God Bless Our Troops

I live in Massachusetts.  Kerry is one of my Senators.  He is well educated, but ignorant of most subjects, plus as he indicates he is also Dumb.  What he said was written down and read as it was written.  He makes no mistakes in oratory.  He is an anti- American slug that is protected by Judges that cannot read the constitutions, and the Democratic owners of Massachusetts.  No one will run against him other than the Greens/ Rainbow.

This is from a military wife:

This was written by my husband, Aaron, who is currently deployed to Iraq, in defense of a recent comment made by Senator John Kerry. Pass it along, it might inspire someone else to speak up! ~ Michelle

And from her husband: 

Yesterday John Kerry said, "You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well, and if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq"

So I wrote him a letter:

I am a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I am currently on my second tour in Iraq, a tour in which I volunteered for. I speak Arabic and Spanish and I plan to tackle Persian Farsi soon. I have a Bachelors and an Associates Degree and between deployments I am pursuing an M.B.A. In college I was a member of several academic honor societies, including the Golden Key Honor Society. I am not unique among the enlisted troops. Many of my enlisted colleagues include lawyers, teachers, mechanics, engineers, musicians and artists just to name a few. You say that your comments were directed towards the President and not us. If we were stupid, Senator Kerry, we might have believed you.  

I am not a victim of President Bush. I proudly serve him because he is my Commander and Chief. If it were you who was President, I would serve you just as faithfully. I serve America, Senator Kerry, and I am also providing a service to the good people of Iraq. I have not terrorized them in the middle of the night, raped them or murdered them as you have accused me of before. I am doing my part to help them rebuild. My role is a simple one, but important. You see, Senator Kerry, like it or not, we came here and removed a tyrant (who terrorized Iraqis in the middle of the night, and raped them and murdered them). And we have a responsibility to see to it that another one doesn't take his place. The people of Iraq are recovering from an abusive relationship with a terrible government and it's going to take some time to help them recover from that. We can't treat this conflict like a microwave dinner and throw a temper tantrum because we feel like it's taking too long.

Senator Kerry, you don't have to agree with this war. You don't have to say nice things about those of us who choose to make sacrifices for the rights of every American rather than sit back and simply feel entitled to it. But please, Senator Kerry, if you're going to call me a stupid murdering rapist, stick by what you say. Don't tell me that I misunderstood or that you would never insult a veteran because you're one too. Having been there and done that does not give you a free pass to insult me.

My suggestion for you, Senator Kerry, is to remember that your speeches are recorded, and broadcast to us simpletons over here. You may want to write down what you want to say before you say it, maybe have somebody look at it before you say it and tell you what others might hear. Remember that we can't read your mind, if there are any misinterpretations in what you say, it's because you didn't communicate clearly.

Good luck to you Senator Kerry, if nothing else it's always entertaining to watch you try and climb out of the holes that you constantly dig for yourself.

 

 

 

Let’s Take Another Look At Gun Control:

 

Doctors:

(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.

(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.

(Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services.)


Now think about this:
Guns:

(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000.  (Yes, that's 80 million.)

(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is   .000188.

(Statistics courtesy of FBI.)

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, "Guns don't kill people, doctors do."

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large, I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention  

 

 

DEMOCRATS ARE OUT TO GET YOUR GUNS...THEY HAVE ULTERIOR MOTIVES...! THEY CAN'T IMPRISON PEOPLE INTO A SOCIALIST STATE IF THEY ARE ARMED!!

 

Gun Control

Whether you agree or not, it's an interesting lesson in history. Something to think about...In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.  From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.  

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

 China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

 Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

It has now been 14 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:

         Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent

         Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent

         Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!

In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. (Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!)

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.

There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.

You won't see this data on the American evening news or hear our president, governors or other politicians disseminating this information

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans....before it's too late!  The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens'.

Without them, we are 'subjects'.

If you value your freedom, Please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends.

 

 

 

The Words of Dictators Preparing for War

by Newt Gingrich
Posted Sep 25, 2006

You may be wondering what the vicious, anti-American rhetoric in the United Nations last week really means -- not to mention the troubling silence that followed from our leaders. Let me give you my analysis of what it could mean if we allow our enemies to occupy the moral high ground:

One day Americans may watch North Korean-designed, Iranian-built missiles being installed in Venezuela. We would be left wondering if these missiles are carrying Iranian or North Korean nuclear warheads. We will then better understand the meaning of last week's speeches.

For those of you who are unconvinced, here are three statements that every American should know and think about. They are from the three men -- three very dangerous men -- who spoke to us last week.

              "The devil came here yesterday. Yesterday the devil came here. Right here. And it smells of sulfur still today."

                   -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, referring to President Bush, on the floor of the United Nations General Assembly

 

"To those who doubt, to those who ask is it possible, or those who do not believe, I say accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible."

     -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

 

"No army in the world is strong enough to disarm us."

-- Hezbollah terrorist leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, last week to a "victory rally" of thousands of Hezbollah supporters.


