Good versus Evil. Get used to it.

Posted on 05/11/2004 4:55:45 PM PDT by Pukin Dog

I just watched the Nick Berg decapitation video. I watched it three times. I downloaded it, and I intend to watch it again and again and again. I am going to watch it until I am sure that I will never again forget the difference between Good and Evil. Now I am going to run my mouth and hope it does some good.

I have been meaning to write a post regarding the Iraqi Prisoner abuse scandal, and its relationship to the earlier LTC West issue, where I was in the extreme minority who felt that West should have been prosecuted and thrown out of the Army. Now, today’s video, I feel compelled to address these issues with you good folks. Recently I had the opportunity to talk to a couple of WWII veterans about their war and ours, and the differences in the US from then to now.

I got the sense that people from that earlier generation feel that they saved us and failed us at the same time. They saved us by winning the war, but they failed us in allowing us to forget why they were willing to fight and die for you and me in such numbers. They talked about signing up for the Army the day after Pearl Harbor, how there was no doubt in their minds about what they were doing, no one questioning the rightness of their cause or suggesting that the US deserved what happened to us that day.

On a trip from San Diego to Washington, I stopped at the Air Museum in Tillamook OR. Do yourself a favor and visit the place if you ever are in the area. It is inside a huge Blimp Hanger where Blimps were stored between missions patrolling the Pacific Coast during the early days of WWII. It is next to an airfield where an F-14 that was donated to the museum blew a tire trying to stop on their 500 ft runway. They made it. Inside that museum, there are aircraft and other displays that do a very good job reminding visitors of the sacrifices made by those who came before us.

I felt a bit of shame that at the time I was on my way to Everett WA to learn about the Boeing 777, instead of back in the Navy flying the Tomcat in defense of my country. There are displays of former aviators who lost their lives, their ribbons laid out next to their uniforms, with their pictures on the walls. Men who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that you and I could sit back tonight and argue whether Shack or Kobe can come back against the Spurs, as if that was all we needed to be concerned about tonight.

Today, instead of enjoying my time off, I am filled with rage about what was done to that civilian by those bastard in sheets so brave they could not show their faces while they cut, no they SAWED that young mans head off while he screamed in agony. More so, I am outraged by the performance of the popular media. I am without Fox News in my hotel room tonight, so I have been forced to watch CNN tell me over and over that Taguba said that the Prisoner Scandal was a “failure of leadership” and cut the tape before Taguba can be shown saying “from the Brigadier General on down”, in a blatant attempt to spin what the man said to appear to be an indictment of the Bush administration. I have drawn my conclusion: CNN is Evil.

I watched as much of today’s hearings as CNN would show where it appeared that they would cut away whenever a positive point was being made. I watched Senator Byrd and the other Democrats poke and poke and poke, looking for anything that would fuel anger against President Bush, in clear disregard of what the witnesses said. Senate Democrats are Evil. I can’t help but be reminded that there are people in this country who actively support these Senators. They vote for them over and over again. In my book, Ted Kennedy is a murderer, yet he sits there passing judgment on others as though he was saintly against a President he considers to be beneath him. Teddy Kennedy is Evil personified. I see the Democrats and Media passing judgment on our President and I think of what they might be saying were this May of 1942, instead of 2004. Does anyone doubt that they would be actively working against our men fighting WWII?

These are sick people. SICK. The fact that they hold office means that at least 40% of this country is made up of either sick or stupid people. I did not risk my life for 22 years in the Navy defending these people, but the rest of the nation that keeps them at bay. I hope I was defending those who can disagree with the strategy and actions of our President, yet respect his integrity and honesty. Nothing bothers me more than to link to Free Republic and see a gathering of so-called Conservatives bashing our President because they have some disagreement with his actions. There is never any context or perspective, just attack. We don’t consider the enormous responsibilities of his office, when the most important thing some of us have to do each day is let out the cat. Why can’t we disagree without disrespect?

The hardest decision I will make today will be where I eat dinner. I won’t come online to attack people who are tasked with saving my life from terrorism, no matter how much I may disagree with a tactic or idea. Call me Bush-bot, say I drank the Kool-aid, say whatever, but don’t assume that while you sit there with a coke and a smile, that you know what its like to be someone in the Bush Administration responsible for your American ass, before you rush off to participate in some Web poll because you cant stand it if that poll disagrees with you to the point where you don’t mind making money the site that produced the poll you so desperately want to lean your way. Even if that site is CNN or MSNBC, whose mission is to take away your independence. WTF are you doing?

Folks it is our turn. If America is to remain true to the nation that those who went before us wanted it to be, we will never forget what those on the other side of the aisle are trying to do to us. I remember not too long ago, under a Democrat president, when I did not know if my squadron was going to be allotted the fuel and maintenance money necessary to keep our pilots skills up to par. Flight hours were cut and cut again, while Bill Clinton was trying to find ways to give more of your money to PBS and the NEA so that they could respectively lie and offend us. There are Democrats in Congress who think we landed on Mars, who can’t get a credit card, who have never had a private sector job, who take great pride in taking your money and giving it to some loser who couldn’t spell cat if you spotted them the C and the T. That is their constituency. They are EVIL.

