War, Hell, and a Democratic President
The last time I checked, war was still hell, and American soldiers were still risking their lives at the orders of our commander-in-chief.
But the day a Democrat became president, daily body counts suddenly went MIA, Code Pink protesters went AWOL, and D.C.’s playground politics took over the MSM’s daily propaganda bubble. As if on cue from some hunch-backed news controller for the party, gruesome stories from the front lines disappeared.
The only flurry of war coverage in the past two years occurred when General Stanley McChrystal went to the press himself, and forced his requested Afghan troop surge onto the front pages and the airwaves. Due to the general’s willingness to sacrifice his own career for our country, both the president and his media brigade had to briefly cover the war.
But lickety-split, the forced eruption of war news was once again buried in the back pages as soon as President Obama made his dutiful announcement on a temporary troop surge for Afghanistan and its companion withdrawal timetable. A tiny flurry of commentary followed the president’s decision, with the left upset that the peacemaker-in-chief was actually choosing to escalate the war LBJ-style, and some on the right saying that under the pre-announced timetable paradigm immediate withdrawal made more sense.
As soon as the press could, however, they dropped the war news like a hot potato, obviously not wanting to further alienate the president’s own base and definitely not wanting the nation to know that in the two years since Obama took the helm, war deaths have been the worst in the whole nine years of fighting in Afghanistan. Unmanned drones are still striking targets, and unfortunately still killing civilians in the war-torn country. But one would need to sleuth websites run by military heroes to find out about all this.
So much for a noble, truthful press.
During the midterm election season, the Democratic Congress’ propensity for politicizing our national security went all but unmentioned.
Harry “this war is lost” Reid (D-NV) just won re-election to the U.S. Senate, and reminding voters of his traitorous aid and comfort to our enemies in Iraq barely made a dent in his home-state support. Representative Pete Stark (D-CA), who has the disgraceful distinction of having proclaimed from the floor of our once-august people’s house that Congress was funding a war so that America’s finest “could get their heads blown off for the president’s [Bush's] amusement,” was reelected with an astonishing 71.6% of the vote.
The Democratic Party, whose own elected representatives voted overwhelmingly to authorize President Bush to go to war in both Afghanistan and Iraq, shamelessly politicized our war effort from the moment Nancy and Harry took control of Congress in 2007.
Suffice to say, ALL Democrats and the MSM in particular are slimy, evil and despicable.
There are no exceptions. But that is old news. Nothing new here. Screw those *ssholes.
Let me guess, vet, brain injury.
Um, no, but I’ll give you two more guesses.
TROLL, DIPWEED
brain injury indeed @$$hole
You were doing great until the end. Do we really still have troops dying in Iraq, other than by accident? I thought we had not seen a combat casualty there since Nov, 2008? Not that we’d hear about it from the Press anyway, but still.
Yeah if only they wouldn’t hide the bodies of our returning dead from public view, we’d get a clear sense of the toll this war is exacting.
Get real, dimwit. That unjust war, as you call it, kept your sorry ass safe for 8 years.
That “toll” in Iraq, idiot, was 57 dead in 2010. To put that in perspective, 58 Americans were killed in Mexico this year.
A two-fer for you and vet . . . it’s not about the time frame or the presence of war. It’s about the approach to information re: Malone’s comment “I thought we had not seen a combat casualty there since Nov, 2008? Not that we’d hear about it from the Press anyway . . . ”
And if you insist on timeframe, if you don’t think 57 dead American military isn’t a “toll” then you’re less of an American than I thou . . . well, than you claim to be.
Sensei doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the death toll of soldiers. That disingenuous creep just uses that issue as a phony pretext to criticize Bush.
In fact, Sensei resents and dislikes soldiers, recognizing that they had the balls to do their duty, while a lazy, wussy and useless Sensei stayed home, watching TV and stuffing its face with junk food. Sensei is a loser, and that fool knows it.
If what you say is true, and there is plenty of evidence that it is, what better example of the sliminess of a Democrat could you find in accordance with Vet’s comments at #1 above? I often wonder if Sensei realizes how vile and repulsive he or she is.