So my question to you is this: If these aren't the words of dictators preparing for war, how can you explain them?

Loud Applause at the UN -- Silence in America

Here is how the New York Times described the response in the UN General Assembly to Hugo Chavez's venomous speech: "The gasps. The horrified giggles. The loud applause that lasted so long that the organization's officials had to tell the cheering group to cut it out."

But at least as troubling as the response of the so-called diplomats at the UN (most of whom are recipients of U.S. aid, by the way) was the lack of response by American leaders.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal about Chavez's speech,
Peggy Noonan hit the nail on the head: "His remarks were startling. No one wants to dignify them with a response. But that's a mistake. Because the world heard them."

America's lack of response to the vitriolic anti-American speech at the United Nations and elsewhere this week was a fundamental mistake. It projects a message of weakness to the world, and our politics and attitudes of weakness only feed our enemies' sense of confidence.

In fact, in the Washington Post, columnist
David Ignatius wrote that the "overriding theme" of Iranian dictator Ahmadinejad's visit to America was "confidence." We've seen this confidence before. It reminded Ignatius of Ahmadinejad's predecessor, Ayatollah Khomeini, when he led Iran's decent into tyranny in the late 1970s fed by an anti-American ideology. The message of both Iranian dictators, writes Ignatius, was this: "America cannot do a damn thing."

Three Strategies to Change the United Nations

The spectacle of hate and anti-Americanism being vigorously applauded by those sustained by our aid and contributions to international organizations does more than just discredit the participants -- it calls the whole UN process into question. The recent, modest efforts at reform there have clearly failed. The United States needs to immediately undertake three strategies to transform the UN from the anti-American, anti-freedom forum it now is into an effective champion for the spread of democracy and human rights.

1.       Hold Dictators and Demagogues Accountable: Following Chavez's tirade of lies and personal insults to our President, the United States should have taken him on, not ignored him. We should have demanded that he personally apologize and that the General Assembly censure him. We owe it to ourselves and to an effective UN to confront head-on every lie about America and freedom uttered there.

2.       Demand Our Money's Worth: America contributes 22 percent of the United Nation's budget, but what do we get for our money? We need to begin to use all our resources -- our diplomacy and our economic muscle -- to organize the votes worldwide to profoundly reform the UN. All of our ambassadors must be tasked with using whatever carrots and sticks are available in our relations with other countries to see that the UN is reorganized. Because if the United Nations isn't organized in support of democracies and against dictatorships, what are we and our money doing there?

3.       Put the Burden of Proof on Them: America should begin to seek out and create alternative forums for dealing with other nations until the United Nations has proved to us it is reformed. The burden of proof should be on the United Nations to show us that it can be something more than a soapbox for tyrants and a megaphone for hate.

Are Things Looking Up for November?

Despite the bad news coming from the United Nations this week, there was good news on the home front.

First, an update on the
American Eleven: On Wednesday, by a vote of 228 to 196, the House passed legislation to require every individual who wants to vote in the 2008 federal elections to have a photo ID (American Eleven Action Item #4).

Also on Wednesday, following a Winning the Future
Special Alert urging you to call your senators, the Senate voted to prevent a Democratic filibuster on the Secure Fence Act (American Eleven Action Item #2). Once again, your phone calls, letters and emails are proving that real change starts with the American people, not the Washington elite.

And not coincidentally, the polls are showing brighter prospects for Republicans in the November elections. In the USA Today/Gallup poll, when American are asked whether they will vote for Republicans or Democrats in the fall, the Democrats' advantage has dropped from 11 points in late July to dead even with Republicans. The Fox News poll shows the Democrats' lead shrinking from 16 points in late August to three points today.

Will We Win the Future?

Could we be seeing a reversal of electoral fortune? Only time will tell.

And what about that imagined future scenario of North Korean-designed, Iranian-built missiles being installed in Venezuela? Here, again, only time -- and American will -- will tell. But there is one thing we can know now, and it's not so different from what we're seeing with the November elections: When we do what's right, and when we listen to the American people, we come closer to winning the future. So let's keep winning.

Your friend,

Newt Gingrich

 

 

YOU WORRY ME!
By American Airlines Pilot Captain John Maniscalco
       
"I've been trying to say this since 9/11.  You worry me.  I wish you didn't.  I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country.   But you don't blend in anymore.  I notice you, and it worries me.  I notice you because I can't help it anymore.  People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now.  I don't fully understand their grievances and hate but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.
 
On September 11, 2001, nineteen ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my country.  They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others.  They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children's mothers.
 
The Palestinians celebrated; the Iraqis were overjoyed, as was most of the Arab world.
 
So I notice you now.  I don't want to be worried.  I don't want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and prejudice that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists.  But I need your help.  As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.
 
How do I differentiate between the true Arab/Muslim-Americans and the Arab/Muslims in our communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the protection of OUR Constitution while they plot the next attack that will slaughter these same good neighbors and children?  The events of September 11th changed the answer.  It is not my responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its faults.  It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to determine it for me.
 
