You don't protect my freedom: Our childish insistence on calling soldiers heroes deadens real democracy — It's been 70 years since we fought a war about freedom. Forced troop worship and compulsory patriotism must end — Put a man in uniform, preferably a white man, give him a gun, and Americans will worship him.
Discussion: Hot Air and protein wisdom
Editor's notes: Salon, the smut-Left version of The Daily Beast or The Daily Kos, came up this bit of trash, proving itself and its staff to be enemies of the State, plain and simple.
ALL of our wars, since WW II, have been for the sake of freedom, at some level, except - possibly - for whatever was going on in Viet Nam. Sadly, we did not have an outright win in Korea, but, we did give a population, in that country, the right of self rule. I mean, look at what has happened in North Korea and tell me our efforts in that war have not been vindicated.
Viet Nam is a different situation. Democrats (JFK and LBJ) put us into that war, hoping to drive back Communist intrusion into the country (therein is the "freedom" factor as to this war). Of course, with the passage of time, this war escalated out of control and to the point of no return, thanks to anti-war pressure. Nixon came into the presidency on the promise that he would end the war during his first term. Instead, he prolonged the war, and, used his promise to gain a second term victory. In addition to the politics of a Man with Morals (Nixon) Especially as to Viet Nam, we can make the case that Liberal, anti-war bias was a primary cause for our defeat. As a result, we did not fight that war to secure a certain and final victory and 56,000 soldiers lost their lives, thank you very much Karl Marxist (Hey, I was in college with these Marxist Morons during the 1960's and 70's and know, first hand, of their preference for Mao and Marxist).
Understand that after troops have been committed to the fight, we are responsible for their safety, for their very lives. The anti-war maniacs do not agree. Instead, we have the bastardly commentary of the Left, as presented in the Salon story, above.
No one worships our soldiers. But the Marxist Left cannot see the difference between "worship" and "due respect." Right or wrong, our soldiers were not those who set the policies that took us into Viet Nam, but the Marxist pigs who had infected our collegiate system, at the time, blamed them, nonetheless. What is maddening, more so than any other consideration, is the fact that these same Leftist Pigs are now in charge of much of the domestic policies in our country. Dick Durbin, Charles Schumer, Valarie Jarrett, the eternal blond, Nancy Pelosi, the self-serving and morally defunct, Harry Reid, the Angry Black Congressional Caucus, Elizabeth Warren, Joe "The Opportunist Blowhard Biden, H Obama and his wife, the newly weaponized EPA and IRS, the liberal leadership in such communities as San Francisco and New York City, the State of Oregon, and many more, are all part of the cartel that Salon represents.
At any rate, I have included this "lede" taken from Memeorandum.com simply to illustrate the critical nature of the current political war. Of course, not all Democrats support the current anti-Constitutional Cartel, but they are, clearly, not in charge and have much work to do in restoring their party to an acceptable ideology, representing enough of the national population to stay in power.
You would think that the free love, dope smoking, "I hate America," crowd would have no place in our free and unique society, but they are here and are not leaving . . . . . . . . hence the tireless opposition to their trash talking, filth oriented protests to all that is good and needed to return this nation to its place as the Leader of the Free World.
Finally, in the lede, above, Salon pretends that it would have supported our involvement in WW II. Nothing could be further from the truth. Never, ever, forget that we waited for five years (1938 - 1943) to join our friends in Europe because of anti-war, isolationist pressure. Obama and those he represents, would have never fought that war, believing that the Nazi had a right to determine their own destiny, kind of like Obama's thinking as to the Russian expansion ("tell Putin I will be more flexible after the 2012 elections"), Iran's nuclear ambitions ("we need to respect Iran's sovereignty") , and the PLO ("it is unfair that Israel won the 1967 war and expanded it borders").
This is the Left of today, a cartel that is loosing its hold over our society. The 2010 and 2014 elections were elections that involved the expressed will of the people across the national political spectrum. Conservatives and teaparty types, now own 67 state legislative bodies versus 33 still in Occupy the Constitution Collective hands. The House has 243 Representatives, its largest majority in six or seven decades. And the Harry Reid Left, has lost 16 Senate seats since Obama and Reid took over that institution.
Salute to the astounding victory the Right is securing in the name of all that is good in this nation.

Good points but a lot of name calling.
ReplyDeleteYou might be right, but I am a 70 year old angry old guy, who had to sit through the years of the 1960's through the 80"s (Until Rush in '88), blasting the conservative Right, laughing in our faces, and framing us as stupid, unpopular, and a menace to our society. Turnabout is fair play. I try not to over do it, however, staying away from the filthy preference of the Left. Besides, Marxists ARE pigs, rejects in a society that was and is an inventive, unique contribution to the politics of governance.
