Young Jewish Man Carries Israeli Flag in LA Muslim Street Protest Video

I found this inspiring video at The Conservative Lady. She titled it A Courageous Soul. As Los Angeles Muslims take over the streets, this lone, courageous young high-schooler walks among them holding the Israeli flag. Police follow him - hopefully with the goal of keeping him safe. At about 3 minutes in, hear him interviewed - all the while holding the flag high. Contrast and compare the two Muslims at the very end. The woman is Helen Thomas in the making.The man sounds a bit like Paul McCartney these days.

Absurd Glimpses of Memorial Day 2007

Trackback URL for this entry: http://haloscan.com/tb/maggiesnotebook/7894576617828379820 So why look at the "absurd" and "disrespectful" on this Day set aside to honor valor and sacrifice? We need to know what these people are up to. Winston Churchill said "When the eagles are silent the parrots begin to jabber." Churchill also said: "Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!" The parrots are screeching. It's time to stop flinching - meet them head-on and let this jabbering minority know that it will not take away our beloved traditions in the name of civil liberty. Here's the absurd. A few quotes have been snatched from each below, (in context) but a link is provided to the original. Watchdog group protests military participation in Memorial Day activities from examiner.com:

Stone Mountain Park's Memorial Day weekend festivities are being criticized by a watchdog group for religious freedom that says the patriotic event also promotes Christianity. ...Americans United called for the military to make clear to the public that the weekend is not an official military event, to ensure that military events are not integrated into worship services or other religious activity, and to ensure that active-duty military personnel maintain compliance with constitutional requirements.
Memorial Day: Hijacked from WorldNetDaily by Robert Knight:
"...Sen. John Edwards, whose website supportthetroopsendthewar.com is urging people to crash Memorial Day ceremonies and parades with anti-war protests. He's even asking people to take pictures of it all and post them to his website. What nifty souvenirs! We're still waiting for the media outrage over this hijacking of a sacred day to honor the war dead. Can you imagine being a U.S. Marine and going out today on a mission in Fallujah, Iraq, searching for the killers in the latest civilian massacre,..."
Dishonoring the dead: No Memorial Day protests from UnionLeader.com:
Edwards urged Americans to use Memorial Day to protest the war in Iraq. Meanwhile, anti-war protesters across the country are planning to take Edwards' advice and turn out at Memorial Day parades tomorrow to protest the war, thus insulting the sacrifices of all who lost their lives and their innocence in the swirling desert sands of Iraq.
Edwards Calls for Protests on Memorial Day??!!?? from Wake up America:
While in the Senate, Edwards Voted YES on authorizing air strikes in Kosovo. (Mar 1999), Voted YES on allowing all necessary force in Kosovo. (May 1999), Voted YES on authorizing use of military force against Iraq. (Oct 2002) and Voted NO on $86 billion for military operations in Iraq & Afghanistan. (Oct 2003).
ACLU condemned for 'attacking' veterans memorials during time of war from OneNewsNow:
"The American Legion has announced that it is teaming up with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) and Liberty Legal Institute in a campaign to fight ACLU efforts to remove religious symbols from war memorials. The ACLU has already filed suit to remove crosses at veterans' memorials, like the Mt. Soledad cross in San Diego and the Sunrise Rock cross in the Mojave Desert, which is now covered by a box. "Let us see this claim for exactly what it is," Infranco continued. "These individuals assert that their being offended should override the public's desire to honor veterans as we have since the founding of our nation," he said.
Veterans go to battle for memorials from WorldNet Daily:
The American Legion and the Alliance Defense Fund will mark Memorial Day 2007 observances by launching a nationwide Defense of Veterans Memorials Project to fight secular attacks by the American Civil Liberties Union, atheists and others against veterans memorials – as exemplified by lawsuits against the Mt. Soledad National War Memorial in San Diego and the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial. The American Legion, the largest wartime veterans organization in the world with 2.7million members in 15,000 posts, and the Alliance Defense Fund, believed to be the largest public interest legal firm defending freedom of religion with some 1,000 pro bono attorneys, are to formally announce and detail the Defense of Veterans Memorials Project
ACLU Observers Will Monitor Miami Beach Police During Holiday from NBC6.net South Florida:
The president of the Greater Miami ACLU chapter said the organization was concerned about the number of arrests made on the beach last Memorial Day weekend. The ACLU and NAACP have criticized Miami Beach police for "overzealous" DUI arrests.

