Read - JunkYardBlog
I am not a big blog writer; I am a big blog reader. One of my favorites, a must read everyday has been JunkYardBlog.
http://junkyardblog.transfinitum.net/
I hate seeing someone so talented loose faith in those they are writing for but yesterday I think that happened at JunkYardBlog. In trying to make a point about the prisoners released from G’tmo showing up on the battlefield again to fight our troops, bp said, “WE ARE INSANE… We're playing a game of catch, release and kill with hardcore terrorists. In a sane time, such a game would generate a massive, administration-ending scandal.”
The rant continued: “Yes, yes, it's more important that we let these animals make their baseless charges that we torture books than we show how remorseless and ready to kill these guys really are. That is the attitude of the press and much of the nation.”
This ended up being the conclusion: “And therefore, we are insane. Our civilization--what's left of it--is suicidally insane.”
As a loyal reader, I objected in the comment section: “What? The majority of us think all this crap about G’tmo is the bull the media can’t get off its collective pea brains. To suddenly say the population is insane makes one wonder what side of the bed you woke up on today! Keep your focus on the source, the msm who still don’t get the message that the people have had enough of them and their slanted reporting. You have done such good work to this point, don’t become a defeatist yourself. Do us all a favor and rethink this post.”
bp - felt I needed more education on the subject: “Don, we’re insane because we greet news that we have released terrorists from Gitmo who have turned up right back in the war trying to kill our troops again with a collective yawn. And that’s among the war’s strongest supporters. This should be a scandal, and in normal times it would be. But we war supporters have had to spend so much time defending the administration from the leftist Gitmo nonsense that we don’t have time to gin up a little righteous anger of our own.
Insane.”
I don’t think I need to be educated, I think that the information needs to get out and good bloggers like bp need to do it. So I respond this way: “bp – who is ignoring the animals let loose? It is not the people; it is those that we must rely on to bring us information. I have know about the fact that those prisoners released, who are not suing us for acts against their “civil rights”, end up recaptured or dead on the battlefield.
However, what do we hear about from the MSM and most blogs? We hear about nasty treatment at G’tmo and now news that we have worse dungeons on ships hiding from the world so we can torture these “poor men” privately.
It is not as you said, “we’re insane because we greet news that we have released terrorists from Gitmo who have turned up right back in the war trying to kill our troops again with a collective yawn. And that’s among the war’s strongest supporters. This should be a scandal, and in normal times it would be. But we war supporters have had to spend so much time defending the administration from the leftist Gitmo nonsense that we don’t have time to gin up a little righteous anger of our own.”
It is up to you and others like you to keep this information in front of us. Wretchard, Michelle, CQ, and you just to name a few have had a go at it but you as a group do not have a readership equal to the NY Times. You are a good writer, people rely on you to get information we need.
However, keep calling me and those like me insane. There are other places I can get the information. You under-estimate the intelligence of your readership. How lefty, elitist of you.”
I wish to point out that we need good bloggers to put some clarity in the bitter struggle for the truth in this day of Leftist MSM elite. bp is one of those bloggers we need, but support will not come from insulting those who follow the words, seeking truth.
