My wish is for the "gument" to finally give these redneck VanillaIsis Yeehawdis the fight they have been asking for. What does a white man have to do to get shot?

So, let me be clear, we don't want to use the word, So and the phrase, Let me be clear? So, let me be clear that offends some folks. That takes away how I start all my comments, but let me be clear it sounds different in my head, so there!

At the end of the day, that is clear.

 But, to me, by far, the most annoying phrase is "boots on the ground". Why can't the entire contingency of  news pundits, most of them, probably, college educated, use something besides this phrase? "Infantry" or "ground troops" ? Is it going to hurt to sound a little more informational and less hip?

At the end of the day, that is clear.

I love "boots on the ground", because they're not 18 year old U.S. serviceman getting killed for another bad cause. They're just boots, and they are on the ground. They're not lost in the trees. You can get them on Amazon.

so, let me be clear, I would prefer the phrase "boots on the ground crushing Dick Cheney's criminal war profiteering,draft dodging skull', or " boots on the ground, to picked up and thrown at Donald Rumsfeld face", or "boots on the ground kicking the shite out of the entire Bush family,"

so, let me be clear and add "boots on the ground asking President Obama what the hell he ever accomplished in 7 years on the job", and "boots on the ground listening to silence"
