Quote:Mr. Cheney,
A lot of times I write these open letters of mine knowing that as a political comedian with a site that has a reach the size of mine, the addressees will probably never read them. I am triply-assured that you will never read this, or any other piece I’ve written about you because you have more hubris than brains and you live in a world where you are sheltered from the reality that you are the worst Vice-President of the worst presidential administration in modern times. You have more ego than heart — at least heart made up of real human emotions or biological material instead of whatever metal the machine keeping you alive is made of. My best guess is that the mirror that bore your reflection that you fell in love with was positioned just outside your anal sphincter and like Narcissus before you, you fell in — all the way in. Living your life firmly implanted in your own ass is the only reason I can possibly come up with why you still think the world wants or needs your opinion on anything — much less on matters that involve America’s war machines.
And yet, you still can’t manage to keep your old fool-mouth shut.
Why you think after all this time, and after seeing all the wasted blood and treasure you signed my generation up for that you should have an opinion on the Department of Defense, the United States military, or American foreign policy is beyond me. You are widely regarded as one of the chief architects of the worst foreign policy blunder of the new century. The Iraq War was a colossal blunder initiated by lie after lie out of not just your mouth, but several key members of your administration’s mouths. Of course we’re not surprised that you don’t like the Obama White House’s decision to try and bring defense spending to its lowest point in over 70 years, it’s the fact that you think you deserve to have a say in these matters at all that irks me most.
Appearing on Fox News’ Moron Hour — er I mean Sean Hannity’s show — you had some really derptastic words on Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel’s proposal for winding down military spending. You said, “I have not been a strong supporter of Barack Obama. But this really is over the top. It does enormous long-term damage to our military.” Firstly — bull****. Complete and total bull****. The truth about Hagel and Obama’s plan is that they really are modernizing the armed forces; choosing agility and efficiency over sheer volume. But they’re not really going to take us off our permanent war-time footing, so hawks like you really have nothing to complain about. The Obama team is definitely looking to slash the DOD’s budget, but they are still going to keep dumping money into the War on Terror, developing more drone technology and keeping us in a position to still wag our dicks around wherever and whenever we want. There’s more for pro-war jerks like you to love about this proposal than you’re letting on, but let’s keep looking at your commentary some more, shall we?
You continued to condemn Obama by saying he and his administration “act as though it is like highway spending and you can turn it on and off.” This is monumental in its lack of personal awareness. You and George W. Bush drove our economy into the **** house while spending over a trillion dollars in taxpayer money on a credit card that you knew full-well you’d never see the statements on. You acted therefore, like you could turn the faucet on, walk away and the house wouldn’t flood. I’m here to tell you, Mr. Cheney, the whole goddamned city flooded, not just the house. The whole goddamned city.
Moving along, then we come to the part of the interview where you say Obama is “having a huge impact on the ability of future presidents to deal with future crises that are bound to arise.” What another tremendous load of irony-drenched poppycock. Maybe you should have thought about the impact your wanton murder spree through the Middle East and Southern Asia would do to morale and support for this kind of nuttiness before you plunged us into your fantasies. You sir, created this mess by acting like the power-hungry cowboys you turned us into as a response to 9/11.
But even beyond the fact that you helped tire-out the nation on the whole concept war, you clearly live in a world of the most fantastical delusion. The truth, the cold, hard honest-to-God truth, is that America hasn’t fought in a necessary war since the Axis powers were defeated in the last world war. The truth is our perpetual state of war-readiness hasn’t garnered us any more security than we’d have had if we just maintained a force strong enough to defend ourselves at home, and pitch in abroad on humanitarian efforts. War isn’t the answer to all our problems, Dick, no matter how hard you insist that it is.
Let’s get to the real (cold metal) heart of the issue, shall we? The real reason you and your fellow war hawks are up in a tizzy about Hagel’s proposal is that you “think the whole thing is not driven by any change in world circumstances, it is driven by budget considerations,” and that the president “would much rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops.” There you have it, in its most stark and simplest terms you truly believe in that soulless, empty body of yours that the best way we can spend our money is on war, and not on helping the poor. And if you don’t think the “food stamps” rhetoric is second-nature, subliminal racism aimed at every red state voter with a pulse, I have a house on Mars to sell you.
Racist, and a war monger. What a thrilling combination, Dick!
How dare anyone who has profited as a Defense contractor demagogue Americans on food stamps? If ever there was an industry that acted like a parasite, it’s the defense industry. They literally profit off the deaths of those we fight in other countries, as well as from those who sign up to possibly die fighting for our country. Defense contractors take money directly from taxpayers. Defense contractors get tax breaks (read: free money) from the rest of us, and all the while they are raking in the money hand-over fist. The real “Welfare Queens” in this country are the corporate whores that take billions in tax breaks while also making record-high profits. Defense contractors are among the guiltiest of that flock.
Halliburton profited to the tune of $39.5 billion from the Iraq War. That is what you are most concerned about protecting, Dick, and we all know it. You couldn’t possibly care less about my generation as you sent them to slaughter. You simply pushed the button, watched them head over to Iraq and then silently counted the checks as the flag-draped boxes returned from the quagmire you helped create. You are literally the last person that anyone with an ounce of sanity should listen to about all things war and foreign policy because you are the living model of everything that Dwight D. Eisenhower, the last truly great Republican president, warned us about.
You’ve been fashioning iron crosses to hang around our necks for most of your adult life. If your war profiteering wasn’t bad enough, there’s the fact that you haven’t served a day of military service in your life. Here you are, balefully moaning about how we need to support our troops, and yet you would so casually sign up as many as you needed to fight and die against little brown people as you could, if it meant another 6-9% return on your investment. Of course we should be spending more money on food stamps than we spend on war, at least if we really were to be the “Christian” nation ******** like you proclaim us to be. Not only should we be spending more on feeding our own citizens, we should be spending more money on feeding the world’s starving population than we do on fancy pilot-free, flying kill machines.
The way I see it, it’s time for you to just shut up, Dick Cheney. If the subject is anything but “beating mortality with the help of machinery,” you need to keep your foul trap shut. You don’t get to use the cold, stiff corpses of men and women a fraction of your age to make millions upon millions of dollars for your personal bank accounts — money dyed permanently red with the blood of America’s youth — and then criticize anyone for having the will to get us away from the mindset of incessantly looking for the next fight.
Feeding people instead of putting a missile through their living rooms…what a crazy notion. Especially for a so-called “Christian” nation, right Dick?
