Independent Patriots for America

 Are there enough Patriots in America to keep the Red, White, and Blue from Dishonor, from turning into a Crescent?

I have a few questions for my American brothers and sisters…questions I view as serious,  ones I never thought it would be necessary to ask or even seriously consider.
 
“Are you sure America is safe, that freedom is secure, that our national system of protection is doing everything it can to protect America, that enemies of America are being challenged adequately, that leadership in Washington, D.C. understand the peril America faces, are you willing to allow the direction America seems to be going as the America for your children and grandchildren, do you feel like something is drastically wrong in America today?” 
 
My answer is a firm “no”, except for the last one which is an unqualified “yes”.  Please consider your answer but read on………..
 
These questions beg for an answer now, “What are you and I doing or going to do to reverse the answers to the above questions”?  Something, nothing, what would it take to move you?  Those that would see America humiliated, destroyed will gather on September 15, 2007 in Washinton, D.C…we must be there to protect our nation.
 
Here’s what happened on March 17, 2007 during Gathering of Eagles in Washington, D.C. that proved America still has the courage, determination, and patriotic fervor to stand up for the Red, White, and Blue in opposition to those that would see America destroyed.
 
“At GOE 1 in March I was never so proud & worried in my life….the proud is self explanatory because of the Veterans & spirit that I was honored to be in the midst of, including my own husbands…the worry was because I knew how many very ill Veterans that were there. Many Vets were in the middle of chemo & radiation treatments & still were there. One old Nam medic that was determined to be there amongst his treatments died shortly after GOE 1….instead of his death bringing me total sadness the comfort of knowing how damn determined & proud he was to have been there is a memory that I’ll always cherish & remember……” shared by Shelia.
 
How many that read this have loved ones that died in war, in law enforcement, fire protection, have friends who suffered in POW camps, are longing for the touch of fathers still missing in action,  are recipients of valor awards on the field of battle, recipients of the Purple Heart Award for wounds suffered in battle, have bodies that are maimed, broken, destroyed in defense of America,  recipients of recognition for selfless service in the protection of America, a spouse-family member who sacrificed often equal or greater than a loved one in the line of duty, were spit on when you returned to your beloved America for doing your duty, and many that read this have received no recognition for saving America, but deserve enormous gratitude?  Is the cost of all this and much, much more for naught?  Will we allow the shrill nay sayers, the minority once again prevail in ignorance as in the 60s?   Our numbers on the streets of Washington, D.C. on September 15 will settle this score.
 
Please click on link http://eaglesup.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=8&Itemid=65 and read the heart warming and aching story of a Daughter of a MIA Warrior….Where Eagles Dare….it’s time to tell the haters of America…no more, we’ve had enough, there is no more free ride down the streets of America.
 
How can we remain silent, remain dormant, reflect a state of denial, while the enemy cancer slowly but methodically eats away the freedom patriots fought for from the beginning of America to our warriors now fighting for our freedom in Iraq?  Will we allow our destruction by a ruthless Islamic butcher,  or rally to the WWII cry of  “never again”?
 
I can hear the voices of the 58,000 men and women listed on the Viet Nam Memorial whose graves are spread through America crying,  “don’t let me be dishonored again, let me rest in peace”…the Korea, WWII warriors, who experienced unimaginable and incalculable horrors sacrificing for Americas freedom are pleading for America to standup , recent Americans killed in Beirut, Somalia, Khobar Towers, Embassies, ships, New York City, and others…all by an enemy with barbaric intentions, are wondering, will I be forgotten,  treated as my Viet Nam warrior brothers and sisters?
 
This enemy of the freedom, greatness and compassion of America, that so many have sacrificed for, has it’s tentacles in elements right here in America.  They will be taking to the streets in Washington, D.C. on September 15, 2007 attempting to convince America to give up, give up our freedom, surrender, make a mockery of lawful expression, all in the name of a communist based, Islamic terrorist supported, radical leftist hating organization called A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism).  Read for yourself those that sponsor ANSWER at http://answer.pephost.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ANS_homepage  ,  a group of people and organizations with a warped sense of human dignity bent on destruction of America, your freedom, your childrens freedom.  America as the founding fathers envisioned would be destroyed if they were in control or can convince gutless, cowardly leaders to abandon the fight for freedom.
 
