ACTION

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Psalm 1:1

We will be reminded over the weekend of the Greatnes of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His accomplishments are numerous and his influence seemingly immeasurable. The youngest to receive the Nobel. An award of great notice until recently trifled in popular recognition with the selections of Barack H. Obama (2009) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. (2007). Maybe when Beowulf returns, we can scratch their names from the trophy case! His orations cast him amongst the world's preeminent Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan and William Faulkner [Delivered one of the world's great speeches for his Nobel Prize. Talk about deserving what you get!]. His writings have become required reading in universities and high schools throughout the US. Dr. King was never elected or appointed to public office yet, his influence was tremendously impacted legislative leaders. His leadership gave courage to Republican Senators and Congressmen, at the time the minority party, to push through legislation overriding America's "Jim Crow" laws. They won't show this in school but, this is the outcome of the vote:

The original House version:

• Democratic Party: 152-96 (61%-39%)
• Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%)

Cloture in the Senate:

• Democratic Party: 44-23 (66%–34%)
• Republican Party: 27-6 (82%–18%)

The Senate version:

• Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%–31%)
• Republican Party: 27-6 (82%–18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:

• Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%–37%)
• Republican Party: 136-35 (80%–20%)

Al Sharpton claimed on his show that Democrats supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Doesn't seem like the Democrat Party was as influenced by Dr. King as the Republican Party. Al Sharpton won't tell ya that. Painfully, the labor entrenched public schools fail to teach history and excel in teaching revisionist history. Community organizers in the classroom have no problem miseducating children and adults on voting rights. Often, minorities are told that without the 1964 Civil Rights Act they would not be able to vote in the United States. The Patriotic teacher would take the opportunity to advise that all minority voters are protected, since Reconstruction, under the US Constitution's 14th Amendment. The union teacher--the most to lose from an educated minority populus--without shame provokes the paranoia of the student by affirming that the 1964 Act "guarantees" the right to vote and that only one Party--the Democrat--will protect that right. Irresponsible? Yes. Effective? Yes. When corraling a people is essential, one's methods are never questioned. I suppose Rev. Al has been miseducated enough to know that it was Herman Cain that first accused Blacks of being brainwashed and not Malcom X. Today's Ron Paul is yesterday's Malcolm X.

What others won't disclose is that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a rewrite of President Dwight Eisenhower's 1957 Civil Rights Act. The common denominator for each: Lyndon Baines Johnson. The 1964 Civil Rights act enforces the constitutional right to vote, confers jurisdiction upon the district courts of the United States of America to provide relief against discrimination in public accommodations, authorizes the Attorney General to institute suits to protect constitutional rights in public facilities and public education, extends the Commission on Civil Rights, prevents discrimination in federally assisted programs, establishes a Commission on Equal Employment Opportunity, and other purposes. Nowhere in this act does it give you the right to vote. The Radical Republicans in 1868 satisfied that barrier. So what of this 1957 Act? It prohibited intimidation, coercion or otherwise interfering with the rights of persons to vote for the President and members of Congress. The Attorney General of the United States "may" [sic] institute actions, including injunctions and charges of contempt of court, with fines not to exceed $1000 and six months imprisonment. There are also extensive safeguards for the rights of accused under this statute. Federal judges were permitted to hear cases related to the act with or without juries. Not being able to vote in most of the South, blacks were also excluded from juries. President Eisenhower was bitterly disappointed with the bill. He advised that he wanted a stronger and more enforceable piece of legislation, "I wanted a much stronger civil rights bill in '57 than I could get, But the Democrats . . . wouldn't let me have it." Why is the "may" so important? Three letters: LBJ. Let's explore why the Father of the Great Society supported the 1957 Act. The Senate Majority Leader advised:

"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again."

The Senate leader, Lyndon Baines Johnson, was a Democrat, and recognized that the Civil Rights bill traveling through Congress, would rent his party in two: right wing Southern senators and liberal West Coast senators. Don't worry LBJ! I think we have the picture. The real reason was ambition. LBJ knew he would run for President someday. He needed a bill that was pro-civil rights to appeal to potential allies of the Democrat Party and weakly enforceable that he may keep his Majority Leadership and maintain appearances with the strong Southern contingency. The public, at a loss of confidence, became less supportive when Eisenhower openly admitted that he did not understand parts of the bill. Score one for LBJ! By the way, who signed the 1964 Act? Eisenhower? Nixon? Kennedy? Nah, it was the uppity Negroes best friend: LBJ.

"Weel about and turn about and do jis so,

Eb'ry time I weel about I jump Jim Crow."

I must applaud the Democrat Party. They are so wise. More than 400 state laws, constitutional amendments, and city ordinances legalizing segregation and discrimination were passed in the United States between 1865 and 1967. Western states routinely passed discriminatory legislation against Asians and Native Americans, passing 51 Jim Crow laws, 12 percent of the nation's total. Outside the South, California passed more Jim Crow laws (17) than any other state in the country. Jim Crow induced Blacks to leave the South for The Warmth of Other Suns. In 1910, the African-American population of Detroit was 6,000. The Great Migration, and immigration from eastern and southern Europe, turned the city into the country's fourth-largest. By the start of the Great Depression in 1929, its African-American population had climbed to 120,000. More than six (6) million Blacks left the South. The economic tragedy is simple to relate. By 1910, it is estimated that Blacks owned fifteen (15) million acres of land in the South. Modern African-American rural landowners possess a total of approximately 7.7 million acres of land, less than 1% of all privately owned rural land in the United States, valued at $14 Billion dollars. Think about how much wealth and inheritance was lost thanks to the Jim Crow Economy. How's that Union job at Hostess working for ya? Through intimidation and later, dependency, the Democrat Party convinced 90% of Black America that a single political party could protect them from "the evil doings" of the Radical Republicans, the greed of corporations and their shareholders and the "ever enduring" stigma of slavery. I can hear the Jim Crow Dems speaking, "Listen, we aren't talking about race but I know the Republicans brought it up and they don't want to apologize. They were always against you."

The term Jim Crow is believed to have originated around 1830 when a white, minstrel show performer, Thomas "Daddy" Rice, blackened his face with charcoal paste or burnt cork and danced a ridiculous jig while singing the lyrics to the song, "Jump Jim Crow." Theologian Howard Thurman described "Jim Crow" laws in this manner to his daughters:

"The measure of a man's estimate of your strength is the kind of weapons he feels that he must use in order to hold you fast in a prescribed place."

You see the Dems were just having a little fun expressing how different whites were from blacks. Yeah, the DEMs pulled out some other stereotypes to keep the party going with sleight of hand "You see, wese gonna shows you what the Republicans be thinking about you really!" Ever building the case for a second class status in the Republican Party composed of a racially disdaining group of elitists, the DEMs pulled out all of the stops by adding some characters from their psychological warfare cabinet: Sambos, Coons, and Zip Dandies. By the way, Black conservative, when were you last called one of these names by your smitten and irate Democrat brethren? Yes, even Dr. King suffered such expresson from Black leaders of his day. All in fun of course!

Dr. King was an ordinary man who made extraordinary decisions that produced exceptional results. While we rage in battle over the fact that Dr.King was a registered Republican, he no doubt felt an allegiance towards the Democrat Party. Author Stephen Oates, Let the Trumpet Sound: A Life of Martin Luther King, Jr, wrote, "I feel someone must remain in the position of non-alignment, so that he can look objectively at both parties and be the conscience of both—not the servant or master of either." However, his body may have been in the Republican Party with his father, Martin L. King, Sr. but his mind was on the Democrat Party. Dr. King, Jr. always made it clear that he was not Dr. King, Sr. In part, Sr. King agreed with the elders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference that it was ok for Jr. King to be a national or even regional leader. However, the black clergymen agreed that he needed to stay out of "Atlanta's business". Let me be the first to report to you that Men of the Cloth are still men. They were jealous and cautious of Dr. King's popularity and influence. Jr. King referred to them as an "envious old guard". They did not want him changing things in Atlanta proper. In an attempt to quell the massess, the established Negro Leadership, I'll refer to them as Atlanta's Talented Tenth a la W.E.B. DuBois, had an agreement with the established white leadership, including Mayor William Hartsfield and Police Chief Herbert Jenkins. The agreed with a gradual and peaceful process of desegregation in the BIG ATL. Each group agreed that Jr. King was a threat and decided to keep him out. This propelled King Jr. to search for a "liberal" white brother in the battle to put down the pretentiousness of political correctness and execute moral leadership. He saw that in John F. Kennedy.

Given past baggage in former Vice-President Richard Nixon's and Senator Kennedy's background, he saw the latter as a better Presidential choice. He went as far to say that he planned on endorsing him in 1964. It would have been the first time that King, Jr. had endorsed a candidate. The affinity and adoration the two had in public discourse is questioned in the Presidential actions of Kennedy. According to the National Black Republican Association, Kennedy, lauded as a proponent of civil rights, voted against the 1957 Civil rights Act while he was a senator, as did Democrat Senator Al Gore, Sr. He was opposed to the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph who was a black Republican. President Kennedy, in order to undermine Dr. King, through his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy, had the civil rights leader wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist. Clayborn Carson et al, The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr: Symbol of the Movement, January 1957 – December, 1958, captured the thinking of many modern conservatives, especially Black, that call themselves Independents, with this quote from Dr. King, Jr.:

Actually, the Negro has been betrayed by both the Republican and the Democratic party. The Democrats have betrayed him by capitulating to the whims and caprices of the Southern Dixiecrats. The Republicans have betrayed him by capitulating to the blatant hypocrisy of reactionary right wing northern Republicans. And this coalition of southern Dixiecrats and right wing reactionary northern Republicans defeats every bill and every move towards liberal legislation in the area of civil rights.

