An open letter to America’s college cupcakes on Veterans Day

An open letter to America’s college cupcakes on Veterans Day.

Dear College Cupcakes:

America has watched for the last year or so, as our nation’s universities have been consumed
by a new strain of left wing totalitarianism that has all the traits of the haunting Marxist
dictatorships of the past.

Free thought and expression and discussion are disappearing from college campuses and being
replaced by behavior and lexicons out of 1984.

In the greatest arenas of free speech across this land, you shriek and howl and cry and stamp
your feet like two year olds when someone disagrees with you.

You have mental meltdowns when reading passages from the world’s greatest literature that
somehow offend you in every conceivable way, shape or form.

You feel oppressed and terrorized when viewing someone in a Halloween costume that you
dislike.

You are triggered by opposing views from Presidential candidates, who do nothing more than
say things that you may disagree with.

When triggered by every imaginable word, phrase and action on this planet, you find it
necessary to retreat to so-called safe spaces, where you will be further coddled by counselors,
Play Doh and Bubble Guppy videos.

Like raving martinets, you accuse anyone you disagree with of being a racist, a rapist, a sexist
or any other derogatory term you can create to soothe your tender and warped psyches.

You have been told for your whole lives how special you are and these fantastical words have
been reinforced by the ridiculous behavior of helicopter parents and idiotic teachers who found
it necessary to control every facet of your lives and ensure that each of you precious little
snowflakes received a trophy, even though many of you only deserved a kick in the behind.

Your latest irrational tirades concern the [fear of re-electing DONALD] TRUMP [and the injustice of holding HAMAS accountable for their horrific massacre(s) in Israel]. Inspired by
the lunatic behavior of your socialist professors, you are the laughing stock of the rest of the
country as you hold cry-ins, need therapy dogs and hide under the covers in your dorm rooms
because a man was elected President.

Today is Veterans Day, when we honor those who served, which I have no doubt none of you
ever have. The nation particularly honors our combat veterans who drained deep the chalice
of courage and who fought against real racists, like the Nazis; real boogeymen like the Imperial
Japanese Army, the Chinese, Victor Charlie, the Republican Guard and the Taliban.

Today, at this very moment, as you tearfully meltdown …, our current military is in harm’s way in {Eastern Europe, the Taiwan Strait & the Middle East], fighting real sexists who call themselves [freedom fighters but instead support genocide].

King George, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Saddam, these were real threats, some of
the greatest madmen the world had ever seen and our veterans fought and defeated them
in hot and cold wars.

Our veterans, men and women, many of whom were your age at the time they served, never had the luxury to wallow in self-pity over imagined nonsense and monsters.

Their threats weren’t created in the hallowed ivory towers of Harvard Yard. Their threats
were created in the British Parliament, in Bavarian beer halls, in jungle outposts and
jettisoned across the globe to cause havoc and death. The only thing that stopped them,
the only thing that prevented the world from descending into darkness was the US military
and our veterans.

There were no safe spaces on Iwo Jima or Omaha Beach. There were no cry ins on
Bunker Hill or at the Frozen Chosin. There were no counselors in the Ia Drang Valley or
at Khe Sanh. There was no time to protest imaginary enemies at Fallujah. The enemies
were real and were doing their damnedest to kill Americans and destroy our way of life.

As I stated, our enemies were fighting against Americans who were mainly your age.
I and many Americans have serious doubts that you aggrieved marshmallows could rise
to the occasion and fight anyone, much less the Redcoats or the Waffen SS.

How and why America has gotten to a point where being a wimp is looked upon as normal behavior for young people is … a disgrace in itself.

Instead of claiming half the nation is racist …, you precious little
snowflakes might want to get off your asses and read about men who overcame real
prejudice and racism and fought for their country; like the Tuskegee Airmen.

Instead of being offended by words in books, you precious little cupcakes might want to
step out of your safe spaces and read about American matadors at places like Trenton,
the Wheatfield, Seminary Ridge, the Meuse-Argonne, the Bulge, New Guinea, 73 Easting
and Tal Afar.

…….

Suck it up buttercups.