I want to know, I demand to know, and I have a right to know whether or not you love America.  Do you pledge allegiance to its flag?  Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car?
 
Do you pray in your many daily prayers that your Allah will bless this nation, that he will protect and prosper it?  Or do you pray that your Allah will destroy it in one of your "Jihads"?
 
Are you thankful for the freedom that only this nation affords?  A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for this country?  Are you willing to preserve this freedom by paying the ultimate sacrifice?  Do you love America?  If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it.
 
Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media at this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions you are taking as a community and as a religion to protect the United States of America.   Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the deaths of the innocent because I worry about who you regard as innocent.
 
No more benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks because I worry about what is unprovoked to you.  I am not interested in any more sympathy...I am only interested in action.
 
What will you do for America-- our great country-- at this time of crisis, at this time of war?
 
I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets.  I want to hear you chanting "Allah Bless America ." I want to see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military.  I want to see a commitment of money, time, and emotion to the victims of this butchering and to this nation as a whole.  The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to regarding the WTC attack.  Many of these people live and socialize in Muslim communities.  You know them.  You know where they are.
 
Hand them over to us, now!  But I have seen little even approaching this sort of action.  Instead I have seen an already closed and secretive community close even tighter.  You have disappeared from the streets.  You have posted armed security guards at your facilities.  You have threatened lawsuits.  You have screamed for protection from reprisals.
 
The very few Arab/Muslim representatives that HAVE appeared in the media were defensive and equivocating.  They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United States proves who was responsible before taking action.  They seemed more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed toward them in the United States and abroad than they did with supporting our country and denouncing "leaders" like Khadafi, Hussein, Farrakhan, and Arafat.  If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and love for all people then I want chapter and verse from the Quran and statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up.  What good is it if the teachings in the Quran are good and pure and true when your "leaders"
are teaching fanatical interpretations, terrorism, and intolerance?
 
It matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if large numbers of the world's Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere to a degenerative form of the religion.  A form that has been demonstrated to us over and over again.  A form whose structure is built upon a foundation of violence, death, and suicide.  A form whose members are recruited from the prisons around the world.  A form whose members (some as young as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week out, year after year, marching in the streets around the world, burning effigies of our presidents, burning the American flag, shooting weapons into the air.  A form whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms against the United States of America, the country of their birth.  A form whose rules are so twisted that their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name of Islam.

Hezbollah Terrorists in America

By Dale Hurd
CBN News



CBNNews.com – (CBN News) - The leader of Hezbollah has declared America the enemy. Many Arabs and Muslims in America openly support Hezbollah.

 

Is this a potential threat to our safety?

 

Several thousand people marched through the Detroit suburb of Dearborn a few weeks ago, chanting "Hezbollah" and holding up photos of Hezbollah leader Sheik Nasrallah and posters comparing President Bush to Hitler.

Similar protests took place in San Francisco, New York, and other cities.

The U.S. government calls Hezbollah a terrorist organization, but don't tell that to these Americans.

 

Osama Siblani publishes the Arab-American News, the largest Arab-American newspaper in the United States. He said, “No, They are not terrorists. Absolutely not. No. They are freedom fighters.”

 

He told the Chicago Tribune that if the FBI wants to go after Hezbollah supporters in Dearborn, "…they better bring a fleet of buses. I, for one, would be willing to go to jail."

Hezbollah is an Iranian creation, and although it has a measure of independence, it's considered Iran's proxy army in southern Lebanon. As many as 15,000 of Dearborn's

 

Arabs come from the Hezbollah stronghold of Bint Jbeil, Lebanon.

In fact, the current mayor in Bint Jbeil, Haj Ali Bazzi, is from Dearborn. He has an American passport and a Michigan driver’s license.

 

The dominant Islamic leader in Dearborn is Mohammed Ali Elahi, an Iranian-American whose Web site displays photos of Elahi with Hezbollah spiritual leader Sheikh Fadlallah and former Iranian President Rafsanjani, who once suggested nuking Israel.

 

Debbie Schlussel, a Detroit columnist and attorney, was the first to call attention to Elahi’s Web site and to his ties to Iranian government officials. 

“I went to his Web site, and I found even more outrageous pictures of him with Ayatollah Khomeini--who we know held many Americans hostage for 444 days," Schlussel said. "We have pictures of him delivering prayers to the Iranian parliament. We have pictures of him with the former President of Iran, Mr. Khatami.”

Yet Elahi is respected by many in the Detroit area, and even does a regular column for the Detroit News.

 

He spoke with CBN News terrorism expert Erick Stackelbeck.

“We need to have another interview,” said Elahi, “of talking about Hezbollah – whether that is a terrorist organization or not. I know that, legally, in the U.S. now, Hezbollah is on that list. And whether we agree with the law or disagree, we have to follow the law of the land.”

 

Before 9/11, Hezbollah killed more Americans than any other terrorist group: 300 murdered in six separate attacks, including 241 Marines in the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing. Now, with America's building confrontation with Iran over its nuclear program, the New York Post reports that Hezbollah is prepared to activate terrorist sleeper cells in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Detroit.

