Looking for news on the Children’s Health and Medicare Protection fracas, I clicked through to the Sun-Sentinel and saw this tripe.

Makes sense that a liberal rag would showcase liberal cartoonists assholes. But this offends me, and I can’t begin to understand the depth of horror the families of our troops must feel looking at stuff like this on a daily basis.

My husband travels on business about once a quarter. It’s not bad; we’re all used to it, and I don’t suffer more than a pang now and then as I hope he’s eating right and getting enough rest. He’s not deployed overseas and he’s not taking enemy fire. He’s ‘been there, done that, got the t-shirt’.
Though I pray for our troops every day, especially Teresa’s son and Sgt. Hook and… well, the bloggers are special to me… It’s somehow different since I adopted a Marine. He doesn’t know me; I don’t know him. He has a family that loves him very much; he doesn’t need me to do that… But now everything is a little more personalized; I look for his name in places where I don’t want to see it and worry if he is eating right and getting enough rest.

And I take even more offense at this sort of public humiliation that degrades us all with its banal pandering to underdeveloped minds, including the author’s. I can’t imagine how much this sort of thing hurts the families and friends of our brave men and women in the military because my outrage is only a tiny fraction of what they must feel on a daily basis, faced with a largely liberal press.

But that’s why they call it editorial. In my last letter to my Marine, and in the one that goes out tomorrow and all the letters to come, I end with: “…and we can never thank you enough for your service on behalf of our country…”
That’s my editorial.
