USA God Bless America Call

things you do not know. Jeremiah 33: 3
(NIV)
God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit reign
in our lives each day. If we all ask our Heavenly Father in
unison; he promises to answer us. God loves us so much, he
gave His only Son to us, as the sacrificial lamb. Through the
Holy Spirit we can do miracles God Himself wants accomplished,
but we must believe and worship Him with our unending love.
Pray for God to answer and tell us what needs to done to
accomplish a miracle on earth. Only God, Christ, and the Holy
Spirit, have the power to guide us. Watch the

This
is lengthy, but it's definitely well worth reading. It
clearly shows why the United States
of America's
war on terrorism is truly
justified.
America
Wake Up
Dan Ouimette Pensacola
Civitan February
19, 2003
"America, wake up!" That's what we think we
heard on the 11th of September 2001, and maybe it was, but I
think it should have been, "Get out of bed!" In fact, I think
the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979, and we have
continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few
more minutes of peaceful sleep since then.
It
was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going
through a religious and political upheaval when a group of
Iranian students attacked and seized the American Embassy in
Tehran. This seizure was an outright attack on American soil;
it was an attack that held the world's most powerful country
hostage and paralyzed a presidency. The attack on this
sovereign U.S. embassy set the stage for the events to follow
for the next 23 years.
America
was still reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience
and had a serious threat from the Soviet Union when
then-President Carter had to do something. He chose to conduct
a clandestine raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended
in ruin but stood as a symbol of America's inability to deal
with terrorism. America's military had been decimated
and downsized
since the end of the Vietnam War. A poorly-trained,
poorly-equipped, and poorly-organized military was called on
to execute a complex mission that was doomed from the
start.
Shortly
after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped
and killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little
to protect her citizens living and working abroad. The attacks
against U.S. soil continued.
In
April 1983, a large vehicle packed with high explosives was
driven into the U.S. Embassy compound in Beirut. When it
exploded, it killed 63 people. The alarm went off again and
America hit the snooze button once more.
Then
just six short months later, a large truck heavily laden with
over 2,500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the
U.S. Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut. Two-hundred
forty-one U.S. servicemen were killed. America mourned her
dead and hit the snooze button once more.
Two
months later, in December 1983, another truck loaded with
explosives was driven into the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait, and
America continued her slumber.
The
following year, in September 1984, a van was driven into the
gates of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, and America
slept.
Soon,
the terrorism spread to Europe. In April 1985, a bomb exploded
in a restaurant frequented by U.S. soldiers in
Madrid.
Then in August, a Volkswagen loaded with
explosives was driven into the main gate of the U.S. Air Force
Base at Rhein-Main. Twenty-two were killed, and the
alarm was buzzing louder and louder as U.S. soil was
continually attacked.
Fifty-nine
days later, a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro, was hijacked,
and we watched as an American in a wheelchair was singled out
of the passenger list and
executed.
The
terrorists then shifted their tactics to bombing civilian
airliners when they bombed TWA Flight 840 in April 1986,
killing four. The most tragic bombing, that of Pan Am
Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988, killed
259.
America
wants to treat these terrorist acts as crimes; in fact, we are
still trying to bring these people to trial. These are
acts of war. The wake-up alarm is louder and
louder.
The
terrorists decided to bring the fight to America. In January
1993, two CIA agents were shot and killed as they entered CIA
Headquarters in Langley,
Virginia.
The
following month, February 1993, a group of terrorists were
arrested after a rented van packed with explosives was driven
into the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center
in New York City. Six people were killed and over 1,000 were
injured. Still, this is a crime and not an act of war? The
snooze button is pressed
again.
Then
in November 1995, a car bomb exploded at a U.S. military
complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing seven servicemen and
women.
A
few months later, in June 1996, another truck bomb exploded
only 35 yards from the U.S. military compound in Dhahran,
Saudi Arabia. It destroyed the Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force
barracks, killing 19 and injuring over
500.
The
terrorists are getting braver and smarter as they see that
America does not respond
decisively.
They
moved to coordinate their attacks in a simultaneous attack on
two U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. These attacks were
planned with precision. They killed 224. America responds with
cruise missile attacks and goes back to
sleep.
The
USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling
on October 12, 2000 when a small craft pulled alongside the
ship and exploded, killing 17 U.S. Navy sailors. Attacking a
U.S. war ship is an act of war, but we sent the FBI to
investigate the crime and went back to
sleep.
Of
course, you know the events of September 11, 2001. Most
Americans think this was the first attack against U.S. soil or
in America. How wrong they are. America has been under
constant attack since 1979, and we chose to hit the snooze
button and roll over and go back to
sleep.
In
the news lately, we have seen lots of finger-pointing from
every high official in
government over
what they knew and what they didn't know. But if you've read
the papers and paid a little attention, I think you can see
exactly what they knew. You don't have to be in the FBI or CIA
or on the National Security Council to see the pattern that
has been developing since
1979.
President
Bush is right when he says we are engaged in a war. I think we
have been in a war for the past 23 years, and it will continue
until we, as a people, decide enough is
enough.
America
has to get out of bed and act decisively now. America has
changed forever. We have to be ready to pay the price and make
the sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues. We cannot
afford to hit the snooze button again and roll over and go
back to sleep. We have to make the terrorists know that, in
the words of Admiral Yamamoto after the attack on Pearl Harbor
in 1941,
"all they have done is awakened a sleeping
giant."

