As a lad growing up in Thomaston, Maine, in the 1960s, I loved studying myths and legends and was always interested in learning facts about those myths and legends of which most people were unaware. So you can imagine my amusement each time liberals show America what they are really about, which so often these days are hate, violence and the damaging of the Bill of Rights and Constitution in general, with free speech being a prime target within the latter. It wasn’t that long ago that liberals were believed to be non-violent defenders of the Constitution who shunned hate.
Today the tiger’s stripes are in full view.
Liberals cringe when they think of Iraqis enjoying freedoms they didn’t have just over two years ago, and they become angry when the news reports a major reduction of attacks on U.S. troops along with a corresponding reduction of casualties. Liberals did not want the Bush doctrine to succeed, especially in the Middle East where most of the people are brown-skinned Muslims. As freedom spreads through the region, liberals grimace and curse as conservatives point to democracy marching into lands where once tyranny was pandemic.
And liberals know that the more freedom spreads in the Middle East and elsewhere in Asia, the more the liberal message of oftentimes race-based hate and violence will be called into question by Americans who are seeing the left in its true light.
“Camel jockeys” with rights are a liberal’s worst nightmare.
More and more Americans are recognizing the real left and the violent, hateful liberals who make it up. In Denver recently, three leftists who were about to attempt to strip President Bush of his right to free speech were caught before they could carry out their plan of disrupting a gathering of people who had come to hear the president speak. The liberals were ejected from the event and are now angry that they were caught and prevented from violating the 1st Amendment rights of a fellow American. The leftist Denver Post is calling for the heads of the Republicans who caught the hate mongers before their anti-1st Amendment plan could be put into action. Incredibly, the fish-wrap daily says it was wrong for someone to have prevented the leftists from preventing a conservative American from exercising his free-speech rights.
Can you say “irony” right after you say “hypocrisy?”
The liberals, encouraged by the notoriety their Marxist poster boy Ward Churchill has garnered of late, have now taken to threatening and physically attacking conservative speakers like Ann Coulter, Bill Kristol, David Horowitz, et al. This is classic liberal hate, whose manifesto calls for assaulting those with whom they disagree. Last night, Alan Colmes of FOX News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes,” joked at how Horowitz was assaulted by a liberal at a recent college speech.
Although I am now quite non-violent (I haven’t beaten anyone up in about a decade), I know that, because of my previous life as a Marine for 20 years on active duty, such an attack on me while giving a speech would instantly result in my liberal would-be assailant waking up in a coma. I, for one, will not allow myself to be assaulted by anyone, as I have both a legal right and moral obligation to defend myself, and said defense will not be with a chocolate-cream pie, but a rapid combo of flailing limbs and appendages. Rather than run off or just take the hit, I encourage all conservatives to vigorously defend themselves against anyone who assaults them.
What is especially entertaining is how the liberals will now decry my promise to defend myself against them.
There’s that “irony” word again.

I aim to do exactly that Bob.
Good advice & including verbal assault.
Gunny, this Master Chief concurs.

I'm with Gunny Bob all the way on everything he said, except...how does one wake up in a coma?
LOL!
Master Chief:
Fair winds and following seas, shipmate.
Gunny Bob, out
Marine humor...
My father was Air Force, my brother is Army (in Afghanistan) so maybe that's why it didn't have a familiar ring.
Army sayings that I'm aware of via my brother:
Soup sandwich (= big, jacked up mess)
Kank (= to cancel an exercise, event, etc.)
I'm drawing a blank right now, others will come to me later.
