D-Disrespectful

Obama snubs the greatest generation. Governors gone wild. The Worst President. Plus more.

A LITTLE PROPRIETY
Re: Herbert London’s Obama on D-Day:

There is only one word to add to Herbert London’s article: Amen.
Garry Greenwood
Gearhart, Oregon

Another question for Mr. Obama:

What was so important, so germane to your task while in Europe, that you could not find time to visit Normandy? I could very well be wrong, but didn’t the French offer to divert your trip long enough so you could see for yourself the price my father’s generation paid?

If, Mr. President, you were sending a signal to those Europeans whom we liberated, and who fought by our sides that a bust of Sir Winston Churchill was no longer good enough to stand in the White House, then your lack of respect for those brave soldiers is terribly obvious.

Unfortunately, your glib talk and senseless speechifying cannot paper over your absolute lack of understanding for the sacrifices made which allow you the ignorance you so genuinely own.
Richard Roessler

In his excellent D-Day article, Mr. London wrote this: “Before President Obama stands supinely before the G-20 again and engages in a form of national self-flagellation, I would urge him to stand amid the crosses and stars in Normandy cemetery and recall the sacrifices made by those youngsters so that he could be president of the United States and breathe an unadorned version of freedom.”

I respond.

“Dream on.”
A. C. Santore


RALLY ROUND JINDAL
Re: Theodore Roosevelt Malloch’s Principles vs. Populism:

“I’m all for knowledge… But make no mistake, knowledge is not power. Truth is power.” — Gov. Bobby Jindal.

President Obama’s sole absolute truth would appear to be the Sanctity of the State; he is otherwise a radical relativist, and millions of imbecilic Americans are right there with him. For the rest of us, who would see to the restoration of this nation’s founding principles, the good governor from Louisiana would appear to offer our only hope. Jindal’s first fight will be against the Rockefeller country club wing of the GOP, whose flag will most likely be borne by Mitt Romney, Mr. Compromise himself; my vote will be for the guy with principles.

A HISTORY OF UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR
Re: Mark Tooley’s Evangelical Left Ethicist Defends Obama on Abortion

Mark Tooley should be commended for bringing to the attention of TAS readers the unethical and disingenuousness nature of Glenn Stassen and the religious left. The only thing that makes them “evangelicals” is their blind devotion to spreading the despair that is the Democrat Party and its policy. Like the Roman Catholic priests of Nazi Germany who supported Hitler’s “not worthy of life” policy, the religious left will say anything to support their political masters. Stassen and his ilk in the religious left are nothing more than political apparatchiks.

Not sure what Mr. Santore's point was in his 4th paragraph: "Slam dunk there!"
Given the humungous lack of tolerance for others' opinions on these pages, the veritable screaming and name-calling by those all-knowing souls when the word (gasp) "choice" is used, no telling.
God knows, I'm sure not "for" abortion, but have become very intolerant of intolerance when that word "choice" is criticized. It's almost a form of fascism, or maybe censorship - - believe as we of the insufferable hard-right "social" conservatives do, or else, a pox upon thee...
As noted before, the uber-sanctimonious attitudes certainly aren't very "Christianlike."
Anyway -- on a different topic, Mr. Homerick sure wasn't alone: Dubya was a disaster, rivaling Jimmy Carter as the most inept of All-Time; but I fear that the Narcissist-in-Chief and his Merry Marxists in congress will accelerate the demise of this once-great country as it completes the job of flushing itself down the crapper.

Cam Jankowiak| 5.21.09 @ 8:57AM

I am confident that history will prove Mr. Homerick wrong. It is the current resident of the White House who will outshine Jimmy Carter as the absolute worst president ever...ever!

Richard Baker| 5.21.09 @ 1:42PM

Served in the Army during the Carter administration and was embarrassed for my country when deployed overseas. Allied military would ask me what was going on in Washington and as a serving NCO I'd say that I supported my Commander-in Chief. Remember, Jack Singlaub was retired for publicly disagreeing with the Carter plan to remove ourselves from Asia.
Obama seems to plan to make Jimmy Carter appear to be a Rock of Gibraltar, in comparison. God help the United States of America from incompetence at 1600 Pennsylvania.

Quin| 5.21.09 @ 3:05PM

To Judy Beumler, concerning Bob Livingston. Having watched the man work at such close range for so many years, I can assure you he would have made an excellent speaker. Your judgment on that issue is right on target. As for his "indiscretion," it showed a weakness, surely -- but not an arrogance. The wonderful thing about Bob Livingston is that his ego never grew outsized. When there is time and the proper forum, I can tell all sorts of great stories that show a truly endearing lack of egotism or arrogance. Congress needs more like him today: smart, principled, savvy (a different thing from smart), and tough as nails without ever losing decency and kindness.
