Lieutenant General James Mattis recently made comments at a forum in San Diego that are now pervading the news; he said, "It's fun to shoot some people... You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."
So of course, liberals have now become frantic in their revolted outrage. As the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Nihad Awad, said, "We do not need generals who treat the grim business of war as a sporting event. These disturbing remarks are indicative of an apparent indifference to the value of human life."
The characteristics of this incident are similar to the one in late 2003, when Lt. Gen. William Boykin told audiences that terrorists hated America because it was a nation of Christian believers and that the enemy in the war on terrorism was Satan. Nihad Awad was rampaging then also, saying, "Putting a man with such extremist views in a critical policy-making position sends entirely the wrong message to a Muslim world that is already skeptical about America's motives and intentions."
While American generals may treat war with terrorists as a sporting event, CAIR disparages generals like it's a sporting event. What exactly are mass murderers whose goal is the annihilation of America? Saints? To some liberals and their cohorts, perhaps, yes.
It is fascinating to contrast the opinion anti-American leftists express toward terrorists with their opinion on anything favorable to America. After the president's State of the Union address, Janeane Garofalo made an appearance on MSNBC to compare the inked fingers of Republicans, who dipped their fingers in ink prior to the State of the Union, to the Nazi salute and call it "disgusting." "The inked fingers and the position of them... as if they have solidarity with the Iraqis who braved physical threats against their lives to vote as if somehow these inked-fingered Republicans have something to do with that."
Amidst the numerous "as ifs," she attempted to call Republicans Nazis who had nothing to do with the Iraqi elections. Apparently, CAIR did.
The revulsion of liberals at the pro-American statements made by these generals is only accentuated by the generals' insinuations, or in some instances explicit statements, that some people are evil. It flies in the face of their theories on moral relativism; the essence of a military is in contradiction with relativism, as it is with most of socialism's other doctrines. Considering that, it's not hard to understand why leftists have struggled for so long to attenuate America's forces of defense and besmirch its leaders.
When Lt. Gen. James Mattis said, "guys like that ain't got no manhood left," he could have been speaking of American liberals. They've devolved to a point where they're incapable of distinguishing between good and evil, or even caring whether or not they are able. They instead denigrate the people who can, calling them "disturbing" and demanding apologies for their hateful beliefs.
It's reminiscent of a recent incident in Tampa, Florida. When a 14-year-old girl told her father and uncle that a man was stalking her, they accompanied her to the bus stop and found the man waiting there. When they told him to wait for the police, he attempted to leave and a scuffle ensued; the man was shoved to the ground. Neighbors saw the man being kicked when he attempted to get up; when one neighbor later discovered what it was about, he said he'd "have probably been out there kicking him too if I'd have known what was going on." Liberals were upset, but the father and uncle were not arrested. Considering how frequently victims are arrested in similar cases, they were lucky.
The point derived, however, stands; liberals will do whatever they can to ensure that quaint notions of "evil" and "Satan" remain on footing equal to their contradicting notions, such as virtue and God. They'll fight the military and its head figures most conspicuously, but if they must invade American neighborhoods and persecute individuals in order to promote the utter acceptance of their ideals, they're also willing to do that.
It's the willingness to destroy evil that allows virtue to exist and liberty to perpetuate. Without men like James Mattis and William Boykin, America's existence wouldn't be possible, and the preservation of harmony would be impossible.

smart kid.
"The last article I wrote on 2/5 has generated an amazing amount of hate mail. In the past 24 hours, I've had two people call me unattractive, observed approximately six death threats, and seen at least six times as many miscellaneous other profanity-laced insults directed at me. Check out http://patriotboy.blogspot.com/ and scroll down to see the blog entry and picture with an X on my forehead, and check out the comments. What's amusing is that I've only sent it to four of my 15 Websites. Thought you'd be interested in seeing it; I've already forwarded it to most of the other people I know..."

The kid's got game!
I agree with assessment. Liberals-not a real man among them.
I can see why they're upset. This is the religion that has shows on how to beat your wife, isn't it?
"We do not need generals who treat the grim business of war as a sporting event...."
