Interesting Facts about the Vietnam Memorial Wall

This is the war that I had a part in, thus making me a Vietnam Vet. Both my brother and I served. I was Navy and he was a Marine. I even lost shipmates in this war, and I had to send the sad news home to their loved ones of the tragedy.

I think the Vietnam Memorial Wall is something this country got right.  Read on......interesting stuff!

A little history most people will never know.

Interesting Veterans Statistics off the Vietnam Memorial Wall

There are 58,267 names now listed on that polished black wall, including those added in 2010.

The names are arranged in the order in which they were taken from us by date and within each date the names are alphabetized. It is hard to believe it is 36 years since the last casualties.

The first known casualty was Richard B. Fitzgibbon, of North Weymouth , Mass. Listed by the U.S. Department of Defense as having been killed on June 8, 1956. His name is listed on the Wall with that of his son, Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Richard B. Fitzgibbon III, who was killed on Sept. 7, 1965.

There are three sets of fathers and sons on the Wall.

39,996 on the Wall were just 22 or younger.

8,283 were just 19 years old.

The largest age group, 33,103 were 18 years old.

12 soldiers on the Wall were 17 years old.

5 soldiers on the Wall were 16 years old.

One soldier, PFC Dan Bullock was 15 years old.

997 soldiers were killed on their first day in Vietnam.

1,448 soldiers were killed on their last day in Vietnam.

31 sets of brothers are on the Wall.

Thirty one sets of parents lost two of their sons.

54 soldiers attended Thomas Edison High School in Philadelphia.

8 Women are on the Wall. Nursing the wounded.

244 soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War; 153 of them are on the Wall.

Beallsville , Ohio with a population of 475 lost 6 of her sons.

West Virginia had the highest casualty rate per capita in the nation. There are 711 West Virginians on the Wall.

The Marines of Morenci ~ They led some of the scrappiest high school football and basketball teams that the little Arizona copper town of Morenci (pop. 5,058) had ever known and cheered. They enjoyed roaring beer busts. In quieter moments, they rode horses along the Coronado Trail, stalked deer in the Apache National Forest. And in the patriotic camaraderie typical of Morenci's mining families, the nine graduates of Morenci High enlisted as a group in the Marine Corps. Their service began on Independence Day, 1966. Only 3 returned home.

The Buddies of Midvale ~ LeRoy Tafoya, Jimmy Martinez, Tom Gonzales were all boyhood friends and lived on three consecutive streets in Midvale, Utah on Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Avenues. They lived only a few yards apart. They played ball at the adjacent sandlot ball field. And they all went to Vietnam.

In a span of 16 dark days in late 1967, all three would be killed.

 LeRoy was killed on Wednesday, Nov. 22, the fourth anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination.

Jimmy died less than 24 hours later on Thanksgiving Day.

Tom was shot dead assaulting the enemy on Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.

The most casualty deaths for a single day was on January 31, 1968 ~ 245 deaths.

The most casualty deaths for a single month was May 1968 ~ 2,415 casualties were incurred.

For most Americans who read this they will only see the numbers that the Vietnam War created. To those of us who survived the war, and to the families of those who did not, we see the faces, we feel the pain that these numbers created. We are, until we too pass away, haunted with these numbers, because they were our friends, fathers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters. There are no noble wars, just noble warriors.

Senior version of Jesus Loves Me

92 YEAR OLD PREACHER

While watching a little TV on Sunday instead of going to church, I watched a church in Atlanta honoring one of its senior pastors who had been retired many years. He was 92 at that time and I wondered why the church even bothered to ask the old gentleman to preach at that age. After a warm welcome, introduction of this speaker, and as the applause quieted down, he rose from his high back chair and walked slowly, with great effort and a sliding gait to the podium. Without a note or written paper of any kind he placed both hands on the pulpit to steady himself and then quietly and slowly he began to speak....

"When I was asked to come here today and talk to you, your pastor asked me to tell you what was the greatest lesson ever learned in my 50-odd years of preaching. I thought about it for a few days and boiled it down to just one thing that made the most difference in my life and sustained me through all my trials.. The one thing that I could always rely on when tears and heartbreak and pain and fear and sorrow paralyzed me...
The only thing that would comfort was this verse..............

"Jesus loves me this I know.
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong,
We are weak but He is strong.....
Yes, Jesus loves me....
The Bible tells me so."

The old pastor stated, "I always noticed that it was the adults who chose the children's hymn Jesus Loves Me' (for the children of course) during a hymn sing, and it was the adults who sang the loudest because I could see they knew it the best."

