Whiny Leftists

Any people actually believe Fox News is slanted right apparently never read their web site. I usually check it every day or two to find out what the headlines are, then I head elsewhere to find out the details about the news. It seems that more and more lately they are "featuring" leftists anti-war idiots.

Today there's an opinion piece by far-lefty Martin Frost. He is a former chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, so that tells you how far left he is, by definition.

In his article he complains vociferously about the idea that people in Washington aren't sending their own children to war. Apparently Mr. Frost has completely forgotten that today's military is 100% voluntary and that the people fighting there actually WANT to fight and serve their country. I know, Mr. Frost, that concept is completely foreign to you.

However, this is a standard tactic of the left -- you cannot make rules about anything unless you've experienced it. Well, Mr. Frost, I guess you're not allowed to have sewer service at your house because you didn't dig the ditches for the pipe. And you're not entitled to have electricity because YOU didn't personally build the power plant that generates it.

Mr. Frost, one of the things to understand about this country is that we all work together, no matter that you don't want us to. People find things that they are good at, and they do it, helping others in the process. In this case, there are good men and women who volunteer to risk their lives to protect YOUR freedoms, Mr. Frost, including that of free speech. If you're so opposed to people voluntarily serving in the military, perhaps you'd be happier trying to write your moronic opinions from Cuba.

2 OH, but didn't you know, in order for leftists to whine less (they will NEVER stop), you have to "send" your kids (meaning you must FORCE someone who is legally an adult) to war, then they will just whine less when you can hear them but still whine about everything. Apparently freedom of speech is only guaranteed to the left these days, or so it seems!

3 There are some people who just believe it's their job to complain, and they are honestly not happy unless they are complaining. It's just tough to tell these people from the ones who have legitimate issues that can be fixed.
