Getting tired of the Democrat "we support the troops" BULLS**T

Is it just me? When I see the person who could potentially be the Speaker of the House if Republicans don't wake up--namely Nancy Pelosi--talking about "supporting our troops" on television, it is enough to make me want to hurl.

Those of you who read this blog regularly are quite clear that I am not a big fan of hypocrisy--to say the least. And now, after heraing some of the rhetoric from the Democrats prior to Memorial Day weekend I am to the point where I don't care how this sounds, it needs to be said: namely that you know and I know that probably 75% of the Democrats who pay lip service to the sacrifice of our brave military abroad are secretly glad as the American casualty count rises, because they see it as discrediting our President and thus helping their chances to recapture one or both Houses of Congress this fall. If anything, Pelosi and company are "honoring" a "sacrifice" which they actually feel is necessary- for them to succeed--not by winning the War against the head-decapitating zealots we are fighting; monsters who would like to see every last one of us murdered--but by Democrats gaining partisan political advantage in upcoming elections by capitalizing on the misfortunes of the fallen and the families who support both them and the war effort.

This not only does great dishonor to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice; the Dems' "desirable end result" of gaining control of the House could endanger us all in the long term by distracting our Commander in Chief with baseless and partisan Impeachment proceedings in a time of war and great peril for all of us in the United States.

Radical Islamist states with nuclear weapons is the greatest threat the United States will face in this century--it only takes one city going up in a mushroom cloud to bring world ecomonic markets into free fall and usher in an era of depression and anarchy such as the world has not seen in centuries. And--in the face of this kind of threat--our Commander in Chief does not need to be distracted by a rabid partisan Democratic majority playing tit for tat for the Impeachment of Bill Clinton. And as unhappy as we may be with some Republicans in Congress, it is essential that we do everything in our power to prevent the nightmare scenario of a Democrat takeover of the House.

In the meantime, we pause this weekend to honor the fallen. And when I saw this poem by Russ Vaughn on The American Thinker website, I felt it fitting to honor our brave men and women overseas by calling attention to these hyporcites--whose cause is only advanced as the body bags multiply. These opportunistic frauds need to be called out for who and what they are. They do not support our troops; they disgrace them, and most of all they discrace those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we might not have to. They and their families are in our hearts. And simple words cannot express our enormous gratitude for what they have given for the rest of us. God bless them all:


Forsaken Honor, Forgotten Shame
“False face must hide what the false heart doth know.”
Macbeth 1.7

The liberals found a new Macbeth
To bait the media with claims of death,
And atrocious acts by his own men,
Opportunely vague ‘bout where and when.
But liberal bloggers shared with glee,
New proof of our troops’ infamy;
Web witches stirred their bitter brew,
Caring not their broth might be untrue.

But liberals heed not lessons learned,
That hollow heroes leave them burned.
So fools rush in, disdaining danger,
And hold on high a phony Ranger,
Exploit a mentally troubled youth,
To extend their version of the truth.
Because our troops they so despise,
They swallowed whole his vicious lies.

So now we witness once again,
The Lefties just can’t seem to win,
When it comes to picking warrior heroes,
Liberal heroes often turn out zeroes,
Who wrap themselves up in the flag,
And unlike heroes, boast and brag;
And trot out rows of Purple Hearts,
For scratches on their body parts.

Why must they seek to elevate
Themselves with lies that desecrate
The brave and honorable reputation
Of those who serve, protect our nation?
John Kerry, Murtha and Macbeth,
All share a trait, exploiting death.
In their own selfish quest for fame,
They’ve forsaken honor, forgotten shame.
