Iraq troop morale high despite MSM

So yes, for whatever reasons, a lot of people back home may be demoralized about this war.  But the vast majority of the troops who are fighting it aren’t.

From a Chaplain in Iraq

Our National Anthem in Iraq
I recently attended a showing of “Superman 3,” here at LSA Anaconda.  We have a large auditorium we use for movies, as well as memorial services and other large gatherings.  As is the custom back in the States, we stood and snapped to attention when the National Anthem began before the main feature.All was going as planned until about three-quarters of the way through The National Anthem ,the music stopped.  Now, what would happen if this occurred with 1,000 18-22 year-olds back in the States?  I imagine there would be hoots, catcalls, laughter, a few rude comments; and everyone would sit down and call for a movie.

Of course, that is, if they had stood for the National Anthem in the first place.

Here, the 1,000 Soldiers continued to stand at attention, eyes fixed forward.  The music started again.  The Soldiers continued to quietly stand at attention.  And again, at the same point, the music stopped.

What would you expect to happen?  Even here I would imagine laughter, as everyone finally sat down and expected the movie to start.

But here, you could have heard a pin drop.  Every Soldier continued to stand at attention.  Suddenly there was a lone voice.  Then a dozen, and quickly the room was filled with the voices of a thousand soldiers, finishing where the recording left off:

“And the rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner
yet wave, O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?”

It was the most inspiring moment I have had here in Iraq.  I wanted you to know what kind of Soldiers are serving you here.

Remember them as they fight for you!  Pass this along as a reminder to others to be ever in prayer for all our soldiers serving us here at home and abroad.. For many have already paid the ultimate price……

Written by Chaplain Jim Higgins on 5/14/07.  LSA Anaconda is at the “Balad Verdana” Airport in Iraq, north of Baghdad.

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS !!

WAR SUCKS!

AYERS IS TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN

The life cycle of the Parasitoid wasp

By Allan Erickson

10.8.08

 

“Teach your children well, Their father’s hell, Did slowly go by, And feed them on your dreams, The one they picks, The one you’ll know by.

Don’t you ever ask them why, If they told you, you would die, So just look at them and sigh, And know they love you.”

 

“Teach Your Children,”  by Graham Nash  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkp8NE-NPAk, released 1970, Jerry Garcia on steel guitar.

 

Bill Ayers takes things very seriously.  He has walked the walk for 40 years.  For many years, as a “professor of education” he has trained teachers to teach your children, very well: the dream feeder.

 

“As Ayers puts it in one of his course descriptions, prospective K–12 teachers need to ‘be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and . . . be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, a teacher teaching for social justice and liberation.’   One of Ayers’s major themes is that the American public school system is nothing but a reflection of capitalist hegemony. Thus, the mission of all progressive teachers is to take back the classrooms and turn them into laboratories of revolutionary change.“

 

[Yeah, man, screw that whole readin', writtin', rithmetic' jive baby.]

 

http://sigmundcarlandalfred.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/what-obama-neglected-to-mention-bill-ayers-is-now-teaching-your-children/

 

Can’t you hear Bill and his friends passing the bong around and snickering, “We took the pigs’ money and used it against them to recruit their own children to destroy the system from within man!  HA!  Now that’s what I call da bomb baby!  Better than the exploding kind man! Dig it!  Far F**kin’ Out man.”

 

For years, Ayers and Co. have worked through the “system” in Chicago, and indeed nationally, sowing the seeds of revolution in young hearts and minds, using the public education system, private donations, and tax dollars, to achieve their ends.

 

Obama helped them, working at the Annenberg foundation, at ACORN, and, he is working today, through Public Allies, just like the Parasitoid wasp. 

 

Perhaps Ayers and Obama learned from nature.

 

“Certain types of plants have compounds that work in part with the saliva of caterpillars. When the saliva of the caterpillar and the juices of the plant mix, a fragrance is emitted that certain parasitoid wasps are very attracted to.  The parasitoid wasp . . . kills the caterpillars and uses the carcass to lay eggs within. This is a form of mutualism between the plant and the wasp and works only when the fragrance from the plant and the saliva combine.” 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_wasp

 

Ayers fed the caterpillar (public education) with a certain plant (Annenberg Foundation $110M), creating jobs for the wasps (Ayers & Obama), then the wasps killed the caterpillar, and laid their eggs.

