Thank the (gods) For The un

~Snooper~

It's official. In a quiet and non publicized event, the Useless and Defunct Nations Disorganization inadvertently declared victory in Iraq for the United States. We didn't need them to do so because everyone already knows our Troops won, even if they cannot bring themselves to admit it. But, UN resolution 1859 said so. So, in keeping with the libtard ways and means that the UN is (god) and is correct in all things, our Troops won and the terrorists lost.

Join us on April 4th in DC as we celebrate our Troops.

Gold Star mom Debbie Lee... HELP! NH Democrat Party Chair verbally attacks me.

Published: 10/26/2008 Author: Debbie Lee Posted On: October 26, 2008 at 8:04 AM By: Kathy

Hey everybody: I'm back home and trying to catch up on much needed rest after 11 intensive days on the campaign trail with MAF Freedom PAC. While in NH endorsing Jeb Bradley I attended a debate between Bradley and Carol Shea Porter. Congressman Bradley used his opening minutes of the debate to acknowledge Natalie Healey and myself and the sacrifice our sons, Dan and Marc, both Navy SEALs. One of the questions asked the candidates was about the importance of staying in touch with their constituents. The Bradley campaign had released a radio ad that Natalie had made exposing the lack of Carol Shea-Porter to return phone calls to Natalie after numerous attempts requesting to talk with her. Jeb responded how important his constituents are and referenced staying in touch with Gold Star Mother Natalie Healey. Carol Shea responded that it was important to her and that she had in fact spoken with Natalie. Nat and I both could not believe what we just heard? Carol had just lied publicly on the platform. After the debate we approached the stage and confronted Carol about her bold faced lie. She responded that she had contacted Natalie and had just released a press release to counter the accusations in the radio ad. I told her that our sons had given up their tomorrows so that she could have her today and how dare her that she couldn't use 10 minutes out of her day to return a phone call to a Gold Star Mother. At that point she quickly went back stage. I turned around and in disgust commented that Carol had just lied. A man in the crowd chanted, "Where's the proof? Prove it. Prove it!" I pointed to Natalie who was speaking with media and said. "She's the proof. That's the Mother who Carol refused to call." I repeated to the man "Our son's gave their tomorrows, their futures, so that she could have her today's and she can't even return a phone call? That's disgraceful. He then told me he had served in Viet Nam and had friends who were POW-MIA. I compassionately touched his arm thanked him for his service and told him I was sorry for his loss. I told him that no matter where you stood on the politics of the War on Terror that a Congressman or Senator out of respect should return a phone call to a Gold Star family member. He stated his disgust for what we were doing in Iraq and said "We've all lost things." THINGS????? My son is not a thing. He was a hero who stood out in the direct line of fire 3 times that day and gave his life for this man and he has the audacity to compare his sacrifice with a thing???? I was livid!!! How dare him. At this point the man in charge of the debate came over and said we would need to take this outside. I could not believe what had just taken place. I knew I was wasting my time and started to walk away when the man I had the confrontation with told me "Your just being used by the campaign." Oh my goodness again, I can't believe the antics of this idiot. He obviously doesn't know that nobody uses me. I turn around and tell him "NOBODY uses me!" You don't raise a son to be a Navy SEAL by having a character that is used by people. Unbelievable! As I approached the other Blues Star Moms and campaign staff that was there they asked what had just taken place. I retold the confrontation with the condescending, heartless man. They asked me to point him out. I was informed that his name was Ray Buckley and that he was the Chairman of the Democrat Party in NH. I was even more appalled that the man who had disgraced my son and insulted me was a high ranking official in the Democrat Party. I'm calling for back up. This is unacceptable! I am calling for a public apology and Ray Buckley's resignation. If anyone can help set up an on-line petition let me know. I am also including addresses to write letters to the editor of the newspapers in NH letters@unionleader.com and cline@unionleader.com This is America and we saw the disrespect for our troops who came home from Viet Nam. I know so many of you who are determined that this won't happen to those who are currently serving or the families of our fallen heroes. I am outraged and I won't let this happen to other Gold Star families either. Standing for our Heroes and their families, Debbie Lee Proud Mother of Marc Alan Lee First Navy SEAL killed in Iraq 8-2-06

Main Street Media: The Media That Counts

~Snooper~

In a previous post entitled, Democrats: Doubling Down On Defeat, I mentioned the following:

The same Democrats that tried to lose the war in 2006 and 2007 are now trying to ensure ultimate defeat in the long run. John Jerk-Off Murtha said this recently:

The Defense Department is going to have to cut personnel in order to pay for procurement. . . . I don’t know that they are going to be able to keep growing the Army," said Murtha, adding, "Personnel costs are out of control."

