MONUMENTS FOR HEROS AND THE WORLD TRADE CENTER MOSQUE

In World Trade Center Mosque on August 14, 2010 at 4:34 pm

Hitler tried to destroy Europe in WWII, he would have succeeded if it were not for the abilities of the United States and it’s allies. Japan and their Imperial Army suffered the same fate at the hands of free nations led by the US. Throughout history there have been wars and conquests at the hands of tyrants trying to control others with their twisted ideologies. Some successful, others not. Apparently the human race will never learn to live peacefully with one another without someone feeling superior and trying to take control. A sad reflection of humankind.

During the Cold War, the Mighty Soviet Empire cast it’s long shadow over the world and once again the United States stood up to the challenge and the USSR was defeated. Tyranny doesn’t seem to last too long before people get tired of oppression and rise to the cause of bringing it down. Tyrants usually die at the hands of those that they practice their tyranny on. Yet, the tyrants of this world never seem to be in short supply. Why is that. The answer is simple. People as a whole tend to forget the past. They forget what history has taught them. They put all of the ugliness away in search of that perfect day. I wonder if those who died at the hands of tyrants ever rest? Do you think they lie in peace? I think not.

The souls of the dead never rest, they serve as constant reminders to all who live, freedom is never to be taken for granted. Peace can only be achieved by those willing to sacrifice. Our gallant soldiers who died in the name of freedom knock at your door trying to tell you; “Do you remember me? I died for you and your family so that you may sleep peacefully this night!” So many heroes, so soon forgotten, that we have to build monuments to remember who they were. Here are a few.

Now in the great city of New York, on the site of one of the most cowardly, treacherous attacks ever committed against this nation. Where 3000 American citizens died at the hands our enemy, many whose bodies were never found due to the complete devastation, a literal tomb for those in the building at the time and the heroes who tried in vain to save them. A group of Muslim’s led by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, want to erect a Mosque on that hallowed ground. A sign of victory for Islam. A monument to the 19 hijackers who died as heroes to the Muslim world by killing American citizens on American ground.

President Barrack Hussein Obama, has now come out in favor of this act of treachery. Who is leading our country?
Audacity of Hope, by Barrack Hussein Obama page 261, “Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” In other words; “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction,” says Obama”.

If a monument is to be built on that site it should be reserved to those who paid the ultimate price for freedom on that fateful day. Those innocents killed and the first responders who died trying to save them. On that day Americans came together as a nation and put aside race, gender, religious and political views and for the first time since WWII we were a nation united by a treacherous act. Now we are divided as never before by this administration and it’s policies. ENOUGH!

What does it take to destroy a nation? Hitler could not do it, the USSR could not do it. Barrack Hussein Obama, our 44th president, may very well be the one, who single handedly brings this great nation to it’s knees in front of the world. He has taken over; Wall Street, the banks, the auto industry, our medical system and our education system via student loans. He has driven us to the point of financial ruin with TARP, bail-outs and failed stimulus. Unemployment is the new norm. Our economy is on the verge of ruin. We are at the edge of the precipice.

Those who have died for LIBERTY and FREEDOM for this great nation are knocking once again at your door. If the last bastion of freedom on this planet falls at the hands of tyrants, what will you tell them? What will you say to them when you meet them in eternity?

Obama Disses Veterans On Memorial Day

In Memorial Day on May 29, 2010 at 1:35 am

I can promise you one thing, If George W. Bush decided to skip the traditional laying on of the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, the aftershock from the mainstream news media would have been heard around the world several times over.

Obama’s title is; Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces. The soldiers interred at Arlington have paid the ultimate price for their beloved country and unlike their leader, who apparently has little or no respect for the members of the Armed Forces, living or fallen; have no choice but to lie in wait for whoever decides to show up from the White House. Apparently it will be Joe Biden. Meanwhile the Commander-in-Chief needs to do something a little bit more important, like take a vacation in Chicago with his family.

This man is utterly contemptible. Our fallen heroes who died in service of their country being dissed by PBO. What will this man do next to raise the ire of the American people? Where is his leadership, accountability and responsibility? After this slap in the face to the fallen and his total disregard for tradition, it would not be appropriate for him to ever step foot in that hallowed place again in my opinion and I am sure in the opinion of a few Veterans.

Because of our Veterans dedication to maintaining freedom and liberty in the face of tyranny, this President had the opportunity to become the freely elected leader of this great country. The first African-American to ever have the honor to attain the office of President, by a free democratic election in the United States Of America. One would think that he would aspire to leave a legacy of honor and dignity for the history books. Instead, his legacy will be one of dirty back-room deals, bribery and payoffs in exchange for burdensome, bank busting and unwanted legislature, takeovers of public business and an unprecedented expansion of government that digs deeper into the private lives of American citizens more than any administration on record.

Now on a National Day of Remembering our fallen soldiers, he cannot find the time to even bother to show up. We remember a Presidential candidate who would not hold his hand to his heart, when the national anthem was played at a political rally. Even Hillary Clinton showed her respect at the very same event, but not Obama. It makes one wonder where his loyalty is really at.

The recent scandal of a bribery attempt of Congressman Sestak, to not run against Arlen Specter in return for the offer of a high-ranking government office, rumored to have been the Secretary of the Navy, shows what sort of politics that this player resorts to. Thuggery and contempt for all things American are the rule of the day in this White House.

I am not capable of seeing into the future, but I would be willing to bet the whole enchilada, that in November, the American people will rise up against everything that this administration stands for and vote the members of congress who worked with this president, to change the basic structure of democracy in our great country; out of their precious seats of power. Currently there are many members of congress, who are resigning their seats rather than face the embarrassment of being tossed out on their backsides by an angry public. I wonder now, how many voters have “buyers remorse” over their selection of a radical socialist and anti-American candidate, who now holds one of the most powerful offices in the world.

What is even more infuriating, than all of that is the total lack of news coverage by the mainstream media. As I said previously, George W. Bush would have been tarred and feathered by them, for even less than that. It is funny how quiet they are about all that is going on lately, the floods in Tennessee and this administrations lack of action there, the oils spill in the gulf, the tensions in the two Korea’s, the Sestak bungle and now dis-honoring our fallen heroes at Arlington.

What will it take for the mainstream news media to grow backbones and loose the yellow stripes down their backs and finally face up to what they themselves helped accomplish in the last election? They helped put this man into office by their slanted views of the candidates and their constant trashing of the Bush administration’s policies. Where is their dignity? The American public is fed up with business as usual in DC and no one is listening.
