LONGMONT, Colo. – Dozens of high school students protested a temporary school policy forbidding students from displaying the U.S. flag.
Student Dustin Carlson told Denver station KCNC-TV that he was suspended for two days.

“I’m getting suspended for it and personally I think that’s uncalled for,” he said. “If this country means freedom, then why can’t we fly our own flag? It’s ridiculous.”

SAN DIEGO — In the wake of last week’s immigration-reform protests, one school district is taking drastic measures, banning all symbols of patriotism, both U.S. and Mexican.
Beginning Monday, the Oceanside Unified School District is banning all flags and patriotic clothing. According to school officials, some students are using the garments and flags to taunt classmates.
Some critics of the move are calling it a violation of free speech protections guaranteed by the Constitution.
The American Civil Liberties Union points to the landmark Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines. In that case, school officials attempted to stop students who were protesting the Viet Nam War from wearing black armbands.

“The school has to be able to show a strong likelihood that there is going to material and substantial disruption of school, and if they don’t meet that standard, then they can’t censor student speech,” said Kevin Neenan of the ACLU.

Keith Brentlinger displays the U.S. flag outside Hatter, Williams and Purdy, his Oceanside business.
Brentlinger said he was shocked on Tuesday when marching immigration-reform protesters tore down the flag outside his business.

“Some of them just grabbed the flag, and pulled it off its aluminum pole, and it got ripped,” said Brentlinger.

Brentlinger told NBC 7/39 that he put up a new flag the next day.
“Some protesters drove up in their car and snagged the flag from our building and took off,” said Brentlinger. “I was extremely, extremely upset. I mean, it was just … insulting is the word.”
School officials are saying that the ban is just temporary and that they were just trying to prevent violence. They would not say how long the ban would be in effect.

I suppose next week then there will be lots of Che Guevara shirts on campus! I will let our Flag speak for herself.

The Ragged Old Flag

The Ragged Old Flag

I walked through a county courthouse square
On a park bench, an old man was sittin there.
I said, “Your old court house is kinda run down,
He said, “Naw, it’ll do for our little town”.
I said, “Your old flag pole is leaned a little bit,
And thatÌs a ragged old flag you got hanging on it”.
He said, “Have a seat”, and I sat down,
“is this the first time you’ve been to our little town”
I said, “I think it is”
He said, “I donÌt like to brag,
but weÌre kinda proud of
that ragged old Flag.
“You see, we got a little hole in that flag there,
When Washington took it across the Delaware,
And it got a bad rip in New Orleans,
with Packingham and Jackson tugging at it’s seams.
And it almost fell at the Alamo
beside the Texas flag,
But she waved on though.
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville,
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard and Bragg,
And the south wind blew hard on
that ragged old Flag”
On Flanders Field in World War I,
She got a big hole from a Bertha Gun.
She turned blood red in World War II.
She hung limp and low a time or two.
She was in Korea and Vietnam,
She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam.
She waved from our ships upon the briny foam,
And now they’ve about quit waving her back here at home.
In her own good land here she’s been abused,
She’s been burned, dishonored, denied and refused,
And the government for which she stands
Is scandalized throughout out the land.
And she’s getting thread bare, and she’s wearing thin,
But sheÌs in good shape, for the shape sheÌs in.
‘Cause she’s been through the fire before
and I believe she can take a whole lot more.
So we raise her up every morning
We take her down every night,
We don’t let her touch the ground,
And we fold her up right.
On second thought
I DO like to brag
Cause I’m might PROUD
of that Ragged Old Flag

BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. soldiers are tasked to run security operations and route reconnaissance on Route Redwing, used by insurgents to bring supplies into Baghdad.
To prevent improvised explosive devices from endangering the lives of coalition forces and Iraqis, U.S. soldiers assigned to elements of the 4th Infantry Division and 101st Airborne Division have been tasked to run security operations and route reconnaissance on Route Redwing in southern Baghdad.
Prior to the soldiers taking over Redwing, insurgents used the route to bring supplies into Baghdad, said U.S. Army Spc. Derrick Marez, a gunner with Company D, 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment. Insurgents also used the route for a clear path to fire mortars at the International Zone in Central Baghdad.
Along the road, many improvised explosive device craters can be seen, some which took the lives of soldiers only a few months earlier. On the west side of the road, there is a house where insurgents planned attacks, said U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Steven Crafton, a Company D platoon sergeant. Soldiers nabbed the insurgents.

