A tangential note, in response to the current Rush Limbaugh business. Recall that this is the man who, in 2007, recieved a House GOP Resolution commending him for his support of the American troops, at a time when conservatives made no bones about obliterating as un-American those who questioned or demeaned the purpose of Americans fighting in Bush’s Iraq. Remember, if you will, freedom fries. Remember, in short, the emphasis the right placed on maintaining – nay, stanchioning – morale at a time of perilous chaos, when freely-choosing American youth enlisted in a combat force divided between two separate fronts to fight ideological wars against a nationless enemy with no tactile political agenda.
Now consider these same patriots expressly wishing our freely-elected commander-in-chief to fail. Which is the greater hypocrisy, to shutter freedom of speech in the condescending name of wartime morale, or to condemn a six-week President too tangled up in the problems left by the last guy to make any mistakes of his own?
