American Journalist Michael Kelly dies in Iraq

Michael Kelly, the editor at large of The Atlantic Monthly and the chief editorial advisor of National Journal, was killed on Thursday night, April 4, 2003, while on assignment in Iraq. He is the first American journalist to be killed in the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" conflict. For those who do not know who this great man was, his colleague at the Washington Post, Howard Kurtz, has written an obituary which can be read here, and the statement from Atlantic Media on his death can be read here. POINT -- The Way extends our most heartfelt condolences to Mr. Kelly's wife, sons, family and friends for his tragic loss.
What hasn't been noticed -- except by POINT -- The Way -- amidst the news reporting and grieving, is the war protestors' complete lack of acknowledgement, compassion or crying (or should that be 'whining?') for this man's death. Surely, the protestors are against all deaths, aren't they? Surely, the protestors are keeping track of everyone's death in the conflict, aren't they? Surely, the protestors care about American deaths as much as those of the children that they claim, through their inside expert war contacts, the United States is deliberately targeting, don't they?
Or do they? Are these protestors so spoiled by their easy, fat and happy American lives that they no longer actually keep track of which American citizens are dying? Are they so unaware of the Americans getting killed that they actually no longer care about any American killed in the conflict, or -- is it possible? -- are they actually rooting for Americans, be they soldiers or reporters, to be killed?
Perhaps they are in cahoots with democrat senator John F. Kerry, who said last Tuesday, April 2nd, " What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States.." Haven't the communists been, at least, thinking about, if not actively working toward, a regime change in the United States for quite some time, probably longer than your grandparents have been alive? In fact, aren't the communists funding the activities of these same protestors, who have forgotten their fat along with Michael Kelly and our troops, deferring to those "targeted" children?
Dennis Miller said it well this week on Leno when he spoke of Michael Moore's inane lack of control at the recent Hollywood mutually masturbatory Oscar awards ceremony, stating that, paraphrasing, Moore is an idiot, incapable of understanding that President Bush and our troops are fighting for Moore's right to be so. Nonetheless, the actions of these protestors, simply, and of John Kerry in particular, border on treason, a fact of which we should all remain aware and vigilant.
The downfall of the United States of America, should it come, will be from within, not from without. Those who understand what it is to be an American citizen will be the backs upon which the foundation and future of the United States of America shall rest. Are we ready?
