I don’t think there are many people in the United States, or even in the world, who are not aware that Russia has invaded Georgia - a former Soviet (Russian) Province.  Georgia is one of our most loyal allies.  Russia has no right to be invading Georgia.  They are offering weak excuses for why they have done this - claiming that they are “protecting” Russian citizens.  (I can’t help but wonder why the Russian citizens are staying when apparently they could leave if they wanted to.)

The Flash Point: South Ossetia

The portion of Georgia that Russia has invaded is called South Ossetia.  In South Ossetia there have been “rebel” “separatist” groups active.  These groups are being directly supported by Russia.  Russia hasn’t just stopped at occupying this sovereign territory of Georgia, but just yesterday they bombed the capitol city of Georgia as well, and earlier this morning Russia sent even more air-bombing raids on Georgia.  The fighting is only getting worse, and already hundreds if not thousands of innocent civilians have died - along with presumably a fair number of military troops on both sides, and separatist “rebels”.

Russia Takes More Land

Russia has also decided to station their destroyers in the Black Sea outside another Georgian territory.  This area of Georgia is called Akhibzan(sp?).  Another report was in the media yesterday that stated Russia was sending 9,000 more soldiers into this province - again presumably to “keep peace” (how does one keep peace with bombing raids).

This is not Peacekeeping

This is no peacekeeping mission as Russia is trying to make the world believe.  Let’s at least be honest, Moscow - this is what is called war and you are waging it on a free nation that is allies with the United States.  Our own president back in 2005 promised the President of Georgia our support in threats against it.  I’m obviously not privy to know what is going on behind the scenes in the Pentagon, but publicly condemned Russia’s violence & Vice-President Dick Cheney has come out saying that there may be severe consequences for Russia if they do not end these attacks.  Right now, President Bush is flying back from China to deal with this situation in Washington, D.C..

Please help us - Georgian President

Published today is a letter from Georgia’s President imploring the help of the United States.  There is already talk among Georgians that we have left them unprotected, and unsupported.  That we should be doing something already for their civilians lay dying due to Russian bombs.

The Defense of an Ally

As much as I dislike war, and violence I can’t help but think that in order to be an honorable nation we must step up and defend our ally.  I can just hear the libs and isolationists now (imagine a whiny kid voice here): “You’re calling for war - you like war - you want people to die…”  Well, I’ll tell you what - WAR is what is going on right now in Georgia - one of our closest allies.  Someone who helps us when we need them.  A country that helped us in the War on Terror by sending the third largest contingent of troops.

We would not be going to WAR, we are coming to the DEFENSE of a very small nation, that is just getting on its feet - FREE for the first time since being controlled by Soviet Russia, and finally beginning to prosper.  Do you believe in real freedom for people?  Then you must recognize that Georgia is not the innocent player in this.  It is Russia that has brought this to our door…  All of you who continually complain, “The world hates us”; do you really think they will have any more or less respect for us if we turn our backs on our word to an ally?  Think about that for a minute.  Good relations include coming to each others aid, and this doesn’t exclude when a country is attacked.  If anything - especially in a new country - it is perhaps most important.

Was “The Bear” Only Hibernating?

Russia’s leaders had to have known that attacking Georgia would put her allies in a position of having to come up against them.  I wonder if this was part of the plan overall - help Iran hold pressure against us while they take bak some of their former captive nations.  Several Eastern-European nations have also offered support to war-torn Georgia stating that they well-remember what it was like to be a  “Captive Country” under Soviet rule - it doesn’t sound like they are convinced, and frankly neither am I, when Russia says it has put it’s goals of domination to rest.  As John McCain once said, “When I look in Putin’s eyes I see something - the KGB”.  Putin is definitely up to his “old tricks”.  His training in the Communist machine has not gone unused.  Instead of the Communist Party, the leaders have merely become ruling oligarchs, and instead of the KGB doing the dirty work, the Russian mafia is said to be more active than ever.

