EAGLES LANDING IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
“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”.
