It appears that I've been busted. Two days ago I posted a rant on how United States Liberals hate Christmas. Although I could have written much more on the topic to drive the message home (so-to-say), it was getting past midnight and I was exhausted, yet I still felt a tremendous need to get something posted before I quit for the night. So, I kept it down to a simple paragraph and an even more simple picture which I grabbed in haste from a Google image search. Just so you know, this is not my typical method of publishing my frustrations for you all to see. I am not a typical fly-by-post kinda guy. With that said, it should be known that I make every effort to ensure that my rants include factually correct information. Unfortunately, I erred in my last post and felt that I should immediately come clean with an apology and a correction. The last thing I need is to be accused of cooking up stories to destroy the image of others. That's a reputation better left to the likes of Dan Rather and Mary Mapes.
Anyway, one of the emails I received yesterday pointed out something quite disturbing to me...
Mo,
Do you realize that you're latest post which claims that "U.S. Liberals hate Christmas" uses a picture of a group of people that are not even part of American politics? The peeps in that picture are British citizens campaigning for the "Liberal Democrat" party in merry old England!
Just thought you would like to know.

After reading that, I'm sure you can realize the amount of shock and embarrassment I was in. Never the less, I was determined to set the record straight - hopefully soon so that nobody would notice. If I just swap out the picture for one littered with our own homegrown moonbats, the problem would be resolved and that would be the end of it. I did, however, hate like anything having to replace the picture because it just looked so good for the post. Then, it occurred to me; I remembered a story I read last week about how the commies over at MoveOn.org ran an anti-war Christmas advertisement claiming how horrible it was that United States soldiers would not be home with their families this Christmas holiday and it was all George Bushes fault (emphasis mine). Much to our surprise *cough* *cough*, there were several things in the ad that just appeared to be inconsistent with MoveOn.org's message as described by a spokesman for the Defense Department...
Todd Vician, a spokesman with the U.S. Defense Department, told Cybercast News Service after viewing the ad that none of the men featured in the photograph was wearing U.S. uniforms. "We don't have that style of desert camouflage," he said.
Vician noted that combat fatigues worn by the Marines and the Army have "a pixilated design," and Air Force BDUs (Battle Dress Uniforms) have a different pattern than the uniforms shown in the spot.
In addition to the men wearing foreign uniforms, Vician stated that he had never seen U.S. soldiers using meal containers like those shown in the ad.
The spot contains another discrepancy. While the photo of the soldiers as seen in the advertisement shows one man wearing shorts, a still of the same picture on the MoveOn.org website shows the same man wearing long pants.
And so I figured that if it was ok for MoveOn.org to doctor pictures of Brits to look like Yanks in order to get their message across, then why can't I???
Now that I know my picture more accurately represents American Liberals as the ass clowns that they really are, I can finally sleep better at night.
Shouts to Michelle Malkin for the soldier pic.
According to Jay Leno, they can't be from England, teeth look too good :^P