"Here for you now is a Senior version of Jesus Loves Me":

JESUS LOVES ME

Jesus loves me, this I know,
Though my hair is white as snow
Though my sight is growing dim,
Still He bids me trust in Him.
(CHORUS)
YES, JESUS LOVES ME.. YES, JESUS LOVES ME..
YES, JESUS LOVES ME, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.

Though my steps are oh, so slow,
With my hand in His I'll go
On through life, let come what may,
He'll be there to lead the way.
(CHORUS)

When the nights are dark and long,
In my heart He puts a song..
Telling me in words so clear,
"Have no fear, for I am near."
(CHORUS)

When my work on earth is done,
And life's victories have been won.
He will take me home above,
Then I'll understand His love.
(CHORUS)

I love Jesus, does He know?
Have I ever told Him so?
Jesus loves to hear me say,
That I love Him every day.
(CHORUS)
If you think this is neat, please pass it on to your friends. "reach out and touch" a friend or a loved one. God Bless Us All!!!-- "Humanly speaking it is impossible.
But not with God.
With God,
ALL things are possible."
Mark 10:27

This is How Can We Make This Happen...

Warren in a recent interview with CNBC, Buffett, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a  law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!  Why? Simple!  The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.
        
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.
          
 Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.  This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

        
1. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.

2.  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective July/1/2012. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.

Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

The Fear of the Lord is True Knowledge

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Proverbs 1:7 NLT 


One of the most annoying types of people is a know-it-all person, male or female: teachers and politicians are two types of people that come to my mind right away.
 

But don't get me wrong, because ANY person can fit the description of a know-it-all person, especially if they DON'T know who the Living God is.
 

This type of person always has a dogmatic opinion about everything, and he or she is always closed to anything new.
 

I meet these type of people all of the time, but you can't let them get the best of you.
 

It makes me wonder how they can know or learn anything in life. I guess that's why God has to deal with them like He did to the Early Patriarchs, like Jonah or Abraham or David, and we're no exception.
 

Solomon calls this kind of person a fool, because they resent discipline, and refuse to learn, thus we learn NOTHING because we know-it-all.
 

Therefore, don't be a know-it-all. Instead, be open to the advice of others, especially those who know you well and can give you valuable insight and counsel.
 

Those who are in business have learned this lesson already, because if they don't know how to do something to promote their business an bring in more profits, they bring in experts to school management team on how to do it.
 

So God's Word to us is, "Learn wisdom and discipline, otherwise you'll be the FOOL."
 

Remember, only God knows it all.

AN ACCURATE REFLECTION OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN AMERICA

THIS IS MORE THAN A PRAYER, IT'S AN ACCURATE REFLECTION OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN AMERICA OVER THE PAST 60 YEARS.

Current Age: 90. Truth.............from a man the media has never been able to throw dirt on.....amazing!
He has certainly hit the "world" on the head!



Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation

 
THIS MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY!

'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One nation under God!'

Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. (It's worth a try!) 'One Nation Under God!'



Life is too short

3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! 4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Psalm 144:3-4 KJV

 
Commentary:

David reminds us that our life is like a “passing shadow” and that we are “like to vanity.”

Too bad that we all don’t understand this and live our lives as if today is our last day to live on Earth. 

It’s like when the light of day fades into darkness; we cannot bring back our shadow to see it again.  

Nor are we promised the next sunrise to see our shadow the next day, and so it is with our life. Each second is precious, yet many of us just waste it. 

But then David had some insight. He said that “Man is like to vanity.” 

Here “Vanity” means our want of substance to satisfy our desires; our emptiness. 

So, it’s a wonder that the Living God of the Universe pays any attention to us, because all our desires are for naught; all for emptiness. 

So why do we, the ones that God chose to be created in His Image, desire and settle for less than what God wants for us? 

We are to reign with Him in Heaven as kings and priest, why do we want to be and live as beggars at the King of Kings Holy Gate? 

Therefore my friend, because life is short, we should live for God while we have the time and while it is still day, for the night cometh swiftly.  

Columbine Student's father 12 years later

Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm? On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.

They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness...

The following is a portion of the transcript:

"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.

"The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.

"In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent.

I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best. 

Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,
You've outlawed simple prayer. 
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question "Why?"
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed..
And yet you fail to understand, 
That God is what we need!

"Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc.

Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact.

What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA.

They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.

"As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school.

I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America, and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools.

Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him.

To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge...Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone!

My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen again.

Darrell Scott

Another Obama Nominee Confirmed to the Bench

Let me first state that I don’t support any group or group of people in this piece; however, I DO support the Constitution of the United States with the exception of some to the socialistic amendments that were added to benefit any and all politicians.

