Thoughts About Tolerance

All patriotic Americans should take some time to reflect and give thanks for the hundreds of thousands of members of the Armed Forces of the United States and Merchant Marine who purchased our freedom with their lives.
Military service, even in peace time, is deadly serious business and most veterans have vivid memories of comrades who were killed or seriously injured in service to our nation.
We have been at war since 11 September 2001. This is a hard reality even though many of our more emotional fellow citizens would like to forget it, or worse, blame our nation and our leaders for the wanton slaughter that started the GWOT. We didn't ask for this war. We didn't provoke the cowardly attacks. But we must see this awful business through to final victory.
Our emotional friends would say America is now a more gentler and kinder country than it was when our fathers and grandfathers were slugging it out with the Wehrmacht at Normandy or dying on beachheads and jungles in the Pacific. Our elite talking heads surely think we are a more tolerant people now than we where when the tattered 8th Army stood fast along the Pusan Perimeter and brave marines fought house to house to liberate Seoul.
Of course, these are the same folks who dishonestly compared the occupation of Iraq to our Vietnam experience. These nay sayers don't mention that our casualties in Southwest Asia, while tragic, are light when compared to almost every conflict we have fought. For example, nearly as many Americans were killed in Vietnam during the brief 1968 Tet Offensive than have been killed in action since the Twin Towers collapsed on 9/11.
The anointed ones also conveniently forget that they were responsible for causing the lack of political will that doomed our efforts in Vietnam and turned a war in which our military forces won every battle they fought into a disaster.
The Politically Correct elites have been responsible for subverting nearly every military campaign the United States has been involved in starting with Vietnam. Today, one must look long and hard to find any photos or film clips showing the true nature of the human carnage caused by our enemies. Its almost has hard as finding documentation showing how horrible 9/11 really was.
The real atrocities of our enemies are ignored while the phony grievances of terrorists are parroted and legitimized by the Big Blue elites. Their fellow travelers in the MSM (main stream media) won't show a beheading or bodies torn apart in bombings but will broadcast photo after photo of Iraqi terrorists with clean panties on their heads, calling the pranks of young, stupid reserve MPs war crimes.
The tolerance of the fortunate ones applies with gusto to convicted felons who prey upon our most innocent citizens and end up in prison. One only needs to look at what Arnold Schwarzenegger and judges of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals are doing to the prison and parole services in California to understand how tolerant of evil the elite have become.
The beautiful people are also very tolerant of the terrorists who have sworn to kill us. How else can one explain the media's fixation with the bogus Koran "scandal" at Gitmo. Very few of the "news" reports on this counterfeit issue mention that al-Qaeda trains its reprobates to make specious charges of abuse when they are imprisoned.
While the elite care deeply about of the conditions of confinement for very dangerous career criminals and professional terrorists, they are very intolerant when members of the forces of order that protect civilized society screw up, or are accused of wrongdoing.
No allegation made by any common criminal or professional terrorist against police officers, combat infantrymen or intelligence agents is ever considered too petty or erroneous for the MSM to print and broadcast, or for chic radicals to accept as fact.
Any act of misconduct by a member of the forces of order, no matter how petty, must always be punished to the full extent of the law in our gentler, kinder, and always PC, society.
