What Do Martin Luther King, Barack Obama, Elvis Presley And 9-11 Have In Common?

Today marks eight years since one of the darkest days in American history.

And I have spent days agonizing over what would be appropriate to commememorate the events of that faithful day.

There will be millions of people doing the same thing today.

Myself, I am not a professional speechmaker, I am just a simple man who loves his country.

I still get a tear in my eye when I hear the playing of the national anthem.

I also know that, no matter the platitudes or the placating gestures our President makes, there are still many people who desire nothing more than the utter destruction of this land that I love.

And that pretty speeches and needless apologies aren’t going to change that.

President Obama, please listen to the words of two of my favorite people of all time, and come to understand something.

The dream of everyone in the world living in peace, while the world is filled with people who are bent on our country’s destruction, is just that.

A dream.

President Obama, your primary duty as President is to take whatever steps that are necessary to be sure that we never see a repeat of those images.

Your primary duty as a human being is to see to it that never again does someone feel compelled to make a video such as this one:

Hawaii Tells The President Of The United States To Go To Hell

Our recent post, Obama And His Birth Certificate Are About To Make History, as of the time this is being written, has received over 19,000 hits.

Lots of interest in this issue, both for and against our point of view.

A common thread among the comments that this article has received, as well as on hundreds of other websites is that the reason Obama hasn’t released his long-form birth certificate is that Hawaii won’t give it to him.

Do these people seriously believe that the man holding the title of President of the United States, a man who can appoint staffers to high-level government positions without Congressional approval, who can issue Presidential pardons, and who can, simply by picking up a phone, launch a nuclear missle strike against any place on Earth, cannot get the state of Hawaii to release his original birth certificate?

How delusional does someone have to be to believe that?

Another common claim from the people who have overdosed on Kool-Aid is that he is simply choosing not to release his original birth certificate because a court has not forced him to do so.

Perhaps these people are correct.
Obama won’t put this matter to rest because no court has forced him to do so.

Of course, that fails to explain the over one million dollars the political action committee Obama For America has spent fighting the numerous lawsuits that have been brought hoping to force Obama to produce this document.

It also shows a total disdain for the wishes of the American public, as over 400,000 people have signed World Net Daily’s online petition requesting public release of Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

If over 400,00 people have put their names to a petition asking to see this information, probably 10 to a hundred times as many also wish for it.

However, even if the number is not 40 million but indeed is four hundred thousand, that is a very large segment of the American public for the President to ignore.
Perhaps a large enough segment to spell the difference between victory and defeat the next time he runs.

This lack of action also ignores the possible national security implications of Obama’s failure to address this issue.

Recently, World Net Daily broke the story of Army Major Stefan Cook, whose orders to deploy to Afghanistan were revoked after he claimed that he should not be required to serve under a President who has not proven his eligibility for office.

We are still researching the ultimate effect this may have on the member’s of America’s armed forces, as well as any possible Constitutional consequences.

However, the fact that the military revoked a soldier’s deployment orders based opon the man’s claim that the President has failed to prove that he is the legitimate Commander-In-Chief should be more than enough to make any rational person think twice.

The bottom line is this.

Never before in the history of America has such a question been raised.

And the American public deserves an answer, not from supporters or opponents, but from the President himself.

Do Something Different This Fathers Day

Most of you who are lucky enough to have your father as part of your lives will do the traditional things today.

Maybe take dad out to dinner.

Or give him an outlandish tie, or a bottle of after-shave that smells like Evening in Ethiopia.

Might I suggest something different?

Some of you may know of a family that won’t have their father around today, as he is off serving in America’s military.

Tragically, some of you know of kids who may have lost their father while he was serving in the military.

Pay these kids a visit.

Buy them some ice cream.

Take them to a movie.

Their lives, as well as your own, will be better for it.

George Bush Was The Worst President Ever!

The mainstream media is still ranting about how they consider George Bush to be the worst man ever to have been President.

And if you didn’t know better, by listening to them you would think that Bush is about as smart as a bag of hammers.

As for my thoughts about the mainstream media, I wouldn’t believe a talking-head such as Charles Gibson or Katie Couric if they told me water was wet!

Let’s do a little history lesson just to see how stupid Bush really was:

1979: Islamic militants sieze the U.S. embassy in Tehran and hold 52 Americans hostage for the next 444 days. Barack Obama’s older brother, Jimmy Carter, does nothing.
On the day of Ronald Reagan’s inauguration, the militants, knowing there was a new sheriff in town, one who just might turn the captors into sub-atomic particles, release the hostages.

