JP

I apologize for the mis-information. Jp, best to you guy. You and your fellow soldiers, be safe. For God’s sake, watch out for those IED’s.

A much read and well loved blogger is back in the sandbox. His initial report back is a “feeling of positive changes in the air!” Go check out Doc in the Box. Give him your support and well wishes. While you at it, don’t forget to visit JP at MILBlogging.com who is now back in Afghanistan. The link here goes to his latest post where he let’s us know one of his favorite “buddies” has just joined him. Lol, you have really got to read this post!

JP, Sean, we love you guys! Take care and keep your six down!!

Anyone know of any other milblogger recently redeployed. These guys keep it real for us! They make us feel like we are in the loop instead of thousands of miles away from a war we have pretty much forgotten because of poor media coverage. Let’s show them our support!

Brittish Blogger, Lionheart, to be arrested for Violating Britain’s “Racial and Religious Hatred Bill” for writing about Radical Islam in Britain on his Blog!!??

•January 21, 2008 • 2 Comments

UPDATE:

Lionheart’s pending arrest is causing quite a furor at home and abroad. If you want to view more detailed information and some great comments go to Wolf Howling and read Wolf’s post. The comments are further down the page after a bit of blank page!! He also posted an interview. Why haven’t you other milbloggers picked up on this? with Lionheart!

While British troops risk their lives and die defending Democracy in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, people on the homefront have dropped the ball. One of the world’s champions of Democracy and the rights of free speech has passed a law which is being used to prevent its citizen’s from speaking out about the “Islamic Invasion” of England and Europe!

On January 4, 2008, Lionheart, a British blogger, posted on his blog that he is going to be arrested and charged with a “hate crime”:

I am currently out of the Country and on my return home to England I am going to be arrested by British detectives on suspicion of Stirring up Racial Hatred by displaying written material” contrary to Racial and Religious Hatred Bill sections 18(1) and 27(3) of the Public Order Act 1986. [emphasis is mine]

This charge if found guilty carries a lengthy prison sentence, more than what most paedophiles and rapists receive, and all for writing words of truth about the barbarity that is living in the midst of our children, which threatens the very future of our Country.

On the surface this doesn’t sound like an unreasonable bill in any Democracy. In actuality, the bill is being as a means to restrict the rights of every day Britons. Much like CAIR in America, Muslims in Great Britain are successfully following the same policy as those in America under bin Laden’s Islam’s 20 year plan to Conquer America! Britons are also being subjected to threats and intimidation from Muslims when they speak out publicly about legitimate issues involving Muslims!

Says Lionheart:

The cultural weapon in the hands of the modern Jihad within Great Britain, silencing the opposition using our own laws against us – The Dumb Filthy Kaffir’s as the Moslem would say to his children behind closed doors.

What has become of my homeland, the land my forefathers fought and died for on the battlefields of the world when one of their children is forced into the position of facing years in prison for standing up for what is right and just within British society.

In America, the ACLU and many other leftist organizations speak out about the Patriot Act. They say it takes away our Civil Liberties. Strangely or rather ironically it is the ACLU and organizations like them that erode away our rights. The latest example is the suit to remove the words “God” from the “Pledge” and even the U.S. Congress has been named in that suit!

Read and heed Lionheart’s words America:

At least my words of truth have obviously now reached people’s eyes and ears, with the powers that be now intent on silencing me – Third World Tyranny in a supposed 21st Century democracy!

I wonder if the Moslem peer Lord Ahmed was one of the people behind trying to silence me, I did wonder about why he crashed his car and nearly killed himself over Christmas, let that be a lesson to you – 1 Chronicles 16:22 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”

How dare any Moslem try and silence the truth from being told by an Englishman about the Islamic enemy in our midst within the British homeland.

Who have I killed, who have I threatened to kill? No one, all I have done is written about my reality on a computer screen, and now I face going to prison in my own country for standing up for myself and others.

Next time you take a plane trip or sit in an airport terminal remember his words. When the call for prayer goes out five times a day in Detroit, remember his words. When the government issues another threat warning about our water supply, power plants, a possible bombing, remember his words! Then look at our Democratic puppets in Washington and the bills they pass. Remember their alliance with the enemy and their financial funding such as those by Code Pink to the enemy in Fallujah.