As far as I know, hasn't Obama stated that increasing the size of the military was one of his highest priorities? And, hasn't Murtha been running his re-election bid on the most important aspect is his total support of the military? Seems to me that either one or both men are lying once again for political expediency. Go figure. [...]

Evidently, the Information Systems, U.S. House of Representatives, was interested because they have or at least someone in Congress has, visited this post 123 times since it was first posted on 10/5/08. I am not sure if it was the Obama or Murtha Camps visiting and it really doesn't matter. What matters is that the Main Street Media has their attention.

We in the Main Street Media have been challenging and nipping at the heals of the dinosaur media for quite some time and we have gained the upper hand. Many of our number have scooped the established clowns of CNN, ABC, CBS, PBS, FOX and a host of others.

We in the Main Street media have been instrumental in exposing the phony stories published and hailed as the gospel truth in the Global War On Terror. In my opinion, it has been Gateway Pundit and Jawa Report that have been the leaders of that Brigade of Truth within the Main Street Media. Without these leaders of Truth and Justice, Americans would have been woefully lied to with no other outlets of representation of what Truth is and what are Lies. In the end of all things, Truth prevails.

I remember several times emailing both with suspect stories and both emailed me back thanking me for the heads up. Most of those stories were subsequently proven to be phony stories. When the dinosaur media stoops to such low levels as to lie about the men and women fighting to keep them free to drive up their sales and circulation, we in the Main Street Media will expose them for what they are.

One can see from our results that their readership and circulation has drastically declined and we are glad of it and proud of our collective efforts.

History Will Vindicate President Bush

~Snooper~

History will vindicate President Bush and will denounce the groups and individuals that suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome and in recent days, the Palin Derangement Syndrome.

I have proof positive of my assertions for several decades that the Leftinistra can never admit ever being wrong about anything. Back in September, Sen Lieberman and Sen Graham issued the following resolution:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) and Lindsey Graham today urged the U.S. Senate to adopt a bipartisan resolution that recognizes the reality of the strategic success of the surge in Iraq:

"It was exactly one year ago today that General David Petraeus returned to Capitol Hill to testify before Congress about the progress of the surge in Iraq. At the time, many members of the Senate argued that the surge -- despite growing evidence of its success -- was not working and should be abandoned. One left-wing group, Moveon.org, even made the despicable and outrageous accusation that General Petraeus would try to 'cook the books' to justify the surge when he appeared before Congress.

"One year later, it is clear: the critics of the surge were wrong.

"Had we heeded their advice to retreat from Iraq in 2007, the United States would have suffered a catastrophic defeat in the heart of the Middle East that would have had terrible consequences far beyond Iraq for years to come. Fortunately, we did not abandon General Petraeus and his brave troops, and as a result, the situation in Iraq has completely reversed. We have witnessed substantial progress on the political, economic and military fronts. Our enemies are weaker, and America is safer.

"We congratulate the Iraqi people for coming together in the face of so much adversity to further the peace and prosperity of their country. We honor their sacrifices and share in their desire to continue to build on success.

"The situation in Iraq remains fragile and complex. The war is not over. Our two deadliest enemies -- al Qaeda and Iran -- will seize any opportunities we hand them to come back.

"However, because of the strategic success of the surge, more and more American troops are coming home, not in defeat, but in honor.

"In withdrawing our troops from Iraq, however, it is critical that we do not jeopardize the hard-won gains they have achieved. That means any withdrawal must be based on the recommendations of General Petraeus and our commanders on the ground, not on an arbitrary timeline invented in Washington. Our brave military has fought too hard, and sacrificed too much, for American politicians to throw away the gains they have achieved with an arbitrary timeline.

"What is needed now, therefore, is not more partisan politics over Iraq, but for Democrats and Republicans alike to come together and recognize reality: to acknowledge that the surge was not just a tactical success but a strategic success; to give thanks to our courageous men and women in uniform who made it possible; and to pledge that we will do nothing that might squander these hard-won gains.