Russia has also been helping Iran to continue building its nuclear program - despite the threats from Iran’s leaders that they want to “wipe Israel off the Map”, and all sorts of variations on the theme of “death to America”.  Was this part of their plan as well?  To get the US focused on their friends the Iranians, and refusing to help in Iraq all because they were planning to “re-”annex their former Soviet States?  Did they think our country would be too torn by internal strife over the Iraq war to be able to rouse the public into helping defend our ally?  I hope I am wrong in my suspicions, however, I do not trust the Russian Government, and I feel for the Russian people, and all the other innocent people who are suffering because of the greed of others…

No Blood for Oil

A lot of liberals seem to think that the United States is fighting a war for oil in the Middle East right now.  However, we are going to be leaving Iraq eventually.  They are going to own their own country - to elect leaders and develop business & education & do everything else a thriving community does.  We are not going to “own” their oil, nor are we going to occupy them forever - what we are doing right now is teaching them to be able to stand on their own - and it’s working…

Russia on the other hand is not attacking Russia with these eventual intentions.  Georgia is already sovereign and free.  Georgia elects its leader according to their own laws.  Russia has attacked the capitol of Georgia, and is fighting on the side of separatists (or maybe a better term would be domestic terrorists).  They are directly interfering with the affairs of the sovereign Georgian government with a legally elected President.

History Repeating

Another view of these developments by more than a few people around the web: Russia invading Georgia, is akin to Hitler invading Poland in 1939.  This is Putin & Russia’s “Sudetenland”.  I wonder if the allies of Georgia and freedom will come to the aid of these people, or if we will again stand by and watch as Europe gets gobbled up by a country that is violently overthrowing their neighbor.  The Russian Government has already warned the Ukraine as they have released information that alleges the Ukraine with helping Georgia right now (I say allege because I haven’t been able to verify if this is true or not, if it’s being reported by anyone else).

The Personal Side

It scares me that our country may be closer to war with Russia than at any time - perhaps since the Cuba Missile Crisis.  My daughter is coming “of age”, and if there is a new draft (or if she decides to volunteer) I won’t be too thrilled with the prospect of her serving - however, I would be immensely proud of her, and thankful for her sacrifices for the rest of our family, community & country, as well as the cause of Freedom & peace in our World.

I can’t personally think of any way we can avoid what may be to come unless Russia backs off.

A Prayer

May God bless the Georgian People, and may God Bless the USA and all her allies.  May God give our President and our government the strength and wisdom to make “all the right moves” at this dangerous time…

Take care of each other, everyone!

Approximately 60 cars were burned last night and French police were attacked with baseball bats and molotov cocktails… [Read more]

Readers here may remember the French riots back in November of 2005 that last for almost 3 weeks. During that time the rioting was perpetrated by dissaffected “youths” - more precisely Muslim “youths” all over France; starting in the Paris suburbs and quickly spreading to outlying towns and cities.

Here is the coverage from “Big News Network”:

French Youths Riot in the Streets

Dozens of youths and police have clashed in northern France, leaving nine people injured.

Around 60 cars went up in flames as youths went on a rampage in the streets of Vitry-le-Francois, some 200 kilometres north of the capital Paris.

The youths, armed with baseball bats and Molotov cocktails, were only scattered after dozens of security forces quelled the unrest.

The scuffles broke out after a young man was murdered on Saturday evening.

Reports are slowly coming in giving a little more detail… Following is the coverage from 24News.com. Several policeman and firefighters were injured in the rioting last night…

French Youths Clash with Police

Lille - Dozens of French youths clashed with police in a town in northeast France overnight, burning cars during a rampage triggered by the killing of a 22-year-old man, an official said on Sunday.

Two police officers, two firefighters and five residents suffered minor injuries during the violence that raged until Sunday morning in Vitry-le-Francois, said Sylvaine Astic from the regional prefect’s office.

Armed with baseball bats and firebombs, about 50 youths went on a rampage, torching cars and setting fire to garbage bins in the town of 17 000 people, Astic told AFP.

The violence started around 22:00 (20:00 GMT) after the 22-year-old man was gunned down in Vitry-le-Francois. A suspect was arrested overnight.

About 60 police officers were dispatched to the town late on Saturday and remained in Vitry-le-Francois on Sunday.

A police union issued a statement denouncing what it termed as “hysteria” in relations between French youth and police.

“This started out as a murderous settling of scores,” said Nicolas Comte of the SGP-FO police union.

“But quickly this tragic event prompted a violent group to attack police with baseball bats and molotov cocktails as young bystanders watched passively, like spectators to the ‘riot show’,” said Comte.

