From a Vietnam Veteran at Michelle Malkin’s blog:
“The White Feather has been a symbol for cowardice. I suggest that white feathers be sent to the leaders of the Senate and House for the cowardly vote that abandons our soldiers around the world.
I was in Vietnam the day that the 101st took “Hamburger Hill” — the headline in the Stars and Stripes was Teddy Kennedy’s statement to the effect that it was all such a waste. I am sure it raised the spirits of the folks on top of the hill — I know it gave my morale a boost. Surely these leaders of our country will head out on a USO tour to encourage the troops further.
As far as I am concerned this is a Congress of Quislings.”
Wild Thing’s comment……
On April 9th, I posted about the film The Four Feathers, about cowardice. It is an excellent movie one that I wish everyone could see, not only a classic but one that will stay with a person always.
I think this is a marvelous idea to send a white feather in the mail to Reid, Pelosi, Murtha, Hagel, etc.
There is a store called Michaels ( a craft store) that would have white feathers probably or also a person can order them here, either individually or in bulk.
…..Thank you Mark for the information about the post at Michelle’s blog.

In our nation’s 230-year glorious history, we never surrendered at Valley Forge nor at the Alamo…so sad…so sickening…so UN-AMERICAN!
God Almighty save your Republic from the treasonous bastards in Washington D.C. and in our communities and media!
Given the level of paranoia I imagine must currently be used to screen the mail of congressmen, I wouldn’t be surprised if the feather was destroyed as a precaution in case it carried some type of biological weapon before the recipient saw it.
I have white feathers, lots of them. But you cant have any.
Suri-chicken-coup Raven – “Patriots wouldn’t want your white feathers…white flags…white surrender breast milk…nor snow white cowardice…quote Eddie the Eagle, nevermore!”
Patriots willingly die and go to the Lord to guard His pearly gates…it’s the oath we take…willingly, voluntarily and freely. Your ilk will never know nor understand that freedom is worth fighting for and if need be, dying for.
America’s blessings and Psalm 23 are inseparable!
When a chicken has a white feather in its tail it is considered a sign of ‘inferior breeding’, so Suricou, I bet you do have plenty of white feathers.
Suricou is a Brit lefty crank. She’s a fanatic. Anti-American, with the regulation list of looney lefty stereotypes. Fanatical anti-Christian with no more knowledge of Christianity than a termite has of a skyscraper. Her knowledge of history is two pamphlets from nowhere.
In all the time she’s been here, I’ve yet to see an original idea, or one that penetrates the surface of any issue more than the degree where her Old Labor silliness begins to scream its presence.
Of course she has lots of white feathers. Her head is full of them. She says “given the level of paranoia” about Congress. What paranoia? This is more of Suricou’s weird, twisted and creepy self-projection. Biological weapons? What? Two incidents and Eurocrank is calling it a trend.
Sometimes a lefty shows up with some mental ammunition, a consistent point of view, and the ability to argue the case. Not Suricou.
By the way, Suricou. See you at Britain Burqu-palooza in about five years. A nice black would look great.
Darth, yes it sure is UN-American. From the people that first came to this country to those of us that are here now, we don’t know the word surrender, unless a person is a democrat apparently.
Suricou so you have a lot of them, well isn’t that special…..NOT.
Rhod………….”See you at Britain Burqu-palooza”………..LMAO
Suri-coo-coo Britocrat: I love the SUN’S page 3 Girls and your pip-pip soccer, especially when you choke in the World Cup games! Did your Brit Royal Marines and Navy personnel carry white feathers last month when they surrendered immedialtely to the Iraniacs? Brit Ticklers? Thought so….!
Thank-You for your Red Coat blood and our freedom and independence over the last 230 years dear Surikook! Your Eurabian Union / Europeon Union is what it is… “Allah save the Queen!”
“Patriots willingly die and go to the Lord to guard His pearly gates.”
Oh, you are so much better than others because you are willing to die for your cause, unlike those muslim monst… oh, wait. Something isn’t right there. Being willing to die for a cause doesn’t show anything.
“When a chicken has a white feather in its tail it is considered a sign of ‘inferior breeding’, so Suricou, I bet you do have plenty of white feathers.”
All this fuss over one line, and I didn’t expect it to mean anything here as this blog doesn’t use avatar images… if it did, my usual pic is an albino raven.
“Fanatical anti-Christian with no more knowledge of Christianity than a termite has of a skyscraper.”
I know more about Christianity than most Christians – I know enough to see the rediculous sides, contradictions, and violations of common sense that most Christians have learned to avoid thinking of.
You should join me in #christiandebate on dalnet sometime. Its much more civilised than this place.
“In all the time she’s been here, I’ve yet to see an original idea, or one that penetrates the surface of any issue more than the degree where her Old Labor silliness begins to scream its presence.”
Old Labor is before my time. I vote for lib-dem anyway, unless there is a candidate who I particually approve of from one of the other parties.
“I love the SUN’S page 3 Girls and your pip-pip soccer, especially when you choke in the World Cup games!”
