Two recent news events tellingly reveal why Faux News, while pretending to be THE BEST FRIEND OF THE MILITARY, is in reality the worst enemy of many, if not most, ordinary soldiers.

News item #1 is that Congressman Ron Paul tops the list of recipients of presidential campaign donations by members of the military.

News item # 2 is that, after Ron came in 5th in the Iowa Straw Poll (after spending little time or money there)out of eleven contenders, Faux News excluded him from their reporting of the results although they did report on others much further down the list, such as ninth or tenth.

Why do ordinary military men and women give more money to Ron Paul than to any other GOP candidate? Because he, and he alone, has the courage and devotion to the truth to explain to Americans that they were lied into the war in Iraq. The soldiers who support Ron Paul, a military veteran himself, are patriotic Americans who have volunteered to sacrifice for their country, but not for the abstract pipe dreams of the neocon nerds at the American Enterprise Institute. They understand that their colleagues have died by the thousands for no good reason, and that all of this unnecessary death and maiming is enabled by the professional liars and obfuscators at Faux News, along with talking heads like Laura Ingraham, Limbaugh, Hannity, and the rest of the neocon megaphone-mouths.

Military men and women cannot criticize the president while they are still in uniform, but many of them are silently repudiating him, his neocon advisors, and his disastrous foreign policy by sending their dollars to the Ron Paul for President campaign.

Shame on their military colleagues who allow themselves to be used as Bush administration props nearly every evening by Faux News as it “reports” on all the “progress” being made in Iraq.
