Today's Moment of Code Pink Zen:
By Eric Livingston :: 19 Comments :: Email to a friend

This morning, the ultra-liberal, anti-war group Code Pink sent an email to its membership admitting defeat and calling on its members to blatantly break federal law.

The email begins: "We have marched, we have petitioned, we have called, emailed and urged Congress; DON'T BUY BUSH'S WAR. It isn't working..."

Finally, a message from Code Pink we can agree with. Whatever they’re doing, it isn’t working.

Their latest solution? Urging Americans not to pay their federal taxes. Sounds like another winning strategy from Code Pink.

So they agree with Bush. They don't like to pay their taxes either. Those who like war don't want to pay for it either. Just pay homage with words and ads to support the war. That oughta do it. wink wink

I continue to be amazed by the "head stuck in the sand" crowd. You liberals are so mortified by the recent news from Iraq, I can almost see your fingers shaking as you type from the warm and cozy darkness of the Dorito Dens, otherwise known as Mommy and Daddys basement.
Here's some advice ...GIVE IT UP ALREADY!!!
For Gods sake even the NY Times, ABC, CBS etc have ALL reported the "Stunning" turnaround in Iraq.
But you nerds keep on typing, and we'll keep on laughing, and for Christ's sake, slip Mommy a $10 once in a while for the chips

To jacked38:
Our soldiers are still DABBING (Driving around Baghdad) and still resenting being put out as bait for IEDs. What is different is that we are now arming the new underdog, the Sunnis, (who know the language and know who is foreign, who is native and who the terrorists are and where) are now pushing al Qaeda out and killing them. They offered this deal 3-4 years ago, but we refused/ignored the offer until now. Still it's only buying time for a political solution--the only real solution- which may never come. But the end of the surge will come. If no solution, then what? Back to square one?

By the way..it's "anotheroldphart. I don't wish to involve the original oldphart in this. Thank you

To oldfart:
I have laid out a solution here before and it was censored from this site and removed. I can't even guess why, except maybe it scared the site owners? I see you defending the Iraq war and occupation. And it had nothing to do with al Qaeda and bin Laden as Saddam and bin Laden were enemies. I lament that the US wastes its prestige, its high moral ground, its stregnth,its troops, its treasure on a misguided wild goose chase that distracted us from bin Laden, alQaeda and Afghanistan and strengthened Iran.
The US can defeat al Qaeda by avoiding misguided wars, gathering friends, making friends in the Muslim world by arming all but the terrorists. Sell them arms for their oil, be a friend to all and let them build or let them fight. If they build, they prosper, and so do we. If they fight, it is their battle, no blood on our hands, as every nation has a right to arm. If they fight to exhaustion, fine. Then we go in (only as necessary) to and mop up what is left after they have spent themselves, which would then be far easier than now. The Shiites and Sunnis hate each other more than they hate us. But they will kill what they see as trespassers, just as you would do if you saw foreign troops on our soil. Right? But most important to the long term of the US and the Mid-East is to knock heads and get a truce leading to a solution between Palestinians and Israel.
That is the ultimate answer. Even Bush sees it now at this late date.
Now of course you listen to the talking heads, else your wouldn’t use the trash talk term, “billary” which shows me that if billary had begun this Iraq war that you defend, you would be completely flummoxed, upset all the time and and beside yourself, no longer would you support the death parade that is Iraq. I, on the other hand, would completely object for all the above reasons if either Clinton or any Dem or any Repub had wasted all our strength, troops, treasure, prestige allies going after the wrong enemy at the wrong time. Seems to me that’s the patriotic path any patriotic thinking American would take.

Direct answer to Oldfart: Has Bush or Chickenhawk Cheney ever been in the military? What do they care about other than yoohoos and twinkies? Well... Bush cared about booze and cocaine. Now all he cares about is innappropriate powers (signing statements that turn laws into his pick & choose ala carte menu) the founding fathers would be appalled to find. I bet you'd be appalled if HILLARY did end arounds to Congress. I bet you'd really be apoplectic (angry) if a Clinton had gotten us into this mess in Iraq. ADMIT IT! YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!!! You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it. So just ADMIT IT.

