MBVD: Libby's Taken Care Of--How About Agents Ramos & Compean?

Libby's Taken Care Of--How About Agents Ramos & Compean?

It is common knowledge our current class of idiots known as the 110th Congress is doing all they can to tie the hands of our soldiers in battle and to dictate the Rules of Engagement from their cushy chairs on Capitol Hill.

We all know (those of us that aren't totally insane with BDS, that is) this method of fighting a war is unacceptable.

We also know--or have heard--the same hand-tying is being done to our Border Patrol Agents, and, like the soldiers prosecuting a war who are themselves being prosecuted for being soldiers and doing the job they were sent to do (the Haditha Marines come to mind) our Border Patrol Agents are being similarly prosecuted for doing their jobs--in this case, protecting our borders.

Again, those of us that are sane know protecting our borders does not include prosecuting agents who do their job, imprisoning those same agents and then rewarding the illegal, drug-and-weapons carrying border jumper by allowing him to sue in US Court for his alleged mistreatment.

Just and for the sake of argument (and there hadn't better be any), for those living in a cave for the past year, this border jumper was not coming here for economic reasons or for asylum--he was coming here armed, with the express purpose of dealing drugs. He is not entitled to justice under our laws. He is not a citizen of our country. His main goal was to come into our country for illegal activities.

Agents Ramos and Compean prosecuted their jobs in trying to stop this criminal. They shot at him. Whether they shot at his back or his front, I really don't give a damn--for some reason, the current liberal thinking is the criminal needed to stop and present his front for the agents to get a "clean" shot. Methinks they should pull their heads out of their asses and quit drinking the koolaid. Again, that's the same way they want to fight our war--before our soldiers can defend either themselves or other, they have to stop (in the middle of a firefight if need be) and as for identification first.

To make a long story short, Agents Ramos and Compean were prosecuted as criminals for doing the very job they were hired to do. They have now spent over 169 days in prison for doing their jobs.

This is a complete and total miscarriage of justice and of our legal system. These men need to be out of prison, fully restored to their civil rights, all back pay, pensions and benefits returned to them and reparations made to them and their families. And then, THESE MEN need to sue the hell out of the government that put them there for doing their jobs, for performing their sworn duty, for protecting our borders from a crminal. Further, the attorney(s) and judges that prosecuted them need to be disbarred and removed from the bench, at the very least.

It seems Nifong and Fitzgerald have relatives everywhere.

After all this build-up, I want each of you to read the email I received from Steve Elliott, President of Grassfire.org and then pay a visit to sign the "Pardon The Agents" petition here: http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp?RID=13572990

Here's the email, along with some invaluable contact information for one of our now famous grassroots efforts to get things done:

From the Desk of
Steve Elliott, President
Grassfire.org

7/5/2007

I'm a bit chapped at our President right now.

After learning that he commuted the sentence of former White House aide Scooter Libby who was convicted of obstructing the investigation of a crime, I'm wondering when he’s going to pardon U.S. Border Agents Ramos and Compean?

Both of these decorated agents have been languishing in aFederal prison for 169 days, and it is time the Presidentdoes the right thing by pardoning both and reuniting themwith their families.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a great friend of Grassfire, and a true champion for these agents said it best "the President does not seem to have the same mercy for the average men andwomen holding the frontlines of our borders. Unjustly imprisoned Border Agents Ramos and Compean...deserve the same mercy afforded to Mr. Libby."

Please take a moment right now to contact the White House and urge the President to do the right thing by pardoning Agents Ramos and Compean.

Here's the contact numbers:

Switchboard: 202-456-1414
FAX: 202-456-2461

You can also email the White House:

Also, if you haven't yet added your name to our national "Pardon theAgents" petition, please do so by clicking here:

http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp?RID=13572990

Currently we have 360,066 signed petitions of support, with hundreds more signatures being added nearly everyday!

Once again, I want to thank everyone on our team for working so diligently with us to defeat amnesty. Now we must turn our attention to righting this terrible wrong against the Ramos and Compean families.

Thank you for taking immediate action with me.

********************
Now, here's some food for thought. With this kind of treatment being meted out to our Border Patrol agents, just how the hell did our elected representatives expect to recruit enough Border Patrol agents to enforce their Shamnesty bill? Why would anyone want to sign up to be a Border Patrol agent if this is how they are going to be treated?

I wouldn't sign up for it--would you?

And yet, the authors of the bill thought they could ignore this kind of treatment given to OUR CURRENT AGENTS, sweep it under the rug, hope no one noticed or remembered these two men and the abhorrent way their own government--their BOSS--treated them--and hire all the agents they needed.

Apparently, they truly think we are mindless, autonomic masses to be led around by the nose--wishful thinking on their part THEY WISH WERE ALREADY TRUE.

Winston Churchill Quotes

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 always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
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.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
The first quality that is needed is audacity.
The nose of the bulldog has been slanted backwards so that he can breathe without letting go.
The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
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.

Ronald Reagan Quotes

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so."
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.

Facts are stupid things.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
How can a president not be an actor?
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

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.
Let us ask ourselves; "What kind of people do we think we are?".

There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.
To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I did not take the oath I have just taken with the intention of presiding over the dissolution of the world's strongest economy.
Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.
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.
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.
