Hate-Mongers Sharpton & Jackson; Discrimination Against Whites; The First Amendment

I HATE "VICTIM" PSYCHOLOGY! I HATE PEOPLE PLAYING THE "VICTIM" CARD!

GROW THE HELL UP AND ACT LIKE ADULTS WITH A BRAIN!

Now, Ladies and Gentleman, why on earth would I start a post like that? Because I've had it.

We have three cases on the table right now that are somewhat interrelated. One is the Duke LaCrosse players vs. Rutgers' Women's Basketball Team. One is Rutgers' Women's Basketball Team vs. Don Imus. One is Don Imus and Duke LaCrosse Players.

They all have one thing in common (well, two if you want to get technical). Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Hate-Mongers supreme. Men who are allegedly men of the cloth. And the two fat, black jerk-offs have had their sausage-sized fingers in every single one of these pies, using the "race victim" card in each one. To that, I say a resounding BULLSHIT.

First off, the two assholes (who can barely speak around the food crammed in their mouths), need to learn this is AMERICA. We are entitled to free speech. If you don't like what someone says, TOUGH. It does NOT entitle you (yes, I said "entitle", a word often used when throwing around the "race victim" card) to demand someone else's job. That's number one.

Number two, you majorly incoherent, totally overfed jerkoffs, when you're wrong in your accusations about people, PARTICULARLY WHITES, you DAMN well better learn how to squat yourself off that soapbox (you might break an ankle jumping off, although there's no danger of that when you're jumping on) and apologize for ruining people's lives. You BETTER learn to practice what you PREACH with your sham "Rev."'s in front of your name. But then, both Jackson and Sharpton have already lost credibility with anyone who matters.

Let's start with Al "I'm Fat as a Pig and Have to Get My Suits Tailor made" Sharp-Ima-ton.

Somewhere in the vicinity of 1987, and a then 15 year old girl named Tawana Brawley. A case tailor-made to garner headlines, complete with conspiracy theories about the police all the way up to the District Attorney.

Allegedly, Tawana Brawley was missing for 4 days and when found--in a trash bag with racial slurs and dog feces covering her body--had allegedly been kidnapped and held in the woods of upstate New York; raped, abused, and sodomized by at least 2 and possibly 6 white men, at least one of whom had a badge (a cop). She, her mother and Sharp-Ima-ton made a great show in the police station of Brawley's "spaciness" (pretend trauma), uttering of only one word ("neon") and inability to communicate except by writing, shoulder shrugs and, basically, grunts. Oh yeah, they also DEMANDED to be interviewed by a black officer.

The case began to unravel when Brawley and her mother ignored subpoenas to testify before the grand jury, as well as refusing to cooperate in any way with the prosecutors and police. They still have arrest warrants out for them for ignoring those subpoenas.

It was later revealed that Brawley had actually been to a party when she was allegedly kidnapped and one of the party goers saw her climb into the trash bag herself. When found, she was found to have NO signs of exposure, the rape kit was inconsistent with her story, she had recently brushed her teeth--in short, there were simply no signs of the story being true on any level of forensic investigation.

The next victim tagged by Sharp-Ima-Ton was prosecutor Steven Pagones, as the actual abductor and participator in the incident-asserting at least 33 times that Pagones had allegedly kidnapped, abused and raped Brawley. 33 TIMES they made that assertion! 33 TIMES!

Brawley refused to cooperate at all levels with police and investigators. Now, I've been a victim of sexual assault myself. While it was heart wrenchingly difficult to cooperate, I did so because I had to set an example for my then 5 year old daughter. I also took advantage of the free counseling offered to me. So, I think I can speak with some authority and personal reference on the actions of a rape victim. Ultimately, my criminal was sentenced to 4 consecutive life terms and is a guest of the graybar hotel in Elko, Nevada. And, oh yeah---I'm white and he was black, so I also got to listen to all the bullshit of race relations and white women putting the black man down.

Ultimately, when all the pieces were put together, it was clear Brawley had cooked up this little scheme. Her purpose? Unknown. Pagones sued Brawley as well and won a substantial judgment. Brawley and her mother hot-footed it to Virginia to avoid prosecution for ignoring the subpoenas and have yet to pay Pagones a dime of what he was awarded. Further, Sharp-Ima-ton was sued by Pagones, as were the rest of Brawley's attorneys. Johnny Cochran (of OJ fame) and other friends and benefactors paid Sharp-Ima-ton's court debt.

