No More False Pretense



During the week that many Americans remembered the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and General Petraeus provided his report of the progress in Iraq to Congress, the left found real reason to celebrate. They dropped what little pretense they had remaining about “supporting the troops.” Moveon.org placed a full page ad in the New York Times that accused the four star general of betrayal.

Liberals no longer have to live the lie that they “support the troops.” They never have, and they never will. Oh, there may have been some who made an honest effort or actually mistook their leadership’s false façade for sincerity, but “supporting the troops” and “supporting America” have never been who liberals are. It is not part of their nature. In fact, it is antithetical to their nature. Their ideology does not support the foundational ideologies of America. Their ideology does not support a strong national defense of America.

At least they can now be honest in this area. They no longer have to wallow in their pitiful attempt to pretend that they “support the troops” – at least, not American troops. Of course, they can still openly express support for all the “freedom fighters” and tyrants seeking to harm American citizens. Only in the land of left-believe are terrorists the good guys. My tip of the hat goes to all those liberals who can now take a sigh of relief and make an honest return once again to their loathing condemnation of American heritage, ideology, and patriotism.

How do you anger a conservative? Tell her a lie.
How do you anger a liberal? Tell him the truth.