 

The eggs have been hatching for many years. The offspring may very well put Obama in the White House.

 

NOTES:

 

(Bill Ayers: Secretary of Education?)

 

“We face a full scale attack on the very idea of public education,” Bill Ayers.  (That means you homeschoolers and Christian schools.)  “The idea of the ‘public’ is under assault.  All the effects of imperial culture . . . so . . . here comes No Child Left Behind, a lovely mask over a vicious policy.“

 

http://www.floppingaces.net/2008/10/06/obama-ayers-education-activism-for-social-injustice/

 

“A few minutes into this video, and that dangerous homogeneous mediocrity finds its roots. Ayers pays homage to Rosa Luxemburg – co-founder of the Communist Party of Germany in 1919.”

Ayers & Dohrn: 3 dead, 9 orphaned, 1000s mangled

BY SALLY V. IN ALABAMA   

10.8.08

In Dick Morris’s column today about Obama-Ayers, he neglected to mention one dead body plus a few other important details. There is only so much room in one column and Morris, obviously, was making a bigger point. But just for drill, let’s take the crime Morris mentioned in passing and find out a little more. It’ll give you some idea how much the American press has studiously ignored, how malevolent Barack Obama’s friends really are, and why Obama is so deeply terrified the public may learn more about his long association with William [Bill] Ayers.Morris writes:

Barack Obama should have run screaming at the sight of William Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol building and the Pentagon, and his wife was sent to prison for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink’s armored car in which two police officers were killed.

 

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/10/the_obamaayers_connection.html

 

 

But there is quite a bit more to this crime. John Kass of the Chicago Tribune wrote about it in a piece titled “Broadway Baby” back in April of this year. Brenda Kilianski, also of the Chicago Trib, has written beautifully and at length about it. Here is my short version of some key details Morris left out:

 

To begin with, Morris refers to a 1981 Brinks robbery in Rockland County, New York.

 

The crime was a joint operation of The Weather Underground and The Black Liberation Army (nice bit of ebony & ivory terrorist teamwork there).

 

The robbery went sideways and three people were killed — two police officers and one security guard. Just out of common courtesy to the nine children orphaned as a result, let’s give the dead bodies names:

 

Peter Paige (security guard)

Edward O’Grady (Nyack police officer)

Waverly Brown (Nyack’s first black police officer)

 

Another chilling part of the story leaves no doubt that the female half of Ayers & Dohrn is equally sociopathic, radical, and committed to “the cause” as is her miscreant husband.

 

Bernardine Dohrn’s role in the 1981 Brinks robbery involved stealing the identities of two customers who shopped in the New York store Dohrn managed at the time — a store named Broadway Baby. The stolen identities were used by Ayers & Dohrn’s terrorist friends to secure rental vehicles used to commit the Brinks crime. Investigators knew Dohrn stole the I.D.s but apparently could not prove it to a sufficient degree.

 

Dohrn refused to cooperate and was sent to prison for 7 months on obstruction, in an attempt to make her talk. She never did. Tough gal. Another part of the story is fascinating in a bizarre Bonnie & Clyde sort of way. And to me it perfectly illustrates the malevolent, extended influence of William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn. Talk about sins of the parents.

 

As I mentioned, two of the terrorists convicted in the 1981 Brinks crime were close friends of Ayers & Dohrn. Their names are Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert. (Gilbert is serving 75 to life; Boudin was paroled in 2003.) This couple had a baby son named Chesa Boudin. When Chesa’s parents were convicted, Ayers & Dohrn adopted Chesa out of the goodness of their black hearts, to ensure that the boy would have a properly radical upbringing. And boy, did they succeed.

 

Today Chesa is about 28 years old and he’s a chip off the old block — of [four] sociopathic radical parents that is, two biological and two adoptive. Oh and Grandpa Boudin was also quite a character — a secret Communist Party strategist who masqueraded as a civil rights lawyer and who was a go-to guy for the old Soviet Union and Cuba, among other hostile nations.

 

Naturally, with a pedigree like this, Chesa obtained a Rhodes scholarship. He seems fixated on Bolivia and Venezuela and in 2005 Chesa “worked as an intern on President [Hugo] Chávez’s foreign policy team, doing research for a master’s degree in Latin American public policy at Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship.”