He, like many of his day, had given up on the Party of Lincoln and surrendered to the Party of Jefferson Davis to promote and produce results born of universal truths. The road well traveled may have produced the catalysts needed for victory. However, is it the change of promise idealed by Frederick Douglas and Booker T. Washington? Or have we produced the field of dreams envisioned by Karl Marx, WEB Dubois and lawyer, revolutionary politician Vladimir Lenin? You thought I was going to say Barack Obama didn't you? Dr. King felt the pangs of success and failure within and without his race. He felt the tremors of success from within and from without his political party. Considering the icon requires an earthened look at his influnces and what has come to pass for the sake of America. .

Many of our bretheren have been duped and made afraid to exit false modern movements because of their duplicity of thought. Dr. King was already a leader of a multi-racial, American populist cultural movement that sought vindication and legislative remedy for the racial injustices of society. Movement leaders that coerced Dr. King to attend the 1963 March on Washington needed him more than Dr, King needed them. They were a school of American liberalists seeking approval and a means of fully infiltrating the Black community. American liberalists composed of unions attempting to cover years of discrimination with a zealous oureach to Black workers, left leaning.community organizations and alternative lifestyle proponents needed an icon to hitch their wagon. Fashioned by radical thinkers like Sol Alinsky, the organizations sought validity, acceptance and empowerment from a traditionally conservative yet abused community. Each had their own agenda but could mask their threats in the universal suffrage of Black Americans. I can imagine people sitting in a dark, musty room smoking cigars and agreeing to support one another because each has what the other needs.

"Yeah, I was born this way like you were born Black. Gay Rights is the same as Voting Rights!"

"A Living Wage. Listen, all you are missing is a piece of the government. Help me get the living wage and I will help you with affirmative action."

"You know your people, eh excuse me, I meant, "Our people" are struggling with the church stopping women from controlling their bodies. You help with abortion rights, eh I mean Women's Rights then, we'll be down with the cause."

What did we receive in return: Detroit and other modern urban metrolpolitans! Some alliances prove more unsightly than the treasures of the cause pursued.

Detroit is a Socialist city teetering on the edge of cultural bankruptcy. "So what does this have to do with Dr. King, Ken!? You know I am already mad at you for not bowing down and worshipping at the image of the Great Civil Rights Leader." Firstly, we have enough rock remaining to build a statue for Booker T. Washington, Harriett Tubman and Malcolm X. Secondly, you don't spit in te wind and you don't ask the Communist Chineese government to build a statue of Dr. King. Amazing what American Union Labor won't volunteer to do! Finally, it's sited near the FDR statue (All Blacks love FDR!) and is facing the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. Who was in charge of putting this plan together? I

digress. While he preached of a colorless society, his leanings towards liberality secured a sense amongst the Black electorate that vigilante politics was an acceptable framework of voting. Vigilante politics is composed of three principles: (1) racial preference; (2) party preference and (3) economic preference. Personal Responsibility is one the most laudable tenets of conservatism. The term personal, at least in its Old French origins, yields no wiggle room for the faint at heart. During the 14th century, the term meant "pertaining to self". The German playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe advised, “Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and then the whole world will be clean." This is not the case in liberal politics. Vigilant electors feel the need to elect not "from their own" but "from their own kind". Hence, while affirmative action is sought in employment and contracting, it is frowned upon in elections. If a white man that shares your belief and possesses the skillset to govern is running against a black man that shares your belief and lacks the skillset to govern then, you choose the latter rather than the first. Your budget may suffer and mandates made law but "at least he's got my best interest at heart." The second is party preference. It does not matter! There is only one party that understands what I've been through so I must choose that one. Principles are unimportant, only Party really matters. Last, economic preference. When given the choice of supply side and demand side, always choose demand side economics. To the vigilant electorate, there will never be enough goods because a few people that produce them are hoarding them. We need our stuff and we need it now. When I am unable to be satisfied, I believe that the goods maker should be punished. Raise his taxes. Create rules that will slow-up his success. Since I am so poor and weak, I will demand that the government act as my agent and force the producers to meet my need. That'll show'em!

For urban America, vigilante politics has ruined budgets, economic growth and taken liberties from families and individuals. A Great Case for this is Detroit. I will succinctly consider each of the Vigilante points in establishing the failure of such governments. Mayor Dave Bing, Democrat, had advised his popolus in December 2011 that the city was experiencing some spending pressures but nothing they could not handle. After an audit, the city was only in the red by $67 million . By January 2012, there are concerns that the city may not be able to meet May 2012 payroll. Who's responsible? Detroit governs by way of a strong mayoral system. All tickets are punched by the Big Cheese in the leather chair. However the budget is approved by the city council. Let's get over points one and two at once. The council is all black and all are Democrats. Apparently, there are no other races living in Detroit and certainly, no Detroit City Republican Party exists. Point three: economic preference. You would hope in a tremendous area of trade and factory production that many members of your city council would understand and promote supply side economics where possible. You would hope there is no dependency on government at all with its ports and huge involvement in domestic and foreign trade. Tcha, you know what? No! Mind you, Motor City councilmembers are compensated at $73,000 per annum. Our first guest on Vigilante Elections: Charles Pugh. Elected President becomes he received the most votes, what a qualifier, Pugh was a television journalist and radio personality. All the signs of a fiscal policy hawk. The electorate chose him despite a late campaign controversy when he acknowledged that he was struggling financially and his $385,000 condominiium was in foreclosure. I understand, things happen. Guest two: Gary Brown, former Deputy Police Chief. Public Safety. Great! Financial Strength: Part of a $8.4 million whistle blower's suit against Detroit. He won. It gets better! Guest three: Saunteel Jenkins. Foreclosure. Jenkins owed $167,000 on her mortgage and decided to walk away. Three years salary and it's paid off. Guest four: Kenneth Cockriel, Jr. Former Wayne County Commissioner. He must now how to manage a budget. Well, he is also the son of a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist! Well Ken, apples do fall from trees! Yeah, but this one bounced back! He served on the committee that awarded Van Jones "The Maurice Sugar Voice for Justice Award" for "Human Rights Activists and Green jobs Advocate". Yeah, that Van Jones!

There must be someoone on the Council will management experience taht will lend itself to a supply side economy with limited government. The good people of Detroit must be crying out for smaller government and lower taxes especially after all of the pain of GM and Chrysler being bought out by Obama Motors. Guest five: Brenda B. Jones. She's the former President of Communications Workers of America. Member of the NAACP and the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights. She can certainly recognize a special interest. She also served on the committee that awarded Van Jones"The Maurice Sugar Voice for Justice Award" for "Human Rights Activists and Green jobs Advocate". Yeah, that Van Jones! Guest six: Andre Spivey. A Morehouse Man. Like Dr. King. He did not serve on the Van Jones Committee. However, Ponsella Hardaway did. Why does this matter? Hardaway is the Executive Director of MOSES. Spivey sits on the Board of MOSES. It is the Metropolitan Organizing Strategy Enabling Strength and its purpose is to act on issues that have a systemic impact on the quality of life in the community and social justice. They believe in the Equitable allocation and distribution of public funds. MOSES, not the one played by Charleston Heston, is affiliated with Gamaliel Foundation. Barack Obama was trained by the Sol Alinsky-founded Gamaliel Foundation. This is the Foundation that is fighting against Wisconsin legislation that would make it illegal to pay a person to sign a petition. Wow, a Christian organization fighting for Voter Fraud. No collection here! This church is paying! Guest seven: James Tate. his campaign material made it very plain: PRO-UNION! He understands teh importance of unions. Guest eight: Councilman Kwame Kenyatta faced foreclosure and walked away in 2008. He had more important things to do like meet with Venezuela's envoy to the United States, Ambassador Bernado Alvarez Herrera. He was joined by JoAnn Watson (she will be our last guest), Brenda Jones, Kwame Kenyatta, Martha Reeves and Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to discuss how to expand his country's programs that help the poor. By the end of the evening, the Detroit councilmembers had convinced the Ambassador that they were the needy ones. The Ambassador announced a new program to extend the free eye surgery begun by Cuba to the US Midwest. O goody, have a pop and a smile! The Cubans with the help of the Venezueleans are bringin their health program to our shores. It's probably covered under ObamaCare! Who else was in attendance to celebrate the outpouring of help from one socialist nation to a socialist city? Howabout the International Action Center (IAC). Per the website: "The IAC strives to draw from the leadership, connect the struggles, and bring together communities of color, women, lesbian, gay, bi and trans people, youth and students, immigrant and workers' organizations in order build a progressive movement for social justice and change. Ultimately it is our goal to work towards the liberation and freedom of all peoples living in the U.S. and around the world. IAC defines itself as an "anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist" organization." Just what the motor city needs, a people committed to shutting it down. Not finished! Howabout Latinos Unidos / United de Michigan (LUUM)? While their site is no longer operative, it was once reported that their goal was "to inform about the inhumane raids, home intrusions, racial profiling and other atrocities perpetuated by the Federal Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (FBICE) upon our immigrant communities in Michigan and throughout the US". Maybe that is why Detroit is a sanctuary city. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Detroit has got to be the exception to the rule. There has to be someone on the Council that understands that liberal good intentions inflate costs and expenses for a city. Michigan's preliminary review found that the city had failed to adjust annual budgets in the face of declining revenues and/or increased expenditures, has recurring fund deficits of more than $100 million and failed to file an adequate or approved Deficit Elimination Plan. The state says the city has budgetary shortfalls that could lead to a negative cash balance as early as April, 2012.There must be someone that understands the kinetic framework of free markets and seeks only the best for small businesses America's wealth creation machine. Uh Uh! Our final guest: Jo Ann Watson. The Michigan activist is an unrepentant socialist. She has sponsored more than 1,000 bills. Her bonafides include serving as Executive Director of the Detroit NAACP, Public Policy Liaison for Congressman John Conyers and Co-Founder of the Coalition for Health care Equity. She presented her book Reparations to Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama. She is sponsoring two Detroiters to study Medicine in Cuba and then, return to provide care to the City. She has a relationship with the Pro Cuban/North Korean Workers World Party. From June 14-17 2009, the Moratorium NOW!-initiated People's Summit was held at Grand Circus Park, Detroit, MI. A "tent city" was built at the location, and protesters camped there for four days of "Active Resistance, Political Discussion and Strategizing for a “People's Stimulus Plans” and an “Economic Bill of Rights” for Working People and the Poor." Moratorium NOW! is a Workers World Party-front organization. Do you really believe that these vigilante politicians have the citizens best interests in mind. I doubt it sincerely.

