I'd be more careful about equating 'liberal' with 'anti-military'. It was the very liberal LBJ who sent combat troops into Vietnam. His mentor FDR was a good role model for him in this regard. The ineffectual Jimmy Carter served in the Navy. Liberals like John Chaffee, Fritz Hollings, and Bob Kerry (Bob, not John) were in combat, as of course was John Kennedy. Daniel K. Inouye was badly wounded while serving in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. There are and have been a good deal more political liberals in uniform than Rush and Sean and Laura seem to realize. Since none of those three served they might want to tone down this particular argument.

Excellent article, Chris. I forwarded it to a few people in the 'Doubting Thomas' category.

Onyx, thanks for the ping.

I am not interested in idolizing older democrat vets in Congress who vote against our troops and America's interests and survival.

LBJ, Hollings, Kerrey, Chaffee, Kerry and all the others stab out troops in the back every time.

A few like Joe Lieberman stand up for our military.

When I see a FR post defending these dem vets on a thread I instantly know what and who I am reading.

Scroll down and ignore them.

There are regular FR member/posters here that are professionals working for the DNC, MoveOn.org, ANSWER, Kerry & Co., CPUSA and of course the ever present contrarian hobbyist GW haters and those more Reagan than Reagan who expect their personal agendas 100% yesterday.

Some of these "FReepers" are long time early sign-up members and often talk like staunch Republicans or Conservatives.

Very mature, and always willing to stay home or vote for Mr. X and cost Republican candidates a win and they enjoy doing it.

Whether a stealth "sleeper" or merely a deluded renegade, they both distract and divide and are not your dear friends.

You do not analyze a rattlesnake or a terrorist or a leftie or a contrarian.

You either avoid them or.......

Stay focused.

Do not get distracted.

Like last weeks Kentucky Derby we may have to run in the mud but the focused horse and rider will win.


Never run with wounded or sick horses.

Your first point freedom isn't cheap, is right on the head. If freedom is so expensive, and our military personal, are a precious commodity that should never be wasted, but only used with the utmost discretion. Why wasn't the Secretary of state consulted before the decision was made to go to war. Why was Prince Abdula told before him. That bothers me, on many levels, and I didn't have to hear that from the liberal press. That Joesph Wilson guy is a nut case, but why his wife sold out! She was a CIA operative, if the military is gold the CIA is diamond,it smacks of treason to me, and I don't like it. Sure I could be like chicken little and run around screaming "the liberal press is falling", or just believe that if I ask questions and don't tow the party line, I must be a traitor, or God forbid "really a closet liberal". "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark", and "truth will out". I'll be watching and waiting, and in the mean time, I'm digging for the facts, "just the facts".
