Even Memorial Day Doesn’t Stop the Hate America First Crowd

On this day to show appreciation for our liberty and those who sacrificed their lives in it’s defense, any decent human being would think the liberal scum could take a rest from their agenda.  No, I guess they can’t.

Emanuel Margolis is an attorney in Stamford, a former chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut and an adjunct professor of First Amendment law at Quinnipiac Law School. Plus he is a member of Veterans for Common Sense since February 2003.  He writes;

The Defense Department’s Task Force on Mental Health has begun to recognize "daunting and growing" psychological problems among our troops. Nearly 40 percent of our soldiers, a third of our Marines, and half of the National Guard members are presenting with serious mental health issues.

The administration and Congress must come to grips with this grave and growing problem among our returning vets. The suicide rates, domestic violence and the strain on families need to be recognized, and timely health care provided. Proper screening and treatment are essential. Our returning troops are entitled to nothing less.

These are the real costs of President Bush’s misbegotten and mismanaged wars. These are the costs that the administration seeks to hide while it attempts to make the test of patriotism the wearing of flag pins in our lapels!

It’s what is underneath those flag pins that really matters. It is called compassion. It is real patriotism as opposed to the fraud of "Mission Accomplished" and promises of victory.

Let’s not even try to entertain the truth or fiction of these "studies", I think we can all rest assured that they are driven by nothing more than the same old hate for this country that we allow to exist and perpetrate itself, for the most part on our dime.  Doesn’t make sense does it?
