Ärende: Somebody who gets it!
=============================
Here's a piece posted in a local chat group by a friend of mine. The author
gets it, unlike those he speaks of - including our resident socialists Sakowski
and Wilson.

GUEST OPINION

SWATTING FLIES

John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy, Harry Reid, John Murtha, Wesley Clark, Howard Dean,
and those of your ilk, where were you when God created the world?

Senator Hiram Johnson in a 1917 speech before the US Senate said, "The first
casualty when war comes is truth."

I'm not speaking of George W. Bush or Dick Cheney, I refer to each of you and
either your total sacrifice of integrity for the sake of political expedience,
or maybe each of you has simply lost your mind, or just maybe you misplaced
your testes. "Pull out of Iraq immediately," you decry, and most of you have
visions of leading our country, especially in these years following the
cowardly sneak attack of September 11, 2001? You have got to be kidding! I
would not follow any of you to a public undressing of Catherine Zeta-Jones,
much less off to war.

Whatever  happened to the great statesmen of the democratic party, the John
Kennedy's, the FDR's, the Harry Truman's?

Wesley Clark, you are a retired Army general and John Murtha, a retired Marine
colonel. Did you two completely forget a code of honor, supporting our troops,
and tenacity in the face of adversity? Yes, you did, all for politics, which is
empirically more important to you than the safety and psychological well-being
of our fighting men and women from whose ranks you rose. How many men under
your commands died, so you could betray their legacy of courage by talking
about cutting and running in the midst of a war? Neither of you served with any
more honor or courage than me, and I gladly will take you to the woodpile for
your comments.

Ted Kennedy, you are quite simply a political pimp, who could not even get
hired as a lifeguard away from Washington or your family's money and name. 
John Kerry, if I had my way, you would be in prison for treason, and Harry Reid
and John Dean, all you two have to do is occasionally open your mouths and you
save me the trouble of commenting on your actions.

How dare you! How dare you aid and abet the enemies of freedom, of democracy,
of man's inherent right to live without oppression, because of your egomaniacal
visions of being one of the great statesmen of our time! Believe me, your
actions simply will make you a speck of dust in an unread history book, and a
few quickly-forgotten public flashes while being devoured by the multi-headed,
gluttonous network news monster.

If you really want to go down in history, become part of the solution, not the
problem. You do not publicly say our President lied to go to war. You all know
better, but every time one of you makes such ignorant statements, al-Zarqawi
laughs and bin-Laden chuckles. Each one of you is one of the most effective
weapons of our enemy in a time of war. They use you, with your obedient
cooperation. Why? So you or more in your party get into office. What a damnable
reason to betray our troops! Hanoi taught our future enemies how to manipulate
such a weapon decades ago, but people like you have forgotten all about
"lessons-learned" in war. They got away with it with me in the sixties, but you
are not going to get away with it with my sons in harm's way.  Every time flies
like you leave the manure-pile of Beltway strategizing and try to land on the
exposed skin of American public and leave your dung-covered tracks on the minds
of innocent or misled Americans, I will be there with my fly-swatter, and I am
not alone.