You may find that soon, in America, someone may be saying these same words by Lionheart, except substitute America for Britain:

What has happened to those who threatened my life or who have killed my friends – NOTHING – This is British justice in the 21st Century – Shove your British Labour justice because it is worthless to the Englishman whose country this is, whose country you have destroyed.

Who blew up trains and buses on 7/7, who tried blowing up cars in London and Glasgow, who is seeking to detonate a dirty bomb upon the streets of Great Britain and who believes that non-Islamic territory is to be viewed as ‘the house of war and must be converted at all costs’, I don’t think you will find it is me, but I have no problem with educating others to the threat, the threat that this ‘Loony Labour Government’ is pretending is not real – The former Home Secretary knew what he was talking about.

How dare those power hungry fools seek to silence me or anyone else like me from speaking the truth for the sake of our children, grandchildren and the future of our homeland, who do they think they are, they are nothing more than mere men like the rest of us, just in positions of power over us that they totally abuse against us, look at the treason that has happened within Brussels by Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, handing over the Sovereignty of our Nation into foreign hands – Treason is the only word for it yet no one is arresting them, no they are arresting me for writing a few words of truth on a blog.

You cannot hide from you actions within the Catholic Church.

Traitors to the British people are those who pass this judgment and enforce it against their fellow countrymen when all they are doing is standing up for themselves, their children and their neighbours now that we are all surrounded by the armies of Islam who are camped deep within our land conducting Holy War on a daily basis against us and the innocent and the vulnerable in our society – The facts speak for themselves!

Is it not time for the British people to wake up and see this horror within their daily lives that threatens their children’s existence, or is the next devastating Islamic terrorist attack going to be so horrific like a dirty bomb that this will force them out of their sleep because of so many lives lost and the aftermath.

This arrest and potential imprisonment is what now awaits me at the start of 2008, and this is what now awaits every other blogger in Great Britain who writes the truth about the modern war that is now unfolding against us, our children and the British homeland by the State (Labour government) sanctioned and protected enemy that is living in our midst – The Islamic Kingdom

Read Melanie Philips book Londonistan if you want a real insight into what the British Elite who are in power have allowed to be born and grow within your midst, the Islamic beast that now lives and breaths upon English soil for nothing more than Holy War against the infidel – Me, you and ever other innocent non-Moslem within Great Britain.

The Moslems cry we are peace and you believe it, when their brothers declare war and murder, a different side of the same coin, a different branch of the same tree with the murder and war of Mohamed and the Koran as their root.

Ask yourself what does the future hold for your children and grandchildren now we have the Islamic Kingdom with its murderous, suppressive ways now growing and advancing upon our homeland – There comes a point when enough is enough and the survival instinct of the Nation kicks in.

I have placed my head above the parapet ready to be shot off because of threats against my life by Pakistani Moslems, how dare these enemies to the State threaten my life, me an Englishman living in my own country surrounded by my own country folk?

Yet my own country folk are now my enemy for standing up for them, their children and their grandchildren and all because their pay masters do not like me speaking the truth – What does that make you?

Today its is me, but tomorrow it is you – No truer words to be said about the present age within British society that we are living in.

I could go on and on about this situation but enough for now as I will use my time to now tell everyone how I have ended up in this position, with the British police now arresting me on suspicion of stirring up Racial Hatred.

I did not wake up one morning and think I hate Moslems and start my blog, I do not have a racist disposition as this blog is not a race issue it is a Religious issue, I had my life threatened and this blog is the result.

I know that there are many people around the World who view my blog, that there are many bloggers and site owners who are also fighting the online Jihad to raise awareness of this global Islamic Holy War that has been declared against us that our governments are trying to pretend is not happening, and I ask for your help to raise awareness of my personal plight.

I do not want to go to prison for many years for standing up for my children and other children’s futures, it is an injustice within what is supposed to be a civilized democratic society and people need to know what is happening, that my government is now seeking to silence me from speaking the truth about the war that has been declared against us all.

Today it is me and my blog and tomorrow it is you and your blog.

Please help me get this message out there by raising the awareness of this injustice, then my State Sanctioned arrest will not be in vain.

