Daily Kos-mania
by Ben Shapiro - Jun 14, 2006 - TownHall.com
The left has found its newest sex symbol. His name is Markos Moulitsas, and he's the founder of the eponymous Daily Kos, a popular radical liberal blog garnering thousands of visitors each day.
/snip/
Moulitsas recently held a convention for his fellow leftist bloggers in Las Vegas; the convention was humbly entitled "Yearly Kos." Amidst the Bush-bashing revelry and tinfoil hats (yes, literally), major Democratic leaders came to pay homage to the deplorable hatemonger who once stated about slain American military contractors, "I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them."
Just to be sure you understand, this is America and American workers that are being denigrated by Moulitsas. With Daily Kos, Answer and moveon.org leading the way, the democratic party is rapidly emerging as the most anti-American organization on the planet, more hostile to our national interest than France. Mouilitsas is the democratic party's latest sex symbol? What happened to the democratic party that I once worked for? Is this your democratic party?

I am a veteran, but what has that got to do with this discussion? Most veterans do not agree with you and Markos. I am sure that using a term like pontificate makes you feel smart, but I am not asking others to accept risks and die. Our military is all volunteer and I am sure these contractors are volunteers too. I simply find arrogant condemnation of them as mercenaries to be wrong.
It was our country's decision to go to war in Iraq, made by democratic process. Therefore it is "America" who asked them to go and they are "American workers" and condemning them and glorying in their death and beheading as Markos did is anti-American. Your belief that they killed others wrongly would be more useful if their beheading had been done by some responsible authority, but it was done by our ENEMY! Our enemy. Remember?
To equate our governments right to contract for workers to oppose our enemies as equivalent to the mafia says nothing about my sympathies but shows where your sympathies lie.