Brawley has also changed her name to Maryam Muhammad. Now THAT was an interesting tidbit I didn't know about. She's now posing as a muslim, probably hoping to play that card somewhere along the line.

And Sharp-Ima-ton? He refuses to apologize. He doesn't think he's done anything wrong. In fact, he's quoted as saying, "...Sharpton replied that Brawley "identified Pagones. I was her spokesperson. I cannot turn around in what I said I believed." As to the jury verdict against him, Sharpton told the New York Daily News in July 2003 that "a jury said in the Central Park jogging case … that I was wrong, and it was just overturned 13 years later. Juries can be wrong. I've stood by what I believe. Juries are proven wrong every day."

As for the other attorneys involved? Let's see--Alton H. Maddox was later disbarred for billing and abandoning clients in a series of unrelated cases.

I used three sources for this information.

Source 1: "The Worst of Al Sharpton"; http://www.slate.com/id/2087557

Source 2: "Tawana Brawley"; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawana_Brawley

Source 3: "Tawana Brawley Goes to College"; http://www.jewishworldreview.com/michelle/malkin040804.asp

On to "I Can't Be Bothered to be Coherent" Jackson.

This blight on the American behind loves to call people names himself--yet refuses to apologize for his comments, stating they were taken out of context. REALLY??? Calling New York "Hymietown" and American Jews "Hymies"--how IS that supposed to be taken? In WHAT context? Please, tell me!

Further, he denied he'd made the remark and then decided to admit it but refused to apologize for his comment; he brought in Louis Farrakhan who THREATENED the Jewish people ("...issuing a public warning to Jews, made in Jackson's presence: "If you harm this brother [Jackson], it will be the last one you harm."). Later, Jackson admitted guilt and sought atonement in an emotional speech. However, he never distanced himself from the threats Farrakhan made on his behalf.

I guess John Kerry got his procedural points from this Jerkoff--first deny, then refuse to apologize, then emotionally apologize (Remember the "botched joke" about get good grades or go to Iraq?).

On to Duke's LaCrosse players.

Let's start with Crystal Gayle Mangum. You know, the skanky ho who accused these boys, nearly started riots in the streets, played the "I'm a poor BLACK woman working my way through college" victim card, got both Jackson and Sharp-Ima-ton to be her voice, influenced 88 professors to scholastically annihilate these boys...shall I go on?

Let's look at HER record and credibility. Hmmmmmmmm...yeah, this NAPPY HEADED HO is REAL credible!

For starters: "In 1993, when she was 14 years old, Mangum claimed to have been kidnapped by three men, driven to a house in Creedmoor, N.C., 15 miles away from Durham, and raped. She said one of the men was her boyfriend at the time, and was a physically and emotionally abusive man seven years older than she was. Creedmoor Police Chief Ted Pollard said Mangum filed a report on the incident in Aug. 18, 1996, three years after the rapes allegedly took place. The case, however, was not pursued, because the accuser backed away from the charges out of fear for her life, according to her relatives."

On to: "On June 16, 1998, she accused her husband of taking her into a wooded area and threatening to kill her, which he has denied doing. When she failed to appear at a court hearing, the complaint was dismissed. The two separated after 17 months of marriage, and that same year, Mangum was discharged from the Navy, pregnant by a sailor she has begun a relationship with. That man would have another child with her as well, but that relationship wouldn't last."

Next: "In June 2002, she was arrested on a multitude of charges while working at a topless dance club called Diamond Girls. According to police, she removed a customer's keys to his taxicab while giving him a lap dance, then stole the taxi while he was in the bathroom. Police chased her at speeds up to 70 miles per hour — frequently in the wrong lane — and when an officer tried to approach her, she barely missed running him over, and struck his patrol car instead. She tried to escape again, but a flat tire ended the second leg of her getaway. Finally in custody, she was found to have a blood-alcohol content of 0.19 (the state limit is 0.08). While being questioned, Mangum passed out and was taken to a hospital."

"In the end, Mangum had racked up 10 charges, including driving while impaired, driving with a revoked license (her license has been suspended three times), eluding police, reckless driving, failure to heed a siren and lights, assault on an officer and larceny of a motor vehicle. In 2003, she pleaded guilty to four misdemeanors: larceny, speeding to elude arrest, assault on a government official and DWI. She served three weekends in jail, was placed on two years' probation and paid $4,200 in restitution and court fees."