Please keep coming back because this is all I will now be posting on – My life and my freedom now hangs in the balance after all.

In service of the King – Jesus – The Lion of the tribe of Judah

Lionheart

Remember that blogs like mine and Indigo Red posted a warning and it went ignored:

TWENTY-YEAR PLAN FOR USA
ISLAM TARGETS AMERICA

1. Terminate America’s freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime bills state-wide and nation-wide.

2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities to promote Islam as the original African-American’s religion while Christianity is for the whites! Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, neither the fact that in Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, “Abed.”

3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.

4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office for favorable legislation to Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock.

6. Yield to the fear of imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America – the black gold. America’s economy depends on oil, (1000 products are derived from oil), so does its personal and industrial transportation and manufacturing -41% comes from the Middle East.

7. Yell, “foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un-American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran” anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions, get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way. Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?

9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:

a. Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961)

b. No birth control whatsoever – every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.

c. Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years – since one cannot have the Muslim legal permission to marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.

d. Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so far 2000 released inmates have joined Al Qaida world-wide). Only a few have been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil. So far – sleeping cells!

10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are 300 exclusively Muslim schools with loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution.

11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish “Centers for Islamic studies” with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions.

12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have high-jacked Islam, not the truth, which is Islam high-jacked the terrorists. Furthermore in January of 2002, Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Washington mailed 4500 packets of the Quran, videos, promoting Islam to America’s high schools–free. They would never allow us to reciprocate.

13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards the Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.

14. Nullify America’s sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls. (We have experienced this too often since 9-11.)

15. b>Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not American’s justice system.

16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S. but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.

17. Raise interest in Islam on America’s campuses by insisting that freshman take at least one course on Islam. Be sure that the writer is a bonafide American, Christian, scholarly and able to cover up the violence in the Quran and express the peaceful, spiritual and religious aspect only.

18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media of their visibility.

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.

20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the US by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.

Indigo Red goes on to say:

Remember the foregoing was written in 2002. After four years, ask yourself how much has come to pass and how much is nearing completion. Hate-crime laws are now common place across the country; Muslims are crying “foul” over cartoons of Muhammad printed in the West though not a peep when printed in Muslim lands; rioting in a major Los Angeles jail; Islam is being taught in our schools while Christianity and Judaism are excluded; from kindergarten to university, our schools are being peppered with monetary gifts from Muslim sheiks and charities; Mosque schools are being set up with educational materials coming directly from Saudi Arabia without review by local authorities; the American conservative news outlet FOX NEWS is part owned by a Saudi prince; and periodic bogus threats to our security are made and nothing happens causing citizens to doubt our leaders and lull us into complacency.

Well, it is now January 21, 2008, not quite two years later, and as I look back over Indigo Red’s post written, February 13, 2006, I see the truth of his post as we can see in Lionheart’s post. I see the same pattern developing here in America by the Islamic movement here. I also see how the quiet movements of those globalists pushing for the North American Union further erode our rights and sovereignty as a nation much as the European Union is doing in Europe. The Islamic movement is taking full advantage of both globalist and socialist movements here in America and in Europe to further their own agenda. The Socialists have allied with the Islamics.
If they are successful, I wonder how the two will then determine who will reign as neither accepts compromise within their ranks? Maybe they plan to equally share their power! One believes everyone must convert to their beliefs or die. One doesn’t believe in God! Greed for power makes strange “bedfellows”!!

I want to end with a quote from Indigo Red’s latest post, Lost and Found Department…We have lost something in what we have gained…”:

Two things are worth remembering – no Democracy has lasted longer than ten years. The only Democracy that endured for a decade ended with the forced suicide of Socrates; in the nearly 220 years since the Constitutional founding of this nation in 1789, no country anywhere has adopted the governmental form, political institutions, or social traditions of the United States of America.

The Democrats will respond that they are far smarter than any ancient Greek. And besides, Athens was often under siege from militaristic governments like Sparta, so Athenians never had an opportunity to develop a full fledged working democracy. To the second they will respond that the fact that no country has adopted our forms, institutions, and traditions only proves how inadequate our government, constitution, and we, the people, really are. All other democratic republics have molded themselves around the French Republic, of which there have been five since 1792, each with its own constitution far different from the last, and freely elected, of course. Or they have favored the Spanish Empire model of frequent changes of military dictators – freely elected, of course. Sometimes, the English parliamentary system is introduced, but one can presume only for comic relief because nearly every one has fallen to some form of dictatorship – freely elected, of course.

