Many years ago, there came a point in my life when I had to deal with the demons that came to me from time to time once and for all. They still appear from time to time but I know what to say to them now to dispense with their intent to destroy anything they are set out to destroy. And no, I am not talking about some grotesque monster or some sabre-toothed, four-eyed beast-man nor am I referring to some anti-angelic supernatural presence. I am talking about things that cannot be described unless someone has experienced the same events. I am referring to memories triggered by people, places and things beyond my control. I am talking about fighting the "what if" or the "if I had only done this differently" syndrome(s).

Those that have met me don't really know who I am but yet I sense that they sense things about me...kind of hard to explain that but there it is. Those that have read selected readings from my manuscript know a little bit more about me but have a stronger sense as to who I am. Those that have read my articles, pieces and blog posts might think they have an inside track as to a beginning of a glimpse into the Real Me.

Years ago, an individual that I respected very deeply asked me a question during a time of reckoning in my life. He asked, "What do you tell the demons when they come out at night?" The question floored me because at the time, we were doing the deal for God, Flag and Country. We were marking targets. We were observing enemy movements. We were plotting their very demise. My answer was, "I tell them to kiss my ass". We laughed and never spoke of it again. Until. There was nothing for us to fear really because after all, we owned the night. Demons? Screw them. Until.

A short time later, we watched a movie entitled "In The Line Of Fire". It had our hero Clint Eastwood in it so naturally it just had to be a good flick. Yes? Certainly. Until. Until "Frank" asked the "Bad Guy" a question: "What do you see in the dark when the demons come?" The answer? "I see you". We didn't remember much of the movie thereafter because we looked at each other in complete amazement and our world crumbled before us. The cat was out of the bag. One can only suppress so many things for a specific period of time until the bottom drops out from under you. No one knows when that will take place but take place it will.

The dialog just before that question and answer period is as follows: "They made you into a real monster didn't they?" "That's right. And now they want to destroy me because we can't have monsters running around the quiet countryside now can we?" (audio file here)

Does that give you chills? Does it? Does it not? I have seen this movie several times since and that particular part of the movie to this day sends chills up and down my spine because that movie started my "associate" and I on our long journey of recovery.

He has since passed on to the Soldier's Lair having died where he wanted to, on the beaches of Australia almost two years ago. I will miss him but, before he left for Australia, he asked me to promise that I will never give up the fight and I swore an Oath to him, knowing that I would never see him again on this planet, that I would Soldier On. We shook hands, hugged and saluted our last. And, I - Soldier On. Will you Soldier On? Will you Embrace The Suck?

I believe that I have more insight than most into that which we face in this nation at this current time in the cosmos. Barack Hussein Obama or, Czarbama as I have come to call him, is America's latest Demon. What will we say to our children and our children's children when they ask us, "Why did we sit idly by and allow this cretin to become president and destroy the last hope of freedom in the world?" As this country spirals down into some allusively morphed form of socio-communist-American liberal tyranny, what will you say to the demons as they come to you at night as you lay in bed kicking yourself in the ass for not standing up and fighting?

The time has come to choose sides. Will you be a part of the American Awakening or will you sit idly by and let others do the dirty work because it is too inconvenient to turn the TV off? In this era of the pollsters knowing absolutely nothing, will you sit idly by and allow the politicians under a Leftinistra veto-proof Congress with a Marxist Thug Demon as in Czarbama at the helm bring about forced servitude of those between the ages of 18 and 42? Is this your Grand Scheme? And, it is a Good Plan? Not hardly. We saw how well that worked in 2006, didn't we? Why are Conservatives so stupid at times anyway?

We all know why the Unions - read that Teamsters - all favor the Democrats, I mean Leftinistra, don't we? We do know that union wages are tied to minimum wage, don't we? We do know that union wages are set to be at times 6 times the minimum wage, don't we? Is it any wonder why the labor unions suck up to the socialists? Can you spell useful morons? With The American Demon Czarbama at the helm, he wants to get rid of Teamsters oversight. Is that a good thing? Why, no, it isn't. Perhaps Czarbama wants to create his Civilian National Security Force with the culling from the Teamsters. One never knows.

