Obama's war

Obama mentioned raising taxes to fund Afganistan. On the one hand, Freepers hate taxes and Obama. On the other hand, they love them some war. What to do?

The only solution is inchoerance:

RJS1950 has some awesome logic:

Any tax imposed will also be paid by military families as well so he just wants another burden put on military families.

This is why we should never tax anyone ever.

ClearCase_guy thinks a tax to help the war is proof Obama hates war:

My interpretation of this is that in these tough economic times, Obama is trying to make the war more unpopular by associating it with an additional tax. You warmongers! You want to kill people so much, you better be prepared to pay for the pleasure!!

St. Louis Conservative proves how hating war is socialist:

There’s a new narrative developing on the left that wars have stopped great “progressive” (i.e. socialist) movements. They are scared to death that Afghanistan could unravel their sweeping domestic socialist agenda.

KTM rider keeps it simple:

Obama's War
Obama's Tax
to pay for Obama's lavish stupidity

Cause after about 9 months, the President retroactively owns the decision to go to war.

cranked just indulges in random populist rhetoric:

Here’s my version of a war tax:

Forcibly induct every Congressman and woman into the military, put them through training, give them a weapon, and send them to a few units on the front lines in Afghanistan.

Ya sound like a hippy!

in 10 years [we will] have SEALs and Force Recon guys fighting to the death in some gladiator arena under Obama’s thumb. Don’t think anything is beneath Obambi. If it was good enough for Nero and Commodus..

Wow, that Obama sure is evil!