He linked the latest outbreak to the 2005 suburban riots, France’s worst unrest in decades, when poor immigrant-heavy areas around Paris and other major cities exploded into three weeks of violence.

“Nothing has been resolved since. The fire is still burning under the ashes,” said Comte.

About 250 people took part in a silent march in Vitry-le-Francois on Sunday, led by the victim’s mother who wept as she walked holding a photograph of her son through the low-income neighbourhood of Rome-Saint-Charles.

The last time there was major rioting was in the Paris suburb of Villiers-le-Bel in November when two teenagers riding a motorbike died after they collided with a police car. The incident led to three days of riots.

More than 100 police officers were injured in Villiers-le-Bel when rioters armed with hunting rifles and pellet guns opened fire, a new, worrisome turn in the ongoing clashes with police in the suburbs.

I will continue to follow this, hopefully it won’t turn into weeks of violence with scores of innocent civilians and others hurt, as it did in 2005. It will be interesting to see how Sarkozy responds to these incidents in comparison to former French President Jacques Chirac.

Please note - as was the case back in 2005 these “immigrants” are being labeled as “French Youths”. The reality is that the people resorting to violence are Muslim immigrants, and the term youth is loosely applied in these cases. As we found out back in 2005 - pictures of the incidents tell a different story as some of these “youths” looked to be in their mid- to late-twenties.

Many of you know Charleton Heston from his amazing movie roles; as Moses in The Ten Commandments, in Antony & Cleopatra, and in Ben-Hur. Those are the movies I watched of his when I was younger. He was truly an amazing actor. To see a complete list of the movies and appearances he has made over the year, please check out his bio at the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) - Charleton Heston.

During the 80s and 90s he made headlines on a fairly regular basis as a spokesperson for the NRA (National Rifleman’s Association). This brought criticism from the liberals and “gun grabbers”, but just like in his acting, he was a staunch and at time fierce proponent and never backed down from a “fight”. I didn’t agree with all of his (and the NRA’s) stances, but I definitely respect him for defending our Constitution. Would that there were more in Hollywood with his integrity, and his point of view.

Rest in peace, Mr. Heston.
And may God bless your family and friends with grace,
strength and comfort as they mourn your passing…

Soldiers’ Angels
Let no soldier go unloved
May no soldier walk alone.
May no soldier be forgotten.
Until they all come home.

Their motto is; “May No Soldier Go Unloved” and this group of people helps make sure that doesn’t happen. Their programs bring love an warmth into the lives of many around the globe… Please spend a moment looking over the list below at some of the programs and efforts that are underway, and that you can take part in! Or, click on the banner below the list, or on the side of this page to visit the Soldiers’ Angels website to find out how to become a member, or make a donation!

Teams & Programs at Soldiers’ Angels:

Angel Bakers
“The Angel Bakers are a group of highly dedicated Soldiers’ Angels who bake homemade treats for our deployed military heroes. Each month the Angel Bakers send specially-made cookies, brownies, and other treats to units identified by Soldiers’ Angels as needing extra Angel love. They may have been through an especially difficult experience during their deployment, living in especially trying conditions, or in need of a morale boost for a job well done. Our aim is to show our heroes how much people back home appreciate and care about them.”

 

Blankets of Hope
“Angels are needed to sew blankets for the wounded, blankets that have brought hope to many of our wounded heroes. Please help by joining our sewing circle or donating today!” Soldiers’ Angels has a number of ways that you can help provide blankets to our wounded heroes. Whether you would like to purchase a “Blanket of Hope” Kit, make a “no-sew” blanket, join a sewing circle, or make a donation, this is a worthwhile project bringing love to those who have sacrificed a lot for our Freedom.

Above: Blankets of Hope from the people at Soldiers’ Angels“When his parents arrived, the first thing he showed them was his Purple Heart. The second was his Blanket of Hope from Soldiers Angels !!!! I cannot tell you the emotional thank you we received from this young soldier’s mother!! Truly grateful for the Angels, I am!!! Way to go!!” Michel

Cards Plus Team
The Cards Plus Team is dedicated to helping soldiers, soldiers’ families and even angels receive support through cards. Cards can be requested for deployed soldiers for events such as:

• Birthdays
  
• Encouragement
  
• Thinking of you Get well
  
• Anniversary
  
• New baby
  
• Welcome home

Chaplain Support Team
The goal of the Chaplains Support Team is to provide direct support to the Chaplains, as they provide their assistance and comfort to the soldiers. The Chaplains perform most of their duties in a non-denominational capacity. We supply Chaplains with requested items related to their mission. We also provide them with requested numbers of hand-out letters and gifts that can be easily distributed to the many soldiers that Soldiers’ Angels may otherwise not be able to locate and support.

