My e-mail box is over-flowing with alarming news from Pa. where the Gathering of Eagles witnessed a 14-year old boy attacked by Peace Thugs.
This news is so disturbing and so typical, that a website has now been established to document this intensifying level of violence against patriotic Americans. Peace Thugs Exposed!
Dan Maloney, my friend and GOE NY Coordinator writes about this outrage.

Iraq War Veteran and Family Assaulted!
April 22, 2008
Peace Fascists, College Professors and Hillary Supporters assault Iraqi War Veteran and Family while citizens do nothing to intervene.
Edinboro, PA, Apr. 22
For the second time in as many weeks, an Iraq War Veteran and his family held a Support the Troops rally across the street from the weekly peace protest in this college town. This week the true nature of the peace activists was revealed for all to see. When the veterans 14 year old son crossed the street to videotape the protesters and their signs, the protesters became agitated and began harassing the boy. The right to record video in any public venue is long established in law and any attempt to interfere with that right is a violation of civil rights.
Seeing the escalating tension across the street, the veteran and his wife crossed over, leaving their three youngest children on the other side for safety while they went to retrieve their eldest son. Two of the female peace protesters then attacked the veterans wife. When the veteran pulled one of those attackers off his wife he was jumped by four or five of the peace people and knocked to the ground where they held him while beating him and smashing his eyeglasses.
The son pulled the remaining attacker off his mother, but the attacker managed to get in one last kick to his mothers head with her boot. She then punched the son in his face while his mother called the police.
This all took place at a busy intersection, the mother had been knocked into the street in bumper to bumper traffic. People were visible in the windows of shops and a bar nearby. One might think someone would intervene to put a stop to the assault. One would be wrong. In a scene eerily reminiscent of the Kitty Genovese tragedy in New York, the bystanders and passers-by refused to stand up to the peace thugs. Displaying a craven cowardice one would not have expected in middle America they would rather go on their way thankful that it was not them being assaulted. It was NOT them, today, but what about tomorrow?
When the police arrived they reviewed the video of the incident and then, astonishingly, refused to make any arrests, even when one of the peace thugs spit in the face of the 14 year old boy right in front of the police and they did nothing! Officers, that is an assault! I dont know where or how they train police in Edinboro but they obviously need some refresher courses!
One of the police was very aggressive toward the veteran and his family as if they were the attackers!
I think it is long past time for the people in this country to wake up to the violence of the peace movement. I think it is long past time for them to realize that not standing up to the excesses of violence will only beget more violence.
Last Fourth of July, in New Jersey, one of these peace people walked up to a young veteran of the War in Iraq and Afghanistan and shot him in the heart just because he was in the military. Last month another person or persons unknown detonated an improvised explosive device at the Armed Forces Recruiting Station in Times Square. Today a veteran and his family were assaulted in plain daylight on a public street in view of dozens of people and not one lifted a hand to help. This is not the America I grew up in. This is the Amerika the peace crowd is bringing to your town and neighborhood.

It is past time for the American people to wake up to what is going on in this country and actively defend our Troops and country!
From your lips to God’s ears......
I fully comprehend that sentiment. You're welcome back whenever you are ready.
22 years ago I said I was going to retire to St. John's island. The Caribbean is always beautiful in my eyes. ;*)
Having worked for Peace Studies in the past in my job at a well known university, I know they aren’t in the least ‘peaceful.’ They quote scripture, out of context, of course, go by busloads to Washington to protest, and yes, they are the great unwashed and unshaved. Women don’t shave their legs or under their arms. Really classy.
Thanks for the ping!

videos, videos and more videos - makes your peace protestors efforts pale by what we truly face and do not seem to recognize.
Meanwhile good job on what you did and are doing.
cheers
Bump FARS!
Interesting. The "protesters" carry signs and chant slogans b/c they want to be seen/heard by as many people as possible, yet they become distressed when someone attempts to document their message.
I was at a ProtestWarrior protest against the UN a few years back. They’re good people.
Thanks for the post. Will spread the word. Love ‘Protest Warriors’!!
Thanks for the ping.
BINGO
Good point.
So true! They go absolutely apoplectic when you confront them with that reasoning.
Well, we could bring along some softball bats in just in case a emergency softball game pops up.
The Hell Angels carry big hammers, just in case they need to fix a motorcycle.....
Thank you for the ping.
How about we open some of those secret concentration camps that clinton built and developed for liberals?
Ping.
Is the video on YouTube?
I don’t know. I can’t find it anywhere. CJ said he was going to post it, but I don’t see it on his site.
