Theodore's World

Well, it isn't as good as "Surf City", and not as awful as "Tell Laura I Love Her". And if CAIR wants to go after someone for offensive music, I suggest Peter Paul and Mary.

You have my vote on that Rhod.

I am very angry about this. I had to wait a day to even post about it. It is the allowing anyone to tell the military how to run things, how to be PC etc. it is really whatever the expression is....."the last straw" or something like that.

What's a mother to do? Your kids (well maybe your spouse, parents, grandparents) go to Iraq. It's hot & nasty. There isn't much to do except take your life in your hands while you pray to G-d for safe return home. So your talented son writes a funny song & sings it in a fine voice. I would be proud of him for the song. I would rather he had stayed home. I would pray to G-d every minute for him to come home in good health. And I pray for the war to end ASAP. No one's kids, spouses, parents, nor grandparents should be there. There were no WMD.

A couple of well placed 2000 pounders in the CAIR headquarters would do two things, silence the bastards and make me happy, consider it interest earned from 9-11.

Thanks for the video, I saved it to my PC, I just love it, Cair is just a bunch of Pro Jihad Lobby, with funding from terror groups. In this supposed "war on terror" we allow the enemy to spin their propaganda right here in U.S.
That Marine has nothing to apologize for he should be given a medal for boosting moral. I think he should sing it on American Idol.
During WWII people like Bob Hope would tour and tell jokes that were offensive to the enemy and boost moral.
Why does CAIR find this offensive cuz it mentions their islamofascist allah or it boosts our troop moral?

Gloria, listen you up. You obviously do not have a son serving in this war. Not by the way you made your comment it does not read that you do. Soooooo I am going to tell you something.

First there WERE WMD but if you want to keep believing the lies from the left then that is your right to be a sheep sine you stated there were not WMD that is obviously what you choose to believe.

Second as far as your saying that NO ones kids, spouses, parents, nor grandparents should be there. Are you enjoying your living in freedom? Do you not want that for others? Do you not realize that the cost of freedom is NOT free, it comes at the highest cost of all, human life many times and it is the lives of our troops, that pay this price. Not to mention all the other sacrifices they make every day. For YOU to sit there and spout your BS from the left about this war against Islam and yes it IS against Islam in no uncertain words, is an insult to every Veteran that provided freedom for you, to every one of our troops fighting now to defend our country.

And third since you do NOT have someone serving now let me also tell you this Gloria. It takes a special kind of family and family member to have someone serving our country in the military. They serve too in a very unique way. Every second of every day with every breath they take they say a silent prayer that their loved one(s) serving will be safe and kept from harm. They don't sleep the sleep of the non worried, they sleep the sleep of the concerened as do those of us that care too about our troops. Ifi you ever meet someone that has someone serving now you should be humbled by them and honored to be in their presence just as you should be with our troops and Veterans. If not for all of them you and I would very likely be living in the same kind of dangerous life that is lived in Israel, or under the rule of communisim.

Now Gloria you go and have a nice day and know deep in your bones that you breath the air of the free and taste the joy of not being afraid to leave your home, and hear the singing of the birds instead of bombs going off in the streets and at market places. And only, ONLY Gloria becuase of those willing to fight for us, for America and for our freedom and for those that went before our Veterans!

Hi Jack, that is a marvelous idea I second that.

Hi Free nice to meet you. Your right CAIR is a bunch of Pro Jihad lobbists. Thanks for commenting.

Gloria:

A few thoughts from a vet and a war father....

Maybe I've said this too many times, but I have one son in Iraq, his twin brother is in Afghanistan, and their older brother...who has already served in Afghanistan and Guantanamo, is going back to Iraq in August, probably to Ramadi which is the next Fallujah. We worry but we're prepared for the possibilities.

While I served in Vietnam, their decisions to enlist were entirely their own, and we are not a military family. I'm not sure what your point is, but this war does not swing upon the presence of WMD's, and our boys did not go for this reason. They sensed something larger at work in the world. Being young and curious they wanted to witness it, and being young and brave they wanted to play a part in it.

