To The Citizens Of Free Republic:
We will never ever forget your support and help. Your threads not only encouraged us but kept the truth alive in a period when Big Media sought to suppress the story. Your e-mails and phone calls to Big Media at least shamed them. The thousands of contributions we got from you helped us to organize our website, produce our earliest ads, and keep the light flickering in the darkest of times. The English at Agincourt would have executed Kerry for meeting with the enemy and betraying them. In contrast, we found a true band of brothers who stood with us and supported us. Thank you. We will never forget it.
John O'Neill
November 15, 2004
John O'Neill is the Paul Revere of the 21st Century.
Swiftees, we thank you for doing the right thing. We will never forget you, not for only your service to the country, but for the monumental accomplishment all of you have made in the defeat of a treasonous man salivating for the White House when he should, indeed, have been mortally punished for it God bless each one of you. God bless America.
Thousands of years ago, the Persian Emperor Xerxes and 600,000 of the fiercest fighters in the world came to invade and conquer Greece, they faced Spartan King/General Leonidas, 300 of his personal bodyguard, plus a handful of Thebans and others who had volunteered to defend their homeland against them.
When Xerxes offered to spare their lives if they laid down their arms, Leonidas shouted these two words back:
"MOLON LABE!"
("Come and get them!")
In the spot of the battle today, there stands a plaque honoring the memories of those valiant men, it reads:
"Go tell the Spartans, travelers passing by, that here, obedient to their laws we lie."
America's Vietnam veterans stood their ground, and refused to lay down their arms, and in the end, they proved that winning a battle is sometimes more important than winning the war.
To the brothers who fought and fell, and to the ones who fought beyond the war...and won the battle, goes the heartfelt thanks of this citizen, and of a grateful nation.
Well done...well done indeed.
Go tell the Spartans...
God bless you Mr. O'Neill, and to all of our Vets, from every war. I was honered to donate to your cause, and embarrassed for doing nothing when it would have mattered most, when our VN Vets returned home. I will NEVER again let our men and women in the Military suffer the pain you good men had to put up with for the last 30 years. I will forever be thankful for your service and humbly say your welcome for my small part in your struggle against the TRAITOR.
You sir, are a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT.
John, I posted this right after your book came out and thought you might enjoy it:
The Swifties have earned the right to be heard. Any columnist who complains that this is a smear campaign or denies the Vets, their First Amendment Right should be called on it. How ironic that the Press tries to say who has the Constitutional Right to speak?? That is the beauty of this country, everybody has the right to be heard and let the chips fall where they may. Unfortunately the First Amendment has been undermined by the now crumbling Mainstream Monopoly.
Anyone who has fought and bled for America’s Freedom has a special right to speak and be heard. I did not serve, so I am grateful for each and every man who gave me the right to speak. If everyone is able to express his own Truth, than the actual Truth will find a way to seek it’s light. Do I know if the Swifties are telling the Truth or Yaaawn is telling it in country? No, but they know which ones are lying. Let them actually debate it because it is critical that this truth comes out.
Yaaaaawn Tax & Kerry came back as an eye witness to atrocities committed by American Troops in Viet Nam. Many of us at that age believed him and believed that our Government was fighting an unjust war while torturing the innocents of Viet Nam. When Kerry spoke in front of the Congress and said he saw people dismembered, we assumed he was not lying. When he said and wrote he was in Cambodia on Christmas Eve, we knew that had to be true, but was it??
He has admitted that the Cambodia story was a lie. How in the world can you be 15,000 miles away from home on Christmas Eve and not know exactly where you were?? He was on the river a total of 4 months and one of those 120 days was Christmas Eve. In 1968 was there a bigger day of the year than Christmas Eve and you were a scared and lonely boy in a war and now you say your “seared” memory of was not sure where you were?? The breadth of this lie cannot be measured!!!
The bigger fraud the Swifties have exposed once again, is that we have lost an objective press that is searching for the Truth. In actuality polls have shown that 95% of the press is going to vote/campaign for Kerry. These are very active participants in the electoral process and are working to get their nominee elected. The Swifties have shown that they will censor anything critical of Kerry no matter how well researched or numbers of eyewitnesses to these charges.
Compare this group to the ridiculous charges made by Wilson, Moore or the AWOL & Abu Grab fabrications. Every one of these unfounded attacks were given unlimited air and print in hopes of helping Kerry. Every one of these charges of the Presidents’ lies have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be lies. None of these liars have subsequently been called out as liars themselves. Why, because the Stone-age Press has a dog in this hunt and need to get their power back. The complete irony is that when they show their obvious hand, like with the Swifties it just reaffirms their complete lack of credibility, which is in the end is their reason for existing.
The crumbling of the Mainstream Monopoly continues and after this election Humpty Dumbie will never be put together again, thankfully. The new press is getting the message out and is exactly where the Swifties are motoring. Their story is cruising down the Mekong Delta of ideas and truth and past the razor wire of PravdABDNC. They are being examined for their trustworthiness and so far they are untouched. They have proved that Kerry is capable of lying about entering Cambodia in the most egregious way. In a time of War, then and now; speaking the Truth is all that matters. This little Navy has torpedoed not only the Kerry’s Lies, but a sinking Corrupted Monopoly to boot.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Words can not express my gratitude to you and all the vets. Well done!!!
I don't know how many of these men (or even if any) are members here at Free Republic, but I, for one, believe we would be enriched by anything they might have to say. I hope we will be able to welcome some "Swift Boat Newbies" very soon.
All Freepers in Canada salute you, sir!
Mr. O'Neill has my undying respect, both for what he did in decades past and for what he has done recently. It takes a lot to step out into the light of controversy. He faced verbal abuse with dignity. He is a gentleman of principle. He honors us.
Thank you and all the Swift Boat Vets who once again provided a crucial service to our country. God bless you and keep you all.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
He took a huge hit to the body and got up to fight a 12 round heavyweight match to completion.
I am very glad to have seen you and your bros give John Kerry the payback he deserved. The fact that the stakes were so high, and that America benefits from your success is all so much gravy.
To John O'Neill,
God Bless you and all the Swifties and POW's.
Yeah. He can kick ar$e and take names. He really held his own
with some of these elite media types on a number of occasions!
God Bless John O'Neill and the Swiftees! :)
The SwiftVets are the awesome ones!!!!!
