What We Are About To Do Here Is What The Good Lord Would Call A Cleansing of the Wicked. I Call It A Good Old Fashioned Texas Ass Kicking.

The left has made quite an issue of their patriotism being questioned. There have been no instances of members of the Bush administration questioning the patriotism of those that oppose the war. Members of the administration have questioned whether or not it is wise to use statements that undermine our country in a time of war. You know, little things like calling the President a liar, saying that we had no legitimate reason for taking military action against Saddam Hussein or equating the war in Iraq with Vietnam. Despite all of the negative and nasty venom spewed by members of the party of appeasement, the right of those to voice their opinions has not once been infringed upon.
That time has now past. We have put up with name calling and viciousness since the war in Iraq began. We have heard Sen. Kennedy call the war “concocted in Texas” prior to the President’s election. We have put up with the comparisons to Vietnam and the repeated calls of “Quagmire” from the Senator. We even had to hear Sen. Kennedy’s own words used against our soldiers in Iraq by the terrorists in Iraq. Do I question Senator Kennedy’s patriotism? You bet I do.
America has watched Ramsey Clark defend the butcher of Baghdad. We saw the pictures from Abu Ghraib used by the defense in the trial of Saddam Hussein. We watched as the defense used the photos as a comparison of the treatment the Iraqis received from Saddam to the treatment received by American soldiers. We have listened to Ramsey Clark call for the impeachment of President Bush while defending Milosevic and Hussein. There is no reason to even ask about Clark’s patriotism as he has proven on more than one occasion that he has none.
This summer we were subjected to images of Cindy Sheehan waging her PR campaign. While the media fawned all over the grieving mother, Sheehan blamed the President for killing her son and declared that Israel was responsible also. While the media lamented the fact that President Bush would not cave in and meet this woman for the second time, Sheehan colluded with Code Pink and various other hate America first groups. No one could question the motives of “Mother Sheehan” - to do so was sacrilege. But I have no problem questioning Sheehan’s patriotism.
We watched the replay of Sen. Dick Durbin equate our soldiers in Iraq with Nazis, etc. We all heard his half hearted attempt to cover up what he said by claiming it was in an FBI report. No report was every found with the claims made by Durbin. Do I question your patriotism Sen. Durbin? Oh heck yeah I do.
We saw the editorial “cartoons” of Ted Rall depicting our soldiers as pedophiles, rapists, abusers and torturers. We all know that Rall continues to get paid for his depictions of our soldiers as so much less than honorable and noble. Patriotic? No. Idiotic? Yes.
We’ve heard members of the Progressive Caucus call the President and his administration liars. Rep Conyers has called for investigations for everything from the Downing Street memo to the Diebold machines in Ohio. Rep Maxine Waters does not want positive news from Iraq in the media because it devalues the soldiers that were killed in Iraq. Rep. Nancy Pelosi wants our troops out of Iraq now because they are only increasing the attacks by the insurgents. Does this mean that their patriotism is in question? Yes it does.
The entire world heard Rep. Murtha roll over and quit again. Then we were subjected to his description of our army as “broken down” and “worn out”. But we were not allowed to disagree with him because he was a decorated war veteran. Just because you have war medals on your chest does not mean you are patriotic. Your actions speak much louder than those medals you wave about.
Senator John Kerry once again claimed that US soldiers committed atrocities, this time in Iraq, not Vietnam. Most of us had grown tired of watching the flips and flops of Kerry. That little statement made us realize how close we had come to calling him “Commander in Chief” instead of the loser of the 2004 Presidential election. There was another decorated war veteran who turned his back on his country and his soldiers. His name was Benedict Arnold.
The week would not be complete without the screecher, Howard Dean, expressing his support for our soldiers in Iraq. Claiming that we could not win the war in Iraq was just his own special way of telling the soldiers how much he valued their sacrifice and service. With that kind of patriotism, who needs enemies?
The Left has demonstrated their lack of core values and the failure of their moral compass. It does not matter if the statements made by those on the Left undermine the soldiers or the country. The only thing that matters is that President Bush’s approval numbers go down. Success in Iraq means failure for the Left.
Liberals love to use the phrase “I support the troops but not their mission.” What a crock! That is like saying I love the Atlanta Falcons but I hope they lose the Super Bowl! The pretense is no longer necessary. The Liberals care about their own selfish agenda and regaining political power. It is all about them and no one or nothing else. The next time an “our soldiers are terrorists” Liberal accuses me of questioning their patriotism, I will have no problem responding “You Bet I Am!”
Senator John Kerry once again claimed that US soldiers committed atrocities, this time in Iraq, not Vietnam. Most of us had grown tired of watching the flips and flops of Kerry. That little statement made us realize how close we had come to calling him “Commander in Chief” instead of the loser of the 2004 Presidential election. There was another decorated war veteran who turned his back on his country and his soldiers. His name was Benedict Arnold.The difference was Benedict probably earned his decorations.
nicely said.
26 years active duty. I and all of my friends will question their patriotism and we have been questioning it for years.
I only make the accusation to people who lie. I respect the right of an honest person to question how the war on terror's being conducted, or even to say that all war is wrong (they're entitled to their own values), as long as they stick to the facts. But anyone who repeats any of the lies generated by Democrats about the President or the war on terror gets no slack from me. That's a person who isn't interested in the truth, but only in forwarding his anti-American agenda, and that person is not a patriot.
How can you hate everything about your country, always assume the worst about anything it does then call yourself a patriot?
"I'm not questioning your patriotism, I'm answering your treason."
Wish I wrote it.
That's good, too. Their squawking and flapping goes up quite a bit when I don't respond with the politically correct answer.
MY HERO
If you have any extra butt to kick send some to PA.
Me too!
I make it a point to tell each liberal moonbat that I encounter on the street here in the Bay Area protesting the war (and there are a lot), that I question there patriotism. They usually hurl a bunch of swear words or call me a Nazi. It makes me feel good!
Arnold was a battlefield proven leader. When he had been passed over once too often by a corrupt bunch of REMFs over supplies, rank, pay, etc. he finally left.
To compare Kerry to Anold is laughable as Kerry wasn't a small fraction of either the leader or the military leader that Arnold was.
Thanks to the Swift Boat Vets, we can all have a laugh at how close we came to having Kerry in hte White House.
I'm pretty sure that my First Amendment rights allow me to question anybody's patriotism. 'RATS are taught since the time when they are still little chimps that being "patriotic" means overthrowing and destroying any government made up of a Republican majority. Their Marxist "perfessors" in "college" continue this brainwashing.
You can't question the Left's patriotism - they don't have any.