A LESSON TO MY SON (Email
4/14/2003) Thanks JA, God Bless. by
A PROUD AMERICAN Irma S. Chambers

The other day, my nine
year old son wanted to know why we were at war. My
husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband
and I were in the Army during the Gulf War and we would be
honored to serve and defend our country again today. I
knew that my husband would give him a good
explanation.
My husband thought for a few minutes and
then told my son to go stand in our front living room window.
He told him:
"Son, stand there and tell me what you
see?"
"I see trees and cars and our neighbors houses,"
he replied.
"OK, now I want you to pretend that our
house and our yard is the United States of America and you are
President Bush."
Our son giggled and said
"OK."
"Now son, I want you to look out the window and
pretend that every house and yard on this block is a different
country," my husband said.
"OK Dad, I'm
pretending."
"Now I want you to stand there and look
out the window and see that man come out of his house with his
wife and he has her by the hair and is hitting her. You see
her bleeding and crying. He hits her in the face, he throws
her on the ground, then he starts to kick her to death. Their
children run out and are afraid to stop him, they are crying,
they are watching this but do nothing because they are kids
and afraid of their father. You see all of this son....what do
you do?"
"Dad?"
"What do you do
son?!"
"I call the police, Dad."
"OK. Pretend
that the police are the United Nations and they take your
call, listen to what you know and saw but they refuse to help.
What do you do then son?!"
"Dad, but the police are
supposed to help!" My son starts to whine.
"They don't
want to son, because they say that it is not their place or
your place to get involved and that you should stay out of
it," my husband says.
"But Dad...he killed her!!" my
son exclaims.
"I know he did...but the police tell you
to stay out of it. Now I want you to look out that window and
pretend you see our neighbor who you're pretending is Saddam
turn around and do the same thing to his
children."
"Daddy...he kills them?"
"Yes son, he
does. What do you do?"
"Well, if the police don't want
to help, I will go and ask my next door neighbor to help me
stop him," our son says.
"Son, our next door neighbor
sees what is happening and refuses to get involved as well. He
refuses to open the door and help you stop him," my husband
says.
"But Dad, I NEED help!!! I can't stop him by
myself!!"
"WHAT DO YOU DO SON?"
Our son starts
to cry.
"OK, no one wants to help you, the man across
the street saw you ask for help and saw that no one would help
you stop him. He stands taller and puffs out his chest. Guess
what he does next son?"
"What Daddy?"
"He walks
across the street to the old ladies house and breaks down her
door and drags her out, steals all her stuff and sets her
house on fire and then...he kills her. He turns around and
sees you standing in he window and laughs at you. WHAT DO YOU
DO?!!!"
"Daddy..."
"WHAT DO YOU
DO?!!!"
Our son is crying and he looks down and he
whispers, "I close the blinds, Daddy."
My husband looks
at our son with tears in his eyes and asks him...
"Why?"
"Because Daddy.....the police are supposed to
help...people who needs it....and they won't help....You
always say that neighbors are supposed to HELP neighbors, but
they won't help either...they won't help me stop him...I'm
afraid....I can't do it by myself...Daddy.....I can't look out
my window and just watch him do all these terrible things
and...and.....do nothing...so....I'm just going to close the
blinds....so I can't see what he's doing........and I'm going
to pretend that it is not happening."
I start to
cry.
My husband looks at our nine year old son standing
in the window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to
my husbands questions and he tells him...."Son"
"Yes,
Daddy."
"Open the blinds because that man....he's at
your front door..."WHAT DO YOU DO?!!!!"
My son looks at
his father, anger and defiance in his eyes. He balls up this
tiny fists and looks his father square in the eyes, without
hesitation he says: "I DEFEND MY FAMILY DAD!! I'M NOT GONNA
LET HIM HURT MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD!!! I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM,
DAD, I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM!!!!!"
I see a tear roll down
my husband's cheek and he grabs my son to his chest and hugs
him tight, and cries..."It's too late to fight him, he's too
strong and he's already at YOUR front door son.....you should
have stopped him BEFORE he killed his wife. You have to do
what's right, even if you have to do it alone,
before......it's too late," my husband whispers.
THAT
scenario I just gave you is WHY we are at war with Iraq. When
good men stand by and let evil happen is the greatest EVIL of
all. Our President is doing what is right. We, as a free
nation, must understand that this war is a war of humanity. WE
must remove this evil man from power so that we can continue
to live in a free world where we are not afraid to look out
our window and see crimes on humanity.
So that my nine
year old son won't grow up in a world where he feels that if
he just "closes" the blinds the atrocities in the world won't
affect him. Today the second day of "WAR on IRAQ" I felt
compelled to write this and pass it along. Hopefully, you will
understand the lesson my husband tried to teach our
son.
"YOU MUST NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT!
EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!" BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
BE PROUD OF OUR PRESIDENT! BE PROUD OF OUR TROOPS!! SUPPORT
THEM!!! SUPPORT AMERICA!! SO THAT IN THE FUTURE OUR CHILDREN
WILL NEVER HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR
BLINDS...."

