Passionate America, Wild Bill: No longer covering the war

I just looked thru the Passionate America website and see that NONE of the contributors, let alone the stay-at-home-dad who runs it, 'Wild' Bill, have posted about the Iraq War, the Afganistan War or the Global War on Terror (GWOT) since at least the beginning of May. When I recently asked them who in their lineup of contributors would be covering the war, I was informed:

Billy Joe if you would like to cover the war then go ahead on your blog. We’ll get to it on our own schedule.


I wonder why they're so nonchalant about getting all of the good Iraq news out? Is it because the Commander in Chief declared victory 3+ years ago? Did they get bored with their favorite war? For a group of people who supposedly support our troops & their mission so much, doesn't it seem like they would spend more time paying attention to the wars and perhaps even devoting more than 1 occasional, vague sentence that lamely expresses their "support" for the troops.

A few years ago, they used to bitch that the 'liberal' media wasn't covering the good news about the wars. Now, right-wingers don't even bother covering the good news themselves. If we're engaged in WWIII (or is it WWIV now?), as they claim, why do you suppose the wars no longer warrant their own posts on the Passionate America blog? I bet back in WWI & WWII war hawks discussed the war and it's progress every single day. Instead, over at Passionate America, you have news about everything but the war.

What's wrong, right wingers? How will we win the war when you guys are cutting-and-running from even fighting for the mission on the web? I fail to see how a complete failure to discuss the wars shows any sort of respect to the soldiers who are over there.

I didn't mean to pollute your blog with tough talk. I always thought Republican bloggers were fighting men, not meek choirboys.

I'll try to be more considerate to your sensitivities in the future.
