Jane Fonda's a TRAITOR
I received a copy of this message tonight via another veteran I know, my father.
PLEASE READ; feel free to copy and forward.
OBAMA to honor Jane Fonda
SHE REALLY WAS A TRAITOR!!
And now OBAMA wants to honor her ......!!!!
In Memory of
LT. C.Thomsen Wieland
Who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton
IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED
ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FORWARD THIS SO THAT
EVERYONE WILL KNOW!!!!!!
She really is a traitor
A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED
KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA
This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do
Not remember, and didn't have to bear the
Burden that our fathers, mothers and older
Brothers and sisters had to bear.
Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the
'100 Women of the Century.'
BY BARBRA WALTERS
Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still
Countless others have never known how Ms.
Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country,
But specific men who served and sacrificed
During Vietnam.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot.
The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.
In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF
Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison
The "Hanoi Hilton."
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell,
Cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was
Ordered to describe for a visiting American
'Peace Activist' the 'lenient and humane
Treatment he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was
Dragged away.
During the subsequent beating, he fell forward
On to the camp Commandant 's feet, which
Sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from
Double vision (which permanently ended his
Flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied
Application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the
47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the
' Hanoi Hilton',,, the first three of which his
family only knew he was 'missing in action'.
His wife lived on faith that he was still alive.
His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and
clothed routine in preparation for a
'peace delegation' visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to
Get word to the world that they were alive
And still survived. Each man secreted a tiny
piece of paper, with his Social Security Number
on it, in the palm of his hand.
When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a
cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each
man's hand and asking little encouraging
snippets like: 'Aren't you sorry you bombed
babies?' and 'Are you grateful for the humane
treatment from your benevolent captors?'
Believing this HAD to be an act, they each
palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat.. At the
end of the line and once the camera stopped
rolling; to the shocked disbelief of the POWs,
she turned to the officer in charge and handed
him all the little pieces of paper.
BECAUSE OF JANE FONDA.. Three men died from the subsequent beatings.
Colonel Carrigan was almost number four
But he survived, which is the only reason we
know of her actions that day.
I was a civilian economic development advisor
in Vietnam , and was captured by the North
Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in
1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one
year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year
in a 'black box' in Hanoi.
My North Vietnamese captors deliberately
poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a
nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South
Vietnam , whom I buried in the jungle near the
Cambodian border.
At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs.
(My normal weight is 170 lbs)
We were Jane Fonda's 'war criminals..'
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi , I was asked by
the camp communist political officer if I would
be willing to meet with her.
I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real
treatment we POWs received... And how
different it was from the treatment purported by
the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as
'humane and lenient.'
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky
floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched
with large steel weights placed on my hands,
and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda
soon after I was released. I asked her
if she would be willing to debate me on TV.
She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify
someone who should be honored as part
of '100 Years of Great Women.'
Lest we forget...' 100 Years of Great Women'
should never include a traitor whose hands are
covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral
reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in
blatant treason, is one of them.
Please take the time to forward to as many
people as you possibly can.
It will eventually end up on her computer and
she needs to know that we will never forget.

