GREAT News for Memorial Day!

"W" stood firm and our troops are the winners over pull-out pelosi, kowering kerry, al-jazeera murtha, and ridiculed reid.

You wouldn't know it from the MSM, but the time to celebrate is here--and the MSM just can't stand good news for the troops.

As I noted yesterday, defeat is the name of the game for these surrender monkeys. If it's not bad news, they don't want to hear it. They suck up bad news like sponges, rejoicing in each little tidbit. And, in their blind BDS, they refuse to acknowledge W is indeed man enough to stand up to them and force them to back down in their ridiculous schemes.

Re: Victory! You Stopped Pelosi's Preemptive Surrender Bill!

Dear [Redacted],

Over the past several weeks, tens of thousands of you have helped us fax, call and write Congress to stop the Pelosi-Murtha Preemptive Surrender Bill.

Well, yesterday you won. And so did America.

In the face of all your opposition, Democrats blinked, selling out their MoveOn buddies. Senate and House leaders caved to reality, pulled Pelosi's "Preemptive Surrender Bill", and instead passed a bill that funds the Iraq War through the end of the fiscal year and does not include a withdrawal timetable.

Famed columnist Bob Novak put it this way: "Democrats felt they could not afford the risk of letting a war in progress run out of money. The Democrats' problem is that this demonstrates conclusively that they are all talk on the Iraq War -- a fact that their base will quickly realize."

The votes were 280-142 in the House, and 80-14 in the Senate. Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama voted against funding our troops in the field, even while most of their peers voted right.

Why did they do that? Simple: they're terrified of MoveOn. They know that their far left "friends" will do all they can to ruin their Presidential hopes if they don't sell out American troops to al Qaeda. The "Blame America First" crowd's appetite for defeat is insatiable, and they have the power to pull Presidential candidates' strings.

Because of this, the fight is far from over. The Democrats have squandered their majority in the months they've had it -- passing only 26 bills in five months, half of which were to rename federal buildings -- but they will continue to come back again and again on this because they are beholden to the net hippies. We will have to fight them repeatedly if we want America to really win instead of just tuck tail.

But we will fight. And like this time, we will win.

So the bottom line is simple. The extreme left cannot have its way with America if you stand up. We can win. And what we can win in Washington, we can win across America and overseas as well.

Thank you to everyone who did anything in this fight. You made the difference. Not for us, but for America. When we stand together, there's nothing we can't do.

For Victory,
- Rod, Tom, Sherri and all TheVanguard.Org team

P.S. Be sure to pass this along to your friends. Our side needs a lot of encouragement these days, and this is a big win, for all of us. And tell them this: we're still in beta! Just think how much we'll be able to achieve once we go live. :)

Keep up the pressure so this fight NEVER gains ground!

A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
I like a man who grins when he fights.
I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time-a tremendous whack.
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Moral of the Work. In war: resolution. In defeat: defiance. In victory: magnanimity. In peace: goodwill.
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
Never, never, never give up.
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism.
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.
These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.
They are decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.
War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.
When the eagles are silent the parrots begin to jabber.
When you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

In Israel, free men and women are every day demonstrating the power of courage and faith. Back in 1948 when Israel was founded, pundits claimed the new country could never survive. Today, no one questions that. Israel is a land of stability and democracy in a region of tryanny and unrest.

We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