Only the Country and Constitution of the United States of America has weathered its own history and the vagaries of world politics and self-aggrandizing international wars of others to make itself and the world a better place to live only to blamed for every ailment and sneeze in the international order. The question no longer is, ‘Will conservatism survive?” It is now, “Will America survive?”

What powerful words! No truer were ever spoken. I hope you will go read the rest of his post in entirety. It is a post we should all read and take very seriously!

    TRMarchesano has a post on his blog, D=S (Democrat Equals Socialist), called THE BIGGEST CROCK OF SHIT I HAVE READ THIS MONTH… that will “piss you off” once
    you read it! He is responding to Jennifer at Dandelion Salad. She wrote The Myths behind Iraq’s Civil War”. TR told me about the post and suggested I go read it and leave my comments. I read the post and and the subsequent comments.

    I have to say, once I read the post, I too felt that it was “THE BIGGEST CROCK OF SHIT I HAVE READ THIS MONTH…!” It really hit a nerve for many others also, both for and against what she wrote! Here are some excerpts:

    Never before in American history has a documentary film examined “the enemy” while the conflict continues. The information contained in the film has become so valuable in gaining understanding of the violence in Iraq; it has been shown not only to civilian audiences, but to military audiences as well. Of note is the recent showing to “The Red Team” operating in Iraq whose main job is to conduct exercises and war games, providing an adversarial perspective, especially when this perspective includes plausible tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) as well as realistic policy and doctrine… of the enemy. Although the filmmakers themselves are journalists, with no specific political or military agenda, the military has recognized the great value this film offers.

    • The first myth largely accepted is that the majority of the violence in Iraq is due to sectarian violence targeting mostly civilians.
    • The second myth circulated for American audiences is the idea that sectarian tensions in Iraq existed before the US led invasion (mostly between Sunni and Shi’a).
    • The third myth is that violence is largely attributed to “outside influences,” namely that of foreign fighters from Iran and Syria.
    • Last, the myth that Iraqi on Iraqi violence is motivated by religious ideology is also shown to be largely false.

    My first thought for her was all the questions that keep coming up in serious engagements, “How does the press know to be on hand to conveniently film the battles?” Next was the incidences where the “reporter” was in fact working for the enemy. Also, except for Michael Yon, I can’t really think of any reporters that I would trust. Michael reports on the war. He reports failures “and” successes. He reports from all over Iraq from the “front line,” not the safety of the Baghdad Hotel in the Green Zone relying on second hand information from questionable “sources!”

    When I read A Thank You Letter, Let Us Seize the Momentum in Iraq, There’s No Place Like Home, I couldn’t help but be moved. But I also remember this posting, Baqubah Update: 05 July 2007, where the press is anything but impressive in its attempts at truth on Iraq! One of the posts I would love to see the American media and all media report on is Michael’s post, News flash for Osama bin Laden. I won’t hold my breath!

    After reading Jennifer’s post and its comments, I went through my blog and pulled up several posts that addressed both the article Jennifer wrote and the comments. If you visit my blog often, you know that I usually put a lot of research into my posts and they can be rather long. That makes them hard to summarize. So I posted the titles with their links in response; but, the post wouldn’t accept. I assume it got kicked as spam. So here is my response. I hope Jennifer will take time to read these posts. If she reads only the very last one, “ Islam’s 20 Year Plan to Conquer America,” I’ll be happy! Read on:

    I urge all milbloggers to go read Jennifer’s post. Be nice; but, give her your input!

    Who are Brian Kolfage and Winter the Dolphin?

    •January 19, 2008 • 10 Comments

    Senior Airman Brian Kolfage was injured by an explosion while deployed in Iraq and lost both legs and an arm. Winter, the Dolphin, was injured after becoming entangled in a crab net and lost her tail and the movable joint just above it.

