On the Naming of Names

Vaara has suggested that there should be an ongoing effort to gain the rhetorical initiative by renaming "wargasmoid"-types as "anti-peace," rather than simply pro-war, or more accurately anti-anti-war.

The fundamental problem with that suggestion, from my point of view, is that Vaara is a much nicer person than I am.

While I support his effort, I think that "anti-peace" is much too kind, and does not adequately convey the depths of my contempt for such people. Therefore, I hereby submit a list of alternative labels (keep in mind the important distinction between people who truly believe we need to go to war for various highly-principled reasons [whom I support], and those that blindly follow the President's lead while saying vile things about those that choose to think things out for themselves [whom I would like to deport]):
