Wow. I'll help email that one out...
Here, please.
That pretty much says it all.
Affirmative, that's how I got it. Someone fowarded it to me with lots n lots of other email addressees.
Wait til the Republican Attack Machine turns loose Adm. Denton and Sen. Zell Miller after the convention, Kerry will really howl in angst then.
Thanks for the ping!
I look forward to it..Great email...!
...AMERICA LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE...
Americans have been too tolerant of the power of lying. When a mugger threatens, "Hand over your money and you won't be harmed", he's lying. When a highjacker orders you to sit still and remain calm, he's lying. I've talked to my son telling him the worst of all conduct is to lie. The worst of all existance is to live believng a lie. To be misguided, misled, wrongheaded are symtoms of the disease that plagues our American culture. Criminal (or terroristic) acts rely on threat, compliance to the threat to bring relief but too often this is not the case. In logic that which is true implies something which is false is false. The nature of the lie. Better stated, If you hand over your money, you won't be harmed" (example,as are all the rest) The lie is believed and the harm is done. Our commom sense has been harnessed, our survival skills and instincts dulled by liberal laws that provide aggressors access to our country's freedoms and benefits. The lack of concern for one's safety as a personal responsibility, trusting in the calvary to show up allows those who wish us harm success in their endeavors. We don't want vigilantism, we don't want victimization either. This is where we take our stand and stop listening to lies. Thank you Master Gunnery Seargent.
Thanks for the bump. BTW, you have freepmail.
Thank you, My2Cents and SandRat.
And thank you, Ed Evans, MGySgt., USMC (Ret.).
Great Post ! , I bring up most of these points nearly every day in conversations at work .
I work in a Union environment so I fight the war on terror daily with what I say. I never start the conversation but when it is done the enemy( liberal ) walks away dazed and will never be the same again.
I hope the US Marines know that I have their backs here on the homefront every day .
My ammo is my words
My chief intelligence source is now the freerepublic community.
To the U.S Marines ,... and all coalition,
WE are your alies here at home and we are the majority , not the media.
You are our only hope . Never give up , our lives depend on you soldiers out there !
Just today, I had the priveledge to have a long conversation with a Marine who survived heavy action in Vietnam. I learned a lot .
Our dialog covered the parralells of WW2, Vietnam and the W.O.T. I learned a lot.. Our conclusion was that The Vietnam war was meaningful and it did make a difference.
Two days ago, I was stopped at a traffic light and saw a sticker in the back window of a car, It read " D A M " (written in american flag colors) and below it said " YOUR AMERICA " their window was down so I said , Gently but firmly, Nice sticker, And the Genex types looked baffled , then I said , "thanks, it lets me know you are the enemy"
I will not forget the take over of our embassy and the 444 days captivity of our people.
Note to the mad mullahs in Persia: Make no mistake, we are coming for you...and sooner than you might think.
