USO Canteen FReeper Style ~ New Canteen Mission Statement ~ January 21 2003

Due to an ever changing world it is time to clarify and re-define the Canteen Mission Statement.
When the Canteen first opened on Oct 7 2001 it was in response to the tragic events of 9/11.
It also opened the first day of the war on terror.
At that time there was overwhelming support for the war effort and the military.
Now that we are on the verge of a new phase of the war on terror
there exists an enemy within that has surfaced again.
All one has to do is read or watch the news to see
the anti-American protests start again, just like in the 60's.
It is up to each one of us to counter this movement.
There are many FReepers who can and do attend the counter FReeps.

Join Operation Infinite FReep!

For those who cannot attend these FReeps there are many things we can do to support our military.

Henceforth the Canteen Mission Statement is:

Showing support AND boosting the morale
of our military and our allies military
AND the family members of the above.
AND Honoring those who have served before.

So if you see a thread, a post, have an idea etc
that aligns with the Canteen Mission please link it or post it on the daily thread.
If you are a participant in an Operation Infinite FReep please post your notices or reports here.

Know that daily active duty military and their family members come here.
Show them that WE do care and DO stand behind them and their efforts to protect our Freedom.

Hey Tonk! I got this from a thread I spoke about earlier today with an article by David Horowitz. It seems like great ammunition to debunk the so-called "Peace Movement"

THE PEACE MOVEMENT ISNT ABOUT PEACE

It’s about carrying on the left’s war against America. When your country is attacked, when the enemy has targeted every American regardless of race, gender or age for death, there can be no "peace" movement. There can only be a movement that divides Americans and gives aid and comfort to our enemies.

In his speech to Congress after 9/11, the President said: "We have seen their kind before. They are the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th Century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism."

The so-called "peace movement" today is led by the same hate-America radicals who supported America’s totalitarian enemies during the Cold War. They marched in support of the Vietcong, the Sandinista Marxists and the Communist guerrillas in El Salvador. Before that they marched in behalf of Stalin and Mao. They still support Castro and the nuclear lunatic in North Korea, Kim Jong-Il. They are the friends in deed of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.

What prompts American radicals to make common cause with such monsters? The answer is obvious: They share a common view of America as the "Great Satan." They believe that it is America – not tyrants like Saddam Hussein – that inflicts misery and suffering on the world. The targets of the 9/11 terrorists were Wall Street and the Pentagon. These were the targets of American radicals long before.

In the perverse minds of the so-called "peace" radicals, America is the "root cause" of all the root causes that inspire the terrorists to attack us. "America is to blame for what is wrong in the world. The enemy is us."

Today, as we battle the Axis of Evil which threatens us with weapons of mass destruction, these familiar mantras are rising on college campuses from coast to coast. Just as they did in the Cold War past.

During the Cold War, the radical "peace" movement bullied right-thinking Americans into silence. Our government lost the ability to stay the course in the anti-Communist war. The result was the Communist slaughter of two-and-a-half million peasants in Indo-China after the divisions at home forced America to leave.

Once again, the hate America left is attempting to silence right-thinking citizens. It is attempting to divide the home front in the face of the enemy. Even as we go to war. It is stabbing our young men and women in the back even as they step into harm’s way to defend us. It is attempting to paralyze our government again and prevent it from securing the peace.

We can’t afford to let this happen. The time has come for those who love freedom and who appreciate the great bounties of this nation to stand up and be counted.

I was quite taken with comments by MHGinTN in his post 10, to which I replied in post 11:

To: Eva Ah, but the 'peace' movement is but one tu d in the democrat pile. The democrat party wants very much for the efforts to disarmand depose Saddam to fail with heavy U.S. casualties for that would insure democrat victories at the 2004 polls ... they think! The Daschles, Boxers, Murrays, Kennedys, Harkins, Gephardts, Leahys, Kerrys, Edwards', and clintons of our government are more than willing to sacrifice American lives for their political empowerment.

Just look at the number of late term abortions these ghouls have protected, to see the truth of them. The current obstructionism and postment efforts are grossly dangerous for we the people. Let's pray this leads us to vote the corrosive bastards out in 2004.