As the coalition works to hinder improvised explosive device placement, U.S. forces still need help from the Iraqi police forces, said U.S. Army 1st Lt. Christian Wollenburg, a Company D platoon leader. One of their main goals is to eventually hand over the route to the 4th Public Order Brigade, an elite Iraqi police unit.
The Iraqis now provide security at the checkpoint, controlling traffic and ensuring no weapons or explosives are brought into the area, he added. They are also conducting joint patrols with the soldiers.
Each patrol the 506th conducts, the light infantry tries to incorporate the Iraqis, said Wollenburg. Their presence lets the Iraqi people know their government is taking the needed steps to secure freedom for their country.
Wollenburg said the Iraqis are steadily improving. They are all wearing the same uniforms, carry their weapons correctly, and acting and moving as a unit.
The U.S. and Iraqi forces continuing efforts to eliminate the insurgency on Redwing will ensure safety, said Wollenburg. Their efforts will give the 506th troops the opportunity to use their combat power in another area and the Iraqi police the opportunity to take control of the mission.

Dateline NBC is apparently trying to set up a sting, asking “Muslim males” to go to sporting events such as NASCAR accompanied by NBC’s hidden cameras so they can film all the gawking “bigots.”

[Forwarded]
Salam,
I hope everyone is doing well.
I have been talking with a producer of the NBC Dateline show and he is in the process of filming a piece on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discrimination in the USA. They are looking for some Muslim male candidates for their show who would be willing to go to non-Muslim gatherings and see if they attract any discriminatory comments or actions while being filmed.
They recently taped two turbaned Sikh men attending a football game in Arizona to see how people would treat them. They set them up with hidden microphones and cameras, etc.
They want to do the same thing 2 or 3 other times (in various parts of the USA) with one or two Muslim men in each setting. They are looking for men who actually “look Muslim”. They want a guy with no foreign accent whatsoever, a good thick beard, an outgoing personality, and someone willing to wear a kufi/skullcap during the filming.
They also want someone who is fairly well accomplished and has contributed to American society at large in some meaningful way.
That said, I’m urgently looking for someone who can be filmed this April 1st weekend at a Nascar event (and other smaller events) in Virginia. NBC is willing to fly in someone and cover their weekend expenses. The filming would take place all day on Saturday and Sunday.

And here they are putting the word out:

We already have a hijabi sister who will be filmed there but a Muslim is also needed to join her. I also need candidates for the other filming segments which will take place in the following weeks.
A few weeks later, NBC will fly all the filmed participants to New York City to interview them as a group about their experience and thoughts on discrimination they’ve faced in America, especially in light of the times we live in (war on terror, 9-11, etc.). The show, if approved by NBC (highly likely), is expected to air sometime this summer.
What I need from interested candidates is an email with an attached clear photograph, a resume, and contact information. I also need basic information such as age, ethnic background, accomplishments, etc. The sooner I can get this the better and please don’t make emails too long. I will then submit a group of candidates to NBC so they can choose the people for the show.
Please forward this to all Muslim lists you can. Because of the upcoming filming in Virginia, this is pretty time-sensitive. My contact information is below.

Salam,
A couple of days ago, I sent out the email below regarding the NBC Dateline producer looking for Muslim males to be filmed. Alhamdulillah, I’ve been flooded with responses that will be forwarded to them soon. I just wanted to send an update that they decided to postpone the filming at the NASCAR event by one weekend (until April 8th). It’s still not too late to submit your information but the sooner, the better.
Also, a couple of sisters have inquired about submitting info. While NBC did mention that they prefer male candidates (because they feel that people are less likely to show discrimination to a woman out of courtesy), I will also forward emails I receive from sisters. They may consider filming another hijabi sister if she’s very qualified for the role. Please read the initial email I sent below about what to submit.
Again, please forward this out to as many email lists as possible.

Al Qaida network chief Abu Mussib Al Zarqawi has lowered his profile in Iraq to focus on operations in the Levant.
Western intelligence sources said Al Zarqawi has increased activities in such countries as Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority. They said Al Zarqawi has sought to lay the groundwork for an Islamic war against Israel.
“Zarqawi is very busy these days,” an intelligence source said. “But his attention is moving from Iraq to the Gaza Strip.”
The sources said Al Zarqawi has been forming ties with Palestinian insurgents in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. They said Al Zarqawi has begun to cooperate with the head of the military wing of Hamas, Mohammed Deif. They said that in 2006, about a dozen Al Qaida operatives entered the Gaza Strip to form cells.

