Origins of 'Hate America First'

I spent the entire decade of the 1960s and most of the 1970s constantly engaged with students who regurgitated the communist philosophy their professors were teaching them in the leading universities of our country. Not all professors, of course, were doing this, but many of the most prominent and vocal were.

The "in thing" – or as we would say today, the politically correct thing – was to hate America and blame it for most of the ills of our world. "Scholars" vigorously rewrote American history so that all honor, religion and pride was expunged from it. The Vietnam War gave them a great proving ground to sharpen their techniques of "blaming America." As a result, American soldiers returned from grueling tours of duty only to be spit upon by these activist students.

Some of the brightest and best students were turned into dedicated activists who planned careers in strategic places of influence to spread this communist-inspired perception of America. Many went into journalism and the media. Some became university professors and teachers. Others went into politics – mostly becoming influential career bureaucrats in strategic branches of our government.

Now we are witnessing the results of these dedicated professors, who used their college classes as a pulpit to convert their students to a communist view of America. The fact that CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, et. al, are all slanted toward radical liberal thinking didn't accidentally happen. It is the compounded results of the quantum shift toward the left in the thinking of the 1960s. I say compounded because these original disciples of the 1960s produced more converts that are more radical than they were.

There are war correspondents in Iraq who look for any incident that they can turn against our American soldiers and use to discredit the Bush administration's policies in Iraq.

Very little coverage is given of the atrocities that daily are brought against our soldiers. Not much is made of the beheadings and murders of defenseless Allied personnel – unless, of course, there is a way to turn it into somehow being America's fault.

In this latest incident, the action of one Marine who was in the midst of a violent house-to-house firefight has been blown into an international event. Never mind that the terrorist who was killed was using the refuge of a Mosque to fire upon the Marine and his comrades. Never mind that many of the wounded terrorist set off grenades to kill those who came to give them aid. Never mind that many terrorists played dead only to shoot soldiers in the back. But none of the atmosphere of this dirty war with the brutal barbarism of the Muslim terrorists is felt in the rarefied atmosphere of the media newsrooms.

These liberal news people are doing more to inflame the hatred of the Muslim world against America than any other factor.

One thing is certain: Had these people reported the invasion of Europe during World War II in this way, we would all be speaking German now.

I do hope that Americans will respond with outrage to this slander of one of our brave Marines. These brave young men face dangers daily that would send most Americans into a nervous breakdown. Let's not reward their sacrifice and bravery with an indictment for being a "war criminal."