    Brian Kilfage

    Brian Kolfage and his buddies had finished their night shift and gone back to their tents to get some rest. Later Brian and some of his buddies were going to get together for a bit of fun. About a half hour or so before they were to get up, an explosion went off in their area. Brian’s buddy, SrA Valentin Cortez, found Brian after being awakened by the explosion.

    The best accounting of Brian, the events the day he was injured, and the extent of his injuries was recorded by his buddy in Iraq, SrA Valentin Cortez. Here are some excerpts from his accounting at Blackfive:

    “As we ran out we noticed someone lying on the ground approximately two tents from ours. As we approached him it did not click that it was Kolfage. I don’t know if it was because of the dust and debris in the air or because I thought it could never happen to us. It was Higgs who noticed who it was. “Oh my God man its Brian!” These are the words that will be with me forever. I kneeled down next to Kolfage and as I checked on him I thought we had lost him. Shortly after he gasped for air and was conscious from then on. As I attended to his wounds I also tried to keep him from looking at them for fear that it would upset him. However, he looked at me and in a calm and collected voice he said “Man I already know, just get me home to Nikki.”…..

    The injuries were severe. His right hand was just torn up as if chewed up. His left hand had a hole from were shrapnel had sliced through it just underneath his thumb. His right leg had been peppered by shrapnel. His left leg, the most severe and life-threatening injury, was almost severed at the hip and just holding on. As I wrapped his hands and applied pressure on his left leg I never stopped talking to him for he almost dozed away a couple of times and I feared he would not wake up again…..

    During Kolfage’s surgery the call for blood went out throughout the base and within minutes dozens of soldiers, sailor, marines and airmen responded. People were literally being bussed in, some on bikes and some even running all the way from where they heard the call. Just an incredible site. That day Kolfage made it through surgery but remained in critical condition. We were informed that both his legs and his right hand were amputated but that they were doing everything to save his thumb on his left hand…..

    I was allowed to say good-bye but as I approached and saw him on the stretcher with tubes and wires sticking out of him I did not know what to say. I thought back to times we had spent together, to last year when again we both have volunteered to serve in dangerous lands, and remembered a saying by which we motivated ourselves. Knowing this would be the last time I would see him for a long time I leaned over and spoke those words. “We live together. We fight together. We die together. We Band of Brothers.”[my emphasis]

    Be sure to go to Blackfive at the link above and read the rest of Brian’s story.

    Winter the Dolphin

    Winter is an Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin now about two years old. When she was found off the coast of Florida by fisherman, she was only about three months old and near death. She was dehydrated and had multiple injuries. Her most severe injury was to her tail. It had been caught in the crab net. As Winter attempted to free herself, her tail was severely damaged. The injuries to her tail were so severe that her tail tissue died from lack of blood and her tail dropped off leaving her with a “stub” for a tail.

    Under the constant care of the staff at the marine center in Clearwater, Florida, Winter beat all the odds and survived. But, she is unable to swim fast or perform any of the other feats Dolphins are so renown for doing:

    “Without a tail, she can neither swim as fast nor jump as high as a normal dolphin.”

    She has taught herself to swim by movements similar to an alligator! Though staff were pleased she survived, they felt that her adaptive swimming techniques might damage her spine. They started searching for help. Their search led them to one of the world’s leading prosthetists, Kevin Carroll:

    “Carroll is one of the world’s leading prosthetists. Besides his work with people, he has designed prosthetics for dogs, an ostrich, and even a duck.”

    Carroll was quick to agree to try to help Winter. Initially, he did not fully grasp the difficulties he would encounter helping Winter! He soon learned:

    “The dolphin’s tail fin is the most powerful swimming mechanism Mother Nature ever designed,” McCulloch said. “When you see how much pressure they put on their flukes, the prosthesis is going to take a marvel of modern engineering.”….

    She would need at least three tails as she grows. She is now about 4 feet long and weighs 110 pounds. When she is full grown at age 15, Winter will be twice as long and four times as heavy…..

    Carroll finally fitted Winter with a new, prosthetic tail:

    “While it’s apparently not perfected just yet, Winter has started to learn to swim with a prosthetic sleeve, which will eventually be outfitted with artificial tail flukes that could allow it to keep pace with other dolphins.”

