FOUNDING TERRORISTS DAY

And while our always patriotic left celebrates "Founding Terrorists Day" this weekend and Monday with displays of American brutality that happened in places like Normandie, Tarawa (Bloody Tarawa including the awful Life Magazine cover picture), the unprovoked bombings of shrines like Berlin and Tokyo; our brutal assaults on the Pirates of Tripoli; and our total insensitvity toward Muslims after 9/11, it's up to the rest of us to celebrate the incredible courage of the guys who froze to death, were crippled for life, and who were shot during the 1775/83 revolution, the longest war in our history; a war that killed 1% of our entire population at the time. Projected on our country today, the loss of life for America was three million. We might also remember the slaughter of everyone in the city of Cobleskill New York by 300 Iroquois Indians acting on behalf of the Brits; the Wyoming Valley slaughters by Indians in both 1757 and again in 1775. That particular Indian slaughter is described this way

After the battle, the victorious Loyalists and Indians began to harass prisoners and fleeing settlers, killing 360 people and torturing a large number. Outrageously all captured Patriots who had fought in the battle were executed, later Butler still guiltily insisted that non-combatants had not been killed, despite widespread reports to the contrary. About 1,000 Patriot homes in the Wyoming Valley were destroyed, and Butler reported the horrific taking of 227 American scalps.

Let us remember those early settlers while the Left blames Americans for the killing of Indians and Brits. And oh yeah, while the Left bemoans the "poor Indians" let us not forget the almost endless slaughters of Americans perpetuated by the Indians during the 1775/85 period. July 4th is Independence Day; Independence from Britain and Europe together with their American Indian allies. The fact that we won is a miracle. We didn't have a single general who had any military training at all. The Brits had the best professional army in the world. We did not have the ability to manufacture our own weapons; the ones we had were purchased or stolen. We had zero money; the Brits were the richest country on earth at the time.

On July 4th we remember a mircacle. Perhaps it would be better to say that we remember a bunch of miracles. There was no way to beat the Brits back in 1776, but we did. Would we have won anything if we had the media we have today attacking the Military at every loss of a battle? Would the draft dodgers at the New York Times and their ilk in television tolerate the loss of three million young guys?

We owe everything to the grunts that stuck it out. Everything.
