Have you been paying attention to the theme that has been playing in the media for several months now concerning Iraq and the War on Terror? If you have and you aren’t on mood altering drugs yet I commend you for your fortitude, because frankly it is depressing to see just how irrelevant and misguided the stories ran really are.

Recently at a press conference after the killing of the top leader of Al-Queada in Iraq, several reporters asked amazingly disturbing questions such as whether or not the photos of Zarqawi’s face were “photo-shopped”, and if the U.S. troops had killed him in the end. They asked about the possibility of children being in the house that was bombed and why the military hadn’t decided to go in and get him instead of bombing the house. Other questions dealt with issues such as Muslim burial concerns and the possibility of Zarqawi’s wife being there at the time. The vast majority of the questions centered on Zarqawi and his followers regarding how the U.S. military had treated them in the attack, whether or not first aid was administered and whether the attack was necessary in the first place. Only one reporter asked the obvious and relevant question: Was any positive intelligence gained from the papers retrieved after the attack and how this is helping in the hunt for the terrorist insurgents killing our troops everyday. One question in probably two dozen at least was relevant. The rest was the touchy feely crap that doesn’t matter to anyone except the press and relativists who can’t fathom the concept of absolute right or wrong.

How in the short span of 50 years has the attitude of the press gone from one of writing headlines that were elated at our victory in World War Two, to theorizing and pursuing accusations of conspiracies and “ill-treatment” of our enemies by our own military today?

According to the social relativists we are supposed to have a kinder, gentler military which tries its hardest to reduce or even eliminate – not the enemy – but “civilian” casualties. The media is obsessed with pursuing the idea that we need to restrain ourselves from damaging relationships with the Iraqi government but at the same time they loudly proclaim, repeatedly I might add, every single casualty of our troops. The message is that we need to get out. We need to cut and run. It is proclaimed to be too much for “the average American” to take, and so we need to withdraw the troops, or redeploy them somewhere else. Anything but actually fight the people who’s only desire in this life is to kill Americans and install totalitarian Muslim law around the globe.

Where does the media get the idea that most Americans want troop withdrawal? They take polls showing that most people think we are going in the wrong direction in Iraq. They take polls showing that America is fatigued by the war and want something to change. They take polls on President Bush’s war performance, the budget for the war, the casualties in the war and every other aspect they can possibly paint as a negative against the war. They see that as a positive for the social justice fools and a way to defeat the conservatives at the ballot box, but they are wrong.

The question of whether people agree with how the war is being handled is only part of the picture. The question they don’t ask is the clue to how the average American really thinks about the War and also a tell-tail sign about the media’s agenda against the War on Terror. I would bet my whole year’s wages on the outcome of a poll which asked this simple question: “Do you think that President Bush should use all necessary means to stop the insurgency in Iraq as fast as possible?” To any normal person the obvious answer would be a resounding yes. In fact, I would be willing to go double or nothing that the person asking the question will get many very good suggestions as to how to accomplish that which would make the little effeminates in the media run for cover. That of course is the very reason why the results of that poll would never be published. Americans are angry with the timidity displayed by the Bush administration and the Pentagon in how they are handling this war. I mean really, “Shock and Awe?” How about droop and yawn? With the amount and kind of force we have at our fingertips the fact that we are unwilling to use it even to save our own boys on the battlefield is really very telling. What shocks and awes me is was not the show of force we displayed when we invaded Iraq, because realistically that wasn’t really necessary. A few well-aimed Inter-Continental Ballistic Nuclear Missiles would have done nicely without having to commit a single man to more than pushing a few buttons.

The shock comes from how we are treating our enemies versus how we are treating our own soldiers. Anyone remember Abu-Ghraib? The prison guards stripped a few prisoners and made them form a human pyramid then took pictures while the prisoners were blindfolded. The result was a resounding uproar from the relativists and the talking-heads. The so-called prisoner abuse was what most people in America would recognize as a harmless college fraternity prank. No one was shot, no one was even hurt. Humiliated? Yes, but nothing worse than what our soldiers endure in boot camp in the hands of their drill-sergeant. But the heads had to roll, because the talking-heads were. Everyone I talked to during that episode was perplexed as to why that even was an issue. They agreed that deliberate humiliation of prisoners needed to be discouraged, however it wasn’t worth jail time or a court-martialing of the soldiers involved.

