While reading this, goose bumps and a lump in my throat brought back memories of time on a DE and the pride of the crew...Freepers, can anyone get this distributed to media types that actually care and would discuss and possibly promote this article...Hopefully interview Mr. Shul. Also you VFW, MIA-POW, etc., groups need to distribute this...

Just what part of our history spoke of how easy it was to form a free nation? It has never been easy and has always required vigilance and sacrifice, and sometimes war, to preserved this union. If it were easy, everyone would have done it. But no one else has, and we stand alone as the most unique country on earth.

An excellent post. Thank you, captnorb!

A Sobering Thought and Hope for the Future

Excerpt:

I am also very disturbed to hear that there are people in this country, at this particular time, who feel it inappropriate to wear the flag on their lapel because they are on the news or in a public job, and school officials who want to remove pro-American stickers so as not to offend foreign students. Well I am offended that these people call themselves Americans. I am offended that innocent people were killed in a mass attack of unthinkable proportions. And I am offended at listening to TV broadcasters speak to me condescendingly, with a bias that screams of their drowning in a cesspool of political correctness. I pity the person who thinks they are going to remove this flag from my lapel. This flag of ours is the symbol of all that is good about this country. America is an idea. It is an idea lived, and fought for, by a people. We are America, and this is our symbol. We are imperfect in many ways, but we continue to strive toward the ideal our forefathers laid down for us over 225 years ago. I could never imagine desecrating that symbol. Perhaps there are many people in this nation who have never been abroad, or in harms way, and seen the flag upon their return. Those poor souls can never know the deep pride and honor one feels to see it wave, to know that there is still a good ol' USA. With all our warts, we are still the greatest nation on earth, and the flag is the most powerful symbol of that greatness. When I was in grade school, we used to say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. It is something I never forgot. I wonder how many children even know that pledge today. This flag is our history, our dreams, our accomplishments, indelibly expressed in bright red, white, and blue. This flag was carried in our Revolutionary War, although it had many less stars. But it persevered and evolved throughout a war we had no right to believe we could win. But we did, and built a country around it. This flag, tattered and battle worn, waved proudly from the mast, as John Paul Jones showed the enemy what true resolve was. This banner was raised by the hands of brave men on a godforsaken island called Iwo Jima, and became a part of the most famous photo of the 20th Century. Those men are all dead now, but their legacy lives on in the MarineMemorial in Washington, DC.


Good article. If you don't have time to read it now, you might want to save this and read it when you do have the time. . .
(((PING))))))
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my ping list!. . .don't be shy.

"...can anyone get this distributed to media types that actually care and would discuss and possibly promote this article..."

Next step is to alert those Media folks who might be supportive of our Cause...feel free to add to this list in subsequent posts.

Once again, put "Dear Media" in the TO ADDRESS field, have it routed to yourself in your address book for a file copy. Then paste the following list into the BCC ADDRESS field and each recipient will be unaware that you have blanketed them all.

speaker@aim.org, takeaction@americasvoice.com, pat@theamericancause.org, cbnonline@cbn.org, viewer@c-span.org, cato@free-market.net, drudge@drudgereport.com, comment@foxnews.com, letter@globe.com, insight@wt.infi.net, jwatch@erols.com, imus@msnbc.com, hq@lp.org, marklevin@aol.com, jacolumn@toto.net, feedback@usatoday.com, editor@dolphin.gulf.net, rush@eibnet.com

That's just a start...

FReegards...MUD

but they should understand this; we will bandage our wounds, we will bury our dead; and then we will come for you...and we will destroy you and all you stand for.

Yes SIR! "and then we will come for you" should be carved in stone as the surest words anybody ever heard. I'd go on that trip myself if they would let me. And furthermore,let EVERY terrorist on the face of the earth understand these words,too. You do NOT want to come to MY country to cause trouble and put yourself in a situation where I can get my hands on you. I will teach you a thing or two about terror.

I have copied this and made an e-mail out of it. I will be sending it out to at least 95 people.

This was an awesome.. intelligent speech. Brian Schul is uniquely qualified to speak on this subject. He can speak for this house any day!!

The more we get this one out.. the more we enhance the collective intelligence of this Nation as a whole!!!

God Bless our troops and all agents who are in harms way to preserve our freedoms and safety!! God Bless all who are serving!!!

But we are a country awakened now.

When illegal immigration is stopped in it's tracks, our military built up instead of deminished, our civil rights strengthened not infringed and our self-determination protected, not relinquished, I'll buy into this sentence.

The snooze alarm has gone off. Unfortunately we hit the button for ten more minutes...

If only it was that simple.

If the American government was pushing for individual freedom instead of world rule.

If the American government was stopping abortion/murder instead of promoting it.

If the American government were protecting our Right from illegal search and siezure instead of using the "Drug War" to get around the protections in our Constitution.

If the American government were protecting our Right to free speech, instead of using their "Hate crime laws" to get around our Constitution.

If our government wasn't using this conveinent "War on terrorism" to make our country a police state. I might fall for this.

But I know better.

bush jr. has ties with the Enron corporation, who thought that the little people didn't need their retirements and that the big shots should spend it.

The Bin Laden family has business ties with the bushs' through the large oil corporation Unocal.

Unocal wants control of the oil in the Caspian Sea and needs Afganistan to get the oil to market.

Afganistans new puppet/leader worked for Unocal.

bush and cheney are both big oil men, and cheney owns one of America's largest labor corporations, Haliburton.

Any guesses on who will build the pipelines to carry Unocal's new oil.

bush sr. is a major player in a company that makes money off of war, Carlyle Corporation.

bush jr. has already said this is going to be a long war, he just left off the part about it being profitable.

bush sr. stated:" My vision of a New World Order forsees a UN with a revitalized peace keeping function. It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN charter to which we henceforth pledge our allegiance."

bush srs. father was a powerful banker who helped finance Hitler.

bush sr. also had business ties with Saddam.

Come on people, what do they have to do, drag your children down to the river and drown them because they are over the quota?

We need Nationalism, but it's important to know who your enemy is.
