Protect the Right to Hunt Iraqis

By Micah Holmquist

Despite the triumph of red states, the MSM is now reporting that an American hero is under investigation for protecting our land by shooting a dangerous unarmed prisoner in the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

In fact, despite victory by those that Michael Reagan correctly calls “the real Americans who don’t live in La La Land,” this story wouldn’t exist if not for the actions of Kevin Sites, a “reporter” working for NBC division of the MSM. (Readers are encouraged to send in suggestions on how to make fun of NBC’s name when it is not connected to PMSNBC.) Sites—we should not forget that imagesagainstwar.com posted pictures of his on their site—may have actually seen a Marine shoot a prisoner on November 14—video footage tends to back up that theory—but, if that were the case, he should have kept his mouth shut. Instead, this Seymour Hersh imitator is now saying that our brave military heroes killed three more prisoners who did not appear to be a threat.

This is outrageous! For those who have forgotten September 11, we are at war! War involves killing people. As Dutch Martin of townhall.com writes, “The Marine Who Killed the Iraqi Insurgent Did the Right Thing.”

There is no precedent for caring about enemy lives. Presidential candidates don’t talk about them, and nobody cared all that much when we killed prisoners in Afghanistan or when we helped the Northern Alliance get rid of some of them back in 2001.

There isn’t outrage over the estimated 800 civilian deaths in Fallujah, so why is the protection of America from this terrorist getting so much attention?

Clearly there is a small group of radical Iraqi rights activists who are leading this attack on our values, our traditions and our very way of life.

The right to hunt Iraqis has been with for over a decade. It is something that new recruits to the military have been able to look forward to. It is a way of life -our way of life- and we must do everything possible to keep it.

The Iraqi rights activists don’t care. They want to destroy America and are determined to turn this latest courageous act into another Abu Ghraib, by which they mean neither a prison nor a series of acts of abuse and torture, but rather a blown out of proportion media scandal designed to weaken America’s resolve to defeat terrorism, no matter what that means.

In pursuit of this anti-American goal, Iraqi rights activists will ignore not only the fact that Iraqi lives are worthless, but will even pretend that they should be valued as if they were pardoned turkeys. Fortunately the intellectual response to this ridiculousness is easy to come up with. As Bill O’Reilly said on the November 16 edition of his radio program, “if you do not know that we are the good guys in Iraq… then you don’t know anything.”

I, however, think that a secular guy like O’Reilly doesn’t look into God’s plan for the planet He created in seven days, which makes the answer obvious. If God didn’t want us to kill Iraqis, He wouldn’t have made them vulnerable to bullets.
