Tolerance must work both ways

I am so sick of being lectured about being tolerant by people who don't practice what they preach. Now, I know I have some attention. "What," you are asking? "He's not talking about guns this time?!" That's right, I'm not. I am talking about how the enemies of our culture, of our country, and our way of life are using our own principles as a weapon to destroy us. Let me give you some examples.

Muslims are always crying out about hate when they run into any opposition to the plans they are hatching. Of all the character assassins CAIR is the worse. They sued Michael Savage simply because they did not like what he was saying. Inclosed are some links for you to look at.

That last link should make your blood boil. There are plans to build a mosque in sight of the World Trade Center and the dedication for that mosque would be on September the 11th! Naturally there is outrage (and rightly so!) to this plan, and naturally the people who are against this scheme are being labeled with the racist/bigot brush. Let me point out some things about how tolerant our Muslim friends are.

And don't you dare draw a picture of the "prophet" Mohammad. If you want to see some people practicing peaceful Islam and showing that tolerance that they want then take a look. Michael Savage (the first link) has the right idea.

Look at this video. Our government looks to Fatah to lead the Palestinians and be a peace partner. Now watch this and tell me just how in the world you expect that to happen.

You can't open a church in Islamic countries. You can't witness for Christ in Islamic countries. I am so sick and tired of America being portrayed as the world villain. I am sick and tired of having to be tolerant while the people demanding that tolerance have none for themselves. The people of the United States need to wake up. We are surrounded by people who seek to destroy our way of life. If we as a people don't awaken to the dangers of corrupt politicians and other enemies who seek our end, the only ones we will be able to blame for our doom is ourselves.

Once again only one vote dictates freedom or tyrany

Yesterday, June 28, 2010, is a day that will go down in history. Let me tell you why. In a five to four vote the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the Chicago gun ban and ruled that:

The Second Amendment is an individual right and a civil right (like the right to vote for example)
We, as Americans, have a right to self defense
Ruled that the US Constitution supersedes state and local law

I'd just like to touch on these three points. First, all the rights in our Bill of Rights are individual rights. When the Constitution says people that is exactly what it means. The people. You and me. For example how could anyone say that the word people in the First Amendment be different than the word people in the Second? People are people right? Sadly, there are congressmen, senators, and even Supreme Court judges who make the argument that the people in the First Amendment are not the same people in the Second or even the Tenth Amendments. Just how they reach that conclusion boggles the mind, but they do. Just one vote certified that the people are indeed the people. That is scary. What would have happened if Justice Kennedy had ruled the other way? I shudder in dread and fear at the thought. Oh, and just one more thing. Justice Sotomayor who was nominated to the Court by President Obama stated she believed the Second Amendment was an individual right but voted for the gun ban in Chicago. So much for those individual rights huh? Here are some links about the case.

Mayor Daley says he will rewrite the ordnance and this writer believes that most likely what he will do is charge insane prices for training and a license so that the majority of lower to middle class Americans in the city simply would not be able to afford to buy a gun. That is just my opinion but I'll be a bearded gnome if he doesn't try a scheme like that.

Secondly, to affirm that we, as Americans, have the right to self defense all one needs to do is read what the Founders wrote on the subject. See some quotes here. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

The most troubling aspect of this for me is that the Court ruled that what it says supersedes State and local laws. That logic is flawed. The truth is that every State is independent and is a part of a federal republic. That is why the States have constitutions themselves. The United States Constitution is binding on the federal government only. Why you might ask does this matter? Freedom won yesterday, didn't it? No, not really. What happened yesterday is that one vote prevented the death of the Second Amendment and allowed the federal government to cede itself more power. And that is bad news for everyone.

Once again the Korean War is forgotten but Michael Jackson is remembered.

The Forgotten War fought in Korea began today in 1950 but you'd be very hard pressed to find anything about this bloody war in our schools or even our bookstores today. The insult is huge and frankly we, the American people, should be ashamed that we've allowed this outrage to begin much less to continue. However, that is exactly what has happened. Our veterans of this terrible war (my dad is a combat wounded Korean War vet himself) are largely ignored by the history books and the media. In President Obama's speech given today at 8am central time in which he talked about the housing market there was not one mention of the war that began so long ago. Korean War vets take being forgotten stoically. My dad has said time and again to me, "That's just the way it is." That is not good enough for me and by God it shouldn't be good enough for you either. Lets cut the crap and talk some numbers:

A three year long war begins
That war claims 36,516 American lives
92,134 American servicemen are wounded in this conflict
8,176 Americans are MIA
7,245 Americans are taken as POWs

The Korean War lasted from 1950 to 1953 and I don't give a damn that the United Nations called the war a "police action." It was a shooting war that claimed the lives of the sons and daughters of the United States. It was the first time that the sons and daughters of this country were asked to give their lives in a war without a congressional declaration of war. It was the first time that Americans were asked to give their lives for a UN mandate and the bureaucrats at the UN don't even have the decency to call it a war. A police action? Give me a break. The war began when communist North Korea launched a war of aggression against the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and our brave fighting men fought and bled and died defending a poor country that simply did not have the ability to defend itself and we here in America, for the most part, don't even remember this even happened. It infuriates me. It shames me. And by God, it should shame you too. We owe our fathers and grandfathers the honor that has been denied them for far to long.

To add insult to injury is when people in the public light say straight faced that World War II was the last war America (I guess that forgot about Granada, Panama, and the First Gulf War) won or dare to say that we lost the Korean War. How dare they. LOOK AT A MAP! IS SOUTH KOREA STILL THERE? YES IT IS! WE DID NOT LOOSE. South Korea is very much independent and went from being one of the poorest nations on Earth to one of the richest. Everyone in the public sphere who has ever uttered that slander owes a much higher debt than those of us who have forgotten this war even happened. That statement is an out and out lie, a slander, and it is repugnant. Thankfully the people of South Korea haven't forgotten the sacrifice that our dads and granddads made. In Vietnam, South Koreans bled and died alongside American soldiers. Even today in Afghanistan and Iraq the warriors of South Korea are there helping shoulder the burden and this writer for one thanks them.

The final insult on this hallowed day is the fact that while people have forgotten and/or ignored the fact that a war that claimed so many American lives (and took 138,000 South Korean lives) we remember that Michael Jackson, that great American artist died a year ago today. Last time I checked the major networks are planning a three day tribute to...no, not America's finest who were asked to give everything for a foreign country, but to...Michael Jackson. How the mighty have fallen. How the hell are we going to take our country back? People talk big about liberty and freedom and fighting the new world order and all this other big talk but let me tell you something. Until we take back our homes and teach our posterity just what a true hero is (and Michael Jackson IS NOT a hero) we are just kidding ourselves. The next time you see a Korean War vet, and there aren't many left, walk up to him, look him in the eye. Shake his hand and say, "Thank you sir. Others may have forgotten what you and yours did, but for me and my house, we remember."
