The narrative from leftists regarding the war is so hysterical, paranoid and anti-American, as Dave Horowitz said in his recent speech “How Democrats and Radicals have Betrayed Our Country” it isn’t just mere dissent, it’s treason. The fact that overthrowing our government is considered ‘free speech’ makes one wonder what, in the long run, it will ultimately cost us.

Recently there was a video by Michael Crook on youtube, where he visited a military cemetery in South Jersey. In that video, he spit on soldiers’ graves, said they didn’t accomplish anything, and called them leeches on the government payroll, saying their deaths made the families ‘rich’. When I made a phone call to the cemetery, asking what is being done about public acts of grave desecration, I was assured that the legal department was handling it, and that the entire staff had watched it. There are former military people working there, and it turned their stomachs. Crook had the audacity to spit on the graves of WWII veterans and others while a woman was there with her child, paying their respects. One thing that seemed interesting was he was looking around, apparently afraid he might get caught, and whispering to his handheld camera while he was conducting this ‘experiment’. Instead of speaking loudly as if he thought he was really entitled to this hatred of America’s military and longheld military burial traditions, it appeared as though he was excited that he was doing something this radical and expected that he might get caught and thrown out of there. Or perhaps that’s just what an America-loving individual is thinking while watching him conduct his bit of political theater. This is not much different than another group that attends funerals with their America-hating rhetoric; the Westboro Baptists.

When someone joins a Michael Crook or revolutionary communists in being ‘against the war’, I think it’s important to remind them where this rhetoric comes from. That this should be the regular party line of people in Congress is worse than disturbing.

The point is, whether you’re a marxist or anarchist who is bombing recruiting centers, or claiming your against the war without a sign in your hand, aren’t the sentiments virtually the same?

How can you be ‘against the war’ but support our men and women in uniform? It’s a very odd position that completely cancels out the ’support the troops’ idea. If you go back to the actual ideology of the organizations like Code Pink which bring us protests against waterboarding (which isn’t being used anymore), these people are for ‘change’ - the change that socialist revolution would bring. They are against our government because it isn’t a carbon copy of Castro’s. They support ‘free health care’ that comes from a government that enslaves the people and a government that seeks out its opposition and puts them in front of a firing squad.

It’s quite ironic that anti-war demonstrators or people who parrot the anti-war demonstrators lines, don’t realize what it is they’re saying or where it comes from.

Wesley Clark recently attacked John McCain’s vietnam service, which I found to fall in line with the liberal attack on all those who serve; depicting them as monsters and baby killers, and whose Soviet-style redliners like the Iraq Veterans against the war, depict as victims of a predatory system which doesn’t give out enough benefits. It is odd to me that Clark was in command at Ft. Hood when Clinton signed a waiver to the Posse Comitatus Act, (which prohibits the military from using its arms against American citizens within our borders).

What happened at Waco was the death, mostly by fire, of at least 82 men, women and children, including two babies who died after being “fire aborted” from the dying bodies of their pregnant mothers.

It is not known if Clark was actually physically at WACO when this all happened, but it is not in dispute that he was in command and the resources from the military were from Ft. Hood. Isn’t it also interesting that the former NATO commander speaks fluent Russian? If you read the article Wesley Clark: General Issues by Lowell Ponte, you will get an idea about Clark’s creepy background. Of all the people to throw someone’s patriotism in question, or call into doubt the dignity of someone’s military service, where Clark is concerned, you should consider the source.

Another example of the role he’s played in past conflicts comes from the same article:

In June 1997 President Clinton appointed him Commander in Chief of the United States European Command and SACEUR, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, in command of the forces of NATO, a position Clark would hold until May 2000.

As SACEUR General Wesley Clark would collect a truckload of honors. He would also prosecute Clinton’s war siding with Muslim Kosovars against Serbian Christians in the Balkans.

This war was largely fought from high altitude aircraft to minimize American casualties, an approach that increased civilian casualties on the ground.

Clark soon acquired a reputation as someone who lied about such casualties, lies reported even by Time Magazine.

(Emphasis mine.) It is no wonder that he’s considered a hero of the left. But here is a man who seems to have lived up to the leftists’ description of what the military accomplishes in conflicts - targeting innocent civilians. Where is the outrage?

For once, I’d like to see them be positive about something; but that will happen when they are running the country from the presidency down to the House and Senate; and similar to nazi Germany, any dissenter will have been thrown in jail. You may laugh, but I see that as the direction we’re headed in…when we have examples of honorable men who’s served our country like Lt. Ilario Pantano or the Haditha 8 brought up on charges for doing the job they were sent to do, based on the lies of known terrorists.

The most recent disgusting news byte in this mad struggle with the left is granting Islamic terror suspects access to our courts. For more information on that, read “The Man Behind The Attack on Guantanamo”.

We are the frog in the frying pan, and as all these groups and organizations turn up the heat, the apathetic American picks up his latte at Starbucks, drops his kids off at soccer and piano lessons, fills up his SUV, and seems unaware and uninformed.

Will it be after we’ve completely lost our freedom and the progressives have forced upon us their vision of the US Constitution in 2020 that Americans will realize they should have been more involved?

I hope not, but they are well on their way to making the ‘dream’ a reality.