By anotheroldpart @ Sunday, December 16, 2007 12:28 AM

Read my entire post . No where do I preach for GWB or Cheney, they seem to be the only thing you think about. As limbaugh, he's more your speed as all he does , as do yuou, is to complain and whine. Where is your well thought out responsible solution ? Further more you don't know my position on anything, you assume, as do the rest of the whiners out there.Again, where is your solution, and I don't mean just pulling out the troops. How do you solve the problems of AlQuida? Limbaugh can't answer that either. I don't listen to the talking heads as you seem to.

I don't see how they admitted defeat. They have been working against the war and acknowledged that Congress still hasn't listened to the American people.

Read any national poll. The overwhelming majority of Americans do not support Bush, Cheney or the Iraq War. Polls of U.S. troops in Iraq have shown they do not even support the war anymore. The only person saying the troops do support the war is John McCain!

Terrorism should be fought through diplomacy and force where necessary, but the facts are clear -- Iraq was not involved with the "global war on terror" until we went into their country. al-Qaeda did not exist there until we gave them our men and women as targets.

We are creating more terrorists throughout the Islamic world because they view this all as a Zionist-Christian crusade against Islam. We are not fighting terrorism by killing men, women and children -- accidentally or not. Every person you kill creates even more terrorists -- fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, etc., etc.

I love the hypocrisy, Freedom Tools (mostly cowardly chicken hawks) vilify code pink for "calling on its members to blatantly break federal law", yeah cause this administration is all about following the law right? Man-Up Enlist! www.marines.com

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

By anotheroldpart @ Saturday, December 15, 2007 10:27 PM

Ah as the wool gets pulled over the eyes. In response to Pocomaxa97. it must be remembered that those who commission these polls target areas that it's already known what the general opinion is so as to obtain their desired results. Tell me how any poll that has less than 2000 respondents be extapilated out to encompass american society at large. Take the second amendment for example..if the poll were taken in rural Vermont the results would be that hell yes we have the right to keep and bear arms in the interest of self and State defense,whereas if that same poll were taken in billary's district the poll would indicate just the opposite citing that law enforcement just an adequate job of keeping us safe..even while said politicos have taxpayer supported personal security.
As for al-quda remember that they have propagandists hard at work on their public relations.

By keeemosabe @ Saturday, December 15, 2007 10:32 PM

Oldfart : I have engaged my brain. You can't keep up. You assume your cartoon caricatures of us painted by Lush Rim-BaHHH every day. Now I don't think our Gov't did it. It's just that if one goofball thinks so, it gets pushed as the liberal agenda by the right wing smear machine. using a trick called gross generalization...a well known propaganda tactic you'd do well to recognize. Just be happy the Dems funded your lovely little war and stalled it a few days just enough to show their displeasure. And that is seized upon by the right wing politicos everywhere to call them pinkos coward liberal, just for showing any thought or hesitation at all about the wisdom of this war folly in Iraq. Well, Enjoy your extra bonus WAR.
No I did not serve in the military. So what? ... Neither did your heroes ChickenHawk Cheney and Ronald Reagan; or awol Bush. What did that disqualify them from in your eyes? brainless?

By anotheroldpart @ Saturday, December 15, 2007 9:41 PM

to kemosabee, I suppose you are a fan of hers. You didn't answer my question..Have you ever put your life on the line for anyone else,I think not.You have nothing inteligent to say so you devolve into whining. i don't agree with everything GWB has done, but I do know that fighting terrorism is not a defined war, more a bunch of sneak attacks against largely civilian targets who are iunable to defend themselves due to the democrats reviling the Constitution by denying simple english. I suppose you believe it was extremist that created 9-11 and that the government did it.
I suggest that be fore you open your mouth, that you engage your brain.

