On a previous post, I spoke of Eddie's Army and that I'm a part of it. Seeing that I got acquainted with Eddie and his Dad, Dave, on my newpaper's internet Forum, I'm fighting a sometimes bitter battle on that Forum. There are conservatives in the Rochester, NY area, but quite often, I'm on my own defending against the lefties. I don't bother them on their own websites, but these newspaper internet Forums are one of the places where the battle lines are being drawn and we Conservatives need to meet the challenge and engage the left on the Forums.

Case in point, there's currently a thread in the Democrat and Chronicle Forum about the moveon.org's General Petraeus ad. Of course, the lefties diverted the discussion to the smear campaign that they're trying on Rush to divert attention from the shame the General Petraeus ad brought upon them. Please, click the link below and read through to the end. They go after active duty military (the user Iraqi Vet) and veterans (namely me!). I try to keep the lefties from tearing Iraqi Vet apart when he posts. I was called a "phony soldier" by one. These people want to take charge of this country and we can't let that happen. Check it out, it's eye opening:

Moveon.overtheline Ad that pilloried Gen. Petraeus should infuriate Democrats

If any of my friends here can help me out by posting a few words, please do. LucyJo has helped me and had some great posts to the "Sgt. Eddie Jeffers" thread that I started on the Forum. You have to get an account, but it's free and any support you can give me with your posts and advice, I'd appreciate!

Please accept my invitation to join Eddie's Army and defend the honor of our military, our freedoms and our traditions!

Reading this reminds me of the trials of Job. God bless this brave American and I pray the peace of Jesus to those who loved him.

Again, thanks so much for helping me out in that discussion! I was getting tag-teamed and it was getting a bit overwhelming. A few other allies of mine also jumped in and I think it’s come to an end!

Thanks again! Let me know if you ever need help!

I think you did a great job, on your own, of putting them in their place! I was happy to come by to number myself among the ones who agreed with you. : )

Rochester_Veteran, please add me to your list. Eddie is and was a hero. I’m proud to be a supporter.

Keep up the good fight. Thanks for your time and effort.

BTW, I was desperate for a screen name. I’m not an Ex-Marine. Former was already taken.

Friends of Sgt. Eddie Jeffers:

Please check out Dave Jeffers "Special Orders". Those of us who've served understand what special orders are all about and coming from Dave, it would be a good thing if we are "front and center" for this one!

Special Order #1

If you'd like to defend General Petraeus, come and post your feelings about moveon.org's defamation of a patriot and also about the defamation of Rush at:

Moveon.overtheline Ad that pilloried Gen. Petraeus should infuriate Democrats

Join me in Eddie's Army to combat the tyranny of the left on the internet!!!

I am broken hearted and full of tears. We have lost a great American Patriot. What would have been this fine young man’s career been like if he had lived? He was so on about the Democrat’s. They have shamed this nation and has incited enemies to kill brothers in arms such as Sgt Jeffers. It was his choice to die for even such traitors as the Democrats, because after all they are still Americans in name if not in character. God bless you Sgt. Jeffers. I shall look forward to hearing your tales of valor in heaven someday, God willing. Lord may you heal and bless this family whom has just lost the finest of their kind. In our Lord JESUS CHRIST Amen. Yes I said Jesus Christ for those on the left who read this post. Ever hear of him? I blame you Democrats as much as our enemies for this painful loss to America.

“The illness of being a democrat is that they will not even bother to read past the first sentence of this.
Out of guilt.”

Are you kidding? These people don’t care about any of us. They are out for the god of self. Do you think after the heinous slaughter of South Vietnam or Cambodia that the left was sorry? NO! These same protestors of the Vietnam War are the people now running our country.

A song by Tesla, think it was an old tune redone:

“Go straight to hell all you government personell,
sitting awful well in that big white castle on the hill

Give me a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and
antelope play, bet your ass we’ll blow them all away

*uck it up until it’s spent then wonder where it went! Thinking you were heaven sent, hahaha your nothing but hell! Go straight to hell!”

I know this, and that is precisely why they will not bother to read past the first sentence.

A democrat is a problem child who has to learn everything the hard way.

Comment on September 20th, 2007.

I have been moved by Sgt Eddie Jeffers writings. I have corresponded with his Dad. I received the news of his sons death late last night and was inspiried to write the following poem.

May he rest in peace,

Cliff Jones

Eddie Rides With Jesus

In a dangerous, deadly, hostile land,
Rode a brave and courageous man.
He fought evil and despair,
Around every corner, everywhere.

He had ideals, dreams and goals,
Keeping his men alive and whole.
Sgt. Eddie loved his brave men,
And fought to get them home again.

He wrote from his heart so deep,
From his pain and made us weep,
For the truth he penned cut like a knife,
To the heart and soul of American life.

We suffer not as our soldiers die,
We go on our way and pass by,
The crippled veteran, the sad bride,
Whose husband bled and died.

Our soldiers give their blood, their life,
In an effort to end the horrible strife,
Should not we support and care for them,
As they fight to protect us from harm?

Let us change! Start something new!
Show our troops we love them too!!
Let’s get off our duffs, get busy now,
And show them we know when and how!

Send them cards, cookies and cheer,
Do it from our hearts and sincere.
Love them and let them know we care,
In every way, and all through the year!!

Sgt. Eddie has not died in vain,
His cause is ours, we will remain,
Faithful to the dreams he held so dear,
Freedom, freedom both far and near.

Sgt. Eddie has left the scene,
He rests with Jesus, so serene,
His duty done, in a distant land,
His hope has reached a peaceful end.

Eddie’s hope no longer rides alone,
He rides with Jesus, no more groans,
His head held high, feeling joy unbounded,
Through streets of gold with angels surrounded.

We miss you Eddie, wish you were here,
But we know God has called you up there.
Rest well Eddie, your mission is completed,
God’s love for you will never be depleted.

Father in Heaven, Please hold Eddie close to your heart,
Comfort him for us, even though we are apart.
Thanks for the years he lived with us too,
May his life bring great glory and honor to you.

We ask this in the Powerful Name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and by his shed blood, in the Power of the Holy Spirit, Amen and Amen

Cliff Jones September 19, 2007
