My friends, this flap over Rush Limbaugh and the alleged insult to the military is perhaps the glittering moment of liberal hypocrisy of the entire year. That’s saying a lot, given that there are so many opportunities, and that we still have three months left in the year.

Point – The left has hated… HATED the military and what it stands for since the late 1960’s. The “counterculture” as they called themselves were all about peace, love and… Oh the hell with it, they were about sex, drugs and hating the military. And for the last 40 years, we’ve been forced to suffer these fools, their asinine behavior and their rhetoric.

This whole leftist movement reached it’s pinnacle with the Presidency of one of their Hall of Famers, Jimmy Carter and his systematic neglect of the military led it to a dangerously unprepared state, and thus led to the hostage crisis in Iran as well as the birth of the current mess we’re in with radical Islamic Terrorists. Make no mistake about this – the anti-war left liberals are directly and irrevocably connected to the empowerment and emboldening of the enemies of freedom the world over, and I’ll go one step further. This investment that they’ve made, hating the military, which is a pillar of their platform is really a mortgage on a landslide defeat which is about to come due.

Then, in the 1980’s, the liberals fought President Reagan over his re-building of the military, blaming the federal deficit on it (when in fact it was a small percentage of it). When that didn’t work, they tried to paint Reagan as an old fool and derided the idea of the Strategic Defense Initiative. Much to the left’s dismay (and their friend Fidel Castro’s) the Soviet Union and communism there came crashing down.

Fast-forward to the 1990’s and Draft Dodger in Chief Bill Clinton, who, along with that dingbat wife of his decided to redefine the purpose of the military. Do what? They essentially wanted to turn the military into a bunch of school cafeteria workers, crossing guards and first-aid providers as the left, and their trophy couple declared the military to be (more or less) obsolete. Thank God my Grandfather didn’t live to see the Clinton administration. Bill Clinton’s contempt for the military was never hidden and embodied the same seething hatred that the left has had for our military for 40 years now.

So what does it take to make a bunch of military hating morons come out in defense of our defenders? How is it that people so opposed to the defense of freedom, now suddenly (and falsely) support the men and women who hold their lives in contempt to preserve, protect and defend that freedom? The answer is as simple as three little combustible words: Rush Hudson Limbaugh.

The case of Limbaugh vs. Media Matters, a group that is funded by socialist George Soros and was founded by Mrs. Bill Clinton has taken Limbaugh to task for daring to “hit the girl” or in this case, a lying coward named Jesse Macbeth. Macbeth was trotted out by a bunch of leftist, anti-war kooks and spoke out against the war, of course taking shot after shot at our troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. We here at home, who stand against this garbage are the only armor our troops have from such attacks. It’s bad enough they have to duck insurgent fire and IED’s, let alone this crap. When it was found out that Macbeth was unceremoniously dumped from basic training, and that every word that he spewed on behalf of the left was a lie, Rush used that as an example of the kind of “actors” that these radical leftist groups have, for the past four years, consistently used, to the point that congress has taken action several times to enact laws to prosecute “phony soldiers” like Jesse Macbeth. Jesse Macbeth is a lying, treasonous, despicable coward, and his actions not only insult the honor of our troops; it is tantamount to spray painting graffiti on the flag-draped caskets of our fallen heroes. This is just how desperately the left wants us to lose this war. This is the point they’ll go to in ensuring a shameful defeat because people like Mother Sheehan, Code Pink and Jesse Macbeth HATE America.

Here is what Rush said:

Rush Limbaugh: It's just, it's frustrating and maddening, and it is why they must be kept in the minority. Look, I want to thank you, Mike, for calling. I appreciate it very much. I gotta -- let me see -- got something -- here is a "Morning Update" that we did recently talking about fake soldiers. This is a story of who the left props up as heroes. And they have their celebrities.

One of them was Jesse MacBeth. Now, he was a "corporal," I say in quotes -- 23 years old.

What made Jesse MacBeth a hero to the anti-war crowd wasn't his Purple Heart. It wasn't his being affiliated with post traumatic stress disorder from tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, though. What made Jesse MacBeth, Army Ranger, a hero to the left was his courage in their view off the battlefield.

Without regard to consequences, he told the world the abuses he had witnessed in Iraq: American soldiers killing unarmed civilians, hundreds of men, women, even children. In one gruesome account translated into Arabic and spread widely across the internet, Army Ranger Jesse MacBeth describes the horrors this way:

'We would burn their bodies. We would hang their bodies from the rafters in the mosque.'

Now, recently, Jesse MacBeth, a poster boy for the anti-war left, had his day in court, and you know what? He was sentenced to five months in jail and three years probation for falsifying a Department of Veterans Affairs' claim and his Army discharge record.

He was in the Army. Jesse MacBeth was in the Army, folks, briefly -- 44-days before he washed out of boot camp. Jesse MacBeth isn't an Army Ranger. Never was. He isn't a corporal. Never was. He never won the Purple Heart and he was never in combat to witness the horrors he claimed to have seen."

You probably haven't even heard about this, and if you have, you haven't heard much about it. This doesn't fit the narrative and the template of the drive-by media and the Democrat [sic] Party as to who a genuine war hero is.

Don't look for any retractions, by the way, not from the anti-war left, the anti-military drive-by media or the Arabic websites that spread Jesse MacBeth's lies about our troops, because the truth of the left is fiction, is what serves their purpose. They have to lie about such atrocities 'cause they can't find any that fit the template of the way they see the U.S. military.

In other words, for the American anti-war left, the greatest inconvenience they face is the truth.

So how does this shake out in the Terrorist Media (my new name for the mainstream media)? What is the reality of people like Chris Matthews and that buffoon Keith Olbermann? Simply this: Jesse Macbeth is a victim, Rush Limbaugh is a criminal and Congress will be the “police”. Oh that unpatriotic, anti-military Rush Limbaugh.