"For that reason, we have introduced a bipartisan resolution that recognizes the reality of the strategic success of the surge. We hope that the Senate can unite to take up and adopt this resolution this week, on the one year anniversary of General Petraeus' testimony before Congress and as he prepares to depart Baghdad to take command of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). The moment has come for the Senate to speak with one voice and admit the strategic success of the surge."

The result? Crickets. They refused to support this Resolution. Why? Because it would show that they were wrong about something. Their inability to acknowledge The Troops has shown that not only do they not support the GWOT that they originally did support, they also do not support the Troops or their Mission. It is all fluffy rhetoric for political gain...political power.

Czarbie, after forced into a corner by his own inability to think on the fly, admitted that the Troop Surge succeeded "beyond our wildest dreams". He has been waffling ever since.

They called the War In Iraq a separate war in the GWOT citing that the "real" war was in Afghanistan forgetting that President Bush stated many times that "we will fight this war on our terms and not the enemy's terms". The United States wrestled control of the war declared against us and fought it and is still fighting it on our terms. Much like McCain-Palin has "stolen" the Czarbie Hope and Change monicker from him, President Bush stole from Al Qaeda and all of the other terrorist groups the When and Where. If that nuance has escaped you, well, more's the pity...for you.

In the WSJ today, in part:

[...] The reality is that success in Iraq has confounded the political left, which placed a huge political bet on our defeat. Senator Reid famously declared the war lost in April 2007. Joe Biden introduced a resolution opposing the surge. And Hillary Clinton said the reports of progress in Iraq required "a willing suspension of disbelief." In the Democratic narrative, our troops in Iraq are victims of a lost cause, not heroes. They're allowed to get maimed and killed, but not to succeed.

Thus Democrats are left to argue that success in Iraq is irrelevant because the real fight against al Qaeda is occurring in Afghanistan. Or that the reduced violence in Iraq has resulted not from the troop surge but from the Sunni Awakening and the retreat of the Sadr militias. [...]

[...] The Lieberman-Graham resolution is a chance for Democrats to show that their support for the troops is more than rhetorical. It changes no policy and in that sense is only symbolic. Yet it is precisely the political symbolism of admitting they were wrong that is stopping the Democratic leadership from letting it come up for a vote before the Senate adjourns. Unfortunately, the last thing that Democrats want to discuss in this election season is success in Iraq. [END]

Indeed. I have been preparing to publish evidence of the complicity of Sen Reid and company in the American casualties amassed during The Reid Clan treasonous rhetoric while emboldening and enabling and encouraging the enemy to advance their political careers. It is beyond shameful.

Larrey Anderson Hits One OUT Of The Ballpark!

~Snooper~

When I read this article entitled "Why the Left is Unpatriotic and Why the Right Should Say So", I do believe that I woke up the entire neighborhood. I say that because certain individuals scurried out of their bedrooms to see just what in the hell was happening in Dad's domain.

I have been saying this for almost forever and it is indeed a fact that the PC Nazis condemn. Why? Because it is Truth and we cannot have any of that.

Most conservative political commentators tiptoe around the unpatriotic positions maintained by many liberals in America. We hear prominent conservatives say things like this, "I am not challenging Mr. Liberal's patriotism. I am challenging his point of view."

The fact is that much of the new left is unpatriotic. And that is okay. The Founding Fathers knew that not all Americans would be patriots; in fact, they counted on it. In this article I will show why the culture of the left is not patriotic. My basic contention is that patriotism is now the responsibility of the right -- abandoned by the left. I will use stories and photographs from this year's Oregon Country Fair to help make the point. [...] (read the rest)

I'll second and third that and sent it up for a vote. Can I get an AMEN?

I'll go one better by providing a link to my collection of Democrats and Terrorists where one can not only read those articles that I have written but others as well. A Patriot will not defecate on the American Flag. A Patriot will not drag the American Flag on the ground as they march to the tune of impeach Bush now garbage. A Patriot will not walk on either an American Flag or a facsimile thereof left on the ground as art to see if people would. And, btw, one of Czarbama's buddies - an unrepentant terrorist - did just that. A Patriot does not make light the Fall of Saigon. A Patriot will not disrespect The American Flag. A Patriot does not disrespect our Troops. A Patriot does not promote the murder of military officers which, btw, inspired this banner. A Patriot doesn't act like this either.