Rick Moran at Right Wing Nut House a few days ago placed an article up entitled, "TOP TEN THINGS THAT CREEP ME OUT ABOUT OBAMA". Whereas he has touched Spot On, I would like to add a few things to that list. Behold:

#11) Czarbama has stated publicly that he intends to create a Civilian National Security Force that is just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded as the United States Armed Forces.

#12) Czarbama has publicly confirmed that he intends to create a Civilian National Security Force that is just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded as the United States Armed Forces.

#13) Czarbama carries with him at all times his magic wand of indecisiveness, charlatanism and the ability to agree with every point of every issue from every side and has the uncanny ability to have everyone he speaks to think he is the Pied Piper.

#14) Czarbama has stated publicly that he will review and reverse everything that President Bush has done.

#15) Czarbama has publicly presented himself as the New Lenin and all one has to do to confirm that is to gaze upon his posters in Berlin and compare them to the posters from the age of Lenin.

#16) Czarbama doesn't chastise his followers for praising Che Guacamole.

#17) Czarbama associates himself with those that have financed our enemies to fight against us and to kill and wound our Troops in battle.

#18) Czarbama blames the United States for 91101 and he did that eight says after the infamous day when the dust and smoke hadn't even subsided yet.

#19) Czarbama denies that the Troop Surge was an ingenious plan and that it was successful.

#20) Czarbama wants to increase our taxes by $4,000 per household.

Is that enough yet? Not quite.

#21) Czarbama wants to add an additional $285 BILLION in taxes to finance the American Global War on Poverty.

#22) Czarbama wants to ratify L.O.S.T..

That is all for now. So, tell me again how he will be good for the nation in the long run. Czarbama wants to strip this nation of its sovereignty and surrender to our enemies. Some say that he will be a lame duck from his first day. Consider this.

Czarbama gets into the White House and along with him comes a veto-proof conglomerate and there will be nothing to stop him from reversing all of President Bush's accomplishments, both good and bad. There will be nothing to stop the Fairness Doctrine from becoming a reality. There will be nothing to stop him from raising taxes to the degree of which we have never seen. There will be nothing to stop him from creating his Civilian National Security Forces and there will be nothing to stop the Universal National Service Act. We will no longer have a voice to be heard. Conservative talk shows both professional and BTR will cease to exist. Conservative bloggers and Conservative outlets will vanish.

Czarbama mentioned at one time his presidency would be for 8 to 10 years. So much for the 22nd Amendment and kiss the United States Constitution goodbye because once we are turned over to the One World United Nations Consortium and World Court, the Conservative Voice is history. Remember the List of 45? Have you read it? Have you memorized it? Are you armed? Do you give a damn? If not, why then, did we fight for you? Do you give a damn? If not, why then, should we fight for you again?

I suggest that we all join up a swiftboat this presumptive First Czar of the United Socialist States of Amerika. This guy is a Gaffe-omatic second to none.

Most of us know beyond a shadow of a doubt that each term of the presidency is 4 years. We also know that if a sitting president is re-elected, his total term - barring removal via impeachment - will be 8 years. Apparently, Barack doesn't know that.

I ran across this post at STACLU and it only solidified my concerns over Obama's Civilian National Security Force. The guy speaks out of both sides of his butt cheeks and carries on as if he is an intelligent member of society. He may be a smart fellow but not only do I doubt his patriotism to THIS nation, I seriously call into question his viable intelligence. Someone is pulling his strings and he is one confused fellow - or, he is announcing to the world his ultimate intentions. Behold:

[...] Today on CBS's Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that "the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years." [...]

Eight to ten years, Barack? Where did that extra two years come from? One more thing, Barack. Why is it that you Democrats seem to think that you can violate the Logan Act at will? Oh. Wait. Don't answer that one. No one in DC has the cajones to enforce the law. What am I talking about? Glad you asked.

"And it's important for me to have a relationship with them early, that I start listening to them now, getting a sense of what their interests and concerns are."

AHEM! You are a United States Senator at the moment, Barack. You are not the president yet and you have no authority whatsoever to be making American Foreign Policy on a campaign/photo-op trip to anywhere, let alone the Middle East.

What if McCain or any other GOP type said such things? What would be the leading story in the lame Stream Media?

For an alleged constitutional scholar, Barack sure is an idiot.

