“If Hitler’s warnings were heeded when he wrote ‘Mein Kampf,’ he could have been stopped,” said Bradley Blakeman, 49, the president of Freedom’s Watch and a former deputy assistant to Mr. Bush. “Ahmadinejad is giving all the same kind of warning signs to us, and the region — he wants the destruction of the United States and the destruction of Israel.”
Given Blakeman's connections, I don't think that it's a big surprise that some GoE types were recently invited to the White House. These dead-enders are all that the White House has left.
While I avoided posting any pictures or video of Gold Star Mothers and Fathers out of respect for their loss, it appears that Yahoo's #1 wingnut is not above exploiting said loss to fill a couple of paragraphs.
Deborah Johns, mother of William, a Marine who has served three tours of duty in Iraq, condemned the Left's demonization of Gen. David Petraeus and urged Congress to oppose a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq. "Cindy Sheehan doesn't speak for me," Johns said. "She has never spoken for me. And she will never speak for me. . . . We are not going to let the domestic enemies at home defeat us like they did" during the Vietnam War.
Debbie Lee, mother of Mark, the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq, rejected the anti-war movement's infantilization of the troops. She was galled at the George Soros-funded ANSWER "die-in" usurping the names and legacies of those who have died serving in Iraq. Describing her son's heroism and her support of the counterinsurgency efforts in Iraq, she said: "You can't 'take' someone's life who gives it . . . and Mark willingly gave his life. . . . God redeployed Mark to heaven."
From the little confab as shown on C-SPAN. I left out anyone identified as a Gold Star Mother or Father out of respect for their loss and in order to not feed the concern trolls. Capt. Larry Bailey (Ret.)