Some here know this already, but I have a little purple trinket on the shelf behind me that says otherwise. Keep assuming things. It’s a lot easier than actually taking action based on your principles. As for being a lazy useless wussy while others did their duty, I think you meant Cheney (and Limbaugh and Hannity and Levin and the Palins).
(chuckling here)
See? Now there you go again; criticizing a Republican on contrived and bogus pretexts.
Inasmuch as Dick Cheney served several terms in Congress and two terms as VPOTUS, any rational person would recognize that he served this country above and beyond the call of duty, protecting this country in a higher capacity than any grunt could.
As for Rush Limbaugh, he has accomplished a helluvalot more than you have and his opinions influence the opinions of millions of other people, which is more than you can say about the nonsensical comments which you make here. Indeed, compared to Rush Limbaugh, you’re an invisible nobody who hasn’t accomplished anything significant or worthwhile in your entire lifetime.
As for Sean Hannity, I won’t comment, because he gets on my nerves, too.
BTW, with a Purple Heart and a dollar, you can buy a small cup of coffee at 7-11. I’m not impressed, especially since, in knowing you as I do, I’m sure that there were questionable circumstances under which you received such an award, and you know it, too, as does that other phony, Senator Kerry, who finessed medals that he didn’t deserve either. In other words, dimwit, that particular lame defense doesn’t cut it with me. Try it on someone else here.
Don’t look now, Sensei, but Brian just ripped you a new *sshole.
Brian (AKA Reality Check Here) and your beard Diane,
“(Cheney) served in a higher capacity than any grunt could.”
He was a serial deferment coward who got on the government dole early and never left, save for a brief vacation spent setting up the corporate wing of the Republican war machine. He’s a coward and a fraud. Lest you forget, when told that 70 percent of the American people thought the Iraq War was a bad, misguided idea, he said, “So?”
Limbaugh dodged the draft because of a pilonidal cyst on his ass. I’ve had a pilonidal cyst, which required a three-minute drainage procedure in my doctor’s office. It didn’t keep me out of the military. Limbaugh is a raging hypocrite, a whoremonger, a closeted gay junkie. The fact that he influences millions of morons is no recommendation in my view.
Sean Hannity is one of those morons, as are Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin, and you, apparently.
As for a Purple Heart and a dollar getting you a cup of coffee, it looks like you won’t be buying coffee anytime soon. Tell you what, you get your boys and have them gather up whatever it is they’re most proud of, maybe a Glenn Beck T-shirt, and come meet my friends who have earned that Purple Heart you so derisively dismiss. Let’s have a hootenanny. Let’s see who walks away with Diane.
Candyass.
BTW, Diane, that’s how you tear a new one.
Dianne and Brian, do you want to have it on your conscience when your heckling of Sensei gets that whacko to go postal on us?
You forgot the first rule, Brian: All Democrats are compulsive, accomplished and pathological liars; ergo, you can be absolutely certain that sensei has neither a purple heart, nor any military service, nor any friends, much less any who are purple heart recipients. What is hilarious, though, is that, in his delusional state of mind, obviously that kook is having weird fantasies about Dianne; part of his insecure compulsion, presumably, to show you and the rest of us what a manly man he is. I’m sure that he is getting Dianne soooo HOT. LOL
First of all, it’s not Brian, it’s Reality Check Here. Second, the fact that you can’t imagine anyone with a military background disagreeing with the idiocy the passes for analysis around here shows you to be incapable of a logical and reasoned response. Instead you’d rather blare on with presumptions and insults. Obviously you won’t be buying a cup of coffee anytime son either. Why not? Because you’re clearly in the camp of chicken hawks who think “thank you for your service” is all the commitment required to send the rest of us off to fight for and defend your sorry asses.
Now about that pathological liar stuff . . .

So before you try to mess with me or mine, and you need to transform yourself into a man, and that’s a long way from what you are now – a piece of leftover pie with a flaky patriotic crust and microwaved gooey constitutional filling. Oh, sorry, that’s Dianne I’m thinking about.
Hail Rush. Go Sarah! (cue EmEl)
I have not noticed it because I don’t watch the troika of news, ABC, NBC and CBS. But all this should not be surprising to anyone when we consider that the left went all out to keep us out of WW2 until Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941. Then they began the drum beat to get us in. We need to remember that Walter Duranty’s political descendants are now in control of the major networks’ newsrooms now. And yes, dead is dead. Thank God for those young, and not so young, men and women that are in the thick of things fighting for the rest of us!
