In each of the 4 years that I have been a member of the state Assembly, we have had many "celebrations" on the Assembly floor. These "celebrations" are orchestrated by the Democrats who control the House and often involve singing and dancing. Every one of my 4 years have seen substantial celebrations of Cinco de Mayo (Commemorates the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla), St. Patrick's Day (for the patron Saint of Ireland) and Chinese New Year's Day, among others. But never once have we celebrated America's Independence Day, the 4th of July.
So, this year, Republican Assemblyman Jay LaSuer of San Diego arranged for Vietnam war hero Admiral Jeremiah Denton to come to California to be a part of a 4th of July ceremony. As you may know, Admiral Denton was a Navy pilot in Vietnam who was shot down and spent 8 years in a Vietnamese prison. In 1966 while in prison, he was interviewed by North Vietnamese television in Hanoi after torture to get him to "respond properly." During this interview, he blinked his eyes in Morse code to spell out the word "torture." He was asked about his support for the war in Vietnam to which he replied "I don't know what is happening now in Vietnam, because the only news sources I have are Vietnamese. But whatever the position of my government is, I believe in it, I support it, and I will support it as long as I live." Four of his 8 years in prison were spent in solitary confinement. He later wrote the book When Hell was in Session, chronicling his experience in Vietnam....

The RATS won't be happy until this country is destroyed.
They'll never be happy. It's against their religion.
Sadly enough it's a whirlpool of which ALL have to fight to stay out of.

that's OK. this will bite them in the a$$ in november.
John Campbell was on Hugh Hewitt's show a couple days ago to talk about this.
Eric Hogue is also aware of it... and I think Eric started a thread here on FR on this subject yesterday.
I wish that was true but this happened on June 30 and there has been nothing about it on the tv news, radio or papers.
don't expect them to; it's probably up to local GOP
candidates to make this an issue, and that will trickle
up to the national slate.
Thanks...Do you have the link or Eric's screen name?
Thanks for the link. I did not know Eric is a freeper.
after living in ca for 18 years, i'm not surprised.
look around you; they've changed the names of lots of things to suit themselves.
for example:
"critical thinking"
used to be logic, but the word "logic" is associated with white males, and that be bad!
"critical thinking" is not that critical; it's usually leftist dribble, and the recipients emote on cue.
You'd be surprised at who Freeps here... some, like Eric, are "out in the open"... many others are "incognito".
bump to read later
Utterly disgraceful. It's unusual to feel to sick and angry at the same time.
Alabama is neither Republican or Democrat. It's Baptist. heh
Thanks a bunch, Rocketeer.
We's bein' watched, y'think?
John Campbell is on Hugh Hewitt right now with Eric as substitute host. Lets see if this comes up. They started off the the joke budget process.
"These traitorous dogs will eventually tear this country apart. I wish they would just switch their party name from Democratic to Communist and have done with it. At least everyone would know where he or she stood."
That's the whole point! They don't want you to know what ground is solid and what is quicksand.
Welcome, dAnconia!
Whereabouts in CO are you?
