Regarding the Vietnam Memorial

Friday, February 9, 2007Where we will Assemble on March 17

Tens of thousands of people will be gathering at Constitution Gardens at 12 noon near the Vietnam Memorial prior to the March on the Pentagon on Saturday, March 17. We will not be in the Vietnam Memorial and all speakers for amplified sound are turned away from the Memorial so as not to interfere with family members visiting the site. Constitution Gardens is the same location that ANSWER used for its mass anti-war rally on October 26, 2002. On March 17, 2007 we will leave Constitution Gardens and march on Constitution Ave. and then to Virginia on the way to the Pentagon.

The 58,000 U.S. soldiers who lost their lives in Vietnam and the millions of Vietnamese who were killed, died in a criminal war. The connection between Vietnam and Iraq could not be more clear. Iraq is also a criminal war of aggression. The central issue today, just as it was in 1967, is to bring the war to an end.

Thousands of veterans and military families, including those who have lost loved ones in Iraq, will be in the front ranks of the March on the Pentagon. Some tiny pro-Bush groups who support the war in Iraq, and who normally mobilize about 25 people to hold signs when massive antiwar protests take place, are now callously trying to manipulate Vietnam veterans by spreading rumors that the March on the Pentagon will defile the Vietnam Memorial. This lie should be treated with the same contempt that people have for the other lies promoted by Bush and his followers to justify an illegal war of aggression: Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction; Iraq was responsible for the September 11 attacks; and that the U.S. occupation would be greeted as an act of liberation by the Iraqi people. Enough lies. Enough deceit!

The Group Rolling Thunder is doing their part too! I have a friend that is a part of this great group. They deserve a mention as well.

March On the Pentagon March 17, 2007 Washington, D.C.

On March 17, 2007 a group of anti-war protestors are planning to march to the Pentagon from Washington, D.C. The March 17th anti-war demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at 12 noon in Washington, D.C. and march to the Pentagon. In order to ensure that the Wall and other Memorials in the general area are not defaced, like what happened at the anti-war demonstration at the U.S. Capitol on January 27th. I am requesting that as many Rolling Thunder, Inc. chapters, members and supporters that can make it, meet at the Wall no later than 8:00 AM on the 17th. We do not want, nor will we tolerate a repeat of what happened at the U.S. Capitol. Rolling Thunder members be sure to wear your Rolling Thunder vests on the 17th. Show your support to our Troops, to those who sacrificed their lives in the past Wars and to protect our Memorials. Hope you can make it.

What is an anti-war protest without a few profound intelligent words from everyones fav. cindy sheehan?
H/T ladyjusa Member of Gathering of Eagles forum

Excerpt of her lunatic ramblings… More Reich-Wing Horse Pucky cindy sheehag

“the willing tools of the Republican killing machine, including Karl Rove, with whom they have formed an unholy alliance Move America Forward, are helping Rove whip a group called “Gathering of Eagles” into a frenzy over something that is not and was not ever going to occur. Okay, I am not sure that Karl Rove started this particular pile of horse pucky, but it sure has his stank all over it, so we are going to pretend for the sake of argument that it was Karl, or someone just like him.”

The so-called Gathering of Eagles says on their web site: “We will not allow them to spit on Iraqi Veterans again (itals mine).” First of all, it is not “Iraqi” veteran that is like saying “Vietnamese” veteran. It is “Iraq” veteran. Secondly, I have never spat on any veteran. I know no one who has, or who would spit on a veteran. Saying this is just pure propaganda horse pucky and the small minded people that are manipulating proud veterans with these deceptions should be ashamed of themselves. But we know they aren’t. They aren’t even ashamed of killing, torturing, or maiming innocent people. Why should they suddenly be ashamed of or disavow their tactics now? There tactics only become more contemptible as their positions become more indefensible and untenable.

What is the deal with her obsession with Karl Rove anyways? I think she has a crush on him. But oh she is not sure Rove has anything to do with the REAL Americans whom counter-protest anti-American protesters. It could be someone just like him…. Pray tell cindy who is your second choice? What a braying ass!