OK, I’m going to use the word. (Not the one that invokes Godwin’s Law.)
Viet. Nam.
As long as the Democrats controlled everything, Vietnam was a “just and necessary” war. (Never mind that there is no evidence they had a plan to actually win it.) As soon as Nixon became President, followed by Ford, the Democrats couldn’t wait to use the war as a weapon against us. They used it to justify gutting the military, and then forced a cut-and-run which left the people of South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia to the dubious mercies of the likes of Vo Nguyen Giap and Pol Pot.
The “Boat People” never had a chance to “fall off the radar scope”- the Dems never let them register a return to begin with. As for Cambodia’s “killing fields”, they only acknowledged them when Hollywood wanted to make a buck off it.
Now that the Dems have what they defined as “the right war in the right place” in AFPAK, they are acting exactly as they did in 1969-75; they are hell-bent on handing victory to the enemy. But only after they have used the most irrational Rules Of Engagement (ROE) they can dream up in a bong-induced haze to inflict the maximum casualties possible on… our own troops.
The reason is simple. Given a choice between homicidal mystics, with or without a veneer of Marxism, and Western civilization, “progressives” will side with the mystics every time.
Doing so while simultaneously harming our soldiers makes them feel virtuous- they are “willing to sacrifice for peace”. This sounds good, and sounding good is the only thing they really care about, other than power. As for the “sacrifice”, it is never them; it is always our soldiers, and anyone in a foreign land foolish enough to believe that our word, friendship and honor will survive a change in who’s in charge.
Telling the Taliban exactly when we will leave, while simultaneously turning our troops into targets, tells them that they have allies in high places, over here. Those allies may regard the Taliban as “useful idiots”, but it’s the other way around. And once more, we see that the “enlightened elite’” are just so incredibly smart that they never learn from experience.
As for the war falling off the MSM’s radar now that The One is running things, well, according to them the homeless miraculously vanish every time a Democrat is in the Oval Office, too.
As Orwell said, “The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.”
clear ether
eon
Wow. Thanks for that. You’re correct, and to my shame I never picked up on it. Had no idea how sleezy the MSM is. Creepy sleezy.
When was the last time you heard Obama say ANYTHING about Afghanistan? When was the last time he gave a major policy speech on it, let alone give a major speech telling us what progress was being made there? Has he given a speech to Congress stating what progress he expects to make in Afghanistan over the next year, let alone what our major strategy there is? In fact, all we get is confusion out of this White House. Are we now staying in Afghanistan until 2014, or is it 2015 and beyond? If you listened to the press briefings out of the White House, you wouldn’t even know we were at war in Afghanistan. Yet people are dying in Afghanistan on almost a daily basis. Next to Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam, this has to be one of the worst wartime presidents in American history, and the public is beginning to realize it.
Dear Kyle-Ann,
Thanks so much for writing this. You have put into words what I have been thinking about for quite some time. When I talk to my friends–those who rely only on the mainstream media for their news–about how tough it is in Afghanistan right now, and how the media is not telling them what is really going on, they look at me with stunned faces. Apparently they are of the belief that with President Obama in charge, everything is now sunshine and lollipops.
Most folks don’t give the wars a second thought anymore… and it angers me like nothing else ever has. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines continue to fight and die for our freedom, and our mainstream press, and the Democrats no longer want to talk about it. They should be ashamed, but I’ve learned a long time ago that most Democrats feel no shame. To them the ends justify the means, no matter how despicable the means might be.
Marine Mom,
Many talking heads may have conveniently forgotten about our troops now that there is no political ammo to gain bashing Bush, but I wanted you to know that millions of American have not.
If it means anything, our nightly prayers are said not only for your child, but for you and your family. My family recognizes sacrifices of not just our soldiers, but the loved ones they left behind. Words can not express my appreciation adequately.
But you are not alone.
Tex-Your words are eloquent as I felt a gust of affection for the Marine’s Mom. Count me as part of the millions of Americans who pray each night/day for our military and their families. Kyle-Ann, keep writing and again thank you for your insightful opinions. PM-great writers and a great blog. #1 hit for me.
