Thanks for that…

Somehting I have carried around for a bit, and something, of all people, Elenor Roosevelt, carried around with her during WWII, is a simple prayer:

“Dear Lord
Lest I continue
My complacent way
Help me to remember
Somewhere out there
A Man died for me today
— as long as there be war
I then must
ask and answer
“Am I worth Dying For?”

For those of us on the home front…something to contemplate.

Now this is the America I remember, an America where it didn’t take lawyers, judges, and the media to decide the appropriate punishment assigned to a man who took actions against his country or countrymen.

My youngest son is going to enter into the NAV-ROTC program following his graduation from HS next year. I’m extremely proud of him, as I am of all of our sons and daughters who choose this path, as they are America’s true treasure.

A cold blooded liar who,like the rest of the democratic party,sold out this country and stabbed our Soldiers in the back for political advancement.

jail or no jail,if I ran into this piece of sh!t,I would punch him dead in the face.Talking is no good to such a corrupt,lying sack of scum like Murtha.

Just for a “Change”.

This race is a national priority – Getting rid of the old sleaze Murtha would be enormously helpful in the House.

Bill Russell’s campaign is the kind that should garner tons of individual donations throughout the nation, not just locally.

I most certainly will. I cross paths with old grey dogs quite a bit because of the USMC stickers on my car. They usually send their regards. It makes me fell really good.

My USMC son re-upped in January for another 4. Two tours of Iraq already and headed for Afghanistan in a few weeks. Tell your son Semper Fi for me. This country is in good hands.

That gives me a place to start. My curiosity was peaked by that statement in the movie and I wanted to find out what that was all about.

If you donate, like me!, be sure you set the donation selection window for his defense fund!

I was surprised a couple of weekends ago when I watched the video Charlie Wilson’s War (which was surprisingly informative) that there was a mention in it about John Murtha. When Congressman Wilson was trying to increase the Pentagon’s appropriation to buy the weapons to give to the Aghanis to shoot down the Russian helicopters he makes the comment that we secured Murtha’s vote by helping Murtha out by giving him (Murtha) his support on the Ethnic Committee. I wonder if anyone knows what that Ethic Committee situation was. There was no reference to in it the movie. Was Murtha under investigation or was he securing votes for someone else?

Guess who the other was.

Ok, so it’s Ron Paul. But parsing over the names for certain individuals is difficult because it doesn’t give their FULL names.

Just tell me next time. ;P
