MAJOR FOUNDING FATHER

of a restored AMERICA!

PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS DR RAOUL ALONG to all the hideous traitorous scenes with the Commie globalists etc.!

PING . . . sorry . . . still having net troubles resulting in double posts here in NW NM

IF DR RAOUL

PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS DR RAOUL ALONG to all the hideous traitorous scenes with the Commie globalists etc.!

[wita]

ditto, and if I was their military family member, I would disassociated myself with them double quick. You are either with us or against us applies in both directions. What a confidence builder for the troops doing the dirty work, to know that their own family is plotting their destruction, in so many words, or at the very least undermining the direction our Commander in Chief has deemed important for our country. Remaining comments about elective surgery, related to tongue removal and lobotomy, self censored.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

While I probably would have wet my pants, Doctor Raoul demonstrates that one well informed individual can ruin the left's whole day.

geedee re you #61; As Victor Lazlo said to Rick Blaine, “Welcome back to the fight, this time I know will win.”

[wita]

...and the real question, number one in anyone's list, where does the funding come from for these oh so necessary organizations, brought to you by folks without your best interest at heart, who have more time on their hands than should be allowed. Lets see these leeches work a full day and still support these organizations. I submit it cannot be done, So lets follow the money.

[wita]

To heck with the monument, I recommend cloning at the first opportunity.

[marty60]

It is outragous that Raoul has to confront these dangerous people alone. Here we are at the point of having a commie lover elected Pres of the U.S and people are just complaining. Have we become Eurpeonized. Run at the first site of a dictator or terrorist.

Why has the disgusting trough feeding by the euros on the misery of the Iraqi people gone unnoticed. WHERE THE H IS THE OUTRAGE?

[ConservativeMan55]

Bump! Hey kristinn! Did you see my We Saw Sean Hannity Thread!

Also be sure to check out our Web site!

[Quix]

i CAN understand that sentiment.

However, I think in the Good Doc's case especially,

clonning would just not do it.

The mold was thrown away and all data on how to make such a mold was obliterated.

He's a rare gem as well as a bird of rare plumage.

And PRAISE GOD FOR THAT!

[Unicorn]

I'll bump that big time.

[stand watie]

!!!!!!

the DR. is IN, as always!

Great job in taking on those nutjobs. Shows you what one person can do in getting the message across. Those people are radicals, never exposed as such by their friends in the media, but it shows you what their motives are.

Group protests war, honors dead

By Bill Potter, Delaware State News
DOVER - About 350 antiwar protesters marched from Camden Friends Meeting House to Dover Air Force Base, home of the nation's largest military mortuary, Sunday to kick off a two-day anti-war rally that will end in Washington today.

The protest, called The Dover to DC Memorial Procession, includes longtime activists and newcomers.

Central to the event were several parents whose children were killed while serving in Iraq.

Sue Niederer of New Brunswick N.J., Lila Lipscomb of Flint Mich., and Fernando Suarez del Solar of San Diego, all of whom lost children in the war, participated in the march to commemorate Thursday's one-year anniversary of the start of the conflict.

At about noon, U.S. Rep. Charles D. Rangel, D-N.Y., arrived in Camden.

"Somebody has to speak for those who can't speak for themselves," Rep. Rangel said. "Don't feel awkward about speaking up, people all over America are listening."

Laura Barnes, a freshman at Wesley College, said Rep. Rangel was right on target.

"This is really important," she said. "People need to know what is going on."

Ms. Barnes said the Department of Defense policy barring media from viewing the arrival of remains when they arrive at the base was a big reason she was participating.

"The media is being controlled," she said. "That's just what (Saddam Hussein) was doing in Iraq."

Leah Burcat, a senior at Caesar Rodney High School, the local coordinator for the Student Peace Action Network, said she became involved because she felt the current war with Iraq was a tragedy.

"I don't think we should have gone to war preemptively," she said.