And: "As time went on, her romantic life didn't get more stable, either. According to reports, Mangum said she'd had sex with at least three men in the days leading up to the Duke lacrosse incident, including her boyfriend and two of the men who drove her to dancing gigs. Somewhere around this time, she again became pregnant. She gave birth to a premature girl in January 2007."

The full article will be referenced below.

Overall, yeah, isn't she just a shining example of a fine, upstanding, young lady who should be believed at all costs? SCREW THE VICTIM CARD--and everyone who says it's Nifong's fault. Nifong is a total sleaze and should be disbarred for this, but it was this NAPPY HEADED HO that started the whole thing!

She's an opportunistic skank who needs to be locked up for HER PERJURY, at the very LEAST!

Dammit, I'M a single parent not getting child support--and I haven't received any for 11 YEARS. Yet, I can manage to go to school, work, raise my children, manage my money, pay my bills...she gets NO sympathy from me. NONE. She's a lazy assed HO who makes her money on her back and wants others to foot her bills. She's obviously skilled in the art of inciting the public into near riot status...and who are the two puppets brought in to help her?

THAT'S RIGHT---JACKSON (IS he still going to pay her tuition?) and SHARP-IMA-TON.

These boys are white. They are going to college. THANK GOD their parents were able to secure counsel for them--however, they've been left with over $5 MILLION in legal fees. They were ostracized from their college. Their coach was fired. They were villified by 88 academics--in writing no less. And WHY? So some NAPPY HEADED HO could make something up in the hopes of getting a fat payoff.

Instead of the legal equivalent of armed robbery, the bitch needs to get a job and do what WHITES do every day--work hard at both her job and go to school, learn how to manage her money and quit coming up with get rich schemes at the expense of innocent people. Start being accountable for her actions, quit playing the "race victim" card, and GROW UP.

Maybe she should listen to Bill Cosby and Juan Williams, to quit expecting everyone else to pay for her and her life and live as an honorable person instead of a criminal. Oh, wait a minute...Cosby and Williams are considered "Uncle Tom" blacks, sell-outs, because they DARED to call a spade a spade and told them to dig themselves out of their own holes (and yes, I mean a spade is a spade).

And what about our fat reverends? Do they plan on apologizing? No, they do not. Has Oprah invited these boys onto her show? No she has not. Those "honors" are reserved for "race victims", not TRUE victims, particularly not for true WHITE victims, victimized by NAPPY HEADED HOS and CORRUPT POLITICIANS. These boys and their families are going to have to sue to get any kind of closure on this case. However, where DO they go to get their reputations back? Chances are, though, they will forgive. Maybe not immediately, but my bets are they will.

The word "forgiveness" doesn't seem to be in the lexicon of the dishonorable Revs. They EXPECT forgiveness and respect, yet fail to reciprocate.

On to Imus.

I don't listen to Imus. I generally don't listen to shock jocks; it's just not my thing.

I understand, though, he hurt the feelings of the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team by calling them NAPPY HEADED HOS.

Let me reiterate: THIS IS AMERICA AND WE ARE GUARANTEED FREE SPEECH IN THIS COUNTRY.

NOT, however, according to Jackson and Sharp-Ima-ton. Nor is accountability part of their vision of the American landscape.

See, I don't think Imus was too bright saying what he said. In fact, it was a pretty stupid remark to make. However, let's keep things in perspective. He admitted his mistake; he begged forgiveness.

It wasn't good enough for for the TUBBY DUO. It was FINE for Jackson; however, he's unwilling to give the same forgiveness he asked for from the American Jews. I suppose to his way of thinking, he's the only one who should ever be forgiven.

Nope, these two pus-filled boils, wanted Imus' job. Because it was a BLACK team and Imus is a WHITE man. Oprah's invited the damsels onto her show. The NAPPY HEADED HOOD RATS have refused to accept Imus' apology. BUT--they'll take all the attention given to them and ride that ticket for as long as they can.

Again, while this wasn't Imus' smartest move, let's look at a few things. LET'S LOOK AT THE IPODS AND MP3'S OF THE INJURED DAMSELS. What do they have playing? More than likely, songs by JZ, 50 Cent, whoever is the rapper of the day, talking about bitches, hos, niggas and pimps. Hmmmm. But Imus offends them.

They've been called niggas, hos and bitches in their neighborhoods and on courts growing up; in their music--but Imus offends them. GET FLIPPIN' REAL!