I am awed by the idiocy displayed by our military commanders in taking the enemies words on the conduct of our soldiers above their own and the lack of any evidence proving guilt, resulting in the shackling and charges of murder being now leveled against 7 Marines and one young man in the Navy for the killing of one Iraqi. The family of the dead Iraqi claims he was just minding his own business and that the troops stormed the house for no reason, shot him, then proceeded to make it look like he was an insurgent by placing a gun and a shovel by his side. Our troops say that they were making a routine sweep of the area because an IED had gone off in the column they were in and their job is to hunt down the people responsible in a quick response before the people involved have a chance to get far. They go into buildings with guns firing, not because they thirst for blood but because they are taught to do it that way for their own safety. And yet when one Iraqi is killed they are charged with murder? How does this make any sense? It just doesn’t.

This isn’t your grandpa’s country anymore. We have been feminized, sensitized and the cahoney’s this country displayed in centuries past were sold by the Clinton Administration - probably for a sexual favor. The questions the media asks the generals are proof enough. The assumptions attached to those questions are insidious and insulting but they fit in a greater context that can easily be seen if we take a step back and look at the process of change this country has had forced upon it in the last couple of decades alone.

Total immorality blatantly displayed and defended in the public square is the norm today. Gay marriage, gay pride, abortion on demand, condoms handed out to under-age students in high schools across the nation. Thousands march in the street supporting the undermining of the laws in our country by excusing illegal immigrants no matter how egregious their trespass. There is one factor that all of these issues have in common though: they are illegitimate in the eyes of the average American citizen.

The American people have not come out by the hundreds of thousands demanding gay marriage, or even abortion on demand. 75% of the people or more are against every one of these issues, but if you listen to the media it is the exact opposite ratio. To them it is only the small minority who are the “extremists” and the “bigots” that would actually deny two gay men the ability to destroy their own lives in peace and give them responsibility for an innocent baby’s upbringing – oh and incidentally that probably means they are also gay but unwilling to admit it.

Where is my proof? How about measure 36 here in Oregon in the last election? It was against gay marriage and it passed by more than 60 percent in one of the most liberal states in the nation. Similar bills were proposed in ten other states that same November and all of them passed. 75% of American citizens are against legalization of the millions of illegal aliens who have smuggled themselves into the country. No amnesty plan is acceptable to the vast majority; however the media focuses on the suffering of the Mexican nationals in the Arizona desert and inflates the rallies that took place in favor of amnesty while downplaying the significant role that communist organizations played in the orchestration of those rallies.

Planned Parenthood won’t admit it, but all over the U.S. the tide is turning against them. Abortion is less and less popular by the hour and the voters have proven that this is a losing issue by electing Bush over the pro-abortion Senator Kerry as well as all the other factors, but the media won’t report it as such and amidst all of the reasons why there is one that flows through every issue subtly but certainly a large factor.

The feminist movement in the U.S. which in its modern incarnation has destabilized the family and dehumanized masculinity has literally crushed the idea of what it is to be a man and given only one alternative: be a woman. You can see it in the TV shows, the relentless portrayal of men as idiots in commercials, you can see it in the news, you can look around society and know it deep within you as a man because we all know we are not allowed to be who we were meant to be. We are told to behave, be nice, be oriented around feelings but never be ourselves. Thus a generation of men have grown up and become leaders of our higher education, or news organizations and our politics thinking that their instincts of justice and punishment for wrong are unnatural.

Men were created to build, destroy, work hard and gain satisfaction by our efforts and the tasks that we have accomplished in life. That includes the natural instinct to defend our family and our homes which naturally extends itself to our nation. Women were created to nurture and to find meaning in relationships. They know this by instinct to be protective and gentle and this is good. But it is not good when socialists and morons chant incessantly that men are supposed to do the same thing and anyone who has the gall to solve a problem like John Wayne would, or even Clint Eastwood is thought of as not macho but unstable and even a menace to society.

Thus the pansies have the upper-hand, even if it is limp. To combat violent murderers they propose confiscation of your ability to defend yourself. To stop intolerance silence anyone who disagrees with them. And they always fight for causes that make them feel good about themselves whether or not they will help anyone in the long run.

The Miss-information that has taken over the media and our system of higher education will, unless it is stopped, be seen in the future as the downfall of the West and of the greatest power for good this world has ever seen, America. Our enemies don’t have our media’s preoccupation with gentleness and self-loathing. And if our media is allowed to continue degrading our sense of justice and our sense of pride in being Americans they and we will all soon be speaking Arabic.
