I just got this:

Folks,

Move America Forward, the largest pro-troop grassroots organization in the country, is going on ‘offense’ in the situation involving our Military Recruiters in Berkeley, Ca. and across the United States.

It is long past time for the US government to involve itself in finding, arresting, and prosecuting those people responsible for attacking our service men and women involved in recruiting efforts to protect our country.

This Monday, we are going to the office of US Attorney Joseph Russoniello (First District of Northern California) to demand immediate action.

It is our fervent hope that other government entities will do take action in jurisdictions where assaults, battering, slapping, and other civil rights infringements have taken place.

Here’s our press release. Links at shortly at www.moveamericaforward.com

Regards,

Melanie Morgan

Pro-Troop Group Demands of US Attorney:

“Investigate Anti-American Activities in Berkeley”

This is a video of the Cactus Cuties, http://thecactuscuties.com, very talented young ladies ranging in age from 8 to 13 singing The Star Spangled Banner. The performance was at the Texas Tech vs Texas basketball game January 20, 2008.

If this does not give you chills, well, why not?

Don’t mess with Texas.

 Michelle Obama: America the Ignorant 

Jim Hoft links to this speech from January of this year by Michelle Obama to students at the University of South Carolina, presumably just before their primary. It shows how Mrs. Obama can utter some truth but put it in such a tone-deaf manner that she obscures the truth with hostility and sneering condescension. In this case, she starts by challenging students to actually embrace diversity by having the courage to reach beyond their social comfort zones, and winds up calling America ignorant:

We don’t like being pushed outside of our comfort zones. You know it right here on this campus. You know people sitting at different tables- you all living in different dorms. I was there. You’re not talking to each other, taking advantage that you’re in this diverse community. Because sometimes it’s easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your own ignorance. That’s America. So the challenge for us is are we ready for change?

I kid you not.   I mean you cannot make this stuff up.

See what happens when a juror independently tested the famed “Fruit of the Loom” defense:

Underwear test by a juror puts murder verdict in doubt

The “Fruit of the Loom” defense didn’t work for an accused murderer in January, but attorneys are taking another shot at it after learning a Snohomish County juror experimented with his own underwear during the trial.

In a rare move, a judge on Tuesday said she will order all 12 members of the panel back to court April 9 to get to the bottom of things by asking a few questions.

She’ll then decide if any juror misconduct warrants a new trial for Daniel Jay Perez, 21.

Perez was convicted of second-degree murder for using the drawstring from his sweatpants to strangle his cellmate at the Monroe Reformatory in the Monroe Prison Complex.

Perez confessed after the body of Cory Garzina, 24, was found in their cell, saying the marks on his hands came from the drawstring.

This one is a nobrainer.

Code Pink: In Berkeley Until the Marines Leave

As pro-war, flag-waving counter-protesters set up camp in Berkeley, Calif., on Monday, an anti-war activist told Cybercast News Service that her organization intended to demonstrate against the city’s Marine recruitment center until it was abandoned.

“We’re staying here until the Marines decide to respect the people of Berkeley and what we want in our city,” Zanne Joi,  a spokesperson for the anti-war group Code Pink, said in an interview. “We’re a city of peace. We’ve always voted against this war, as a council and as a people.”

 Though they are not unopposed….

Meanwhile, motor-bikers from the pro-military group Eagles Up descended on Berkeley on Saturday to counter-protest with American flags in hand.

…

Eagles Up also had the support of the pro-troops organization Move America Forward, which is chaired by former California radio personality Melanie Morgan.

“We encourage all American patriots to stand with Eagles Up and the Marines,” she said. “I hope to see Move America Forward’s supporters at the muster to show our love and support for our troops.”

Beth at Blue Star Chronicles was one of the first bloggers I linked up with years ago when I was getting started.

What has always impressed me about her was her unwavering support of the troops.  Her blog is a must read on any given day.

But this one is an absolute classic.

Portland Protesters Call for the Murder of Your Son and Mine

I posted a short little snippet of this a while ago and called it good … for a minute. It just flew all over me, but I was going to let it go at that one little bit and a referral to the original article. But you know me, I can’t let it go. It just blows me away that these people who call for the murder of our Troops do so openly and without one second of consequence to themselves.

What irritates me about this story is the fact that nearly any liberal anti war cause is showcased at schools, and students can even get released from school to go protest with their nutball teachers in some places.

But when the pro troop rally comes to town, they are shunned as too political.

Forest Lake event canceled; too political

A national tour featuring decorated veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan won’t be stopping at Forest Lake Area High School today as planned, after school leaders abruptly canceled the visit.

Steve Massey, the school principal, said the decision to cancel was prompted by concerns that the event was becoming political rather than educational and therefore was not suitable for a public school.

So why was it too political?  Not because the rally itself has too much political content.  No, it was too political because:

He said the school had received several phone calls from parents and others, some of whom indicated that they may stage a protest if the event took place.

Look at this picture, and the words on the sign (Courtesy of Zombie):

At first glance, the sign, while vulgar to some people, seems clever.  The problem is that it is unintentionally hypocritical.

I have no doubt that the majority of anti war peace advocates are just that: Advocates of peace who protest peacefully and non violently.

But.

There are also others who see their mission to end the war one that must be done at all costs.  And all who stand in their way must be crushed.

Take this story for example (Courtesy of Melanie Morgan):

Peace Thugs.

There is no other way to describe the people who terrorize Churches in Chicago, who splatter blood, human feces, and fire paint bombs loaded with glass at pro-troop supporters across the country. These incidents are well-documented in Move America Forward’s ‘Sedition Report’ on-line at www.moveamericaforward.com.

The violence hit closer to home in Berkeley, Ca. where our pro-troopers were shoved, pushed and battered with peace signs by anarchist groups like Funk The War, The World Can’t Wait, Global Exchange, and International A.N.S.W.E.R. two months ago. (More on that story later.)
