Judy Woodruff to Gates: Doesn't Your Tell-All Decrease Troop Morale? Matt Lauer to Gates: Doesn't Your Tell-All Represent a Dishonorable Betrayal? Katie Couric to Gates: Aren't You a Dick?

This post pretty much correlates to what I've been writing.  The left criticizes Gates for writing the book and claiming that it hurts America.  Like they cared!  No, they do care, but not about America.  They care about themselves and their place within American society.  They do not care about America itself.  So, the accusation is meaningless.

The accusation would have meaning if they would actually defend this country, which they don't.  Witness Benghazi.  In normal times, the accusation would have meaning.  But these aren't normal times.

It is galling to have these people, who are without honor themselves, lecturing somebody like Gates on the issue of honor.

The left and the Democrat party are just like the Roman General Ricimer, who systematically destroyed what was left of the Roman Empire.  Ricimer did that to preserve his position in that rapidly crumbling society, not because he cared about it.

The Democrats and the left are doing the same thing.  Besides Benghazi, take the jobs issue.  No jobs created in five years.  Now they want to import more people in order to do jobs that American supposedly won't do.  But that is bullcorn.  If you wanted to eat, you will do any job.  That includes cleaning toilets and mopping floors.  But instead of insistence upon work, the Democrats want to pay Americans not to work, and then import people into the country through so-called immigration reform so that they can get more voters that they like.

It's a win-win for them and a loser for America.  Instead of keeping the work ethic strong, they corrupt it with free stuff.  They get the votes of people of are afraid of losing their free stuff and then they get new people who aren't Americans by birth and who consistently vote for them.  All the while, American spirit and character are being systematically destroyed.
