The guy who writes the immensely popular liberal blog, “Daily Kos” has found an old time, red-blooded patriot that he likes. Believe it or not, the man who wrote that American contractors working in Iraq deserved to be murdered by terrorists, has taken a shine to our own Virginian, Patrick Henry.
Yes, it was liberal darling Daily Kos, Markos Moulitsas Zúniga himself, who penned these words while gloating over the brutal murders of four American citizens who were working as civilian contractors in Fallujah, Iraq: “I feel nothing over the death of merceneries (sic). They aren’t in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them.”
Yesterday found Kos writing glowingly of our Virginia hero, Patrick Henry:
“When our nation was founded, we had men of real character and courage fighting for their nascent America, one in which liberty and freedom trumped the authorative (sic) tendencies of the monarchy. Patrick Henry gave words to those efforts: ‘Give me liberty or give me death!’“
Kos probably thinks that because Patrick Henry did not take up arms during the American Revolution, that he must have been the Democrats’ kind of patriot. Well think again, Kos and the rest of you lily-liver, lame liberals. Patrick Henry literally risked his very neck with the words he ranted against our enemy. He was as much a warrior as anyone with a musket, and he would have been strung up by the British far quicker than any uniformed enlistee.
Hear Patrick Henry’s famous words reenacted; listen to the rallying cries of that great God-fearing Virginian and decide for yourself if anyone at “Daily Kos” would ever agree with such fiery rhetoric, preached at Saint John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia. Before Henry ever arrived at the phrase about liberty and death, he shouted “WE MUST FIGHT!” and he repeated, “WE MUST FIGHT“, calling upon the GOD of HOSTS!

P.S. If you are a Liberal, or a Democrat, I implore you to please listen to the words of our great founding father Patrick Henry, and perhaps you will be moved to join the right side of this, our generation’s, historic battle before it is too late to save your body and soul.

UPDATE 3/27/2006: “Expose the Left” writes that Markos Moulitsas of The Daily Kos is a communist and has the video from CNN’s Reliable Sources to back him up. Hmm …

I am embarrassed for you. Go read Mr. Ed’s History Lesson. It’s not that Patrick Henry “literally risked his very neck with the words he ranted against our enemy” (”ranted”?) — it’s that he led an insurrection into a conflict with armed enemy forces.

Jamie - you have no need to be embarrassed for Kerfuffles. Kerfuffles is more than delighted to learn that just two days after the beginning of the war, hot-headed Henry jumped upon his trusty steed and rallied the Hanover County militia to confront the Royal Governor in Williamsburg. The more I learn about this particular Virginia patriot, the more I love him! How about you? And PS, in those days - ALL able bodied males were members of their local militias - with arms to boot!
