America....the new 'Flanders Field.'

[PoliticalChic]

1. On this day, November 30. 1872, Lieutenant Colonel John Alexander McCrae was born. (November 30, 1872 – January 28, 1918)
He was a Canadian poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I and a surgeon during the battle of Ypres. He is best known for writing the famous war memorial poem In Flanders Fields.

In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below...


2. “This poem was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase of the second battle of Ypres…Just as (McCrae) describes, we often heard in the mornings the larks singing high in the air, between the crash of the shell and the reports of the guns in the battery just beside us.”

As stated by John McCrae’s close friend and former Ottawa newspaper editor, Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Edward Morrison.


3. Today, "The larks, still bravely singing, fly," yet one must mourn the passing of an America that stood for rewarding ability and success....and has given way to collectivism and victimology.

Once a religious nation, now " the crosses, row on row," remembering those soldiers who gave all to support that which is no longer.



We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

And continuing to support that which is no longer.

1. It seems that you just aren't perceptive enough to realize that you have become merely an inadvertent satire of yourself.

2. What is the driving force of the unAmerican, the Leftist...i.e., you?
Simply this: shut down opposition voices.

"Too bad you had to spoil it with your rightwing propaganda...."




3. While the attempt to silence opposing ideas covers the greatest percentage of Leftist posts....in this case it
has particular significance, as I fully understand why you’d like to slink away from the fact that folks like you have destroyed what so many of those referred to
died for…..


4. A more reputable voice might have attempted to prove that "and has given way to collectivism and victimology" isn't the case.

But you cannot.

Your quote

Today, "The larks, still bravely singing, fly," yet one must mourn the passing of an America that stood for rewarding ability and success....and has given way to collectivism and victimology

To defile dead soldiers to claim they died in vain because America no longer supports your rightwing political ideology is despicable. To use it to present your own political propaganda is as low as you can get

Once a religious nation, now " the crosses, row on row," remembering those soldiers who gave all to support that which is no longer.

And continuing to support that which is no longer.

1. Not certain what you mean….is it that veterans continue to support the late, great nation of the United States?

Once, it was a foregone conclusion that the military was clearly in favor of Republican issues....
...but now, the divide is almost as wide as it is in the nation as a whole.



2. This is the destruction that the education system has wrought:

….the military tends to vote Republican. In 2008, Barack Obama got about 44% of the military vote (which was a slight increase over what John Kerry got in 2004), and there is no reason to believe Mr. Obama will get more than 40-45% of the military vote. What percentage of us military voted for Obama in 2012



3. Most American elementary schools and high schools, and nearly all colleges and universities, teach everything that is significant from a liberal/left perspective. Multiculturalism has replaced E Pluribus Unum; the American past is villainous; the country is racist; morality is relative; and the left-wing cause of the day -- now global warming -- is taught as incontrovertible truth (ask your children if they have been shown Al Gore's global warming video, "An Inconvenient Truth," or if they have been taught both sides of the man-made-global-warming-leading-to-catastrophe hypothesis).

American schools, especially universities, are left-wing seminaries. The only difference between your local college and a Christian seminary is that the latter are more honest. The Christian seminary announces its goal -- to graduate committed Christians. The universities deceive when they say they have no agenda other than to open minds. They may believe this deception but it is one nevertheless. Almost no university ever has a conservative speaker at its commencement exercises; nearly every professor in liberal arts departments is a Democrat (and a left-wing Democrat at that), and on the few occasions that conservatives do receive an invitation to speak at a college, they are likely to be continuously heckled, may well need body guards, or their invitation is rescinded, as Fordham University did to Ann Coulter last week.
The Dennis Prager Show




4. And, the indoctrination overwhelms evidence to the contrary....

"When the New Left emerged in the 1960s, something else was born that would mark American elites for decades thereafter: the notion that social-democratic Western Europe was far superior to the capitalist United States. For much of the American Left, Western Europe was nothing less than an abstract symbol of progressive utopia.