Who says this general treats the business of war as a sporting event? Saying it's good or fun to get rid of bad guys has nothing to do with how he handles his job. Liberals think they can change reality by opening the mouths and spewing out their delusions. It must be some kind of genetic defect.
The man is driving down the road and stopping ahead of the kids. Who are screaming in fear as the cars race by. The kids would get near the car and the man would speed away and then stop. Making them catch up to him again.
Well, my dad and uncle Bobby see this happening and I see this happening and my dad looks at uncle Bobby and uncle Bobby says to my dad "get those kids, I'll be right back".
So my dad runs down to where the kids are and they are still screaming while their parents (their mother was in the car too) are a bit down the road, stopped. My did picks up the screaming kids and brings them up the driveway. I glance into the garage and see uncle Bobby putting something against the wall.
My dad is calming down the kids as their father stops at the end of the driveway and jumps out the car. He starts cussing at my dad who had a look on his face I had never seen before.
The next thing I see is uncle Bobby and I quickly figure out what he had in the garage. He was carrying a rifle and he steps up to the guy and shoves it into his belly. At that point the guy shuts up. My dad is just staring at him with another look I had never seen before.
The rifle my uncle has is a lever action and he pulls the lever down and then up in single quick move with one hand. Uncle Bobby says to the man in a low voice "Tell me you will never do that to those kids again or I'll pull the trigger". I thought the man would pee his pants but he looks right back at uncle Bobby and says exactly what uncle Bobby told him to say. At this point my mom and my aunt and the other women come out of the house. They all stop, look and seem to understand what was going on.
The man backs away, collects his kids, gets in his car and slowly drives away. Uncle Bobby and dad look at each other. Dad asks "is that loaded" and uncle Bobby says "heck, I don't even have bullets for it".
It was on that day that I first learned what evil is. In the years that followed I'd learn that we have what I call devoids on the Earth. People that look like people but are not. Best you never meet one.
uh huh, and sure enough, he was home schooled!! smart kid
Funny how the liberals who are so upset over the General's remarks appear to have no compunction about gleefully threatening death themselves.
Met a lot of them over my time and never minded it at all. In fact I always enjoyed dealing with them even when it was on their terms. But then, like General Mattis I'm a Marine too and I understand and am willing to do what needs to be done.
Semper Fi General.
Patriotism, character, and honor are the greatest threats to the liberals and their ideas.
Makes you feel real good to be conservative.
I remember once time I was pulling into a self-service gas station. At the same time an older fellow in a old truck was pulling in ahead of me. Some young guys in their early 20's tried to zip in in front of the truck but the fellow beat them to the pump.
The older fellow gets out of his truck and starts pumping gas into his truck. The young guys start mouthing off to him. The older guy does not say anything. They start calling him old fart and such things. He still does not say anything.
The punks don't seem to like the guy not reacting so they get out of their car and one approaches him. He just looks back and forth at them. And then real calm like the older guy stops pumping gas, turns around and then just kinda leans back on his truck and folds his arms. And not a word comes out of his mouth. The other punks get out of the car. There are four of them. They start saying things to him I won't post here. He just looks at them..
One of the kids says "Can't you talk you old bast**d? I'm going to kick your ass!" and he charges at the old fellow followed by his buddies.
Now I'm thinking that this fellow is going to get hurt and I start to open my door thinking I'd see what I might be able to do. I'm not sure what the older fellow did next but I had not taken a step and all four of the punks were on the ground. And bleeding. A couple badly. The first one was screaming and his nose was all messed up. A couple of the others were out cold and the last one was just rolling around howling and cussing and holding his arm. It looked like it was broken. The old fellow didn't say anything still. He just turns around, pumps the rest of his gas and walks up to the cashiers booth and pays his bill. The cashier is just wide-eyed and keeps saying "yes sir! yes sir!" as he hands back the change.
The old fellow walks over to his truck and as he opens the door he looks over at me and winks. Again, he does not speak.
As he drives away the glass door on his camper top is banging up and down on the top of the closed tailgate as he bounces over into the street. There are two stickers on it. One says "Semper Fi" and the other "U.S. MARINES". And you know what? That said it all!
After those Islamicists murdered the Christians in New Jersey, Rudy ought to document those death threats, get a private guard, and be very very careful.
