For Crow Crowley

This post is for my buddy who left the comment yesterday on Our American Heroes. I just wanted to clarify for him what I meant by left wing radical liberal. When I say this, or left wing nutjob, etc, I am talking about the extreme left movement that we are seeing in this country. A good example would be Moveon.org. I am talking about people who are so far left, so out of touch with the common sense majority of america, left and right, that you cant hardly believe some of the things they say. I have lots of liberal friends. We disagree on things yes. I listen to what they have to say, and to be honest, once i understand their point of view, we sometimes end up agreeing, and vice versa. There is nothing wrong with being liberal. I am in no way ever going to say that. We have a free country. However, there are those who think their views are the only views that are acceptable on each side. They won't listen to others opinion. Perfect example of this is an editorial that was in our local paper the other day. This guy in my opinion was attacking the right. Attacking christians, republicans, etc. Basically saying that we are so stupid, so crazy, that there is no hope. I took exception to this, as you will see if you read the comments on this article at the bottom of the page. This guy not only wrote the article, but then he filled his comment board attacking other people who didnt agree with him. There were some people representing the right though that were doing the same thing, so it goes both ways. I have basically swore off commenting on that sight after the other night.

You also wanted some factual accounts of the left wing attacking our soldiers. Here are some examples- http://pol.moveon.org/petraeus.html

And an array of other examples-
"...This NBC report is just an ugly reminder of the price we pay for a mercenary - oops sorry, volunteer - force that thinks it is doing the dirty work." -- Liberal Washington Post blogger, William Arkin
"One of the losers in the weekend oratorical marathon was retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who repeatedly invoked the West Point motto of "Duty, Honor, Country," forgetting that few in this particular audience (at the Democratic National Committee) have much experience with, or sympathy for, the military." -- Liberal columnist David Broder
"American fighters of the Pacific War were not heroes. The desperation of island combat included exchanged barbarities of which no one would willingly speak for a generation. On the American side, there were foul racism, vengeful refusals to take prisoners, a generalized brutality that extended to a savage air war." -- James Carroll in the Boston Globe
"For those of you who do, as a matter of principle, oppose war in any form, the idea of supporting a conscientious objector who's already been inducted [and] in his combat service in Iraq might have a certain appeal. But let me ask you this: Would you render the same support to someone who hadn't conscientiously objected, but rather instead rolled a grenade under their line officer in order to neutralize the combat capacity of their unit?"
Later, in a question-and-answer period, Churchill was asked whether the trauma "fragging" inflicts on that officer's family back home should be considered, he responded: "How do you feel about Adolf Eichmann's family?" – From Ward Churchillvia WorldNetDaily
"Real freedom will come when [U.S.] soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors." -- Warren County Community College adjunct English professor, John Daly
"In Vietnam, our soldiers came back and they were reviled as baby killers, in shame and humiliation. It isn't happening now, but I will tell you, there has never been an [American] army as violent and murderous as our army has been in Iraq." -- Seymour Hersh
"You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." -- John Kerry, in what he later claimed was a botched joke.
"There is, Hugh, I agree with you, a deep anti-military bias in the media. One that begins from the premise that the military must be lying, and that American projection of power around the world must be wrong. I think that is a hangover from Vietnam, and I think it's very dangerous. That's different from the media doing its job of challenging the exercise of power without fear or favor." -- Liberal ABC reporter, Terry Moran
"Do our government's poorly paid contract killers deserve our 'support' for blindly following orders?" -- Ted Rall
"If a young fella has an option of having a decent career or joining the army to fight in Iraq, you can bet your life that he would not be in Iraq." -- Charles Rangel

Quite sickening to me. Like I said before, these men are heroes. They keep us free. As always, there is always that 1 percent that may do something bad, or wrong, but you are going to have that. The left wing media machine always has to focus on the bad happening in Iraq, but you never hear any of the good if you have ever noticed that. Here is the editorial I talked about from the local news. Read it, then read all the comments on it.-
