Op-Ed: The Democrats Are Very Unhappy People

Although the Republican Party was once upon a time the bastion of Conservative Thought and is no longer, it doesn't mean that we conservatives have crawled under a rock. We don't retreat like liberals do.

It is a well known fact for even the casual observer that the Anti-Military and Anti-Americanist activities has been exposed for what it is and it doesn't matter the amount of or the volume of the whining from the left. The absolute screeching from the left reminds of the song Get Over It. Yes. Please do. Their insignificance is resoundingly ever present.

So insignificant as they are, they felt it necessary to squelch Freedom of Speech of some American Citizens which just so happen to be fighting a war. I find this curiously in character and in lock-step of your typical Democrat Party Leader. If you cannot get your way, cheat, defame, bemoan, whine or, if one can get away with it, strip an American of their Constitutional Rights. Apparently, if a Republican tries that it is considered a bad thing but when a Democrat does it, it is quite OK. Odd that but, then again, the American Democrats are rife with the usual Double Standards so rampant among them.

In recent history, as in 22 MAR 08, HR 5658 was passed by the Lower House and has been sent on to the Senate. Eventually, it will make it to the President where hopefully, it will be vetoed and sent to the sewer where it belongs. The offending amendment to the bill is Amendment 56.

[...] The House passed Amendment 56 to the Defense Authorization Act for FY 2009 (384 to 23 in a voice vote), prohibiting the Department of Defense (DOD) from engaging in publicity or "propaganda" programs, banning funding for such programs and calling for an investigation by the Government Accounting Office (GAO) into the DOD Military Analyst Program. The justification is that Pentagon briefings on current operations presented to retired military pundits amounted to manipulating the media, and that it deceived the public with false information about the Iraq war. [...]

Those of us that have been chronicling the verbiage of those once for it before they were politically expediently against it recognize this for what it indeed is. This is a blatant attack on the Constitutional Rights of those that are protecting the Constitutional Rights of those trying to strip them of theirs. Does the irony of this strike you as "Rather" odd? In essence, what the sponsors of this bill (Representatives Hodes, DeFazio and DeLauro) are seeking to do is this. Since they have been exposed as the liars that they are, the avenue of which the exposing came from must be closed.

Not so fast. We are still here and thou shalt not get away with this. Not this war. Not this time. This isn't the Vietnam War no matter how they try to make it so. We are watching. We conservatives will not allow this to go through.

Bank it.
