Supporting Our Country
by John Freitas
I was at the Chico Masonic Family Center tonight the Masonic Lodge held a "Constitutional Observance" dinner. A Marine Staff Sergeant, who has served two tours in Iraq, gave a talk on, well, our country, why he became a Marine and the Iraqi People. This man risks all for us. Aside from being a Marine, he is a Husband and a Father. And he is proud to do it. He served during the original invasion and again in Falluja. He spoke of the courage of the Iraqi people and how his experience gave him a better appreciation of his country.
I don't see how, we as a country, can let a man in, who has and is facilitating the attempted murder of the Marine I listened to tonight murder of our soldiers in Iraq.
I realize we have allowed the UN to park their butts in our country, and the price of that is that people like Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez get to come to our country and thumb their noses at us. But I think it has become too big of a price to pay. If we are going to allow the 21st century "league of nations” continue to park on our shores, perhaps we should set the ground rule "no one who facilitates the death of U.S. children can come to the US to speak to the UN..They loose their privilege. Rent a hotel somewhere else and meet with the UN there. Perhaps Israel. I think the Mossad would know how to receive this asshole.
I couldn’t even imagine what would have happened in 1943, if Adolph Hitler wanted to make a trip to Hawaii and "lay a wreath" on the wreckage of the USS Arizona. I certainly don’t think there would have been much debate about whether we should let him come or not.
What has happened to us? We march out to protest our own soldiers, but we let this guy come to our country!!!

I'm with you John...I don't get it. It was only 30 or so years ago that this lovely trend began in earnest and we sure have gone to he** fast.
I guess the only good that could come out of the whole thing is that the world will have an opportunity to see what a small macho buffoon looks like.

"I guess the only good that could come out of the whole thing is that the world will have an opportunity to see what a small macho buffoon looks like."
They can already see Dick Murtha, Harry Ried, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry of C-Span. If the world doesn't realize what one looks like by now...
