How far has liberalism gone? Obama just fired a General who admitted he voted for him, banned Fox News and sided with radical Muslims against Christians.
"I (McCarthy) got in some hot water here last year for arguing that Gen. McChrystal, for all his undeniable valor, is a progressive big-thinker who has been conducting a sociology experiment in Islamic nation-building. It's a flawed experiment that assumes Afghan Muslims will side with us i.e., the Westerners their clerical authorities tell them are infidel invaders and occupiers against their fellow Afghan Muslims.
Nothing in the ensuing months changes my mind. To the contrary, what I've seen lately indicates that, while our troops are imperiled under strait-jacketing rules of engagement imposed by Gen. McChrystal to avoid offending Afghans, Christian missionaries have been suspended for preaching (proselytism for any belief-system other than Islam is illegal in Afghanistan)."
McChrystal has been promoting totalitarianism instead of defeating terrorists and jihadists. ""Now it can be told," elaborates Marc Ambinder at the Atlantic "The story about [McChrystal] voting for Obama is not contrived. He is a political liberal. He is a social liberal. He banned Fox News from the television sets in his headquarters. Yes, really."
As an American military man, the General was wrong in his comments about the Commander in Chief, the VP and other civilian officials. For those he should have been fired. Were he honest, he would have resigned months ago.
Yet this General was the perfect Obama military man--anti-military (his rules of engagement read like the Viet Nam War rules of engagement that killed thousands of American soldiers)--as we now know, a defender of jihadists instead of trying to win a war--a military man that in practice was anti-Christian.
Great soldier? Look at his record and policies of leadership--then decide.
