PTBC J-Log

A conservative OPINION blog --with bite. OPINION by Joel Johannesen.

Wednesday, January 05, 2005

Michelle Malkin writes about life-saving in progress, gratefully

Written by Joel Johannesen on Wednesday January 05 2005 at 12:47 PM

WARNING from a grateful conservative Canadian: Anathema to the liberal-left in Canada!  Blogger and columnist Michelle Malkin writes an excellent account of the (nuclear-powered!) aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which is saving thousands of lives in south-east Asia.  I’m not sure which part of that opener is anathematic to liberals.  Likely every bit of it. 

Greetings, America-haters. Do you think you could stop raving against our “war criminals” and “killing machines”—and you, Teddy Kennedy, could you stop panting over those Abu Ghraib photos—for a moment and join me in praise for our military’s compassion and innovation?

At the drop of a hat, the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group sped from Hong Kong to help survivors of the tsunami disaster in southern Asia. How are the unmatched speed, range and overall mobility of the American super carrier possible? Twin nuclear reactors.

Believe it or not, the USS Abraham Lincoln has been banned from docking at certain politically correct ports because of its reactors. For the moment, global environuts have stopped attacking the aircraft carrier over the nuke issue. But you can count on the eco-Luddites returning to their hysterical protests as soon as all the aid has been delivered.

[...]

And she ends her salute with a poignant thought, which is as valid in describing the United Nation as it is in describing liberal-left Canada: “At the United Nations, saluting our troops is called jingoism. Where I’m from, it’s called gratitude.”  I’m grateful too, as are many of my Canadian compatriots.
