What Did This Student Do Wrong?
Sep 17, 2007 Uncategorized
Jay from Stop the ACLU sent a link to a story he posted about a University of Florida student who was tasered after asking John Kerry a question. Kerry was there for some kind of town hall question and answer and the student asked him something about being in the Skull and Crossbones when George Bush was. It is unclear to me if the student was pro or anti Kerry and if the questions were asked to show that Kerry is scum or to support him. There is just not enough to determine that. However, it is clear to me that the student did nothing wrong. He questioned a politician and no matter how stupid the question is, he has a right to ask it. Not according to the law enforcement there.
This is totally uncalled for and Jay demands the ACLU do something because they are, after all, against tasers. I would not hold my breath Jay. This guy was not a Muslim, an ILLEGAL alien, or an obvious liberal wacko so he is not protected. If it turns out he is a conservative then he will be hanged in the morning. It was nice of Kerry to tell the police to leave the guy alone that he did not mind answering the questions. Oh wait, the coward did not do that. He just allowed this kid to be dragged off and tasered for asking a question. Of course, Kerry is the same horse’s ass who cuts line at the airport (I would be arrested if he cut in front of me and he would be in the hospital). What has this country come to when a citizen cannot ask a question of an elected official? I hope that this video helps this kid sue the school (or the law enforcement agency) and that he gets millions of dollars for the violation of his civil rights.
I also hope they fire every one of those jack booted gestapo cops. Hell, if they can put border patrol agents in jail for shooting drug running ILLEGALS, they should be able to put these cops in Abu Ghraib for violating the rights of a CITIZEN.
As Jay points out, today is Constitution Day. How ironic that the government would violate it in this fashion.
UPDATE: Mr. Tyler Antar left a comment that he was at this forum and that the video does not tell the whole story. He indicated that the student in it, Andrew Meyer, was not arrested for asking questions (as it appears in the video) and he left his email for me to ask a few questions or interview. I have sent him a few questions and asked him to wirte up what happened and I will post it. If this is not what it seems we want to get the truth. That is why I asked What did this student do wrong? So someone could tell me and it looks like Mr. Antar is the one to do so.

Democrats; Terrorist Approved
Sep 17, 2007 Uncategorized
At the Gathering of Eagles in DC this weekend one of our folks had a sign that read “Who would the terrorists vote for?” This is a poignant question because the people who the terrorists would support are definitely not the ones that we want running this country. The left in America is hell bent on allowing the enemies of the west to determine our fate. The left panders to them as evidenced by Pelosi and Kucinich visiting Syria and attempting to undermine our position on the war on terror. People like this who go to our enemy’s countries and call the war illegal or talk badly about our president harm this country. This appears to be a defect coded in liberal DNA because the left’s history demonstrates time and again that they will talk badly about the US while visiting other countries, particularly our enemies. Clinton in Russia and Kerry in Vietnam coupled with today’s traitors are examples of the lengths these people will go to in order to bring defeat upon us.
World Net Daily has an article up that spells this out very clearly. The terrorists look at Cindy Sheehan as a beacon of light for their cause. Her position (which is the position of many on that side) gives hope to the enemy that the US will change its Mid East policies. The enemy is enamored with Sheehan’s words because they are the same words the enemy uses. They are words against our Republic and our way of life and they are damaging to this country. If this were the 1940s and Sheehan were around spouting off and Hitler found hope in her words, how many Americans would be happy about it?
Sheehan, of course, is off her rocker. She has gone mental and she follows all the voices in her head (that must sound remarkably like the Democrats leading this country). She was their useful idiot so after they won they distanced themselves from her and the promises they made and that she believed. The Democrats do want to end this war but not with a victory and not because they think we won. They want it to end because it is a political liability to them. They know that if this war is still in progress, if they take office in 2009, they can not end it or the defeat will come on their watch. They want it to end now, with defeat so that they can use the defeat as political fodder for their quests for power. They know, and make no mistake about it, that if they win they will have to keep troops in Iraq and that is why they want it done now. They do not care about the troops that have died, they do not care about the Iraqis who have died and they do not care about being in the middle of a so-called civil war. They only worry about the effect of this war on their chances of election. It is a double edged sword because people like Hillary have promised that id the president does not bring the troops home, she will when she is president.
Big words but like her hubby’s, these are calculated. He promised a middle class tax cut and then when elected he said that he was now able to look at everything and there are things that show he could not keep that promise. She will do the same, assuming she wins. She will get in there and say that after being able to look at the big picture she is unable to bring the troops home. That will be that and she will not care because she will be in office, the only goal she has. However, it will cost Democrats if they fail to bring troops home after winning the White House, as they promised. The reason they want it ended now is because they believe that it will help them win but if it is still going on after a win it will cost them because they know they will not be able to end it.
Cindy Sheehan and her ilk are useful idiots. They (and she in particular) were useful idiots to get the Democrats elected and now they are useful idiots for the terrorists. We need to ask ourselves who we want running this country, those who the terrorists despise or those with whom the terrorists agree. It is a simple choice for me.
I know there are many who believe the tired protest slogans from the 60s but, as one sign read at the rally, We gave peace a chance and we got 9/11.
The Democratic Party, terrorist approved.
BTW, I forgot the obligatory “Cindy Sheehan’s son died in Iraq” clause that the MSM uses. I feel sorry for him because he had to carry her DNA.
Big Dog Salute to Raven for sending the article.