The Civil Rights Movement and the Dr. King icon are inseparable. How we see him will be based on which cultural philosophy we subscribe. If a modern American liberal (socialist, Marxist, communist, etc.) then, you will refer to his commitment to Theodore Roosevelt's preference for human welfare over property rights, Woodrow Wilson's call for limited government through government expansion and federal control, Franklin Roosevelt's Second Bill of Rights, John Kennedy's dreams of eradicating the human condition through government welfare and Lyndon Baines Johnson's welfare and bust legislated programs. Union leaders and race-baiting community organizers will point to his convictions on voting rights, gay rights, abortion rights and government entitlement. If a conservative, like his neice Alveda King, you wonder how the liberals were able to high jack the symbolism of universal, unalienable rights granted every man by his Creator from the iconic speaker. You can not recognize such a liberal Dr. King from all of the made for TV movies! You refer to his dire need for a multi-racial approach to harmonizing protests of injustice even as his bretheren lose faith in his "human race" concept. He expounded upon American values to include the vision of a color blind society in his 1963 speech "I have a Dream". His inspiration for one of the most beloved speeches in human history: Archibald Carey, Jr.'s address to the 1952 Republican National Convention and Prathia Hall's speech at the site of a burned-down church in Terrell County, Georgia in September 1962. We will be reminded that he was a great civil rights leader as evidenced by his efforts on the 1965 Montgomery Bus Boycot. The transit boycott of National City Lines, owned by General Motors, Standard Oil of California, Firestone and others is endeared by union leaders and race organizers as a political and social victory. As a conservative that appreciates the beauty of free markets, I recognize the brilliance of the financial starvation of a major corporation that monopolized city services due to a local government's decision to pick a winner. It really goes to show that the greatest threat of the Movement was not political or social but economics. Bet your child won't hear that in history class!

Nearly fifty years after his death, Dr. King is an enigma to many who only know the broad strokes of his life.. Doesn't the Poor People's Campaign of 1968 reveal flashes of Occupy Wall Street brilliance. Weary from his shunning by radical blacks, leftists community organizers and egalitarian sympathizers, he attempted to broach the immorality of war appropriations and Jim Crow segregation with federal government intervention. His frustration with an America that was not reacting quickly enough to a crisis led him to trust a political and economic philosophy that would not offer the Utopia sought or preferred. Dare say, maybe it was the only one available as literary critic Lionel Trilling once asserted.

In the United States at this time Liberalism is not only the dominant but even the sole intellectual tradition. For it is the plain fact that nowadays there are no conservative or reactionary ideas in general circulation. This does not mean, of course, that there is no impulse to conservatism or to reaction. Such impulses are certainly very strong, perhaps even stronger than most of us know. But the conservative impulse and the reactionary impulse do not, with some isolated and some ecclesiastical exceptions, express themselves in ideas but only in action or in irritable mental gestures which seek to resemble ideas.

Resist the impulse. Isn't this a tenet of non-violence? There were those that used his gift and his grace to increase in the daily lives of Americans prescribed general welfare and subsidy. A southern gentleman and scholar, grounded in the radical conservatism of his heritage and yet transformed in his "weary years" to a liberal icon without much clout amongst those that shaped his very image. In the end, American liberalism co-opted the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Economic Power Movement and our Political Aspirants. It also failed its greatest Peace icon.

"It is well that war is so terrible -- lest we should grow too fond of it." *Robert E. Lee*

They're dead, kaput, blotto, room temperature, pushing up opium poppies. DEAD!  Hey, maybe good old American brand urine helps to ward off blow flies and dung beetles. Really, how does a young Marine peeing on a guy he has just killed make the dead guy any more dead? Frankly, Marines, having won a victory in combat, marking that victory with a group leak on the bodies of their vanquished enemies is about six degrees more virtuous than anything you would see at at university frat party.

The images of four, young  United States Marines piddling on the carcasses of Taliban soldiers has seemingly ignited a firestorm of indignation across the globe. I assert that the "indignation" is feigned; a pathetic attempt by high-level politicians and media twits to appear politically correct and oh, so apologetic to Afghan sensibilities. Inwardly most Americans are cheering the act of young men who just won a victory in battle behaving like young men who just won a victory in battle.  The "sadness" expressed by John McCain is a load of hooey. Leon Panetta's knee-jerk call for a probe  into the urinating incident is political posturing from an administration sympathetic to our Islamic extremist enemies.  I don't need to go into the depth of depravity and danger presented by Taliban goons. I am simply defending young men being young men.

The Marines in question won a death defying fight against foes who would kill them in an instant, and their mothers, and their children if they had any, and would enslave their wives if they happened to live in Afghanistan. But above and beyond the victory over a depraved group of enemy combatants, this was the act of soldiers making the point that their enemies suffered a final and ignominious defeat.

Some have called this an "act of desecration."  The word "desecration" infers that something sacred has been violated. There is nothing sacred about the Taliban whom were justly taken out by our Marines. These young Marines were desecrating nothing.  They were simply warning others that an ugly fate awaits those who defy American forces.  The apparent ugliness of peeing on the bloody remains of an enemy is actually a pretty good deterrent to future acts of aggression by an adversary. Good old American brand urine may actually, in the long run, save lives.

Robert E. Lee stated that "It is well that war is so terrible -- lest we should grow too fond of it." It is a good thing that war is ugly. The sanitized and tentative war fought, not to win a decisive victory, but to minimize civilian casualties, is also the protracted, expensive, bloody, destructive, futile war.

Let victory be what it is, especially victory over a particularly venal enemy. Our military servicemen and women are in what is called "combat" on a regular basis. That means that there are grotesquely bad guys out there who will use any and all means to kill them, including strapping an explosive belt on a child and sending said child out as bait to the good guys who have an instinctive compassion for children. Islamic extremists use American tolerance and compassion against our soldiers, and our system of government.  When those bad guys kill our good guys, they will not only urinate on the bodies of dead Americans, they will drag them through the streets, separate their heads from their torsos, light them on fire, hang them from bridges, and pull them to pieces before a delighted audience of women, children, old men, and video cameras which will then upload the images of dismembered Americans to be broadcast on Al Jazeera and Youtube.

War necessitated by the actions of national enemies from whom the United States must be defended is not immoral. Men and women who fight and kill in the name of their country are not committing wrongful acts. They are conducting themselves morally within the framework of national conflict in a contest between good and evil, freedom and oppression, life and death. It is not wrong to fight to win an authentic war, in all its blood, dirt, pain, and intensity. It is wrong to pretend that war is not war. Brothers and sisters, we are at war. Marines marking a victory by humiliating further their adversaries, dead and living, by urinating on their corpses is no more than an exclamation point to the sentence of death to barbaric and bloodthirsty foes.

Could this be true in America today?

Posted on News With Views-By Pastor Roger Anghis, NewsWithViews.com-On
January 15, 2012:


“I have seen over the last 50 years a growing lack of willingness of the population to be involved in current events. My late step-father forced me to keep up on current events. He was a legal immigrant from Greece and served in WWI and WWII. He almost never talked about his native country because they had gone so far to the left. His new home was America and that’s what he talked about. He told me the proudest day of his life was when he received his citizenship. He knew from experience that the average citizen had to pay attention to what government was doing or the government would begin to ignore the people and do what they wanted to do. We are there!

Citizens no longer pay much attention to what our politicians do and because of that we have lost many of the rights and privileges that our Founders spilled their blood for. I remember thinking to myself about hearing some of the things that government was trying to do and thought that that could never happen in America. Then I woke up. It not only could, but it was happening right before my eyes. When I began to study how this was happening I found that most people no longer pay attention to what Washington is doing.