This rosy view was never accurate, of course. Europe’s socialized health care was blighted by outrageous (and sometimes deadly) waiting lists and rationing, to name just one example. To name another: Timbro, a Swedish think tank, found in 2004 that Sweden was poorer than all but five U.S. states and Denmark poorer than all but nine. But in recent years, something has happened to complicate the Left’s fanciful picture even further: Western European voters’ widespread reaction against social democracy."

Darn them ungrateful soldiers! How DARE they have the temerity to exercise their free vote under the Constitution they risk their lives to defend!

And, ESPECIALLY when folks like you sit home under the blanket of security and safety THEY provide and bitch about how they voted "wrong."

She yearns for the days of sweatshops, robber barons, death in the streets from hunger and lack of medical care, tenets of corporate poverty, women that can't vote, child labor, free for all pollution, bad food supplies, medicine dispensed by a barber/dentists, horse shit on every street, six shooters on every hip and non restrictive prostitution.

"The author of the MOVE law, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), sent Panetta an angry letter charging that the Pentagon -- Panetta's Pentagon, at least from midmorning Monday to early afternoon Friday when he catches his jet to California -- violated "our moral duty to protect the civil rights of our men and women in uniform and their families." But the fact is, encouraging military voting is the last thing Panetta wants... in a close election, it could put him out of a job, having to pay for his own Gulfstream rides. (That won't happen. He'll prostitute himself to K Street first)."

Exactly what I was saying about the products of the 'education' system.

Clearly, you have none, and are proud to exhibit same.

The stupidity of your post simply documents your inability to write a cogent, informed post...fabrication is more your style.

True, drop-draws?


Or....am I wrong, and you can document what your wrote?
No?

What a shock.

Only difference is that Ann Coulter is at least original

No, but you should feel foolish posting an opinion piece as established fact. Of course, I understand that many on your side of the aisle don't seem to know the difference. Still.....

And, by the way, Leon Panetta served 2 years in the U.S. Army as an Intelligence officer. John Cornyn rode student deferments to avoid the draft.

"CIA Director Leon Panetta, President Obama’s nominee to serve as secretary of defense, has come under newfound scrutiny for his ties to a pro-Marxist think tank accused of anti-CIA activity.

The Institute for Policy Studies, or IPS, has long faced criticism for positions some say attempt to undermine U.S. national security and for its cozy relationship with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

In his authoritative book “Covert Cadre: Inside the Institute for Policy Studies,” S. Steven Powell writes: “April 5, 1983, IPS threw a large twentieth-anniversary celebration to raise funds.

“On the fundraising committee for the event were 14 then-current members of the U.S. House of Representatives, including “Leon E. Panetta (D-Calif.), chairman of Budget Process Task Force of the House Committee on Budget (chairman of Subcommittee on Police and Personnel, Ninety-ninth Congress).”

Along with serving on the IPS committee, Panetta supported the IPS’s “Coalition for a New Foreign and Military Policy Line” in 1983.

“Members of the mainstream news media seem to have no interest in Leon Panetta’s past open involvement with the Institute for Policy Studies, an anti-CIA think tank closely linked to the former Soviet Union’s KGB spy agency. But they should,” writes blogger and former Air Force public affairs officer Bob McCarty.

Writing in the New American earlier this month, Christian Gomez notes, “Careful observation of former Rep. Panetta’s record in the U.S. House of Representatives reveals a history of votes perceivable as in contrast with U.S. national security objectives, which if confirmed as Sec. of Defense may compromise U.S. national defense.”

Panetta supported the Soviet satellite government of Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua and was a vocal opponent of Chile’s anti-communist government.

In his 1988 book “Far Left of Center: The American Radical Left Today,” Harvey Klehr, professor of politics and history at Emory University, said that IPS “serves as an intellectual nerve center for the radical movement, ranging from nuclear and anti-intervention issues to support for Marxist insurgencies.”

The FBI labeled the group a “think factory” that helps to “train extremists who incite violence in U.S. cities, and whose educational research serves as a cover for intrigue, and political agitation.”