To kemosabee;
What do you really know about the military? Have you ever been in the military?What do you care about other than yohoo and twinkies? Open your eyes Americans have been targets for decades by Islamic terrorists, Iraq is just the latest excuse in use that's all I suppose if you were confronted with a fanatic trying to kill you would you try to talk to him, or whine for somebody ..else..to do something. Quityerbitchin' , oh, and get a life theres' been far to much sniveling coming from your direction. And Yes, I have put MY life on the line for all tne snivelers and whiners...can you say the same?

To oldfart:
They would not be killing soldiers in Iraq if we were not there. Think ChickenHawk Cheney and the Bush-whack-o if you want to be angry about anything Iraq. Wasn't Afghanistan enough to satisfy you? At least go one war at a time, if possible. At least I ask that we think out the consequence of military adventurism. Remember Bin Laden says the way to his victory is to bleed the US like the Soviets were bled out in Afghanistan. It is far easier to destroy a country than to build and maintain it. We need to choose our battles and wars more carefully. At least, we must put one war to bed before seeking out new ones. Is that amount of prudence too much to ask? I'm not against any and all wars. Clinton showed you how to fight a war in Serbia without losing any soldiers in combat. ZE-RO. Bush showed the world how vulnerable the military is to IEDs and terrorism. You really should question your leaders' motivations, morals and ability before blindly following like a sheeple. (As in Heil Bush!) I repeat: Is that amount of prudence too much to ask?

By keeemosabe @ Sunday, December 16, 2007 2:15 AM

The other thing to make alQaeda irrelevant is to make oil irrelevent to import. We need an Apollo program to develop, and electric cars, air powered cars, alternate energy. Wet and dry geothermal, nuclear, the works. Let them drink their oil. We should get oil from the new Saudi-like fields, 155 miles offshore Brazil, and off the coasts of Africa, before China gets there. Wasting effort on stupid wars weaken us. We need to be make friends, not enemies and get stronger.

By keeemosabe @ Monday, December 17, 2007 9:26 PM

>>>willing to bow , turn around, bend over and say to these Muslim fanatic scum, "Thank you sir, can I have another"<<< Are you quoting Ronald Reagan after the Marine barracks in Lebanon were bombed?...when Reagan decided to "cut and run?" Or are you imitating the Ron Paul platform? And please remember, it was John Kerry who first called for a surge to end the Bush whacked strategy of, "Just Enough to Lose, but NOT Enough to Win."

By Buck @ Thursday, December 20, 2007 2:38 PM

Code Pink, ANSWER, IVAW, and other Islamic butcher lovers will be screaming their anti-war/anti-America slogans in March in D.C...........we need about one million Eagles on the DC streets to convince these surrender jerks, America is worth fighting for.

By Jackson38 @ Monday, December 17, 2007 8:33 PM

Ms kimosuckee,
Did ya slip mom $10 for the chips yet. You have no clue, obviously, what the hell your talking about, except for the liberal (Bin Laden) taking points.
You and yours were WRONG about the surge, WRONG about the Nancy & Harry clown act affecting any change at all ON ANYTHING, let alone the war, and the 0% chance a Harry or Nancy clone will occupy the White House.
You use the "chicken hawk" term quite a bit. It's quite apparent you and yours are just plain chicken, willing to bow , turn around , bend over and say to these Muslim fanatic scum, "Thank you sir, can I have another"
You're a loser, your lunatic left icons are clueless, and so it goes.
I just keep on laughing at your ineptness

By Buck @ Wednesday, December 26, 2007 10:57 AM

A classmate shared her Pastor's sermon with me .........God bless this servant Pastor for his faithfulness and inspiration.

I want to focus with you a specific portion of his message, just below, and how I relate it to America.