As you all know, we here at ANO will not let this subject die off as the Obama Camp would like. We have been receiving comments here and there and posts have been made in rebuttal but have vanished before I could memorialize them via screen shots.

However, at The American Thinker, there are two articles, one written by Thomas Lifson on 17 JUL 08 entitled, Another inconvenient truth down the Obama Memory Hole and one written by Lee Cary on 20 JUL 08 entitled, Obama's Civilian National Security Force. Thomas Lifson expresses the same concerns that we do and a host of others and Lee Cary has the closest and most palatable "explaining away" scenario as to what Barack actually meant that I have seen to date.

I do have one correction, however. In the Thomas Lifson piece, he mentions that WND "broke the story" which is in error. I wish that I could say that ANO broke the story but, we did not. We are merely picking up the Guidon that was dropped and carrying on forward into battle. Actually, in our first post here, one will find the only two that I know of that spoke of this before we did. Our first post on this was 09 JUL 08 (I originally read the story at AARP forum on 07 JUL 08). Exurban League was the first followed by Little Green Footballs. The running list of others since are listed in previous posts, chronicled at the end of this post.

Regardless, the Lee Cary piece states that all Barack's verbiage is nothing to be concerned about in regards to the Obama Youth conundrum but the words he spoke are potentially ominous and will have far-reaching affects on the tax collections required to carry this out. That is all fine and dandy but his body language in the video says something else all together. Until Barack Hussein Obama comes forth and explains this out in the open and not through one of his campaign flunkies (spokesman) in his own non teleprompter mannerisms will I begin to not suspect his Marxist Ideologies shining through - on the cuff. In part:

[...] The entire plan is breathtaking in its scope. But it does not, as at least one internet writer has suggested, portend a "giant police force." It would be easier to rebut if it did. As it is, it's silly stuff born of naively fanciful dreams.

Senator Obama aims to tap into the already active volunteerism of millions of Americans and recruit them to become cogs in a gigantic government machine grinding out his social re-engineering agenda. It's Orwellian-like, with a novice social activist's mentality at the helm. ... [...]

To me, these two paragraphs contradict. It may be my imagination running away with myself but I don't think so. The "silly stuff born of naively fanciful dreams" in one paragraph followed by "It's Orwellian-like, with a novice social activist's mentality at the helm" statement is a portent in and of itself.

Either way, whether it be a Civilian National Security Force equipped, just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded as the United States Armed Forces or a gigantic play-pen for young people, the tax burden will be astronomical in scope. Both scenarios should be bringing down the roofs across America with a hearty "WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT NOW!" sentiment.

Again, when I listen to the audio clips and then view the video paying close attention to the body language, methinks he doesn't want a play-pen for young people. The man is a Marxist-Communist the likes Mark and Engles would be proud of, let alone Saul Alinsky. In the same topical paragraph in his speech, he talked about increasing military strength by nearly 92,000 Troops and creating an equally expansive Civilian Force.

Lee Cary wrote a great article but I'm not buying it. Not yet.

Our friend x_dhimmi (deb) made us a video of the section of the main video in question. Watch his body language. All through the nearly 25-minute video, this is the only time his tonal inflections rose to the peak in which it did as he leaned into the microphone when he berated the military like he did. Nope. Not buying the Lee Cary piece at all.

I found the video of this speech and I have captured the audio of the entire 26:44 speech given on 02 JUL 08 at Fort Carson, Colorado. I captured the audio because some of Barack's videos vanish if they become too controversial...like this one is going to be eventually. The You Tube is located here and it is too long to place in this blog space. Suffice it to say that one can spend hours and hours deciphering the coded messages therein.

When I captured the audio, I made note as to the location of this particular mention of the formation of his Civilian National Security Force that is going to be just as strong and just as well funded as our military. We will discuss this in my afternoon BTR show on 16 JUL 08 at 1300 hours CST (Texas time).

And yes, he did indeed say:

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."

Political Pistachio is also blogging and writing on this topic and this particular piece is very informative and well stated.

The image to the left is from Obama's web site but does not mention the Obama Storm Troopers except for a small blurb that mentions a Homeland Security Force - whatever that may be. He sure defined it in his speech in Fort Carson, CO.

