Peace Creeps
Ah, now I understand:
A peace creep is someone who "emotes concern" over the situation but hasn't got the cojones to admit that sometimes you have to stand up to the bad guys. Like the ones that kidnapped them (and beat Tom Fox before shooting him). Or someone who has the common decency to thank the people that saved them - "But Horrors!, you are soldiers!
So let's see if I can sum up:
Main Entry: peace creep
Pronunciation: 'pEs 'krEp
Function: noun
1 person who believes in non-violent methods of standing up to bad guys, risks his/her life to help people find alternatives to violence and rebuild their lives, and doen't have "cojones" to pay lip service to ideals that people sitting behind keyboards espouse.
2 person who doesn't sufficiently grovel to the military to the satisfaction of rightwing wackos.
Mark, my random wingnut commenter, also helpfully adds:
And while the comments at LGF are always way over the top, the stories are first class.
Oh yes, always first class, just like the songs by Prussian Blue. As catnip asked yesterday, what the fucking hell is wrong with these goddamned, goatblowing, hate-filled assholes1?

Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, as my old grandmother always said.

I would be proud to be known as a peace creep, but I think I'm too blood-thirsty and revengeful for that. It's hard work. Too much thinking involved. Easier to blow things up and kill stuff.
And I don't think you could pay goats enough.