 

No less than nine Federal prosecutors are investigating Hezbollah ties in the Detroit area alone. And the FBI has issued a nationwide alert for local and state police to be vigilant in investigating Hezbollah sympathizers.

 

Barbara Newman, a former investigative producer for ABC news, is co-author of Lightning Out of Lebanon: Hezbollah Terrorists on American Soil.

 

Newman said, "Hezbollah makes al-Qaeda look like Sunday-schoolers. They're the best light infantry in the world, and they're dangerous, and they're all over America.”

"It's an army that was started in 1982 by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards,” Newman explained. “And they wanted to impose the same type of regime on Lebanon as they have in Iran. They're a mortal enemy of the West and of democracy."

 

Hezbollah fighters have also already fought the United States in Iraq, and Newman says it’s building improvised explosive devices that kill GIs.

 

"The FBI just told me that Hezbollah is making the most advanced ones that are coming into play. Plus, they're training. They have offices there. It's not widely known," she said.

 

Arab and Muslim Americans who support Hezbollah have expressed anger that their patriotism is being questioned. But critics wonder how it's possible to support both Hezbollah and the United States.

 

 

Goodbye America !

FOR THOSE OF YOU ON THE "CONSERVATIVE" SIDE OF THE FENCE, READ THIS AND LEARN TO UNDERSTAND YOUR FEELINGS BETTER THAN EVER.

FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT ON THE "CONSERVATIVE" SIDE OF THE FENCE, READ AND LEARN FROM A DIFFERENT VIEWPOINT.

Please take the time to read this; it ought to scare the pants off you!

We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington , DC, filled to capacity by many of America 's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, "Mexifornia," explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California . He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.

Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America . The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States .. He said, "If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall! And that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.'"

"Here is how they do it," Lamm said: "First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country." History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: "The histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy." Canada , Belgium, Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans."

Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America , "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.

Third, "We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec ' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: "The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together." Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."

"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school."

"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the major i ty. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population."

"My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide! Are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia , threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fe ll. "E. Pluribus Unum" -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will balkanize America as surely as Kosovo."

"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits; make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-culturism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America , it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."

In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound si l ence followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis's book "Mexifornia." His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America . If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book."

There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today.? Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America - take note of California and other states - to date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book "1984." In t hat story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength."

Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.

If you care for and love our country as I do, take the time to pass this on just as I did for you. Trust me, NOTHING is going to happen if you don't!

 

 

There Are Reasons For Fear

 

If the Democrats win the next presidency this country will never again see the likes of our fighting men who have fought our wars since the revolution. Our schools are turning out more illiterate, irresponsible dope heads, brain washed to hate the flag, hate the country, and to care more about our enemies than our own troops. Since the first day we were attacked the Democrats have done nothing but criticize the president and our military leaders, who are the best on the planet, and sympathize with the enemy. They have tacitly admitted that they are more concerned about the welfare of the enemy than they do about our troops when they are captured, beheaded, chopped up and hung up in the town square. They are nothing more than a bunch of kissy face patty ass gutless wimps who would sell this country out to the UN in a heartbeat.

 

The main culprits in our pro terrorist senate are Kennedy, Kerry, Pelose, Reid, Boxer, Feingold, Durbin, Murtha and Hillary Clinton,

Also, McCain, Warner and the rest who still believe the Geneva Convention restrictions are still relevant in this war.

This from Henry J Larussa

WAKE ISLAND POWs

 

I joined the marine corps on my 17th birthday in 1947. Just before I joined the marine corps I had just read the book, "The Story of Wake Island," by Colonel James P.S. Devereux, USMC. This was his story about his Wake Island marines which he commanded. As I read the book I gave little thought about the years they spent as POWs. What I was impressed with was what they did as fighting marines.

 

At the time of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the most isolated outpost of the United States was probably the little band of marines at Wake Island far out in the Pacific. Attacked by surprise, poorly equipped, and utterly beyond hope of help or victory, they proved to be one of the toughest nuts that the enemy ever tried to crack. Their heroic two-weeks long defense is a saga of courage that every American can be forever proud of.

 

The battle story of Wake Island is every bit as thrilling today as it was during those battlefield hours when our marines were piling up the enemy dead around Wake Island.

 

At that time Guam was doomed to fall because the congress had been unable to understand that an island eight thousand miles from Washington could be of vital importance to the security of the western hemisphere, so the Japanese took it and it eventually cost us greatly to take it back. Boy that sounds like the congress we have today.

 

The Japanese attacked little Wake the day of Pearl Harbor, first with devastating bombing and subsequently with substantial naval and ground forces. Immediately, this obscure atoll became a symbol of national tragedy and individual glory. The pathetically small garrison, by holding out for fourteen historic days, and inflicting tremendous losses on the enemy, gave to the American spirit the kick that it needed. Our people gained the will to fight and the confidence in our ability to fight, and this was done, literally, "with the help of god and a few marines."