Our Constitution was created to PROTECT WE THE PEOPLE and was NOT created to cater to any scumbag politician’s profitable interest.

So my Friends of the Second Amendment, take time to read this piece and comment on it. All comments are welcome.

I did not write all of the words to this piece, but I did add my comments in some areas of this expose.  

Last week, President Obama named to the federal bench another radical anti-gun nominee, Jesse Furman.

To no one’s surprise, Furman is cut from the same judicial cloth as other Obama socialist nominees such as Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan; both of whom know NOTHING about the Constitution of the United States.

For instance, in an article published a number of years ago—but from which Furman has not distanced himself—he writes that: “Probably the best explanation for the amount of violent crime in the United States is its fascination with guns.”

This is the same BS that ALL socialist believe in until they’re lives or their family’s lives are threatened and then the story changes. That’s when they want guns in their home, in their car or truck, and in their offices OR some moronic thug, who has the brains of an amoeba, who will stand over them to protect them from any of life’s inconvenience.

Members Gun Owners of America have flooded the Senate with emails, and many Senators voted against Furman. But Majority Leader Harry Reid kept every single Democrat in lock-step with the Obama agenda, and Furman was confirmed to a lifetime appointment to the bench on a vote of 62-34.

This, if anything, SHOULD tell We the People something about what the Democrats want and DON’T want. These same Democrats had this same hatred for the African-American Slaves, and they fought every step of the way until they brought the African-American race into its fold through threats, killings, and mutilations.

And ALL of this was done through the organization that supported the Democrats, and that organization was the KKK back then. Today it’s the Communist Party USA and the numerous Socialist Party Groups and whacked out individuals.

This is all documented and in some cases it is blocked by the establishment as lies and falsifications. With a little research, this all comes to light. There are books that have been written and published on behave of some of the slaves to bring to light what went on and what had happened. BUT you must do your research.  

Now don’t get me wrong thinking that I favor the Republicans or the Independents or the Tea Party and other rightwing groups, because there are enemies within ALL political groups. 

Back in the early to mid 1900’s there were the Dixiecrats who jumped parties to favor their own selfish needs and that’s not to mention the communist who came into politics to sway the United States away from her Freedoms and make us all slaves unto their religious beliefs.

My philosophy is DON’T TRUST ANY POLITICIAN. The trust in our government died in the mid1800’s when the last of our Founding Fathers had died and the anarchist began to emerge with their selfishness.

Okay that’s enough of a history lesson, so let’s get back to this nomination of Jesse Furman, and let’s look at the Republican side of this ordeal.

Republicans Jon Kyl and John McCain (AZ), Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander (TN), Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe (ME), Jeff Sessions (AL), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Scott Brown (MA), and Lindsey Graham (SC) joined all Democrats in voting for Furman.

This vote serves to highlight the difficulty in protecting the courts from anti-Second Amendment nominees who come before the Congress.

Obama will continue to nominate far left gun grabbers, and Harry Reid will be his go-to guy for confirmation votes.

And if Obama wins a second term, his agenda will become only more brazen.

That’s why the top goal of We the People and any organization who supports OUR FREEDOMS provided in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution in 2012 is to elect as many truly pro-gun friends as we can to the U.S. Senate.

And if those who are still in office and / or those who get elected to office DON’T abide by our wishes, need to GET REMOVED from that position and REPLACED by someone who will abide by our wishes.

Therefore, take note: it is CRUCIAL that Harry Reid DOES NOT retain the gavel next year. BUT it is not enough to just elect members of the opposing party.

WE NEED to elect STRONG candidates who understand the Constitution and who will not bow to pressure from the White House—WHOEVER THE OCCUPANT MAY BE—OR from the LEADERSHIP OF EITHER PARTY in the Congress.

It’s up to WE the PEOPLE, and IF WE FAIL, it’s OUR FAULT because WE did NOT do what was required.

We can live in either a FREE REPUBLIC or under a Democratic Socialist State; the choice is YOURS. What are YOU gonna do THIS year?  

Immigration and Big Labor

The massive government bailout has so far largely rewarded those who were most responsible for the financial meltdown in the first place, while American workers are bearing the brunt of the recession. Over eleven million Americans are out of work and millions more are in danger of losing their jobs. One would think that, at this time, American labor unions would be stepping up to protect American workers, but just the opposite is occurring. Right now the largest labor unions in the U.S. are lobbying Congress to grant amnesty to millions of illegal workers, to stop enforcing laws against employers who hire illegal workers, and to keep up the flow of millions more foreign workers.

