MARKED DIFFERENCES

It was the poet warrior, King David, who coined the phrase, “I hate you with a perfect hatred” in one of the many Psalms he authored--so I am adopting this phrase for the recent death, via a drone, of one of the prominent leaders of the Taliban in Afghanistan. This posture is a marked difference on how many on the left would have reacted if it were President George Bush in office. Anyone who reads this blog knows that the members of Verily Prime are not adherents of President Obama, yet we will adamantly support him on his policies in Iraq and Afghanistan or anywhere the troops are fighting. When Bush was in office, much of the discourse on the war from many on the left seemed to have want the casualties to be astronomical so that Bush would look bad; some of these Democrats were so partisan that they did not care that soldiers were dying in the interim--so long as it was a catalyst to drive the Republican President from office. The members o f Verily Prime will make no such mistake…notwithstanding our opposition to many of Obama’s policies. I hope and pray that the President successfully prosecutes the wars in all the theatres where the United States is fighting and we will not be partisan, so as to overtly or tacitly put our men and women in jeopardy. There have been recent policies enacted supposedly to honor the military families; an example is letting the media take pictures of the caskets of fallen soldiers. I am almost certain that this was not done out of respect for the military heroes/sheroes, but to embarrass the President, especially if said president wears Republican stripes. Another difference between the members of Verily Prime and some of the loons on the left--is the later penchant for excoriating America on foreign soil, especially, again, if a Republican is President. When members of Verily Prime travel outside these United States, we become mute on matters concerning America’s foreign policy, and confine our critique of this great country within its borders. We cannot say the same for the Dixie Chicks, Harrison Ford, and Gwyneth Paltrow, all who have spouted anti American rhetoric to appease those who would give their kidneys to walk these shores; and then these Hollywood loons would feign amazement when there was a backlash against them, bitching when the folks did not go to see their movies or purchased their CDs. And finally, the loons are saying that conservative talk radio are influencing sociopaths like the recent shooting at the holocaust museum in DC-I wonder who enticed the guy who went to Yemen for Muslim training and came back and murdered the Arkansas soldier…perhaps, it was the pictures depicting prisoner abuse at Abu Grave being shown repeatedly on MSNBC or on the pages of the New York Times…as I’ve said, marked differences….