 

On the front page of the New York Times on the morning of December 25, 1941, it stated that the remnants of the garrison had surrendered. There was a photograph of Major (as he was then) Devereux. Over his photograph the times printed two great words: Semper Fidelis--the motto of the United States Marine Corps to which the marines of wake had been so conspicuously faithful.

 

On February 15, 1945 the USS Bennington (CV-20) (aircraft carrier) was approaching Tokyo. This was the first time in the war that the U.S. Navy reached the Japanese home islands and struck. In the ready room the USMC squadron was being briefed of the forthcoming mission. The skipper said, "there are some prisoner-of-war camps in this target area. In these camps are members of the marine corps, including undoubtedly some of the survivors of the garrison of Wake Island. They have been prisoners of the Japs for more than three years. When these men look up and see us we must be sure to be flying at a low enough altitude so that they will know who we are."

 

It was an expensive victory for the Japanese. By their own admission, Wake Island cost them 11 naval ships, 29 planes and more that 5,700 men killed.

 

The American losses were a dozen planes and 96 dead. Our dead included 46 marines 47 civilians and three sailors.

 

In the final attack on December 23, the Japs admitted the loss of one destroyer and 350 dead in addition to the two destroyers which they beached and which were gutted by Lieutenant Hanna's fire. The final attack was 26 dead, including a dozen civilians.

 

Those marines and others who fought in the defense of Wake Island fought until they had nothing to fight with. You might say they fought their way into prison camp. The key word is fought.

 

During my 20 years in the corps I have served under 7 officers and SNCOs who were wake island POWs. My first one was my DI in boot camp, SSGT Verga. And to this day I have never served with any finer marines.

 

 

 

Yes!  I feel like screaming names I think are ignorant on the subject of fighting in this war.

Josh a proud fighting Marine, Airman, and Soldier.

What a crew to draw to.

 

They think because they were elected to congress that they are experts on warfare. Especially the art of handling POWs. Their time and efforts would better be served in worrying about our war at home - - illegal aliens.

 

Hell we have people in the service of our country who are experts in handling POWs. We don't need a bunch of congress amateurs out guessing them and trying to tell them how to do their jobs.

 

We also don't need a president offering comprises and deals to them. Doesn't our president know that we have people who are experts in handling POWs. They don't need the president aiding and abetting the McCain 6.

 

Hell the McCain 6 is led by McCain. They are getting their clues from McCain the former POW who knows nothing about interrogating POWs for information. His MOS is a fighter pilot and his primary training is how to fly fighter planes. Somewhere in his training he missed out on how not to get shot down. While he was in prison camp Vietnam knew his father was an admiral and in charge of the naval forces off Vietnam. Because McCain had such status the Viets only ask him what his name, rank, and serial number was. Hell he liked that, so that is why he is on this name, rank, and serial number kick for POWs.

 

New Military Vessel This bit of news brought out some pretty strong feelings for a lot of folks......

 GOD BLESS AMERICA

USS New York

With a year to go before it even touches the water, the Navy's amphibious assault ship USS New York has already made history. It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center.

USS New York is about 45 percent complete and should be ready for launch in mid-2007. Katrina disrupted construction when it pounded the Gulf  Coast last summer, but the 684-foot vessel escaped serious damage, and workers were back at the yard near New Orleans two weeks after the storm.

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.

"It would be fitting if the first mission this ship would go on is to make sure that bin Laden is taken out, his terrorist organization is taken out," said Glenn Clement, a paint foreman. "He came in through the back door and knocked our towers down and (the New York) is coming right through the front door, and we want them to know that."

Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept. 9, 2003, "those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence," recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. "It was a spiritual moment for everybody there."

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the "hair on my neck stood up."  "It had a big meaning to it for all of us," he said. "They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back."

The ship's motto? - 'Never Forget'

That was an email that has recently been circulating – if you would like to read more about this, here are some links.

The road blocks some of us as believers in the Constitutions and many have no way of moving the obstacles in our way.  I have tried every way to no avail.  I live in a Commonwealth that has no approachable lines to our representatives.  I live in Massachusetts.  I always vote.  The offices that could count have no opposition. 

Mr. Kennedy has done nothing for the country, and helped to lose all our Military bases where training of our fine men did take place.  This morning’s paper had him mention the WORD abandon.  This word should not be in his Lexicon.  I have over the years written many letters to his various addresses -  Snail Mail to his Washington office with attempts at using E/Mail.  All to deaf ears.  There is no one in the Massachusetts Democratic Party who would dare run against him in order that I and others may have a vote.

Mr. Kerry needs no remarks to describe him.  He cannot even understand that if we become a member of World Government that he, along with any family monies, would be the first victims.  The head of a World Body would rap the gavel and entertain a motion that all assets of the United States should be moved to the World Bank to be used to build up all countries other than the United States.  The United States received only one of five votes in the last United nations to move what the United Nations considered weapons of mass destructions.  A vote on our assets would find us with one vote while the continent of Africa would have over 50 against.  The other continents other than Australia would not likely vote for us. 