Although it has been quite transparent what has been happening here, thank you for reminding us.Perhaps all the outlets should be reminded ?
Apparently the emotions concerning our troops are a mile wide and an inch deep and then only where politcal gain can be made. The shallowness and hypocrisy of so many of these news presenters and organizations has been brought up on other fronts as well-just ask Phyllis Chesler.
It never bothered me to pay homage to our fallen soldiers and this practice shouldn’t have ceased. Are the men and women dying today less than those that came before ?
The left presents more of a threat to America than the all the terrorist in the world.
Muslim terrorists from the Middle East aren’t my family’s worst enemies.
Democrats right here in this country are my family’s very worst enemies.
Kudos:
Exactly.
Whenever wackos Ditch Digger and Mr. Lucky agree with you, you know that you should reconsider your perhaps too extreme position on an issue.
Brian, the self-appointed arbiter of PM posts and real-world douchebag. Your Sensei, forget what I said. Keep ripping BRIAN, AKA Douchebag, a new one.
Okay, you sneaky little coward, I’ll fight your battle for you.
But (to paraphrase Mel Gibson) first you will have to blow me.
You ask too much Kyle Anne.
DO you really think that persons in the mainstream media as NY Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN et al, the elite universities, the repellent “comedians” who can do nothing but insult, have human traits of compassion, honour, adherence to a recognisable morality, or a general trust and insistence on truth / evidence of fact they constantly prate for themselves
Methnks they doth protest too much.
No these persons are incapable of making independent judgments against or even slightly reserved about the directions from on high. These best and brightest, these intellectual elite, these arbiters of morality. These fraudulent,intellectually dishonest, these soldiers of the dark side of humanity who bend the knee and bow the head to any self-proclaimed destructive saviour in their hatred toward their fellow men, who are so beneath them.
The most blatant disrespect for their fellows that they call themselves “democrats” as if they have some understanding of the meaning of the word. FRAUDS , all of them. They expect and get from their like and wannabees a following, who seek salvation at the hands of their fraudulent saviours. Raised on high by them and their ilk these many decades in their satanic mass.
The boy in The White House is NOT A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT, but, A DEMOCRAT president; There is a big diffrence
Spoken like a true ignorant uneducated on-the-dole racist redneck child-molesting wife-beating DUI cracker. But don’t expect anyone to call you out on it here.
I resent that …, you bald-headed, cross-eyed, hook-nosed, toothless, flappy-chested, pot-bellied, lard-assed, bow-legged, pidgeon-toed goober.
White belt – keep your personal regrets / reflections on your own life to yourself. We’re not interested but good luck overcoming all that.
Here’s a tissue to wipe the foam off your mouth.
Carry on, fool!
Oh, no Cybergramps, just because you call black folk boy ain’t no reason to get your dander up. Ain’t none of your friends gonna give it no never mind. Hey, I heared a good one the other day, you might want to include it in your repertwar – bluegums. He he! Don’t that beat all? i tell ya.
Your Sensei,
I still smell the stench of Praetorian in your posts.
He is jumping up and down, waving his arms and screaming to get attention again.
Won’t someone talk to him or pat him on his head, so he’ll go away and we can get rid of him.
WHO’S SENSEI?
You are displaying exactly the type of ‘sensei’ I sized you up to be; Carry on, fool.
Nah, he forgot to call himself “Your Sensei”.
Every now and then I remark to anti-war family, friends, and co-workers that we all heard plenty of the 1000 death increments when Bush was president…why not now? Are troop deaths worth less under a Democrat president? Is that it?
The Left is fond of asking where Tea Partiers were when Bush was running deficits which were only a fraction the size of Obama’s. OK, fair question. So is asking about the sudden silence of the fraudulent and opportunist ‘anti-war’ movement.
Fair also to ask why critics of the last administration were fawned over by the press, while critics of this administration are tried and convicted in the media, held up to public scrutiny and ridicule, and threatened with investigation and harrassment.
Yes, there are a lot of obvious double standards. Ironies abound. If I had a dollar for every time during the past year and a half I’ve said, “If Bush had done this, you’d never hear the end of it.”