Let’s just take a look at this for a minute. Rush Limbaugh, who daily on his show has done nothing but support and defend not just the military, but what they do. He has at times been the lone voice in the media that has defended every action and repudiated every lie that the Terrorist Media has treasonously propagated against our soldiers during a time of war. He has gone after the media with both barrels blazing when they have done such “pro-military” acts as “embedded” reporters giving away not just the position of the units they were with, but where they were going, or making claims that “mean American Soldiers” were abusing Iraqi civilians for sport. The America-hating Terrorist Media has a stake in emboldening enemy fighters, providing information to terrorist organizations that has resulted in the death of U.S. Soldiers. Just who is the irresponsible media figure here? Compare Adopt-A-Soldier is a program Rush made available to make life better for troops in the field as opposed to the U.S. Media giving Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (D-Iran) “rock star” status, right up there with Hugo Chavez (D-Venezuela).

And so the condemnation of Rush Limbaugh, enemy of the state began in the media and in the hallowed halls of Congress. This would be laughable if it weren’t completely sick. As if the United States Congress has any moral ground to stand on and berate anyone. The Congress berating Rush Limbaugh over anything is like O.J. Simpson invoking words like “truth” and “justice” or Gloria Steinem selling subscriptions to Playboy.

After the way General David Petraeus was treated by the old anti-military firm of “Reid-Schumer & Durbin” as well as the equally detestable “Pelosi & Murtha” – this bunch of rats on Capitol Hill has absolutely no credibility. This General, a decorated veteran of the military was treated as if he were a deserter. The hearings he was subjected to were really attacks, often on his personal character by a bunch of degenerate leftists doing exactly what they do best. Smearing and trashing our military in a despicable show of just how deeply they hate what the military stands for. The statements made by Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer over the last year alone have been beneath shameful, and the hatred they feel for our troops in making such statements is identical to the terrorists that are determined to kill them. By the way, where was the congressional and media condemnation of that lunatic Keith Olbermann who branded General Patreus "General Betray-us"? Nowhere, but several Democrats grabbed the phrase and made it their own. Their true colors just keep shining through.

Then you have Tom Harkin, who of all people, rushes to the floor of the Senate to condemn Rush Limbaugh over something that wasn’t said to begin with and to make an accusation that Rush was “high on his drugs” when he said it, slandering Rush Limbaugh. Of course slander to a liberal like Harkin is the moral high ground as compared to the treasonous filth he usually supports. I can see where Harkin feels a connection to poor little Jesse Macbeth though; they have the common ground of being complete liars about their military service.

Finally, the crown jewel of the anti-war left, and a man that, if hostility toward the military were music, would be the Boston Philharmonic, none other than Senator John Kerry. This is the man who met with the Viet Cong in Paris while our soldiers were still fighting and dying in Southeast Asia, for the express purpose of launching his political career. This is the man who testified before Congress and called our troops “war criminals” and diminishing them to the status of Joseph Goebbels and Herman Goering while accusing them of worse atrocities than Josef Mengele, NONE of which was ever substantiated. Just this year, Kerry called our troops “terrorists” and made baseless accusations of midnight abductions and frightening innocent people in Iraq. He actually compared our troops to people like Osama Bin Laden (D-Afghanistan). Now bear in mind, Harkin and Reid will condemn and rebuke a radio talk show host over something that was never said, and interpret (through liberal arrogance) what he meant, but stand in full accord with spew from people like John Kerry. Hypocrisy anyone?

Then in a speech Monday, this loser stands up and crows about the fact that he and Congress told Rush Limbaugh that “patriotism doesn’t belong to just one political party”.

Even a complete idiot like John Kerry is bound to swerve into the truth now and then, despite a lifelong commitment to avoiding it and he hit it right on. Patriotism doesn’t know any political boundaries, but does know a boundary in ideology, and liberals aren’t patriots. You cannot be anti-American or part of the blame America first crowd and be a patriot. You cannot call honorable troops doing their job, fighting and dying for freedom “terrorists in Iraq” and then elevate a failed, caught in the act liar like Jesse Macbeth to “victim” status and claim to be a supporter of freedom or those who fight and die for it. Patriotism and liberalism cannot co-exist in the same space because liberalism hates and seeks to destroy the very freedoms and beliefs that our Nation was founded on. Liberalism is the counterculture now as it was in 1967, but instead of it being the counterculture of “the establishment” it is the counterculture of patriotic freedom

I said earlier that hating the military was a pillar of the left’s platform and a mortgage that is coming due. The payment for them is going to be a stinging, landslide defeat. This episode with Rush Limbaugh, the arrogance, hypocrisy and sense of entitlement in bashing whoever they want, be it troops in the field or slander of a private citizen is the formula for a resounding defeat. They will come to understand that words mean things, and their 40 years of medal throwing, protesting, military insulting, troop bashing is the noose around their neck. As with any hanging, it’s just a matter of time until the left drops through the gallows. It stands to reason that Jesse Macbeth finds sympathy from the left. He’s a lying loser and so are they. He must feel right at home among today’s liberals.

Incidents like this ought to steel our resolve and give us the ready ammunition to defeat the left with extreme prejudice during the next election cycle. People like John Kerry, Harry Reid and Tom Harkin have no business anywhere except the unemployment line. It’s up to us to honor the real troops and put people in office who won’t bash them until a political opportunity comes along. Moreover our win needs to be the one that sends the ideology that empowers and supports fakes like Jesse Macbeth while deriding people of honor to the ash heap of history, Just as President Reagan envisioned with Communism not so very long ago.
