Excerpts (emphasis mine):
Suddenly this week, NDP leader Jack Layton has become the champion of the veteran in his fight to get more money for the vets and their families. The poppy-wearing Layton will attend Remembrance Day ceremonies including the one today at the National War Memorial in Ottawa.
It will be nothing less than an exercise in total hypocrisy.
Layton is always telling us that “he supports the troops”. That’s a phrase that you rarely hear from the prime minister or people like retired general Lew Mackenzie. They don’t go around saying how much they support the troops because they don’t have to. Layton’s idea of supporting the troops is to bring them all home. This is akin to supporting the country’s firefighters by preventing them from ever entering a burning building or going anywhere near a fire. Lives of individuals would be saved, but there would be a cost. But cost is something that those on the left pay little attention to; not only does it not matter, but it will always be borne by someone else.
What would happen if the present day Layton could be transported back to the early 1940s? He and his fellow travellers would be accusing the very men that they now purport to honour of killing civilians and committing war crimes and other atrocities. Layton would want to put them before some international tribunal while arguing that Canada has no business in “Winston Churchill’s war”. The left would be demanding that the troops be brought home NOW (as a show of support to those troops, of course). As far as any “crimes” committed by the Nazis would be concerned, they would be of no consequence. After all, those who like to see themselves as the champions of women’s rights, give very little thought to how women would end up in a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
End excerpts... read it all!
Am I the only one who's convinced that the liberal-left takes their freedoms for granted? That they think they were born with them? That no one died so that they could enjoy these greatest of all possible gifts?
The liberal-left makes me feel very sad, the way they carry on, delusionally living in their fantasy utopian world, oblivious as to the cold, hard reality of the world, past, present and future, ignorant of the unselfish, generous sacrifices of thousands upon thousands of noble, valorous men and women who fought so we could continue to enjoy these freedoms.
The left selfishly dishonors.
The rest of us remember and understand. And say a heartfelt "Thank You. We remember, understand and sincerely appreciate your sacrifices. You did it for us.".
