Andy Rooney: Old Angry, Crotchety Liberal Just Can’t Honor America on Memorial Day

Posted in: Main,War on Terror,WTF,You Tube - VIDEO

How absolutely, pathetically typical. Sadly, the following is a few too many minutes with Andy Rooney.

Okay, let’s just call Andy Rooney for what he is … a fool and an idiot. It is a sad and bitter man who uses Memorial Day for his political liberal agenda on war. Hey Andy, let’s all just sing Kumbaya and see if that protects liberty, freedom and lives. The fact that you cannot just say thank you is astounding. The fact that a miserable, old liberal can’t see the good in the fact that millions of people have been liberated from tyranny in the course of a war is so typical.

 
We use the phrase, gave their lives. But they didn’t give their lives, there lives were taken from them
There is more bravery at war than in peace, and it seems wrong that we have so often saved this virtue to use for our least noble activity – war.
The goal of war is to cause death to other people.
Remembering doesn’t do the remembered any good of course its for ourselves, the living.
 
So how out of touch is Andy Rooney with the public? According to a Rasmussen poll, 44% of Americans say Memorial Day, which honors those who gave their lives for our country, is one of the nation’s most important holidays. Just 7% rate it as one of the least important holidays. 75% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the U.S. military, you know Andy, those people that just like to kill others. Only 11% view the military unfavorably, while 14% are undecided and too busy texting their vote for American Idol.
 

Andy Rooney would have you believe that the United States of America goes to war just for the hell of it. That we have not liberated so many through the sacrifice of so many.

As the Gateway Pundit perfectly stated, “It’s just a shame this bitter man had to use the Memorial Day holiday to spread his sick propaganda.”

Is it any wonder that most military veterans also happen to be Republicans? 

Scott Martin at The Examiner has a great analysis of Andy Rooney and his misguided liberal view on war.

A more dangerous perspective would be difficult to contemplate. War is our least noble activity? The reality is that American wars have historically been America at its noblest. We have fought for our freedom, we have fought for the freedom of others who were too weak or too afraid to fight for their own. We have fought hot wars against the evils of Hitler. We fought and won a cold war against the communist Soviet Union. Until recently, we warred against the evils of terrorism. Rooney’s words opposed our heroic actions at every turn.

Even though Andy Rooney cannot say thank you … we will say it for him. Thank you to all that have sacrificed their lives and their futures for ours.