Wild Thing’s comment…..
But wait, the Lefties say give Hamas a chance. ugh!
This is weird or maybe I head this wrong….according to other reports, Zarqawi was “fired” by the resistance in Iraq. So they’re now claiming he left to pursue other interests elsewhere?
Mossad will find the terrorist bastard.

DEAR CONGRESSMAN MURTHA…By JOHN A. LUCAS

ISAW YOU ON TV recently. With all the venom and bile you could muster, you pronounced, “This is George Bush’s war.”
I understand fully what you were saying. You were telling the country and – more import- antly – our enemies, that this is not your war, that you do not support it.
More than that, you were saying that it is not your party’s war. And, you were telling Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Osama bin Laden and their jihadist allies that it is not America’s war: “This is George Bush’s war!”
You are wrong, congressman. Dead wrong. You are wrong on three levels: institutional, historical and moral.
On the institutional level, Congress voted to authorize this war. Virtually every prominent Democratic politician spoke in favor of its objectives – Hillary and Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Madeleine Albright and Joe Lieberman, to name just a few.
Many now conveniently ignore or seek to rationalize their vote. A few courageously stand by it.
But, it is not Congress’ war, either. When Congress voted to authorize the war and the commander-in-chief gave the order to initiate it, it became our war. Ours: yours, mine, the country’s. Our war, sir, not George Bush’s.
You are wrong, too, about history – past and future. You were referring, of course, to the Iraq “war.” However, history tells us that this is one battle in a larger war against radical, fascist Islamic fundamentalists who seek to conquer.
Do you know your history, sir?
Do you listen to what our enemies say?
Listen, they will tell you: They seek to restore Islamic rule and sharia law over that portion of the world that they regard as historically “theirs.”
They mean not only the Mideast, but northern Africa, central Asia – and even Spain.
Then, they seek to expand that rule by imposing the same regime on any country where there is a significant Muslim population, anytime. They mean Europe, Nigeria – keep your eye on Nigeria, congressman, it is already happening in that most populous country of Africa – and, yes, the United States.
Do you deny any of these things? On what basis, sir?
They rightfully identify the United States as the sole power capable of standing in their way, of marshaling opposition to them.
Calling this battle “George Bush’s war” won’t blunt their strategy. No, it supports it.
Have you forgotten the other Islamic fascists’ battles against us, indeed against the world?
Do you remember the airplane hijackings, the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon, the USS Cole, the bombing of a barracks at a U.S. air base in Spain, bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the World Trade Center in 1993, in 2001?
They all are part of this war that George Bush did not start.
Yet they are not even the beginning of this war, congressman. This war has been going on for centuries, and it is not going to end if we retreat now, as you advocate.
Finally, you are wrong on the moral level.
Let me explain, lest you think that you have a monopoly on morality.
My son is now preparing for his second combat deployment in this battle. He will tell you that it is his war.
In his first combat tour, my son wrote: “I truly see this as a battle between the forces of good and evil. How can anyone not? Good brings hope to a whole people that have never known any and evil cuts the heads off innocent civilians on TV.”
THAT SORT OF sums up the morality that our soldiers see. He and his comrades would like to think that they are not fighting this alone, that this is not just their and George Bush’s war.
They would like to think that they fight for this country, including you, congressman.
It is their war, it is my war, and it is this country’s war.
My son’s life, and the lives of all the men and women fighting this battle are too precious to be endangered by politicians who give aid and comfort to our enemy in order to score rhetorical political points.
If you will not desist, I can only hope that responsible members of your party will repudiate your dangerous rhetoric and condemn your assistance to our enemies.

“Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak chats with contestants during the popular game show’s Armed Forces Week, which airs April 3-7 in most U.S. markets.
WASHINGTON, April 3, 2006 – It’s Armed Forces Week on “Wheel of Fortune.”
In an effort to highlight the U.S. military, one of the world’s most popular television game shows is featuring 15 members of the armed forces in this week’s competition.

“The episodes, taped in February in Culver City, Calif., are a way for the show to express its appreciation for the military, said Amy Prenner, the senior unit publicist for Sony Pictures, which produces the show.