BIG LABOR'S ABOUT FACE ON IMMIGRATION

In 2000, capping a decade-long movement, the leaders of the AFL-CIO officially changed its long-held position on immigration and began to support mass immigration and oppose enforcement of immigration laws. Why? The answer is simple: to bolster their depleted ranks and to retain their influence on Capitol Hill. It never occurred to these leaders that changing labor conditions had altered the role of unions, or that their own greed and corruption had alienated the rank-and-file members. Instead of adapting to the needs of union members, many union leaders chose to abandon the American workers who looked to them to protect their jobs, wages, and workplace conditions.

In 2005, when five unions broke away from the AFL-CIO and formed Change to Win, the object was not to protest the egregious behavior of AFL-CIO leadership in selling out the American worker. Instead, the Change to Win partnership began to more aggressively recruit illegal alien workers, and to spend millions of dollars lobbying Congress on their behalf. The Service Employee International Union (SEIU) is the worst example of a union using the rhetoric of workers' rights while working to reverse many of the hard-fought successes of the American labor movement.

Perhaps it is fitting that the SEIU should emphasize its international orientation, but its leaders do not point out that if their effort to bring about amnesty is successful it may well boost their membership numbers, by bringing in hundreds of thousands of previously "undocumented workers," but it will be a disaster for American workers, union members or not. Sadly, the president of the SEIU, Andy Stern, is hardly concerned with the plight of union members, as his cozy relationships with business executives and crooked politicians will attest. Stern may talk tough about greed on Wall Street, but corruption has marked his tenure as SEIU president.

DISTORTED HISTORY

Union leaders have turned the history of the American labor movement on its head. The organized labor movement in the U.S. historically has been in favor of restricting legal immigration and opposing all illegal immigration. Union leaders, from Samuel Gompers to A. Philip Randolph to Cesar Chavez, have understood that foreign labor drives down wages and conditions for American workers. It's not xenophobic or anti-immigrant to call for a sensible immigration policy that puts the needs of American workers first. The U.S. does not have a labor shortage, and the expanding number of foreign workers in the labor market drives down the bargaining power of American workers. It's the irrefutable logic of labor economics.

Labor conditions have deteriorated in this country, as employers routinely break immigration laws and law enforcement officials routinely look the other way. Not since the nineteenth century has American seen such widespread exploitation of its workers. One needs only to look at the example of the Agriprocessors plant in Postville, Iowa, where, among many other criminal violations, the plant employed children who worked in dangerous and unsanitary conditions. Or to the Smithfield plant in Tar Heel, North Carolina, which was unionized after fifteen years of trying only after the plant owners were forced to hire legal workers. When it comes to immigration, one should ask the question: Why are union leaders and big business executives conspiring to drive down the wages and conditions of American workers?

I Am Your Safe Haven

Psalm 140:12 AMP

I know and rest in confidence upon it that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will secure justice for the poor and needy [of His believing children].

Psalm 140:12 NLT

But I know the Lord will help those they persecute; he will give justice to the poor.

Psalm 140:12 KJV

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

I have chosen the above three translations to express this commentary.

There’s always a safe haven for the poor and afflicted to run into, but the sign above that door can be misleading if they don’t know the truth of the fact.

So unto whom can the poor turn when they are persecuted? We all would say that the government will take care of them, yet there are governments that go one step further in taking care of the poor, and history bears this witness: they were found in mass graves.

Of course, some will lack the money to get professional help, because they will most likely have spent their money on bling, drugs and alcohol. Yet many aren’t like that and they may be just unable to defend themselves from the wolves.

But there is always someone on their side, and most of the time they aren’t looking to that source, because of the situation in which they find themselves; however, the Lord will always be standing by for them to seek his face and He will ultimately bring about due justice.

This should be a comfort for us all, but even we who are able to defend ourselves and meet all our immediate needs, we will without a doubt need to know where to turn when we are weak and undone.

Therefore, we must remember that NO matter what our situation may be, the Lord is with us.

Therefore this truth should also call us to responsibility, because HE has promised that HE would be with us forever, and as I know, these times will be very trying for us and we can’t see the light despite darkness.

Nevertheless, as God's people – as the hands of the Lord – we are required to defend the rights of the powerless. Remember that the Founding Fathers of our Country’s Constitution made numerous mentions that ALL of our Freedoms and Rights come from the Living Most High God and all we need to do is look unto WHOM our Salvation cometh. Thus we are our brother’s keeper.

History tells this story very well, but the secularist don’t want the Lord’s chosen to know this truth; therefore, it’s left up to each of us to find the truth and make it’s light shine.

Until next time, may the Living God of gods and of ALL the Universe be with you and bless you.

