baghdad.

Just so hard to understand those that think this way. I usually attribute it to using drugs...although I'm sure there are some cases where they don't. It's like if they want them to win the war, why wouldn't they want to go live there...on the side they support. Must be hard enjoying all those America dollars to buy all those luxuries, and hate the country that makes that possible for them.
The question is not what a man can scorn, or disparage, or find fault with, but what he can love, and value, and appreciate. J. Ruskin
