Max Blumenthal does it again with his video Generation Chickenhawk, visiting the bathshit crazy College Republican convention and asking them why they aren't serving in this war they so passionately and fervently support. "I'm more career oriented than actually serving," is my favorite excuse. Because we all know that going to Iraq and putting a target on your back isn't a career move, so there's no point in doing it, right?

This video also features the now-iconic statement by Tom DeLay that if it weren't for the 40 million children killed by abortion over the past 30 years, we wouldn't need illegal immigrants. Right, tell that to your corporate buds who don't want to pay a fair wage for labor, ask them if they'd willingly stop importing people with no rights and no recourse to do the jobs they don't want Americans to do.

And who's the guy who goes on about how "everybody has had an inclination toward members of the same sex?" Is he just dying to come out or what?

These are the future leaders of the Republican Party, by the way. Unbelievable.
