Fucking hippies...!

i guess i'm not surprised that there are people out there who still think this way, nor am i surprised to find that SHE lives in lexington, kentucky... and, i guess i'm also not surprised to find her writing a regular newspaper column...

America won't win another war until the 1960s flower children are pushing up petunias.

Radicalized, the flower children morphed into lefty loonies who now masquerade as social progressives. No matter what they rename themselves, however, their agenda hasn't changed.

They still want utopia, and it wouldn't be worth mentioning except that their naivetŽ has aged into a persistent denial of reality that may have devastating consequences.

For example, consider their continued belief that America's armed forces are neo-Nazi stormtroopers who delight in burning babies to further the aims of imperialistic corporations.

Such nonsense, now treated as legitimate by the left-leaning media, denigrates the patriotic values and sincerity of half the nation. It undermines the war effort, insults the dead and the survivors of battle and their families, and supports the aims of the enemy. Translated into immigration or national defense policy, it is an invitation to the world to destroy our country.

Yet, this Vietnam-era idŽe fixe about the military, despite 40-plus years of proof to the contrary, is understandable when analyzed in the context of the flower children's religious zealotry.

To renounce their military fictions would mean facing bigger, more important truths: Marxism doesn't work. Love is not all you need. Western culture is worth defending because it protects freedom, tolerance and the greatest material good for the greatest number. Government can't solve every problem. The American taxpayer has no obligation to support the rest of the world's exploding population.

rebutting this piece of crap point-by-point would be way much more time and energy than i want to devote... i was moved, however, to send her an email...

Dear Ms. McBrearty:

I just finished reading your column from Sunday's edition of the Lexington Herald-Leader and I was moved to drop you a note.

I briefly flirted with the idea of rebutting your column point-by-point but I decided it would be a complete waste of my time and energy. You are wrong on so many levels, I've lost count.

As a Vietnam veteran with three awards of the Army Commendation Medal, as an alumnus of the so-called "hippie" era, as a global economic development consultant, as a father of three and a grandfather of two, as an adjunct professor in two MBA programs, as a world traveler, as a keen observer of both humanity and politics, and as a firm believer that the sooner we come to accept that we are all in this big boat together, the sooner we will all be able to figure out how to live together with dignity and respect, I can tell you without any doubt whatsoever in my mind that wars create evil, they do not erase it, that God in his wisdom does not subscribe to any religious creed nor does he pledge allegiance to any flag, and that I can only hope that people with views like yours who command a public platform will eventually turn toward the light and away from the darkness.

Best regards,

(thanks to crooks and liars...)