1980’s: 17 killed at the U.S. embassy in Beirut, 241 killed at the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.
Believing that Lybian dictator Moammar Kadafi is behind the attacks that have plagued U.S. interests throughout the decade, Reagan has American planes bomb targets in Libya, killing dozens.
Kadafi climbs inside a camel’s ass and pretty much keeps to himself for the next 25 years.

1990/1991: Iraq invades Kuwait.
George Bush senior forms a coalition of 32 nations and invades Iraq.
Within a few weeks time, what little is left of the Iraq army leaves Kuwait.
Saddam Hussein doesn’t get what he deserves until the next Bush becomes president.

1992-2000: Bill Clinton spends his years in the White House ruining Monica Lewinsky’s dress.
And while he’s busy with affairs of state, we get the following:

1993: A 1500 pound car bomb detonates below Tower One of the World Trade Center, killing 6 people and injuring 1,042.

1996: Members of the Hizballah Al-Hijaz explode a fuel truck outside the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, killing 24 U.S. servicemen.

2000: In October, towards the end (thank God) of Clinton’s presidency, a small craft explodes next to the USS Cole, blowing a 40 by 60 foot hole in the ship’s hull, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39 others.
Clinton, throughout all these acts of terrorism against America, spends his 8 years in the White House worrying about impeachment and where his next intern is coming from.

These little snippets of history contain an important lesson for the current Islamic Jihadist-appeasing occupant of the White House.

You can sit back and do nothing, as did Clinton and Carter, and further embolden the enemies of America.

Or you can follow the path taken by Reagan and Bush 1 and 2, and strike back, letting the people hell-bent on the destruction of America know that they will pay a terrible price for their actions against us.

Mr. President, I pray that you have a change of heart, and come to realize that not only does this nation still face a grave danger from our foes, your actions are only making matters worse, and leaving this country wide-open to another 9-11 type of attack.

And never again in my lifetime do I want to see someone compelled to make a video like this:

Terrorist Attacks In America: A Nightmare Waiting To Happen

A while back, we wrote an article outlining how terrorist cells are running training camps in the USA.

That prompted one of our readers to inform us that he had written an article expressing his thoughts on this subject.

We looked it over, and it is an informative, well-written piece that we feel should be shared.

We urge all of you to read it, and consider the grave implications carefully.

Here’s the link: Nightmare Waiting To Happen.

The Last Words Of An American Soldier

One of our readers sent us the following, and asked if we would help pass it along.
We are proud to do so.

A Soldier’s last words, Oct 22, 2007 8:52 pm

SGT. Edmund John Jeffer’s last few words were some of the most touching, inspiring and most truthful words spoken since the tragedy of 9/11 – and since our nation went to war.

SGT. Jeffers was a strong soldier and talented writer. He died in Iraq on September 19, 2007.
He was a loving husband, brother and son.
His service was more than this country could ever grasp – but the least you can do for the man who sacrificed his life for you … is listen to what he had to say.

Compare his observations to the cynicism of the Cindy Sheehans and Al Frankens, Chris Mathews, Keith Olberman, MSNBC, CNN, NBC and CBS who presume to call themselves ‘patriots’…..

Hope Rides Alone
By Eddie Jeffers

I stare out into the darkness from my post, and I watch the city burn to the ground.
I smell the familiar smells, I walk through the familiar rubble, and I look at the frightened faces that watch me pass down the streets of their neighborhoods.
My nerves hardly rest; my hands are steady on a device that has been given to me from my government for the purpose of taking the lives of others.

I sweat, and I am tired.
My back aches from the loads I carry.

Young American boys look to me to direct them in a manner that will someday allow them to see their families again…and yet, I too, am just a boy….my age not but a few years more than that of the ones I lead.
I am stressed, I am scared, and I am paranoid…because death is everywhere.
It waits for me, it calls to me from around street corners and windows, and it is always there.

There are the demons that follow me, and tempt me into thoughts and actions that are not my own…but that are necessary for survival.
I’ve made compromises with my humanity.
And I am not alone in this.

Miles from me are my brethren in this world, who walk in the same streets…who feel the same things, whether they admit to it or not.
And to think, I volunteered for this…
And I am ignorant to the rest of the world…or so I thought.

But even thousands of miles away, in Ramadi , Iraq, the cries and screams and complaints of the ungrateful reach me.
In a year, I will be thrust back into society from a life and mentality that doesn’t fit your average man.
And then, I will be alone.
And then, I will walk down the streets of America , and see the yellow ribbon stickers on the cars of the same people who compare our President to Hitler.

