I hope to see you post here (or there) again. Sometimes it seems like a losing battle - but once in a great while, somebody gets some small glimmer of truth.

For Jay, who can’t seem to be able to tell the difference between cartoon violence - even the exaggerated cartoon violence in thnings like “Call of Duty I & II”, which are not only not spoon-fed to our kids, but draw a lot of criticism from parents’ groups and such - and propaganda violence and the hatred that’s shown on Iranian TV, during kid’s hour - 8 am:

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

It sure ain’t “Mr Rogers”.

Thank You!

The cartoon examples presented here, which apparently are used by the present Iranian leaders to indocrinate tiny tots in the “explosive-belt” mentality of the Islamofascists, remind this old sod (whose mother instilled in him love of country and democracy while teaching him to read using “Gasoline Alley”, “Felix The Kat”, “Bringing Up Father” and other, forgotten today, “decadent” ’20s and ’30s depression era comics) of the indocrination methods and programs employed by the governments of Hitler and Stalin, et al, and other proponents both of Nazism and Communism; methods and programs still employed, to my understanding, by that great freedom-loving, leather-lunged dictator, the darling of certain Democrat party leaders and Hollywood liberals, socialists who have never read “The God That Failed” and assorted far-left die hards, Fidel-of-the-beard Castro and his government. And that, Gott hilfen uns, as the “Captain” of “The Captain and The Kids” might well have remarked, are apparently favored by certain members of the misnamed ACLU (established in the latter part of the ’20s primarily for, again according to my understanding, the defense in court of home-grown American communists and anarchists and others of like ilk) and its adherents and taggers-on.

Somehow, I feel sure that my mother’s approach to education was far superior to that favored by the Islamofascist Imams and the ACLU and such, for I, agnostic though I am today, have never lost my love of my country, my patriotism, my hope that there be a higher being, whether that being be named God, Allah or whatever, nor have I come to believe that those whose beliefs I shall ever resist should be silenced, so long as they refrain from the use of vile, vicious, base, dishonist language such as has assailed my ears since 2000.

To now continue, Jay, you attacked me, politely, to be sure, but you did attack me, and stated more or less baldly that I was little better than an apparatchik operating out of the Kremlin (pardon me if I sound more than a little bitter, but I just took some time out to listen to the MSM and other uninformed pimps remark on the President’s speech today) during the darkest days of the Communist overlordship. And you didn’t simply imply I would apply the procedures of the Nazis and the Communists and seek to silence those with whom I did not agree, you were quite secific and plainly accused me of being dictatorial in my attitude. Bushwa! Our Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, and I willingly supported our Constitution in three wars, twice on the ground with the Infantry and once as a rear echelon operations sergeant assisting in the coordination of the evacuation of wounded, and I’d be greatly honored to to be able to do so again, were I young enough. And if you can’t understand that a person would volunteer to put his life on the line for ideals such as those on which our nation is founded, it is absolutely useless for me to try to convince you otherwise.

Goodnight from Japan. And may you live always in interesting times.

I haven’t forgotten you, and I will come back to you, but not today. I’ve got a job to get out, and in our business there’s always an absolute deadline. Regards.

Thanks again, and by the by, I studied Ta Kwan Do in Denver, while at Fitzsimmons General Hospital. And this forty-one year old (then), flabby desk-jockey damned nearly lost his cojones (hope that’s spelled right) in a match with a seventeen year old high school student.

Till later then. I’ve got your blog site, and I’ll drop you a line when the spirit moves me . . . and my work load lightens up a bit.

No one should question your right to drop your two cents. Anyone who questions your right to free speech does not belong in a free society. However, I’m puzzled by your logic. While you condemn those who would question your right to free speech, you hold any criticism of George Bush to be “traitorous.” Now, that does not make much sense, does it? You either believe in free speech or you don’t. If you only believe in free speech for yourself and hold everyone else to be a “communist,” “red,” “pink,” or a “traitor,” then you are not much different from the Stalinists whom you seem to loathe.

Thank you. Best wishes.

Thank you for your service.
