The Right State

BlackFive has a link from YouTube in which political analyst Lawrence O’Donnell has a meltdown after suffering a severe bout of guilt because he was a coward for not having served in the military. He goes on to state that the soldiers serving in Iraq have no connection with those staying at home. What a bunch of rubbish. By extension what he is saying is that there is something wrong with those who would serve in the military. I, for one, am offended by his comment. I did serve in the military. I have friends who have served and are serving in Iraq. I and they relate well with each other and our respective families and friends. What O’Donnell is actually saying is that he does not relate to the military. And why not, he views the military as an unnecessary evil. Froggy from BlackFive is right, O’Donnell is trying to play on both sides of the fence. He says the military is made up of good people who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Then, he goes on to say that those who do serve are somehow disconnected from the society they are charged with protecting. The real problem is that he does not understand the military or those who would fight to save this great country. People like him do not understand how anyone could voluntarily fight for a country as bad as the United States.

O’Donnell is not alone in suffering from this massive case of guilt for not serving and blaming the US for every contrived grievance at the same time. Many in the liberal blogoshere feel the same way. I found this reply below the YouTube video.

How is a so called all volunteer army any different from an all mercenary army?
I would support a mandatory national service. It might even encourage the military to create more peacekeepers with language skills. How useful is knowing how to blow up tanks in the marketplace after the end of enlistment?

Now our proud and courageous American soldiers are no better than mercenaries? These moonbats have really lost it. To these truly idiotic morons, there is no need in this world for the military. To prove it, this moonbat compares the military’s need to blow up a tank with the civilian need to…blow up a tank. What utter nonsense, the value of one does not compare to the other. I spent four years in the United States Air Force repairing F-15 Eagles which protected the eastern seaboard from Soviet incursions during the Cold War. Our planes had to be ready to encourage the intruding Russian Bear to leave US airspace, which happened fairly frequently. For these loons to say that my service to this country is not important because the civilian world does not have F-15s is incredibly stupid.

As if we need any more proof that the left has lost touch with reality, look at how Ron Jacobs from Couter Punch views our soldiers who fought and died during the Vietnam War. (His views represents much of the left in this country)

In fact, George Bush recently commented during his visit to Vietnam that the basic mistake made by the United States during its murderous campaign in Vietnam was that it quit before victory was achieved. (emphasis added by TRS)

Once again our soldiers are called murderers or worse. The left has nothing but contempt for a military that it does not understand. The military men and women who serving in Iraq have not lost touch with their civilian counterparts, it is the liberals who have lost touch with our soldiers. Our brave men and women in uniform in Iraq face death to defend this country from all our enemies. As a result, our cowardly liberal friends are feeling guilty. They are too scared to serve, the pansies.

To rid themselves of this shame, the left must stop the war. Then there would be no need for their guilt. Much like the left’s campaign against the Vietnam War in the 1960s, liberals plan another protest on the very day the new Congress is to take their seats, January 27, 2007. Their call is for an immediate withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

To make sure enough people show up to make a difference, these moonbats are trying to include just about anyone with a beef.

…it is important that people do show up for this protest. And every other protest against the war coming up in the future. After all, it is the protesters who decide the course of the movement, not the so-called leadership or any of their Democratic pals.

How long will it be before the left becomes even more unhinged and starts calling our brave soldiers: baby killers? For them, this would be straight out of the liberal handbook. Blame the President, then Congress, and finally the soldiers who are fighting this war. They want to end this war at any cost, even if it means the US is less safe than before. Ending the war would remove the scarlet letter clearly stamped on their foreheads—G, for guilt; S, for shame; or C, for coward. Any of these letters would fit. As a result, it also means that the removal of the letter becomes imperative. Ending the war becomes worth any price they or this country has to pay. Such is the penalty for their scarlet letter.
