“So, a decorated combat vet is a poser...
I think I’ll bring in a few witnesses.
Here ya go, Folks: a few self-righteous types who think that yours truly is a fake, because I don’t kneel to their single-issue.”
I’ve been told that you are indeed a veteran, Old Sarge, and that you served in Iraq. Thank you for your service. Our son also served in Iraq, during the first year and a half of the war, as did other young men from our area.
I had checked your page and you made no mention of your service so I had know idea if you were or were not a veteran. In my comment I had made the point that there were many who post comments online that are not who or what they say they are. That is a fact.
Now, what I do find ironic, is that you seem to want people to stand up for what is right and wrong in this country, but yet, when they do (as this issue proves), you slam them for trying. Your “About” page, speaks some truths, but I also come away feeling that you are extremely negative and do not believe that America can overcome our problems. Well, you’re right. We will never stand a snowball’s chance in hell of overcoming our problems if good Americans are taken in by a defeatist attitude.
You give the impression that we should just fold up the tent, pull up the stakes, and give up. I wasn’t raised to give up and I won’t give up. And like I said, I know a lot of veterans and yet do not know one that believes that we should give up. Not on the issue of Obama’s birth certificate and not on the future of our great country.
Well, I do see you’re listening to the volume of proof, and thank you.
What I have issue with is the American Sheep. The majority of the Sheep have broken faith with their veterans past and present. They have embraced the enemy and I no longer have any faith in them, nor do I have any compulsion to continue to defend them. My oath constrains me to continue, though, and so I must.
Like I told someone else on this thread, we have lost the culture war. We are now in an insurgency, and we better figure out how to fight as insurgents. Part of being an insurgent is realizing that you cannot win the fight force-onforce with the enemy. You have to select your battles based on the limited resources you have.
We do not have the media; but we do have the Internet and talk radio, for now. We do not have the schools, and never will. We do have the military, para-military, and the veterans - for now. We are losing the propaganda war with the COLB thing; the Sheep refuse to listen, based on the media’s work. Time to cut our losses and pick the next fight; and the next fight after that. I have not given up, but I must recognize when to quit.
