John Glaser, one of those smelly, limp-wristed hippies who writes over at AntiWar.com<\/a>, celebrates his right to free speech by denigrating the recent American reawakening of the value of those who defend Glaser’s free speech rights. he takes up the case of Rick Strandlof;<\/p>\n

Colorado resident Rick Glen Strandlof also \u201cfaced criminal charges for falsely claiming to have been awarded the Purple Heart for wounds and the Silver Star for heroism in the battle of Fallujah during the Iraq war,\u201d and for using an alias when he established a group called the Colorado Veterans Alliance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Glaser doesn’t mention that Strandlof also was a member of Iraq veterans Against the War, in fact he was their head mental health counselor to treat PTSD episodes at Winter Soldier II in Silver Spring ,Maryland. Also, Strandlof made advertisemnts for Democrat candidates with his anti-war message – so apparently, some anti-war types place some value on medals and war stories. But not Glaser;<\/p>\n

…we are living in such a culture of honor, so subservient to militaristic symbolism and emblems of primordial brutishness, so reverent for the acclaimed sacrifice of those who devote themselves to violence at the order of the state, that such a violation of the human right to speak without harm to his neighbor can be passed unanimously in our legislature. This law, especially if it is upheld by the Supreme Court, is indicative of just how deeply sunk are Americans\u2019 fondness for a martial culture, placing it even above the equally arbitrary religious pieties so prevalent here (since I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s against the law to declare yourself the messiah).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes. we’ve elevated our soldiers above the son of God, you clucking pusillanimous pullet. by not mentioning that Strandlof pulled his wool over the eyes of the anti-war crowd, he nearly avoids pointing how Stolen valor is actually fraud who harms us all. Even the numbnuts who don’t believe in valor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