This Pastor has guts!! 7/2003
Thought you might enjoy
this interesting prayer given in Kansas at opening session of
their Senate. It seems prayer still upsets some people.
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new
session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual
generalities, but this is what they heard. "Heavenly Father,
we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek
your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to
those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have
done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our
values. We confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth
of Your Word and called it Pluralism.
We have
exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have
rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed
our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists
and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline
our children and called it building self-esteem. We have
abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our
neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have
polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it
freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored
values of our forefathers and Called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and
know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us
free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been
sent to direct us to the center of Your will and to openly ask
these things in the name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus
Christ. Amen!"
The response was
immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the
prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian
Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000
phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.
The church is now receiving international requests for copies
of this prayer from India, Africa, and Korea. Commentator Paul
Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest of
the Story," and received a larger response to this program
than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may
this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become
our desire so that we again can be called "one nation under
God." If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends.
"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for
everything."
Think about this: if you
forward this prayer to everyone on your email list, in less
than 30 days it would be heard by the
world.

Subject: From a Romania Newspaper News
Editorial Clip
Sent Email: 09/25/2002 The United States rarely gets
a chance to see another country's editorial, written
presenting our country in a positive way, until this editorial
was written. When you think most countries in the world do not
appreciate, nor like the United States, the kind words in the
editorial reflect and speak of the American People, as we
really are. Even
if this is not a Romania Editorial, it does describe how our
Country joined and how we will continue to join and fight to
keep our freedom.

An Ode to
America
Why are Americans so
united? They do not resemble one another even if you
paint them! They speak all the languages of the world
and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations. Some
of them are nearly extinct, others are incompatible with one
another and in matters of religious beliefs, and not even God
can count how many there are.
Still, the American
tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on
the heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the
Army, nor the Secret Service of wrongdoing. Nobody
rushed to empty his or her bank accounts. Nobody rushed on the
streets nearby to gape about.
The Americans
volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand.
After the first moments of panic, they raised the flag on the
smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts, caps and ties in the
colors of the national flag. They placed flags on buildings
and cars as if in every place and on every car a minister or
the president was passing.
On every occasion, they
started singing their traditional song: "God Bless America!"
Silent as a rock, I watched the charity concert broadcast on
Saturday once, twice, three times, on different TV
channels. Celebrities that donated their talents were:
Clint Eastwood, Willie Nelson, Robert de Niro, Julia Roberts,
Cassius Clay, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Springsteen, Silvester
Stallone, James Wood, and many others whom no film producer
could ever bring together before.
The Americans'
solidarity spirit turned them into a choir. Actually,
choir is not the word. What you could hear was the heavy
artillery of the American soul. What neither George W.
Bush, nor Bill Clinton, nor Colin Powell could say without
facing the risk of stumbling over words and sounds, was being
heard in a great and unmistakable way in this charity concert.
I do not know how it happened that not all this
obsessive singing of America sounded croaky, nationalist, or
ostentatious! It made you green with envy because you
were not able to sing for your country without running the
risk of being named a chauvinist, ridiculous, or suspected of
who-knows-what.
I watched the live broadcast and the
rerun of its rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy
who went down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair
without knowing who she was. Additionally, of the Californian
hockey player, who fought with the terrorists and prevented
the plane from hitting a target that would have killed another
unknown number of people. How were they able to bow
before a fellow human? Imperceptibly, with every word
and musical note, the memory of some turned into a modern myth
of tragic heroes.
Moreover, with every phone call,
Americans donated millions and millions of dollars aimed at
rewarding not a man or a family, but a spirit that money
can not buy. What can unite the Americans in such a
way? Their land? Their galloping history?
Their economic power? Money? I tried for hours to
find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with risk
of sounding like common places. I thought things over,
but I reached only one conclusion. Only
“freedom” can work such miracles.