    Winter ought not to have survived her ordeal, yet survive she did! Though she has her own schedule, she cooperates with Carroll and her other benefactors as they attempt to restore her capabilities to that of other dolphins through prosthetics. Her will to survive was nothing short of miraculous. She is the only Dolphin in captivity to survive with such extensive injuries and no tail. Soon she will be able to keep up with the center’s other Dolphins with her new tail.

    So what does any of this have to do with Brian Kolfage? Brian was determined to walk again and resume as normal a life as possible. One of the biggest problems he encountered was the painful sensations caused by his prosthetics:

    “Lessons can also be learned that will help human amputees. Carroll, for example, found the gel sleeve he developed to cling to 18-month-old Winter’s tail without irritating her sensitive skin also soothed a painful prosthesis for Air Force Senior Airman Brian Kolfage, who lost both legs and his right hand in a 2004 mortar attack in Iraq. The sleeve sticks to Winter’s tail with suction the same way a rubber surgical glove grips a human hand.

    “When he tried to walk with prosthetics, you had these dagger-like boney growths sticking into the socket. It was very painful,” Carroll said. “Brian’s situation was similar to Winter’s. Winter helped him and hopefully she’ll help a lot of others as well.”’

    Brian Kolfage is an amazing young man. If I am not mistaken he wanted to stay in the Air Force. However that wasn’t possible. Like all our troops, he showed courage on the battlefield. Like all our injured warriors, he showed his greatest courage off the battlefield, in the wards of his hospital as he recovered from his massive injuries sustained in Iraq. His positive attitude and refusal to allow his injuries to best him are an inspiration to others.

    Brian refused to be wheel chair bound the rest of his life. With determination and a great deal of personal character he became the first amputee with injuries so severe to walk again. His struggle and determination has led to many improvements in prosthetics for himself and others with similar injuries. He has since married and is now employed as a base security manager at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona.

    Like many wounded Veterans, he had problems fighting the “red tape” at the V.A.; but, he enlisted the help of the Wounded Warrior Project through a representative of the organization that he met as a patient at Walter Reed Hospital. After 16 surgeries and his rehab his relies completely on his prosthetics.

    “Pledge of Allegiance” and Congress Under attack

    •January 15, 2008 • 1 Comment

    I got an email today from the American Center for Law & Justice. They are helping Congress and others being sued to remove “under God” from the pledge. They are soliciting donations and support. I come into contact with so many organizations any more I can’t keep up with them all. This one seems legitimate.

    I was wondering if the group filing the law suit is another one of the members of the “web” of leftist allied with the enemy and attempting to destroy our Constitution and our way of life with their leftist agenda.

    I don’t give a damn what laws Congress might pass, I will say God as often as I like. If someone else doesn’t believe in Him, that’s their business. But I resent every law enacted to serve these minorities at the expense of the majority. I am equally intolerant of those religious zealots who feel their way is the only way.

    It is time Americans stood up and spoke out. We will not let non-believers take away God. Nor will we allow “Salem” to be rebuilt or Muslims extremism destroy our way of life and enforce their religion on us!!

    GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

    If the day ever comes when you’re not allowed to speak God’s name in public … we may have to look back at today as the day it all began.

    I say this because the Freedom From Religion Foundation, represented by Dr. Michael Newdow, has launched a massive lawsuit – suing Congress itself, in federal court – to remove the words ”under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance.

    Your personal involvement today is crucial. Please give a generous online donation to help us fight this outrageous lawsuit and keep all of our work moving forward.

    Should this lawsuit succeed, this case could set the precedent for banning the name of God – erasing His name from any public mention – especially in the public schools.

    We must take this threat seriously, and act now.

    The lawsuit claims that the government is supporting a ”monotheistic teaching of the United States being one nation under God” – promoting ”the purely religious claim that we are one nation under God” – by including the words ”under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance.

    And, they say, this makes the Pledge of Allegiance a form of ”coercion” aimed especially at schoolchildren.

    In fact, in the lawsuit, the Freedom From Religion Foundation equates saying the Pledge of Allegiance with child abuse and neglect!

    This argument is absurd. But the legal action is a serious attack on our American heritage, and we must stop it.