This subject needs to be explained and exposed as to what it really means and I will not be spun. Neither should you. If you listen to the entire speech, taking notes as you go, the "offending" segment will become clearer and clearer. On 02 JUL 08, he not only abandoned the anti-war fruit loop brigades, he changed his positions several times and the sheeple clapped and applauded.

We live in Upside Down Land. It wouldn't surprise me if this section of his web site gets scrubbed in the near future.

"From Cassandra to Jesus Christ, it is amazing how often the doomed choose to ignore those who warn them of their coming fate." Cassandra was "doomed to tell the truth yet never to be believed". I am amazed how Greek Mythology so mirrors American politics.

I am also equally amazed that the United States is the last hold out for Judeo-Christian values but I am not surprised at all that those values are under attack by those that will not heed the warnings. What is equally astounding are the attitudes of complacency of so many alleged Christians in this nation we call America. Prophecy is being fulfilled as we live and breath and yet the silence is overwhelmingly loud. Alas. The silent ones will deserve everything that befalls them.

Casandra had the ability to foresee the future but was damned by her lover Apollo to never have the gift of persuasion because she spurned him at one point in time. The lesson there is to never anger your God or god. In the words of Cassandra. "Apollo, my destroyer, for you have destroyed me ..." (Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1080) and "I promised consent to Apollo but broke my word ... and ever since that fault I could persuade no one." (Aeschylus, Agamemnon 1208ff.)

John The Baptist lamented in nearly the same manner when he proclaimed "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" and "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said." Some call John The Baptist God's sled dog. I agree. Someone has to do it. It is all too readily clear that our politicians are not only incapable of such but are wholly unqualified.

Amazing isn't it? Who will hear and who will respond in the affirmative to that which we witness day in and day out? We see a Global Cultural Jihad unfolding before us yet we sit idly by in either fear to make waves or total disbelief. We ignore it in the hopes that it will all mysteriously vanish. Such is not the case.

This Global Cultural Jihad does not mean in totality that it is only the alleged "radical" Islam members conducting it nor does it mean that you have to be an Islamist to conduct a Jihad. Jihad means a Holy War and in my estimation anyone can conduct a Holy War. The Scriptures are very clear in this as is so stated in Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

We fight evil with good and there are those that fight good with evil. It is up to people to ascertain and discern that which is evil and that which is good. There are abundant sources of data upon which to glean the knowledge required to make the correct choices in life.

Herb Meyer was recently in Davos, Switzerland at a symposium where mighty men of courage gathered to discuss current events and, as voices in the wilderness, Mr Meyer made this proclamation:

[...] There has never been a superpower in this position before. On the one hand, this makes the U.S. a magnet for bright and ambitious people. It also makes us a target. We are becoming one of the last holdouts of the traditional Judeo-Christian culture. There is no better place in the world to be in business and raise children. The U.S. is by far the best place to have an idea, form a business and put it into the marketplace.

We take it for granted, but it isn't as available in other countries of the world. Ultimately, it's an issue of culture. The only people who can hurt us are ourselves, by losing our culture. If we give up our Judeo-Christian culture, we become just like the Europeans.

The culture war is the whole ballgame. If we lose it, there isn't another America to pull us out. [END]

No other words to my knowledge have been uttered so truthfully in recent days. America is in the same Culture War as is all of Europe and Canada. It has gotten so dire that Europe is preparing for their own Holy War called a civil war. So, too, here in the USA, there are some which are speaking of the same. As a Warrior myself, I pray that this does not come to pass but I do understand the sentiment and can see it coming. It can be all avoided but there must be those willing to make themselves known and emerge from their closeted comfort zones and speak out.

Traditional America is under attack and has been for decades. The issue is this; is it too late to do anything about it? For the first time a true Marxist is poised to become the President of the United States and Barack Obama is indeed a Marxist. All one has to do is listen to him as he speaks and parse his rhetoric. The man is a consummate liar and the collection of videos presented clearly depict that fact.

American Liberalism has been shown to be a mental disorder in proportions as to declare the country an international crisis. We have no qualified leadership in this nation at the federal level. Their spines and moral fortitude have been beaten into globs of mush with no relief in sight.

We need national healing and that won't come until 2 Chronicles 7:14 comes into prominent play: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Naturally, the Leftinistra will froth and foam at the mouth with these words but this is to be expected and I am sure the comments section will be rife with much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The United States is at a crossroads and the time has come for action and perhaps the Great Revival Part 2.