I thought it was Dubya, Cheney and Ashcroft who were supposed to be building a police state and shredding the Constitution. But instread it’s the Obama administration with the shadow cabinet of unvetted czars, asserting power over broad sectors of the economy, trashing the legal rights of auto company bond holders, naming, demonizing and threatening political opponents, strong-arming unread and unpopular legislation through Congress with bribes and exclusions, using health scare deform to gain access to personal financial information, refusing FOIA requests at the SEC, and implementing intrusive and abusive searching of air travelers.
I could go on. But I guess it’s not tyranny when THEY do it.
“I could go on. But I guess it’s not tyranny when THEY do it.”
So, it WAS tyranny when Bush was doing ALL those things you just mentioned, and more? That’s the corner conservatives live in – you can’t claim ANY moral high ground because your history prevents it. Grow up and face the truth.
Congratulations – you missed his point completely!
I’m sure that loony rant made perfect sense to you.
But it sure won’t make sense to any rational person.
IF it was tyranny when Bush Co. was doing it then why doesn’t the left consider it tyranny now? That is the slop pit you liberals live in…your previous claims of moral high ground are shattered by your current actions. Grow up and face the truth or not…I could not care less. We’re on to you.
Here you go, quick and easy – undeniable:
IF it WASN’T tyranny when Bush Co. was doing it then why DOES the right consider it tyranny now? That is the slop pit you conservatives live in…your CURRENT claims of moral high ground are shattered by your PREVIOUS actions.
We’re onto ya, you betcha.
We’re??
Yeah right. We’re. We’re.
We’re.

$200 million per day to travel, could that be possible?
war needs to be horrible lest we grow too fond of it
in those instances when all other routes are futile we go to war
and when this happens there needs to be complete and utter annihilation of the enemy
we havent gone the annihilation route since ww2 and it is no coincidence that our military has suffered because of it– idiotic rules of engagement impede the very thing that war needs accomplished— swift, unmerciful, uncompromising destruction
Just like all the homeless people that vanished the day Clinton moved into the White House in 1992. The homeless were all over the news in the two prior, Republican, administrations.
Not only are Vinny’s questions legit Sensei (the most inappropriate moniker I’ve read in a good while), but throughout this thread and many others, I have noted not only are you incapable of answering the most simply of questions, but apparently are still living the one glaring lie.
So I’ll state the truth for you.
On Nov. 2nd, not only were you shellacked in the election, but Obama, your political persuasion, your philosophy, and your version of the truth were summarily “refudiated.”
Apparently, you missed the results…
Psssst, actually, little “Tex” Taylor is in Rhode Island.
The media, those who are generally referred to as “main stream,” will never “hang their heads in shame” because they are devoid of the emotion.
Military intelligence is an oxymoron. Military service is where young men and women go as a last resort because they lack the intelligence to do anything else, unlike the narcissists who, by virtue of their “intellectual superiority” and indoctrination into the exclusive club of self described intellectual elites become journalists, inordinately rich entertainers and liberal democrats whose destiny is to take control of a corrupt system of government by any means necessary.
They consider their success the result of their defiance and disdain for America, the land where the opportunity for success flourishes but the country they consider to be the root cause of every evil perpetrated around the world and all opposition to it, violent or otherwise is totally justified and worthy of compassion and understanding. America is a “terrorist” nation; its enemies are “freedom fighters.”
Anything these elites do that can further America’s transformation to a “Socialist paradise” from an “evil, racist, imperialist, capitalist, military industrial enterprise” is completely justified. Towards this end the evils that are conservatism, the Constitution, Capitalism, the free market, profit and the notion of individual freedom and liberty from which arose the most successful society in the history of the world must now be destroyed. Success of this magnitude coupled with the coexistence of extreme wealth and poverty is inherently evil. A redistribution of wealth is of paramount importance and, in typical intellectual fashion, no thought about the future ramifications of that misguided policy. It’s the intentions that are of paramount importance, not the results.
America and all it represents to the rest of us, the so called “rank and file,” the “exploited,” the “oppressed,” the “naive,” the “ignorant, gun toting, bible clinging rubes” desperately in need of what only the intellectual elite can provide, is in deep trouble. We will either allow ourselves to be destroyed or recognize that this is an existential problem that took decades to develop and will likely take decades to correct but not without the active participation of the American people. Long live the Tea Party and its offshoots.