    I urge you to give generously right now. We must speak out in Freedom From Religion Foundation v. Congress in order to preserve the existence of the Pledge!

    The American Center for Law & Justice will file an amicus brief with the U.S. District Court in this case, representing members of our Committee to Protect ”Under God” as well as members of the Congress of the United States.

    And we are prepared to protect the Pledge of Allegiance at all costs – which could mean defending this action all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.

    Members of our legal and legislative teams and I are already meeting with members of Congress on this issue. We have also begun the initial legal research and writing for the amicus brief.

    Indeed, as we have already seen in previous cases, Dr. Michael Newdow is a formidable lawyer – a formidable opponent; so we must take this threat very seriously.

    And the Freedom From Religion Foundation has expressed itself in very, very strong language – the most aggressive attack they’ve ever mounted.

    No one can afford to stand by and ”hope for the best” in this case. We need every member like you to be a part of this effort by acting swiftly with your generous gift of support.

    Join with me in this, a pivotal moment in America’s history. The future is on the line!

    Troop’s Voting rights re-affirmed

    •January 15, 2008 • Leave a Comment

    The Tullytown Council in Pennsylvania has made a complete about face with regards to whether or not deployed members can vote on Council issues. You may remember that last year, Councilman Joseph Shellenberger, the newly elected council president, was not allowed to vote. He had been called to serve in Afghanistan at the time.

    There was such an out cry by fellow veterans, veteran groups, and the public, the dissenters were voted out of office. The new council had no problem whatsoever agreeing to allow deployed members to vote via speakerphone once it was determined not to be in violation of Pennsylvania law.

    Urget: We Need All Troops & All Other Patriot Americans This Sat

    •January 15, 2008 • 3 Comments

    I received the following email today and as requested am posting the information. We need to do all we can to support our troops. Please read the email. If you can go show your support, please do so. Whether or not you can attend, please pass the word to your email contacts. Maybe others can go once they find out what is going on! Here’s a little video that may help you decide whether or not to go:

    WE HEED ALL TROOPS & ALL OTHER PATRIOT AMERICANS THIS SAT.>>>INFO TO FOLLOW

    We just wanted to give you the latest update and share this with one and all to be ready and give your support, to be ready, for this coming Sat. they will be in OUR BACK YARD, they will be doing their thing in Jacksonville out side of Camp Lejeune..
    Just got a few phone calls and sending you all a copy of the E-mails

    I want you to take a look at what the WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) is up to this next weekend. We cannot let this happen without mounting a huge
    counter protest. The killing of a Marine allegedly, (okay probably), by a
    fellow Marine is not something that gives these dirtbags the right to
    protest the Marines!

    I’m asking that we turn out in force, as never seen since March 17th, 2006
    in DC. These are the same dispicible animals that protest at the funerals
    of our fallen heroes. They cannot go unchallenged. Our Marines and the
    world have to know that we, the American people, support our troops and will not tolerate the misguided, (I’m being nice), behavior of the few.

    IF, there are no PGR missions next weekend, I will be there… will you?
    (OH.. need a place to stay… offers being accepted and reviewed). (did
    you hear that Rodney? Tree-house available?)

    Rally guys… let’s git ‘er done. I leave it to you (Bubba) to determine
    their permit location etc. Please keep me informed along with Barry the
    patriot that forwarded this to me.

    I love you guys!

    Never again!!

    NEWS RELEASE

    WBC to picket Camp Lejeune. God Hates the u.s. Marines.

    The wonderful, spit-and-polish Marine is over eight months pregnant and she says another wonderful Marine raped her, and now on the eve of his court martial where she is the star witness against him, she turns up dead, and he is a fugitive from justice. Wonderful. The few. The proud. Based on our extensive experience with Marines for over a decade, we can testify that these are typical Marines.

    WBC will picket the filthy, lawless Marine Corps – at noon next Sat., Jan. 19 – at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; in religious protest and warning: “Be not “‘deceived; God is not mocked.” Gal. 6:7. God Hates Fags! & Fag Enablers.Ergo, God hates the Marines.The Marine Corps is saturated with vile fags and dykes. It matters not to them that they are violating the laws of God and man. Our leaders know of the problem, but they refuse to fix it, due to pressure from political leaders, because fags have enormous political influence – called in Scripture “The power of the dog.” Psa.22:20. And the phenomenon is called by Tocqueville, “The worm in the American apple.”

