Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Unfortunately, this metrosexual masturbatory attitude has infected Washington D.C., corporate America, most universities and a lot of churches across our land.  Fortunately, it is virtually non-existence in one of the last bastions of old-school heroism, our armed services.  Yes, at least the ones who are protecting our land haven?t bought into the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy garbage. Hopefully our soldiers? attitude, what they live and die for will once again be resurrected within our land in this critical hour before we become a completely neutered neutralized Nancy Boy nation.

My ClashPoint is this:  America owes a lot to its veterans and our current soldiers, not only for the sacrifices they made and still make for our freedom but for who they are as individuals and the largesse of spirit they represent as a collective body.  We should shun both those that rail against our great warriors (who protect us in more ways than we know) and we should avoid the boy- band softening of our culture that takes away the internal grist of our inner warrior.

And lastly, for all the metrosexuals in Hollyweird and all you anti-American imbeciles blogging away on your computers, sitting in your tattered underwear drinking Mountain Dew and eating Domino?s Pizza, please remember this little ditty from Zell Miller about the soldiers you rail against and the nation they serve:

?Never in the history of the world has any soldier sacrificed more for the freedom and liberty of total strangers than the American soldier. And, our soldiers don't just give freedom abroad; they preserve it for us here at home.

For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.?

*  This column is dedicated to the memory of my good friend Lee Wichmann?s father, Wesley William Wichmann, who died of cancer this Veteran?s Day.  Mr. Wichmann was a Navy veteran of WWII and the Korean War; he lived a very full life, loved his family and his country, and left an indelible of stamp of courage and gratitude upon all who knew him.
