The key points per the link the OP posted.
1) Soldiers tend to be conservative: Soldiers tend to be almost reflexively conservative; so even the ones who donât listen to Rush Limbaugh or know who Mike Lee is tend to lean to the Right. Liberals might not have a problem with traitors like Bradley Manning, deserters like Bowe Bergdahl or dirtbags like John Kerry who condemn their fellow soldiers (ârandomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khanâ), but they donât like conservative soldiers any more than they like conservative Tea Partiers. If anything, the soldiers are worse in their eyes because the troops all have guns.
2) Soldiers tend to be patriotic: When I think of patriotism and soldiers, the first thing that comes to mind are those lines from Toby Keithâs Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue.
My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
In my experience, most soldiers have a deep and abiding love of country â and Chris Kyle was no different. At one point in the movie, when heâs responding to his future wife, Chris Kyle says,
âWhy would you say Iâm self-centered? Iâd lay down my life for my country.â
The sad truth is that most liberals donât like America very much. When they think of America, they donât think of waving flags, a city on a hill and âthe land of the free,â they think of a rotten country they want to change before it hurts more people. The idea that there are people out there who are willing to die for this country because they think itâs such a great place is like a thumb in the eye for people who read Noam Chomsky, like Jane Fonda, and wish we could be more like Belgium.
3) Soldiers kill people: Why does Bill Maher think Chris Kyle was a âpsychopath?â Kyle was killing bad guys, he didnât do it for pleasure, he was justified in eliminating his targets and had he not done so, itâs likely a lot of Americans would have died. So, why does Maher call Kyle a âpsychopath?â Because Chris Kyle killed people, just like our other soldiers fighting and dying in Iraq. Certainly liberals like Bill Maher would NEVER kill peopleâŚ.because men like Chris Kyle do it for them and the rest of us so we can stay safe. Some of us appreciate that. Liberals donât â which is why they need to be reminded that George Orwell was right when he said, "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
4) Liberals are Utopian thinkers: Liberalism is a guy using an Apple and an IPod railing against corporations. Itâs a doofus with a sign that says, âWho Needs Oil? I Ride The Bus!â Itâs a guy eating a cheeseburger talking about how awful it is that anyone hunts for food. The reason that Jack Nicholsonâs famous speech from A Few Good Men resonated with so many people, even though he was a bad guy in the movie, is that what he said is such a perfect response to armchair critics who want the freedom our soldiers insure without doing the dirty, dangerous and messy work they have to do to provide it.
You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like "honor", "code", "loyalty". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
5) Liberals view our troops as the moral equivalent of the people theyâre fighting: Liberals were very upset that Chris Kyle referred to the people we were fighting in Iraq as âsavages.â Of course, if people who deliberately murder civilians, use their children as suicide bombers and inflict power drills and beheading on captives arenât savages, then the word has no meaning. Unfortunately, liberals have become so reluctant to make moral judgments that they are simply unable to see the differences between our troops and the people theyâre fighting.
So, when liberal Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur compared Osama Bin Laden to the ârevolutionaries that helped to cast off the British crownâ or Ted Rall says, âDo our governmentâs poorly paid contract killers deserve our âsupportâ for blindly following orders?â theyâre revealing that theyâre morally unable to see the difference between our troops and the people theyâre fighting. Most of us may have seen American Sniper as a film about a selfless hero saving American lives, but liberals saw two groups of monsters plugging away at each other and thought, âIf only they could both lose!â