A Patriot respects our Troops as they perform their duties. Examples of True American Patriotism is all around us but widely chided and ignored.

Yes indeed. Those that claim "patriotism" in order to besmirch our Troops may be "patriotic" but there is no telling what they are patriotic towards and to what ends.

One Of These Days...

~Snooper~

One of these days, I will be blessed, honored and humbled to be in the presence of beth from Blue Star Chronicles. She has been a stalwart supporter of The Troops for a seemingly eternity. If I ever do managed to be in her presence, this humbled veteran will give her a grateful and heartfelt bear hug.

I was once a Troop. Therefore, I will forever remain a Troop. I swore my Oath of Service only to return to a seemingly ungrateful segment of our society. That is to be expected because their parents didn't teach them any better and their teachers and professors and instructors didn't teach them any better.

I normally do not post another bloggers' content on any of my posts out of respect for their work and normally take snippets and link back to them. That is proper protocol. However, the following is an exception to that rule.

With that said, I will say this. Czarbama, his followers, his handlers, his enablers and financiers can kiss my ass.

McCain and Obama and Our Troops by beth

The difference between John McCain's interaction with American troops and Obama's is a reflection of how different the two men are. McCain appears natural and comfortable with Men at Arms. His interactions give every appearance of mutual respect.

Obama, on the other hand, appears .... well .... we don't know how he interacts with the troops because he seems to avoid that as carefully as he avoids a debate with McCain.

Enjoy this video of McCain with the troops … and Obama's shame.

I find it vastly peculiar when I hear silly people say that there isn't much difference between McCain and Czarbama. I seriously question their synapse pathways are in order when I hear such things. But, that's just me.

Vets for Freedom members,

2008 promises to be another busy year for Vets for Freedom. We are already working hard on a laundry list of events, and you should be on the lookout for exciting announcements in the coming weeks. We plan to ensure that the incredible progress our brave troops achieved in 2007 is continued and acknowledged.

While Congress returns to business and the Presidential race heats up, Vets for Freedom continues to actively advocate on behalf of the brave men and women who are defying the critics and winning the fight in Iraq. This Monday alone, Vets for Freedom member and Marine infantry officer Erik Swabb wrote an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal entitled "The Lessons of Iraq" and I wrote an op-ed in the National Review Online entitled "Death Blow to Defeatists" that outlines the recent political progress in Iraq. I also had the opportunity to appear on The O'Reilly Factor once again to take on MoveOn.org. To view the clip, please visit our website.

On another note, Vets for Freedom is proud to welcome Founder and Medal of Honor nominee David Bellavia as the Editor-In-Chief of our Troop Blog. David Bellavia is also the author of House to House: An Epic Memoir of War, an unforgettable story of triumph, adversity, and the unending courage of a U.S. infantryman and his squad in Iraq. David-along with many other excellent writers-will be blogging daily.

Lastly, be sure to visit our new website to get the latest news articles and updates on issues important to Vets for Freedom members. I look forward to working with each of you this year as we continue to support our brave troops in Iraq and Afghanistan-and our veterans here at home.

Move Out and Draw Fire!

Move America Forward Speaks to Sacramento Board of Supervisors

Videos here and here...

When we heard that the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors would be taking up the issue of the war in Iraq as part of their regular business, with a proposed resolution calling for a timetable for phased-in defeat, we simply had to do something despite the late notice.

News that the board would be taking a look at the resolution first broke last week, causing a small firestorm of controversy here in sleepy old Sacramento, where Move America Forward bases it's headquarters.

As a recently arrived resident of this town I have grown to like Sacramento, in a very short time, so I was interested to come to a meeting of its County Board of Supervisors to see how local government works. It was unfortunate that my first visit would be to witness the County Board take up an issue that clearly is beyond it's operational jurisdiction.

This was the same opinion voiced by dozens of other people from the community, who stood with Move America Forward in opposition to the resolution at the board meeting.

While the Board moved to drop the resolution, a motion enacted by Supervisor Peters - bravo! - Which was the right thing to do, the Board also took the time to let the members of the community who came to speak about the issue, from both sides, give their opinions. [...] read the rest...