Everything I've read about these women is they are very talented players, with wonderful life goals. They've been inspired by their coach. Why, then, are they buying into the hate proponents of Jackson and Sharp-Ima-ton? Why are they lowering themselves to the level of these clowns? Why are they buying into the hate propaganda? Why are they letting these jerks speak for them?

We also, of course, have the liberal dems jumping on this bandwagon. Barak made a very lackluster-I-Couldn't-Care-Less sounding remark. Billary is on her way to "comfort the team".

Granted, the team played their hearts out. They lost, and that's ALWAYS emotionally heartwrenching when you have indeed played your best. Imus WAS out of line to make the remarks he did. But Jackson and Sharp-Ima-ton should stay the hell out of it. These are WOMEN. They should be able to shrug asshole comments like this off, particularly if they are hoping to go on to a professional career. Their hides need to "toughen up". They can't go running to mommy whenever someone makes an idiotic remark.

HAD these women developed coping skills along with their basketball skills, they would have learned that by not giving such an asinine comment credence, they were superior in that instance. They would have come out as shining examples of LADIES. Instead, they're playing the "RACE VICTIM" card. What a waste. And they're letting the prime clowns be their voiceboxes. Even more of a waste, particularly with the track record of these clowns.

I have no doubt some of these women will go on to athletic greatness. Now, if they can develop the life skills they need to go with their sport skills, they will truly be formidable. But by demanding everyone's job who insults them, by continuing to buy into the hip-hop lifestyle, by giving in to the "RACE VICTIM" card, they're lost. And that is truly sad.

Grow a skin, ladies. Learn to forgive as you expect to be forgiven. It will come back to haunt you when someone refuses your apology some day--and then, if you have the guts, reflect back to the day you refused Imus' apology. You reap what you sow. You might also want to increase the class of the people you hang out with and allow to be your mouthpieces. Jackson and Sharp-Ima-ton do nothing but bring you down.

If you wish to be seen with leaders of the black community, look to blacks who are respected, such as Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice--blacks who can communicate effectively, without ebonics, and who have some class. Not hate-mongers like these two jackasses.

And, get yourselves out of the ghetto with your so-called music choices or what parades as music in the black world. The only thing that masquerade does is incite further hatred between the races and instill "double standards" as okay--y'all can call each other niggas, bitches, hos and pimps, but God help anyone else that follows your lead. Get some self respect--that crap is nothing but hate set to a beat. Otherwise, don't get pissy because someone else applies your standards to you.

And, frankly, you're not victims. If you want to see TRUE victims, go take a look at the train-wreck of the Duke players. Or does that not matter to you because they're white? Their reputations are forever ruined; you simply suffered a stupid remark. Nobody died and nobody will die because of that remark (although you've already cost a man his job). People could have died from the possible riots perpetrated by these jackasses in their false accusations of these players. Put it in perspective--if this is the worst that's ever said about you, you're fortunate.

Get a clue, get a life, get real. And get some better, classier, spokesmen who are relevant instead of hypocritical jokes and hate mongers.

Guest Poster Today: TSgt John E. Bitzel, 434 OSS/OSAC

I've known this man and called him friend for 20+ years. He retired from the USAF and re-upped during Iraq. He's been back home a little less than a year. He has graciously accepted my offer to occasionally guest post and this is his first offering. This article was forwarded to him; he forwarded it to me. Please forward it to all you care about as well, feel free to cut and paste from here.

Thank you JOHN! You know you're always near and dear to me!

Subject: A VERY IMPORTANT HISTORY LESSON.....PLEASE READ....... SOME OF YOU ARE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THAT NEARLY EVERY FAMILY IN AMERICA WAS GROSSLY AFFECTED BY WW II . MOST OF YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE RATIONING OF MEAT, SHOES, GASOLINE, AND SUGAR. NO TIRES FOR OUR AUTOMOBILES, AND A SPEED LIMIT OF 35 MILES AN HOUR ON THE ROAD, NOT TO MENTION, NO NEW AUTOMOBILES. READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT HOW WE WOULD REACT TO BEING TAKEN OVER BY FOREIGNERS IN 2007.

This is an EXCELLENT essay . Well thought out and presented.

Historical Significance Sixty-three years ago, Nazi Germany had overrun almost all of Europe and hammered England to the verge of bankruptcy and defeat . The Nazis had sunk more than 400 British ships in their convoys between England and America taking food and war materials .

