NOW, Can We Question Their Patriotism?

Hat Tip: Drudge

Looks like there is still no love lost between Hillary Clinton and the rabid, radical left-wing that supports the Democratic Party. Hillary got “boo”-ed this morning at the radical left-wing Take Back America Conference in D.C for asserting that the American troops in Iraq “has done it’s job.” Things really got bad when she went the unpopular direction of “The American military had succeeded” in its ongoing mission in Iraq. Here’s the details as they appear in National Review:

"Hillary Clinton Booed Again [Byron York]

Sen. Hillary Clinton was booed again this morning at the Take Back America conference, sponsored by the lefty activist group Campaign for America's Future here in Washington. At this same conference last year, Sen. Clinton was booed for her position on the war in Iraq. This morning, she was enthusiastically received as she bashed the Bush administration — "a stunning record of secrecy and corruption" — but the crowd became less friendly when, at the end of her speech, she turned to Iraq.

"We're going to end the war in Iraq and finally bring home the troops," she said as a number of Code Pink protesters stood up in the audience. When she declared, "The American military has done its job," boos began to be heard around the room. As the boos increased, Sen. Clinton raised her voice. "The American military has succeeded," she said, to more boos. "It is the Iraqi government that has failed to make the tough decisions." Still more boos.

At that point, there was a round of cheers. "I love coming here every year," Clinton said. "I see the signs, 'Get Us Out of Iraq Now.' That's what we're trying to do.""

Can we question their patriotism now? If this doesn’t show the anti-America, anti-troops attitude these radical left-wing groups have then I don’t know what ever will.

As for me, I question the patriotism of ANYONE who “boo”-ed to the statement that the “American military did it’s job” and that the “military has succeeded.”
Whether or not you like the idea of the war, or how the generals or the president ran it, the men and women of the United States Armed Forces did what they were asked to do, in the best possible way that they could have done it. To “boo” the statement that they have done their job shows a lack of character, understanding, and PATRIOTISM. Nothing more.