Will you allow the ANSWER crowd to rule the streets of our Nations Capitol, most who have done nothing to preserve America, only milk it and have a desire to destroy? 
 
All the pain, suffering, sacrifice, loss, and blood given by American patriots demands a force of hundreds of thousands, if not a million on the streets of Washington, D.C. on September 15 to completely overwhelm the message of hate. 
 
The resounding message of American hope, confidence, love and support for our troops, and honor for those gone before must rule the day….we must do nothing less.

Eagles  Landing

“A helpless sparrow can drift with the wind.  It takes an “Eagle” to fly against the storm.” 

A CALL TO STAND FOR FREEDOM

September 15, 2007  

Washington, D.C.     

Friends,

It is time to move out of the shadows and call the Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) activity planned for September 15, 2007 in Washington, D.C. what it is…a deliberate action of mass disobedience, criminal activity, mockery of a lawful nation, betrayal and destruction of America, the limits to which only the Islamic butchers exceed.

Here is an example from the ANSWER web site:

Quote

“Saturday, September 15
Mass March on Washington & Die-In led by Iraq Veterans
People will begin assembling at the White House in the late morning. There will not be an opening rally. A march will form with the front contingent of Iraq war veterans, family members of soldiers and marines, and other veterans. When the march arrives at Congress, the Iraq Veterans Against the War and family members will be the leadership of a mass die-in symbolizing the deaths of an estimated 4,000 U.S. servicemembers. A powerful representation of the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis will be the other central component of this dramatic confrontation with Congress at the time that they will be debating spending another $100 billion to sustain the criminal occupation of Iraq.

The Die-In is a civil disobedience action that will involve at least 4,000 people who are able to risk arrest.

There will be a permitted rally taking place simultaneously with the Die-In. All those who cannot afford to risk arrest will be able to participate in the permitted rally that will take place on the West Lawn of the Capitol Building.”

The above is enough to tell America that nothing will be safe in Washington, D.C. from the hate spewing, anti-America rabble September 15th. These groups have been involved in vandalizing, destructive, and dishonorable behavior for decades, not only in Washington but across America.

Many Americans are serving and have served their nation in the military and other forms of national service to defend the constitution of the United States, guaranteeing freedom of speech for all America.  ANSWER, which includes elements that are enemies of America, are afforded the right of “freedom of speech”…likewise, others who view America as worth fighting for also have “freedom of speech” and freedom of the streets.  Freedom of expression does not extend to “freedom to destroy”.

 We will meet the anti-America crowd on the streets of Washington, D.C…the free ride of the 60s ended…our behavior will be non-confrontational, non-violent, only so far as we are not attacked…we will defend ourselves but more importantly we will defend the honor of America, our current warriors, and particularly protect the sacred honor and hallowed ground of our brothers and sisters gone before.

Brothers and Sisters, the September event portends to be a crucial, serious, even grave occurrence in the life of American freedom…the enemies of America will be on the streets trying to use their numbers, unlawful activity, vandalizing, virtually any destructive opportunity to gain media attention, sway Congress, and encourage the Islamic radical enemy.  With us in the middle of the event, the media won’t be able to dismiss our presence, particularly when we out-number them 50-1.

The decade of the 60s is over, the streets of America are no longer the domain of the anti-war movement.  There can be no repeat of the devastating, anti-America, anti-liberty, flag-burning, troop hating, betrayers of America that encouraged the enemy in Viet Nam which resulted in the political defeat of America.  There are hundreds of thousands of us that served during the decades of  60s and 70s in Viet Nam and we’re not going to allow another generation of warriors to be stained, suffer through the humiliation, dishonor, and abuse we experienced.  To put it mildly, we’re madder than hell at the way America is being trashed…the time is here for the America bashing thugs to be held accountable.

The consequences of “drifting” is a sure threat to our children, grandchildren…think about it…the barbaric, inhumane, Islamic killers has America in their cross-hairs.  We must confront the enemy now….in great numbers……we have allowed ourselves to be backed to the wall…there is not choice…we either take action or surrender.  No surrender, not me, not now, not ever…whatever it takes…who agrees?

“A helpless sparrow can drift with the wind.  It takes an “Eagle” to fly against the storm.”  

A CALL TO STAND FOR FREEDOM 

September 15, 2007   

Washington, D.C.      

