Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Daryl Metcalf is already on record saying he doesn’t care about victims of domestic violence (or, to be more precise, that he hates gays more than he cares about domestic violence). Now it turns out Metcalf also hates the environment more than he loves America.

What else would explain Metcalf’s reply to retired Army Captain Jonathan Powers, who fought bravely in Iraq for more than a year, when Powers and Operation FREE (on the web: operationfree.net) invited Metcalf to meet with veterans seeking to raise awareness of how global climate change would threaten U.S. National Security?

I believe that any veteran lending their name, to promote the leftist propaganda of global warming and climate change, in an effort to control more of the wealth created in our economy, through cap and tax type policies, all in the name of national security, is a traitor to the oath he or she took defend the Constitution of our great nation!

Remember Benedict Arnold before giving credibility to a veteran who uses their service as a means to promote a leftist agenda.

Drill Baby Drill!!!

This time, at least Metcalf is picking on someone his own size –- as opposed to last month’s crusade against victims of domestic violence.

But something more needs to be said about this. The event Metcalf was invited to, while it promoted action against climate change, was not about saving wildlife and preserving the polar ice cap. It was about national security: it was a group of veterans talking about what it would mean for the safety of American families if the Earth continues to warm.

Metcalf obviously believes that won’t happen, and he’s entitled to his opinion (however wrong he may be). But Metcalf was wrong to call veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan “traitors” for simply talking about how to better protect America.

Here at the DLCC, country always comes before party or ideology. Rep. Metcalf needs to get those priorities straight.