First Response Backpacks
In an effort to provide comfort to these wounded heros, the First Response Backpack was developed by a nonprofit organization named Soldiers’ Angels. The First Response Backpack is a backpack stuffed with personal items which are necessary and vital to the physical comfort of the soldiers. A typical First Response Backpack contains a toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, shampoo, soap and other hygiene products. It also contains articles of clothing and undergarments to provide the soldier some relief from the airy hospital gowns. A phone card is included so that the soldiers can call their family members while they recover. Each pack also contains a blanket. The blanket, dubbed a “Blanket of Hope” is handmade by Soldiers’ Angels volunteers and is accompanied by a note of well wishes for each soldier.

On May 10, 2006 Soldiers Angels shipped the 5,000th First Response Backpack The packs have been shipped to Combat Support Hospitals in Iraq and to all of the United States Military hospitals worldwide. The work of Soldiers’ Angels has been recognized by the Department of Defense and Patti Patton-Bader, the group’s founder and the niece of General George S. Patton, has been awarded the Civilian Award for Humanitarian Service by the Department of the Army.

Guardian Angels for Soldier’s Pet
Supporting our military service members, veterans, and their beloved
to ensure pets are reunited with their owners following deployment or emergency hardship.
What They Do:
Recruiting potential foster home caregivers (all states) interested in opening their homes to care for a beloved pet(s) of a military service member deploying in harm’s way and to help our military service members, military families, and veterans in emergency hardship situations. And, to work with military service members and veterans on a case-by-case basis with an emergency hardship.

Holidays for Heroes
“In homes across America, there will be an empty chair this holiday season. The man or woman usually sitting in that chair is in the military, serving overseas. There is no family Christmas or Chanukah for those brave soldiers. The Soldiers’ Angels family wants every deployed hero to know they are remembered and appreciated during the holidays. Please help Soldiers’ Angels deliver a gift and personal holiday message into the hands of all the deployed men or women this December. We are committed to providing Holiday Gift Bags for every soldier, Marine, airman and sailor deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as those working or recuperating in a Combat Support Hospital. That’s around 140,000 gifts to purchase, assemble, and ship around the world. This is a big challenge but with your support and our wonderful group of hard-working volunteers, it’s possible. Each Christmas gift bag contains either a Soldiers’ Angels stainless steel mug or a Christmas stocking, with white socks, a 150 minute International Pre-Paid phone card, hot cocoa mix, hot cider mix, power bar, Christmas candy, and a hand-written Christmas card. The cost is $10 per mug or stocking, or $25 with goodies and overseas shipping included. For our Jewish soldiers, we will also be sending Chanukah gifts, kosher goodies and hand-written Chanukah cards.“

Living Legends
“Living Legends began in May 2005 with a very small team of seven dedicated angels. The team’s mission was to let the families and friends of fallen heroes know that we were here to support them and to honor their loved one. At the same time, we had to make sure that we were sensitive to what the family was going through. While this team has grown tremendously, we have worked very hard to maintain that same level of dedication and sensitivity. This team is staffed with trained volunteers who carry out a very difficult mission for Soldiers’ Angels. Due to their dedication, Soldiers’ Angels is able to honor those heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and to pay our respects and offer our deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones grieving the painful loss of their son or daughter; husband or wife; brother or sister; mom or dad; aunt or uncle; their friend. Members of this special team send sympathy cards to convey our compassion and our heavy hearts to the families who have lost their loved one. We reach out and wrap our “Angel Wings” around the families who have lost so much. We offer each family a wreath or live memorial tree to be planted as a symbol of our deepest sympathies and respect for their loss. Our hope is that this tree will grow and flourish, giving the family and friends a living monument to the bravery and heroism of their loved one. The Living Legends team does a remarkable job representing every member of Soldiers’ Angels as they contact the families on our behalf.”