At that time the US was in an isolationist, pacifist mood, and most Americans wanted nothing to do with the European or the Asian war .

Then along came Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 , and in outrage Congress unanimously declared war on Japan , and the following day on Germany , who had not yet attacked us . It was a dicey thing . We had few allies .

France was not an ally, as the Vichy government of France quickly aligned itself with its German occupiers . Germany was certainly not an ally, as Hitler was intent on setting up a Thousand Year Reich in Europe. Japan was not an ally, as it was well on its way to owning and controlling all of Asia.

Together, Japan and Germany had long-range plans of invading Canada and Mexico, as launching pads to get into the United States over our northern and southern borders, after they finished gaining control of Asia and Europe.

America's only allies then were England , Ireland , Scotland , Canada , Australia , and Russia . That was about it. All of Europe, from Norway to Italy (except Russia in the East) was already under the Nazi heel.

The US was certainly not prepared for war. The US had drastically downgraded most of its military forces after WW I because of the depression, so that at the outbreak of WW II, Army units were training with broomsticks because they didn't have guns, and cars with "tank" painted on the doors because they didn't have real tanks A huge chunk of our Navy had just been sunk or damaged at Pearl Harbor.

Britain had already gone bankrupt, saved only by the donation of $600 million in gold bullion in the Bank of England (that was actually the property of Belgium ) given by Belgium to England to carry on the war when Belgium was overrun by Hitler (a little known fact).

Actually, Belgium surrendered in one day, because it was unable to oppose the German invasion, and the Germans bombed Brussels into rubble the next day just to prove they could .

Britain had already been holding out for two years in the face of staggering losses and the near decimation of its Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain, and was saved from being overrun by Germany only because Hitler made the mistake of thinking the Brits were a relatively minor threat that could be dealt with later. Hitler, first turned his attention to Russia, in the late summer of 1940 at a time when England was on the verge of collapse.

Ironically, Russia saved America 's butt by putting up a desperate fight for two years, until the US got geared up to begin hammering away at Germany .

Russia lost something like 24,000,000 people in the sieges of Stalingrad and Moscow alone . . 90% of them from cold and starvation, mostly civilians, but also more than a 1,000,000 soldiers

Had Russia surrendered, Hitler would have been able to focus his entire war effort against the Brits, then America. If that had happened, the Nazis could possibly have won the war .

All of this has been brought out to illustrate that turning points in history are often dicey things. Now, we find ourselves at another one of those key moments in history.

There is a very dangerous minority in Islam that either has, or wants, and may soon have, the ability to deliver small nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, almost anywhere in the world .

The Jihadis, the militant Muslims, are basically Nazis in Kaffiyahs -- they believe that Islam, a radically conservative form of Wahhabi Islam, should own and control the Middle East first, then Europe, then the world. To them, all who do not bow to their will of thinking should be killed, enslaved, or subjugated . They want to finish the Holocaust, destroy Israel , and purge the world of Jews . This is their mantra . (goal)

There is also a civil war raging in the Middle East -- for the most part not a hot war, but a war of ideas. Islam is having its Inquisition and its Reformation, but it is not yet known which side will win -- the Inquisitors, or the Reformationists.

If the Inquisition wins, then the Wahhabis, the Jihadis, will control the Middle East, the OPEC oil, and the US , European, and Asian economies.

The techno-industrial economies will be at the mercy of OPEC -- not an OPEC dominated by the educated, rational Saudis of today, but an OPEC dominated by the Jihadis. Do you want gas in your car? Do you want heating oil next winter? Do you want the dollar to be worth anything? You had better hope the Jihad, the Muslim Inquisition, loses, and the Islamic Reformation wins.

If the Reformation movement wins, that is, the moderate Muslims who believe that Islam can respect and tolerate other religions, live in peace with the rest of the world, and move out of the 10th century into the 21st, then the troubles in the Middle East will eventually fade away. A moderate and prosperous Middle East will emerge.

We have to help the Reformation win, and to do that we have to fight the Inquisition, i . e . , the Wahhabi movement, the Jihad, Al Qaeda and the Islamic terrorist movements. We have to do it somewhere. We can't do it everywhere at once. We have created a focal point for the battle at a time and place of our choosing . . . . . . . . in Iraq . Not in New York , not in London , or Paris or Berlin , but in Iraq , where we are doing two important things.

