Seeing Saddam's underpants
Wednesday, May 25, 2005
There was a time when patriotism prevailed over political "correctness" in the media.
During World War II, Americans sang a song about releasing flatulence in Hitler's face ("Der Fuehrer's Face," the title song of an Academy Award-winning Walt Disney cartoon). Now, the media tout the showing of Saddam Hussein in his underwear as a disgrace and downplay the horror of beheadings.
The latter view spews from the mouths and pens of the socialists in our country (many commonly referred to as liberal Democrats) who are trying to render the United States impotent by promoting global pacifism ... the same ones who are diligently working to weaken our country from within by misrepresenting our Constitution.
Unfortunately, the liberal media act in accordance with this group. Had today's media existed in the 1940s, it is a good bet that they would have denounced our war-based songs and cartoons, all the while championing free-speech rights for William Joyce (Lord Haw-Haw) and the women radio propagandists collectively known as Tokyo Rose.
I imagine it will take all the way until they lose their right to free speech for the liberal media to realize what they are doing to this country and ultimately themselves. In their zeal to deface the United States, they fail to see that they are being used as tools of our internal and external enemies. How foolish and gullible!
Saddam is shown in his underwear, and Iraqis who are fighting to maintain their own freedom are bolstered. That sounds good to me.