Help Wanted
A Japanese doctor said, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we took the kidney out of one man, put it in another, and had him looking for work in six weeks." A German doctor said, "That's nothing, we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks. A British doctor said, "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half of a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks." A Chicago doctor, not to be outdone said, “You guys are way behind. We took a man with no brains out of Chicago; put him in the White House, now half the country is looking for work.”Sorry, but to be fair; I wanted to open with a joke, since you won’t be laughing much after you read this. Awhile ago I heard rumblings that the BO administration was leaning heavily towards levying a “snack tax.” Basically what that means is there’d be a VAT (value added tax) attached to the purchase price of things like juice drinks and soda. Many European countries have it in ADDITION to paying 50% of their salary in income tax. As per the usual with Chicago politics...there’s always another layer; like a magician who’s third hand has found its way into your wallet. Osama, err...Obama’s VAT tax is the back door way of sneaking in a tax hike on the middle and lower classes...those his hollow campaign promises (ha ha) vowed he wouldn’t raise taxes on. It was also just reported that at the end of 2011, there’d be a middle class tax hike. Oops, sorry...but someone’s gotta pay for all this shit. Oh, and another thing... the definition of middle class has been reduced from $250,000 to $200,000; just FYI. I checked again today and yup, UNEMPLOYMENT is still HOLDING FAST at 9.7%...ummmm; hello, IS THIS THING ON??? Did no one but me hear him when he GUARANTEED us (after stealing the first Billion) that if we got the stimulus bill passed-right now!!- that we wouldn’t see unemployment top 9%? And not for nothing, but 9.7% is a heck of a lot better than the OVER 10%we were looking at just a few short months ago. The quarterly, “Jobs Creation Report,” turned out to be a roaring success...on paper. The fact is that it is focused purely on short-term PUBLIC sector positions; with the 2010 Census Taker’s making up the bulk of the surge. The bottom line is, if you don’t support the private sector, you’re forever beholden to a welfare state. True, the 1st of the month check career is a “livin easy” lifestyle, but who supports it after the 9 to 5’ers give up, too? Government assistance was created and designed to support those who grew too frail, were left on their own too young or became too disabled to work...not for those just too lazy to. And somehow with all these bailout’s and all of the government’s increased spending; Vice President Biden (who seriously makes Dan Quayle look like the president of MENSA) announced at a recent press conference that there’s, “NO WAY TO RECOVER THE 8 MILLION JOBS THAT WERE LOST DURING THE RECESSION.” When America wakes up, I’m pretty sure there will be at least TWO openings real soon...and evidently; sadly, NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. JGG “Help Wanted” is the second part of a three part series. Please join me next time when we turn our eye to the issues of health care, the G20 summit, Arizona’s new Immigration Law, the latest sanctions we’ve proposed for Iran and just who really benefited from the bank bailout. original post at http://politicalpatrol.blogspot.com NEED A BLOGGER?

Disengaged
This is the first part of a potentially three part series covering the sinking ship that is our federal government. We’ve suffered several serious blows and with no experts on the boat to figure out a fix; we’re taking on water and we’re going down; fast.
I long ago predicted that an Obama Administration would most surely yet swiftly usher in the Age of Armageddon and if the past year and a half is any indication in terms of my psychic foresight; I should be reading palms on the Jersey boardwalk for 10 bucks a pop.
For those of you who’ve read me before, to say I’ve never been a fan of this socialist regime would be an understatement. So because I began my writing career as a journalist, I will attempt to refrain from showing bias and instead dedicate this blog post to recapping, as objectively as possible, the “highlights” of the BO fiasco thus far.
Since the buffet of incompetence is fairly brimming over, and each and every one of these administrations missteps hold the same weight in terms of its potential to cripple our nation one way or another, the following list is in no particular order.
Hell, let’s kick it off with easily the worst environmental disaster in the history of the world. Today is June 28, 2010; day 70 of the BP oil spill. The explosion that caused the blowout of the oil well occurred mid-April and though the president found time to hit the golf course twice within that time frame; he didn’t make his first voyage down to the decimated region until the first week in May to assess the damage and assure the residents; himself, that all would be OK.
Even then he only made the trip in response to the public backlash at his lack of action.
Unfortunately, it seems, he hadn’t spent any of that downtime brainstorming a solution to the crisis because when he finally did show up, his entire strategy consisted of attacking BP, while stepping back from accepting any personal or administrative responsibility. His ever-ready, “IT’S NOT MY FAULT” defense, was in full swing.
Lashing out with righteous anger to simultaneously lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of BP’s CEO, Tony Hayward (admittedly, an idiot) and his old fall back, George Bush.
In the midst of the Gulf crisis, reports are the former chief of staff to Rod Blagojevich (the impeached Illinois Governor) says he believes Barack Obama knew of the then-governor's attempt to get a job in exchange for appointing a White House-preferred person to Obama’s senate seat.
John Harris, Blagojevich’s former top aide, testified during the governor’s corruption hearings this week that three days after Obama’s election as president, Blagojevich felt assured he had a deal from the president that would place aide Valerie Jarrett in the Senate. He offered no proof of his claim.
“The president understands that the governor would be willing to make the appointment of Valerie Jarrett as long as he gets what he's asked for,” Harris said in testimony.
Harris said the deal was that Blagojevich would get a “Cabinet appointment” in return. The White House has declined comment.
The same claim has been made by defense lawyers in past court filings, without supporting evidence.
The president spoke with FBI agents about the Blagojevich scandal soon after the former governor was arrested in 2008. Blagojevich’s legal team has tried to compel the FBI to release a transcript of the interview it conducted with the president, but the bureau has declined all requests.
