I know, it’s an oxymoron, but I wanted my newest troll to feel welcome. (Hi, Pete!)

As I introduced him in the comments to the previous post, I thought that perhaps some of you would like to know what this country is up against, as far as beating ourselves in this global fight. I am sure that if Pete feels the need, he will let you know exactly where he stands on almost any issue. He’s the kind of citizen that makes me proud to have served this country and preserved his rights.

(sarcasm off, moving right along)

As most of you are aware, I don’t just list links over on the side for decoration. I make an attempt to interact with the writers of those blogs whenever a new post pops up. I don’t always comment, but I at least try to get over and read your new ones. Some of the blogs I visit have stronger language than others; the ones I have listed show those ratings. The ones on the Texas blogroll are under Texas Fred’s jurisdiction; he does not “rate” the blogs as I do. As it should be, since that is his blogroll, and it is under his control.

I said all that to say this: the No PC BS blog is one of the blogs that has language a bit harsher than mine; I don’t hold that against Jenn or any of her visitors (by the way, write “Diggz” in the blank line on your 2008 presidential ballot). I’m saying that to let you know so you can make your informed choice as to whether to visit her or not. Over there, I tend to cut loose on some of the topics that are brought up. Sometimes, that cutting loose gets aimed at specific people, today it was towards two liberal commenters, who call themselves “dave” and “Pete.” I don’t regret anything I said; I was probably a lot easier on them than some of you fine folk who happen to be regular readers. Tell you what, judge for yourself:

Pete and Dave, your vitriol is very potent. No matter what happens, you will find the gall to criticize and denigrate it.

If not for the hate-spewing, misguided, and uninformed statements from certain citizens, this country would still be the powerhouse it was destined to be.

Keep tearing down that which was built up, guys – and when it finally collapses, do NOT come crawling to the military (rednecks getting their limbs blown off), the governement (all in collusion with big business) or any other body of leadership that you have put down, torn apart, or ripped on for help. Oh, they’ll give it to you, because that’s their job – but if you so much as demand one iota of help, you will be showing your true lack of honor, integerity, and self-respect. People like you who do nothing but spew WITHOUT OFFERING A SINGLE ALTERNATE COURSE OF ACTION make me sick to my stomach. I defend your right to free speech, regardless of whether you excercise your responsibility or not.

You, Pete, are the epitome of why this country is mired in a PC BS mess – if the military were to operate in the manner they are capable, this war would have been over almost as soon as it started. Go away, Pete. You keep threatening to leave and never come back, but I have yet to see you keep your word in any regard, so I can’t say I’m surprised you keep rearing your dissenting head.

We now return to our regular schedule…

To fully understand why I said some of what I said, you would have to go back through the post archives over at No PC BS and see where Pete and dave are coming from. That is, if you can stomach what they keep spouting.

God bless you all. Especially you, “Pete,” since you seem to be the most resistant to the blessings God has bestowed on you.

7/5/06 Update:
Pete only referred to one soldier as a “redneck who got his limbs blown off,” but due to his continued bashing of the American Fighting Man in general, this statement was attached to him iconically, much like Reagan’s “Tear down this wall!” Only, of course, without the pride of Americanism behind it.