 

Chesa co-authored a book about the Venezuelan revolution in 2006. You’ll be shocked to learn it takes an extremely leftist, anti-Bush, anti-American point of view.

 

Here’s a fairly recent photo of Chesa:

 

http://tinyurl.com/695yvq

 

You might wonder how Chesa feels about his four parents and whether he harbors any animosity or doubts about their deeds and beliefs. Not to worry. Chesa managed to soar above all the family baggage and stake out a completely independent world view. As quoted in Salon in 2001 Chesa said:

 

“We have a different name for the war we’re fighting now—now we call it the war on terrorism, then they called it the war on communism. My parents were all dedicated to fighting U.S. imperialism around the world. I’m dedicated to the same thing.”

 

And this from a NY Times article:

 

Chesa refuses to apologize for the tactics of the Weather Underground. “The historical moment we find ourselves in determines what is most appropriate for social change…I’m sad that my parents [his biological parents, Boudin and Gilbert] have to suffer what they have to suffer on a daily basis, that millions of other people have to suffer as well.”

 

By now the destructive legacy of William Ayers should be dawning on you. Chesa is only one example. But how many hundreds of thousands of other kids have been indoctrinated with the same insidious ideas and attitudes? Ayers is a teacher of teachers. Ayers was, is, and always will be dedicated to spreading his poisonous ideology of “social justice” and other Marxist and marxist-lite ideas to successive generations of Americans, through public education.

 

And Ayers is the man who handpicked Barack Obama to help him distribute $50 million, then another $60 million to fund this exact type of brainwashing. How much more will the dynamic duo of Billy & Barack be able to accomplish from the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with the willing assistance of a radical leftist-dominated congress?

 

There is yet more but I’m out of time and energy. All of the info above was gleaned from the following articles, in no particular order:

Alleging fraud, authorities raid voter group

ACORN’s canvassers filled out forms with fake names, addresses, officials say

 

By ADRIENNE PACKER and MOLLY BALL

Authorities on Tuesday morning raid the offices of ACORN, a voter registration organization, and seize registration forms and computer databases. State authorities on Tuesday raided an organization that registers low-income people to vote, alleging that its canvassers falsified forms with bogus names, fake addresses or famous personalities.

 

[Obama did extensive work for ACORN in the past.]

When we honored God, he blessed us with freedom, giving us rights to life, liberty, happiness.

 

 

When we dishonor God by honoring government as the exclusive means of achieving ”collective salvation,” as Obama insists, we forfeit freedom, lose our lives and diminish any chance for happiness.

 

 

Have we learned nothing from history?

 

We are in this mess because goverment intervened, ran up debt, encouraged bad financial practices, promoted social engineering with your money, repudiating tried and tested ways of proceeding in healthy and productive ways.

 

 

And today, Obama is on the stump telling crowds the government should do more to “provide immediate relief for every American family,” i.e., more handouts, more bailouts, more debt, more rack and ruin.

 

Remember Esau?  He sold his birthright for a bowl of stew.  This is what is happening today.  Americans are selling their freedom birthright for a bowl of Obama stew.

Obama money from abroad could total $3.3 million (AP)

WASHINGTON (AP) – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has raised about $3.3 million from contributors who did not list a home state or who designated their state with an abbreviation that did not match one of the 50 states or U.S. territories, according to records provided by the Federal Election Commission. The Republican National Committee filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Monday asking for an investigation of Obama’s foreign contributions, among other things.

BHO: Bucks & Ballots Make Change, Change, Change

By Allan Erickson      10.8.08

 

One guy:  “Man, this guy makes Slick Willie look like a cub scout.”

Other guy:  “Yeah, you gotta give him credit, though.  He sure knows how to organize.”

 

Barack Obama says he has lived the American dream, that nowhere else on earth could a man like him from humble beginnings rise so far so fast.   Ours is the greatest country on earth, he says, and he loves our country.   What a wonderful country.

 

‘Now let’s change everything.’

 

What’s that?

 

Change is BHO’s specialty.

