a military spouse sounds off in a long blog and takes no prisoners .. worth the time to read her.

Rich K posted a link under comments on another posting.

It is a very,very,very long read. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t interesting or worth reading. It was both.
You can tell the lady who wrote this (only a tiny fraction of a fraction here) was pretty well PO’d and ready to take on all comers. Funny thing about so many women when angry and writing stuff like this, they generally don’t use the kind of bad language guys do.  How do ladies do that?  I mean, I know you can cuss at someone in an argument face to face when you’re really angry.  But your writing manages to get its point across minus guy talk.  I guess cussin is our steam vent. 
None of the above is in any way proven or scientific of course. Just my perhaps lopsided observation. Anyway ...

H/T Rich K

A military spouse and mom of 4, socially active and passionate about returning public debate to an era of civility and respect. I have zero tolerance for the current trend towards ad hominem attacks and the tendency to shoot the messenger to suppress the message.

My Rebuttal to a Progressive who Admonished Me to Play Nice ....
The following rebuttal is mine alone. I do not speak for my husband, for my friends, for my children, but solely for myself.

I am tired of being told to sit down and shut up.

I am tired of being told what I can and can not say.

What is “acceptable”, while my ideas and values are mocked and trampled.

I turned the other cheek when your liberal propaganda outfits refused to report on the humanitarian success stories in Iraq and Afghanistan, but delighted in the roll call of the lost as a way to bludgeon and demoralize our military.

I stopped listening to CNN and MSNBC when they openly reported lies about Marines in OIF – I know-- my husband was one of them.

I began paying attention to FOX news when only they – Oliver North, Bill Hemmer and like-minded conservatives like G. Gordon Liddy, had the courage to travel into the most dangerous parts of the battlespace to actually report on the successes of the surge, rather than filing reports that affirmed the narrative of the LSM from behind the Jersey barriers of the Green Zone.

Enough. I have had enough.

Now then ... when this lady says she’s had enough, that is not to be taken as a figure of speech.

Read all of it right HERE

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
