"American pride swelled in my heart."

And mine too as I ready your account of what happened today. For some reason it made my monitor get all blurry, I have to wait a minute for it to clear up...

I cannot pile enough shame on the head of the man in the oval office of the white house for totally IGNORING Pvt. Long's sacrifice for this country. >:-( So many prayers going up for Pvt. Long's family and friends as they deal with their grief and I'm sure anger at the way their son has been treated. FWIW, Bill O'Reilly was on this story tonite and he said that the MSM had devoted more than 3 hours of coverage for Tiller the Killer, while Pvt. Long's murder and the story of the first terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11 had only received about 36 minutes!! SHAME ON ALL OF THEM. SHAME!

I wonder what the reaction would have been had Pvt. Long been black or hispanic? Could this be a case of discrimination against Pvt. Long? YES.

Funeral held for soldier killed in Ark. attack
By JON GAMBRELL – 4 hours ago
CONWAY, Ark. (AP) — A soldier shot and killed at a military recruiting office in Arkansas last week was laid to rest Monday, though what his headstone will eventually read is still unknown.

Pvt. William Andrew Long's family must still decide whether his tombstone lists him as the first soldier to die at the hands of a terrorist since Sept. 11, 2001.

Daris Long, the dead private's father, has said he believed his son was a casualty of war. Federal prosecutors are deciding whether to press terrorism charges against his killer.

Again, a comment that should be front page headlines across America!! Source
It appears Long was the first American service member to die as a result of a terrorist attack since Sept. 11, 2001. Though others have perished during wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Defense Department and a count by The Associated Press lists no domestic terror victims' death in the more than seven years since.

WoW the AP said first victim of terrorist attack—is that accurate? I recall some powder being sent in the mail,....

The WHY? of Terrorism in Islam

I am an American living in Asia. I am not Moslem, but I am a writer and historian. I would like to share some information with you: information concerning Moslem terrorism. It may help you understand what is going on in the Middle East, as well as significant parts of Africa, Asia, Europe, and now, even the United States. This is important because Moslem extremeists have already struck the United States; I am certain they will do so again; next time you and your loved ones, as well as a vast number of other innocent victims could be caught up in the violence.

Disregarding the social and economic factors that serve as underpinnings for Islamic terrorism, I will address the more fundamental issue: the religious teachings that sanction violence against non-Moslems… And against all women! Here are seven verses from the Koran. These scriptures have been translated into modern English.

…murder, crucify, or cut off the hands and feet of non-Moslems…Chapter 5 Verse 33 - The Koran
…create terror in the hearts of non-Moslems …cut off their heads…Chapter 8 Verse 12 - The Koran
…and fight non-Moslems until Allah’s religion is the only one…Chapter 8 Verse 39 - The Koran
…of all the loot you plunder from non-Moslems, 20% belongs to Allah and to Mohammed. Chapter 8 Verse 41- The Koran (Author’s note: Loot included kidnapped female sex-slaves.) …Take as many as four wives from the women you are sexually attracted to … Chapter 4 Verse 3 - The Koran
…God has made men superior to women… Virtuous women are obedient. If a woman becomes disobedient, beat her. Chapter 4 Verse 34 - The Koran
…When it comes to marriage, Allah makes it legal for you to take as wives, women whom your right hand possesses. Chapter 33 Verse 50 - The Koran (Author’s note: This verse talks about the “loot” non-Moslems call… kidnapped female sex-slaves.)

Most people in the western world have never heard of these astonishing scriptures, but they are in the Koran … along with a relatively short list of others, just like them. This is important because not all Moslems are the same; there are two very different types. Militant Moslems view these verses as commandments from God. They think they apply to life in the Twenty-first Century and they try to use them, regardless of the suffering and mayhem they create, whereas moderate Moslems ignore such verses because they were uttered a long time ago: when the Arabian peninsula, from whence Islam came, was a very primitive place.

Historians tell us these terrorist teachings are part of a cluster of ferocious beliefs that were deliberately added to one specific part of the formerly peaceful and tolerant Koran. These changes were done years after the faith was first organized. In fact, historians also tell us Islam didn’t simply fall from the sky as a full-blown religion, but rather evolved from a persecuted sect of Jewish-Christians. The first Moslems were actually part of a larger group of Jesus’ followers called the Ebionites.

Ebionites were peace-loving disciples of Christ, who shared their wealth with fellow believers, and taught that a man should marry only one wife. In fact, women were much more independent in the Ebionite-days of Islam. They were more influential too. I say this because my research has determined that the first prophet of Islam may have been someone other than Mohammed: I believe the first prophet was a very special woman named Khadija the Pure. Khadija was Mohammed’s first and only wife for twenty-four years. She was his former employer and Khadija was fifteen years older than Mohammed. She was also was an influential Arabian princess who was extremely wealthy. Even though Khadija was part of the royal family that controlled worship in the all-important Kabba Temple, with more than 300 pagan gods and goddesses, she became an Ebionite Christian.

After Khadija’s death, Islam was hijacked by a cartel of corrupt men. New beliefs were added, old beliefs were deleted or relegated to unimportance, and the religion was changed beyond recognition. In the end, Islam abandoned key Ebionite Christian teachings and turned cruel and predatory; women suffered the most: they became the focus of repression, scorn, and violence.

Today, although moderate Moslems are loath to admit these facts, and many of them are terrified to voice criticism of their militant Islamic brothers, because of fear that violence will come to them and their families, the fact remains that these added teachings are not the original beliefs of Islam; they are amendments: They are the terrorist teachings of Islam.

In the near future, militant Moslems hope to unleash a series of unimaginable calamities upon the United States and the rest of the world. Because the terrorist teachings that were deliberately added to the Koran sanction such evils as deception, treaty breaking, and war, as well as looting, murder, kidnapping, terrorism, and human slavery (including sexual slavery), so long as these crimes are directed against non-Moslems, there is no limit to the things these lunatics can do. But the scariest part: Militant Moslems will do everything… in the name of God (Allah). If they die while committing these crimes against humanity, the fools believe Allah will bless them and give them seventy virgin brides as an eternal reward for their brutality.

RIP Private Long.
May God welcome you home.

[HotLead61]

Great Pic. BUMP!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Thank you!
Thank you too, for your AAR regarding Pvt Longs funeral.
The pic I posted, is from the funeral of Corey Dan, and was my first mission in the PGR.
The Phelps threatened to picket this funeral too.
3000 people showed up to support the family.
There were about 400 bikes too, that came from Rolling Thunder, Sarcens, and more, as well as the PGR.
(Funny, the Phelps never did make it)
*evil grin*

Thank you for sharing about Pvt. Long’s funeral, and for representing your fellow Freepers there! May God bless him and his family.

So lets shoot a “jihadi” recruiter and call it even.

For it to be even, we'd have to shoot 1,000, nay 10,000. That might at least come close.
