Theodore's World

I am bringing this back up to the top.
I had posted it on Monday the 24th. But it is sooo important.

To my husband ( Retired Navy Vet), and to all the other men in my family that have served in various branches of the Military, to the Veterans of every war Americans fought in and to the troops serving now. I am so sorry about these people, Gold Star Mothers for Peace, I am sorry they exist!
Gold Star Mothers for Peace (breeders most definitely NOT mothers) are going to be holding parties across America to celebrate when the 2,000th soldier dies in the line of duty in Iraq. Oh they are organized all of them, and they are coming out from under rocks. Groups like American Friends Service Committee (hosted by the Gold Star Mothers for Peace), we all know that is Cindy Sheehan’s gig, others too …….just look at this……

“Soon we’ll be reaching another horrific milestone in the war in Iraq – the death of the 2,000th U.S. service member. AFSC, Military Families Speak Out, Gold Star Families for Peace, and Iraq Veterans Against the War are calling for people across the U.S. to stand up and say that the needless killing of U.S. troops and Iraqis must stop and that the resources funding this war are needed for other things.”

These are the people whose sick minds hold up signs like this….

They are all prepared to hold events, parties you name it for the moment the 2000th soldier is killed in the line of duty in Iraq.
They are on the side of the insurgents, the side of the PLO, the side of the Taliban and anyone that can kill one of our soldiers. They are not against violence, they create violence, their hate and anger run deep, it is part of their DNA to hate America, to Hate our Military. They are the ones that are PRO death in their wanting abortions that murder innocent babies. And yet they are against the death penalty when someone has been proven to be a killer of innocent people. Their cheering on the deaths of our troops, they are cheering for every IED, for every suicide bomber, for every attack on our troops that might lead to the death of one of our soldiers. (Army,Navy, Air Force and Marines, National Guard, etc.) as long as they are killed in this war.
These people, these sick and twisted people live off the freedom we have and don’t give a damn you gave it to us. You and I know, we know that our freedom came at a very high price. It was paid for with the blood, and sacrifice of thousands of our Military in wars fought over the years. In Vietnam the wonderful Nam Veterans fought Communism. Our Veterans took a thousand towns and villages, snow fields and empty stretches of ocean, the jungles hot and deep, and fought the fight for FREEDOM, and turned them into sacred places with their courage in the face of unimaginable horror.
These sickos wants us to leave Iraq, to run away from the insurgents so the insurgents can show up later on our shores, in our cities and towns and kill not only us but these idiot sickos as well. They are soooo stupid they don’t even realize or perhaps they don’t care that the terrorists want them dead!
Long ago President Reagan felt we would have problems with Islam and it’s followers………

“I don’t think you can overstate the importance
that the rise of Islamic fundamentalism
will have to the rest of the world in the
century ahead-especially if, as seems possible,
its most fanatical elements get their
hands on nuclear and chemical weapons
and the means to deliver them
against their enemies.” –Ronald Reagan

Right now there are 281 events planned in 47 States and more to join in probably. These sick groups are going to be asking Congress to stop funding this war. And what these people are doing is treasonous. ALL of them, every breath
they take in free air is because of our troops, our Veterans that paid the price for their being able to do what they are and these vile, treasonous, communists should be kicked out of our country.
The First Amendment is one thing…but these people are among the worst examples of humanity…what they are doing is beyond my imagination. Pure scum is all they are.
They camped out right where the soldiers have to wait to pick up public transportation. They’re camped out by (and timed to coincide with) the buses bringing the freshly wounded from Andrews Airforce Base. The first thing the wounded see is not the safety of a military medical base – but “you got maimed for a lie”. Forcing wounded soldiers to walk a gauntlet of hostile peaceniks when they’re just trying to get treatment.
You already know that Code Pink donated a check for $600 K plus to the insurgents in Iraq. That is old news but it still makes me urious!
They don’t give two hoots in hell about our troops or even the war – all they care about is getting their smarmy pink mugs on television.  Everything they supposedly stand for is a lie. There is not one single ounce of compassion in their empty hearts – it’s all publicity and politics – period. 
How often have we said of the hostile reception Vietnam vets got upon returning home: “Never Again. We will never allow our war vets to experience the demeaning treatment and hatred the left heaped upon them during Vietnam.” This was going to be the generation of vets that felt appreciated, admired, and honored.
God help us as a Nation. lease pray for our troops! I invite you to visit my Troops Today page at my web site.
We are winning this war. I hate that men and women have lost their precious lives in this war. But there has never been peace without war.  America is a perfect example of this. And for myself, for my loved ones (family and friends) we will always be deeply grateful for those that gave us our freedom, and for the freedom our Military has fought for so others can taste freedom too.

Beth at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has an excellent write up about this too.

And also check it out at Blackfive too.