The World Government would be no better than the United Nations.  There are more hungry people now than when the United Nations food program began.  For the United States this means very little.  To my knowledge all programs run by the United Nations have never been completed.  I would like to mention one in which I was involved that only my Faith in the one GOD brought me through.  This is a story never written because I am not a writer. 

In the year 1950, the well trained, well armed, well armored with Russian T34 tanks, and much artillery, North Koreans crossed into South Korea.  The South Koreans had no army to speak of.  Their Police were in hamlets armed with sharpened bamboo spears.   The United Nations voted to send help.  The 24th United States Division was sent from Japan untrained no artillery, not one weapon that would stop a T34 tank.  The 25th Division was sent from Hawaii in the same condition except a battery of 105 cannons.  The 1st Cavalry was sent in like condition.  Please remember this is a United Nation Commanded force.  The units above as well as the South Korean "Army" were pushed the full length of the Peninsula - with nothing to keep them from being forced into the sea.  Remember this is a United Nations operation.  Keep those words in mind for the rest of the story.

General Douglas Mac Arthur diverted three (3) Marine rifle Battalions, each short a Company of rifle men and bound for Japan, to Pusan, South Korea.  Unlike our brothers in the Army we were well reinforced, and had all new modern weapons.  We stopped the North Korean Army in their push to the sea.  We, with new replacements for our Army brought some stability to the then known Pusan Perimeter.  This cost my company all of its Officers and many senior enlisted fighters.  To me it seems that General Mac Arthur may have not been successful in getting this maneuver to the United Nations troop deployment agency (which could have been run by a Russian United Nations unit).  This assertion seems even more plausible as things progressed.  Our unit disbanded to become the 5th Regiment of the 1st Marine Division.  This was 13 September, 1950.  We made a very successful Amphibious landing at Inchon, captured Kimpo Airfield, and recaptured the South Korean Capital of Seoul.  Again we lost all but one officer in the company. The Division turned Seoul over to other United Nations units that didn't fight so well.  The Marine Division left Inchon and proceeded to Wonson, on the West coast of North Korea.

Now pay close attention.

For Thanksgiving there was no organized North Korean Army in the Country.  So we celebrated, slapped each other on the back, and congratulated all on the great accomplishment for the United Nations.  The 8th Army on the West with the 10th Corps on the right moved north to check on unorganized North Korea soldiers.  Unknown to (we infantry types) a very high standing member of the United nations (China) had been deploying three full field armies across the Yalu River.  It seems in after thought that General Mac Arthur was aware and prepared to do something.  It now appears that the United Nations would not allow a member (Harry Truman) to follow through.  He was required as Commander in Chief to recall General Mac Arthur.  On 25 November no organized North Koreans were discovered.  While taking a break from the trials we had been through, and I was thanking the God for helping me from San Diego, through Pusan, Inchon, Kimpo Airfield, Seoul, Wonson, Chosin Reservoir and taking part in every firefight or Battle, of Dog Company, 1st Provisional Marine Brigade (rein), and loosing all our company Officers, but still won each engagement for seven weeks.  Then as a member of Dog Company 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division fighting every company engaged firefight or battle to the capture of the South Korean Capital of Seoul, where again we lost all but one Platoon Officer (mine didn't make it.)  Then sailing to make an administrative landing at Wonson, hike the East side of the Chosin (not frozen) we then crossed to the west where we met the United Nations Chinese Army.  They had orders to annihilate the 1st Marine Division.  I again lost all my company Officers.  I have not a confirmation of leaving Korea, which is fine - the United Nations actions are still unfinished (common occurrence).   I was told that I was flown to the Hospital at Yokosuka, Japan 18 December, 1950.

    This recount is all true.

The new World Government will send units to punish us for any infractions of their DEMANDS.

I Was a Sailor Once
- Author Unknown

Sharing a glimpse of the life I so dearly loved...

I liked standing on the bridge wing at sunrise with salt spray in my face and clean ocean winds whipping in from the four quarters of the globe -

I liked the sounds of the Navy - the piercing trill of the boatswains pipe, the syncopated clangor of the ship's bell on the quarterdeck, harsh , and the strong language and laughter of sailors at work.

I liked Navy vessels -- plodding fleet auxiliaries,--ATF 76 USS Ute-- and amphibs, sleek submarines and steady solid aircraft carriers.

I liked the proud names of Navy ships: Midway, Lexington, Saratoga, Coral Sea, Antietam, Valley Forge - - memorials of great battles won and tribulations overcome.

I liked the lean angular names of Navy "tin-cans" and escorts - - DD 731 USS Maddox - mementos of heroes who went before us.

And the others - - San Jose, San Diego, Los Angeles, St. Paul, Chicago, Oklahoma City, named for our cities.

I liked the tempo of a Navy band .

I liked liberty call and the spicy scent of a foreign port.

I even liked the never ending paperwork and all hands working parties as my ship filled herself with the multitude of supplies, both mundane and to cut ties to the land and carry out her mission anywhere on the globe where there was water to float her.