“Military intelligence is an oxymoron. Military service is where young men and women go as a last resort because they lack the intelligence to do anything else”
A nasty, ugly lie (eagerly promoted by leftists).
Don’t believe me? Try to get your kid admitted to Annapolis, West Point or Colorado Springs.
The US military has a higher level of education than the average American- higher rates of high school graduation (near-100%), bachelor’s degrees, and master’s degrees; the Air Force has a higher percentage of PhD’s than the American public. The military has lower levels of criminality, substance abuse, domestic violence and suicide (despite the agitprop on that subject).
And I personally resent that “lack the intelligence” smear, as a military veteran with off-the-charts Stanford-Binet and multiple degrees from first-tier universities.
Exactly but not to hear the liberal elite tell it. Remember John Kerry’s “botched joke” about your being sent to Iraq if you don’t keep up your studies.
But perhaps it wasn’t clear in my narrative that “Military intelligence” is an oxymoron to the liberal mindset, not mine.
To be fair, I also haven’t seen much war coverage in the Wall Street Journal or on FOX News (to be fair, with FOX I mainly watch the commentary shows, not the news broadcasts). We can’t blame this on the liberal media alone. Perhaps we, the news consumers, are part of the problem.
True enough, Kyle-Anne.
Apparently, the lapdog media has lost interest in counting “grim milestones”, but the Democratic gainsay against BOTH fronts operates as a necklace of grim millstones around their necks.
It is true that the Keynesian Disequilibrium was the executioner’s sword for over 100 state and federal office seekers with the Scarlet “D” attached to their names, but, that was not the only charge against them and they were found guilty on all counts.
Not the least of which is their disingenuous and sneering attitude about our troops, their officers and our mission related to our homeland security and defense of this land of ours.
The problem with leftists who have usurped the Democratic Party, is that they have a million item list on what is the “wrong kind” of patriotism and a blank sheet for the “right” kind. When it comes to defense of the homeland and security of our countrymen, they are the party of the perpetual nyet.
The lapdog media sits on their hands, except of course, when they are staging events with Green Helmet Guy, photoshopping pictures defaming us or Israel, and ginning up false approbations for lunatic war protesters.
The Logan Act has been violated so many times, the paper it is written on is shredded and discardable. Traitorism is a non-offense.
But, if I ruled the world, Kyle-Anne…I would try these traitors in the public square and hang them. And hang them high.
Careful about the hanging suggestion… Your Sensei will be accusing you of lynching, etc. + laundry list of racist charges. Can we go with impaling them a la Vlad the Impaler?
Dear Marine Mom & Libertyship46,
I agree that the war in Afghanistan is not in the media like it should be. In our society today, the things celebrities do supersede how many men and women have died for our freedom. It is a shame to see to this as the blame for the war has been put on the Bush Administration and there is now a lost a focus on what is really happening over there currently. Looking into the future of this war, I do wonder how long it will continue and hope for a new direction. Our troops are over there risking their lives, they need to be supported and recognized.
So; Why doesn’t Barracky boy grow an ‘afro’, and join in on the New Black Panther’ gig?
It suits his policy!
Cybergeezer,
You have it backwards. The NBPP dress and look like Obama, and smell like Your Sensei’s ass crack.
The rats are deserting the boy president:

WANNABE SENSEI; You’ll love this!
King me!
Yesterday Jay Rock wanted to censor free speech….the Right first, of course. Soros is trying to ruin our economy but doing it with felt gloves, so he says. Holder and Obama , inept socialist Quislings want to try all Islamofascists in…..nice fair courts filled with ‘people of color’ to give the Muslims a break! Yipe. This article is just point on. Dems love to unilaterally disarm, surrender, give START to our enemies, harass the CIA,DIA,and DOD. But,boy howdy they love to dis our military when it is under a Pub Prez. Now that it is under the Boy Man Child inept CIC, there are no body counts , just that he is killing thugs with drones!! Yep, that”ll do it and with the TSA running just like libs love so as not to offend our enemies but damn sure to offend Americans, anybody who ever puts another Dem Prez in charge of our national defense, should be boiled in BP oil!