I don't give a damn about the Republican Party. Nor do I desire to "teach them a lesson". We see how that lame attitude worked in 2006, did we not?

"McCain", in the words of many a familiar blogger, "MIGHT secure the border. Obama will not. McCain MIGHT continue the Bush tax cuts. Obama will not. McCain DOES support The Troops and their Mission. Obama does not. McCain might emplace conservative judges. Obama will not". That right there is a no brainer.

It is McCain for many reasons which goes against the grain of a feigned and ill-conceived principle based on emotion and disappointment and frustration.

The silliness and folly of "teaching the GOP a lesson" by "staying home" and thereby and by default casting a vote for a known Marxist and Troop Hater, does not and cannot pass muster, no matter the alleged reasoning. Such folly is a direct groin kick from behind to the crotch of every veteran of every war we have ever fought. It is pissing on the graves of every Fallen Hero from every war we have ever fought. This is unacceptable. Recent SCOTUS decisions should be a clear indicator even to the casual observer.

I am a Troop. My son is a Troop. My wife is a Troop. My brother (KIA VN '68) is a Troop. My father is a Troop and all my uncles are Troops. Our family has served this Nation since the Revolutionary War and before. We know what sacrifice is and what it means. Most Americans don't know what it means.

The C'est la Guerre post still stands as it is written and is even more applicable today than it was when I wrote it as does Go Ahead: Allow Obama To Win...I find it chillingly eerie that a Pfc has more common sense than those of "principle" no matter who that person may or may not be. Once again, someone with Boots On The Ground trumps those that have no earthly concept what that would be like. And, more's the pity.

No. Snooper will not roll over in frustration and weariness of The Good Fight to teach anyone a lesson about anything because I don't have the time to play that game of hysterics. I will lead by example. I am a fighter. When a Flag falls, I will pick it up and charge forward, not sit down and let someone else do it. If not me, who?

The Battle Field lies in the House and Senate, not in the Presidency. That much is obvious even to the oblivious. Over the next 2 to 6 years, that is where the conflict lies- in the House and Senate - and bears merit. All other argument(s) fall flat because they carry no merit or worth. The Good Fight has yet to be realized and that which we have accomplished in the last 8 years will all be for naught should we sit back and let the country fall to a Marxist.

I didn't serve this nation to allow the silliness and folly of "teaching the GOP/RNC/RINO/MORON class of sycophant a lesson" about anything to become some demonstrative chant of see-I-told-ya-so. That attitude causes me to practically hurl. Our Troops' blood is worth so much more than that. You want to "teach someone" a lesson? Get off of your ass, turn off the idiotic boob tube - the device of complacency, indoctrination, and escapism - and begin to write letters, send faxes and emails and phone calls to every CONgressman and every Senator. Be a pest. That is what the enemy does and is good at it. Your basic Conservative is about as lazy as a hog in mud by design and it hurts to work and fight.

If I can take power naps on a rocky crag while observing enemy movements to keep you safe at night; if our Troops can sleep in mud holes in the rain to keep you safe at night; if my son could sleep in an environment that would make an outdoorsman cringe to keep you safe at night; the least you can do is turn your goddamn TV off and commence to fight and at least try to repay them what they are so deserving of...your support. And, turning the country over to a known Marxist is not the support we Troops will except. EVER.

We got Reagan because of several events: the aftermath of Vietnam, Nixon, Agnew, Ford, Carter and the economy. And, we are STILL digging out of the Carter Quagmire on many levels. We will never see another Reagan. Period. Get over it. Step away from the 'shrooms. We got McCain because of lazy Silent Majority Conservatives too damned lazy to act until it is too late and then they whine and complain and bitch when the going gets tough.

The "lesson" to be taught and learned right here and now is this: when the going gets toughest, that is when you lay the pressure on, without mercy and without remorse. We beat Shamnesty thrice. We have exposed the Leftinistra for what they are and we are gaining. Why surrender now to teach the unteachable a lesson? What will they learn and who will teach them? There are men and women poised to snag seats away from RINOs and socialists and we are going to let Obama defeat them?