I liked sailors, officers and enlisted men from all parts of the land, farms of the Midwest, small towns of New England, from the cities, the mountains and the prairies, from all walks of life. I trusted and depended on them as they trusted and depended on me - for professional competence, for comradeship, for strength and courage. In a word, they were "shipmates"; then and forever.

I liked the surge of adventure in my heart, when the word was passed: ''Now Hear This'' "Now set the special sea and anchor detail - all hands to quarters for leaving port," and I liked the infectious thrill of sighting home again, with the waving hands of welcome from family and friends waiting pier side

The work was hard and dangerous; the going rough at times; the parting from loved ones painful, but the companionship of robust Navy laughter, the "all for one and one for all" philosophy of the sea was ever present.

I liked the serenity of the sea after a day of hard ship's work, as flying fish flitted across the wave tops and sunset gave way to night.

I liked the feel of the Navy in darkness - the masthead and range lights, the red and green navigation lights and stern light, the pulsating phosphorescence of radar repeaters - they cut through the dusk and joined with the mirror of stars overhead. And I liked drifting off to sleep lulled by the myriad noises large and small that told me that my ship was alive and well, and that my shipmates on watch would keep me safe.

I liked quiet mid-watches with the aroma of strong coffee -- the lifeblood of the Navy permeating everywhere.

And I liked hectic watches when the exacting minuet of haze-gray shapes racing at flank speed kept all hands on a razor edge of alertness.

I liked the sudden electricity of "General quarters, general quarters, all hands man your battle stations," followed by the hurried clamor of running feet on ladders and the resounding thump of watertight doors as the ship transformed herself in a few brief seconds from a peaceful workplace to a weapon of war -- ready for anything.

And I liked the sight of space-age equipment manned by youngsters clad in dungarees and sound-powered phones that their grandfathers would still recognize

I liked the traditions of the Navy and the men and women who made them. I liked the proud names of Navy heroes: Halsey, Nimitz, Perry, Farragut, John Paul Jones and Burke. A sailor could find much in the Navy: comrades-in-arms, pride in self and country, mastery of the seaman's trade. An adolescent could find adulthood.

In years to come, when sailors are home from the sea, AND SO WE ARE,--We still remember with fondness and respect the ocean in all its moods - the impossible shimmering mirror calm and the storm-tossed green water surging over the bow. And then there will come again a faint whiff of stack gas, a faint echo of engine and rudder orders, a vision of the bright bunting of signal flags snapping at the yardarm, a refrain of hearty laughter in the wardroom and chief's quarters and mess decks.

Gone ashore for good we grow humble about our Navy days, when the seas were a part of us and a new port of call was ever over the horizon.

Remembering this, WE stand taller and say, " I WAS A SAILOR ONCE."

 

 

Discovery of heaviest element

This hurricane mess and gasoline issues are proof that it exists. A Major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has been named "Governmentium".

Governmentium (Gv) has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 4 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium - an element which radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons, but twice as many morons.

YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS IN THE AMERICAN LIBERAL PRESS!!! IF THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS

ARE NOT REINED IN THIS WILL BE HAPPENING HERE IN THE NOT TOO DISTANCE FUTURE.

 

Europe

 

It's fascinating that this should come out of Europe. Matthias Dapfner, Chief Executive of the huge German publisher Axel Springer AG, has written a blistering attack in DIE WELT, Germany's largest daily paper, against the timid reaction of Europe in the face of the Islamic threat. This is a must read by all Americans. History will certify its correctness.

 

EUROPE - THY NAME IS COWARDICE (Commentary by Mathias Dapfner CEO, Axel Springer, AG)

A few days ago Henry Broder wrote in Welt am Sonntag, "Europe - your family name is appeasement." It's a phrase you can't get out of your head because it's so terribly true.

 

Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to toothless agreements.

Appeasement legitimized and stabilized Communism in the Soviet Union, then East Germany, then all the rest of Eastern Europe where for decades, inhuman suppressive, murderous governments were glorified as the ideologically correct alternative to all other possibilities.

 

Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo, and even though we had absolute proof of ongoing mass-murder, we Europeans debated and debated and debated, and were still debating when finally the Americans had to come from halfway around the world, into Europe yet again, and do our work for us.     (The U. N. does nothing) Josh

Rather than protecting democracy in the Middle East, European appeasement, camouflaged behind the fuzzy word "equidistance,"now countenances suicide bombings in Israel by fundamentalist Palestinians.   (Europe is no longer) Josh

 

Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore nearly 500,000 victims of Saddam's torture and murder machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace-movement, has the gall to issue bad grades to George Bush... Even as it is uncovered that the loudest critics of the American action in Iraq made illicit billions, no, TENS of billions, in the corrupt U.N. Oil-for-Food program.    (George Bush has saved millions of European and American lives) Josh

And now we are faced with a particularly grotesque form of appeasement. How is Germany reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere? By suggesting that we really should have a "Muslim Holiday" in Germany?   (Germany no longer exist) Josh

 