I have no doubt that Bush is going to win in November. I know that that opinion is not shared among all of us, but I don’t know why not, when it is up to us to make it happen. If Bush does NOT win, it will be our fault, because we will have decided that what is going on right now against us is acceptable. We will have decided that our opponents on the left are just well-meaning people who just disagree with us on the issues, instead of the evil bastards they happen to be. I don’t know if every evil person knows themselves to be evil, and I don’t care. All I know is that while Americans are roasted, and hung on bridges like overcooked brisket, and soldiers are shot at from places of worship, and a civilian’s head swinging from the fist of a coward in a mask, CNN, the DNC and liberals all over the world are trying to blame my President for everything wrong in the world, instead of the evil perpetrators committing these actions.

At the same time, we give ratings to Chris Matthews, watch CNN’s commercials, listen to Don Imus, stay up for Nightline, and wish Joe Scarborough success as he forgets where he came from, so he can serve his liberal masters and keep his job. This is the last night I stay in a hotel that does not have FoxNews available. I may be crazy, but I don’t want to pay to be propagandized. I don’t want to hear anymore about how scandalous it is to embarrass an Iraqi terrorist, when these networks won’t even show these terrorists killing one of our people. We are at war with the Democrats and the Media, and if we are to save ourselves from their goals, we must hurt them where they will feel it. Just don’t watch. Don’t listen, and for god’s sake DON’T POLL. Make the bastards earn their money by become fair and balanced.

I’ve got a lot more to say, but my fingers hurt. If I offended you, just wait, because I’ll be back with more. If you get a chance, watch the video. It will hurt and disgust you, but it will remind you of what we are up against.

I have a theory. I think that the masses that become and support Democrats, are the millions who did not make the cut for their football teams, they did not get to be cheerleaders, they are the unathletic, the unproductive, the flawed underachievers who grow up angry at those who make it in life.

These people worship Hollywood and those who have the life they wished they could have. They support lots of stupid causes because they need to feel important to someone. They support the party that helps them hide how much they suck, by removing achievement from everyone else. They hate their lives, so they hate you too. If you drive an SUV, they have a special place in hell for you, because you could crush their VW Bus with the flowers on it whenever you want.

"Anyone in America that voted for Ted Kennedy needs an ass-kickin."

I think of this a lot. Who are these morally confused people who vote for Ted Kennedy? They just cannot be Americans. They need to be horse whipped.

No, that is a policy issue, when it comes to the law. It is a a priori judgment about when "protectable" life begins, and when it deserves and by how much, the protection of the law. The evil is the usurpation of the law by SCOTUS. One needs to be clear here about what is evil and what is a policy disagreement, when it comes to the fashioning of the law, in the public square.

Karpinski may not do time, but with a Dishonorable Discharge she will suffer enough.

She lost all respect from me when she went on a media PR binge blaming everyone but herself. I would imagine she is already a pariah, among her fellow officers.

Excellant post, well thought out, and eloquent.

"I never thought I'd be saying this, but I hope you all get buckets of blood."

We just got back. We (my squadron) isn't going back until next Summer, barring anything unforeseen.

However, some of my buds came back with Air Medals with "V" device from the last one. They managed to dodge a SAM with a 40-year old, 4-engined prop airplane.

They want her ass, son. That I know. She knows it too. Watch for Karpinski to begin her nationwide sympathy tour very soon. Larry King, Imus, Oprah and more. Watch her drag out her uniform, practice her salute and wrap her ass in the flag like a pro. Can you tell I don't like the bitch?

You should SEE the looks of hatred I get from people in Volvos or Echos with Dim stickers when I blast by them in my Navy-blue Camaro SS! Worth every penny I paid for it.

It's already begun. I'm watching the Senate Armed Forces Committee reply on CSPAN and I saw Senator Clinton quote Karpinski from a news interview she had done. The rehabilitation begins with the Dixie mafia.

You need to be prepared for the trouble it will cause.

My brother is a unioin electrician, and gets his news from radio or the union newsletter. He sounds like my late dad, and it is hard to disagree with him. One of my sisters is a democrat and no matter wht you say, she refuses to be believe the truth.

I have kept relatively silent because I don't like family fights. No more.

The outcome of this war will effect my grandchildren. I refuse to give in. I don't want to think about my granddaughters in burkhas.

"Who are these morally confused people who vote for Ted Kennedy?"

Believe it or not, there are constituents of his up here in New England that will tell you, with total conviction and belief, that he is not only a patriotic American, but that he is a conservative who supported Reagan.

You wouldn't believe the face he puts on up here.

He has the Kennedy name, which in Mass. confers upon him a halo because of his brothers' support here.

He professes Catholicism, which earns votes even though he's the furthest thing from it.

He's Irish, and that's all some of them need.

He knows EXACTLY how to play to the folks up here.

"One needs to be clear here about what is evil and what is a policy disagreement,"

Abortion is evil. If you have a policy that permits it, that is evil. So the policy and the abortion are evil and the person who promotes them is doing evil.