(1) We deposed Saddam Hussein. Whether Saddam Hussein was directly involved in the 9/11 terrorist attack or not, it is undisputed that Saddam has been actively supporting the terrorist movement for decades Saddam is a terrorist! Saddam is, or was, a weapon of mass destruction, responsible for the deaths of probably more than a 1,000,000 Iraqis and 2,000,000 Iranians .

(2) We created a battle, a confrontation, a flash point, with Islamic terrorism in Iraq. We have focused the battle. We are killing bad people, and the ones we get there we won't have to get here. We also have a good shot at creating a democratic, peaceful Iraq, which will be a catalyst for democratic change in the rest of the Middle East, and an outpost for a stabilizing American military presence in the Middle East for as long as it is needed .

WW II, the war with the Japanese and German Nazis, really began with a "whimper" in 1928. It did not begin with Pearl Harbor. It began with the Japanese invasion of China. It was a war for fourteen years before the US joined it. It officially ended in 1945 -- a 17 year war -- and was followed by another decade of US occupation in Germany and Japan to get those countries reconstructed and running on their own a gain . . a 27 year war.

WW II cost the United States an amount equal to approximately a full year's GDP -- adjusted for inflation, equal to about $12 trillion dollars. WW II cost America more than 400,000 soldiers killed in action, and nearly 100,000 still missing in action.

The Iraq war has, so far, cost the United States about $160,000,000,000, which is roughly what the 9/11 terrorist attack cost New York. It has also cost about 3,000 American lives, which is roughly equivilant to lives that the Jihad killed (within the United States) in the 9/11 terrorist attack .

The cost of not fighting and winning WW II would have been unimaginably greater -- a world dominated by Japanese Imperialism and German Nazism .

This is not a 60-Minutes TV show, or a 2-hour movie in which everything comes out okay . The real world is not like that. It is messy, uncertain, and sometimes bloody and ugly. It always has been, and probably always will be .

The bottom line is that we will have to deal with Islamic terrorism until we defeat it, whenever that is. It will not go away if we ignore it .

If the US can create a reasonably democratic and stable Iraq , then we have an ally, like England , in the Middle East, a platform, from which we can work to help modernize and moderate the Middle East. The history of the world is the clash between the forces of relative civility and civilization, and the barbarians clamoring at the gates to conquer the world.

The Iraq War is merely another battle in this ancient and never ending war. Now, for the first time ever, the barbarians are about to get nuclear weapons. Unless some body prevents them from getting them.

We have four options:

1 . We can defeat the Jihad now, before it gets nuclear weapons.

2 . We can fight the Jihad later, after it gets nuclear weapons (which may be as early as next year, if Iran 's progress on nuclear weapons is what Iran claims it is).

3 . We can surrender to the Jihad and accept its dominance in the Middle East now; in Europe in the next few years or decades, and ultimately in America.

OR

4 . We can stand down now, and pick up the fight later when the Jihad is more widespread and better armed, perhaps after the Jihad has dominated France and Germany and possibly most of the rest of Europe. It will, of course, be more dangerous, more expensive, and much bloodier.

If you oppose this war, I hope you like the idea that your children, or grandchildren, may live in an Islamic America under the Mullahs and the Sharia, an America that resembles Iran today.

The history of the world is the history of civilization clashes, cultural clashes. All wars are about ideas, ideas about what society and civilization should be like, and the most determined always win.

Those who are willing to be the most ruthless always win . The pacifists always lose, because the anti-pacifists kill them .

Remember, perspective is every thing, and America 's schools teach too little history for perspective to be clear, especially in the young American mind.

The Cold War lasted from about 1947 at least until the Berlin Wall came down in 1989; forty-two years!

Europe spent the first half of the 19th century fighting Napoleon, and from 1870 to 1945 fighting Germany !

World War II began in 1928, lasted 17 years, plus a ten year occupation, and the US still has troops in Germany and Japan . World War II resulted in the death of more than 50,000,000 people, maybe more than 100,000,000 people, depending on which estimates you accept.

The US has taken more than 3,000 killed in action in Iraq. The US took more than 4,000 killed in action on the morning of June 6, 1944 , the first day of the Normandy Invasion to rid Europe of Nazi Imperialism.

In WW II the US averaged 2,000 KIA a week -- for four years. Most of the individual battles of WW II lost more Americans than the entire Iraq war has done so far

The stakes are at least as high . . A world dominated by representative governments with civil rights, human rights, and personal freedoms . . or a world dominated by a radical Islamic Wahhabi movement, by the Jihad, under the Mullahs and the Sharia (Islamic law) .