The Threadgills in Alabama sent me the Eagle quote above to support  Gathering of Eagles event last March in Washington, D.C., as we opposed, confronted, and routed the anti-America crowd.

I suggest a search of hearts will  reflect we have been “sparrows drifting with the wind” for nearly four decades in America?  Can we admit we have been drifting with those winds who find nothing but fault with our nation, accusing America of the world’s problems, ignoring the attacks on American freedoms, drifting as America sinks lower and lower into the gutter of despair, drifting while the media lies, distorts, fabricates conditions in America, gives comfort to our enemies while ignoring and failing to provide America some semblance of objectivity and truth in our fight against the Islamic butchers at home and abroad, drifting as unscrupulous, greedy corporations act as leeches at the gas pumps…on and on?

Our government has lost nearly 80% of American confidence…the immoral, greedy, criminal activities in Congress and the Presidency over the years has been a result of America drifting to the polls…drifting with the winds of change because we don’t want to turn around and face the biting gusts and stand for America…friends, you and I, patriots that love America and what she stands for have abandoned her.  Even American leadership gives aid and comfort to the enemy while our warriors suffer, bleed, are maimed and die on the battlefield…they shout the war is lost, the war is lost but as hypocrites and “arm-chair warriors”, continue sending men and women to fight and die.  These leaders are despicable traitors, treasonous, and betrayers of our nation, it’s warriors and families….will we continue to “drift”… or will we ignite a new fire by joining together in Washington, D.C. September 15, 2007?

What has happened to America…where is the unity, courage, integrity, honor, love of neighbor and country, muscle to fight for right on the home-front, of just 50 years ago?  Why are we not sounding the alarm that America is in jeopardy…what more evidence do we need than Muslim butchers flying planes into New York buildings and the Pentagon?  We need to find a small measure of the guts Todd Beamer and others displayed on United Airlines Flight 93…America and the freedom of our children and grandchildren is more important than life itself…Are Americans so uninformed or are we just ignorant to the terrorists and their supporters goal of destroying America?  The threat is no longer over the horizon, it’s here, in America, we have been attacked and the left wingers of Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) and their supporters that we will face on September 15, are part of the threat to America.

We have been drifting, drifting …”as long as it doesn’t affect me or mine”……….well, the radiation from a dirty bomb will affect you…the germs from a biological release will affect you…don’t think you’re safe because you live in rural America…the threat is to us all…will we act to stop it or have we chosen to live in a state of denial?

So much easier to swim downstream with the current, to run with the wind, to walk with the snowstorm, to have our backs to the rain…to drift…drift with little to no effort.  There is a penalty, consequence to drifting…deadly consequences…the course is uncertain, direction is unknown, destination a gamble,  and the return may be treacherous, difficult, painful, and costly.

If America is to survive, the drifting must stop, recognize America is on a collision course with a ruthless enemy, prepare to sacrifice as necessary, and follow the Eagle who is courageous and comfortable flying against the storm America faces today.

If not now, when?  After the blood starts flowing in the streets of downtown America??

The time is now, an immediate storm that must be faced will blow on September 15, 2007 in Washington, D.C….the haters of America, enemies within our borders, communist backed elements, those that wish America harm are planning a rally/march vicinity the White House, Congress, and our memorials. Their modus operandi is to lie, distort, deceive, intimidate, confuse, use scare tactics, vandalize, and any other form of vile propaganda and physical action to convince America and our gutless leaders that General Petraeus, our Commander in Iraq is failing…our troops are failing…America is failing, democracy and liberty is not worth the fight…, but not a word will be uttered in condemnation against the terrorist butchers that chop heads, desecrate human beings, and other gruesome acts that animals refuse to commit to their own kind…these butchers get a free ride.  America will determine if the snake finds new life or it’s head is crushed once and for all.

Many of us fought for the right for all Americans to express themselves, free speech, but no one I know of fought to allow enemies of America to walk our streets calling for it’s destruction without challenge…our fallen are crying out to not be forgotten.

The anti-America crowd assumption has been that America will continue to “drift”… that there will be no Todd Beamers, no Patrick Henrys, they assume they will be unchallenged   to spew their venom against our nation as they have, nearly unopposed, for 40 years…this is changing and they know it…they viewed the sharp claws, laser eyes, and powerful Gathering of Eagles on March 17, 2007 and other locations since March, and are about to discover Eagles Landing  on their parade September 15 once again..

