… is it okay to hate him?

Words have yet to be invented that could adequately describe the awe and respect I hold all those who are wearing or have worn the uniform of our country. To willingly put yourself in harm’s way because you have a deeply help conviction that what we have is worth defending takes a spirit that few possess. I’m still waiting to hear anyone tell me the principle that liberals would actually pick up a weapon and face a deadly fire to defend. They cannot. Their ideology is based on weakening the strong and preying on the ignorant. A feudal system where they are the chosen ones who impose their will on the masses by addicting them to government largesse then keeping them barely subsistent. Theirs is a system predicated on empty rhetoric. They have no real core beliefs. That takes something they know nothing about. It’s called guts.
I wonder how the heroes who rest here for eternity would feel if they knew that a majority of the country have squandered the freedoms they paid for in exchange for a life of servitude to a federal handout from a totalitarian regime.
These men went off to war and won every major battle. The war was lost at home thanks to liberals who now teach our children and run our media. Our current Secretary of state insults their memory by bragging about being among them when he only wanted to enhance his political resume. They were treated shabbily when they came home,when all they wanted was for their country to love them as much as they loved it.
When these men fought for our freedom the entire country supported them. Those at home went to work and sacrificed so our soldiers would have everything they needed to win. This will never happen again as people have become selfish and lazy.It is easier to sit and criticize than it is to get up and defend what you think is right. We have gone from a monarch in England to one who’s set himself up here. And a shot was never fired.
I have posted a few related items. This is not a day for politics. It is a day of remembrance for those who served and still serve. They earned it.

These and more have already happened.
Now, the Obama Administration is demanding that military personnel keep their faith to themselves.
I am not making this up.
It’s okay for military personnel to tell everyone about their sexual preferences. Anyone who is uncomfortable and feels this is TMI is supposed to just shut up about it.
But if one soldier says out loud, “I believe in God,” and another soldier reports to his CO that this made him “uncomfortable”, then the soldier who shared can be court martialed.

Fifteen active duty soldiers participated in the grueling Boston Marathon wearing uniforms and carrying 40+ lb backpacks to honor fallen comrades and raise money for their survivors. It was called Tough Ruck.
They were at the finish line when the bombs went off, yet somehow found the strength to help tear down barricades and free trapped bombing victims.
Video taken immediately after the terrifying explosions that killed three people and injured 183 Monday show these heroes running toward the bomb site.
Army Sgt. Bernard Madore and 1st Lt. Steve Fiola say they never expected to have to mobilize in response to an attack in their hometown but were ready to answer the call of duty. Bernard Madore, who has been deployed twice to Iraq, said the scene in Boston ‘was by far one of the most horrific scenes’ he’d ever seen.
The spirit of the Tough Ruck challenge wasn’t just limited to Boston. Two deployed Army soldiers, who are Massachusetts natives, participated in the event in Afghanistan. They were at mile 19 miles when they learned of the Boston tragedy and pressed on in solidarity with the victims of the attack.
‘[We’ve] never Rucked harder and faster in their lives,’ they said about completing the remaining miles with the knowledge of the terror that had been unleashed in their hometown.

Last week, Fox News reported that an Army training instructor told a Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania that Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism were examples of religious extremism. The Army categorized that episode as an isolated incident.
Not so.
A U.S. Army officer sent an email to three dozen subordinates at Fort Campbell in Kentucky listing the American Family Association and Family Research Council as “domestic hate groups” and warned officers to monitor soldiers who might be supporters of the groups.
These are just the latest.
Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin, who served more than 36 years in the military before retiring in 2007, says that since Obama took office, the attacks on religious liberty have escalated alarmingly. Among the incidents:

Seven Marines were killed during a training exercise in Hawthorne, Nevada. How did our illustrious Senate Majority Leader choose to honor them? By using them as political pawns, of course.
Allen West tweets @SenatorReid: Disgusted by your attempt to politicize the death of 7 Marines in NV. If you possessed any shred of honor, you’d apologize now.
