Need to go to the link...doesn't copy well.

Unfortunately, this message persists and helps to legitimize dissent. Not the rare but essential dissent of a free nation reigning in rogue leaders, but the weak and shifty 60s dissent that encourages the enemy to kill one more American in the hope that his or her death will bring back Vietnam and make victory possible (see War and Dissent).

On this Memorial Day weekend where we remember the sacrifices of our soldiers, let’s set aside the childishness of such songs and raise our voices in a new refrain:

Last night I had the strangest dream

I ever dreamed before

I dreamed the world had all agreed

To fight evil evermore

[Socratic]

The old,"Who are we to judge others?" manta which translates to, "Leave me to my own licentiousness so I don't have to worry about whether there is a God, or not." Liberalism which fears judgement for its own sins.

I heard on the radio that Iraq was "another unpopular war" (as was Vietnam).


I assume that means Kosovo and Afghanistan were popular wars

The only wartime song that affected me was "Life During Wartime" by the Talking Heads. I joined. I didn't run away. The song still haunts me when I here it.

The nation that invades another to steal wealth and kill women and children is no more reprehensible than the nation that sets down its pots and plows and takes up arms to defend those women and children...people who aren't very bright frequently have difficulty making distinctions even as simple as this one........
