Hey, All You Chairborne Commando Typists...

Authorwesmorgan1 | DateSunday, January 4, 2009 at 17:04 in | Comment7 Comments

...now you can join your very own STRIKE FORCE!

This is Redstate's idea for 2009 - "Building the Redstate Army," an "Army of Redstate Activists." They've even designed a military-style unit insignia, complete with a NATO-style compass rose.

What is it with the need for pseudo-military designations, insignia, et cetera?  I mean, folks in the comments are already talking about "patches for your camos" and offering to have said patches manufactured.  I'm all for grassroots organization--and the GOP definitely suffered from poor street-level work in the last election--but is this just macho run amok?  More to the point, you'd think that Erickson would understand how difficult it's going to be to overcome the "Fighting Keyboardists" kind of satire that has defined this kind of military wanna-be posturing among bloggers.

I guess I could use one of my old unit crests (8th Engr Bn) or unit patches (1st Cav Div) on my posts...or I could just keep using this one to throw off their curve.  *chuckle*

World War III will be represented by the Redstate Army vs the Kos Military.

Take a look at the last couple of posts at Sadly, No, which seems to have “Eric the Dim" down pretty well.

O Lord, I'm still quaking and weeping from that. Thank you!!

"Red State Strike Force." Snicker.

I've heard of kids amusing themselves the way Winston seems to be doing, but it usually involved a magazine in the attic.

Maybe the Red State Strike Force can prove conclusively that the President-elect is Malcolm X's love child.

Something to look forward to, anyway.