There used to be a day when men and women conducted their lives and businesses with honor and integrity. A man’s word was his bond. I’m old enough to remember the tail end of those days. One of my grandfathers only had a 4^th grade education but he was a licensed, self taught electrician and engineer. He designed and installed all the irrigation systems 20 mile on each side of the Grand Coulee Dam, which he helped build. He never worked off a written contract. It was a hand shake. Many of his jobs were in the tens of thousands of dollars but he was never given the ‘short end of the stick’. Even the people he dealt with were honest people.

America has been known as the land of opportunity to the world. America always has been and will continue to be the land of opportunity as long as we, the American people continue to demand that our politicians, business owners and individuals alike live by the character examples set out by our Founders. It is only those character traits that will keep America the land of liberty. Without an honest character there can be no true liberty.

Here are a few quotes from the Founders concerning character and how they placed a man’s character above everything:

Andrew Jackson - Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.

Benjamin Harrison - The indiscriminate denunciation of the rich is mischievous.... No poor man was ever made richer or happier by it. It is quite as illogical to despise a man because he is rich as because he is poor. Not what a man has, but what he is, settles his class. We can not right matters by taking from one what he has honestly acquired to bestow upon another what he has not earned.”

Daniel Webster - I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe... Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.

James Madison - ‘We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for Self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to The Ten Commandments of God. John Quincy Adams - Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

George Washington - “Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.”

John Adams - “Judges, therefore, should be always men of learning and experience in the laws, of exemplary morals, great patience, calmness, coolness, and attention.

Their minds should not be distracted with jarring interests; they should not be dependent upon any man, or body of men.”

Noah Webster - “In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate—look to his character.”

Patrick Henry - Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation of freemen. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.

Sam Adams - He who is void of virtuous attachments in private life is, or very soon will be, void of all regard for his country. There is seldom an instance of a man guilty of betraying his country, who had not before lost the feeling of moral obligations in his private connections.

These men would have not stood for a member of the House of Representatives making the statement that they pay no attention to the Constitution when they write bills as did Rep. Pete Stark, a Democrat from California, did a few months back. Those words should have caused him to be arrested and tried for treason. No one did anything.

Our Founders designed a government that was to remain small. They knew that a large central government would end up being very controlling. We have allowed our government to become what our Founders did not want and even warned us about. Little by little we have allowed the government to encroach into our lives. They tell us what kind of food we can eat. They tell us when, where and how we can worship our God. They tell us what kind of cars we can drive. They tell us IF we can build a house on the land that we own. They tell us how big that house can be. All of these things were not part of the plans of the Founders. They were actually the things that they fought to be free of. They did not believe that any of those areas should be controlled by government.

The Tenth Amendment to our Constitution states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Deciding whether we should drink raw milk or pasteurized milk was never a part of the government’s definition of responsibilities, but they have taken that responsibility. Our First Amendment was designed to keep government out of our religious activities but now they tell us that we can pray here but not there and it has to be this kind of prayer and you can’t mention the Name of Jesus in it either. The government has no right nor does it have the authority to make that kind of a law, but they have taken that authority. But we’ve allowed them to take away our rights. We have seen our legislators grabbing a little more power with every session. I view every bill Congress proposes. I see one party, Democrat, that continually introduces bills that tax more, encroach into our lives more, regulate our private lives and our businesses more and push for a socialistic society. One person was talking to Ted Kennedy and stated that communism has never really been successful. Kennedy looked at him and stated: ’That’s because they haven’t had me to run it.’

Before you get all over me about ‘bashing’ the Democrat party let me state a few things. First, I used to be a Democrat. I came from a long line of Democrats. But I paid attention to what they were doing and after Jimmy Carter realized that the Democrat party was NOT out for the benefit of the American people. It was for power. Power for the Democrat party. Second, the Democrat party has allowed itself to be taken over by socialists. Norman Thomas, a socialist who ran for president six times under the Socialist Party of America made this statement: “The American people will never knowing adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform.” (Emphasis mine)

How did this happen? The same way we had 70 members of the Democrat Socialists Party in Congress in 2008. All but one of them are in the Democrat Party. Sixty nine of them in the House of Representatives, where all the spending bills originate and one Independent in the Senate. We voted them in because we did not look at their character. We did not pay attention to who they are or what they stood for. We have an avowed Marxist in the White House. Don’t write me letters about that either. I won’t read them. He says he’s a Christian but the so-called Christian church he attended for twenty years taught Black Liberation Theology, which is now where in scripture and has its foundation in Marxism. He cancels the day of prayer at the White House yet holds celebrations for the muslim holiday Ramadan. Christians don’t celebrate muslim holidays while ignoring Christian holidays.

America must wake up. America must begin to hold their elected officials accountable to the Constitution. America will no longer be America if, in this next general election, we don’t begin to make some changes in Washington. Big changes! The NDAA bill passed and signed into law effectively eliminates our Fourth Amendment. Ninety three Senators voted for that bill. All ninety three should be impeached for violating the Constitution. Obama should be impeached for signing it. But nothing has been done. Now Congress is working on an even more dangerous bill, “Enemy Expatriation Act.” Google it and see what you come up with.

Our nation was founded on individual freedoms, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Today the federal government is attempting to control us from the cradle to the grave ignoring the federal governments constitutional limitations. They tell us that we have to buy insurance, what kind we can buy and what kind of coverage we will have. If we are too old, you won’t get the medical care you need. That is NOT the America the Washington, Adams and Jefferson established.

re we seeing the last of the American experiment simply because people are too lazy to demand moral people of high character be elected? Yes! Will that trend continue? I hope not. I hope that what Obama has done to America and the threat to our great nation has become so obvious that we will look more closely at those we put in authority over us. If we don’t we might as well turn out the lights because it will be over.

I cannot help but think about what Daniel Webster said concerning the integrity of our nation. “I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe... Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.” (Emphasis mine)

The fate of America is in our hands.”

“Food For Thought”

God Bless the U.S.A.!

Semper Fi!

Jake

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow is an unapologetic, outspoken born-again Christian.  No politically correct, careful not to offend anyone, skirting around the issue of his faith for Tebow.  When interviewed after winning a game, Tebow says, "First, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Numerous pro athletes are Christians.  None have been so innocently bold about expressing their faith as Tebow.  It is as if when Tebow entered the national stage, he never got the memo sent by the left stating that God is banned from the public square, and anyone who dares speak of God will be branded a religious nutcase.  Tebow simply loves Jesus and sees no reason to hide it.  Thus, the left hopes that Tebow fails as a quarterback and a role model.

Oh, I just got a thought.  Wouldn't the mainstream media be celebrating and rallying around Tebow if he proclaimed that he was in love with and planned to marry a fellow teammate?  Imagine the major TV network bidding war for the rights to broadcast the wedding nationwide.

Meanwhile, the left has deemed Tebow proclaiming his love for Jesus offensive.  A blogger called Tebow the most polarizing figure in America.  Several TV shows promote homosexuality.  Another TV show promotes Islam.  And yet, Tebow mentioning Jesus is considered polarizing.

Tebow is not polarizing/dividing people.  Tebow is bringing people together.  Remarkably, Tebow fans are all races, ranging in ages from eight to eighty.

Folks, I am telling you.  There is something uniquely special about this fine young man, Tim Tebow.  Cultural rot is eating away at our country like a terminal cancer.  Our boys aspire to look and act like thugs.  Women are dressing themselves and their daughters without modesty.

Unintentionally and, I believe, unknown to him, Tebow appears to be leading a movement toward a miracle cure: returning Christian values and principles from many years of exile.  More and more pro athletes and politicians are boldly speaking about their faith on national TV.  We are witnessing the birth of The Tebow Effect.

Tebow is making it cool to be a "good guy" again.  He has sparked a national dialog in the secular arena regarding faith.

Christian broadcasting networks do a wonderful job.  But rarely these days do we see anyone speak as comfortably and as matter-of-factly about his faith as Tebow in "secular" settings.  Tebow is not trying to start a movement, nor is he trying to offend.  The kid is simply being himself, and people are following his example.

God is so awesomely cool.  The Bible says God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.  Who could have imagined that God would use something as foolish as a twenty-something-year-old kid, playing football, having fun, and being himself, to inspire millions?

Tragically, many Americans have accepted incidents of terminating a sixty-year tradition of opening their town's spring festival or city council meeting with prayer because one person complained.  Many have accepted their children being forced to say "happy winter break" because "Christmas" is declared to have offensive religious connotations.  At secular events where prayer is allowed, clergy are cautioned to refrain from using the name of Jesus for fear of offending someone.  Yes, the left has done a pretty good job of intimidating Christians into not honoring Jesus in secular settings.

Then, along comes this superstar football player cheerfully spouting the name of Jesus all over the place.  The anti-Christian crowd who thought they had us Christians securely under their thumb are furious.  Who does this Tebow guy think he is, and does he know the rules?

I believe that Tebow is passively leading us back to a time when all things Christian were not attacked, demeaned, ridiculed, or made fun of.  Many years ago, secular companies produced movies like Boys Town, in which Father Flanagan was the hero.  Nowadays, though, can you name a recent movie produced by a secular company which features Christians in a positive light?  Remember the grief Mel Gibson caught from the anti-Christian community for following the biblical account of events in producing his movie, The Passion of The Christ?