Operation Outreach
“ The purpose of Operation Outreach is to offer support to military families at home. We have had many requests from our Heroes asking for items not for themselves, but for their families at home. Deployment isn’t just hard on a Hero, it’s extraordinarily difficult for their family as well. Families worry, and struggle, and sacrifice, and Operation Outreach seeks to say “Thank You” to these unsung hometown Heroes. We are working to let our Heroes know that while they protect us over there, we will help look out for their families here at home.”

Operation Phone Home
Help soldiers and their loved ones stay in touch!

I work in the chapel here in Kuwait where many thousands of Soldiers come and go to catch flights either to go up north to Iraq or to go home back to the States. My request is for phone cards to give to these Soldiers, many of whom come in the Chapel asking for them. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

–U.S. Army Chaplain

Operation Top Knot
Do you enjoy making or shopping for baby gifts? Do you want to show your support for our troops and their families? If so, join us by participating in our virtual baby showers for the babies born to our deployed military personnel. Operation Top Knot is a group of Soldiers’ Angels volunteers established in November 2003 from a desire to do more to support the wives and children of U.S. soldiers. Deployments are difficult on the entire family unit, and more so when the family is expecting a child. Our mission is to commend the women and children at home for their strength, let them know we are proud of their sacrifices as well as their husband’s, and most importantly to do what we can to support them during such an emotionally difficult time. Our dedicated volunteers knit, crochet, sew, quilt, and design blankets, booties, hats, onesies, bibs, and many more homemade gifts.

Scarves
The Sand/Cooling Scarves team is a group of Angels who make Sand and Cooling scarves for our troops out in the sand box. The Sand Scarves are made of 100% knit cotton for comfort and is used to protect our brave soldiers from the elements of the deserts of the Middle East. Designed to keep sand from the nostrils and mouths and when tucked into the shirt, prevent the sand from getting inside the clothing.

SOS:Kids
We have had many requests from our soldiers asking for items to help them in their humanitarian missions to local towns and villages. Many of these soldiers are parents or have brothers and sisters, and their hearts go out to these children who have so much less than many other children. (Say Our Soldiers: Kids In-theater Deserve Support) The purpose of Operation SOS: KIDS is to send humanitarian relief through shipments to American soldiers for distribution to children in Iraq and Afghanistan, and other areas where our Heroes are deployed.

Valour-IT
Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, helps provide voice-controlled and adaptive laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand wounds and other severe injuries at major military medical centers. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone or using other adaptive technologies, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the ‘Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field. The experience of MAJ Charles “Chuck” Ziegenfuss, a partner in the project who suffered serious hand wounds while serving in Iraq, illustrates how important these laptops can be to a wounded service member’s recovery.

Veterans Support
The Soldiers Angels Veteran Affairs Support Team assists patients at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers, nursing homes and Stand Downs. This support can range from visiting patients to providing comfort items and clothing, to sponsoring special events like BBQs or assisting VA facilities with large-scale efforts to improve in-patients’ quality of life.
The VA Team was formed in 2007, in the aftermath of news stories about Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C. Reports had highlighted the poor living conditions some of the patients faced at the hospital, and Soldiers’ Angels Founder Patti Bader immediately looked for how Soldiers’ Angels could do to help. In response, the VA Team was formed. We are now a nationally-recognized VSO (Veterans Service Organization), which means we are included in VA facility meetings that help us stay informed on the needs of facilities and patients.

Wounded TLC
The Wounded TLC Team is made up of registered Soldiers Angels who want to make a difference and lend support during the difficult time when a hero is ill or wounded. Team members are asked to send cards/letters of support to these members of our military who after sometimes suffering catastrophic injuries need to know they are not forgotten. To learn more about the WTLC Team click here.

COLLECTIVISM:
1:a political or economic theory advocating collective control especially over production and distribution; also : a system marked by such control
2: emphasis on collective rather than individual action or identity

- Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary; Entry - Collectivism
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Collectivism
Accessed on March 31, 2008

 

Here is another, perhaps more complete, definition:

Collectivism holds that the individual is not an end to himself,
but is only a tool to serve the ends of the group.

What is the key principle underlying collectivism?
The theory of collectivism (in all its variants) holds that man is not an end to himself, but is only a tool to serve the ends of others. Collectivism, unlike individualism, holds the group as the primary, and the standard of moral value. Whether that group is a dictator’s gang, the nation, society, the race, (the) god(s), the majority, the community, the tribe, etc., is irrelevant — the point is that man in principle is a sacrificial victim, whose only value is his ability to sacrifice his happiness for the will of the “group”.