Why I’m marching on the Pentagon

“It’s not about U.S. troop reduction. We want an end to U.S. occupation of Iraq. The White House nor Congress will end the war. They didn’t end the war in Vietnam. The American people did, and it is we the people who must end this war. The coward will ask is it safe?…Vanity is it politically expedient or popular? But conscience will always ask, is it right? STOP THE WAR.”

Speaking of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation

Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation

Overview: America has witnessed the expansion of Islam from a few mosques in urban cities to today’s rural south and the Midwestern heartland, or as one poet put it, ‘from sea to shining sea.’ [What nerve! Quoting “America the Beautiful”

But then again…

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee [No mention of allah]
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Muslim schools, businesses, political organizations, associations, and institutions, inundate the landscape of America.

Despite Islam’s growth in America, there are certain groups in and outside of America that have long used bigoted distortions of Islam; portraying Muslims in America as seditious, dangerous, and totally incompatible with American life. Since the Sept. 11th tragedy, these same forces have intensified this vile propaganda with reckless abandonment. It is important that Muslims in America not be viewed as a ‘fifth column.’ Muslims must continue to build a grassroots movement that supports an all-encompassing approach of total integration into American Society for the express purpose of fulfilling the mandate of Allah (SWT) ‘to enjoin that which is good and forbid that which is bad,’ in a quest to make a better America for ourselves, our children, and all Americas.

Um.. excuse me.. but could you please fulfill your allah mandate elsewhere?

Which brings to mind an excellent post of Debbie’s over at Right Truth.

No Muslim Sympathy for Victims of Salt Lake City Mall Shooting

….In a 2005 article about Muslims in Nadeen Ahmed, the president of the Islamic Society of Greater Salt Lake and head of the IQRA organisation clearly stated that the infidels were expected to show due dhimmitude towards Muslims and know that there purpose on earth is to serve and accomodate their demands and needs.

Clearly stated? That’s rich! Here is my statement in so many words.

Daw’wah is not my cup of tea… being a Christian and all. And dhimmi is not for me, and it never will be! If an infidels purpose is to serve and accomodate your needs and demands, then it sure has taken you all a long time to get the ball rollin’. How long has it been, a few centuries give or take? Take your ball and go home. I don’t wanna play your game. It is AGAINST my religion. Besides a religion(?) has no value if it is spread by violence and force.

It is late and I’m going to lie down in my bed which is located in AMERICA. Which as far as I know has never been an islamic state. Wake up folks. These anti-American groups are out to do this country harm. Talk about your Axis of Evil… there is an Alliance of Evil forming right before our very eyes… The leftist anti-War crowd is playing right into the hands of those we are at war with. Get a clue!

Update: “You Ain’t Gonna Touch This Wall” @ Old War Dogs

“Let us make it clear, we’ve all come here
To defend our long-dead brothers;
And understand you ain’t layin’ a hand
On our Wall you leftie mothers.”

A new appeal for redress… @ Media Lies

If you are active duty and have served in any theatre in the war on terror or if you’re a military veteran of any service, you can sign the petition here (petitiononline rejected the petition) here.

Appeal For Courage If you are active duty, reservist or national guard, please Sign this Appeal.

Vets4Victory Our mission is simple—to engage and change public sentiment to achieve victory in the war on terror. We will accomplish this by raising the soldier’s voice in the national debate on this war and provide accurate information from those that have had the most at stake—the soldier. Ours is a voice of experience, not academics or theory or postulation. We deserve to be listened to, not pandered to or pitied.

Without the commitment of the American people, our use of military power will falter in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our other instruments of national power, such as diplomatic or economic or information, will scarcely gain a foothold without solid commitment. Real victory will come when, as at times past, Americans hold to their ideals, rally as a nation, face the dangers threatening our way of life, and stand firm until victory is achieved. When our enemies see this commitment, they will lose their initiative and begin their march to defeat. We are the United States of America. We should never apologize for being who we are.