Fw: DO NOT
FORGET
- FROM A MARINE (Received Email 9/24/2002)
I sat in a movie theater
watching "Schindler's List," asked myself, "Why didn't the
Jews fight back?"
Now I know why.
I sat in a
movie theater, watching "Pearl Harbor" and asked myself, "Why
weren't we prepared?"
Now I know why.
Civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the
actions of evil people.
On September 11, 2001, dozens
of capable airplane passengers allowed themselves to be
overpowered by a handful of poorly armed terrorists because
they did not comprehend the depth of hatred that motivated
their captors.
On September 11, thousands of innocent
people were murdered, because too many Americans naively
reject the reality that some nations are dedicated to the
dominance of others. Many political pundits, pacifist's and
media personnel want us to forget the Carnage. They say we
must focus on the bravery of the rescuers and ignore the
cowardice of the killers. They implore us to understand the
motivation of the perpetrators. Major television stations have
announced they will assist the healing process by not
replaying devastating footage of the planes crashing into the
Twin Towers.
I will not be manipulated.
I will not pretend
to understand.
I will
not forget.
I will not forget
the liberal media who abused freedom
of the press to kick our country, when it was vulnerable and
hurting.
I will not forget that CBS anchor Dan Rather
preceded President Bush's address
to the nation with the snide remark,
"No matter how you feel about him, he is still our president."
I will not forget that ABC TV anchor Peter Jennings
questioned President Bush's motives for not returning
immediately to Washington, DC and commented, "We're all pretty
skeptical and cynical about Washington."
And I will
not forget that ABC's Mark Halperin warned if reporters
weren't informed of every little detail of this war, they
aren't "likely -- nor should they be expected -- to show
deference."
I will
not isolate myself from my fellow Americans by pretending an
attack on the USS Cole in Yemen was not an attack on the
United States of America.
I will not forget the Clinton
administration
equipped Islamic terrorists and their supporters with the
world's most sophisticated telecommunications equipment and
encryption technology, thereby compromising America's ability
to trace terrorist radio, cell phone, land lines, faxes and
modem communications.
I will not be appeased with
pointless, quick retaliatory strikes like those perfected by
the previous administration.
I will not be comforted
by "feel-good, do nothing" regulations like the silly "Have
your bags been under your control?" question at the airport.
I will not be influenced by so called, “antiwar
demonstrators" who exploit the right of expression to chant
anti-American obscenities.
I will not forget
the moral victory handed the North Vietnamese by American war
protesters who reviled and spat upon the returning soldiers,
airmen, sailors and Marines.
I
will not be softened by a dream of pacifist's who chose
reassurance over reality.
I will embrace the wise
words of Prime Minister Tony Blair who told Labor Party
conference, "They have no moral inhibition on the slaughter of
the innocent. If they could have murdered not 7,000 but
70,000, does anyone doubt they would have done so and rejoiced
in it?
There is no compromise possible with such
people, no meeting of minds, no point of understanding with
such terror. Just a choice: defeat it or be defeated by it.
And defeat it we must!"
I will force myself to:
-hear the weeping -feel the helplessness
-imagine the terror -sense the panic -smell the
burning flesh - experience the loss - remember the
hatred.
I sat in a movie theater, watching "Private
Ryan" and asked myself, "Where did they find the courage?"
Now I know.
We
have no choice. Living without liberty is not living.

Ed Evans, MGySgt., USMC (Ret.) Not as lean, Not as mean,
But still a Marine.
Keep this going until every living
American has read it and memorized it so
we do not make the same mistake again.

Immigrant
- This says it all!
Received email 3/8/03, ditto, received in 2002;
Thanks Cousin.

After hearing that the
state of Florida changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman
have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered
this is an editorial written by an American citizen, published
in a Tampa newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on,
please!
>IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I
am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are
offending some individual or their culture. Since the
terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in
patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust
from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically
correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that
our patriotism was offending others.
I am not against
immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is
seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is
almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However,
there are a few things that those who have recently come to
our country, and apparently some born here, need to
understand. This idea of America being a multicultural
community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our
national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our
own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This
culture has been developed over centuries of struggles,
trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have
sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish,
Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other
language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our
society, learn the language!
"In God We Trust" is our national
motto.
This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We
adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on
Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly
documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the
walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you
consider another part of the world as your new home, because
God is part of our culture.
If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't
like Uncle Sam,
then you should seriously consider a move to another part of
this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire
to change, and we really don't care how you did things where
you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our
lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right
to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity
to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and
griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our
way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one
other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. Please Leave
Now.
>AMEN

***************************************************************************
"I've been trying to say this since 9-11-2001. I guess I will
be labeled as a bigoted American!"