When I was a kid, my family loved watching the Red Skelton TV comedy show.  Skelton would end every show saying, "Good night and may God bless."  Today, letters from a few non-Christians claiming to be offended would prompt the show producers to instruct Skelton to cease ending his show with a "prayer."

Tebow represents a paradigm change -- a new sense of freedom to say "Praise God!" in secular settings.  I love it!

The 2nd district has been split.  the mostly unpopulated  (conservative) part of the 2nd has been redistricted to become the 1st.  John Koster is now running pretty much uncontested there.

The remainder of the 2nd district mainly liberal is still needing someone to run against Rick Larson.  Any ideas?

Pissing on Corpses – I wish our President would have the guts to tell the world this:

“Don’t make me come over there! When we land, we are going to shoot anyone and everyone who resists us. We are going to piss on every corpse, and then were going to take a dump in your city hall, right on the Governor chair. We are going to teach your people to smoke cigarettes and love Rock N Roll. We are going to take all the minerals out of your soil, drain all your oil reserves, drink all your water, eat all your food and take anything of value back to America.

We are going to take your currency and burn it in the town square, drink all your alcohol and teach birth control to your society so ‘your people’ will come to the point of extinction in one generation. Then we are going to teach English to everyone in your nation and make them dependent on America for everything, including the air they breathe. But of course we won’t stop there. We are going to fill your streets with hundreds of thousands of bicycles ridden by students from the LDS Church. They’ll go to every door, ring every bell, then I’ll send in the Baptists ….and that is only the first wave of our troops.

So…. If I were you, don’t me come over there! Got it! Any questions?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If America would have taken a position like this along time ago we would have saved a lot of lives. I guess everyone has forgotten the term: 'DON'T TREAD ON ME'

So, should we take a harder stance against our enemies or punish the Marines who did the pissing?

Right ON!!

Posted on Family Security Matters-By Ralph Peters-On January 14, 2012:

“A few Marines in Afghanistan did a really dumb thing: They emptied their “short arms” on a trio of Taliban corpses. The act was unacceptable. It was against military regulations and constituted a minor—very minor—infringement of the Geneva Convention. Those Marines showed terrible judgment and should receive appropriate “non-judicial punishment” that will impact their careers. If a non-commissioned officer was involved, his career should end.

But that’s all, folks. This was not an atrocity. No terrorists were harmed in the making of that video. Defiling enemy corpses is wrong, but it’s not murder, torture, rape or any other crime against a living human being. Nonetheless politically correct Washington went into manic-panic mode the moment the news broke about that video. Everybody, from the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs on down rushed to issue public apologies. A high-level investigation (aka “witch hunt”) has been ordered, but the decision’s already been made to hang those Marines and their chain of command. Our military just bent over: Not a word about how remarkably honorable and disciplined hundreds of thousands of our troops have been, and not a word about the Taliban’s very real atrocities.

Of course, President Karzai of Afghanistan condemned the leaky-Marines video as monstrous. He’s mum on Taliban massacres, suicide bombings and torture, though. Our own administration’s fear was that the literal pissing contest would derail the negotiations all the president’s men have begged the Taliban to enter into so we can have “peace with honor” and get out of Saigon. Sorry: I meant “Kabul.”

But the most grotesque and reprehensible behavior has been that of our own media. I’ve been stunned: Cynical though I am about many journalists and pseudo-journalists, I really didn’t think so many of them hated and despised our men and women in uniform so deeply at this point.

What I’ve seen and heard has been near-orgasmic delight in the opportunity to tear down our troops. The establishment media has reported this inexcusable, but decidedly minor incident as if it were a repeat of Vietnam’s My Lai massacre—if not of Nazi atrocities or the Holocaust entire. Nowhere on broadcast or cable television did I hear anyone put the incident into perspective and say, “Sometimes grunts do dumb stuff. The real story is how few such incidents there have been, how amazingly disciplined our troops are.”

Please consider a couple of things:

First, this urination-euphoria in the media has been covered more enthusiastically and with far more airtime than any act of military heroism in a decade of wars. The only time the media cover a heroic act by a soldier or Marine is when President Obama personally presents a medal and the White House press corps can focus on his role as “noble” commander-in-chief. Of course, homeless vets get some attention as a backdoor way to attack the military, and amputation stories meant to discourage enlistment are always big, but how many stories have you seen, heard or read about the amazing discipline of our troops under the grinding stresses of this kind of warfare? For all the media’s determination to show that our Soldiers and Marines are really a combination of rednecks and SS butchers, you can count the verified incidents of U.S. atrocities from two grueling conflicts on one hand—and that includes Abu Ghraib (the civilian-wrought atrocities by the civilian mercenaries our government hired are another matter).

And every atrocity charge against our troops has involved low-level actions by a handful of junior personnel. Contrary to the implications of leftwing propaganda, bad behavior has never been policy—not even at the platoon level. And guess what, folks? When you’ve got 100k to 150k troops on the ground, a few sociopaths or even psychopaths are going to pop up, no matter how thorough the vetting process and rigorous our discipline. That’s humanity. After all, the left’s darling of the moment, the traitorous and infinitely creepy PFC Bradley Manning, made it through. Of course, he has the media’s sympathy for betraying our country. Those combat Marines who risked their lives to fight the Taliban are going to be crucified, though.

In historical terms, the good comportment and discipline of our troops in our recent wars has been unprecedented. Well over a million service members rotated through Iraq and Afghanistan over the last decade—and the best the media can come up with to discredit them is a (literally) dumb-dick video of three or four Marines inappropriately celebrating a small victory over a savage enemy.

In thousands of years of recorded history, wars in which different civilizations collide and wars involving different racial or religious groups consistently have been the most brutal, strewn with appalling atrocities. We’ve defied the historical record. To a serious student of military history, the behavior of our troops in these wars has been astounding in its moral rigor and humanity—if anything, we’ve been too gentle too much of the time.

But the media care nothing for that. At last, they have another opportunity to portray our troops as sick thugs. And they’re reveling in it. Because the establishment media remain left-of-center in their biases, and the American left still hates our military. Oh, leftists have figured out that they can’t attack it head-on anymore and even that it pays to pretend to honor the troops now and then. But the left hates, despises and fears those who volunteer to defend them and their freedoms. Aging lefties—many now at executive levels in the media, or in honored emeritus situations—had their glory days during the Vietnam War.  They were able to portray themselves as heroes then, and we, the people, allowed ourselves to be gulled. Journalists became the story, with our troops as background color. An ill-managed war played into their hands, along with a ragged draft-era military.

Now we have a professional, volunteer force with unprecedented skills and solid discipline. It’s been terribly frustrating for reporters, who’ve been limited to explaining why they’re smarter than the occasional “real” general who actually tries to fight. Worse, the ambitious, media-adept generals have been able to con the media with politically correct nonsense, and some of the reporters and commentators are beginning to realize they were taken in. And they’re angry. On top of all that comes the Freudian fear that the pallid-professor type feels when he imagines a muscular warrior: It reminds me of that classic scene in the R&B bar in Animal House when Flounder cries, “The Negroes took our dates!” Those who never wore the uniform, but are consumed by intellectual vanity, fear that the Soldiers are going to take their dates (and we do). So the symbolism of those Marines waving their privates was all too perfect. Where’s Dr. Freud when we need him?

Let’s see how long the media continue to celebrate and exaggerate one stupid act by a couple of Marines. And let’s see if a single active-duty general has the decency to say, “Let’s get a grip. This was wrong, but it wasn’t the Katyn Massacre or the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto. We can handle those Marines, and now we’re going to move on.”

My prediction? Ain’t gonna happen. Political correctness and its commissars are in full control of our senior military leaders. It really has been horrifying to see top generals wet their pants because a few Marines peed on Taliban corpses. Come on, guys! Bad things happen in wars. By any reasonable standard, this is small potatoes (or tiny kebabs).

The pathetic truth is that our media want our troops to do awful things—not only because it makes a great story, but because it vindicates their life-choices. If you really want to put things in perspective, remember that all journalists are parasites (even the best of them): They live off the deeds and misfortunes of others. They get paid for being voyeurs. In war, they live on the battlefield’s leavings, just as they profit from crime in time of peace. Without brave men and women in uniform, they wouldn’t be able to make their bones as war correspondents. The fundamental problem here is jealousy (Freudian and otherwise). The journalists want to be the heroes, but want to pay the lowest possible dues in brief installments.

No one so far has attempted to explain the stresses of counterinsurgency operations, what it’s like to face an enemy who refuses to face you, but hides among civilians—and who engages in boundless cruelty and treachery not only against you, but against his own people.

What those Marines did was wrong. But the media’s delight in blowing up the story has been the real crime.”

“Many, many times I have been asked about armed resistance to national tyranny, leaving no doubt that those who want this to occur are ready, prepared and anxious to do so. Still others are very angry, but unwilling to commit to anything other than their own arguments and a belly full of Budweiser loudmouth. Agenda warriors wave the flag for their pet peeve but are unwilling to use their real names for anything other than a “Facebook” entry. I have been insulted by patio patriots who like rare steak, but don’t like the sight of blood. “Do something,” they shout, “but leave me alone. I don’t want to lose my internet service.”