"I saw something the other day that fascinated me. I was driving early in the morning down Orange Avenue. Up ahead of me on the sidewalk was a young woman taking a morning walk. And as she was walking along suddenly a great dog came charging out from behind a house on a side street off of Orange. The dog was barking and snarling. And the dog was charging straight toward this young woman. Now what do you think she did at that point? Run away? Freeze? Scream for help? No! You know what she did? She charged the dog! She challenged the dog! She stared the dog down! She turned him away! She ran him back home! And then she resumed her walk. Now where do you think she got that kind of courage? I’ll tell you where. It was love. You see, what I didn’t tell you is that she was not taking her morning walk alone. She had her baby with her. She was pushing her baby in the stroller. And when that dog charged toward her baby she did what any mother would do -- she stepped between the dog and her child. She was more concerned about her baby’s welfare than she was about her own welfare."

The lady in the example touches my heart in thinking about America....America prefers a walk in peace but the "dog of hate and destruction" is rushing toward us within and without in the form of an enemy with an attitude much like the dog described above...vicious, bloodthirsty, selfish, hell-bent on destruction........should we freeze, become paralyzed, retreat, have a debate, or charge the dog, exercise courage, be willing to sacrifice ourselves? Oh yes, the suggestion is not for personal safety, it's for the baby, the infant of future of America....It is the love I feel for our beloved nation and those after us that trumps any personal fear.......

As you know I have been involved with a movement comprised of all stripes that have decided to "step in front" of the charging dog. We've named our selves "Eagles", and with great humility, as our national symbol represents the faithfulness, sacrificial blood, and courage of untold patriots that have "stepped in front of the dog" to protect American generations. May Eagles not stain our national emblem or the memory of our sacrificial founders by shrinking from our obligation to fly high the torch of freedom and courage whenever and wherever required.

Eagles, like the lady in the example, do not hate the "charging dog". Hate does not enter into the picture, it's about a real threat that is imminent and instinctively requires a offensive reaction to a potential deadly situation. Can we take a chance the dog is only bluffing, will stop just before the attack, assume his aggressive nature is a scare tactic, and that he will retreat, tuck his tail, relax his ugly fangs and go back from whence he came?.....do we ignore the threat, continue our walk, taking a chance our "baby" will be torn to shreds?

America must deal with the "charging dog" before we can continue our walk in peace. Eagles don't employ weapons of physical destruction against the threat, we challenge the "god of hate" with a determined stare his "attack dog" cannot mistake. Eagles stand rock solid, locked in cohesion, shoulder to shoulder in numbers that demonstrate Lady America will not be intimidated, we will not retreat, we will not shrink before any threat, no matter how large, vicious, or determined the enemy...we will demonstrate a resolve as closely as possible to the "mother protecting her baby"....with our lives if necessary.

May God give Eagles the will, the courage, the determination and inherent protection of a "mother" as the steel and foundation under our mission to protect America.

Eagles will again be gathering in March 2008 in Washington, D.C.as we did in March 2007 to face the "charging dog" associated with Code Pink, Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), Vietnam Veterans Against War (VVAW), Iraq Veterans Against War (IVAW), Council on America-Islamic Relations (CAIR), selfish and greedy politicians, and other anti-America organizations and elements. My prayer is that America will no longer view the "attack dog" as docile, or that it will tire and go away, but recognize the threat for what it is....real and must be confronted and physically challenged.

Our warriors are meeting the challenge far from home, we on the homefront have an opportunity to drive a stake in the heart of the anti-America, surrender movement...they are admitting their followers are in decline, their message is not working, and using every distorted message as a motivator to make one last effort in Washington, D.C. next March. May tens and hundreds of thousands of Americans under the Eagle Banner develop the courage of a "mother defending her baby" as we apply her selfless motivation to moving us to the defense of our nation next March in Washington, D.C.

The exact when, where, what, and leadership detail of the mid-March 2008 event is unknown now.........but we know enough to start planning the trip. The question is, do we have enough love for America to step forward...is America more important than ourselves? Are we willing to make the sacrifice it takes to step between infant America and the "charging dog"?
