I would have never thought in my wildest dreams that my confrontation with Chris Matthews would be picked up by my fellow Conservatives, but I feel that Matthews peddles disinformation and spin for those who are left of center and over the last four years I have watched with bitterness as those like Matthews have targeted very military that protects their right to speak.
Matthews thought that he would set up Ms. Ann Coulter in an ambush when he had Ms. Elizabeth Edwards to call in and demanded a stop to what she termed as personal attacks against her husband, but her husband and his fellow Liberals have attacked those members of the military who have no microphone or camera to defend their honor and integrity. John Edwards has often spoken about two Americas, but it seems he wants two Americas himself in which he can attack, attack and attack not only their political opponents he disagrees with, but those in the military as well without need for standards or facts.
As a veteran I took it upon myself to speak out for those who are out fighting and dying for this nation. It does not matter that I no longer wear the uniform, the fact remains that no matter where I go and no matter what I do, every veteran and member of the military is my brother or sister and I refuse to allow them to come under personal attacks by those who have never worn uniform or who have chosen politics above their one time oath to protect this nation. Matthews is political spin-master for those types who have always looked down their noses at the military. These were the same types who attacked our brave military members, who fought in Vietnam and sought to shame them into believing that their served was not just or honorable and that in the end they lost the war that they were asked to fight. As the son of a Vietnam Veteran I refuse to quietly standby and allow what happen to my father’s generation to happen to mine as they fight and die in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Mr. Matthews sought to blame the Commander In Chief for the mistakes of a few and this shows just how out of touch with reality he and those like him are to the everyday tasking that falls to those who wear the uniform. If Mr. Matthews feels that the Commander-In-Chief is to blame for everything that has gone wrong in the War on Terror, then Mr. Matthews should file to run for the Office of President of the United States and stop hiding behind the cameras of MSNBC.
Mr. Matthews also showed total disrespect for the service of Congressmen Duncan Hunter, who is a Vietnam Veteran and this was reason enough for me to confront him, but for the wife of a politician to use his show to demand that we afford her husband some type of free pass, while he and those liberals like him attack brave Americans who are doing what he would not do, will not be permitted to happen on my watch and I will continue to confront those like Matthews as long as GOD breathes life into my body for I am a warrior and fighting is what I do best.
Gosh, if I were a mindless Liberal Journalist, I’d accuse you of only being black on the outside.
;)
You, sir, are a great American! God Bless You!
Thank you for your service to our country and for standing up to such a one as CM.
Been there and done that.
you’re awesome Kevin!
Oh there ya go. It’s on post #17!
Never heard about you (I have lived a sheltered life) but I respect and like your screen name.
“I will continue to confront those like Matthews as long as GOD breathes life into my body for I am a warrior and fighting is what I do best.”
God bless you, sir!!
Chrissy Matthews? He spent four years writing speeches for Jimmy Carter for cryin’ out loud.
You’re awesome! I don’t think Mr Matthews saw that coming!
YOU SHOULD RUN FOR OFFICE!
you have my vote
Chris Matthews is an old world fool in a new suit. And quite a disgrace to the College of the Holy Cross, as well.
No I scare too many Democrats and allot of Republicans.
That was so great. I recognized your voice and was so excited to see someone standing up to Matthews.
The funny thing is...you have completed a one of the things I have always wanted to do in my life before I die. I envy you a great deal at this moment.
Thank you so much trueblackman for speaking from our hearts as well as yours. We stand solidly behind you.
It’s a horrid thing they did.
