Support the troops in D.C. The lies have started again. John Kerry would be proud.

Winter Soldier II and the IVAW (Idiot Veterans Assisting Wahabbiism) are in DC this weekend, undermining our troops.

The one thing that I will say about the IVAW. There are some, some, troops in that organization that are honorable. The rest do not have the well meaning of our country in their hearts. I've seen too many posts by their members advocating violence against their fellow service members and actual sabotage of the war effort. Too many fake soldiers have been put forth in their effort to besmirch the reputation of our military. There are soldiers that are actually against the war and have become objectors. But, if you wish to be respectable, don't associate with enemies of our country like A.N.S.W.E.R. and Code Pink.

Col. Riley of Eagles UP has a good article at Human Events: Lock Arms with American Defenders
"When anti-American organizations and demonstrators march through our city streets spewing hatred and venom, many Americans simply shrug their shoulders, assuming without question that the streets belong to the malcontents.

I disagree vehemently. As a professional soldier I do not believe in the concept of conceding any portion of the battlefield to the enemy..."

From Mike Connelly, in response to a comment that protesters are just exercising their 1st Amendment rights: "The mere act of protesting does not make someone the enemy. But when protest become vile displays of hatred toward our commander-in-chief, flag burning, defacing memorials, spitting on veterans, standing outside Walter Reed Army Hospital chanting that our wounded and recovering soldiers deserved their injuries, then I count these "protesters" as enemies of America and enemies of mine."

And from Carl Branstetter: John writes: "The protestors are not "the enemy" but American citizens engaged in the enjoyment of their First Amendment rights."

False dichotomy. Exercising one's rights, and being a domestic enemy, are not mutually exclusive acts. We observe the media fully shielding itself behind the 1st Amendment as it provides aid and comfort to our enemies and demoralizes our troops, leaders, and populace.

The wicked commonly employ the virtues of the good as a weapon against them."

If you have the time, Go to D.C. and support the troops.
