That's right!

They are only exercising the rights of their deep and wise culture, to lash out at THE MAN, whitey!

Right, Oprah?

Kind of like in PASADENA TEXAS where a bunch of BLACK PANTHERS tried to hold a protest in front of the home of a man who shot and killed a pair of burglars who were blacks and hispanics the citizens run the panthers clean out of town

The First Amendment suffers another stroke. This time the stroke affects the ability to speak.

I guess what we need is government run health care. Oops! Sorry! I meant public option health care plan. I sure hope strokes are covered in the new "option".

The USS Liberty Revisited

Much to my chagrin, this year I forgot the anniversary of the unprovoked Israeli attacks on the American ship, the USS Liberty.

Without recounting all the details of that assault, it occurred a little over 42 years ago on a clear June 8th, 1967 and resulted in the deaths of 34 officers and seamen, severe injuries and maimings of another 174, and the near-scuttling of a United States naval vessel. Our nation was at peace at the time.

Although I had heard of the “incident” before, my interest in the Liberty was piqued one wintry day in 2004 when I had a chance encounter with Petty Officer 3rd Class Americo “Rick” Aimetti, assigned to Damage Control on the Liberty when the attack(s) occurred.

Aimetti consented to an interview which can be read here in its entirety: http://www.citizen-journal.net/gmhome/archives/00000085.htm.

It was only after that fortuitous meeting that I became aware of the intense interest, and the intensity of the lies, that still existed as a result of Israel’s heinous actions Liberty and our country’s continuing cover up of the actual events.

A personal effect was felt when AmericanThinker.com, a website on which I published commentary regularly, angrily refused to publish any of my articles on what happened that day. FreeRepublic.com took that move a few steps further by permanently banishing my posts last November from its website because of my Liberty articles.

Anti-Semitism was alleged based on my reporting of established history.

That piqued my curiosity even more as did a June exchange on FR when I became as “curiouser and curiouser” as Alice since it made reference to a recent post of mine.

The heated exchange included the following: “Gene Lalor put up a USS Liberty thread and it was quickly taken down:” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2267653/posts. I’m certain it was quickly taken down though I haven’t a clue as to who put it up.

Who posted said thread is a mystery even if what happened on 6/8/1967 is clearly evident to anyone with a mind not muddled by American and Israeli government propaganda.

Totally devoid of mystery were the reactions of as yet-unbanished FR members. A select few involved in the FR mini-firestorm over the Liberty, with my editorial comments:

. “Just my opinion. We don’t know what happened for sure.” (False, we do know what happened; we just refuse to admit it.)

. “You forgot to mention that they machine-gunned a bunch of American sailors in life-boats. And that the only recorded occaision that a Congressional Medal of Honor has EVER been awarded in secret —EVER— was following this ambush.” (True, Capt. McGonagle of the Liberty was quietly awarded his medal in a navy yard.)

. “But the more I read, . . .

OMFG I've stumbled upon the KKK Website.

I really hope you're being sarcastic...

We, here, are conservatives (more of constitutionalists)... and for those ignorant to the facts, the KKK was historically fomed by southern Democrats and their ideals still perpetuate, primarily, through the Democrat party.

Great, yet another anti-constitution leader in America who is in favor of an international community handling handgun regulations.

Kevin, that's DU.org

If you ever read a book you might know that the Democrats were the ones backing the KKK big time. But now that Blacks vote disproportionally "D" they pander to them instead of white cracker KKK members. Funny how politics works that way.