Tuesday's Victory and Freedom Blog List






Welcome to Wednesday's Open Trackback and Linkfest Haven Deluxe
.
For details, see the end of this article

There's much great content by Conservative bloggers, but so little time to read. I'm referencing, today, a few pieces that I feel are especially pertinent to our American freedoms and our victories. If you haven't gotten to them, I'm providing the link. If you have already read them, then I'll compile a nice little list for easy reference for myself.

1) The Signaleer profiles National Guard: Who are We? RTO Trainer takes on a syndicated editorialist who refers to some reports out of Iraq as "the daily slaughter," and then goes on to mention "the apparent lack of professional troops...". RTO Trainer slices through the column with honest dialogue and an obvious well of knowledge. This is an article to file under "meaty-Patriotism". Referring the National Guard, here is a small snippet of RTO Trainer's words:
"The policy has worked, precisely as billed and precisely as designed. So, despite the natural wish of the public to keep us safe, that desire is at odds not only with the job description, part-time or not, but also with the assigned task. Just as you would not prevent the police officer from responding to an armed disturbance or a firefighter from walking into a burning building, don't try to prevent us from completing our job. Far more importantly, don't give us a job to do and then repent at your leisure (it is not our leisure) as to its necessity".
I love this article, and am humbled by it.

2) The Amboy Times (whose moniker states: “articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy"), puts up The List of Things That Offend Muslims. This article links the reader to real examples throughout the world: offense at the English Flag (being flown in in England), The new Apple Store in Manhattan, it is offensive to Muslims - and you won't believe why, The Cross, The Bible, movies, and even food. This article is pertinent to Victory and Freedom because, as The Amboy Times says:
"The West needs to come to grips with this fact and start standing up for our God-given rights of free speech, free expression and freedom of religion, lest we surrender those rights to a theocratic movement bent on removing our Constitutional freedoms that we hold dear. In this case, our tolerance will lead to intolerance".
If I understand correctly, "this list is a work in progress". Check it out - you will be amazed, as well as appalled.

3) Wake up America reports on the plans of America's Veterans to be present at the "leftist activists" march on Washington, D.C. on March 17th. Wake up America leads into this information with this:
"I've said a time or two (or more) in the past that the veterans of our nations armed forces will not sit by silently and let our younger brothers and sisters currently bearing arms be the subject of ridicule and harrassment by a group of people who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground".
The high-profile names of the "leftist activists" tells you where this story is going:
"The group, led by Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda, Ramsey Clark and their ilk, plan to gather March 17 at the Vietnam Memorial Wall to begin a march to protest America's involvement in the Iraq war. The date marks the fourth anniversary of the war's beginning."
Then this quote from a veteran and member of The Gathering of Eagles who is Calling all Eagles.
"The anti-war/anti-America group cannot be allowed to use the Vietnam Memorial Wall as a back-drop to their anti-America venom and stain the hallowed ground that virtually cries out with blood at the thought of this proposed desecration ... it must not happen," said veteran Bud Gross. "… All Americans are invited to support our effort, which is intended as a defender of hallowed ground and intended as a non-violent competition between those that would sell out America and those of us who support freedom and keeping the fight with the enemy on distant shores."
There is much more information, including a list of contributors, both monetary and those who will lend their fame(Maxine Waters, for one) to the "Leftist activists" at Wake up America, including the latest updates on the Veteran's counter-protest. March 17 is just a month away.