Keep filing your taxes, vote for the lesser of two evils, complain about the price of gas, go to your do nothing church, watch the city council vote in one more Agenda 21 UN grab, send a donation to Human Rights watch and “Twitter” your life away. Then, write to me and brag about how you are doing everything you can to throw off the police state that has surrounded you. Devotion to stupidity, denial of truth, and deliverer of destruction has given you every right to be at the center of our devastation. Thank you for your clear dedication to encouraging all levels of government to strip you of every right passed on by inheritance from those who knew what those rights meant and paid the price for maintaining them. It all stopped with your REFUSAL to stand with the heroes of history and their on-going sacrifice to see to it that we lived in freedom and prosperity.

Police officers are telling me on a weekly basis that the ultimate confrontation between authority and the general population is the center of training. Lethal force will be used on a widespread application. The slightest resistance will be met with overwhelming force. Demotivation of the civilian population is their goal and it will be achieved quickly. Law enforcement expects surrender rates to be nearly 100% as examples will be made of resisters and no quarter given.

Military officers admit that they have been weeding out “weak” or overly sympathetic troops from the ranks so that order compliance will not be an issue. Congress enacted all of the precedent (unconstitutional) setting legislation to target you, persecute you, apprehend you, and incarcerate you indefinitely, for the crime of innocence, anti-government sentiments, your faith, your belief in the Bill of Rights, gold and silver money, natural supplements, buying raw foods, smoking, drinking soda, being overweight, speaking your mind, or owning a firearm. Am I exaggerating? You tell me. I cannot call a sodomite unnatural or a danger to my children. I cannot read Scripture on a public street without permits, and even then I am subject to arrest for being a public nuisance or disturbing the peace, yet gays and deviates march nude in the public streets---well, just because it is their right, you know.

I can be forced to take a vaccination, yet I cannot consume fresh, raw milk. I need six absolute proofs of identity to get a driver’s license, yet if I am an illegal alien, I can apply for and get social security within two weeks of my application. I can protest in the streets about gay rights, animal rights, tree rights, rock rights and predator wolf rights, but I cannot put a bumper sticker on my car that says, “Christian Bible Rights” or “Rights for the Unborn,” without being chased down, stopped, harassed or tasered by Fusion Center Cops, Homeland Security enforcers and corrupted Sheriffs.

You tell me! Is it way, way past time to resist or isn’t it? Have you come to a turning point or not? Have you surrendered to the government’s steel fist in your face or have you decided to pursue liberation? Clearly, the overwhelming evidence says that you will continue to do nothing what-so-ever to end this dastardly and ever increasing stranglehold on your country and your life.

I will not bore you with further examples and situations that you have heard thousands of times. It did not do any good then, and it will not do any good now. The die has been cast and I believe we have lost the struggle.

The government will continue to push you into the stockade until you simply cannot resist. They will eventually disarm you (the plans and strategy to do that are well rehearsed) and then complete the encirclement of America from within. People here will march up to the gates of the detention centers and asked to be let in. It will make all other subjugated people’s surrender in wars past look heroic. We deserve what we have done to ourselves. Do you yet disagree? Then show me a different America.

No new national effort is needed to get people together. What is needed is an agreement between the Tea Party folks, the Oath Keepers and many liberty minded organizations to dedicate what they are doing to an all out merging of efforts to pursue an “OPERATION LIBERATION” offensive as soon as local groups can meet to do so. A small contingent of men and women working with me over the past several weeks have committed to bringing this confidential plan into being. There are two or three methods to achieving this and it will require representatives from all of the state republics to come together for the framework of this effort to be revealed and enacted. The final plan has a state by state agenda that will liberate us from the tyranny of the federal legislative and judicial beast that dictates our lives and our destinies. That must end. We are engineering a solution. You must get on board. No excuses, no “let someone else do it,” no cowardly complaints and keyboard protests. YOU WANT A BETTER ANERICA, THEN GET GOING!

I will be speaking, by invitation, to Tea Party gatherings and Oath Keeper meetings across America by conference call, radio interviews, and in person public forums as they can be established. We are most serious about this and must move now to be heard before the fall elections. No delays, no excuses, no wait and see people need to be involved. This is, in my view, the last possible mans by which open rebellion, bloodshed and chaos can be avoided, if it can be avoided at all. It is worth the effort I assure you.

Please have your local or state wide Tea Party/Oath Keeper organizers contact me at greg@theheartlandusa.com or call my cell phone at 906-367-0505 daily from 6:45amCST to 45:45pmCST. We will try to fund the travel through those who can purchase the Castle Defense System available at our website. Donations for travel may be made at our postal address, P.O. Box 162, Sagola, MI 49881. We will do our best for this worthy effort.

Join us; please…………..we simply cannot go on like this. God is our refuge and our strength. You must be the sword and shield for our children’s future. NO ONE ELSE WILL DO IT.

The UN and its surrogates within the world governance crowd know America’s life is on the line. We must raise a wise citizenry concerning Godly living and seek those willing to get on their knees and begin again.

We have the plan, the organizations and the WILL. Can you step out and make this happen? The other side says never. Help us take them down.”

Organizations that favor global government, which would bring American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations or other international bodies:

• According to George Soros, “We need some global system of political decision-making. In short, we need a global society to support our global economy.” Consistent with this perspective, the Open Society Institute in 2008 gave $150,000 to the United Nations Foundation, which “works to broaden support for the UN through advocacy and public outreach.” Moreover, OSI is considered a “major” funder of the Coalition for an International Criminal Court, which aims to subordinate American criminal-justice procedures in certain cases to an international prosecutor who could initiate capricious or politically motivated prosecutions of U.S. officials and military officers.

Semper Fi!

Jake

New York times journalist and author Jodi Kantor recently authored a new book titled 'The Obamas'. The title alone hints of friendliness towards Barry and Michelle. Excerpts from the book were released that mentioned seemingly controversial actions taken by Michelle and/or staff members. The morsels of info mentioning Michelle's trivial questionable actions are far outweighed by glowing accounts of Michelle and Obama in the whitehouse.

The objective of this book was to neutralize the negative books written about the Obamas. However, after the trivial negative comments were leaked to the media anti-Obama people rushed out to buy and/or examine the book, only to find out it is actually a glowing account of the Obamas. The pro-Obama people have ignored the book thinking that it is a hatchet job on them.  So, what is the end result of this book?

Evidently there are more anti-Obama people than pro-Obama people as book sales of this book have been brisk, though of course buyers have been disappointed, having been duped into thinking they were buying an anti-Obama expose. Author Jodi cleverly created a ruse that demanded people bite on the premise that Michelle and Barry did some questionable things but the reader comes to the designed conclusion they are just wonderful people who really just love this country.

In sum, don't waste time either reading, and certainly not buying this Obama propaganda publication, that pulls you in thinking that it is exposing the Obama negatives but in reality accentuates a lot of phony positives.     

Right ON!!

Posted on WND.com-On January 13, 2012:

“The Defense Department and top Marine Corps brass responding to a video that apparently shows four U.S. Marines urinating on bloodied bodies in Afghanistan should be standing up for brave American warriors instead of kowtowing to radical Islamic lobby groups and Afghan leaders, says talk-radio host Michael Savage.

“What have the Taliban done to our troops? What have the Taliban done to the Afghanis? What are they responsible for in terms of human degradation?” Savage asked his “Savage Nation” listeners last night. “Why is our government punishing our Marines instead of saluting them?”

As military officials investigate the 39-second video, which surfaced amid attempts by Washington to engage in peace talks with the Taliban, U.S. officials already are condemning the Marines.

You’ve always known that “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder”: Get Savage Solutions

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who was said to be “deeply troubled” by the “utterly deplorable” video, telephoned Afghan President Hamid Karzai and vowed in a statement that those “found to have engaged in such conduct will be held accountable to the fullest extent.”

Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations – a D.C.-based group tied to a scheme to fund Hamas – faxed a letter to Panetta condemning “this apparent desecration of the dead as a violation of our nation’s military regulations and of international laws of war prohibiting such disgusting and immoral actions.”

Savage noted that CAIR “is the same hate group that overturned a law passed by the majority of people in Oklahoma” to ban consideration of international or Islamic law in the state’s courts.

“Apparently they were distressed that the Marines were not dead and that the Taliban was dead, and they got back at the Marines in any way they could,” Savage said of CAIR’s reaction.

Savage also took aim at the response of “cowardly” Marine Corps Commandant Gen. John Amos, who said in a statement the behavior shown in the video is “wholly inconsistent with the high standards of conduct and warrior ethos that we have demonstrated throughout our history” and that the Marine Corps remains “fully committed to upholding the Geneva Convention, the laws of war and our own core values.”

“I think one of your core values, General Amos, would be to be a general who supports your boys who you’ve put in harm’s way while you sit on your fat behind there in North Carolina,” Savage said.

Savage insisted there’s a better way to respond.

“And that is to say,” he suggested, “‘We don’t know what happened, however, we are U.S. Marines first, and we support our boys. Whatever happened in the heat of battle will be looked into. Now go away, and cover Newt Gingrich’s waistline. Leave us alone. Leave it to the military.’”

Savage noted there is little media coverage when Marines are mutilated.

“The Taliban are barbarians; they cut people’s heads off; they kill women and children. But, of course, there is no mention of any of that,” he said.

