This Memorial Day was a true source of supreme irony.While we were celebrating our freedom, which was obtained by the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives in armed conflict with our enemies, while simutaneously watching an evil dictator exposed for the petty tyrant that he truly is.
Spain,s new Fuhrer, Hugo Chavez, decided that the criticism a local news station leveled upon him was unacceptable,so in true Hitleresque fashion, shut the studio down and fired over 100 employees in the process. That,s right folk,s! While our President was honoring our fallen heroes who preserved our freedom,Danny Glover and Rosie O, Donnell,s pal Hugo Chavez was showing the world his version of democracy in action, a democracy that is completely fair just and effective, for one person, Hugo Chavez. But not for the people he rules over with an iron boot.
This is a lesson all free men should never forget. So, the next time you see Mr. Chavez on television calling our President the Devil, or snuggling up to the gullible and dense Hollywood elite, who still believe that socialism is the way to go, and that capitalism is evil, remember this event that occured on Memorial Day.
And, while you're remembering, contemplate this,you who continue to hate the President ,hate this war,and hate our military.No freedom,on any part of this globe that has been won,has ever I repeat, ever been won without the spilling of blood in an often long and brutal conflict that creates massive casualties on both sides. Wr protestors like Cindy Sheehan believe that we are the agressors, we are the butchers, and we murder women and children.
Statistically speaking,this may be true, we may in fact kill just as many people in war as the enemy does, and in just as brutal a fashion, perhaps, even more so. What then,you may ask, is the difference between us and them? We apparently use the same savage methods, and achieve the same fatal results.
The difference is in what we are fighting for.Evil fights for power ,greed,and in the case of Islamic Extremists, the right to have seventy virgins in the next life over the crushed bodies of Christian American Capitalists.
We fight for peace in the world ,and the brotherhood of all men. We fight so that all humanity can live in freedom one day,especially our children.
That is the difference.
