George S Patton 2

The greatest war movie ever made by Hollywood was “Patton” starring George C. Scott as General George S. Patton. That is my opinion but I think I can back that up with the fact that the 1970 movie won seven Oscars. I highly recommend you buy or rent this movie. Although it was edited for dramatization and for the day and time of the year the movie was released, Scott’s rendition of General Patton is spot on from the information I have read of the good General. (Scott’s characterization of Patton’s famous Third Army speech – sanitized for the ‘70’s from the actual speech)

I know you are thinking, “What does Patton have to do with what I usually write about?”

Be patient I will segue from Patton to the point.

In the movie “Patton” the General same to be plagued with bad press which got him relieved of his Command twice. The essence of the bad press was the brilliant General could not keep his big mouth shut concerning personal feelings that were considered politically incorrect for his day.

I immediately thought of Patton when I read New York Sun article about Federal Prosecutor Gordon Kromberg being attacked by critics for pursuing relentlessly the enemies of America – Islamist terrorists.

The basis for the attacks on Kromberg is not because he is incompetent, rather American Islamists and the Left are upset that Kromberg is doing his job too successfully. In stead of attacking his competency Kromberg’s critics are trying to portray him as a racist bigot of Muslims and thus should not be in a position of Prosecutor due to bias.

How are Islamists and Leftists pulling the racist Muslim victim card? They are using Kromberg’s big mouth to dilute his brilliant and relentless pursuit of the enemies of America during the Global War on Terror.

Thus you see why I thought of Patton when I read about Kromberg.

All Kromberg wants to do is nail the enemies of America which he is doing even with the restraints and legal loop-wholes of Islamists and Leftists taking advantage of America’s legal system.

As far as I am concerned Kromberg is an American hero in the mold of General Patton. Unfortunately Kromberg may have to watch his mouth because the concept of Political Correctness is a more powerful tool used by Islamists and Leftists today than in Patton’s day.

Robert Spencer 2

Winfield Myers writes a revue (one might even call it an analysis) of a Robert Spencer speech sponsored by the Middle East Forum (MEF).

The theme of the speech was the word “jihad” and the near total absence of the word by Republican and Democratic candidates for President in using the word about America’s enemies.

Spencer (who I admire very much) believes the Presidential candidates’ lack of using jihad in naming America’s enemies is due to the fear of being labeled a racist and rocking the Politically Correct boat.

For the Democrats I totally agree with Spencer. They are laying in wait with their political pop guns to shoot the accusation of racist to any candidate that accuses Islam or Islamism of operating a jihad against America.

For the Republicans there may be a tinge of fear of bucking Political Correctness however I suspect most of the Republicans wish to win the nomination on issues that do not connect them to President Bush Policy on Iraq. The reason for this is that the Mainstream Media (MSM) and the Democratic Party have used half truths and out right lies to manipulate the American public that Iraq is a failure and the President is to blame.

The reality is there is plenty of blame game to go around from Bush, to rebellious elements in his Intelligence modus operandi and within the State Department as well as with duplicity in Congress among Democrats that switch back and forth on Iraq depending on how it can undermine President Bush or politically aggrandize a Congressman.

Take or leave my thoughts on the Candidates’ reluctance to name America’s enemies and their declared holy war known as “jihad.” Otherwise I am in total agreement with Robert Spencer.

Islam schools teach jihad

Here is the Left’s explanation for the violence of home grown Mohammedans: Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

So there you go. It is the ultimate in appeasement and burying one’s head in the sand. The left cannot believe their own eyes: when individual Mohammedans go on a murderous rampage, political correctness cannot associate the perfidy with political Islam. NO! It must be a mysterious malady that neurologically explodes in a Mohammedan’s brain which causes him or her to kill innocent non-Mohammedan Westerners.

Carolyn Glick examines the mystery how the police authorities and Universities of the West promote Jihadists and discriminate against Jews.