I see one million, yes, one million patriotic citizens of the United States arriving in  Washington, D.C. on September 15, standing proud, non-violent, non-confrontational, shoulder to shoulder,  whose specialty is “flying against the wind”. They are trained, motivated, tired of drifting, tired of the surrender shrill…old, young, men, women, veterans, widows, civilians, families, will set a course in support of freedom, lifting up America, displaying to our troops their backs are covered, giving our fallen warriors a special day of rest and special protection, while sending an undeniable message of hope for America and defeat for our enemies. 

These Eagles are caravanning from California, convoying from Florida, flying in from Hawaii, riding busses from Pennsylvania, Maine, Texas and trains, car-pools from all points in between. All heading to Washington to exercise our freedom to challenge those that reflect a hatred of America, to encourage America to stop “drifting” and face the wind, to signal to our enemies that America, the giant of freedom is waking from it’s long slumber.

We have been “drifting” too long..tell your friends, write letters to the editors, get your veterans organizations involved, call your talk radio stations, web broadcasts…commit now in 60 days you and I will Gather with the Eagles  on the streets of Washington, D.C. facing the wind, standing strong and unmoved against the forces of surrender and defeat. 

Let’s make September 15, 2007 a day remembered because One Million  EAGLES LANDED in Washington, D.C., confirming “America is the land of the free, because of the brave”.

Eagles  Landing

“A helpless sparrow can drift with the wind.  It takes an “Eagle” to fly against the storm.”    

September 15, 2007

Washington, D.C.   

The anti-America  A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) movement and their supporters are planning another march/rally in Washington, D.C., as a “large antiwar protest timed to coincide with the report by General Petraeus…”our commander in Iraq. 

This time  they cite their  objective as a “March on the White House and Congress”…this group has intentions to destroy America…a dangerous movement directed by enemies of America, a threat  defenders of freedom cannot overlook or allow to occur without challenge.

There must be a ground swell of America’s patriots in Washington, D.C on September 15 that will dwarf our March 17 huge outpouring.  Americans faithful to our nation, our troops, our fallen, our families, and freedom itself must make a special sacrifice, if necessary, to send the message of resolve and solidarity for America.

America is in peril from many directions…the enemy is no longer across the sea, they are among us, attacking our values, our culture, and yes, the very sovereignty and freedom Americans fought for over the last two centuries.

America stood-by while the selfish, “me focused” radical “if it feels good do it” crowd had free rein of the streets of America, contributing to American blood that was spilled in the jungles of SouthEast Asia……..NO MORE ANTI-AMERICA STREET SCENES WITHOUT CHALLENGE….

We support no violence, no confrontation but the sweet roar of liberty, love for America and it’s warriors, will drown the shrill surrender message of the “hate America crowd” on the streets of Washington, D.C.  It goes without saying……but I’ll say it…….we won’t be run over.

The weight of freedom keeps me going…please don’t let ANSWER or any other threat to America take that weight off our shoulders and heart.

Be part of the Eagles Landing in D.C. on September 15.

President George Bush

Dear Mr. President,

The arrogance of political authority has once again demonstrated special favors for political operatives while allowing citizens guarding our nation to be ignored.

With the commuting relative to Mr. Libby’s sentence comes considerable disappointment that you did not include our imprisoned border guards in pardon action. The one thing Mr. Libby has in common with border guards Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean is they were all treated as political pawns, sacrificed on the alter of political advantage…

Justice is nearly always included in your speeches Mr. President…how can you pardon “Scooter” Libby and allow the conviction of border guards Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean to stand? What about their families? What about their suffering? Where is justice here Mr. President?

While accomplishing the sacrificial work of the American border guard service, the pair have been betrayed as sacrificial lambs in a United States of America that is getting harder to recognize. Where is justice?

Favoring an illegal alien drug smuggler over our professional American Border Guards flies in the face of the justice you proclaim. Where is this justice?

In the act of incarcerating its own border guards, America seems to have lost not only its way, but also its very soul if we let this border guard conviction injustice stand.

The messages you are sending to America Mr. President is being received as confused, incompetent, detached, out of touch, and simply detrimental to America.

We need a leader Mr. President…….you have given us ample evidence of cronyism…what a sad commentary on the eve of our National Birthday.
