Give 'em hell, Smitty

Smitty, United States Navy reservist and official blog sidekick at The Other McCain, has announced that he is taking a hiatus from his blogging duties and deploying to Afghanistan.

His announcement is lyrical and literally poetic, both in the original Gaelic and in translation. He wraps up with a line of poetry that translates as "Come, you sons of hounds, and I will give you flesh," and continues:

‘Come, you sons of hounds, and I will give you flesh’.

And that the attitude that must be presented to the enemies of liberty; Taliban in Afghanistan, or Progressives closer to home. Thinking you stupid, they will continue to say that you ‘vote against your own interest’, and turn down their bread-and-circus substitutes for Liberty. Liberty ain’t cheap, and rejecting Progressivism may resemble pain for a while. That’s not pain. That’s Socialist weakness leaving the country, and don’t let these liars sell you otherwise. Stand and deliver, the way a Progressive cannot, for, at heart, modern Progressivism is a synonym for cowardice.

Smitty, thank you for your service to America, past present and future.

(Smitty requests that we make his announcement, entitled Cogadh no Sith, the most linked post in The Other McCain history, so spread it around!)