Gathering of Eagles Update
Sep 16, 2007 Military, Political
The Gathering of Eagles rally was held in DC yesterday to counter the Communists of the various anti-war groups who vowed to create civil disturbances in order to get their points across. The were able to do just that because more than 160 of them were arrested for disobeying the law, as if this is a surprise.
First things first. I arrived on Friday and met up with Kat from Cathouse Chat and Wild Bill from Passionate America. We enjoyed a good talk and I felt as if I had known them forever. Kat is absolutely lovely and quite charming. Bill is as humorous in person as on his blog and is a very pleasant person. I met Justin from Right on the Right on Saturday and I also spoke with Kit Lange from GOE and Euphoric Reality. I was fortunate enough to meet Michelle Malkin and Congressman Duncan Hunter. I also got to spend the weekend with my brother. We don’t get to spend a lot of time together so it was good to be able to do so.
The Eagles arrived and had a huge rally. I do not know ho many were present but we were a sea of American Flags and the patriotism was thick in the air. After our rally we lined the protest route of the bad guys and were able to exercise our free speech rights when they passed. They were misbehaved and had vile signs that insulted the armed forces and the President. There were a lot of them and I noticed that more than half looked like 14 or 15 year old kids. Some of them tried to reach across the barriers and act tough but the police, who did a stellar job, removed them and made them get back in the march.
After they went by we met up at the Capitol where the bad guys got unruly. The police had a huge presence and they did not want anyone crossing the barriers. The GOE folks were well behaved and did not cross the barriers. The bad guys, on the other hand, began crossing and were arrested. They kept up the pressure until more police arrived and things got uglier.
I heard that one of our guys got into some altercation with one of theirs and the bad guy jumped on the GOE member and bit him. Then, the bad guy was beaten pretty good. The GOE members present restored order by breaking them apart and getting them away from each other. Not long after that the police arrived and the bad guy jumped his target again and received another beating until the police pulled them apart. Names were taken but no one was arrested. I was not present but I received this story from several folks who were there.
The bad guys vowed to stay there all night and taunted the police by asking if they would be able to stick it out. Seems like the police were unaffected as they kept taking more of the moonbats into custody. I am not aware of any of our folks being arrested, unlike the folks who want the President arrested and impeached because they say he broke the law.
During their assault on the Capitol I walked through the crowd listening to them and watching them. It was interesting to see all the signs with slogans from the 60s (drop acid not bombs) and to realize that many aged hippies were living vicariously through their children. The smell of marijuana in their crowd gave credence to the idea that the apple does not fall far from the tree. I also noticed that those who had been so tough when they were protected by barricades and the police became timid and displayed no such toughness even though I was vastly outnumbered. It as interesting to speak with some of them as two humans without the animosity. A few of us have more in common than we do not and people can be civil when removed from the mentality of the mob which makes me wonder why they run with a group that hates America so much. I wonder if some even know how vile the groups are, especially the one young man who thanked me for my service. He would do much better to find a way to voice his opposition without hanging with people who are dedicated to our defeat.
I also spoke with the police and thanked them for their work. All of them appreciated that and indicated that they never have problems with our group but that the other folks (the bad guys) were vile and always caused problems. It was obvious that the police respect us.
The day was good and we accomplished our mission. I am sad to see that the other side cannot conduct itself in accordance with the law but I am not surprised.
UPDATE: This post includes a link to a story that has been updated and now indicates there were more than 180 arrests.
Update 2: I committed a terrible error and did not mention that I also ran into Skye at the Gathering. I do not know how I could forget to mention such a charming and beautiful young lady. Sorry love!.

Democrats and Their Words
Sep 14, 2007 Political
The anti war Hillary (as opposed to pro war Hillary) showed up to speak at General Petraeus (none of them speak to him) and she said that it would take “a willing suspension of disbelief†to accept the General’s assessment of the situation in Iraq. The General has been on the ground in Iraq for a bit longer than a photo op or two with the troops and he is a leader, unlike Hillary who people follow out of morbid curiosity. It is interesting that Rodham would question the veracity of the statements made by a hero while ignoring those things that really take “a willing suspension of disbelief” such as:
- “I did not have sex with that woman”
- that Hillary was unaware of Bill’s many affairs
- That hubby worked harder than anyone to get bin Laden (BTW Dems, where is the criticism in this regard?)
- That Hillary did not know where her billing records were
- That Hillary and Bill were victims in Whitewater
- That Hillary was not involved in illegal fund raising
This is just a small list of items that take “a willing suspension of disbelief.†The clincher is that Hillary has Sandy “Hot Pants” Berger as one of her foreign policy advisers. Now it takes a suspension of a lot of things to think that Berger, who pleaded guilty to taking classified material without authorization, would be a top adviser to anyone but another criminal, but I digress…
Bill Richardson participated in a debate in Florida hosted by a Spanish network. I wrote a post about what he said to the people at the debate , which was conducted in Spanish (Spanish questions were translated to English and the answers back to Spanish). In case you missed it, Richardson said:
“I’m disappointed today that 43 million Latinos in this country — for them not to hear one of their own speak Spanish, is unfortunate,†Richardson said. “In other words, Univision is promoting English-only in this debate.â€
However, in July he said this:
Speaking to a group of about 100 supporters before the forum, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson promoted his status as the first Hispanic to run for president.
“I’m not running as a Latino candidate. I’m running as an American governor who is enormously proud to be Latino,” he said to cheers. Fox News
If he is running as an American governor who is proud to be Latino then why was he disappointed that the Latinos would not get to hear “one of their own” speak Spanish. It sure seems that when he spoke to the Latino crowd he was running as a Latino.
These are just two that happened to pop up while I was searching for something so I figured I would show them in the appropriate light. Now it is your turn. Use the comments section to write about the Democrats you know who talk out of both sides of their face in short periods of time. Don’t give me some guy who was pro life 20 years ago and changed to pro abortion last year, people can change over time. Give me the ones who change back and forth depending upon where they are and to whom they are speaking.
Have at it.
A reminder that I will be in DC for the Operation Eagle Justice this weekend. I plan on taking a lot of pictures.