It's difficult to understand why the average American does not grasp this. They favor human rights, civil rights, liberty and freedom, but evidently not for Iraqis.

"Peace Activists" always seem to demonstrate here in America , where it's safe.

Why don't we see Peace Activist demonstrating in Iran , Syria , Iraq , Sudan , North Korea , in the places that really need peace activism the most? I'll tell you why! They would be killed!

The liberal mentality is supposed to favor human rights, civil rights, democracy, multiculturalism, diversity, etc . , but if the Jihad wins, wherever the Jihad wins, it is the end of civil rights, human rights, democracy, multiculturalism, diversity, etc.

Americans who oppose the liberation of Iraq are coming down on the side of their own worst enemy!

Please consider passing along copies of this article to students in high school, college and university as it contains information about the American past that is very meaningful today -- history about America that very likely is completely unknown by them (and their instructors, too). By being denied the facts of our history, they are at a decided disadvantage when it comes to reasoning and thinking through the issues of today. They are prime targets for misinformation campaigns beamed at enlisting them in causes and beliefs that are special interest agenda driven

The Democratic Follies

Three articles today; one from Townhall, one from NewsMax and one fron CNS News.

When one is President of the United States, it's understood you often have to deal with difficult people. Those people don't really care which "party" you represent; to them, you represent an entire country. These people don't care if the media has a particular "bias" you don't care for--if you profess to that being an issue of yours, they see it as a weakness to exploit.

As the leader of the free world, you are expected to deal with all issues that come your way, whether you like it or not. You are expected to deal with people whose ideas and idealogies you don't agree with. And you'll be doing it on a very public stage.

These people, who also represent countries or factions of their own, may loathe you. You have to deal with that. However, when they deal with you, they want to know they are dealing with YOU--not your puppet-master.

John Edwards has shown not once, but twice, he won't deal with people he perceives as "different" or "having a conservative bias", mainly Fox News. He is shown to be wearing the strings of his puppet-master, George Soros of MoveOn.org.

How are we the people to have any faith in him being President, being the leader of the free world, if he won't even debate on a news network he perceives as too conservative? How are we to believe he's free of his strings and will truly represent the interests of the country rather than Mr. Soros?

We can't. He doesn't. And, as such, he doesn't deserve the office of President. How will he deal with the thugs, tyrants and dictators of the world if he's afraid of conservatism? His actions show his complete cowardice. That is not good, no matter how you paint or spin it, for this country.

Here's the Townhall article: "Brave John Edwards Ran Away"
http://townhall.com/columnists/JonSanders/2007/04/09/brave_john_edwards_ran_away

In another item from Newsmax, Elizabeth Edwards isn't capable of dealing with neighbors and their opposing viewpoint. While we empathize with the Edwards' family regarding Elizabeth's cancer, she has chosen to stay on the campaign trail, with the support of her family. Her illness doesn't excuse such idiotic ramblings, imagined "fears" and outright prejudice she professes regarding her Orange County neighbor.

Directly across the street from their McMansion is the home of Monty Johnson. Mr. Johnson is a Republican. Mr. Johnson protected his property (albeit not the best way) by chasing people off his property while waving a gun. The Edwards' reaction doesn't bode well for the 2nd Amendment and leads us to extrapolate the common citizen won't be allowed to defend his or her property, a typical democrat attitude leaning towards socialism/facism/communism and the belief we all need "nannys" to watch over us.

Mr. Johnson has a business on his property, leased as a car shop. Mr. Johnson doesn't have hordes of landscapers and builders, so his property, bought during the Great Depression by his family and worn with time, is considered "slummy" by the Edwards', who claim he keeps it that way on purpose to, basically "spite" them. I prefer Mr. Johnson's response, "I have to budget. I have to leave within my means," Johnson said. "I don't have millions of dollars to fix the place."

MOST of our First Lady's (I really don't count Billary) have a modicum of class and are not quite so transparent with their paranoia. The fact we're seeing such prejudice and paranoia coming from Elizabeth shows what kind of First Lady she would make. It's not a pretty picture. If her husband isn't running from debates, she's making polarizing/divisive/prejudicial statements about the opposing party.

Nice act guys--glad to see it materialized before you got elected.

