Today I reviewed an email PSA from the American Conservative Union, same informing me that they have an effort underway to have its identified membership contact Senators and ask for a vote on a certain recent Senator Cornyn introduction; such support comes in the form or nature of a petition, and in relevant part states, to-wit:
 
"RE:  Accommodating MoveOn.org and Insulting Our Troops

I am shocked and appalled.  On the eve of 9-11, while patriotic Americans were praying and silently contemplating the horrible events of that day, the radical group MoveOn.org ran a full-page ad in the New York Times calling General David Petraeus, General "Betray Us." 

But what is even more disgusting is that some of you appear to silently support this dastardly slander against this brave man who has put his life on the line for 35 years to protect the freedoms that the folks at MoveOn.org take for granted. 

When Senator John Cornyn introduced a resolution condemning MoveOn.org, it was blocked.  In fact, it wasn't even given the courtesy of a simple vote on the Senate floor.  Why? Could it be that some of you are, in fact, invested in defeat but lack the courage to go on the record?  Could it be that some of you really are willing to place partisanship above the interests of the United States?

Michael Goodwin of the New York Daily News said it best when he wrote: "Never before has it been so clear that some... are putting partisanship ahead of country...  Indeed, their performance was so shockingly awful that I am inclined to believe charges that some Democrats actually hope we lose. Up to now, I've always viewed such charges as rancid partisanship that demonized legitimate differences. Now I'm not so sure..."

I demand an immediate up-or-down vote on Senator Cornyn's resolution.  The American people deserve to know which of you stands with the American people and our brave men and women in uniform and the American people deserve to know it now!" [ End of cited text ]
 
Now, I'm aware that concurrently PFAW is emailing activists re Conservatives trying to rule all our lives with religious and racist dogma…yes, I'm sure such rodomontade is far more fetching to fogged audiences than is, say, explaining that State or corporate owned housing and no free trade collectivism will cost nationals and immigrants alike infinitely more in allies, commerce, good or any jobs, dream list entitlements, equity, or dignity…against which Iraq progress seems so much cheaper and effective.

Then there's the way our own civil war ended in 1865, Reconstruction acts appeared 1871,  maybe wars don't "just end" or nation-fixing wands get waved at ceremonies; maybe partisan or self-money raising interests don't like to see that Bush HAS made at least as much progress in Iraq as our nation once did, and in fact is confining it well under the span most of the globe's civil wars drone on ( decades, or longer ).

But I can't comprehend how some that tell us to be PC in our every fiber so easily trill that their kind deciding who's critical to diplomacy of non-resistance to foreign tough leaders (most trampling their own folks), or their type of business and celebrity luminaries deciding who's critical a worker enough (national or unionized or low-wage or not) to warrant housing, is a populist Gospel unto itself and thus every profanity, every sandbag, every ill wish (including Oklahoma Democrats quipping re Senator Inhofe's near-miss in Iraq "So close and yet so far"), and every ignorance is to be indulged against anyone whosoever speaking to the contrary or just asking questions.

Wherefore, I find MoveOn.org nature protests to acceptance of the Petraeus report wholly self-serving, deflective of facts, and contrary to the very excrutiating punctillos by which they encourage all to live in constantly recalculated political correctness; as such, I wish to note I add my name to the within relevant ACU call for a vote on the Cornyn item.
