If we are going to be a nation of cowards then we deserve to lose everything.

The cowards were the ones who signed the Immigration Act of 1965. The cowards were the ones who legalized abortion. The cowards were the ones who traded with China in order to open up new investment opportunities when the old ones seemed to be drying up. The cowards were the ones who failed to invest in their own American people. Cowards send our troops to Iraq to fight without the will to crush our enemies.

We live in the world they created. I think you should consider the casualty rates in Iraq and understand that Americans are not cowards. Misguided, yes. Misguided by cowards? Yes, in come cases. But the American people themselves are not cowards, The operative noun here is guidance. You need to harness that intelligence and experience of yours for improving the guidance of your fellow Americans first, before you think about anything else.

Cacique will tell you why he's not a coward. He's not afraid to stand up to the weak ones in Washington. He may have understood that their weakness is profound. Perhaps they can be brought down like a house of cards. They're not afraid of force. They're afraid of information. Information exists to rip their world to shreds. Find it. Let it loose. Share it with others, especially here. Information is what drove the Minutemen in 1775. Information will drive us in 2008. Find us information! The rest will follow. Cacqique has done more to inspire me than anyone else has in the last decade, by the way. He reminds me of the Americans who understood that giving their lives on Okinawa was the right thing at that particular time. Cacique thinks FAXes and letters are the right thing right now. But we need more information for those communications. You can get it, B4. Go do it.

I appreciate your kind words, but I am just a keyboard jockey. Men like my father and those who serve now and are ready to bleed in places like Iraq deserve more of the accolades as they allow us to rant here. My objective is to make sure that their memory is notstained by having us abandon the priciples for which they sacrficed and are sacrificing still. If we lose this battle, the nation which they fought for will have dissapeared, conquered without benefit of having fired a shot.


I posted the following on another thread last week. I hope the story serves as inspiration for others.:

 
 
What I do is nothing, sitting on a keyboard is easy. I will relate a story so that you have an understanding. One of my heores, besides my father, was Vladimir Bukovsky.

He spent most of his formative years from the age of 17 over 12 years in the Soviet Gulag. In 1976 he was exiled in exchange for some Chilean dissident.

In any case, sometime in 1976 I was watching him being interviewed by Barbara Walters in a Hotel in Paris after his exile. She asked him why every time he was release he would the next day go back to the street and demonstrate against the Kremlin knowing he would be thrown back in prison. His answer has stayed with me all these years. He looked he straight in the eyes and simply told her. "If not I then who?" I doubdt to this day that hse understood what he was saying. But that is the question we all must ask ourselves. It was at that moment that I understood also why my father risked his life opposing communists in Europe and then in South America and why we came here.

That is what we must all ask ourselves.

I am in total agreement. Why do we have cowards representing us? Are we stupid? Why do we allow our representatives to promote this kind of policy. When are we going to wake up and remove these traitors who refuse to protect our people, our Constitution and our nation? Are we cowards also?

>> I think you should consider the casualty rates in Iraq and understand that Americans are not cowards.<<

Never have I suggested that our military troops are cowards. I am saying that we, the voters are the cowards. We are the ones who refuse to demand that our representatives obey their oath of office.

>> Cacique thinks FAXes and letters are the right thing right now.<<

I think telephone calls are much more effective. The problem is that it is almost impossible to get a face to face meeting with your state senator or congressman. They hate having discussions with voters where there is not any control over the questions asked.