One can appreciate your believer's pacifism, but I do not pray for the boys' safety either. This kind of prayer asks for something inherently unjust, which is spare your loved ones over the lives of another person's son or daughter. All you can reasonably pray for is courage in the face of calamity.

If war is an expression of our imperfection, it's also sometimes necessary to achieve something better but less than perfect. This war is that kind of war.

Rhod...although I don't know you personally I DO KNOW you. You are a good man and a wonderful father. Would you please tell me the first names of your boys. I would like to pray for each one by name for 45 days and say a 9 day Novena for each one. I am finishing one on Monday and would like to do that.

NOVENA TO THE RISEN JESUS
(pray for 9 days or 9 hours straight)
JESUS, I believe that by Your own power You rose from death, as You promised, a glorious Victor. May this mystery strengthen my hope in another and better life after death, the resurrection of my body on the last day, and an eternity of happiness. I firmly hope that You will raise me up glorified. Through Your glorious Resurrection, I hope that You will make my body like Your own in glory and life, and permit me to dwell with You in heaven for all eternity.

I believe that Your Resurrection is the crown of Your life and work as God-Man, because it is Your glorification. This is the beginning of the glorious life that was due to You as the Son of God. Your Resurrection is also the reward of Your life of suffering.

Jesus, my Risen Lord and King, I adore Your Sacred Humanity which receives this eternal Kingdom of honor, power, joy and glory. I rejoice with You, my Master, glorious, immortal, and all-powerful.

Through the glorious mystery of Your Resurrection, I ask You to help me to rise with You spiritually and to live a life free from sin, that I may be bent upon doing God's will in all things, and may be patient in suffering. Through the Sacraments, may my soul be enriched ever more with sanctifying grace, the source of Divine life. I also ask that you grant me this special request: (state your specific request or intention here!)

May Your Will be done!

Amen

Thank you Sierrahome. I've asked Chrissie to EMail you with my message.

Thanks Rhod!!!!!

To those who've fought for it 'freedom' has a taste the protected will never know. Have a nice day Gloria and sleep well at night.

Thanks Rhod, to you and your sons, action speaks louder than words and you have raised them right. May God watch over and bless them and your family.

We can't keep making withdrawals from the bank of freedom without making a deposit for the future,yet the non producers without conscience keep drawing from the same account like we owe it to them. Sadly to protect ourselves we must protect these Quislings too because they refuse to defend themselves or help us.

I think it's hilarious that you can still download the video from CAIR! Why waste your bandwidth? Use theirs! hahahhaahhaa

Gloria, get a clue. Here's one. Here's another. The WMD issue never was the whole issue, and even if it were, so what? Everyone knows they had them. They're probably in Syria right now--although you wouldn't know THAT if you got your information from the usual "antiwar" (scare quotes intentional) haunts.
The willful ignorance and intellectual dishonesty of the left is mind-boggling.

Sierrahome, you ROCK.

Rhod, I'll be praying for your sons too. Thanks for raising men who will step forward to defend freedom.

I keep playing that video! It's hilarious. Don't you just love our Servicemen!! They ROCK!

Rhod, I have one son packed and ready to go (they have had him on hold for several months now). He's in Germany right now (he's not complaining! lol). I CAN'T imagaine having 3 sons there.

It's encouraging that there are still ppl in this country who understand the meaning of honor! Like the other Beth said - thanks for raising MEN!

Beth, it is ok, I don't mind the bandwidth thingie and I would hate to have it posted and then assholes CAIR taking it down at their site. ugh.

Thank you Beth!

Beth haha I know what you mean I love it.

I hate to see the hierarchy of the Marine Corps get on the bandwagon of PC. It is becoming too commonplace now among the USMC staff. I could say a lot of negative things about politically orientated Brasshats, CYA, promotion happy, etc. Maybe if the generals put on the gear and actually kicked down doors, ate sand and dodged bullets, their perspective would be much more realistic.

Tom, great comment, I agree with you 100%.