All is well here in Sarasota. Tons of tree branches down and neighbor had tiles from his roof come off. We walked the property and another neighbors fence is a mess.
Thank God we all are ok. Now I wait to hear back from other friends that are without power to get in touch with us.

There are two items in this post I would like to share with you
Item Number one……..
A Quran In The White House

As we all know President Bush had a dinner celebrating Ramadan. At this dinner he proudly proclaimed….”For the first time in our nation’s history, we have added a Koran in the White House Library.”
Diane West that wrote the article said this and I agree…..

“the Koran is indisputably the favorite book to twist for the extremist agendas for Osama bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the killers of Daniel Pearl, Hamas bus bombers, London Underground bombers, and anyone who has ever hidden an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) on an Iraqi road to kill or maim an American soldier — none of which is the best recommendation for White House honors.”

.

Natan Sharnasky,Chairman, One Jerusalem tells of his visit last May and how he had an opportunity to meet General John Abizaid, Commander of the U.S. Central Command, which is repsonsible for Iraq, Afghanistan, and several other hotspots in the war against America’s enemies.
General John Abizaid described the enemy we are fighting as people who are committed to re-establishing the sixth century Muslim Caliphate. They started this process under the Taliban in Afghanistan. In practice, this Koran based system, gathered tens of thousands of people into stadiums to witness the executions of innocent people who were accused of acting contrary to the Koran.
Wild Thing Comment…….
Intellectually I suppose Bush has some reason (?) for doing this. But emotionally and when looking at ONLY the FACTS this can only make matters worse. To give in to Islam at all in any way, only encourages the terrorists to gain more and more control. No matter how many of us there are and no matter how passionate we feel about NOT giving in to the terrorists, it does not have the same impact as the leader of the most powerful country in the world, the good ole USA, the Red/White and Blue United States of America taking a strong and firm stand against Islam, against their vile Quran and agaisnt the demands of the Abbas’s , the Osama’s and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s of the world. The Quran is the center of their (the terrorists) violent campaign.
I voted for President Bush, I have been a Republican all my life and will continue to be. I have never regretted voting for President Bush. But no one is perfect and this IMO was a big mistake on our President’s part when he could have stood strong against the axis of evil and their how to book.

Item Number Two…….

.
I received an email today from NewsMax about signing a Petition.
“Dear NewsMax Readers:
Please find below an urgent message from Natan Sharansky, Chairman of One Jerusalem.
Jerusalem’s fate is in trouble and Natan needs your help to keep it one, united city. Please read his important information below and take a moment to sign his special petition.”
This is very important and I agree with the Petition so I am passing it along.
‘Today Gaza, tomorrow Jerusalem’ – this slogan has been adopted by the President and Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority as well as terrorist organizations everywhere.
Make no mistake about it – Jerusalem is in the sights of the terrorists who are waging war against the United States, Israel, and peace-loving people worldwide.
I am writing you today to ask your help to save Jerusalem – and make sure it remains the capital of Israel. More Here

Natan also spoke out against the Disengagement that so many of us, Christians (like myself) and especially the thousands upon thousands of Jews that worked so hard to try and stop the disengagement.

“A tragic mistake that will exacerbate the conflict
with the Palestinians, increase terrorism and dim
the prospects of a genuine peace.”
Natan Sharansky
Former Minister of Diaspora Affairs-May 2005

Wild Thing Comment…….
Israelis made their desert bloom. They built the only industrialized economy in the entire Middle East. They built the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. I am a fierce supporter of Israel’s survival and have no sympathy for the Palestinian side in the conflict in the Middle East.
Terrorists see concessions as a victory and proof that their violence works, as the Oslo process and the withdrawal from south Lebanon have shown. That’s why everyone accepts that you don’t negotiate with terrorists. It is therefore only logical to conclude that further concessions will result in more terror when future demands are not met, as the PA leadership continues to proclaim.

Well the patio furniture is all in the garage and the potted plants are all in a safe place too.
Now we just wait and pray.

I live in Sarasota,Florida

I am a new Blogger so am also new to which Bloggers are in Florida. My friend Linda at Something…and Half of Something told me about Boudicca’s Voice ,The Florida Masochist, The Florida Cracker and I am adding Ranting Right Wing Howler too because I know he is also in Florida.

The reasons almost 2,000 American personel were murdered are:

1. Our power has made the European countries jealous and bitter. When they saw Saddam was out of power, they knew that they were trumped. Observing that we spared the Republican Guard who were the “Picadors” that were killing our soldiers, the Euros stood back and let us “get ours”.
2. When we won the Iraqi war and we did! They realized that all their corrupt dealings with Saddam would come out so they played “hands off”.
3. The Democrats meanwhile, are like the Officer who kept egging on the criminalization of Captain Quig until the Mutiny on the Caine was done. But when the court marshall occured he was no where to be found. He would NOT take responsibility!
4. If we weren’t so soft in War (where we could easily wipe out ALL the Militants) because we don’t want to be looked at as “bad” people. Iraqi would be free and thriving today. It is like going after Cancer only on the surface.

