Four Decades of Military Service....Still no Respect from the Democrats???


GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS




General David Petraeus has spent the better part of the last four decades serving our nation. He has drastically impacted the military and the way our wars are fought.


General Petraeus wrote the book, literally, on counter-insurgency in Iraq. He has been in charge of training the Iraqi security forces. He has been in Iraq for nearly 4 years out of the last five.


He nearly died from a bullet to the chest while wearing the US uniform. He is the son of a man who served in the military. He graduated the US Military Academy. He has a Ph.D. from Princeton University. His credentials are impeccable and impressive.



Yet, to believe this man's report and testimony to Congress, we have to "suspend disbelief." Presidential hopeful and leading Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as most of her party, feel that his report on the progress in Iraq and the surge was inacurate and a White House-influenced political piece of propaganda.


Look at the Democrats' biggest financial backer, MoveOn.Org. They have publicly said they have bought and paid for the Democratic party. They get an uneal discount on a full page ad, which ran the day of General Petraeus' testimony to Congress (thus being printed before the General had given a word of testimony to anyone.) They accused the General of betraying our country by giving his report. His honesty, integrity, and 4 decades of service to our country was smeared by a group of anti-American kooks...kooks who control the thoughts, words, and deeds of all the democratic presidential candidates (Don't believe me??? Name one of the front-runners that has spoken out against the slanderous insult of an ad...just one.)

It is a disgrace and a joke that Petraeus was smeared the way he was by MoveOn.org, made worse by the fact that the New York Times, a paper of record in our country, gave them a discounted rate to smear the General. The worst part is, there are 4 people one the Democratic side who have a legit chance to become Commander in Cheif of the military, and the General's next boss, and they all refuse to decry the ad. They refuse to say that it was uncalled for and wrong. They even try to agree with the ad without using the exact same verbage. Hillary says that to accept what General Petraeus testified to, we have to "suspend our disbelief." Meaning, we have to ignore the fact he is lying to accept it. And she wants to lead our military?


I just believe a man who wears four stars and has served as long as he has deserves a little more respect. I guess this shows their true colors...all this time they tried to say "We're against the war but we support the troops." Well, when a bona fide American hero and true leader gives them bad news for their political ambitions, they appearantly are willing to make exceptions to their support of the troops.


Below is the dispicible ad that MoveOn.Org placed in the New York Times on September 10, 2007.

About Me...And This Blog Site...

My name is David A. Ebert, the oldest of two siblings produced by my parents, Leah and David G. Ebert. We are all Republicans, but I take it a toke or two...well, closer to 10 tokes...further than my parents,

I am very much a Right Wing Conservative. I am a Reagan Conservative. I believe Americans, in general, are smarter than elected officials in Washington, DC. We should be more in charge than the Government.

We, as individuals and families, should have more responsibility over our own, hard-earned money and not send more and more and more taxes to the out-of-touch politicians. I believe the government is there to serve us, and not us to serve them.

I believe in America's greatness and that, overall, we are the most generous, forgiving, intelligent, and genuinely decent country in the world. I also believe that we are the most powerful nation in the history of the world, but do not use that power to hold over the collective heads of other nations.

I believe that low taxes, intelligent spending of those tax revenues, strong initiatives on defense and education, and small government influence on the day-to-day lives of Americans are some of the most important ideals related to how the US should be operated.I believe in the freedoms granted by the US Constitution. I believe that judges should uphold and interpret the laws as written in the US Constitution, and not refer to any foreign legislation to make their historic decisions.

I believe the First Amendment, as well as the entire Bill of Rights, are the most important laws this world has ever seen.

I believe abortion is WRONG. I believe that homosexuality is WRONG. I believe that allowing anyone to publicly debate the possibility of lowering the age of consent, especially for young boys to consent to older men, is a tragedy of morality. I believe that organizations like NAMBLA should be publicly shunned and not given a platform to spew their harmful and dangerous rhetoric.

I believe there is a sad lacking in the ability of our nation to appreciate and accept self responsibility. We, as a nation, blame daddy, racism, sexism, classism, mommy, the mean teacher, the mean little league coach, the loud mouthed uncle, the financial status of the neighborhood in which we grew up in, and a million and one other reasons why we do not succeed. How often do we, as a nation, take the blame for our own mistakes? How often do you hear someone accept responsibility for their own mistakes? How often?

I am conservative. I am worried about the future of the country and the planet, especially if O-BOMB-A or Billary Clinton make it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I will start posting my fears, my hopes, my ideas as they all relate to news and politics. I hope to open some eyes and change some opinions with my writings. Most of all, I hope you will read my words and be inspired to find the truth...and not rely on Chris Matthews or Keith Olberman or Katie Couric or Matt Lauer for your opinions. I hope you will break the mold and do something unreal...unexpected...do something that O-BOMB-A and Billary are afraid of you doing...

THINK FOR YOURSELF.