“unfortunately still killing civilians in the war-torn country.”
Let me get this straight….since the “freedom” fighter terrorists / Al queida aren’t associated with a country or flag….then they’re “CIVILIANS” TOO?
With all due repspect to the author of this article! It serves only to be yet another diversion from the real issues of post WWII warfare in American.
The real issue should not be how the media is covering the war!
The real issue should be focusing on how the U.S. political machine no longer engages our militarys young boys and girls to a mission centric strategy to WIN wars by DEFEATING a declared enemey.
Wars today are a matter of simple minded political convenience to MANIPULATE foreign governments utilizing a strategy of political correctness and nation building. NO military is designed for such a war strategy! Such strategy is guaranteed to result in unecessary high losses to our military. Wars are won by flexible strategies that succeed in advance, hold and saturate the battle field eliminating as much as possible all the known enemy and its strongholds, at the same time implementing strategies to dessimate the enemies command and control heirarchy where ever they may be in country or around the world.
Once defeated, then and only then, can the government consider their political correctness and nation building strategies….after bring back home all our military young men and women. Then they can send in all their “contract” people and the UN forces for their nation building strategy!
Get politics and politicians out of the way of the military winning the war or terminate the war! This is what the stories of today should be about! Not how the media is behaving or what the body count is or isn’t.
The end result justifies the means for Liberal’s/Democrat’s behavior. Illegal or immoral behavior becomes moral and explains their seeming arrogance in the face of hypocrisy. A quick tour of history proves the point. You can look at the history of european fascist, national socialist, marxist and communist developments to see into the mind of the liberal. So demoralizing our troops and the public is just fine in their mind as long as it gets liberals elected, movement toward national socialism, or worse, and conservatives or republicans ground into dirt.
Btw, 451 American servicepeople have died in Afghanistan this year.
I know the ever-loyal (to the Democrat Party…but not loyal to America) MSM has been taking a vacation from war reporting since January 2009, so I’m filling in for them.
According to my calculator, we lost 630 people in 2001-2008, and we’ve lost 768 in a bit less than two years, since the One took over in 2009 (note: includes 25 deaths in Jan 2009). No doubt the large increase in annual war deaths is part of Napoleon Obamaparte’s master strategy, but it’s hard to tell, since there’s no war coverage any more.
Well, at least we’re spared the endless “grim milestone” stories. So there’s something to be said for the media boys’ little news blackout.
..”And any media who allows such a thing to go all but unnoticed by the public ought to hang their heads in shame.”
But, there is no shame, ever. In fact, no shame is part of the “new normal” just like 10% unemployment.
This is a non-sequiter but it suddenly occurred to me, as if in a dream,that one problem in the US political theater is so obvious as to be overlooked
We ought to have principled persons representing us, with respect for the Law on which the nation is founded and fidelity to their oath to Uphold and defend that Law, shouldn’t we? AND respect for the ordinary people who are the population. Now how could / can we get these sorts of people to manage our government. AND decrease its powers and costs, that are borne by the much derided by these “elite”, ordinary population. It’s so obvious.
We, with encouragement of those who hold the offices of our government and their shills in the court / establishment media and their brainwashers in the universities, argue over limited, personal issues, such as who’s getting what, why and how from the national treasury We’ve forgotten that government has few basic responsibilites : Protection of the citizens in Law and Defense of the Nation against marauders, which includes internal marauders. All other responsibilities to be met by the citizens themselves using their own decision. THAT is the ethos of the USA, what it’s all about.
California in the last election a case in point. THAT population voting Jerry Brown and Nancy Pelosi their profligacy in spending. Assured by its large number of electoral votes of the “generosity” of the central government. Using taxes expropriated from citizens who do not vote themselves the perks and supports of Californians. Using the public purse to a bail out and bribe for the electoral votes. AND is precedent for states like Illinois and Massachusettes, Is New York also in the running for such a nose thumbing to the ordianry American in the Red States?
THIS IS A FORM OF SLAVERY: requiring working citizens to support with their labour, obedience, and production the demands of the MASSAS, at the hands of the “whip” of the central government / the Royal Court. And nobody except those forced into these payments cares, as long as “they got theirs”.
