They have gone to far!

When I was a young boy my favorite game was 'war'. My friends and I would get together with our camouflage pants, army belt and toy guns and would pretend that we are in a battle doing our duty of defending our country. I remember it so vividly, we would take bunker in a tree house waiting for the attack, avoiding land minds (dog poop) and repeating phrases we heard in the movies. "Bravo flank left... Charlie in the tree!" And when we'd get bored we'd head in the house and take out our GI Joe's and continue the battle. Those were great times.

But those times are over. Today that innocence of youth wants to be stolen by PC groups who want nothing more than to turn our young boys into 'pink' wearing pansies. The anti-American group Code Pink is trying to remove what they concider 'pro-war propoganda' toys from store shelves. They say and I quote:

"Every holiday season manufactures prey on our children with pro-war propaganda disguised as innocent toys. Don't let your child be a victim of G.I. Joe! As you're out buying holiday gifts, make a point this year to show little ones that war is not game. Set an example for the children in your life and use the opportunity to teach them non-violence.

Dress up in awesome pink camouflage gear or wear a fun holiday costume like an elf and stand outside stores that sell war toys with anti-war toy banners reminding gift buyers to shop responsibly. Hand out flyer's to shoppers about why they shouldn't buy them and give them suggestions for alternative gifts they can purchase for the little ones in their lives.

Place "surgeon general-type" warning labels on war toys in the stores. Simple mailing labels that you can print off at home are perfect for this action. Use the samples below or get creative and design your own."




They think that if little Billy gets a GI Joe for Christmas (notice how they were being 'PC' by saying holiday) then he is going to grow up and become either A: a horribly violent rapist or B: might want to become a soldier and defend his country someday. I think they are more afraid of answer B.

This is beyond disturbing; I don't know what to say. Just when you thought the World couldn't get any worse it throws you a curve ball. I just think that these people really want to see the United States fall. To preserve a nation's sovereignty you must raise your children as Patriotic citizens who will be willing to fight someday for their freedom. If we teach our kids that all violence is bad, that war is bad, that fighting for your freedom is bad then the enemy has won and we might as well just raise our hands in the air now and wait for our execution. I don't believe that we have reached that point yet, but if there are groups out there like Code Pink who want to hurt America then it's not to far fetched to think that it someday could happen.

Oh, and just if you wanted to know whatever became of my friends who I used to play war with, they are all now serving their country in the Marines fighting so these 'Code Pukes' can protest. God Bless America!

Time To Take Action Now!

______________________________
PRESIDENT BUSH has labeled Iraq "the Central Front in the War on Terror."

Bush is wrong. The Central Front in the War on Terror is now Washington, D.C.  Howard Dean, the chairman of the Democratic Party, has publicly declared that
we can't win in Iraq , and is calling for a phased withdrawal. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has also jumped on the "cut and run" bandwagon.

I'm FIGHTING MAD about this. Dean's remarks amount to a betrayal of all the military personnel who have toiled, bled, and sacrificed to liberate Iraq from the shadow of tyranny and terror. I can understand and accept that some politicians opposed the decision to go to war. I can take on board constructive criticism about how the war is being conducted. But once we're in, we're in to win. Dean's defeatist talk is not only counter-productive and demoralizing, it's downright dangerous.

It is now abundantly clear that this war will be won or lost on Capitol Hill. If the Democrats fall in line behind their leadership, their next move will be an attempt to force a cut in funding for Iraq. The U.S. military can take on and defeat any armed foe, but we can't beat Congress. If we lose this battle, it's over.

Until recently, I considered Dean, Pelosi, and company to be loyal opposition: politicians with whom I could respectfully disagree. I now consider them to be my enemy. I will do everything legally within my power to see that their agenda is defeated.

I'm calling on all like-minded, loyal Americans to join me in this fight. Our weapons will be every form of mass communication that we can muster: the telephone, the Internet, the postal system, radio, and television. It is time to stand up and be heard.

We will bombard our elected representatives with a concerted volley of counter-battery fire against the "cut and run" agenda of Dean, Pelosi & Co. The enemy is making similar preparations.

The time is now. Not next week. Not after Christmas. Now.

Why? Because in two weeks, Congress will recess for the Christmas break. That is when the representatives will go home to their districts and begin their re-election campaigns. This is our last chance to frame the issues before the campaigns get underway.

The enemy has already begun pressuring Congress to abandon Iraq. MoveOn, True Majority, Peace Action, Code Pink, Progressive Democrats of America, WAND, AfterDowningStreet.org and
Democrats.com are all organizing massive call-in campaigns.  Now is the time to commence our counter-attack. If we fail to respond, we cede the field to the enemy.

If you have hang-ups about getting involved in politics, get over it. It's time to bite the bullet and make your stand.

MISSION ONE: CALL CONGRESS

This is the simplest and most effective way to make your opinion count. It only takes a few minutes, and everyone can do it.

ORDERS:

1. Research your Representative's previous votes by clicking here:
http://www.vote-smart.org/official_congress_state.php?criteria=CA

You should have your talking points in hand when you call -- but prepare "bullets," not a script.

2. Look up your Represenative's phone number here:
http://visi.com/juan/congress/cgi-bin/newseek.cgi?site=ctc&state=ca

or call the Capitol switchboard at 1-888-818-6641.

3. Make the call. If you call during business hours, the phone will be answered by a staffer. If you call after hours, you will most likely be talking to a machine. Either way, your message should be the same.

4. First, give your name, and state clearly that you are a registered voter in your Congressman's district.

5. Next, state the reason for your call. Don't beat around the bush: "I'm calling to urge Representative Jones to..."

6. If your Representative is a steadfast supporter of the mission, you are calling to thank him for his support of the military, and to encourage him not to back down in the face of the opposition.

If your Representative is "on the fence" (this covers most Democrats), you are calling to thank him for his previous support of the military, and urging him to not to abandon the mission now that real progress is being made. Cite specific examples, such as the two rounds of successful elections (the third and final round is next week), the progress being made by the Iraqi Security Forces (as reported by Senator Joe Lieberman), and the fact that many Sunnis are now joining the political process. Be brief, but be sure to hit the main points.

Finally, if your Representative is one of the few arguing for a premature withdrawal, be courteous, but give 'em Hell. Make it clear that you oppose his position. Use words like "disappointed," "let down," and "betrayed." Demand that he reconsiders his position. You won't change his mind, but you just might get him to tone down his defeatist rhetoric.

7. Once you've delivered your message, thank the staffer for listening, and remind him that you will be watching the Representative's response very closely on this issue.

FOLLOW ON MISSIONS: Call your Senators with the same message; or call DNC Chairman Howard Dean at 202-863-8000 and give him a piece of your mind.


GO! NOW! MOVE!