None other than a Taliban spokesman himself use the term “barbaric,” but it was to describe the scene of Marines urinating on bodies.

“No religion that follows a holy text would accept such conduct,” Qari Yousuf Ahmadi said via text message, according to CNN. “This inhuman act reveals their real face to the world.”

Karzai called on the U.S. government to investigate and issue the harshest punishment possible, calling the “act” by American soldiers “simply inhuman and condemnable in the strongest possible terms.”

Savage wondered, “If we strip away all of the brave ones, who will be left?”

“What kind of men would have the guts to enlist in the Marine Corps to begin with – to choose to go into combat against these 15^th-century throwbacks and to face them eye to eye, man to man, blade to blade, gun to gun, bullet for bullet?” he asked.

“And we’re supposed to expect nice guys like Wolf Blitzer to enlist in the military?” Savage asked, referring to the CNN host.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is the lead investigative agency, CNN reported, citing a U.S. official who said the desecration of a body by U.S. troops could be considered a potential war crime.

Savage summed up for his listeners the fate of the four Marines.

“Should they be given a medal or a court martial in this cowardly new world we live in where the generals throw their boys overboard … to the wolves of the media?”

I. Muslim hate group wants Marines punished for not dying in battle!

Posted on The New York Post-By CHUCK BENNETT, Post Wire Services-On January 12, 2012:

“A shocking Internet video that appears to show four Marines urinating on the bloody corpses of three slain Taliban fighters sparked a Pentagon investigation yesterday.

The 39-second YouTube clip, which US military brass fears could trigger an angry backlash throughout the Muslim world, shows the Marines grinning and joking as they relieve themselves on the bodies.

“Allegations of Marines not doing the right thing in regard to dead Taliban insurgents are very serious and, if proven, represents a failure to adhere to the high standards expected of American military personnel,” said Marine Corps spokesman Lt. Col. Stewart Upton.

The Naval Criminal Investigation Service, the Navy’s worldwide law-enforcement arm, is in charge of the investigation.

In a statement, the Marine Corps said it has yet to verify the origin or authenticity of the video, but the “actions portrayed are not consistent with our core values.”

Military law forbids troops from desecrating corpses, and violators can be subject to court-martial.

One Marine in the video exclaims an exaggerated “yeah!” as he urinates on a corpse lying on the dirt next to an overturned wheelbarrow.

Next to him, another Marine jokes, “Have a great day, buddy” and a third can be heard saying, “Golden, like a shower.”

All four Marines are dressed for combat, wearing helmets, body armor and grenades. One man is holding a precision sniper rifle. They are wearing sunglasses, but their faces are clearly visible. It’s unclear if they knew they were being recorded, but they appear at times to stare directly at the camera.

The Council on Islamic-American Relations, a Muslim civil- rights groups, demanded that the Pentagon take swift action.

“We condemn this apparent desecration of the dead as a violation of our nation’s military regulations and of international laws of war prohibiting such disgusting and immoral actions,” the group wrote in a letter to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.

The group further warned that worldwide reaction to the video “could ultimately endanger other soldiers and civilians.”

It’s unclear who posted the video, which went online yesterday.”

II. Dumb Marines, Delighted Media: ‘The Left’s nostalgia for My Lai is forever!’

Posted on Family Security Matters-By Ralph Peters-On January 14, 2012:

“A few Marines in Afghanistan did a really dumb thing: They emptied their “short arms” on a trio of Taliban corpses. The act was unacceptable. It was against military regulations and constituted a minor—very minor—infringement of the Geneva Convention. Those Marines showed terrible judgment and should receive appropriate “non-judicial punishment” that will impact their careers. If a non-commissioned officer was involved, his career should end.

But that’s all, folks. This was not an atrocity. No terrorists were harmed in the making of that video. Defiling enemy corpses is wrong, but it’s not murder, torture, rape or any other crime against a living human being. Nonetheless politically correct Washington went into manic-panic mode the moment the news broke about that video. Everybody, from the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs on down rushed to issue public apologies. A high-level investigation (aka “witch hunt”) has been ordered, but the decision’s already been made to hang those Marines and their chain of command. Our military just bent over: Not a word about how remarkably honorable and disciplined hundreds of thousands of our troops have been, and not a word about the Taliban’s very real atrocities.

Of course, President Karzai of Afghanistan condemned the leaky-Marines video as monstrous. He’s mum on Taliban massacres, suicide bombings and torture, though. Our own administration’s fear was that the literal pissing contest would derail the negotiations all the president’s men have begged the Taliban to enter into so we can have “peace with honor” and get out of Saigon. Sorry: I meant “Kabul.”

But the most grotesque and reprehensible behavior has been that of our own media. I’ve been stunned: Cynical though I am about many journalists and pseudo-journalists, I really didn’t think so many of them hated and despised our men and women in uniform so deeply at this point.

What I’ve seen and heard has been near-orgasmic delight in the opportunity to tear down our troops. The establishment media has reported this inexcusable, but decidedly minor incident as if it were a repeat of Vietnam’s My Lai massacre—if not of Nazi atrocities or the Holocaust entire. Nowhere on broadcast or cable television did I hear anyone put the incident into perspective and say, “Sometimes grunts do dumb stuff. The real story is how few such incidents there have been, how amazingly disciplined our troops are.”

Please consider a couple of things:

First, this urination-euphoria in the media has been covered more enthusiastically and with far more airtime than any act of military heroism in a decade of wars. The only time the media cover a heroic act by a soldier or Marine is when President Obama personally presents a medal and the White House press corps can focus on his role as “noble” commander-in-chief. Of course, homeless vets get some attention as a backdoor way to attack the military, and amputation stories meant to discourage enlistment are always big, but how many stories have you seen, heard or read about the amazing discipline of our troops under the grinding stresses of this kind of warfare? For all the media’s determination to show that our Soldiers and Marines are really a combination of rednecks and SS butchers, you can count the verified incidents of U.S. atrocities from two grueling conflicts on one hand—and that includes Abu Ghraib (the civilian-wrought atrocities by the civilian mercenaries our government hired are another matter).

And every atrocity charge against our troops has involved low-level actions by a handful of junior personnel. Contrary to the implications of leftwing propaganda, bad behavior has never been policy—not even at the platoon level. And guess what, folks? When you’ve got 100k to 150k troops on the ground, a few sociopaths or even psychopaths are going to pop up, no matter how thorough the vetting process and rigorous our discipline. That’s humanity. After all, the left’s darling of the moment, the traitorous and infinitely creepy PFC Bradley Manning, made it through. Of course, he has the media’s sympathy for betraying our country. Those combat Marines who risked their lives to fight the Taliban are going to be crucified, though.

In historical terms, the good comportment and discipline of our troops in our recent wars has been unprecedented. Well over a million service members rotated through Iraq and Afghanistan over the last decade—and the best the media can come up with to discredit them is a (literally) dumb-dick video of three or four Marines inappropriately celebrating a small victory over a savage enemy.

In thousands of years of recorded history, wars in which different civilizations collide and wars involving different racial or religious groups consistently have been the most brutal, strewn with appalling atrocities. We’ve defied the historical record. To a serious student of military history, the behavior of our troops in these wars has been astounding in its moral rigor and humanity—if anything, we’ve been too gentle too much of the time.

But the media care nothing for that. At last, they have another opportunity to portray our troops as sick thugs. And they’re reveling in it. Because the establishment media remain left-of-center in their biases, and the American left still hates our military. Oh, leftists have figured out that they can’t attack it head-on anymore and even that it pays to pretend to honor the troops now and then. But the left hates, despises and fears those who volunteer to defend them and their freedoms. Aging lefties—many now at executive levels in the media, or in honored emeritus situations—had their glory days during the Vietnam War.  They were able to portray themselves as heroes then, and we, the people, allowed ourselves to be gulled. Journalists became the story, with our troops as background color. An ill-managed war played into their hands, along with a ragged draft-era military.

Now we have a professional, volunteer force with unprecedented skills and solid discipline. It’s been terribly frustrating for reporters, who’ve been limited to explaining why they’re smarter than the occasional “real” general who actually tries to fight. Worse, the ambitious, media-adept generals have been able to con the media with politically correct nonsense, and some of the reporters and commentators are beginning to realize they were taken in. And they’re angry. On top of all that comes the Freudian fear that the pallid-professor type feels when he imagines a muscular warrior: It reminds me of that classic scene in the R&B bar in Animal House when Flounder cries, “The Negroes took our dates!” Those who never wore the uniform, but are consumed by intellectual vanity, fear that the Soldiers are going to take their dates (and we do). So the symbolism of those Marines waving their privates was all too perfect. Where’s Dr. Freud when we need him?

Let’s see how long the media continue to celebrate and exaggerate one stupid act by a couple of Marines. And let’s see if a single active-duty general has the decency to say, “Let’s get a grip. This was wrong, but it wasn’t the Katyn Massacre or the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto. We can handle those Marines, and now we’re going to move on.”

My prediction? Ain’t gonna happen. Political correctness and its commissars are in full control of our senior military leaders. It really has been horrifying to see top generals wet their pants because a few Marines peed on Taliban corpses. Come on, guys! Bad things happen in wars. By any reasonable standard, this is small potatoes (or tiny kebabs).