In a conversation released earlier this week between Blagojevich and Harris recorded by the FBI, Blagojevich is heard saying his “objective” in shopping the Senate seat was to “get a good gig” in Washington.
Blagojevich suggested to Harris that he aim to become secretary of Health and Human Services or ambassador to the United Nations.
Again, no supporting evidence has been turned over yet, but to be sure if/when it ever is; his own party could prove to be his undoing and from what I know about Chicago politics, I’d wager good money that the proof exists somewhere and it’s being held as the ultimate bargaining tool.
One final fumble of the butterfinger’ed Obama admin I’d like to touch on is the recent Rolling Stone interview with General Stanley McChrystal and his top aides. The relationship suffered its initial blow in October of 2009 when a confidential report that McChrystal wrote which painted a grim picture of the allied mission in Afghanistan was leaked to the press.
Matters were helped none when the general then went on to give a series of candid interviews as well as the speech. He told Newsweek he was firmly against half measures in Afghanistan: "You can't hope to contain the fire by letting just half the building burn."
It was also reported that upon McChrystal’s first meeting with the president in the Oval Office, McChrystal found Obama to be, “disengaged,” and he got the sense that the president was "out of his league." The article goes on to document Team America’s booze-filled night, reporting, in candid detail, not only the general’s personal opinion of Obama’s abilities as Commander-in-Chief, but also those of his team: a group of soldiers described as a tight-knit unit of men who represent the most powerful force shaping U.S. policy in Afghanistan.
Mere days after the story ran, McChrystal was summoned to the Oval Office once again to face the music. This time he came prepared with his resignation papers in hand; indicating that even if he was not relieved of his duty, he had had enough and would not stay.
This whole embarrassing incident only served to further damage Obama’s image in the eyes of our enemies and allies, alike. And in what is perhaps the sweetest twist of irony that reinforced the perception of the left’s waffling; the officer that Obama tapped to take over as the top U.S. Commander in Afghanistan just happens to be General David Petraeus, the brave patriot that Obama’s political puppet organization; MoveOn.org famously renamed, General BetrayUs.
This from a group of traitors and thugs who clearly disclaim at the bottom of their web page that: "MoveOn.org Political Action is a federal political committee which primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our values through a variety of activities aimed at influencing the outcome of the next election."
Somethings gotta turn around….

MoveOn.org Political Action is a federal political committee which primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our values through a variety of activities aimed at influencing the outcome of the next election.
SOMETHING’S GOTTA TURN AROUND….

This is the first part of a potentially three part series covering the sinking ship that is our federal government. We’ve suffered several serious blows and with no experts on the boat to figure out a fix; we’re taking on water and we’re going down; fast.
I long ago predicted that an Obama Administration would most surely yet swiftly usher in the Age of Armageddon and if the past year and a half is any indication in terms of my psychic foresight; I should be reading palms on the Jersey boardwalk for 10 bucks a pop.
For those of you who’ve read me before, to say I’ve never been a fan of this socialist regime would be an understatement. So because I began my writing career as a journalist, I will attempt to refrain from showing bias and instead dedicate this blog post to recapping, as objectively as possible, the “highlights” of the BO fiasco thus far.
Since the buffet of incompetence is fairly brimming over, and each and every one of these administrations missteps holds the same weight in terms of its potential to cripple our nation one way or another, the following list is in no particular order.
Hell, let’s kick it off with easily the worst environmental disaster in the history of the world. Today is June 28, 2010; day 70 of the BP oil spill. The explosion that caused the blowout of the oil well occurred mid-April and though the president found time to hit the golf course twice within that time frame; he didn’t make his first voyage down to the decimated region until the first week in May to assess the damage and assure the residents; himself, that all would be OK.
Even then he only made the trip in response to the public backlash at his lack of action. Unfortunately, it seems, he hadn’t spent any of that downtime brainstorming a solution to the crisis because when he finally did show up, his entire strategy consisted of attacking BP, while stepping back from accepting any personal or administrative responsibility. His ever-ready, “IT’S NOT MY FAULT” defense, was in full swing. Lashing out with righteous anger to simultaneously lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of BP’s CEO, Tony Hayward (admittedly, an idiot) and his old fall back, George Bush.
In the midst of the Gulf crisis, reports are the former chief of staff to Rod Blagojevich (the impeached Illinois Governor) says he believes Barack Obama knew of the then-governor's attempt to get a job in exchange for appointing a White House-preferred person to Obama’s senate seat.
