NEVER FORGET
Thanks for your update of your activites, RONNIE. I've been away for about 4 days...seems like an eternity.
I want to go to the site too and post.Thank you so much.
I heard you on JW last night. Yes, I remember hearing about your visit to the Washington dinner to honor the late hero Rick Rescorla.
I was kicked out of a coffee shop this afternoon for questioning some anti-american "art" displayed in view. The "art" in question displayed two t-shirts with such statements saying "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, what is that all about? What the f*** is that? What's with all this 'The American Dream'? What the f**** is that? F**** that!" Ironically to say, there was some flyer posted below the t-shirts stating "think diversity".
And it just went on and on. Anyways, when I politely questioned the attendant behind the counter, he got very defensive with me and started to question my political standing. When he asked what my thoughts were about this "art", I told him I thought it looked like shit and that it was defamatory and seditious against those serving to protect this country of ours. He threw me out automatically. I, of course, left with good grace and called up the Welch Report on AM 830 KPLS with Kevin Shannon later that Sunday and revealed this to his guest speaker who happen to be an expert on "diversity" issues.
I must say, my friend, that not only has the war come home but we must fight this battle as we have those in our society, who are doing everything possible in the dark to destroy this country while the real heros are out there fighting this evil battle.
Can one imagine their children walking into a place like that and upon surveying the environment questioning mom and dad what the four letter word in question means?
I'd love to post at your We were soldiers once forum, but can't remember my password! augh!