American
Airlines Pilot - Captain John
Maniscalco
9/30/2002
"You worry me. I
wish you did not. I wish when I walked down the streets
of this country that I love, that your color and culture still
blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this
country. However, you do not blend in anymore. I
notice you, and it worries me. I notice you because I
cannot help it anymore. People from your homelands,
professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my
fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years
now. I do not fully understand their grievances and
hate, but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of
their attacks.
"On September 11, nineteen ARAB-MUSLIMS
hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut the throats of
women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death
others. They took control of those planes and crashed
them into buildings, killing thousands of proud fathers,
loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best
friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and
children's mothers.
"So I notice you now. I do
not want to be worried. I do not want to be
consumed by the same rage, hate, and prejudice that have
destroyed the soul of these terrorists. Nevertheless, I need
your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my
country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must
know how to tell the difference between you and the
Arab/Muslim terrorist.
"How do I differentiate between
the true Arab-Muslim-Americans and the Arab-Muslims in our
communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our parks,
and living in OUR communities under the protection of OUR
constitution, while they plot the next attack that will
slaughter those very same good neighbors and children?
The events of September 11, 2001, changed the answer. It
is not my responsibility to determine which of you embraces
our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its
different citizens, with all of its faults. It is time
for every Arab-Muslim in this country to determine it for
me.
"I want to know, I demand to know, and I have a
right to know whether or not you love America. Do you
pledge allegiance to its flag? Do you proudly display it
in front of your house, or on your car? Do you pray in
your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation;
Allah will protect and prosper it?
"Or do you pray
that Allah will destroy it in one of your "Jihads"?
"Are you thankful for the freedom that only this
nation affords? A freedom paid for by the blood of
hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for
this country. Are you willing to preserve this freedom
by paying the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love America?
If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting
ME know about it.
"Your Muslim leaders in this nation
should be flooding the media at this time with hard facts on
your faith, and what hard actions you are taking as a
community and as a religion to protect the United States of
America.
"Please, no more benign overtures of regret
for the death of innocent victims, because I worry about who
you regard as innocent. In addition, no more benign
overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks, because
I worry about what is unprovoked to you? I am not
interested in any more sympathy...I am only interested in
action. What will you do for America -- our great country --
at this time of crisis, at this time of war?
"I want
to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the
streets. I want to hear you chanting "Allah Bless
America." I want to see young Arab-Muslim men enlisting
in the military. I want to see a commitment of money,
time, and emotion to the victims of this mass murder and
blatant butchering to this nation as a whole.
"The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to
talk to regarding the WTC attack. Many of these people live
and socialize in Muslim communities. You know them. You know
where they are. Hand them over to us, now!
"But
I have seen little even approaching this sort of action.
Instead, I have seen an already closed and secretive community
close even tighter. You have disappeared from the
streets. You have posted armed security guards at your
facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have
screamed for protection from reprisals.
"The very few
Arab-Muslim representatives that HAVE appeared in the media
were defensive and equivocating. They seemed more
concerned with making sure that the United States prove who
was responsible, before taking action. They seemed more
concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence
directed towards them in the United States and abroad than
they did with supporting our country and denouncing "leaders"
like Khadafi, Hussein, Farrakhan, and Arafat. "If the true
teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and love for
all people then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and
statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up.
What good is it if the teachings in the Koran are good, pure,
and true when your "leaders" are teaching fanatical
interpretations, terrorism, and intolerance?
"It
matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if large numbers of
the world's Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed
incorrectly and adhere to a degenerative form of the
religion. A form that has been demonstrated to us
repeatedly. A form whose structure is built upon a
foundation of violence, death, and suicide. A form whose
antiquated members are recruited from the prisons around the
world. A form whose members defended Johnny Cochran and
O.J. Simpson after the latter butchered his wife and murdered
an innocent friend. A form whose members (some as young
as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week
out, year after year, marching in the streets around the
world, burning effigies of our presidents, burning the
American flag, shooting weapons into the air. A form
whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take
up arms against the great United States of America, the
country of their birth. A form whose rule! The gutless
wimps are so twisted, that their traveling members refuse to
show their faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name
of Islam.
"Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us
because our women proudly show their faces in public rather
than cover up like a shameful whore?
"Do you and your
fellow Muslims hate us because we drink wine with dinner, or
celebrate Christmas? Do you and you fellow Muslims hate
us because we have befriended Israel, the ONLY civilized
democratic nation in the entire Middle East? If
you gutless, wimps, and your fellow Muslims hate us, then why
in the world are you even living in the United States?
"Are you here to take our money? Are you here to
undermine our peace and stability? Are you here to
destroy us? If so, I want you to leave. I want you
to go back to your horrendous desert sandpit, where women are
treated like rats and dogs. I want you to take your
religion, your friends, and your family back to your Islamic
extremists, and STAY THERE!
"We will NEVER give in to
your influence, your retarded mentality, your twisted,
violent, intolerant religion. We will NEVER allow the
attacks of September 11, or any others for that matter, to
take away that which is so precious to us: Our rights under
the greatest constitution in the world.
"I want to
know where every Arab-Muslim in this country stands and I
think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of
this country to demand it. A right paid for by the blood
of thousands of my brothers and sisters who died protecting
the very constitution that is protecting you and your
family. I am pleading with you to let me know. I
want you here as my brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a
fellow American. But there can be no gray areas or
ambivalence regarding your allegiance and it is up to YOU, to
show ME, where YOU stand.
"Until then ... you worry
me."

By Captain John Rasmussen

EAGLE BASE, Bosnia and
Herzegovina (Army News Service, May 22, 2002) -- It was
raining "cats and dogs" and I was late for physical training.
Traffic was backed up at Fort Campbell, Ky., and was moving
way too slowly. I was probably going to be late and I was
growing more and more impatient. The pace slowed almost to a
standstill as I passed Memorial Grove, the site built to honor
the soldiers who died in the Gander airplane crash,
the worst redeployment accident in the history of the
101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
Because it was
close to Memorial Day, a small American flag had been placed
in the ground next to each soldier's memorial plaque. My
concern at the time, however, was getting past the bottleneck,
getting out of the rain and getting to PT on time.
All
of a sudden, infuriatingly, just as the traffic was getting
started again, the car in front of me stopped. A soldier, a
private of course, jumped out in the pouring rain and ran over
toward the grove. I couldn't believe it! This
knucklehead was holding up everyone for who knows what
kind of prank. Horns were honking.
I waited to
see the butt chewing that I wanted him to get for making me
late. He was getting soaked to the skin. His BDUs were
plastered to his frame. I watched-as he ran up to one of
the memorial plaques, picked up the small American flag that
had fallen to the ground in the wind and the rain, and set it
upright again. Then, slowly, he came to attention, saluted,
ran back to his car, and drove off.
I'll never forget
that incident. That soldier, whose name I will never
know, taught me more about duty, honor, and respect than a
hundred books or a thousand lectures. That simple salute --
that single act of honoring his fallen brother and his
flag -- encapsulated all the Army values in one gesture
for me. It said, "I will never forget. I will keep
the faith. I will finish the mission. I am an
American soldier."
I thank God for examples like
that.
And on this Memorial Day, I will remember all
those who paid the ultimate price for my freedom, and one
private, soaked to the skin, who honored them.
(Editor's note: The president has called for a
"National Moment of Remembrance" at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day
with a one-minute pause to remember those fallen in service to
the country. Capt. John Rasmussen is now a chaplain with
Multinational Division North in
Bosnia.)