“We’ve done a week like this once before in San Diego,” Prenner said. But this week features servicemembers from all over the United States.

This should make the host Pat Sajak feel right at home. Sajak was an Army broadcaster in Vietnam. He continued Adrian Cronauer’s “Good Morning, Vietnam” greeting from 1968 through 1970.

“This is a tough time for our men and women, and they are doing some tough work, and not always with universal appreciation for what they are doing,” Sajak said in an interview with the Pentagon Channel. “This is our way of reminding Americans of the great work they do and our way of showing a little appreciation and, hopefully, spreading a little money their way.”

Harry Friedman, the show’s producer, said he appreciates the sacrifices U.S. servicemembers make. “We’re a game show; we’re all about having fun,” Friedman said. “But we also have great respect for our armed forces, the men and women who serve in every single branch.”

The show listed participating servicemembers :
Beran Young, U.S. Navy, Naval Medical Center San Diego
Vince Boncich, U.S. Army, Ft. Bragg, N.C.
Diana Aragon, U.S. Marine Corps, Camp Pendleton, Calif.
Paul Cemanec III, U.S. Navy ROTC at San Diego State University

ALEXANDRIA, Va.
A federal jury found al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui eligible Monday to be executed, linking him directly to the horrific Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and concluding that his lies to FBI agents led to at least one death on that day.

“You’ll never get my blood, God curse you all,” Moussaoui said afterward. He had sat in his chair and prayed silently as the verdict was read.”

After months of hearings and trial testimony punctuated by Moussaoui’s occasional outbursts he now faces a second phase of the sentencing trial to determine if he actually will be put to death.
That phase begins Thursday morning for the only person to face charges in this country in connection with the nation’s worst terrorist assault, the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people as jetliners crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.
The jury now will hear testimony on whether the 37-year-old Frenchman, who was in jail at the time of the attacks, should be executed for his role.
Those testifying will include families of 9/11 victims who will describe the human impact of the al-Qaida mission. Court-appointed defense lawyers, whom Moussaoui has tried to reject, will summon experts to suggest he is schizophrenic after an impoverished childhood during which he faced racism in France over his Moroccan ancestry.
Wild Thing’s comment……
Wait just a dog gone minute here……..“impoverished childhood during which he faced racism in France over his Moroccan ancestry.”…………..
Can you believe this?? I have lost count how many times in my life I have heard lawyers say this about the bad guys, that our police officers bust their butts and risk their lives to catch, and then a lefty lawyers and Judges will blame the bad guys up bringing as an excuse.
The jury should have reached a decision in less than ten minutes. The fact that they took so long shows that many people in this country still don’t get it.

“The descent from truth to the darkened level where one calls evil good, and good evil, requires intense hatred. … The Communist recruiters had to soften up their candidates by teaching them to hate.”

The fight against evil
What is a common example of disbelief in evil? A person who calls terrorists “freedom fighters” is giving away the fact that he does not believe they are evil. If the random murder of civilians by zealous fanatics is not evil, then nothing is evil. Therefore, it is a fair deduction that many of those who do not believe the terrorists are evil also do not believe in the existence of evil.
Those who deny the existence of evil are often outraged when good men give evil a name and fight against it. This outrage sometimes prompts them to take the side of evil. Their wish to vindicate their stand that evil does not exist naturally leads them to become apologists and defenders of evil.
The term “freedom fighters” confers praise to evil. The defense of evil can be very close to the admiration of evil. Evil is seductive precisely because it is secretly admired by deeply-buried chambers of darkness in the human heart. Therefore, it is very difficult to defend evil without slipping into the veiled admiration of evil. This is why the ACLU has slipped from defending evil clients because they have constitutional rights, to having solidarity with miscreants and enthusiasm in their advocacy of evil causes.
The dark journey downward into evil
The passage from truth to the hideous delusion that evil is admirable–and even good–is a journey through shadowy corridors and through several levels of descent into darkness. This journey into darkness typically has at least seven stages. They are like seven levels of dark basements that one descends in series.

