As A Viet Nam veteran, I support the trucker's strike.

I am getting ready to move.  I had saved boxes, but roaches like to nest in cellulose and that is what cardboard is made of.  So I put all of my saved boxes out last recycling day.  Now I am having to collect more boxes.  I am struggling because the dust is pretty bad here and I am allergic to dust.  So I am wearing a mask.  I am now getting tired and slightly hungry.  Wei is off also and not sure what he is doing.  Most of the time he fixes something to eat, but I  don't see him cooking this time.  I think I will jump in the shower and go out to get some bleach to pour down the drains to see if that helps the shower not back up.  And I want to see if there are any more boxes.

Woman Earns Silver Star in Afghan War

By FISNIK ABRASHI – 1 day ago

CAMP SALERNO, Afghanistan (AP) — A 19-year-old medic from Texas will become the first woman in Afghanistan and only the second female soldier since World War II to receive the Silver Star, the nation's third-highest medal for valor.

Army Spc. Monica Lin Brown saved the lives of fellow soldiers after a roadside bomb tore through a convoy of Humvees in the eastern Paktia province in April 2007, the military said.

After the explosion, which wounded five soldiers in her unit, Brown ran through insurgent gunfire and used her body to shield wounded comrades as mortars fell less than 100 yards away, the military said.

"I did not really think about anything except for getting the guys to a safer location and getting them taken care of and getting them out of there," Brown told The Associated Press on Saturday at a U.S. base in the eastern province of Khost.

Brown, of Lake Jackson, Texas, is scheduled to receive the Silver Star later this month. She was part of a four-vehicle convoy patrolling near Jani Kheil in the eastern province of Paktia on April 25, 2007, when a bomb struck one of the Humvees.

"We stopped the convoy. I opened up my door and grabbed my aid bag," Brown said.

She started running toward the burning vehicle as insurgents opened fire. All five wounded soldiers had scrambled out.

"I assessed the patients to see how bad they were. We tried to move them to a safer location because we were still receiving incoming fire," Brown said.

Pentagon policy prohibits women from serving in front-line combat roles — in the infantry, armor or artillery, for example. But the nature of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, with no real front lines, has seen women soldiers take part in close-quarters combat more than previous conflicts.

Four Army nurses in World War II were the first women to receive the Silver Star, though three nurses serving in World War I were awarded the medal posthumously last year, according to the Army's Web site.

Brown, of the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, said ammunition going off inside the burning Humvee was sending shrapnel in all directions. She said they were sitting in a dangerous spot.

"So we dragged them for 100 or 200 meters, got them away from the Humvee a little bit," she said. "I was in a kind of a robot-mode, did not think about much but getting the guys taken care of."

For Brown, who knew all five wounded soldiers, it became a race to get them all to a safer location. Eventually, they moved the wounded some 500 yards away and treated them on site before putting them on a helicopter for evacuation.

"I did not really have time to be scared," Brown said. "Running back to the vehicle, I was nervous (since) I did not know how badly the guys were injured. That was scary."

The military said Brown's "bravery, unselfish actions and medical aid rendered under fire saved the lives of her comrades and represents the finest traditions of heroism in combat."

Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester, of Nashville, Tenn., received the Silver Star in 2005 for gallantry during an insurgent ambush on a convoy in Iraq. Two men from her unit, the 617th Military Police Company of Richmond, Ky., also received the Silver Star for their roles in the same action.

I was getting unsure about the candidates.  Then I decided to look at McCain.  In looking aside from being endorsed by over 100 admirals and Generals, there all kinds of other leader that I have respect for. So I am saying to myself, "Well, if he is backing him, I'll vote for him for sure."  It really sucks how the media can fuck with your mind.  And I have to keep going to find out the truth for myself.  If I had not been taught to seek the truth at Franklin, by my father and mother, I would be in trouble and at the mercy of the media.  I used to think that that TV and Radio, and Newspaper was the media and now I know that the Internet is another media that they are addressing. I get most of my mail and news from the Internet.  I thought I was unbiased because I was getting it off of the Internet.  LOL.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV)

⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
⁸ a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

This is my season to begin tearing down all the things in my room and throwing out all the things I don't need. I will have to do it right away or I will procrastinate as usual.  It also a time for me to be silent at work.   I will no longer say anything to Ray anymore.  Ray will not realize how little I am talking to him because I will just be busy. I will be polite to him.  No more coffee's.

Barack Obama's Word Games
By Frank Salvato
February 29, 2008

Much is being made of Barack Obama's oratory skills. True, he is quite good when it comes to captivating a crowd of sycophants and this includes the lemmings in the mainstream media. But if words matter, as Obama (and surreptitiously Duval Patrick) claims they do, then we must acknowledge that in this case words do make the man, in this case Mr. Obama must be judged in his words and in the deeds that back-up those words.

Ironically, I agree with Mr. Obama when he says that words matter. One of the harshest criticisms I have had of the Bush Administration is that communication between the presidency and the American people has been, at best, horrible. While I can lay much of the blame on a hateful mainstream media who wouldn't cover the White House if it was on fire, a gaggle of journalistic abortions hell-bent on achieving an anti-Bush/anti-Republican agenda, so too blame must be laid at the feet of an administration that failed to use all the tools available to the bully pulpit to get its message across.

