We need to start a new war

What with the revelation that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian terrorist who thought that the US would notice death and destruction in Detroit, had ties to terrorist networks in Yemen, it was only a matter of time before it was made clear to us that Yemen was a place that definitely needed a war started in it. As if on cue Joe Lieberman, a man only good for advocating for new ill thought out wars and stopping things that might benefit actual humans, was right out there telling us all how good America would look in a third war.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, (I-Conn) a renowned hawk and one of the foremost champions of the invasion of Iraq, warned on Sunday that the United States faced "danger" unless it pre-emptively acts to curb the rise of terrorism in Yemen.

"Somebody in our government said to me in Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, Iraq was yesterday's war. Afghanistan is today's war. If we don't act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow's war," Lieberman said, during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday". "That's the danger we face."
Compelling. If we don't start a war in Yemen today, we'll have to start a war in Yemen in the future. Makes sense to me. All I want to know is when we can start calling for a surge in Yemen.

I am worried though. How will Joe Lieberman's imaginary war in Yemen affect our imaginary war in Iran? I'm sure Joe wouldn't want a new imaginary war to take away from our theoretical war efforts in Iran that he has advocated for so long, but I'm concerned with the sheer weight, scope, and toll that so many fanciful "brown people go kaboom" conflicts are having. Is America mentally strong enough to have so many hypothetical wars to fight alongside our real ones?

Thankfully we don't have to grapple with such esoteric concerns. No, such serious thoughts are reserved for the very smart men in our government who think that the only solution to any terrorist threat is a bombing run or full scale military conflict in the country that can most easily be linked to said terrorist. Men like Joe Lieberman. Thank God we have him out there, advocating for dozens upon dozens of new wars.

Broken News: Obama unleashes new rash of imaginary laws

His Lordship and one of his High Daemon Secretaries, moments before eradicating the bedrock of American greatness.

RUSH LIMBAUGH'S MIND—Today the shadowy veil of deception dropped as the 44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, announced a new litany of laws set to bedevil the hearts and minds of a beleaguered American populace. From his throne of skulls inside his chamber of horrors, the swarthy Muslim self-styled God-king spoke of a need to “…stifle the free market, hamper productivity, desecrate Reagan’s grave, and besmirch the vast intellectual fruits of the still vibrant conservative movement.”

First on the President’s agenda was a signing ceremony for the resurrection of the Fairness Doctrine. The original law, meant to ensure airtime was provided to contrasting views on vital and controversial matters, was discarded by President Reagan in 1985. The new bill, signed into law with a pen made of Hitler’s femur and filled with children's spinal fluid, will force broadcasters to forcibly transmit Obama’s mind-controlling frequencies while in turn requiring conservative commentators to cease broadcast five times per hour and genuflect in front of a portrait of Jimmy Carter.

“Oh, it's fucking diabolical,” said Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel as he wiped his bloody penis on a flag and spit on the frightened young boys cowering in the corner. “First we brandish our liberal propaganda all over the airwaves, making the liberal media -- which we cleverly hid inside large conservative mega-corporations -- even more liberal... as if that were even fucking possible! After the population has learned to embrace cowardice, health care, and Roquefort cheese, we’ll go after the only form of resistance remaining: conservative radio. Oh, at first they’ll resist, but once our newly commissioned Thought Police puts their arms up behind their backs in a really painful way, they’ll change their tune. How’s ‘Give Peace a Chance’ sound?”

“But perhaps I’ve said too much,” he laughed maniacally while holding down the big, red button on his desk labeled "Current to Michael Steele's testicles."

From there the plan is to introduce to Congress the Freedom of Choice Act. This radical new pro-abortion plan will actually pay women to have abortions, with the dollar amount doubling with each procedure. The plan also offers a 50% bonus for any abortion performed by an illegal immigrant doctor; 75% if the woman can find a Mexican day laborer working a job an American used to do to perform the task. The FoCA, which previously had never been heard of or even conceived of outside of mailers for anti-abortion and religious groups seeking donations, ideally will be signed in a burning church after the violent abolition of all organized religion.

“Ah-ha! Jesus H-shitting Christ, I fucking Goddamn knew it!” shouted Catholic League President, CEO, Board of Directors associate, and sole member Bill Donohue, when contacted about this revelation while he picketed the general immoral existence of non-Catholics. “People just thought we and every other fundamentalist sect were trolling for money just because no one had ever heard of this FOCA plan we said was in imminent danger of passing. Who’s laughing now?”

“I can’t wait to see our quarterly donation reports after this passes!” he said before moving on to chastise a group of pre-teen girls, who were walking into a screening of the Jonas Brothers movie, for cooperating with evil by helping to support the gay death style of a depraved liberal Hollywood.

Already new atrocities are being enacted to further enslave America in Obama’s liberal totalitarian police state. Already ‘NObama’ bumper stickers and shirts are being rounded up and burned, as well as the immediate confiscation of placards referring to the President as ‘That One’.

In fact the only vagaries of these new imaginary laws are whether or not Obama has decided to crush the opposition quickly, say by making them accept all the funds he allocated them in the recent stimulus atrocity, or by slowly killing the American spirit, perhaps by slowly improving the health of citizens through a magical socialist pyramid of health coverage schemes. Already the seeds of revolution are being planted, with new, sparsely attended ‘American Tea Parties’, where patriots gather in the dozens to confusedly support the financial sectors who are under siege from shifty minority homeowners.

When told of these flowerings of opposition, a haughty and presumptuous Obama simply laughed, lightning flashing in the distance, and said “No mere mortal can stop the onslaught of socialism.” He motioned to have reporters taken away before he moved to dangerously plunge this country further into imaginary totalitarianism.
