The enemy within

When Jane Fonda visited North Vietnamese army troops while our GIs were being killed by those she was comforting, we tagged her "Hanoi Jane."
Now she and other Vietnam-era war protesters are back at their divisive, feckless game. They and their latest recruits apparently can't compute that our country has just been assaulted by madmen as bad as Hitler's worst.
Self-appointed geo-strategist Fonda, commenting about the attack that killed more than 6,000 civilians in New York City alone, has already concluded, "It would be a mistake for America to retaliate militarily."
Fonda, a born-again loose cannon concerned about "the saber rattling and calls for vengeance,'' is urging people to "try to understand the underlying cause of the crime.''
Right and while we're turning the other cheek, terrorists will be taking out the Statue of Liberty.
Where do we get such wrongheaded, solipsistic Looney Tunes?
Want more?
Self-anointed Saint Madonna not exactly known for her vows of poverty, chastity or acts of humility is praying for peace while paraphrasing her apparent role model, Mother Teresa. "Violence," she says, "begets violence."
Try that one from the Material Girl out on the families whose loved ones didn't come home from work on Sept. 11. Or the orphans who want their moms and dads to hold them and tell them it's all been a bad dream.
Phil Donahue remained true to his hippy roots when he argued on television that "the memory" of those killed in the attacks wouldn't "be honored by going out and killing other civilians."
Bill Maher put the icing on the appeasement cake for all his pacifist pals when he announced: "We have been cowards. Lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away, that's cowardly. Staying on the airplane when it hits the building, say what [you] want about it, [is] not cowardly."
Mr. Maher, check out how that message went down with the rescue crews digging through smoking ruins with their bare hands, searching for survivors, while you were pontificating on prime time. Ask the widows of the firemen and policemen who paid the ultimate price about who's cowardly and who's brave.
Besides big mouths, what these celebrities have in common is that they all live in secure palaces where even their servants have access to gas masks. They're about as connected to the American people and the enormity of this tragedy as the terrorists themselves.
My wife, the former flower child, supposes that they might be so into denial they can't accept the hard truths that on Sept. 11, American civilians suffered almost three times the deaths inflicted upon our soldiers and sailors at Pearl Harbor, and that our very survival is at stake.
Whatever their hang-ups, one would think that even these high-profile yo-yos would get their acts together enough to support protecting their fellow Americans from clear and present danger. But the clueless celebs keep compulsively stirring the peace protest pot even though their calls for pacification amount to providing aid to an implacable enemy whose publicly avowed purpose is to destroy our land of the free.
For sure, lots of rats are rolling in the aisles in Kabul and Baghdad while watching these clowns rant and rave on the tube. And the word from many who fought to preserve the Constitution, which gives these wonders the right to make fools of themselves, is that their treachery is over-the-top. That now, more than ever, we need to be a country united not torn apart as we were over Vietnam, when protests aimed at the troops caused far more deaths by destroying our soldiers' will to fight.
Our privileged betrayers should ask what the world would be like had the USA not stood tall in the 20th century. Then, if they like the answer, they can go visit the Taliban as Fonda did the NVA.
David Horowitz, a Vietnam-era peacenik, said, "If I have one regret from my radical years, it is that this country was too tolerant towards the treason of its enemies from within."
We can and should dissent when it's appropriate but our first priority must be to secure Fort America from future strikes. Until then, we need to rally round the flag and practice unity, not division.
And, as we used to say in Vietnam: "Stay alert, stay alive."

I'm afraid it's much worse than that...
This evening, FOX had that moron Al Sharpton on television - pontificating on subjects for which he should never be asked an opinion. Just WHO the hell is Sharpton? He came to fame - defending a lying black bitch, over false rape charges that resulted in his sorry ass getting sued. Certainly he has NO SINGLE accomplishment that warrants shoving his stupid, racist, opportunistic face into America's living rooms.
Does black America REALLY accept this "man" as their spokesperson? I rather doubt it...
Semper Fi
Great news.
Monday night was the last straw for WCHS-TV8. To the staff & management of this Charleston, West Virginia station, a big FR Salute!
Perhaps other freepers in the area could give them some thanks and encouragement. Thanks for the info.
Do you remember any advertisers?
hehehehe
Hack's terrific!
Seconded!
NO,he is NOT. He even KNOWS he isn't "the most decorated living soldier",never mind the most decorated US soldier in history. He obviously wants people to think this since he never bothers to correct them. Then again,Hackworth is a former career officer who somehow "mistakenly" got confused about being authorized to wear the "Ranger" tab and a few othere doo-dahs,and had to alter his web site to take them off his A&D list after a few people got to checking his claims.
BTW,the man who is not only the "most decorated living soldier",but who is also the most decorated US soldier in history is LTC Robert Howard (retired). Hackworth knows this,too.
I guess that whatever he says
Well,given the above paragraphs,you figure it out. is right.
Ok I'll say what I want...PIG'S ASS!!!
Sneaking up on and murdering innocent men, women and children in cold blood without having the balls to hang around and face up to what you've done is not cowardly?.....it bares repeating...PIG'S ASS!!!
When they ask what that means, explain that that is the weight of rotting human flesh under the WTC.
A declaration of war is the dividing line between treason and free speech. The President should press for a declaration of war to observe Constitutional rule and to bring treason into the jurisdiction of the military courts. Otherwise, prosecution is nearly impossible in many cases and improper in every case.
I'd say its at least on a par with the violent husband who hunts down his fleeing wife who has filed for divorce only to gun her down & then put the barrel of the gun in his own mouth.
The TRUEST example of yellow bellied, yellow spined cowardice known to man!
this, my friends, is truly the elephant in the living room.
Vietnam was a textbook case of what happens when war is waged without a declaration. The President is hamstrung, and Congress gets to conduct the war by committee. Treason isn't punishable, and Congress becomes a cesspool of treason.
A declaration of war can be issued by Congress against those known to sponsor and commit terrorism, the Taliban government, Hamas, Hezbolla, and every other organization with a name. The US has declared war before on a gang of pirates. Treason in time of war is a hanging offense. With no declaration of war, people like Aldrich Ames go to prison. With a declaration of war, even a sitting Senator would hang for treason, and it would happen quickly by military tribunal.
You should read the US Constitution sometime. It's fascinating stuff, and it's roundly ignored by almost every elected official in the country.