What is the opposite of collectivism?
The opposite of collectivism is individualism. Individualism declares that each and every man, may live his own life for his own happiness, as an end to himself. Politically, the result of such as principle is capitalism: a social system where the individual does not live by permission of others, but by inalienable right.

Now that you know what Communism, oops, I mean collectivism is, you will know what to look for as you read the interview linked below that Barack Obama gave just 10 years ago…

Here are just two of the more audacious quotes from the interview;

[One Quick Aside; As I was reading this before posting this note to all of your I thought to myself, "Wow, the title of Obama's book was really like a freudian slip wasn't it. Obama and his closest supporters actually had the "Audacity to Hope", that people wouldn't realize the true content of his character in a National Campaign. The Democrats really messed this one up allowing him to get this far - unless this is what they all believe! I guess we shouldn't be surprised really... A quote of Maya Angelou's came to my attention in the last few days, she said (paraphrased) Believe somebody when they show you who they are... the FIRST time.]

Anyone familiar with Star Trek will identify the first quote of Obama’s as sounding eerily familiar to the Borg! Automatons without thoughts of their own, with no desire, but that of the collective. Does Barack imagine himself some come-to-life version of the Borg Queen?
- Michelle

Obama on Individualism, vs. Collective thought, action and deed…
In America,” Obama says, “we have this strong bias toward individual action. You know, we idolize the John Wayne hero who comes in to correct things with both guns blazing. But individual actions, individual dreams, are not sufficient. We must unite in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations.”

- Barack Obama,
Interview with the Chicago Reader, 1995

Obama on the Million Man March, which he attended:
Historically, African-Americans have turned inward and towards black nationalism whenever they have a sense, as we do now, that the mainstream has rebuffed us, and that white Americans couldn’t care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing”

- Barack Obama,
Interview with the Chicago Reader, 1995

Please go to Nice Deb’s Blog to read the rest of the interview…

OH, WAIT!!! I almost forgot! What about Hillary, you say?

In case you think I’m just slammin’ on Obama, please consider the following - Hillary is no different than Barack. She just has a different name for describing the good Democrats that she has met along the campaign trail. She describes them as good “Communitarians“. [Communitarianism is basically the same as collectivism, denial of all forms of self, in the pursuit of the benefit of the whole, with no thought to the goodness of invidualism. In other words, denying our God-given freedom of thought even for the good of the majority. - Michelle]

“I was shocked when I learned Iowa and Mississippi have never elected a woman governor, senator or member of Congress,” Clinton told the paper. “There has got to be something at work here. How can Iowa be ranked with Mississippi? That’s not the quality. That’s not the communitarianism, that’s not the openness I see in Iowa.”

- Hillary Clinton, stated to the Des Moines Register,
October 2007, while campaigning in Iowa during the Primaries

 

Now, you may say Communitarianism is the opposite of libertarianism, and you may be right, but it is also the enemy ideologically to the United States as a Freedom Loving Constitutional Republic! We were not set up as a Socialist/Communist government. Which is the TRUE agenda of both Collectivism, and Communitarianism. And those who say, either ignorantly, or dishonestly that it’s not would end up paving the way for those who recognize it as such, and destroy our country along the way.

Conservatism, Individualism, Capitalism, and it’s friends in philosophical ideology are what’s best about the United States and what has made this country the most free in the world. We cannot let Collectivists, Communitarians, Socialists, and Communists oppress us like they have millions of other poor unfortunate souls across the world (See Soviet Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Fidel Castro, etc…) and are doing to this day (see China, Chavez/Venezuela, Kim Jong Il/North Korea).

Thanks to “Nice Deb“, who brings news of the interview linked below to the blogosphere, and to “Jet Jaguar” over on FreeRepublic.com who notified me of the posting of publication of this expose at Ace of Spades.

Welcome to the brand-new LibertyRocks.us website! I have a lot of things planned for this site, and will be listing a few of them below, ASAP. In the meantime, feel free to visit The LibertyRocks Blog.

Come back soon for more information on the kinds of things you will be able to find here in the near future. I think you will find that if you are a conservative - or even if you aren’t - the resources I put together here will be valuable to you.