THIS IS A WONDERFUL BRITISH EDITORIAL
ABOUT THE USA.
2/18/2003
Just a word of background for those of you
who are not familiar with the Daily Mirror newspaper,
which is published in England. It is a notorious left-wing
daily and is usually very anti-American. It's kind of hard to
believe that they published this editorial. The author is
Tony Parsons. It follows: September 11, 2002
ONE year ago, the world witnessed a unique kind of
broadcasting - the mass murder of thousands, live on
television. As a lesson in the pitiless cruelty of the human
race, September 11 was up there with Pol Pot's mountain of
skulls in Cambodia, or the skeletal bodies stacked like
garbage in the Nazi concentration camps.
An
unspeakable act so cruel, so calculated and so utterly
merciless that surely the world could agree on one thing -
nobody deserves this fate. Surely there could be consensus:
the victims were truly innocent, the perpetrators truly evil.
But to the world's eternal shame, 9/11 is increasingly seen as
America's comeuppance. Incredibly, anti-Americanism has
increased over the last year.
There has always been a
simmering resentment to the USA in this country - too loud,
too rich, too full of themselves and so much happier than
Europeans - but it has become an epidemic. And it seems
incredible to me. More than that, it turns my stomach.
America is this country's greatest friend and our
staunchest ally. We are bonded to the US by culture, language
and blood. A little over half a century ago, around half a
million Americans died for our freedoms, as well as their own.
Have we forgotten so soon? And exactly a year ago,
thousands of ordinary men, women and children - not just
Americans, but from dozens of countries - were butchered by a
small group of religious fanatics. Are we so quick to betray
them?
What touched the heart about those who died in
the twin towers and on the planes was that we recognised them.
Young fathers and mothers, somebody's son and somebody's
daughter, husbands and wives. And children. Some unborn. And
these people brought it on themselves? And their nation is
to blame for their meticulously planned slaughter?
These days you don't have to be some dust-encrusted
nut job in Kabul or Karachi or Finsbury Park to see America as
the Great Satan. The anti-American alliance is made up of
self-loathing liberals who blame the Americans for every ill
in the Third World, and conservatives suffering from
power-envy, bitter that the world's only superpower can do
what it likes without having to ask permission.
The truth is that America has behaved with enormous
restraint since September 11. Remember, remember. Remember the
gut-wrenching tapes of weeping men phoning their wives to say,
"I love you," before they were burned alive. Remember those
people leaping to their deaths from the top of burning
skyscrapers. Remember the hundreds of firemen buried alive.
Remember the smiling face of that beautiful little girl who
was on one of the planes with her mum.
Remember,
remember - and realize that America has never retaliated for
9/11 in anything like the way it could have. So a few al-Qaeda
tourists got locked without a trial in Camp X-ray? Pass the
Kleenex. So some Afghan wedding receptions were shot up after
they merrily fired their semi-automatic in a sky full of
American planes? A shame, but maybe next time they should
stick to confetti.
AMERICA could have turned a large
chunk of the world into a parking lot. That it didn't is a
sign of strength. American voices are already being raised
against attacking Iraq - that's what a emocracy is for. How
many in the Islamic world will have a minute's silence for the
slaughtered innocents of 9/11? How many Islamic leaders will
have the guts to say that the mass murder of 9/11 was an
abomination?
When the news of 9/11 broke on the West
Bank, those freedom-loving Palestini ans were dancing in the
street. America watched all of that - and didn't push the
button. We should thank the stars that America is the most
powerful nation in the world. I still find it incredible that
9/11 did not provoke all-out war. Not a "war on terrorism". A
real war.
The fundamentalist dudes are talking about
"opening the gates of hell", if America attacks Iraq. Well,
America could have opened the gates of hell like you wouldn't
believe. The US is the most militarily powerful nation that
ever strode the face of the earth. The campaign in
Afghanistan may have been less than perfect and the
planned war on Iraq may be misconceived.
But don't
blame America for not bringing peace and light to these
wretched countries. How many democracies are there in the
Middle East, or in the Muslim world? You can count them on the
fingers of one hand -assuming you haven't had any chopped off
for minor shoplifting.
I love America, yet America is
hated. I guess that makes me Bush's poodle. But I would rather
be a dog in New York City than a Prince in Riyadh. Above all,
America is hated because it is what every country wants to be
- rich, free, strong, open, optimistic. Not ground down by the
past, or religion, or some caste system.
America is
the best friend this country ever had and we should start
remembering that. Or do you really think the USA is the root
of all evil? Tell it to the loved ones of the men and women
who leaped to their death from the burning towers. Tell it to
the nursing mothers whose husbands died on one of the hijacked
planes, or were ripped apart in a collapsing skyscraper. And
tell it to the hundreds of young widows whose husbands worked
for the New York Fire Department.
To our shame, George
Bush gets a worse press than Saddam Hussein. Once we were told
that Saddam gassed the Kurds, tortured his own people and set
up rape-camps in Kuwait. Now we are told he likes Quality
Street chocolates. Save me the orange centre, oh mighty one!
Remember, remember, September 11. One of the greatest
atrocities in human history was committed against America.
No, do more than remember. Never forget.