Where Do We Get Such Men As These?

~Snooper~

I am a Warrior and I am a proud member of the Warrior Class. There does not exist many of us yet we do not consider ourselves members of The Elite. We do not pander. We do not grovel. We volunteered and answered the Patriot's Call.

We are not any better than anyone else yet others think themselves to be better than us. We understand the sentiment and we know deep within our hearts that when the chips are down, the people "better" than us will look to us to protect them in their time of need.

This may sound maudlin; it may sound morbid...I care not. I lost a friend and America lost a National Treasure. Death and dying is nothing new to me but I try, to no avail, to eject the memories, the heartache, the screams from my mind.

On 3 JAN 08, Major Andrew Olmsted traveled to the Warriors Domain. He had the foresight to write a final post before his death and it was to be published upon his death. This is an excerpt of that post:

[...] What I don't want this to be is a chance for me, or anyone else, to be maudlin. I'm dead. That sucks, at least for me and my family and friends. But all the tears in the world aren't going to bring me back, so I would prefer that people remember the good things about me rather than mourning my loss. (If it turns out a specific number of tears will, in fact, bring me back to life, then by all means, break out the onions.) I had a pretty good life, as I noted above. Sure, all things being equal I would have preferred to have more time, but I have no business complaining with all the good fortune I've enjoyed in my life. So if you're up for that, put on a little 80s music (preferably vintage 1980-1984), grab a Coke and have a drink with me. If you have it, throw 'Freedom Isn't Free' from the Team America soundtrack in; if you can't laugh at that song, I think you need to lighten up a little. I'm dead, but if you're reading this, you're not, so take a moment to enjoy that happy fact. [...]

That is what Andrew was like. Many men share that same thought. Don't boo-hoo for me...I have chosen to be what and where I am.

His personal blog is here, he had his own web site at one time here and he wrote for Obsidian Wings more often than not where his final message to all of us can be read.

As we hear the caterwauling from the anti-Americanists across the globe; as we witness "peace activists" burning men in uniform in effigy; as we witness the anti-war crowds spitting on military members; I often wonder why. Why would these alleged peace activists treat the very people that has made it possible for them to be as they are without fear of reprisal this way? Don't they know what we are capable of? Is it all that wise to enrage us/

The answer is, naturally, we are better than that and we have seen and witnessed much worse. They are but a parasite and are short-lived as well as being insignificant in the grand scheme.

Our nation is at war.

We could...and do...get angry with the defeatists, the leftists, the media; and feel complete contempt at all those who would belittle and demean such as Major Andrew Olmsted and many others like him. These men and women who have chosen to serve, who are willing and have given of themselves in ways the politicians and the media, the Code Pinkos, the ANSWER crowd, the traitors never will are but 1% of our population. These anti-Americanists are incapable of such commitment.

We could...and do......get angry at the politicians as they pander and cater to the insignificant for a vote...especially during voting seasons...which openly enable the enemy by uttering utter nonsense such as "getting them out of Iraq"...

--as if men and women of this caliber want to be turned into surrenderists to serve some pandering politicians' agenda.

We laugh about such absurdity. Not because we don't agree but because we will be back if the job isn't done...now.

But, it wouldn't change the way they are any more than what they think of us will change the way we are. The whole thing is sadly laughable.

As I viewed with keen interest both "debates" yesterday, I saw first hand a group of people that are unworthy to be in the presence of men such as Major Andrew Olmsted...save two. And those two are Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter. None of the others are remotely worthy...not in this lifetime.

Rest In Peace, my friend. We have your back.

For those that have never fought for it, Freedom has a taste the protected will never know.

Forever and always, an American Fighting Man.

Footnote: Obituary

THE DEATH OF ANDREW OLMSTED

Major Andrew Olmsted, who posted a blog since May 2007, was killed in Iraq on Thursday, Jan. 3. Major Olmsted, who had been based at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, began blogging after his unit was sent to Iraq with the mission of helping to train the Iraqi Army. No official details have been released on his death, but reports say that he and a second member of his unit were killed during an enemy ambush in Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad. Olmsted was determined to make a difference in Iraq. "The sooner the Iraqi government doesn't need U.S. support to provide security for its people, the sooner we will probably be asked to leave."