    “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is abomination. Lev. 18:22.

    “Let no man deceive you with vain words; for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. ”

    Eph.5:6.

    Please don’t let our troops down. As a Marine Veteran I take personal offense at the remarks made by these pathetic fanatics! What small minds they have!

    From Michael Yon – “Let Us Seize the Momentum in Iraq”

    •December 30, 2007 • 8 Comments

    As you contemplate whether or not to support the latest Pro-War rally in D.C. on March 15, 2008 to counter the anti-war protest rally that day, maybe a report from Iraq by Gen. Barry R. McCaffrey, a professor of international security studies at West Point, Let’s Seize the Momentum in Iraq, will help you make the decision to come out and show your support for the troops and the war.

    Gen. McCaffrey’s report, originally published by the Wall Street Journal on December 20, 2007, was also posted December 20, 2007, by Michael Yon in his On Line Magazine in his post, Let Us Seize the Momentum in Iraq.

    “There are several profound changes taking place in Iraq. The Sunnis who dominated the country in the Baathist era have come to realize that al Qaeda was terrorizing their own community with a malignant and extremist form of Islam. The Sunnis also woke up to the fact that the Americans would eventually leave — and they would be soon out in the cold with little participation in an Iraqi Army or police dominated by Shiites and Kurds.”

    If you have been following Michael’s recent posts from Iraq, Gen. McCaffery’s assessment agrees with Michael’s reports from throughout Iraq! Here is an excerpt of one of Michael’s latest posts in response to a press release by Osama bin Laden,”to guerrilla forces in Mesopotamia“:

    “Al Qaeda terrorists can continue to murder Iraqis and Americans at the behest of Osama, but their tactics will only backfire. Osama will no more own Iraq than he will own America. His is a lost cause. Not because of decisive military defeats, (although these have helped) but because decent Iraqi people from all quarters, sects and regions of Iraq have had enough of his people cutting off heads of children.”

    Go read both articles in their entirety. They provide an accurate assessment of events in Iraq from two people who actually witnessed the current progress firsthand, Michael as an embed with the American and British troops, the General from a tour he personally made of Iraq.

    You will notice neither men made their reports based on information provided them as they holed up in a local Baghdad hotel as the MSM reporters like to do to ensure their safety!

    Again We are asked to “Rally ’round the Flag” in Defense of our troops!

    •December 30, 2007 • Leave a Comment

    Again We are asked to “Rally ’round the Flag” in Defense of our troops! The anti-war crowd is holding another rally in D.C. in March. It is important to our troops, our allies in the coalition, and Americans here at home that there be a voice present that supports our troops. Otherwise they will all begin to believe that the anti-war communist and socialist crowd represents the entire nation instead of a small radical minority of people in America.

    The Gathering of Eagles and several other groups supporting the cause have taken up that charge and is organizing a counter protest rally. This will probably represent the most important counteroffensive since the war’s beginning. As we draw done on the current Presidential elections it is important that voters become aware of who is doing what with regard to the war. It is important that voters have the truth, not just the antiwar, anti-Bush, and anti-American rhetoric filling the airways and media on a daily basis by the well funded anti-democracy crowd.

    From the latest Gathering of Eagles Newsletter, “Americans Standing Up: Call to Arms for DC Troop Rally 15 March”:

    Those who would disparage our brave men and women in uniform are planning to congregate in our nation’s Capital once again this coming March. On March 15, 2008, Gathering of Eagles, in coordination with Move America Forward, Freedom’s Watch, The Band of Mothers, Vets for Freedom, DC Protest Warrior, Eagles Up, Free Republic, New England Warrior and rank and file patriotic Americans, will come together to Support Our Troops and their in-theater commander, General David Petraeus.

    You can help. Please pass the word and encourage people to come out in force and let their voices be heard in support of General Petraeus and our troops! Don’t let their radical, narrow minded view of the war and America be the only voice heard by our troops or the American public.

    Come out. Show your support. Let your voice be heard on March 15, 2008 in D.C. Stand up and be counted.