Ms. Burcat, one of a handful of young people attending the march, said the lack of youth involvement was troubling.

"It's kind of sad," she said. "A lot of teens are apathetic."

A little after 12:30 p.m., the protesters began organizing for the 31/2-mile trek to the base's North Gate.

A police escort from the Camden and Wyoming police departments controlled traffic as the marchers moved out.

The group moved along Del 10, keeping to the right side of the road.

Along the way, some people driving by honked their horns in support, while others shouted expletives as they passed the protesters.

Opponents to the march lined the road here and there making equally forceful remarks questioning the protesters' patriotism.

Most refused to give their names for publication.

Charlie Judd of Camden had no such hesitation.

"Every soldier has made a choice to go and fight," he said, holding a sign saying, War Is the Answer. "It looks like everyone here has forgotten (the terrorist attacks of Sept, 11, 2001)."

Mr. Judd's fiancée, Erlinda Robertson, had the same opinion.

"They made a choice," she said of the solders. "That's their job."

Others like Darlene Odonnell of Dover pulled over to watch and muse on her own feelings.

"This is awesome," Ms. O'Donnell said. "I wish I could join them."

Ms. O'Donnell said, while she is 100 percent behind the troops, all the killing has her very concerned.

When the crowd came to the base's North Gate, they turned right.

Though never entering the base, they lined the fence along U.S. 113.

Parents of fallen warriors eulogized their children and pledged to try and end the war.

Across the street, Raul Deming of Takoma Park Md., set up a small public address system.

"Do you know who you're marching with?" he asked. "These people are giving the enemy an incentive to kill more soldiers."

This was too much for Ms. Niederer.

She ran across the street toting a poster of her dead son, 1st Lt. Seth Dvorin, in his Army blue uniform.

Lt. Dvorin, 24, a member of the 101st Airborne Division, was killed in Iraq last month while trying to disarm a roadside bomb.

"Have you had any children killed?" she shouted at Mr. Deming. "That's a group of good people over there."

"No they're not," he said. "Do you know who you're marching with?

"It's mothers like you who will cause more soldiers to be killed," he told her.

Ms. Niederer, stunned by the comment, bent her head and said, "I'm going back across the street to mourn."

As other parents told of their losses, Mr. Deming continued with his counter demonstration.

Through it all, ribbons on black wreaths whipped in the cold afternoon breeze.

Base spokesman Lt. Col. Jon Anderson watched the proceedings from a distance.

"These people have every right to protest," he said. "That's what I joined the Air Force for and what I went to Iraq for.

"I went so the people of Iraq would have the same right to protest as these people do."

The procession then organized to resemble a funeral motorcade, traveling to Baltimore with headlights blazing.

Event organizer Gordon Clark said the group would spend Sunday night in a Baltimore church before traveling to Washington's Lafayette Park today.

At the park, which is across the street from the White House, the names of service members killed in Iraq will be read.

They will also hold a rally outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where many of the wounded are hospitalized.

Military families march for peace

By BETH MILLER Staff reporter 03/15/2004

By plane and bus and car, in wheelchairs and in hiking boots, with banners and funeral wreaths in hand, about 200 people walked Sunday from the historic Camden Friends Meetinghouse to the Dover Air Force Base, home of the U.S. military's largest mortuary.

It was the first of a two-day "Trail of Mourning & Truth" that continues this morning with a walk of about 6 miles from Walter Reed Army Medical Center to the White House.

They walked Sunday to mourn those who have died since the beginning of the war in Iraq, to call for an end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq and to protest the Pentagon policy that keeps families and the media from attending the return of remains at Dover's mortuary.

They walked to a rhythmic drumbeat and the toll of a bell after names of casualties - military and civilian - were read aloud by marchers.

They walked past the home of Bob, Beth and Bridget Cady.

"I agree with every sign on them," Bob said as an American flag flew on the front porch of his Camden-Wyoming Avenue home. "We stayed at home today to make sure we were witnesses to this."