We have been too nice to our socialist Europeans! We saved them in WW11 and they hated us for that. Because it exposed how worthless they are. In the future we should learn from our mistakes and be PROUD of our power! And use it to its fullest extent without feeling guilty!

My husband is retired Navy and he bought me my computer years ago during the Clinton regime so I could post at Forums about the Bill and Hitlery Clinton. He does not want to use the computer but once and awhile he likes to write his opinons down.
He will be posting as Angry Old Salt

Font in BOLD is my opinion throughout article

Washington Post
Karzai Condemns Alleged Body Desecration
By AMIR SHAH
The Associated Press
Friday, October 21, 2005; 8:28 AM

KABUL, Afghanistan — President Hamid Karzai on Friday condemned the alleged desecration of the bodies of two dead Taliban fighters by U.S. troops, but he said mistakes happen in war and Afghans shouldn’t let it mar their impression of the United States. Condemned???? did he condemn the attacks on the USS Cole, 9-11-Beriut and other attacks by Muslims on the US?
His apparent attempt to reduce Afghans’ anger over the incident came amid warnings by Islamic clerics of a possible violent anti-American backlash.
Where was the Afghans anger at those that committed war on 9-11 and all the other attacks on Americans throughout the world!
“Sometimes things happen in these sort of operations, during war. Soldiers make mistakes,” he told reporters in Kabul. “We are very grateful for the international community’s assistance. … Their soldiers have shed their blood in our country.”
But he added, “We in Afghanistan in accordance with our religion … are very unhappy and condemn the burning of the two Taliban dead bodies. I hope such incidents will not occur again.”
Karzai on Thursday ordered an inquiry into television video that purportedly shows U.S. soldiers burning the bodies of the two dead Taliban fighters to taunt other militants. The U.S. military also launched an investigation.
The U.S. military declared the alleged abuse “repugnant” and vowed to investigate, while the State Department directed U.S. embassies to say such actions don’t reflect American values.
Australia’s SBS television network broadcast the video purportedly showing soldiers burning the bodies of two suspected Taliban fighters in hills outside Gonbaz village in the southern Shah Wali Kot district _ an area plagued by Taliban activity and considered by the local security forces as too dangerous to venture into unless accompanied by U.S. troops.
Viewers of the video saw a group of about five troops in light-colored military fatigues, which did not have any distinguishing marks, standing near to a bonfire in which two bodies were laid side by side. The flames obscured the view of the bodies, making it impossible to tell if the remains were of Taliban fighters.
The network said the video was taken by a freelance journalist, Stephen Dupont. Dupont, who told The Associated Press that he was embedded with the Army’s 173rd Airborne Brigade, said the burnings happened Oct.1st.
Cremating bodies is banned under Islam, and one Muslim leader in Afghanistan compared the video to photographs of U.S. troops abusing prisoners at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison.
“Abu Ghraib ruined the reputation of the Americans in Iraq and to me this is even worse,” Faiz Mohammed told The Associated Press from northern Kunduz province. “This is against Islam. Afghans will be shocked by this news. It is so humiliating. There will be very, very dangerous consequences from this.”
Threats? Threats ?? HEY! Show me where this Faiz Mohammed made threats to the Taliban after 9-11 !
A cleric in Kabul, Said Mohammed Omar, said, “The burnings of these bodies is an offense against Muslims everywhere. Bodies are only burned in hell.”
Video of the alleged act has not been broadcast yet in Afghanistan and though the local media has reported on it, many people were still not aware of it. There have been no demonstrations such as the anti-American protests in May that turned violent and killed 15 people over a report _ later retracted _ that U.S. soldiers at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility desecrated Islam’s holy book, the Quran.