I will watch the television and watch the Cindy Sheehans, and the Al Frankens, and the rest of the ignorant sheep of America spout off their mouths about a subject they know nothing about.
It is their right, however, and it is a right that is defended by hundreds of thousands of boys and girls scattered across the world, far from home.

I use the word boys and girls, because that’s what they are.
In the Army, the average age of the infantryman is nineteen years old. The average rank of soldiers killed in action is Private First Class.

People like Cindy Sheehan are ignorant.
Not just to this war, but to the results of their idiotic ramblings, or at least I hope they are.
They don’t realize its effects on this war.
In this war, there are no Geneva Conventions, no cease fires.

Medics and Chaplains are not spared from the enemy’s brutality because it’s against the rules.
I can only imagine the horrors a military Chaplain would experience at the hands of the enemy.

The enemy slinks in the shadows and fights a coward’s war against us.
It is effective though, as many men and women have died since the start of this war.

And the memory of their service to America is tainted by the inconsiderate remarks on our nation’s news outlets.
And every day, the enemy changes…only now, the enemy is becoming something new.
The enemy is transitioning from the Muslim extremists to Americans.

The enemy is becoming the very people whom we defend with our lives.
And they do not realize it.

But in denouncing our actions, denouncing our leaders, denouncing the war we live and fight, they are isolating the military from society…and they are becoming our enemy.

Democrats and peace activists like to toss the word ‘quagmire’ around and compare this war to Vietnam .
In a way they are right, this war is becoming like Vietnam .
Not the actual war, but in the isolation of country and military.

America is not a nation at war; they are a nation with its military at war.

Like it or not, we are here, some of us for our second, or third times; some even for their fourth and so on. Americans are so concerned now with politics, that it is interfering with our war.

Terrorists cut the heads off of American citizens on the Internet…and there is no outrage, but an American soldier kills an Iraqi in the midst of battle, and there are investigations, and sometimes soldiers are even jailed…for doing their job.

It is absolutely sickening to me to think our country has come to this.

Why are we so obsessed with the bad news?
Why will people stop at nothing to be against this war, no matter how much evidence of the good we’ve done is thrown in their face?
When is the last time CNN or MSNBC or CBS reported the opening of schools and hospitals in Iraq ?
Or the leaders of terror cells being detained or killed?

It’s all happening, but people will not let up their hatred of Bush.
They will ignore the good news, because it just might show people that Bush was right.

America has lost its will to fight.
It has lost its will to defend what is right and just in the world.
The crazy thing of it all is that the American people have not even been asked to sacrifice a single thing.
It’s not like World War Two, where people rationed food, and turned in cars to be made into metal for tanks.
The American people have not been asked to sacrifice anything.
Unless you are in the military or the family member of a service member, its life as usual…the war doesn’t affect you.

But it affects us.
And when it is over, and the troops come home, and they try to piece together what’s left of them after their service…where will the detractors be then?

Where will the Cindy Sheehans be to comfort and talk to soldiers and help them sort out the last couple years of their lives, most of which have been spent dodging death and wading through the deaths of their friends?
They will be where they always are, somewhere far away, where the horrors of the world can’t touch them. Somewhere where they can complain about things they will never experience in their lifetime; things that the young men and women of America have willingly taken upon their shoulders.

We are the hope of the Iraqi people.
They want what everyone else wants in life: safety, security, somewhere to call home.
They want a country that is safe to raise their children in. Not a place where their children will be abducted, raped, and murdered if they do not comply with the terrorists demands.
They want to live on, rebuild and prosper.

And America has given them the opportunity, but only if we stay true to the cause, and see it to its end.
But the country must unite in this endeavor…we cannot place the burden on our military alone. We must all stand up and fight, whether in uniform or not.

And supporting us is more than sticking yellow ribbon stickers on your cars.
It’s supporting our President, our troops and our cause.

Right now, the burden is all on the American soldiers.

Right now, hope rides alone.

But it can change, it must change.
Because there is only failure and darkness ahead for us as a country, as a people, if it doesn’t.

Let’s stop all the political nonsense, let’s stop all the bickering, let’s stop all the bad news, and let’s stand and fight!

Eddie’s father, David Jeffers, writes:

I’m not sure how many letters or articles you’ve ever read from the genre of ‘News from the Front,’ but this is one of the best I’ve ever read, including all of America’s wars.

