But who is a combatant?

The Occupy mob are a bunch of econo-terrorists who greatly obstructed the smooth operation of our banking institutions, which are obviously vital to the financing of the war effort.

People protesting Keystone are eco-terrorists who threaten the nation's energy supply.

Not far from where I'm writing this, Gogebic Taconite is employing a private army to guard their mine site from even more eco-terrorists.

People who attempt to get photographic evidence of factory farm operations are threatening our food supply, and Iowa has already passed legislation against this variety of terrorists.

Moral Monday demonstrators are weakening our governmental institutions at the state level. Surely they qualify as enemy combatants.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
