The anti-American group Code Pink has announced plans to occupy Senate and House offices of senators and representative who 'refuse to pledge to vote against additional war funding.'
Code Pink compares their effort undermine the United States government to those of Germans who worked to bring down the Nazi regime of Adolph Hitler. They cite Dietrich Bonhoeffer, an early member of the Abwehr resistance who was executed by the Nazis.
Wikipedia describes Bonhoeffer's involvement:
In 1939, Bonhoeffer joined a hidden group of high-ranking military officers based in the Abwehr, or Military Intelligence Office, who wanted to overthrow the National Socialist regime by killing Hitler. He was arrested in April 1943 after money used to help Jews escape to Switzerland was traced to him. He was charged with conspiracy and imprisoned in Berlin for a year and a half. After the unsuccessful July 20 Plot in 1944, Bonhoeffer's connections to the conspirators were discovered. He was moved to a series of prisons and concentration camps ending at Flossenburg. Here, he was executed by hanging at dawn on 9 April 1945, just three weeks before the liberation of the city. Also hanged for their parts in the conspiracy were his brother Klaus and his brothers-in-law Hans von Dohnanyi and Rüdiger Schleicher.
Code Pink raises a red flag about their intentions by stating, with regard to Bonhoeffer, how his efforts relate to present day America:
In 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed on April 9 for his participation in the German resistance to the Nazi regime and Hitler. What is the responsibility of citizens in a country which has launched a World War?
Code Pink also references three Germans from the White Rose resistance who were also executed by the Nazis.
The anti-American left is making their move. They are working to undermine our government at home to take the pressure off their terrorist allies overseas--especially in Iraq.
Code Pink calls this their Occupation Project: A Sustained Nonviolent Civil Disobediance to End the War in Iraq.
Please contact the local offices of your representatives and senators so they can prepare accordingly.
Okay, they've jumped the shark...........
The democrat's pet monster is becoming problematic.
LOL! I was just gonna say: "Code Pink, meet the United States Capitol Police"!
I would like to ask one of these useful idiot-dupes why he or she is not in a concentration camp right at this minute.
They think history will look back on them as great heroes and whatnot. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
Code Pink is run by old communist, Medea Benjamin. How many times have I posted that this organization should be under investigation by the Justice Department for supporting our enemies in Iraq? Good Lord, it's as though we want to lose the war.
Storming the capitol is a good way to get shot.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
These folks, who can't understand normal thinking, jumped the shark a long time ago.
I was just gonna say, we may have a whole new batch of candidates for the Darwin Awards pretty soon!
I wonder if they'll get any help from their buddy, Murtha?
Off to prison they go!
They are repeat offenders at the Capitol
building...They should serve some time for this.
Hmmmmmmmm...well if they get within 100 feet of any of these offices, the politicians need to question the Capitol Hill police's abilities.
So they're using as their inspiration a man who was planning to assassinate the head of the government. The Secret Service might want to look at this.
You don't suppose the ole Cindy is identifying with Dietrich do you????
HMMMMmmmmm interesting concept (he said stoking his chin).......
Code Pink dishonors Dietrich Bonhoeffer--and also somehow neglects to mention the deep, abiding Christian faith that defined his personal identity and gave him strength, hope, and direction in the face of imprisonment, torture, and death.
Comparing their efforts to his is obscene.
A lot of us wonder the same thing. Of course, their friend Jane Fonda got away with treason so why shouldn't they.
