A "Chicken Hawk" is defined by people on the left as someone who supports the War on Terror but won't join the military themselves. These "Chicken Hawks" are some of the most repugnant people amongst Conservatives as far as the left is concerned due to the hypocracy. How can one be in favor of war and unwilling to fight it themselves?
Of course if you're like me, you're left wondering why the Liberal Hawk Chickens didn't all join the war effort when Clinton decided to ruthlessly massacre Serbs in that Kosovo thing, but we won't talk about that right now.
The point is that the Left tells us that they find it repulsive that someone would say one thing and act in a 180 degree different fashion. This leaves me wondering what someone who is an environmentalist warrior refusing to give up their wasteful lifestyle should be dubbed. People like Al Gore and John Travolta who chide us for living the way we do while live in giant, energy inefficient mansions and fly around in gas guzzling private jets. With what we're told is the impending environmental disaster just a few years away, you think that environmentalists would be slamming these "Green Wasters". But with one glance at my email box I can tell the most vocal Greens actually support these people.
Maybe it's because we stupid, simple people just don't understand the definitions of words like "environmental" and "global warming". After all just a few years ago I learned that I really didn't understand what "sex" and "is" were. Perhaps this is just another misunderstanding on my part.
Just like earmarks and corruption. Right after the Nov elections last fall Nancy Pelosi pledged to end rampant overspending and kick out all elected officials who committed fraud. With one of the biggest pieces of pork having just passed both houses by some of the most corrupt officials in our nation's history, one is left wondering what Liberals will say about these "Moral Corrupters". Not even William "the Refrigerator" Jefferson's sleazy actions seem to garner any stern glances from libs.
Thus we can all face the truth: as long as you say certain things and vote certain ways, you can live any way you want too and the left will let you walk. Thus we can lie, cheat, steal and murder as long as we give it a pretty face - and that is open minded.
