Commentators say “The war has divided our nation.” This is not really true.
The Marxist Progressives and the Islamics have striven to divide our nation on purpose with years of concerted propaganda and pressure on elected officials to render “politically incorrect” the defense of our nation and the interests of its people. The Marxist Progressives and the Islamics are exploiting our tradition of “free speech” to literally destroy our 231 year experiment in freedom and prosperity! If the Marxist Progressives and Islamics are successful, we will be the first nation on earth to vote ourselves into slavery!
In thinking of Free Speech: when the American Intifada begins, and thousands are killed each year, publicity will be essential for the recruitment of suicide bombers. Like Al Jazeera, will CBS, ABC and NBC and the NY Times cooperate fully with the American Intifada by dutifully broadcasting the suicide killer’s video last will and testaments? Will they publish daily the dozens of portraits in their newspapers? This will be vital in giving these nobodies their 5 minutes of fame! Will our society have enough sense to stop such broadcasts? Will we finally shut down the most virulent Jihad websites, the worst of which are on servers in Dallas Texas? Or will the ACLU’s free speech arguments prevail over common sense? There is precedent: sporting event cameramen are instructed NOT to follow streakers who might leap onto a playing field or a basketball court. They do this to discourage copy cats! How much rather suicide killers when the lives of innocent men, women and children are at stake?
I ran across a very simple and elegant prayer today: “Graciously protect our nation from evil that it may prosper in your Shalom. Help us overcome evil today through the power of good.”
Notice the “Shalom” instead of “Peace". The Marxist Progressives and Islamics have hijacked the word Peace so thoroughly that it now means “abandoning our responsibilities, to suffer defeat, humiliation, death and destruction at the hands of our enemies!” It means literally the peace of the graveyard. Shalom is much deeper and wider! It means living securely, free of conflict, internally and externally! Without a doubt, to achieve Shalom, to overcome evil and to even survive.this nation will have to reassess and redefine its absolutist definition of “free speech” that is leaving us defenseless!

Dave Petteys sounds like the bastard clone of James Jones and Richard Grimes.

Great letter Rocky!

America isn't at war. America's poor and working class families are funding this war and supplying the "sitting-ducks and targets", who are dying needlessly in this war. The only propoganda that I've heard, is from the GOP and its barbaric invasion in the Middle East Plantation (Iraq-NAM). I owe the families of our fallen warriors, a full and complete apology. I never once believed that we would really invade Iraq-NAM. I am flabbergasted that my fellow Americans, allowed draft-dodgers like Bush, Lott, and lard-a$$es like Cheney and Hastert, to send our kids off to die for nothing. I don't like GOP or NASCAR dads either. When Iraq-NAM broke out, rich GOP kids, like their dads during NAM, broke for the ski-slopes, college , shopping malls, etc.

Dave Petteys:

Why are you such a coward?

Last month we were the Progressive Lynch Mob (kill `em with kindness) and this month we are the Marxist Progressives.

And then a mensch gives us the meaning of Shalom!

Every time I just about order the t-shirts for the mob, someone changes our name.

What the hell is a Marxist Progressive or a secular progressive. I guess being forward thinking (definition of progressive) is a terrible thing to these frightened people. Dave you are scared to death, lighten up!

OK, who left the door open at the funny farm?

Dave paints a charming scenario in his paranoid delusion.
However, the facts prove otherwise.
Ronald Reagan began his puppetmasters desire of corporate-driven-America when his nine word Hate-We-the-People speech to his corporate cult. He was told to say " The most terrifying nine words in the english language are, I'm from the government and I'm here to help...."
People thought it was cute in a Grandfatherly fashion, but some very evil people decided to use it to divide our country, unfortunately , as a means to their own ends.
Just who do YOU did he think IS our government?
Our Forefathers trusted us enough to believe that we could work together and solve mutual problems, and BE the government.

The neo-cons were born, and the rest is a stain on our great country's history.

Dave's letter is proof positive.

But The People aren't stupid, ( well, most of us, anyway) and we can still reverse the damage done. It won't be easy, but I have faith in Forefather's wisdom, as well as in us, We the People.

America's poor and working class families are funding this war

Don't you mean China's poor and working class families?

America is not at war. America is at the mall, the gas station, the sports stadium, etc.

The military is at war, and until the military represents America at large (i.e. reinstates the draft) this disconnect will not get fixed...

“Brain dead” is what Senator Biden calls W. Bush evidenced by PBS that he has Jesus Christ talking into one ear and Dick Cheney talking into the other. Explicitly, Bush is a liar and a lawbreaker; implicitly, he is a murderer and a terrorist.

He launches an attack on Iraq, a sovereign nation knowing the nation is not a threat to national security via Joe Wilson, et al and thousands of Americans and Iraqis die and thousands are terrorized when their doors are broken into and bodies riddled with American bullets. Millions are turned into refugees. Bush is a liar because now he is claiming he had no intention of long-term occupation of Iraq in spite of the many military posts he created and Franklin Graham is poised with 20,000 Christian Crusaders to enter Iraq and replace their god with his Jew from the “loins of David” whose forced penetration resulted in “fruit of the womb” in a 13-year-old Jewish virgin.

At home, he pilots his craft into the wall the separates America’s Siamese twin: Church and State squandering $2.1 billion in fiscal 2005 which in 2007 exceeds from money allotted to him by the Congress with the Vatican Five crashing their craft into the Wall by blessing Bush’s endorsement of Christianity with tax dollars vehemently condemned by the Constitution which Bush considers “a goddamn piece of paper.” Not even “three pence” of tax dollars shall go to religion, says Madison, architect of America’s “Organic Law,” says the late Judge Santo, still leaving me to wonder thirty five years later why he said that a 5 to 4 decision was not the law of the land.

The Vatican Five: Roberts, Alito, Thomas*, Kennedy, and Scalia* claim tax dollars from Congress can’t be given to religion; however, tax dollars from the Executive Branch can be given to religion turning Constitutional Mandate into trash. It gets worse: *Scalia and *Thomas actually vote to completely do to the Wall what the Islam did to the twin towers in NYC which is to disintegrate the Wall. This is terrorism by Bush and the Vatican Five.

Plans are underway by Bush loyalist, just like Saddam and Hitler had their loyalists, to build a Presidential Library which will turn into an abode built for a monster who attempted to crown himself dictator ordering the military to support him but the generals denied the request, as with Hitler who ordered the total destruction of France and Germany. By Executive Action Bush signed into law the right to violate the Wall Mandate, he also signs into law the right to assume dictatorship pursuant to circumstances he sees fit as with Giuliani in after 9/11 sought to remain mayor beyond his term due to the circumstances.

Deicide Corner Below:

Deicide Corner: “I have struggled all my life with a tormented and joyless relationship with God. Faith and lack of faith, punishment, grace, and rejection, all were real to me, all were imperative. My prayers stank of anguish, entreaty, trust, loathing, and despair. God spoke, God said nothing. . . . No one is safe from religious ideas and confessional phenomena. . . . We can fall victim to them when we least expect it. It's like Mao's flu, or being struck by lightning. . . . You were born without purpose, you live without meaning, living is its own meaning. When you die, you are extinguished. From being you will be transformed to non-being. A god does not necessarily dwell among our capricious atoms.” -- Ingmar Bergman
