LIBERAL AGENDA NEVER RESTS

Memorial Day. A day set aside for the nation to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in defense of freedom and this country. A day where we as a nation honor those who have served so bravely and given of themselves so that we can live free. A day in which we remember and pay tribute to those who have paid the price through their sacrifice on the altar of freedom for the continued existence of The United States.

A day when the usual politics and bickering over issues are set aside because we pause to remember. Those innocent days of remembrance are gone now as this Memorial Weekend has so obviously proven. The liberal agenda designed to continually portray negativism over the war blatantly showed its ugly face throughout the ceremonies and remembrances.

The Mainstream Media used every news break, every program showing the tributes and memorial services whether on radio or television to push the negative liberal agenda. Throughout this war the MSM has continually reported only body counts and bombings or other forms of attacks in this war. Never telling the positive nor showing the tremendous accomplishment of our men and women in the Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

All in an attempt to bolster the liberal anti - war agenda and create dissension against the war with the American people. To a certain extent this agenda and the willing assistance from the Media has worked. During this Memorial Weekend the face of this agenda blatantly took advantage of the fact that we as a nation remember our war dead and pay tribute and honor their sacrifice.

Each report, every news break, every sound bite showing the national observance either made mention of the number of soldiers killed on that particular day, ( the usual body count), or stated the number that have fallen since last Memorial Day.

Reports either showing or telling of the President laying the wreath at the Tomb of The Unknowns, made reference to the, "war time President," and that , "there have been just over 1000 deaths since he laid the wreath last year." News breaks began with taps being played as a sound bite covering services then ended with , " while today in Iraq three American soldiers died at a road side bombing."

Even disgusting Cindy Sheehan could not pass the opportunity to get her liberal barbs in. Rather than taking the day to remember her son who sacrificed his life for freedom, she stated that, " her son died for nothing, " and that she was, "quitting her anti - war movement." While I am glad to see her go, her timing was terrible in making the announcement.

Many of the Democrat candidates for President made campaign stops whose purpose was to speak out against the surge or the situation in Iraq. Joseph Biden rather than paying tribute to our fallen heroes played politics and attacked the President at a Memorial Day gathering. Barak Obama visited a Memorial Service in New Hampshire and did the same.

Memorial Day is a time to remember EVERY soldier throughout our history who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It is not a time to protest or play politics. It is not to push any agenda whether pro or anti - war. It is a time to honor our fallen, pay tribute to their sacrifice and remember the great price that we as a nation have paid to insure and protect our freedom.

The liberal anti - war agenda has dishonored our fallen. It has played politics with our heroes. It has ushered in a new low in the disgusting and insane antics used by the left to bring this nation down and to create in the minds of Americans and the world that The United States is the cause of the worlds problems and the enemy of all mankind.