"These are people who know real sacrifice and suffering," Beth said. "It's not political for them. ... We're patriotic. We love this country. It's why we care so much."

They walked past the Fruitland Grange Hall and followed Del. 10 across U.S. 13. There, police stopped traffic - including Doug Fluharty of Caroline County, Md., who was taking his family out to eat in Dover.

"These people need to get a life," Fluharty said as he waited. "If we didn't go over there, we'd be in a lot worse shape now than we are. And what would we have done if we pulled out of World War I or World War II? Where would we be now? You've got to do what you've got to do."

At the end of the line was Rich Gardner of Horsham, Pa., who was in the Navy for nine years until he suffered a stroke on the job a few years ago. Gardner, who uses a cane to walk, carried a sign that read "Support Our Troops. Bring 'Em Home."

"I am not a pacifist," Gardner said. "I do not believe all war is wrong. But I believe this particular war is wrong. ... I felt this action would be good for humanity in general."

When they reached the air-base fence, a Korean War veteran from Veterans for Peace played "Flowers of the Forest" on the bagpipes. Family members spoke of their sons and read the names of casualties. U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., a Korean War veteran, told participants he has introduced a resolution calling for an end to the policy that keeps families and the media from attending the return of remains at Dover, provided the families' privacy is protected.

Air-base officials have said the policy, which started in 1991 during the Gulf War, is intended to expedite the return of fallen troops to their families and to protect the families' privacy.

But many marchers Sunday said they believe the policy is intended to keep the American public from grasping the human toll of the war.

"It is immoral to close the door here," said Fernando Suarez of Escondido, Calif., whose son, Jesus, was killed while serving with the Marines in Iraq. "The American people have the right to see the truth - the injured boys and the body bags and the Iraqis, too."

Lila Lipscomb of Flint, Mich., carried a picture of her son on a sign that read "Black Hawk Down is not a movie to this mother." Her son, Sgt. Michael Pedersen, was killed in a helicopter crash in Iraq last April.

Jane and Jim Bright of West Hills, Calif., carried a picture of their son, Sgt. Evan Ashcraft, who was killed July 24. He was with the 101st Airborne when his humvee was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. As Jane spoke of him, a demonstrator across the road tried to drown out the speakers with his bullhorn, urging them to stop what he called an "anti-American" march.

Sue Niederer of Pennington, N.J., whose 25-year-old son, Seth Dvorin, was killed in Iraq on Feb. 3, marched across the street to confront the demonstrator.

Not all military family members had lost loved ones. Some were veterans of the Vietnam War and other conflicts. Some had sons in Iraq.

Pat Gunn of Lansdowne, Pa., said her son, Jason, heads back to Iraq today after spending time in a military hospital in Germany recovering from an explosion that killed a soldier behind him. Her son lost hearing in his left ear and was hit by shrapnel.

Larry Syverson of Richmond, Va., said he had his cell phone turned off because he had just heard five soldiers were killed in Baghdad in the previous 24 hours. All he could think about was his son, Bryce, who has been in Iraq since May. He is expected home in a few weeks.

"There will be five American families notified that it was their sons or daughters," Syverson said. "It's a game of Russian roulette and five families are going to lose. ... I haven't turned my cell phone on. I don't want to hear gravel on my driveway. I don't want to hear a knock on the door."

Way to go Raoul. Being surrounded by that gang couldn't have felt good. Thank God the state troopers were there.

You have my heartfelt thanks for what you did. If you only woke up one Military family member, you did a fantastic job!

[AlwaysFree]

Others walked over and complained Raoul was "disrupting" the protest.

This "disruption" was the most intelligent speech made during the entire day! The good Doctor is a real hero .... AGAIN!!!!!

[Jon Alvarez]

she was a keynote speaker at Wells College on Friday about passion and activism. I asked the YR group if they were going to protest, they said they'd get in trouble there and the college was forcing all students to attend...it was for a grade.
