A letter from Iraq.. from the brother of a friend.Last month many of us received an email from one of my mom’s friends in California, the text of which is attached at the bottom of this email.(this text I eliminated as very long as you get the point from the summary here) The email revolved around a speech that Sen. John Glenn gave in response to the so-called problems that we are having here in Iraq. A few days later we received a rebuttal from the son of my mom’s friend; let’s call him Mr.B. This rebuttal made me angry at first, not because any of it was true, but because I have pledged my life in defense of the Unites States, and her interests. This includes the rights of people to demean the work I do for my commander in chief, who I feel is a very just and righteous man. I was planning to let it go and ignore it, but a few things have happened recently and I feel that I need to respond to this email.

One of the things that happened is that I have been reading an outstanding book by Ann Coulter. It is called “How to Talk to a Liberal (if you must)”. Conservatives are surrounded by liberals who spew out silly arguments, and we ignore them and keep quiet in the name of keeping the peace. This is horse crap. In the same way that evil succeeds when good men do nothing, liberals succeed because conservatives don’t put them in their places with the facts. There needs to be a whole lot more, “I’m sorry but that comment is just plain wrong, and here’s why…” going on.

The second thing that happened is a piece of terrorist propaganda that we recently intercepted. As I read the translation, I was thinking, “Where have I read this before?” I finally realized that this terrorist was using the same lame arguments as I had received in an email last month. I dug through my deleted items until I found the email and was startled by the similarities. They were not the same document, but this terrorist had definitely been reading from some liberal’s playbook.

For these reasons, (and my leg hurts and I am not going to go for a run, so I have a little time), I will respond to the email I received and hopefully motivate all you conservatives out there to stand up for yourselves and not let the liberals get away with their loopy, emotional, and false arguments.

The left and our media are always our enemies best friend. The enemy can never achieve on the battlefield what our leftist defeatists spew for them.

The hate America crowd has friends in the media and this government. SAD