Wild Thing’s Comments continued in bold….
This is regarding the trashing of the vile Quran….
-Not one of these illegal enemy combatant detainee’s
who came from Afghanistan had a Qur’an in his
possession when captured
-A brand new Qur’an in the specific, native language
of each individual was provided to each “enemy combatant”.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detained at Guantanamo is
given three nutritious halal meals (culturally-appropriate and
in accordance with Islamic dietary law) per day. The meals
include all optional condiments.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee receives Muslim feast
meals at special times in accordance with Muslim feasts and holy
periods during the year.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee has unrestricted access
to Muslim Imams and religious instruction
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee has a Quibla, a large
green and white sign in his cell which points toward Mecca.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee hears Islamic loudspeaker
calls to prayer five times daily.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received a brand new
Muslim prayer cap.
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received a brand new
prayer rug
-Each illegal enemy combatant detainee received brand new
Islamic prayer beads. Each illegal enemy combatant detainee
received Islamic holy oil.
-Each illegal enemy combatant had ALL of this done and paid
for him at US taxpayer expense and this is far, far in excess of
requirements delineated by Geneva Convention Cat. III protocols
on the treatment of Prisoners of War. Why is none of this
information coming forth from the mainstream media?
On June 1, 2005 – Seventeen people were killed today when a suicide
bomber reportedly linked to al Qaeda and the Taliban blew himself
up in the Abdul Rub Akhundzadar Mosque in Kandahar province.
And this is a darn good reason to burn dead bodies…..
Stench Prompted U.S. Troops to Burn Corpses

Lt. Nelson took the decision that could jeopardize his service career. “We decided to burn the bodies,” one soldier recounts, “because they were bloated and they stank.”

Now look you terrorists!
You waaaaa and Boo Hoo about your freakin Quran and then you yourselves show no respect for it.
What do you do? You go and blow up your mosques where …
hello……there are Qurans in there….YOUR place of worship and
you could care less about it. No condemnations when THAT happened!
NO outrage at all when one of your own does something against respecting your Quran, your mosques, your so called Religion of Peace.
Give me a break!

Coming to U.S. Film Fests: Movie “Humanizing” Palestinian Suicide Bombers
Posted by Tim Graham on October 22, 2005 – 10:18

And we thought PBS films were bad. David’s Medienkritik reports the German government has subsidized a sympathetic film about Palestinian suicide bombers.”Paradise Now” tells the story of two Palestinian men, Said and Khaled, who are selected as the latest suicide bombers, and debate which way is best to defeat Israeli occupiers. This is supposed to help us by “humanizing” the assassins. Oh, but lucky us! It’s coming to America, to the film festival circuit. It’s been picked up by Warner Independent Pictures. And it’s won an Amnesty International award.
The filmmaker, Hany Abu-Assad, told a German website he wouldn’t condemn suicide bombers: “The suicide attacks are a consequence of oppression, which first has to stop…I am against killing people, and I want that to stop. But I do not condemn the suicide attackers. For me, it is a very human reaction to an extreme situation.” In their marketing materials, Warner Independent is trying to make “clear that the film is one that carries a message of peace,” says spokeswoman LauaKim. “We are working with many organizations to help get the word out that the film is one to begin a dialogue, to ask questions.”

Wild Thing’s Comment….
When I read about this today it made me sick. What a bunch of bunk! As my best friend says ” it feels like my head will explode”. That is exactly how I feel. Such outrage and anger, this is the last thing the world needs is to feel compassion for suicide bombers. Good grief!

I just saw this over at Blackfive. It is soooo funny! I just love it!
BSB-I Want It That Way(Google Video link)

.

Christmas will be here soon and Soldiers Angels founder Patti Bader, is requesting help. I read about this over at Mudville Gazette.Soldiers Angels is a non-profit organization. As you can see on the right side of my Blog I have a logo and link to her site.

I’m not sure I could ever give the full picture – but let’s just say that this is one organization that meets every need of our military members and their families:
From airplane tickets to hotel bills
clothing and furniture to diapers
holiday presents and cards
letters and carepackages
moral support and round the clock sit-by-your-side in the hospital until your family gets here support
blankets
thermals and socks to providing armored blankets for army vehicles
babysitting
food for military families with employment struggles
computers for the wounded.

That’s not even the half of it! This is a powerful organization dedicated to meeting needs – no BS to get in the way.

She also has a “cool stuff designed by Patti” and you know how we girls love to shop, just give us an excuse. Well this time we can shop till we drop and at the same time show our pride in supporting our troops.

What else can you do to help Soldiers’ Angels and Valour-IT?

* Donate to Both if that is possible
* In the work place, how about telling your co-workers about it. I know where I work there are several people that truly support our troops and want to help.
* Donate while also giving to your favorite Charity.
Check out Buy for Charity, which gives a percentage of your online purchases to your favorite charity. You must register at Buy for Charity just once, selecting Soldiers’ Angels under the category “miscellaneous” or entering “angels” in the search box. Then when you purchase online from over 350 affiliated companies (like The Gap, Dell Computers, Overstock.com, and many military equipment sites), a portion of your purchase price is donated to Soldiers’ Angels!
* I listen to a lot of Talk Radio while at work and on the way home. What about calling into one of the shows and telling them about Sodliers Angels.

Driving around I see a lot of stickers on vehicles of supporting our troops. I have them on mine too. That is great, but this is even more action taken then a sticker on a car.
This gets things done, it is walking the walk and talking the talk.

And a Merry Christmas to all and to all a safe night!