Here's the NewsMax Article: "John Edward's Wife Scared by 'Rabid Republican'":
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2007/4/9/103709.shtml?s=al&promo_code=320E-1

Our third article comes from CNS News and relates to Steny Hoyer's (Pelosi's lapdog) meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood--the parent organization of Hamas. This on the heels of Pelosi's attempt to do the Secretary of State's job in Damascus (and failing miserably, even to the point she didn't see she was being ridiculed to her face for "mis-reading" the signs).

So, now we have the SoH dealing with Hezbollah and the House Majority Leader dealing with Hamas. But the defeatists (leftists, liberals, tree-huggers, traitors, you pick the adjective) would have us believe there's nothing wrong with this. Maybe the only way they'll ever learn is when we have yet another terrorist incident on US soil. Unfortunately, if they have their way, there won't be a military to defend them and their rights to spew the filth and hate they can't seem to contain, said liberal leanings being recently seen to be a mental illness such as Tourette's.

Here's the article: "Top Democrat Meets With Radical Islamists":
http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200704/POL20070409b.html

Here are other articles along the same lines of Democratic Leaders meeting with terrorist organizations:

"Hamas Confirms Meeting With Group of Democrats (Leader claims U.S. party willing to hold dialogue with terrorists)":
http://www.israelnetdaily.com/redir.php?headline=95344

"Report: Hamas Ministers met With US, EU Officials":
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3337041,00.html

And these so-called leaders don't want us to know these things or will brush them off as "diplomacy", something best left to appointed diplomats. Dealing with terrorists at OUR peril. Yet, half the country thinks this is okay. They call themselves Democrats.

Please explain to me why it's "okay" to deal with terrorist states/leaders who have made it clear they want to annihilate us? Please, explain to me why these Democrats think "talking" will work with these terrorist nations against all proof to the contrary? What is it they just don't get? Or is their arrogance too overwhelming in their minds they think all countries will bow down to them? Are they truly that delusional?


God help us all if they take over the White House in a time of war.

More Nancy Pelosi Fallout

This picture says it all (courtesy of Family Security Matters at this link:

It seems she received a letter from the President today. There have been a LOT of fingers flying over the blogs and the MSM has gone banana-cakes over her terrorist-loving self, but the letter is priceless. Here it is from Drudge (http://www.drudgereport.com/flash6.htm):

GOP SLAMS PELOSI: GET BACK TO WORK
Mon Apr 09 2007 10:28:28 ET

Today, GOP Leaders from both chambers urged Speaker Pelosi to call the House back into session immediately to finish its work on the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill for the troops. Speaker Pelosi neglected to appoint House conferees before the two-week break, further delaying negotiations on a final bill. The joint letter to Pelosi is attached. Text follows:

Dear Speaker Pelosi: We are writing to urge you to call the House back into session immediately so that Congress can finish its work on the emergency legislation to fund the Global War on Terrorism. This funding request has been pending since February 5, but your leadership team chose to leave town for more than two weeks rather than completing this bill. As a result, our troops have been put at risk.

We are especially troubled by the House's failure to appoint conferees. The Senate appointed conferees on March 29, moments after passing its bill, but the House never did so despite passing the bill a week earlier. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told the Senate that he hoped the House-Senate conference would begin on March 30. That hoped-for progress has been thwarted by your failure to act.

It should go without saying that our military leaders are in the best position to know the needs of our troops, and they have left no doubt that this funding is needed urgently. General Peter Schoomaker, United States Army Chief of Staff, has written that, "without approval of the supplemental funds in April, we will be forced to take increasingly draconian measures which will impact Army readiness and impose hardships on our Soldiers and their families." Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has also emphasized the dangers of delay: "This kind of disruption to key programs will have a genuinely adverse effect on the readiness of the Army and the quality of life for soldiers and their families."

Our troops need this funding, and they need it soon. The Senate is in session and ready to work. We respectfully request that you cancel the remainder of your break, call the House back into session, appoint conferees promptly, and work in good faith to pass a clean supplemental funding bill that the President can sign as soon as possible. Every day we don't fund our troops is a day their ability to fight this war is weakened.

The Media's Ideological View of Pelosi's Trip: http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20070409/cm_thenation/7183655
There's just one problem with this article, however--the Constitution (and said Separation of Powers listed within and how those apply to Pelosi's gross over-stepping those powers) is conveniently omitted by author Katrina vanden Heuvel.

Stay posted for more! This isn't going to blow over like Botox Queen wanted and could have serious effects on the Democratic party--more serious than they either wanted or expected.