The pathetic truth is that our media want our troops to do awful things—not only because it makes a great story, but because it vindicates their life-choices. If you really want to put things in perspective, remember that all journalists are parasites (even the best of them): They live off the deeds and misfortunes of others. They get paid for being voyeurs. In war, they live on the battlefield’s leavings, just as they profit from crime in time of peace. Without brave men and women in uniform, they wouldn’t be able to make their bones as war correspondents. The fundamental problem here is jealousy (Freudian and otherwise). The journalists want to be the heroes, but want to pay the lowest possible dues in brief installments.

No one so far has attempted to explain the stresses of counterinsurgency operations, what it’s like to face an enemy who refuses to face you, but hides among civilians—and who engages in boundless cruelty and treachery not only against you, but against his own people.

What those Marines did was wrong. But the media’s delight in blowing up the story has been the real crime.”

THANK YE KINDLY

Posted on American Thinker-By Steve McCann-On January 6, 2012:

“The mask is fully off.  Barack Obama is the most corrupt, power-mad president in this nation’s illustrious history.  By his actions in bypassing Congress and making appointments that should be subject to Senate approval while the Senate is still in session and innumerable extra-constitutional actions since he became president, he is following in the footsteps of the despots who dominated the 20^th century.

In late September of 2008, it became clear to me that Barack Obama would be elected president.  Based on his background, education, motivation, and indoctrination, I saw a man who could single-handedly destroy the country and someone with no respect for the history, the Constitution, or the people of the United States.  The specter of a megalomaniac who was a stranger to the truth and would or say or do anything to achieve or retain power overcame me.  In Barack Obama and his fellow travelers, I saw what I feared the most since I came to this country: a person and a political mindset that would, if allowed, spell the end of the noblest experiment in the history of mankind.

It was at that point that I wrote my first article for American Thinker in an attempt to warn the people of America that the result of the 2008 election would be critical to the nation’s survival.  This was the first column I had written since my college days over 40+ years before, and I am eternally grateful to AT for publishing it and giving me a forum to speak to the American people.

I had to survive a war that was precipitated by those who were initially elected by the people in a democratic fashion.  Yet once in power, they began to systematically usurp and overthrow the rule of law.  Their lust for power led them to shred any written constitution or traditions as they systematically imposed new regulations, laws, and executive orders geared primarily to centralize authority in the government as individual rights and liberties were extinguished.  In due course, they and their cronies became the government, as the people were powerless to stop them.

The people of Germany, the most advanced society in continental Europe, or Italy in the first four years of the 1930s, would have found it incredible to imagine what became of those countries by 1945.  They would not think it even remotely possible.   

The history of the United States and its traditions of liberty and individual freedom should be a bulwark against the successful emergence of people like Obama and his cronies.  Yet why are the media, or the opposition party, or the members of Congress or the judiciary not shouting from the highest hilltop and taking action to stop these power-grabs?  Has this country enjoyed peace and prosperity so long that everyone is jaded and preoccupied with him- or herself, or in a self-induced stupor either ignoring what’s happening or saying that these unconstitutional steps are minor?  Is it because Obama happens to have black skin and everyone is too intimidated by political correctness to speak?  Or is it as it was in Germany, Italy, and Russia among many—a belief that the worst could never happen here?

I have seen and experienced the worst that man can offer, I am not intimidated, and I will say without reservation that Barack Obama and his cronies have the same mindset in their tactical approach, philosophy, and lust for power that was extant in Benito Mussolini and the Fascists in the early days of their regime.  If the apologists for those in power in Washington want to vilify me for that comparison, so be it.

To the American people, it is far beyond time to wake up to who this man in the White House is and what his ambitions are.  As for the Republicans in the Congress or running for office, the task is upon your shoulders to stop Barack Obama in his tracks before he goes any farther.  It is time to do your sworn duty to preserve and protect the country.  And for the Democrats who are so blinded by party loyalty that they would sell their country for the proverbial thirty pieces of silver, the long-term difficulties and potential downfall of the greatest nation on earth will be your legacy.”

There has been a war of worldviews taking place in this country that began before you and I were born. Exactly when it began is a matter for debate. However, in the last half of the 20th Century there are battles that are as important and instructive as retrospectives on Antietam or the Battle of Midway. Unlike wars like the Civil War and WWII, the war of worldviews continues to rage in this country and around the world. Territories are taken and lost but as long as mankind lives, the war will continue.

YOUR PLAYING POLITICS AND COSTING US MONEY AT THE PUMP.  WE PUT YOU IN POWER NOT YOU, LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO PUT YOU IN POWER. WE THE PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN YOU WILL EVER BE.  ITS SOCIALISM.

How convenient that this video comes out now!

Posted on US Today-By James K. Sanborn and Tom Vanden Brook, USA TODAY-On January 12, 2012:

“The Marines and the Obama administration promised a full investigation into a video that purports to depict four U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters, images that could be used as propaganda by America’s enemies, experts say.

“The behavior depicted in the video is wholly inconsistent with the high standards of conduct and warrior ethos that we have demonstrated throughout our history,” said Gen. James Amos, the Marine Corps commandant.

Amos requested that the Naval Criminal Investigative Service pull together a team “to thoroughly investigate every aspect of the filmed event.”

STORY: Video allegedly shows Marines urinating on dead Taliban

STORY: Taliban: Afghan talks won’t mean end to fighting

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta phoned Afghan President Hamid Karzai and promised a full investigation. Panetta said such behavior is “entirely inappropriate for members of the United States military” and those responsible will be held accountable. Karzai called the actions “completely inhumane.”

At least two of the four men have been identified as Marines based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., the Associated Press reported, citing a Marine official who spoke on condition of anonymity because there is a criminal investigation. It was not clear when the video was taken.

The images may be used by the Taliban to convince Afghans that Americans disrespect Islamic traditions, said Richard Kohn, professor emeritus at the University of North Carolina and a military historian. But the effect will probably be limited, particularly among the American public.

“These things happen unfortunately,” Kohn said. “These are young kids under stress. They do stupid things and don’t realize the consequences. The American people have a great deal of affection and respect for the military and understand that bad things happen in war.”

The act violates the Geneva Conventions governing conduct in war, said Michael Newton, a law professor at Vanderbilt University. The conventions outlaw the desecration of war dead.

“The law of war has long made this a war crime in all circumstances during all types of conflicts - and we prosecuted people after World War II for situations like this,” Newton said.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said, “We strongly condemn this inhumane action by the wild American soldiers.”

The incident is common in war, especially in units that lack strong leadership, said Andrew Exum, a military analyst at the Center for a New American Security who led Army units in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Politicians and average Americans think the world of U.S. Marines and soldiers for good reason,” Exum said. “But they need to see war as it is, not the sanitized version” portrayed in Hollywood films.

Young troops in a foreign country who don’t understand the language or culture, experiencing combat stress and lacking strong sergeants and officers, “will do stupid things,” he said. “There’s no excuse for it.”

The video shows four men in Marine uniforms standing over bloodied corpses and urinating on them. One man says, “Have a great day, buddy.”

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said he was “deeply disturbed” by the actions depicted in the video.

“Actions like those are not only illegal but are contrary to the values of a professional military and serve to erode the reputation of our joint force,” he said.

There have been other highly publicized incidents of misconduct involving U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The most damaging occurred at the prison in Abu Ghraib in Iraq in which U.S. troops took photos of prisoners being humiliated and abused.

In Afghanistan, a rogue group of U.S. soldiers killed unarmed civilians and cut fingers and a tooth from the corpses for souvenirs in 2010.

The leader of the group was convicted of murder in November by a military court.

Atrocities by U.S. troops against their enemies in World War II have also been documented, Exum said. Those received less attention at the time, in part, because communication technology didn’t exist to rocket images around the world in an instant.

The video of the Marines will probably have a minimal effect on the war in Afghanistan, Exum said. The Taliban has spread worse falsehoods about U.S. troops and seems interested in entering peace talks.

“I don’t think it’s going to endanger the war effort,” Exum said. “The die is cast.”

Amos said he has assigned a Marine general officer and a senior attorney with extensive combat experience to head a preliminary inquiry.

“Rest assured that the institution of the Marine Corps will not rest until the allegations and the events surrounding them have been resolved,” Amos said.

A caption beneath the video identifies the men as members of a scout sniper team assigned to 3^rd Battalion, 2^nd Marines, out of Camp Lejeune. That infantry battalion returned to Camp Lejeune in September and October from a standard seven-month deployment to Afghanistan’s Helmand province. Its Marines saw intense action in and around Musa Qala, a violent district in northern Helmand.

Sen. John McCain, a Navy veteran who fought and was held prisoner in the Vietnam War, said the incident “makes me so sad.”

McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, called the Marine Corps one of America’s strongest institutions and said its image has apparently been tarnished by “a handful of obviously undisciplined people.”

Question:  Does the Geneva Convention Treaty apply to terrorists?

The Third Geneva Convention explicitly states that parties need not apply it to all conflicts, especially when the foes are not parties, and when enemies do not abide by its terms.

No terrorist group is a party to the Geneva Conventions.

They have not signed, much less ratified, those treaties.

Moreover, it is evident that Hamas, Hezbollah, and members of the global Al-Qaeda network spurn both the spirit and the letter of international treaties designed to ameliorate the cruelty of war.