John Harris, Blagojevich’s former top aide, testified during the governor’s corruption hearings this week that three days after Obama’s election as president, Blagojevich felt assured he had a deal from the president that would place aide Valerie Jarrett in the Senate. He offered no proof of his claim.
“The president understands that the governor would be willing to make the appointment of Valerie Jarrett as long as he gets what he's asked for,” Harris said in testimony.
Harris said the deal was that Blagojevich would get a “Cabinet appointment” in return. The White House has declined comment. The same claim has been made by defense lawyers in past court filings, without supporting evidence.
The president spoke with FBI agents about the Blagojevich scandal soon after the former governor was arrested in 2008. Blagojevich’s legal team has tried to compel the FBI to release a transcript of the interview it conducted with the president, but the bureau has declined all requests.
In a conversation released earlier this week between Blagojevich and Harris recorded by the FBI, Blagojevich is heard saying his “objective” in shopping the Senate seat was to “get a good gig” in Washington.
Blagojevich suggested to Harris that he aim to become secretary of Health and Human Services or ambassador to the United Nations.
Again, no supporting evidence has been turned over yet, but to be sure if/when it ever is; his own party could prove to be his undoing and from what I know about Chicago politics, I’d wager good money that the proof exists somewhere and it’s being held as the ultimate bargaining tool.
One final fumble of the butterfinger’ed Obama admin I’d like to touch on is the recent Rolling Stone interview with General Stanley McChrystal and his top aides. The relationship suffered its initial blow in October of 2009 when a confidential report that McChrystal wrote which painted a grim picture of the allied mission in Afghanistan was leaked to the press. Matters were helped none when the general then went on to give a series of candid interviews as well as the speech. He told Newsweek he was firmly against half measures in Afghanistan: "You can't hope to contain the fire by letting just half the building burn."
It was also reported that upon McChrystal’s first meeting with the president in the Oval Office, McChrystal found Obama to be, “disengaged,” and he got the sense that the president was out of his league. The article goes on to document Team America’s booze-filled night, reporting, in candid detail, not only the general’s personal opinion of Obama’s abilities as Commander-in-Chief, but also those of his team. A group of soldiers described as a tight-knit unit of men who represent the most powerful force shaping U.S. policy in Afghanistan.
Mere days after the story ran, McChrystal was summoned to the Oval Office once again to face the music. This time he came prepared with his resignation papers in hand; indicating that even if he was not relieved of his duty, he had had enough and would not stay.
This whole embarrassing incident only served to further damage Obama’s image in the eyes of our enemies and allies, alike. And in what is perhaps the sweetest twist of irony that reinforced the perception of the left’s waffling; the officer that Obama tapped to take over as the top U.S. Commander in Afghanistan just happens to be General David Petraeus, the brave patriot that Obama’s political puppet organization; MoveOn.org famously renamed, General BetrayUs. This from a group of traitors and thugs who clearly disclaim at the bottom of their web page that:

What's the Difference?
"Obama to Address Nation Tuesday Night on Gulf Oil Spill"...meanwhile..."Pakistan Agency funds: Trains-Taliban"
That’s why you don't elect a one term senator propped up by 10 second sound bites; who uses a 1200 thread count Egyptian cotton sheet to blot-up the water behind his ears…. TO BE THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD.
I know Bush was an easy target…but let’s take a moment and look at it ONE MORE TIME…the economic/social paradigm of our great nation is cyclical. Since 1964 (Kennedy); our national prosperity has been a back and forth see-saw of affluence and decline.
I left America, to reside on the other side of the world in Dubai; when I saw our fore-father’s shed blood’s writing on the wall. This new found, “international world order” is a blatant spit in the eye of every vision our founders held dear.
And quick; one, two, three….CLOCK IT!!!
What was the difference in reactions between Bush’s response to Katrina and Obama’s response to the oil crisis (other than a 3 day lag time added to BO’S reaction?) And why has no issue been made of that in the transparent leftist media we are forced to entertain?
It is not INHUMANE to want to do better than your parents. It is not GREEDY to work really hard and then to be fairly compensated for your efforts.
What incentive does anyone have to go above and beyond if one’s efforts will be equalized and then distributed to those who choose to do nothing???
EVERY great nation that has ever succumbed to socialism has failed…bar none.
NO ONE EVER DIED TRYING TO GET OUT OF AMERICA!!!!