I wish I were joking, but I am not. A substantial fraction of our (German) Government, and if the polls are to be believed, the German people, actually believe that creating an Official State "Muslim Holiday" will somehow spare us from the wrath of the fanatical Islamists.    (The Holy Quran allows no holiday's) Josh

 

One cannot help but recall Britain's Neville Chamberlain waving the laughable treaty signed by Adolph Hitler, and declaring European "Peace in our time".   (only THE GOD can bring peace) Josh

What else has to happen before the European public and its political leadership get it? There is a sort of crusade underway, an especially perfidious crusade consisting of systematic attacks by fanatic Muslims, focused on civilians, directed against our free, open Western societies, and intent upon Western Civilization's utter destruction.  (they are not Muslim's.  They are Mohammedan) Josh 

 

It is a conflict that will most likely last longer than any of the great military conflicts of the last century - a conflict conducted by an enemy that cannot be tamed by "tolerance" and "accommodation" but is actually spurred on by such gestures, which have proven to be, and will always be taken by the Islamists for signs of weakness.  (none living now will see the end unless the GOD intervenes) Josh

 

Only two recent American Presidents had the courage needed for anti-appeasement: Reagan and Bush.  (True) but only Bush 43! Josh

 

His American critics may quibble over the details, but we Europeans know the truth. We saw it first hand: Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, freeing half of the German people from nearly 50 years of terror and virtual slavery. And Bush, supported only by the Social Democrat Blair, acting on moral conviction, recognized the danger in the Islamic War against democracy. His place in history will have to be evaluated after a number of years have passed.  (no attacks since 9/11) Josh

 

In the meantime, Europe sits back with charismatic self-confidence in the multicultural corner, instead of defending liberal society's values and being an attractive center of power on the same playing field as the true great powers, America and China.

On the contrary - we Europeans present ourselves, in contrast to those arrogant Americans", as the World Champions of "tolerance", which even (Germany's Interior Minister) Otto Schily justifiably criticizes.  (true) Josh 

Why? Because we're so moral? I fear it's more because we're so materialistic so devoid of a moral compass. (coward is the word) Josh

 

For his policies, Bush risks the fall of the dollar, huge amounts of additional national debt, and a massive and persistent burden on the American economy - because unlike almost all of Europe, Bush realizes what is at stake - literally everything. (The GOD knows what we know not) Josh

 

While we criticize the "capitalistic robber barons" of America because they seem too sure of their priorities, we timidly defend our Social Welfare systems. Stay out of it! It could get expensive! We'd rather discuss reducing our 35-hour workweek or our dental coverage, or our 4 weeks of paid vacation... Or listen to TV pastors preach about the need to "reach out to terrorists. To understand and forgive".  (be wary of any pastor's) Josh

These days, Europe reminds me of an old woman who, with shaking hands, frantically hides her last pieces of jewelry when she notices a robber breaking into a neighbor's house.

Appeasement?  Europe, thy name is Cowardice. (true) josh
---God Bless America--- (if he wills) Josh

 

 

 

Greetings President for life,

    In July 1950 a well armed, well trained, and armored fighting force of North Korea attacked the Sovereign nation of South Korea without provocation.

    The United Nations acted swiftly to send a large number of member nations to help stop the invasion.  The units from the U. S. A. were sent from Japan, Hawaii, and the mainland.  They had no trained infantrymen, armor, or weapons that could stop a Russian made T34 tank.  Within days of the South Korean army and their allies being pushed off the Southern tip of the Korean Peninsula help arrived.  The 1st. Provisional Marine Brigade of the U.S.A. arrived at Pusan.  When they had stabilized the perimeter around Pusan they disbanded.  They became the 5th Regiment of the 1st. Marine Division.  There were three regiments assigned, but one (the 7th) was held up by weather.  The 1st. and 5th Regiments landed at Inchon against little resistance.  They re-captured the capital of South Korea.  They returned to their ships and made an undefended landing on the east coast at Wonson.  The Marine Division made a fairly mild advance to the Changin Reservoir.  The many units sent to South Korea could find no resistance from the North Korean Army.  The United Nations purpose was accomplished.

    We were patting our selves for the short time it took us to accomplish a mission against such a formidable enemy of the United Nations.  We did well.  From August 2, 1950 until November 25, 1950 there was no sign of there being a formidable North Korean Army.

    Myself as well as other front line fighters never dreamed that one of the top five powerful MEMBERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS WAS MASSING AT LEAST three or more full field armies above North Korea to keep the U. N. enemy from crossing into China.  We who had been there from the beginning would not believe the United Nations would send a powerful United Nation Member to try to kill us all.  Like all other United Nations projects it failed.  The war is not over because like always the United Nations never finishes what it starts.

    My question is why were the Chinese allowed to remain members of the United Nations after trying to destroy the United Nations Forces that was sent to accomplish a job that has remained undone?  Why are the countries that fought so hard for the United Nations maintain their membership?  Why after so many soldiers (mostly U.S.A.) have the headquarters of the United Nations remained on American Soil?

 

Semper Fidelis