1) The first floor down into the darkness involves denial that one is a sinner. One remains there until he erects defenses against the idea that he is a sinner. Then he can resume his downward descent. The place is dark because the defenses of denial will not allow light to intrude.
2) From the stage-one denials, the journey into darkness proceeds downwards to a second denial–the denial that evil exists. This is followed by the erection of defenses against the idea of evil.
3) Then comes the descent into the delusion that those who fight evil are themselves evil: (a) “You must be evil because you say those nice freedom fighters are evil,” and (b) “You must be evil for breaking our ‘speak no evil’ rule. You shock our sensibilities by telling us about the disturbing things that those nice gays are doing.”
4) Next comes the hatred of those who fight evil. Hatred is a crucial stage in the developmental process of evil and leads to many delusions. Without hatred, paranoid conspiracy theories and poisoned ideologies cannot come into existence.
5) The fifth floor down into darkness is to believe–or to be willing to tell the lie–that evil things are good, and good things are evil. “Woe unto them who call evil, good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20)
6) The sixth stage is to hate the victims of evil or to hate those whom the good guys are protecting. When professor Ward Churchill called the victims of the 9/11 terror bombings “little Eichmanns”–i.e., like Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi mass murderer–he was functioning at the sixth level of evil and hatred.
7) The seventh stage of evil is serial killing, terrorism, and genocide.

The American left blames the hatred for America and the abundance of recruits for terrorism on American foreign and military policy. However, evil is not reasonable–a hard reality that those who deny the existence of evil are unable to understand.
It is astonishingly naive to suppose that the anti-American hate-machine will close down if we are nicer to jihadists. This would be like telling Jews in Nazi Germany that it was their own fault they were on their way to the gas chambers because they were not nice enough to the Nazis.
Evil exists …….It cannot be bargained away, placated, appeased, or persuaded. It will keep on coming until someone has the moral courage to stand against it.
Wild Thing’s comment….
Some nuggets worth pointing out from the full article…

Those who trust in the power of truth feel no need to shout.
…our battle is not one of good versus evil, but of truth versus evil.
When a society denies the existence of evil, the forces of evil are given cover.
The descent from truth to the darkened level where one calls evil good, and good evil, requires intense hatred.

The bristly Joe McCarthy was right, David Horowitz and others are right today, and anyone who understands this ….the REDS are here and well and out to kill this relatively young country!
Once and awhile I share something here at my blog that is a part of my childhood/ my family. What I am going to share with you is because evil/leftism has to be fought or we will disappear as a country. Just as PC is a very big part of it too and we all know how PC has taken things to new depths of evil.
When I was growing up we had many visitors to our home in Illinois. I am not sure even today how many of them came about, I simply experienced them. It was not unusual for us to entertain authors and other people that had become well known in the world. My Father’s business and business interests were throughout the world so maybe that is one of the reasons the various contacts were made. But each time we had a visitor it was a remarkable time in my young life. I would sit and listen to their conversations and take it all in. Something inside of me knowing it was a unique experience and one to be savored. Each person I remember distinctly spoke of leftism and the evil it brought to the world. As I got a little older they also spoke of PC and how it would chip away at America effecting many of our freedoms.
Many memories but one of the memorable ones was a man named Malcolm Muggeridge. Muggeridge defined liberalism as a “death wish” and spoke of it being responsible for the destruction of the moral and cultural traditions of Western Civilization. Muggeridge was right and when I saw this article and I just had to post it. As I did a flood of memories ran through my head of my years spent listening to my Father and others speaking on this very subject of the evil/leftism.
Not to take away from the article I posted, but I would like to include here two quotes by Muggeridge.

“One of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we’ve developed to a very high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they believe in anything.”

“Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.”

I apologize for my running on like this, call it old age, well not too old haha, it is just a regular old shoe kind of girl (me) looking back and connecting the dots to the world today.

They have the same mental defect that is pravalent among the Democrats. They hate the US, but they want our money. The other day on the radio I heard I heard a teacher from Los Angeles Unified say, “We are teaching this to the children. We support these demonstrations.” They provided buses to the students.
They’re quite racist, while shouting racism. They possess a populist sense of “folk” that is almost Hitlerian in scope. They’re being agitated and organized by the usual, collectivist suspects. In my opinion, these foreign invaders made a major Public Relations blunder with their arrogant waving of foreign flags in our country.
Maybe they don’t care about Public Relations, maybe they are just stupid, or maybe they really want to take us on.
Wow! They are brazen, ignorant assholes.
Here is a question for those of you illegals trashing this country in your protests and vile use of putting our Flag upside down. If the U.S. is so inferior, then why are you here?