Sergeant Jermain Nelson appeared in front of Judge Stephen Larson in Riverside, California. Apparently, Judge Larson will hear the case now and didn't accept Sergeant Nelson's refusal to testify. Judge Larson put Sergeant Nelson into custody which means that Sergeant Nelson is again in jail for refusing to testify against his squad leader.

Below is a MUST READ email from a former Marine who was at the hearing in Riverside:

Today was a very emotional day, the outcome was not what we wanted but it was a very good thing we were there.

P., S. and I arrived at the courthouse around 12:15, we parked and who do we see across the street, Sgt. Nelson, another Marine and [his attorney], Joseph Low. Mr. Low told us that the trial wouldn't start until 1:30, they were on their way to lunch and of course asked us to join them.

First I had to give Sgt. Nelson a big hug, from me and C., he was thrilled to get hugs from all of us.

The second marine was his jag officer, a great guy from West Virginia. Sgt. Nelson told us stories of life in Iraq - marines are never based in easy cushy bases, they are beyond the FOBs, live on MREs and sometimes, when their vehicle got blown up - on bread from the locals. As you can imagine, P. and I were ready to hop the first plane and just go cook for these guys.

He said baby wipes are essential, as are socks. Their socks get so wet and sweaty that their skin peels off inside. another great use for socks, they put a water bottle inside, wet the sock and leave it out over night, the wind evaporates the wet sock and in the morning they have a nice cool drink.

After lunch it was off to the courthouse. We met Bill who had just arrived, thinking he was late.

We were wearing Marine T-shirts and the security guards at the entrance were very happy to see us. Outside the courtroom the bailiff came up to us and said: "I can't say anything, but you'll understand, I am a former Marine."

We got the message loud and clear.

And now the bad news, things moved slowly, the judge didn't enter the room until 2:30 and immediately called Sgt. Nelson and Mr. Low. They once again pleaded their case, and the prosecutor had played a dirty trick. Mr. Low had asked for transcripts from Judge Anderson's courtroom [the previous judge in the hearing]. They were only sent this morning, when Mr Low was not around to review them. But that didn't matter to the judge. Despite some very good arguments by Atty Low (who asked the judge at one point, "what benefit is there to hearing Sgt. Nelson speak, over the transcripts and the tapes already available to the grand jury? The information is no different, why do they have to hear it live from him, when the questions aren't about Nazario, they are about his own conduct?"), the Judge had made up his mind.

Sgt. Nelson was put back in custody. His whole body language and demeanor changed - from a handsome, proud Marine to a dejected man.

Despite this judge being appointed by President Bush - it is clear that one can never know what kind of a judge he'll be. Since he will be the presiding judge in this grand jury case against Nazario, he wants this case to go forward - who knows why, his own career advancement, or whatever.

Mr. Low will proceed to file appeals and fight on, it isn't going to be pretty. After the trial a local journalist asked who we were. We simply said we had heard about the case from someone close to the military and that we want to support a man who has fought very hard to defend our lives.

Right now what we need are letters to Sgt. Jermaine Nelson, anything to pick up his spirits. Mr. Low is more than happy to accept email letters and take them over to him. As soon as he knows where to send snail mail, we can also send packages. If there are visiting days (which would probably be weekends) then despite the drive to San Bernardino - it will be very worth while doing.

Sgt. Nelson said he loves our green t-shirts, he wears it every day under his uniform. Hopefully he'll be out and back in uniform soon, [and] that is something to consider sending him as well.

So the fight goes on, a wonderful, strong, young man who has served our country with honor needs our help. I think we're up to the task.

L.

The portions of the post I have not swiped contains the contact data to "lend a hand".

Once again, we MUST stand firm together and denounce and renounce this kind of Judicial Tyranny or suffer the consequences. PERIOD.


If you have the guts; if you have the moral fortitude; if you have the spine for a fight - please visit Blackfive linked above to send emails of support and to send PROFESSIONAL messages to the moron judge.

[UPDATE]

An EXCELLENT article about this is at The American Thinker.

I am not at all "in the know" for the reason of this - Probably My Last Post - but it cannot be a good portent of things to come. Neither can this - Off The Air - and it is for this very reason that I will be out of pocket for a few days from tomorrow until the 2nd of July. We have some "business to attend to".
