As bad as the Holocaust

When you’re a darling of the American left, you receive a free pass to say whatever you want without facing repercussions, including the comparison of the war in Iraq to the German holocaust.

Top House Democrat Charles Rangel complained on Monday that the Bush administration’s decision to concoct a “fraudulent” war in Iraq was as bad as “the Holocaust.”

“It’s the biggest fraud ever committed on the people of this country,” Rangel told WWRL Radio’s Steve Malzberg and Karen Hunter. “This is just as bad as six million Jews being killed. The whole world knew it and they were quiet about it, because it wasn’t their ox that was being gored.”

If anyone on the right had made a comparison like this about the left, every fringe and ‘kook minority group in the world would be screaming their heads off about it. But as you can see here, comparing the current administration to Nazi’s is something the left has no problem with whatsoever.

The greatest military man that never served

(This is a Patriot’s Journey post. Others joining in are Alex, Scott, JimK, and Moorewatch. If you wish to join in, feel free.)

One of the things I offered as part of last year’s Patriot’s Journey was a list of the ten tracks of John Wayne’s “America: Why I Love Her”, broken down with a brief intro for each one. Nothing like that this year, because I’m just going to offer all ten tracks at once.

Marion Morrison never actually served in uniform, but he certainly tried. He just missed being appointed a slot at Annapolis, and ended up going to USC on a football scholarship. While there, he struck up friendships with some of Hollywood’s big names, and started off as a bit part player in Westerns.

He did more to improve the image of the military than any other civilian but Bob Hope, and was unabashedly in love with America. Back in the early 70s, he released this spoken word record, and it might sound dated, but it speaks well as to why.

Give it a listen.

On this day in History

Mohammed, Prophet of Allah and founder of the Muslim religion, died in 632 AD.

I’m taking suggestions for ways to celebrate the anniversary. Difficulty: no suicide explosions.