As I was reading this, I forgot that it was my son who had written it.

My emotions range from great pride to great sorrow, knowing that my little boy (22 years old) has become this man.

He is my hero.

Thank all of you for your prayers for him; he needs them now more than ever. God bless. Though Eddie is no longer with us, you can help to let his voice be heard.

The Obama Administration’s Next Step In Dealing With Terrorism

I disagree with just about every policy or proposal put forth by the Obama adminsitration.

However, I still consider myself a patriotic American, and therfore want to humbly offer President Obama my advice.

Among the methods I have heard projected for dealing with terrorist harboring rogue nations such as Iran seem to me to simply be a continuation of some of the methods tried by the Bush administration.
Among them are:

United Nations resolutions

Negotiation

Diplomacy

Face-to-face dialogues

Economic sanctions

And I am sure there are many that I am leaving out.

However, as in any area of life, it is always a good idea to have a backup plan in place and ready to go, just in case your plans fail to achieve the results you are hoping for.

So with ending the threat of terrorism against the United States such a vital issue to the security, the safety, and the future of America and all of her citizens, you may want to consider the method outlined in the video below:

Code Pink Blocks Recruiting Center Entrance

I have always held the belief that you should never argue with an idiot, as they will beat you to death with experience.

However, I just came across something that compels me to violate that rule.

And so I am issuing an invitation to any and all members of the radical protest group Code Pink.
I want you to come to my hometown and attempt the same maneuver with me as you pulled in the video below.
If you truly believe in your cause, PLEASE come to my area.

Don’t be deterred by the fact that the members of the law enforcement community where I live would have a much different response than did the Keystone Kops who try and pass themselves off as police officers in Berkely, California.
Hell. I won’t even call the police.
On that you have my word.

I will promise you one thing however.
I will enter the building.

And on the off chance that anyone of you Code Pink pinheads would be so foolhardy as to try and stop me, I will bring my son along so that you will be able to avail yourselves of his services afterwards.

No, he is not an attorney.

He’s a paramedic.

Obama’s Civilian Defense Force Update April 5th, 2009

I thought that I had better include a date in the title because the staff here at Freedom Medium will have a lot to say on this topic in the coming weeks and months.

At the end of this article you will find a link to the White House website where you can check the accuracy of what I am about to write.
I’m doing it that way because I am sure that by now, given the current administration’s intense dislike of anyone who does not agree with one of their policies, I don’t want to be charged with plagarism or copyright infringement.

Now, let’s get down to business.

Part of the Obama administration’s agenda is to expand AmeriCorps from 75,000 slots to 250.000.
Where in the world are an additional One Hundred and Seventy Five Thousand people supposed to come from?
And the part about helping communities plan, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
If we are talking about such things as floods or hurricanes, isn’t that what the National Guard is for?
Please don’t tell me that these forces are meant to supplement the National Guard.
Perhaps they will be called upon to perform duties that members of the military would refuse to do, because the orders they received were unconstitutional.

Again this is one I will leave you to draw your own conclusions on.

Then we have this one: “Require 100 Hours Of Service in College.”

Of course, this is meant to be offset by a new “American Opportunity Tax Credit of $4,000 a year in exchange for 100 hours of public service a year.”

Before you tell me that I am out of my mind to sneer at a $4,000 tax credit, allow me to ask a question:

When the hell did the United States Government acquire the right to require a citizen of the United States to perform 100 hours of community service a year simply because they are attending college?
If someone could become eligible to receive this credit because they volunteered for and performed
100 hours of community service, I would not have a problem with that.
To an extent, I would even be OK with this if it were part of a provision for receiving tuition grants, perhaps even securing a student loan.

I am one of those old fashioned patriots who feels that the only thing the government can require
me to do is to obey the law, and of course to pay my taxes.
Unlike most members of President Obama’s Cabinet.

Here’s the link:  White House Agenda

John Murtha Ambushed By Jason Mattera

This guy is fast becoming a favorite of those of us here at Freedom Medium.

A few days ago we presented a video showing how Jason Mattera called out tax cheat Charlie Rangel.

This one has to be from awhile ago, but it is well worth seeing.
Here, Mr. Mattera questions Pennsylvania Congressman John “Prince of Pork” Murtha about Murtha’s remarks that members of the U.S. military were murderers.
Of course, Murtha has nothing to say in his own defense.
And watch for the brillant statement he comes up with when Mattera attempts to follow him.

Mattera is the kind of person the mainstream media could use, one who isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions.
