Those left-wing, America-hating pansies who stormed ashore on Normandy Beach have finally been defeated. Those scumbags who fought on Iwo Jima were wrong, and finally a brave, proud America has rejected all the socialist entitlement crap those dumb bastards thought they were fighting for, in that war we build monuments to but can't place.

The Greatest Generation. Oh, yeah. Don't you mean The Greatest Communist America-Hating Generation?

Look at the record.

Sure, they said they were fighting for America, but as soon as they came home, what did they do? Why, they went right out and got jobs, union jobs. Some of those stinking commie World War II vets refused to cross picket lines.

Heroes? They were cowards, always kow-towing to union bosses, strangling free enterprise.

Oh, sure, fighting your way through the Battle of the Bulge mighta taken a little guts, but when they got home, those gutless veterans joined the autoworkers union and the steelworkers union. Guess they musta been intimidated by union thugs, huh? Told you they were pansies.

Thank God the next generation of veterans won't have the chance to kiss union-boss butt.

Hell, no!

Those guys getting their legs blown off in Iraq aren't going to come home to some cushy middle-class job with health care, seniority rights and a pension.

Yeah. We plugged that rat hole.

Those men and women currently walking the dusty roads of Afghanistan are going to come home to an America that's more like Afghanistan every day.

Good thing they got experience.

Yep. Here in America, the Holy Roller Taliban is beating you to death with the Bible, Wisconsin is blowing its nose on workers' rights and the tea party slithers closer to the Klan every day.

And don't think I'm "Anti-Christian" because of that Taliban crack. I wouldn't want Hasidic rabbis running the country, either. Or Buddhist monks. They're brave folks, those soldiers overseas, and we want to make sure they come back to the bracing, competitive environment of temporary work, no unions, no pension, no seniority and, of course, no voice.

Fight for your country as hard as you can overseas, boys and girls, because we won't let you fight for your country when you get home. Hell, by the time you heroes get home, there may not be an America. We're selling it to the corporations as fast as we can.

We'll send you a list of the things you're fighting for, so you don't become a left-leaning union stooge like your grandfather, who was so stupid he thought his service entitled him to a good job and a good life.

The list gets shorter every day. You're still fighting for the Bible and for gun owners' rights and the free enterprise system.

But you're not fighting for the right to organize or the right to collective bargaining. We'll let you know about gay marriage later. And you are most definitely not fighting for the right to complain if you're getting screwed. Shut up, and do what the rich people tell you to do. That's the American way. Anything else is hating America, and hating America means you're probably a terrorist.

And you don't want to be a terrorist. That's nearly as bad as being a socialist.

Like your grandpa, who when you think about it, was just a pansy with a Purple Heart.