Oh, resorting to cheap national insults? I dont even know where to start on insulting the US… Poor education standards and the infamous stupidity of much of its population – not just a steriotype, but demonstrated in numerous international comparison tests? American cookery, where the quality of a meal is considered proportional to its fat content and mass? The patriotism to the point of blindness?
I too have a very low view of the Sun. I think the Scum would be a more appropriate name – it substitutes scandle, celebrity and speculation for news, leaving its readers with the false belief they are informed.
“She says “given the level of paranoia” about Congress. What paranoia? This is more of Suricou’s weird, twisted and creepy self-projection. Biological weapons? What? Two incidents and Eurocrank is calling it a trend.”
The number of actual biological weapons is irrelivent. My point was that congressional mail is certinly going to be screened for anything suspicious – letter bombs, white powder, etc. If a mail screener finds an envelope which contains a white feather, they might worry that the feather could be a carrier for a biological weapon, and have it either destroyed or sent to a lab for testing. It doesn’t matter that there has never been an attack like that in the past – its still something the security people would have considered as a hypothetical scenario, and taken precautions against.
Thank you, Suricou Crank.
Let’s summarize. Something you should learn to do. Suricous logic.
All causes for which people are willing to die are the same. Nor does willingness to die for something prove anything. Brilliant. I’m certain this describes Suricou’s attitude.
Suricou can dispense ironic commentary about the subject of the post..white feathers…but it isn’t proper to comment on it. Infantile.
Suricou is a Christian theologian because she claims to know more about the religion than “most Christians”. How she knows this doesn’t matter. She’s either a psychic, apparently, or a pollster, but probably just deluded about her knowledge. Oh, and the things Surciou knows about a Christianity are condemnatory, and Christians don’t think about these things. This is embarrassing testimony, but she doesn’t recognize it.
Surcious is new lib-dem, not Old Labor. Damn, I’ve been caught in an error. Ouch. They’re so very different.
Suricou resents cheap national insults, though she’s been dispensing them for over a year on this website. Hypocrisy? No, Suricous is in possession of a World Atlas and she’s lib-dem, therefore an intellectual and beyond evaluation. What bullshit.
Suricou’s second post is an attempt to dispute by re-evaluation, the content of a remark in her first post. Her use of the word “paranoia” is strategically ignored, as is the point of her remark. We can conclude, per normal, that Suricou hasn’t a clue about the meaning of her own commentary, and she’s not particularly honest. Surprising for one so smart.
Suricou presents herself as a thinker. Ludicrous.
Suricou, Post Script:
I’m sick of your bleating, your vapid, illogical and idiosyncratic prejudices about things you, clearly, know so little about. Your knowledge is so thin that your posts decompose before you’ve even finished them. I’d argue you with you anywhere, anytime, but you seem to want to argue about religion elsewhere. Why should I stoop so low? Do it here if you have the guts.
Oh yeah. For being such a dumb American, it didn’t take much effort to dispute this brilliant Brit.
I have a problem with the white feather being
used a symbol for cowardice.Carlos Hathcock
was called “White Feather” by the VC.as he would mark a kill with a white feather…You
want to mark cowardice try a nice wide yellow
stripe…
Surikookcoocoo Britocrap – On Sunday we 77% Christians celebrated our Brit forefathers voyage to America on the Susan Constance, Discovery & Godspeed at Cape Henry / Jamestown Virginia – April 29, 1607. I hear the Godspeed captain threw your family’s ancestors overboard at the Canary Islands for mutiny! The sharks said they tasted like … chicken! Go back to your BBC and excessive tax payments, and if another double-decker bus blows up….Al-Qaeda strikes AGAIN and it’s what you unfortunately deserve in the Europeon Union my shepperds pie sweetie! “Allah save the Queen?” Pip Pip…Boooooooooooooo!
PS: My US Air Force buddies dated Enlish babes and married them! The English Muffettes love American men for being the John Wayne patriots and studmuffins that we are! They love our country, our culture, our BEACHES and RESORTS, our movies, our television, our economy, our fashions, our food, our holidays, our lifestyles,
our alcoholic beverages, our shopping malls and sales, our freedoms, our technology and our motion lotion flavors, our colleges and universities…! “God save the President!”
There is one thing Suricou and I would agree upon.
It’s long past time to put The Church of England to sleep. It’s a useless survival of the past, and a monarchical farce. The adenoidal weirdo Prince Charles might someday be its chief representative.
Fewer than 6% of Brits attend Christian services; taken with all denomiantions, even fewer are COE. The brass of the COE has been, since the 1930’s, doctrinaire secular humanists, so the church represents the current liberal political views, whatevere they happen to be.
Fewer than one third of British college women, at current trends will have children in their lifetimes, so the growth of Muslim populations will very quickly overwhelm whatever putative Christian culture remains in Britain. This should happen with a short generation. Blairistan will end with the opening curtains of Englandistan.
A nation committed to its own extinction deserves no help, and the ridiculous proposition that Christianity is a civil and cultural force in England should be acknowledged for what it is. Just wait long enough, Suricou, and a Christainless Britain will be yours.
Ridicous.
