When you criticize Captain America, the terrorists win.

Over at SuperHeroHype, someone has started up a thread calling Cap out onto the mat for his actions in Civil War:

I've come to the conclusion Captain America is a dick.

Let's review some of his wonderful tactical decisions upfront.

• He finds out about the Registration's clause about hunting down bad guys, is nearly gunned down. Does he report this to the media? Retire? No, he declares WAR.
• He recruits a bunch of kids and tells them not You need to go lay low and retire from this but "Abandon your families and work with me in a gurilla war that has no definite end" (it's FEDERAL LAW moron-they'll be on the run for the rest of their lives).
• He expects Hank Pym to join with him on this bizarro crusade of his and live his life on the run too.
• He dismisses the fact that Peter Parker has a VERY GOOD reason for supporting Registration and made a heartfelt decision based on the idea it was for MONEY.

That especially bugs me and shows me Captain America is a no down, lying, dirty ingrate whom apparently has no faith in his friends and no judge of character. He turned his back on them and apparently can't understand there's MERIT to the position.

• His words towards Peter during Issue 3# are beyond the pale and frankly of a dirtbag that I wish Spidey had pounded within an inch of his life. Captain America has NO idea what this kind of problem is.
• His cheap shot at Iron Man also removes any semblance of moral authority the man has.

Who the hell does Captain America think he's fighting anyway? Nazis? He's fighting a democratically created LAW that's about people no longer being allowed to be vigilantes. . . .

His behavior is increasingly sickening.

Oh no you didn't. You don't get to talk smack about Captain freakin' America in a post-9/11 world:

This thread is sickening.

You tell 'im.
