Whoever it was who bombed the Times Square army recruitment center has not been caught yet, and now, the US military has issued warnings to personnel to be on the alert for violent anti-war activists who could target them….

Do not engage belligerents

Like hell. Those Army recruiters have a right to defend themselves.

Don’t sweat it man. It’s kewl. Thank you for your service as well.

Re: Abortion. You can try , but I don’t want to get into it here though because I said I wouldn’t. So till next time!

Oh and Regulus #109: once again, very insightful.

If I, and several others, went and chained ourselves in front of the entrance to some sacred-cow liberal establishment, then I would be arrested and prosecuted to within the inch of my life. The seditionists are NOT prosecuted because the political backers (i.e. Democrats in Congress) for this behavior will challenge the U.S. Government for actually ENFORCING existing law. But they WILL demand enforcement of existing laws if a “Republican” engages in exactly the same sort of illegal behavior against “their” supporters.

If I were a defense attorney, I would counsel EVERY so-called “conservative” criminal charged with a similar offense to file an “Equal Protection of the Law” challenge against the Government, along with a Deprivation of Civil Rights Under Color of Law civil suit against the Government because they (Congress and our gutless Executive Branch “masters”) have apparently decided that “Liberals” are more equal than the rest of us, in violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

So, is 18 USC 2388 applicable today? I’d say so, and I’d be willing to prosecute that case (I’m a federal prosecutor). The problem is, the senior officials in Government are terrified of actually enforcing the law. I don’t know why. Write your Senator and Congressman and have them ask the Attorney General of the United States why he (and the U.S. Department of Justice) is not enforcing the law.

I’d venture an educated guess that the reason why the administration via the Justice Department is playing laissez-faire with seditionists is because they suspect (probably correctly) that the news media focus would fall entirely on the “heavy-handed” and “disproportionate” law enforcement response while saying nothing about the behavior of the newly cast “political prisoners” that triggered it.

Consider, for example, what happened at Kent State: everyone remembers how the Ohio National Guard killed four people, but few seem to recall that in the riots “peaceful protests” that preceded that incident a considerable amount of property damage (including the burning of the Army ROTC building and assaults on firefighters who tried unsuccessfully to extinguish the blaze) and some injury to persons on and off campus were committed by those whose stated purpose was to “Bring the war home.”

The people who are planning the upcoming round of seditious activity may well have something similar in mind. Behave provocatively, even violently, in hopes of triggering any kind of “disproportionate” response from either law enforcement or individual servicemembers.

Even though a small majority of American public opinion now believes that we’re winning/will win in Iraq, the donkey party and its front organizations – including IVAW and most of the media – are still obsessed with snatching defeat from victory, and will do just about anything to discredit the entire war effort and to resurrect the pre-surge atmosphere of doom, gloom and defeat.

Given the rather one-sided scenario they could face if they “engage” the seditionists and their donkey and media supporters, then if one will excuse the pun it’s understandable that the military and law enforcement are reluctant to give them any ammunition for the pursuit of that ignoble objective.

How could I when most of know the price Michelle has/does pay to bring us such fun!

Hmm… yes ’tis fun. I really should not have so much fun on this thing and get back to work. *sigh*.

In any case. I believe we are all capable of being civil .

I really should get back to work. I was swamped today and around lunch a mild anxiety attack diverted my attention and I found myself here. eeshh…

Text is sterile and emotions often get confused. The old: godisnowhere. Is it God is now here or God is nowhere?

I was an atheist. My best friend was an atheist. One of my good friends (who is an attorney) looks at the life my wife and I lead and is beginning to think there must be a GOD. I never hold what a person believes against them – unless they are a hypocrite about it!

I don’t get my feeling hurts over this junk. How could I when most of know the price Michelle has/does pay to bring us such fun! That is why trolls like lgm get under my/our skin. Not once, given the opportunity to thank Michelle, does he consider the price she pays for his privilege to post (say on Valentines Day – even if you don’t believe in the holiday, would hurt to show respect given the idea she might and wish her well?). Often, he insults her.

We can get along but if you hook you cart to the pig wagon, expect to get the pig treatment!

Peace!

My battle buddy was pulled away from our MiTT team near the last few months to be on a PTT team. Argueably, that duty is even more challenging than being a MiTT.

Stuff like deployments are hard on a marriage. I tend to think they CAN strenghten them though, not always, but they can. I think that is the case with my wife and I. I really feel for the Spec Forces fellas that were working with the Iraqis and our MiTT team. Some of them were on their 4th deployment, and one or two on thier 2nd or 3rd marriage.
