Benson: Murtha's cartoon twin?


Evidently the Murtha syndrome continues to infect the Liberal media. This cartoon, drawn by celebrity atheist cartoonist Steve Benson, was published in the Arizona Republic newspaper recently. In response, the paper received over 160 letters to the editor. Here are the few that they published online.

Pardon me, Mr. Benson, but if you'll extract your head from your ass for a minute there are some salient points your little cartoon has missed:

(1) The investigation is still underway and no one has even gone to trial yet;

(2) Every American citizen is entitled to be considered "innocent until proven guilty;" and

(3) The US Marine Corps has a long and glorious history that includes many thousands of men and women who have served honorably. Even if these few are found to have done something wrong in battle, they are a very few out of the thousands.

I shouldn't be shocked at this atrocity; after paging through a few of his cartoons it's evident that the man hates America and our military. It's blatant. THIS time, however, he's taken it way too far for any decent freedom-loving American to tolerate. I hope you all will feel free to write to the Editor at the Arizona Republic and express your own views of Mr. Benson's work.

With self-absorbed Leftist idiots like Benson and Murtha out spewing their vile nonsense (whether verbally, in print, or by cartoon), I can only hold the fine men and women of our Armed Forces in even higher esteem for continuing to protect our freedoms despite the crap that's thrown at them.

Semper Fi, Marines! We support you and all of our troops!!

...A great big thank you to Russ Vaughn for keeping an eye out for his compatriots!

I seem to recall that Benson also draws pictures of stereotypical beer-bellied "NRA members."

Well, I'm the person who destroyed the Million Mom March in 2000 by exposing its apparent use of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt money to run a political campaign. Take that, Benson.

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