The solution, the obvious, is to STOP the perks and the ridiculous payments in money, influence and other powers to the “representatives of the People” : Smaller staffs, offices, salaries AND powers. It is after all the Law of the Land, the Constitution, which defines this judgement
Were we to have such a government in which the honour would be the essential payment, we might HOPE such a CHANGE would bring persons with genuine interest of service into goivernment. As now we get instead bullies and power hungry gangs with their hangers on, bodyguards and “soldiers”.
Pie in the sky ? Worth a try ? See the opposition from the “representatives” and their dependents at even such a suggestion.
You need better things to dream about.
Thanks, KA. I was wondering why Cindy Sheehan wasn’t hanging out in front of the WH protesting the Afghanistan war, you know, kind of like the way she camped out in Texas when President Bush was in charge. You’ve cleared that up.
Sensei- Gosh, I feel so bad for ya! Sounds like you didn’t get that good cookie you feel you so richly deserved. Or did you perform some act of bravery that the pogues in the headshead didn’t recognize? Whatsa matta, chow hall didn’t have the cake with the pink frosting? As an active duty service member, I work around people like you every day who complain often, but, never offer anything in the way of meaningful corrective-action. ( they are usually low ranking “career E-2′s” and the like)Filthy, undisciplined whiners who woke up in bootcamp and suddenly realized it’s time to be an adult, but spend the next four years proving the opposite. There is no pink cake at the chowhall today so, just assume the front-leaning-rest and beat your face!
Which hurt more; when Brian ripped you a new a-hole, or when Dianne cut off your balls?
Little ditty, ’bout Bri n Dianne
Two Americans bloggin’ out in the heartland
Bri’s gonna be a ‘nonymous star
Dianne gonna wash and wax sensei’s car
Suckin’ on a teeny dog, outside the Tastee Freeze
Bri sittin’ on Diane’s lap got his his hand between his knees
Brian say, “Hey, Dianne let’s stump for Sister Palin
Join all those whiney ass victims a wailin”
Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of shillin’ is gone
Now see, senseiless? You are capable of coming up with a few lines of marginally creative material …, when you tax your brain to its limits for 23 hours. LOL
Creative? Not hardly. She just modified plagiarized lyrics from an old song by that other liberal jerk, John Cougar Mellencamp. She couldn’t come with anything new, original or clever if she taxed her brain for 20 years.
I used to watch MTV, too. Which reminds me ……
I didn’t know I was in puberty ’til I saw Daisy Fuentes and Carmen Electra.
BTW, I suspect senseiless is a ditzy he, not a ditzy she. But who cares?
The article begins on a false premise – the Left never pretended to give a damn about soliders’ deaths – only “civilians” and/or terrorists. Code Pink made it very clear when they marched with a 10 foot banner that read, “WE SUPPORT THE MURDER OF AMERICAN TROOPS”
Dirty Dave and the Sergeant
Dirty Dave Letterman is a contemptible creature. In various posts on this website, I’ve documented the bases for his licentiousness, his twisted, sniping attacks on all things conservative, his partisan, servile worship of all things liberal.
On Thanksgiving Eve, Letterman didn’t come close to achieving a personal redemption from his demons or compensating for his ”comical” misrepresentations over the years but he did accomplish an admirable feat, largely by keeping his mouth shut.
His primary guest that night was 25 year old Hiawatha, Iowa native, Staff Sgt. Salvatore Augustine Giunta, the only living recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, to whom Letterman devoted virtually his entire show.
Demonstrating their appreciation of Giunta’s service to his country and amazing display of selfless courage, at the end of the interview, Letterman’s studio audience, which usually reserves its applause for celebs, and Democrats, spontaneously rose to their feet and gave Sgt. Giunta an extended ovation the likes of which I had never before witnessed on “The Late Show.”
At least it appeared spontaneous. It’s always possible the director’s “Applause” sign was supplemented Wednesday night by a sign that instructed the audience to ”Jump to Your Feet, Applaud Loudly, Emotionally, Enthusiastically and Lengthily,” but I doubt it.
It’s also always possible that Letterman invited America’s latest hero purely as a ratings boost and that he was merely feigning a sincere, wrapt admiration for Sgt. Giunta and his accomplishment but I doubt even that. . .
