Mornings at the Pentagon

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

By JOSEPH L. GALLOWAY McClatchy Newspapers

Over the last 12 months, 1,042 soldiers, Marines, sailors and Air Force personnel have given their lives in the terrible duty that is war. Thousands more have come home on stretchers, horribly wounded and facing months or years in military hospitals.

This week, I’m turning my space over to a good friend and former roommate, Army Lt. Col. Robert Bateman, who recently completed a year long tour of duty in Iraq and is now back at the Pentagon.

Here’s Lt. Col. Bateman’s account of a little-known ceremony that fills the halls of the Army corridor of the Pentagon with cheers, applause and many tears every Friday morning. It first appeared on May 17 on the Weblog of media critic and pundit Eric Alterman at the Media Matters for America Website.

“It is 110 yards from the “E” ring to the “A” ring of the Pentagon. This section of the Pentagon is newly renovated; the floors shine, the hallway is broad, and the lighting is bright. At this instant the entire length of the corridor is packed with officers, a few sergeants and some civilians, all crammed tightly three and four deep against the walls. There are thousands here.

1/2 Boy 1/2 Man

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father’s, but he has never collected unemployment either.

He’s a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursue some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that either broke up with him when he left, or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and a 155mm howitzer.

He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because (more…)

The Tyranny of the Progressive Movement

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

By William J. Dell – 23 June 2010

J. Reuben Clark, Jr. Was a distinguished Jurist and Constitutionalist. He served as a Solicitor for the Department of State, as an Under Secretary of State, and as Ambassador to Mexico. The following is a quote of his that ALL freedom-loving Americans should take to heart. How aptly he described the Progressive Movement and its efforts to destroy our Divinely inspired Constitution during the past 100 years.

Tyranny has never come to live with any people with a placard on his breast bearing his name. He always comes in deep disguise, sometimes proclaiming an endowment of freedom, sometimes promising help to the unfortunate and downtrodden, not by creating something for those who do not have, but by robbing those who have. But Tyranny is always a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and he always ends by devouring the whole flock, saving none. [J. Rueben Clark, Jr., “Inroads upon the Constitution by the Roman Law”]

During the past 100 years the proponents of the Progressive Movement, in both parties, have truly been ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’ as they have (more…)

LETTER FROM A RETIRED BORDER PATROL AGENT:

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

This letter was sent to Tennessee Senator Bill Frist from a retired border patrol agent, and it has more common sense than all the bull being spewed from the Senate, with the exception of a few sensible representatives.

Dear Senator Frist:

There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about illegal aliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran aliens.

#1. Illegal aliens generally do NOT want US citizenship. Americans are very vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a US citizen. Mexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home countries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United States such as employment, medical care, instate tuition, government subsidized housing and free education for their offspring. Their main attraction is employment (more…)

Islam our Enemy ??

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book:
Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.

Here’s how it works: (more…)

HISPANIC LEADERS SPEAK OUT

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets; “Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die . . Through love of having children, we are going to take over.

Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council. “They’re afraid we’re going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They’re right. We will take them over . . . We are here to stay.”

A Message from the Arizona Tourism Bureau

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

By Joseph Farah

Well, that’s not quite right. This isn’t really a message from the Arizona tourism bureau. But if no one else is going to stand up for Arizona, I sure will. Not only am I not participating in the boycott of the state over its common-sense stand on the illegal-alien invasion, I am actively promoting tourism there. I find myself looking for a reason to visit the fair state – support it, praise the people of Arizona for standing up and acting courageously, doing something that will not only benefit Arizonans but all Americans as well. We should all have such state leadership in this country. What exactly is it that has Barack Obama and (more…)

IACOCCA SPEAKS OUT ON OBAMA

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Just as true today as it was when his book first came out. He was, and still is, a brilliant businessman! Often we need to be reminded of Iococca’s words.

Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He’s now 82 years old and has a new book, ‘Where Have All The Leaders Gone?’.

Lee Iacocca Says:

‘Am I the only guy in this country who’s fed up with what’s happening? Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming (more…)

A MEMORY FOR FLAG DAY

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

By William J. Dell, USN (Retired)

In 1979, my daughter, Kirsten, came home from school and reported the disrespect her schoolmates were displaying during the Pledge of Allegiance. I was greatly disturbed and wrote the following letter.

To Mrs. HANNIBAL’S Home Room Class:

Hey there — YOU — young man, young woman, do you really understand what I am? You know I have lived a good long time, and over the years I have seen many young men and young women like you. I have always been proud of the youth of America — my America. From my vantage point, I have observed your struggle to learn. I have seen your mistakes and failures, but more than this I have seen you press on and to succeed.

You, youth of America, are my greatest hope. It is true that I have a great heritage, but you must never forget that your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents gave you and me that heritage by their constant vigilance. What are you doing with it? Millions of people, all around the world, would like to have what they gave to you, and if you ever lose your FREEDOM, you, will know why.

FREEDOM and LIBERTY are so very precious that many have died that you might enjoy them. I remember well the first ones – for I was there – over two hundred years ago. Then in the darkest days of my past, when father fought against son and brother against brother, I felt that I might be torn apart, but I came out of that time stronger and better. Then in two great wars, as I looked on, many of your grandfathers gave their all, their very lives, that you might have these precious gifts. Recently, I have seen some of your own fathers fight for this FREEDOM and LIBERTY and some of them even gave their lives. In many places around the world, they sleep and to you they have passed the standard of FREEDOM and LIBERTY. To you, youth of America, they have entrusted my care.

Will you reverence and respect me as they did? Or does it no longer matter? Be ever mindful that I will be the first to know for I will observe your actions from my vantage point – and I will know because I am – your flag – the symbol of “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

I implore you, youth of America, to never forget what I am — a symbol of FREEDOM and LIBERTY. Use me as a constant reminder that FREEDOM and LIBERTY are very fragile and may be lost without constant vigilance. Then grant me the reverence and respect that your ancestors gave to me and let your hearts also swell with pride whenever you see me. If you do this, I promise I will continue to wave “o’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave,” and I will remember that I am -