Words do matter. In a society that has grown so delinquent in teaching its populace critical thinking skills, words -- and the choice of words -- have become the upper-tier chess pieces in the tactical game of attaining and holding on to power. Of course, this is nothing new.

Great people through time have understood the importance of words, their meaning and their successful communication. Cicero, Aristotle, Plato, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes certainly knew the importance of words. Through their philosophy the seeds of our uniquely American ideology were planted. Those who understood the importance of their message, their words -- Franklin, Adams, Jefferson and Madison -- were able to manifest the American experience, to motivate a people to the quest of freedom and liberty. These great men -- our Founders and Framers -- also had a penchant for words as is evidenced by the Charters of Freedom, which stand alone in their ideology of liberty.

But just as there were great people who used words to move humanity to good, so too were their very evil, narcissistic men who used words to manipulate masses of people into ideologies of oppression and inequity, who used words to capture power from people, who used words to steal liberty, usurping the Natural Law of man.

Adolph Hitler used words to cajole a nation into ceding their collective will to a tyranny that would affect a litany of horrors perpetrated on the innocent, simply because of their religions, their skin colors and their birth origins. Josef Stalin used words to motivate an oppressive class to -- as we now understand -- eclipse the horrors of Hitler. And the totalitarian rhetoric of Pol Pot and Chairman Mao Zedong served to ideologically and physically imprison generations of people from freedom while filling graves beyond capacity.

While the tyrants and murderers listed above left their legacies in blood, slaughter and the destruction of humanity, still other despots -- ideological despots -- worked to enslave the minds of millions of people.

One such ideological despot is Karl Marx, whose code of belief culminated in the Marxist-Leninist dogma of Communism, commonly considered a faction of the broader Socialist Movement. This oppressive ideology brutally discouraged liberty of the individual, many times to the point of torture and execution, and placed the State above all else. The goal of this oppressive and maniacal creed, a socio-political system in which property, the rights of the individual and the distribution of wealth were subject to control by the community; "It takes a village to raise a child."

Today, we experience the pain of Marxist-Leninist ideology in the unlegislated tenets of political correctness, a belief system that has crept into the mainstream thinking of the Democrat, Progressive-Left political community.

Yes, words -- and the deeds that ratify words -- do matter. It is because of this truth that two issues surrounding the life and candidacy of Barack Obama strike me as disturbing.

Let me reiterate something that I stated in a recent piece, Can an American President Be a Muslim Apostate. I believe Barack Obama when he says that he is a Christian. I do not subscribe to the idea that he is a "clandestine jihadi" just waiting to be inaugurated so that he can hand the country over to Wahhabism. That said, it really doesn't matter what Barack Obama declares at all. What matters is what the fundamentalist Islamists believe. What matters are the words of their belief system.

To a fundamentalist Wahhabi -- the belief system of Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Saudi royal family -- Barack Obama is a Muslim apostate and, therefore, lower than any other form of human life. In the ideology of Wahhabism Obama's punishment for leaving his Muslim birthright is death and he is not to be seen as an equal under any circumstances. Further, by the Wahhabist tent of al Taqiyya, it would be permissible for a fundamentalist Islamist, i.e. the Saudi royals, etc, to disregard any accords or treaties made with Obama. It would be permissible and, in fact, encouraged, to deceive the "infidel" in an effort to promote the well being of Islam and Muslims anywhere and everywhere.

That said, the words of the Wahhabists matter more than Barack Obama's declaration of Christian faith.

To remain in the realm of religion, we need to address Barack Obama's own words when it comes to his past, specifically his declaration that he was not influenced by his "brief" Islamic indoctrination.

Recently Jonah Goldberg wrote about a 2007 New York Times interview of Barack Obama with Nicholas Kristof, who documented,

"Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated...Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.'"

For someone who wasn't "influenced" by his "brief" stint in the Islamic faith, Mr. Obama certainly has command of a difficult language (words) and fond memories of a prayer that translated literally means,

"Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Hasten to the Prayer, hasten to the Prayer. Hasten to real success, hasten to real success. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is none worthy of worship but Allah."

Of course, these are "just words," like, "I have a dream..." and "...We hold these truths to be self evident..."

Another disturbing element to Barack Obama's past is his loose association with William Ayers, a former member of the domestic terror group the Weather Underground. Ayers and his Weather Underground terrorists bombed the US Capitol building, The Pentagon and the US State Department building. The group literally declared war on the United States. In a September 11, 2001 New York Times interview (strange how these "words" always grace the pages of the New York Times) Ayers said of the bombings,

"I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough."

In 1995, Barack Obama, in the Chicago tradition of paying respect to political "Godfathers," paid homage to Williams Ayers, doing so at Ayers' residence on the commencement of Obama's political career. In essence, Barack Obama courted the political blessing of a self-avowed domestic terrorist who holds no regrets that he declared war on his own country; "I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough."

Of course, these are "just words," just words like,

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

Or...

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."

Or...

"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Yes, words matter, Mr. Obama, they matter quite a bit...and so far your words -- through your speech and your deeds -- ring hollow of substance. They lead me to believe that you are dangerous for our nation.