Who is Smarter???
It is time for us, as citizens of the United
States, to educate ourselves about the world around us, so
future generations can enjoy the freedoms that our forefathers
bequeathed us. As citizens of the United States we must
continue with the war, if we ever want to know peace in our
own country and live without fear of terrorism striking our
own cities, we must assure that this nation remains strong. We
must make certain that those who would destroy us are made
aware of the severe consequences that will befall
them.
The Hollywood group is at it again. Holding
antiwar rallies, screaming about the Bush Administration,
running ads in major newspapers, defaming the President and
his Cabinet every chance they get,to anyone and everyone who
will listen. They publicly defile them and call them names
like "stupid" , "morons", and "idiots". Jessica Lange went so
far as to tell a crowd in Spain that she hates President Bush
and is embarrassed to be an American.
So, just how ignorant are these people who
are running the country? Let's look at the biographies of
these "stupid","ignorant" , "moronic" leaders, and then at the
celebrities who are castigating them:
President USA George W. Bush:
Received a Bachelors Degree from Yale University and an MBA
from Harvard Business School. He served as an F-102 pilot for
the Texas Air National Guard. He began his career in the oil
and gas business in Midland in 1975 and worked in the energy
industry until 1986. He was elected Governor on November 8,
1994, with 53.5 percent of the vote. In a historic reelection
victory, he became the first Texas Governor to be elected to
consecutive four-year terms on November 3, 1998 winning 68.6
percent of the vote. In 1998 Governor Bush won 49 percent of
the Hispanic vote, 27 percent of the African-American vote, 27
percent of Democrats and 65 percent of women. He won more
Texas counties, 240 of 254, than any modern Republican other
that Richard Nixon in 1972 and is the first Republican
gubernatorial candidate to win the heavily Hispanic and
Democratic border counties of El Paso, Cameron and Hidalgo.
(Someone began circulating a false story about his I.Q. being
lower than any other President. If you believed it, you might
want to go to URBANLEGENDS.COM and see the truth.)
Vice President USA Dick Cheney:
earned a B.A. in 1965 and a M.A. in 1966, both in political
science. Two years later, he won an American Political Science
Association congressional fellowship. One of Vice President
Cheney's primary duties is to share with individuals, members
of Congress and foreign leaders, President Bush's vision to
strengthen our economy, secure our homeland and win the War on
Terrorism. In his official role as President of the Senate,
Vice President Cheney regularly goes to Capital Hill to meet
with Senators and members of the House of Representatives to
work on the Administration's legislative goals. In his travels
as Vice President, he has seen first hand the great demands
the war on terrorism is placing on the men and women of our
military, and he is proud of the tremendous job they are doing
for the United States of America.
Secretary of State USA Colin
Powell:
was educated in the New York City public schools, graduating
from the City College of New York (CCNY), where he earned a
Bachelor's Degree in geology. He also participated in ROTC at
CCNY and received a commission as an Army second lieutenant
upon graduation in June 1958. His further academic
achievements include a Master of Business Administration
Degree from George Washington University. Secretary Powell is
the recipient of numerous U.S. and foreign military awards and
decorations. Secretary Powell's civilian awards include two
Presidential Medals of Freedom, the President's Citizens
Medal, the Congressional Gold Medal, the Secretary of State
Distinguished Service Medal, and the Secretary of Energy
Distinguished Service Medal. Several schools and other
institutions have been named in his honor and he holds
honorary degrees from universities and colleges across the
country.
Secretary of Defense USA Donald
Rumsfeld:
attended Princeton University on Scholarship (AB, 1954) and
served in the U.S. Navy (1954-57) as a Naval aviator ;
Congressional Assistant to Rep. Robert Griffin (R-MI),
1957-59; U.S. Representative, Illinois, 1962-69; Assistant to
the President, Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity,
Director of the Cost of Living Council, 1969-74; U.S.
Ambassador to NATO, 1973-74; head of Presidential Transition
Team, 1974; Assistant to the President, Director of White
House Office of Operations, White House Chief of Staff,
1974-77; Secretary of Defense, 1975-77
Secretary of Homeland Security USA Tom
Ridge:
was raised in a working class family in veterans' public
housing in Erie. He earned a scholarship to Harvard,
graduating with honors in 1967. After his first year at The
Dickinson School of Law, he was drafted into the U.S. Army,
where he served as an infantry staff sergeant in Vietnam,
earning the Bronze Star for Valor.  After returning to
Pennsylvania, he earned his Law Degree and was in private
practice before becoming Assistant District Attorney in Erie
County. He was elected to Congress in 1982. He was the first
enlisted Vietnam combat veteran elected to the U.S. House, and
was overwhelmingly re-elected six times.
National Security Advisor USA Condoleezza
Rice:
earned her Bachelor's Degree in Political Science, Cum Laude
and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver in 1974; her
Master's from the University of Notre Dame in 1975; and her

from Morehouse College in 1991, the University of Alabama in
1994, and the University of Notre Dame in 1995. She resides in
Washington, D.C.
So who are these celebrities? What is their
education? What is their experience in affairs of State or in
National Security?  While I will defend to the death their
right to express their opinions, I think that if they are
going to call into question the intelligence of our leaders,
we should also have all the facts on their educations and
background:

While comparing the education and experience
of these two groups, we should also remember that President
Bush and his cabinet are briefed daily, even hourly, on the
War on Terror and threats to our security.They are privy to
information gathered around the world concerning the Middle
East, the threats to America, the intentions of terrorists and
terrorist-supporting governments. They are in constant
communication with the CIA, the FBI, Interpol, NATO, The
United Nations, our own military, and that of our allies
around the world. We cannot simply believe that we have full
knowledge of the threats because we watch CNN!! We cannot
believe that we are in any way as informed as our
leaders.
These celebrities have no
intelligence-gathering agents, no fact-finding groups, no
insight into the minds of those who would destroy our country.
They only have a deep seated hatred for all things Republican.
By nature, and no one knows quite why, the Hollywood elitists
detest Conservative views and anything that supports or
uplifts the United States of America. The silence was
deafening from the Left when Bill Clinton bombed a
pharmaceutical factory outside of Khartoum, or when he
attacked the Bosnian Serbs in 1995 and 1999. He bombed Serbia
itself to get Slobodan Milosevic out of Kosovo, and not a
single peace rally was held. When our Rangers were ambushed in
Somalia and 18 young American lives were lost, not a peep was
heard from Hollywood Yet now, after our nation has been
attacked on its own soil, after 3,000 Americans were killed by
freedom-hating terrorists while going about their routine
lives, they want to hold rallies against the war.Why the
change? Because an honest, God-fearing Republican sits in the
White House.
Another irony is that in 1987, when Ronald
Reagan was in office, the Hollywood group aligned themselves
with disarmament groups like SANE, FREEZE and PEACE ACTION,
urging our own government to disarm and freeze the
manufacturing of any further nuclear weapons, in order to
promote world peace. It is curious that now, even after we
have heard all the evidence that Saddam Hussein has chemical,
biological and is very close to obtaining nuclear weapons,
there is no cry from this group for Saddam to disarm They
believe we should leave him alone in his quest for these
weapons of mass destruction, even though it is certain that
these deadly weapons will eventually be used against us in our
own cities.
Yes, it is a wonderful dream to sit down with
dictators and terrorists and join hands, singing Cumbaya and
talking of world peace. But it is not real. We did not stop
Adolf Hitler from taking over the entire continent of Europe
by simply talking to him. We sent our best and brightest, with
the strength and determination that this Country is known for,
and defeated the Nazi regime. President John F. Kennedy did
not stop the Soviet ships from unloading their nuclear
missiles in Cuba in 1962 with mere words. He stopped them with
action, and threat of immediate war if the ships did not turn
around. We did not end the Cold War with conferences. It ended
with the strong belief of President Ronald Reagan PEACE
through STRENGTH.

E-mail 3/23/03) I
could not have said it better myself. Thanks LT
Layne McDowell.
Letter from radio station website in Lubbock, home of the Dixie Chicks that spewed forth about our president: Name: LT Layne McDowell Date: 03/15/03 Time: 01:54:49 PM Comment: An open letter to the Dixie Chicks: Earlier this week, while performing in London, you stated that you were ashamed that our President is from your home state. I wonder if you realized how many Americans would be listening. This American was listening. This Texan is ashamed that you come from my state. I serve my country as an officer in the United States Navy. Specifically, I fly F-14 Tomcats off carriers around the world, executing the missions that preserve the very freedom you claim to exercise. I have proudly fought for my country in the skies over Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan without regret. Though I may disagree wholeheartedly with your comments, I will defend to the death your right to say them, in America. But for you to travel to a foreign land and publicly criticize our Commander in Chief is cowardice behavior. Would you have so willingly made those comments while performing for a patriotic, flag-waving crowd of Texans in Lubbock?? I would imagine not. How dare you pocket profits off songs about soldiers, their deaths and patriotism while criticizing their Commander in Chief abroad, even while they prepare to give their lives to ensure your own freedom of speech. Please ask yourself, what have you done to deserve that sacrifice??? Do not try to justify your comments by claiming that you made them only because you care about innocent lives. Never once in our history have we committed troops to war for the purpose of taking innocent lives. We do it to protect innocent lives, even yours. If the world leaders of the late 1930's had the vision and courage of our present Commander in Chief, perhaps the evil men who caused the death of millions in WWII would have never had the opportunity to harm a soul. The potential losses of millions of lives in the future at the hands of today’s evil men necessitate action. In a separate correspondence, I am returning to you each and every Dixie Chicks CD and cassette that I have ever purchased. Never again will I allow my funds to support your behavior. All you have done is to add your name to a growing list of American "Celebrities" who have failed to realize that they have obtained their successes on the backs of the American blue-collar workers such as our servicemen and women. To Natalie Maines: This Texan, this American will continue to risk his life to guarantee your freedoms. What will you do to deserve it?