 

He changed from high school (where he learned America is racist, sexist, warlike and exploitive) to Occidental College, to Columbia University, and then to Harvard Law School.   Reportedly, much of his schooling involved learning to embrace the ‘reality’ that America is racist, sexist, jingoistic, and exploitive.  From law school he changed into a community organizer and learned more about rotten America from disciples of Marxist Saul Alinsky, and from Bill Ayers, mastermind of domestic terrorism in the 60s.

 

Again, he changed and while being groomed for politics he lectured law and married another community organizer, both agreeing America is racist, sexist, jingoistic, and exploitive.   They started a family, and a non-profit activist outfit named Public Allies, an organization committed to teaching young people that America is racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic and exploitive.  He changed again, and expanded his range, working for ACORN, another organization devoted to spreading the gospel that America is the problem.  Along that same line he and Ayers sought change.  They managed a $100M war chest in Chicago to radicalize public schools there, teaching children America is the problem: sexist, racist, homophobic, jingoistic, exploitive.

 

BHO changed.  He became a state senator voting “present” 130 times.  Ran for U.S. Senate.  After 143 days on the job, after promising to complete his term, he started a run for the presidency, promising change, offering hope.  The agenda appears to be: ‘We must take the most successful democratic republic ever known, and change it from top down, because it is racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic, and exploitive.  We are going to do this by destroying capitalism, submitting to the U.N., removing God from the picture, and replacing him with the benevolence of federal domination.’

 

Working hard toward realizing those hopeful dreams to change America, BHO has campaigned for what, 21 months, day and night crisscrossing the nation, and Europe, spreading the message, and changing the message, innumerable times.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKF0VVnKmHQ

 

BHO has changed.  Where once he talked across the board tax increases and increases in government spending, today he sounds like Reagan.  At one time he talked about taking a defensive posture in the face of terrorism, and cutting defense.  Now, he tries to sound like Reagan.   At one time he promoted radicalism and gay rights and abortion, now he sounds like a traditionalist, at least in a watered down way. Not long ago he told us we had to leave our religion and our guns and embrace universalism, depending on government for our collective salvation.  Now he sounds like John Wayne riding off to Pakistan to shoot bin Laden with a .30/.30.

 

And the people are buying this Blue State Special, apparently unaware the culture war is in reality a war for the soul of America, yes, a religious war—-socialist humanism versus Judeo-Christian capitalism. 

 

Well, ok.  The voters decide.  Fair elections determine our fate.  So be it. 

 

Only problem is, are we talkin’ fair election?

 

For months the reports have come in about voter fraud (see stories below). 

 

For weeks, the reports have surfaced concerning foreign money flowing into the Obama campaign.  An FEC official is calling for an investigation into $200M allegedly coming from foreign powers.  $200M is 40% of the record breaking $500M Obama has raised, more than twice the amount of any candidate for president, ever, including Hillary Clinton.

What’s up?

 

Is the government looking into all this?  Somewhat.  Kind of a like Fannie Mae oversight: let ‘er rip until doomsday.  After all, the quest is to aid those victimized by racism, sexism, homophobia, jingoism and capitalism, so, hey, if we bend the rules a little here and there to level the playing field, that’s justice, right?

 

Is it fair to question Obama’s changes and his principles and his character and judgment and trustworthiness through all of this?  Of course it is.  But you see, if you do, you are an ignorant, anti-modern, racist, sexist, homophobic, jingoistic, capitalist dog, so just play along, if you know what is good for you. 

 

America is fading away.  “Turn and face the strange changes . . . ‘   America is fading away, and Americans are making it happen.  Looks like we are going to put a radical activist sympathetic to our enemies in charge of the U.S. military in a time of war.  Yup.  Huh?

 

Why don’t we just commit suicide and be done with it?

 

Ahmadinejad & The Boys don’t need nuclear weapons.  The Obama/Soros/ACORN/Alinsky/Ayers cabal is doing the heavy lifting for them.  Who knows?  Maybe a majority of Americans will wake up before the fox eats all the chickens, but it’s not looking too promising.  We need our rest you know.

“The FEC breakdown of the Obama campaign has identified a staggering $222.7 million as coming from contributions of $200 or less. Only $39.6 million of that amount comes from donors the Obama campaign has identified.  It is the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002.”

 

As the Obama campaign approaches a record-setting  $500m mark *, more than twice the amount of any other presidential candidate ever, reports indicate an unnamed Federal Election Commission auditor is calling for a formal investigation.
