"The assault is relentless"

Steve Schippert speaks for me:

The assault is relentless. It is enraging. And today, the Obama administration's assault on those who dare to defend America from terrorist thugs who rejoice in publicizing beheadings, mass murder, and pure evil are on notice: "You will be punished. We're coming after you."

The target audience now includes the American Warrior. The Obama administration has abdicated the Warrior's defense, refusing to appeal the 2nd Circuit's decision that more photos should be released from investigations of the detention of enemy fighters from the battlefield. The Obama administration has sided with the ACLU and abandoned our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. This cannot stand.

Brace yourselves for the Obama administration's full on assault on the American psyche, while we in the Warrior Class gear up, strap up, and engage in our defense and our nation's defense by taking the fight right back to its source.

Earlier this week, it was the Bush administration's legal advisers, who had the audacity to write opinions on the legal limits of "enhanced interrogation techniques." They dared to include as legal for use against terrorists procedures that are part of our own Special Forces' training. Then yesterday the Obama administration could not resist its instinctive temptation to renege on its original pledge that it would not go after CIA and military interrogators who, as the administration put it, were simply following orders and guidelines determined from above.

Today, the very legacy of the American Warrior is directly under assault as part of that same process.

The Obama administration agreed late Thursday to release dozens of photographs depicting alleged abuse by U.S. personnel during the Bush administration of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan.

At least 44 pictures will be released by May 28, making public for the first time images of what the military investigated at facilities other than the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

Defense Department officials would not say exactly what is contained in the photos but said they are concerned the release could incite a Mideast backlash.

A Mideast backlash?  The Obama administration — and those at the Pentagon not standing up in vociferous defense of its warriors — had better buckle up for an American backlash.

You must read the whole thing, you must pass it on to others.  Consider it a duty.  Consider it an obligation.  Mr. Schippert continues:

This has me so angry I'm practically spitting out my own teeth. I've had enough. Apologizing to Europe and the Muslim world for America, the warm reception of Chavez, blaming America for Mexican drug cartels' murderous rampages, and the threat of prosecuting Bush administration officials because of their legal opinions on what does and does not constitute torture.

And now, the American warrior class is openly and clearly in the crosshairs in a media campaign to denigrate them and cast dishonor upon them and, once again, America.

The aim of the release is to assault America in the court of public opinion, using the wholly owned media PR subsidiary as the armored assault vehicle. And the administration, through its acquiescence, is at minimum enabling this, choosing consciously to end the public defense of the American warrior class and its very legacy. Perhaps the administration is acting with willful disregard for them by taking direction from the ACLU/Soros/Moveon.org hard Left in a form of electoral quid pro quo. At worst, the administration is directly aligned with them and acting in concert rather than taking direction from them.

Either way, the principled defense of the warrior is over, by choice of the Obama administration in directing the Pentagon to end the defense short of SCOTUS. It is an outright abdication. 

I say no. Not now, not ever. The Left got away with an all-out assault on the American veteran and military service during Vietnam. It will not happen again. And most certainly not from the military's own Commander in Chief. Not without a bold, determined, and passionate challenge the likes of which have never been seen.

Are you up to the challenge friends?  Seriously?  Pass it on.  Call your congressmen, hell, send them Steve's piece and say simply he speaks for you as he surely does for me. 

Loudly, clearly, unequivocally.

Their assault on freedom is unmistakable. Chapter and verse Marxism IMO And the daily examples from the release of cherry picked information designed to demonize America, to their assault on freedom of speech is unmistakable.

It would be pretty sad for one to come to the place that one actually came to believe that one's government was deliberately....

1) Deceiving it's admirers.
2) Attempting to manipulate it's critics.

It's become a sad time to me.

My heart is breaking for this nation and especially, especially for our warriors. Between the DHS memo declaring anyone that values life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and desires our nation to be fiscally healthy, safe for its citizens, its laws sovereign or has served it with their very life on the line is now declared an extremist to be feared and if this wasn't enough, they want more.

The battle has been relentless from day one with appointees that value international laws over American laws, or who are tax cheats, or openly hate our friends in Israel. The constant onslought of bills that seek to tear to shreds the articles given to we the people. Shred by those who have sworn to honor, protect and uphold the constitution on our behalf only to have our voices ignored and belittled.

We are told that the lie that majority wants this destruction of the pillars that hold up this nation and the media that used to the watchman on the hill has become an underground traitor digging the earth out beneath the foundations.

And we watch, and we cry out in defense of all that is good while that good is being called evil. The tears are drying and the anger of the people builds. The soul of revolution is being dragged out by the actions of this administration day by endless day. Do they know what they are doing? If they don't stop, God help us all.

I will hand write letters this time in hopes that they see a real person behind it.

As far as those pictures of what the enemy does to those they capture, or pictures of the tortured...the pictures are on the Islamic websites, and on their forums along with the praise and captions to go with them. The MSM has went on those forums several times over the last few years and pulled conversations and viewed them to the public and they could just as easily pulled the pictures and videos from those sites if they cared to expose them. They don't care to because it doesn't support their agenda but there are several internet watchdog organizations that could release those to the public.

The pictures are out there in the public domain of the world-wide internet. Out of respect for those that were tortured, (some of the pictures are of our soldiers after they were done with them) and the indecency of exposing the public to the sickness of what these monsters do, the watchdogs haven't made those pictures public...but they could... if Joe and Jane America is that confused and needs to come face to face with the real enemy. Be sure that GIJoe and GIJane have seen the enemy and worked to protect us from it...and now our nation's leaders turn their back on them.

The release of the memo and the release of the pictures will do nothing but enbolden the enemy...this is what happens when a nation give up...this is being reported by World Net and others...when those pictures are released...it will increase the chances of attack here, no doubt, but the more immediate response will come to any American living outside the states, soldier, or a Christian no matter what nationality because unlike Obama who doesn't consider his nation to be a Christian nation...the rest of the world isn't blind to the fact that we are still a majority of Christians...

"ICC said it got reports that Taliban militants went door to door, breaking into Christian homes and dragging the elderly and the women out into the street by their hair.

"The Taliban leaders shouted, 'You infidels have to convert to Islam or die. Why did you wash up warnings inscribed on walls of church and home doors? How dare you to take out procession against Taliban?'"

The terrorists used clubs, iron rods and whips in their attacks, and set homes on fire, ICC said.

"When two Christians resisted, the militants killed them execution-style directly in front of their families. The identity of those killed has not yet been confirmed," ICC said.

A report in AsiaNews said seven suspects were arrested in the attack.

"The Pakistani government has created an opening for terrorists to attack Christians indiscriminately by acceding to their demands in the Swat Valley," said Jeremy Sewall, ICC's director for advocacy."