Communist Party USA Sues Dems for Theft of Party Platform

Posted on May 17, 2010 by Dr. Eowyn

The Communist Party of the USA (yes, we have one!) is suing the Democratic Party for stealing its party platform! Too funny.

Do we need more evidence that liberals/Progressives are really socialists/commies?

 Communist Party sues Democrats on platform theft

The Manteca Bulletin – May 15, 2010

Editor, Manteca Bulletin,

Even the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) has now objected to the Democrat Party, suing the Democrats and its leadership for “stealing” their party platform and relabeling it as “progressive”.

According to political hotwire and many other sources, CPUSA claims that the entire so-called “new” Democratic agenda is, in fact, the product of a decades-long, painstaking campaign by CPUSA theorists, agitators, and underground subversive cells – which makes it the intellectual property of the Communist Party USA, protected by American copyright laws. “They stole our entire platform, rebranded it ‘progressive’, and claimed it as their own,” declared a CPUSA spokesperson at a press conference in San Francisco. “And we communists say, not so fast! Not in this country anyway, where we still have property rights and the rule of law, thank God! Actually, let me rephrase that…”, which was a comment to undermine God as both the Democrats and Communists have done. The Communist Party representative further explained that government ownership of the auto and financial industries, redistribution of wealth, and free rationed health care have always been among the glorious CPUSA objectives: “We held on to these goals through all the difficult years of factional infighting, purges, denunciations, and heroic espionage on behalf of the Soviet intelligence services.”

According to the article, CPUSA lawyers presented documents to the press showing that the Democratic platform of 2010, almost line-for-line, reiterates the CPUSA platform of 1963. In other words, the Democrats of today are the Communists of yesterday. I recently laid this all out in a commentary called the “Democrat-Communist Manifesto. The socialist takeover of our government is starting to show its vulnerability to reality. We elected Barack Obama as president without looking into his past. The socialist in control of the executive and legislative branches of government have grabbed more government control on the people. Now their push is for control of the courts as Obama appoints judges that carry out his Communist agenda. He has nominated Elena Kagen to become the next lifetime appointment to the United States Supreme Court, even though she has never served one day as a judge. She is a lesbian, who, as Dean of Harvard Law School, forced military recruiters off campus due to her distaste of the “Don’t ask. Don’t tell” policy of the military. She also once wrote, “Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s greatness.” While the socialist and communist in America try to re-label what they are really doing, they work unified to the same goal – removing capitalism and God and replacing it with control by the government.

Protocol when the National Anthem is played

 

Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do. Few were listening.

The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "Meet The Press'.
 

From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.

 

General Bill Gann' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...

During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".

NOW GET THIS !!

'Senator ‘Obama replied:
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing."

(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)

Obama continued: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ........"

When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".

"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America "

Yes, you read it right.
I, for one, am speechless!!!

Occupy Wall Street MEANS THIS...

Let me start this off by saying the following because MANY people will call me a RACIST and I'm far from it. In fact MANY people are so HUNG UP on a LIE or FALSE TEACHING that they so BRAINWASHED that they wouldn't know the TRUTH from a LIE if it SLAPPED THEM IN THE FACE.

With that said, I'm going to tell you who my Presidential Candidate was until the Communist Party and Socialist Party leaders of the Brotherhood killed his campaign, and he was Herman Cain.

"Oh yeah!!" I'm sure that's the response most people will say to the above statements, but YOU don't know me that well to be sleeping with me (Figuratively speaking) to KNOW me.

This is a great article. One of the most intellectual human beings in this country, hits it right on the head, Thomas Sowell.

The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly. It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and of murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society. It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: of defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been always rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been now shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties. It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and all other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor. It is the America that Obama and the Democrat Party have now created with all the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood , unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities. Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in three years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of. The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America . "Socialism, in general, has a record of failure that's so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it." Dr. Thomas Sowell (A National Humanities Medal Winner) The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are out numbered by the people that vote for a living.

If you own a home, please read this NEW Federal Gov't SCAM

THIS WILL BLOW YOU AWAY !!!!!

The National Association of REALTORS is all over this and working to get it repealed, before it takes effect. But, I am very pleased we aren't the only ones who know about this ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners.

 How many REALTORS do you think will vote Democratic in 2012?

Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it?

That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill and goes into effect in 2013.

Why 2013? Could it be to come to light AFTER the 2012 elections?

So, this is "change you can believe in"?

Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax.

If you sell a $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax.

This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes.

Does this make your November and 2012 vote more important?

Oh, you weren't aware this was in the Obamacare bill?

Guess what, you aren't alone.

There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either
