Off to St. Paul

I received a call on Monday from the MN GOP, telling me that there was a ticket for me to the RNC on Wednesday. Later that day , I talked to Savage Republican and he told me that Ron Carey, Exec. Chair of the MN GOP had arranged for the ticket and the call.
I've been invited to a bloggers lunch today by Ed Morrissey. So, though I promised I wouldn't get close to St. Paul even if a 9mm were pointed at my brain stem. Well, though the MSM would erroneously call this a flip flop, well, I'm using the occasion to introduce myself to people to promote another cause:
On June 6th, 1944, then Lt. Dick Winters (Band of Brothers), in his and the 101st Airborne first day in combat, took a squad of men to attack and silence four 105mm howitzers that were zeroed in on Utah beach and threatened the landings (intelligence first thought the howitzers were 88mm). Lt. Winters took his squad and formulated an attack against a German heavy platoon/light company that were in charge of the artillery battery.
This action is still studied at West Point as a perfect fire and maneuver action.
Lt. Winters was cited and recommended for the Medal of Honor. Lost in the decades of history is the reason that citation was downgraded to a Distinguished Service Cross. Stephen Ambrose wrote that there was a directive that there would only be one Medal of Honor per division in the Normandy campaign. I've never heard of any evidence to either support or refute that statement. Lt. Robert Cole was the only man from the 101st to receive the MOH.
What I've wanted to do, and Savage Republican is giving great help, is to have that original Medal of Honor citation re-instated. There have been a couple of attempts to have this done. Unfortunately, there were too local and not also not widely publicized.
I also need to be VERY clear: this is NOT an upgrade. This a re-instatement of the original citation! An upgrade would be if the original citation were for a DSC and people are trying to get that citation changed to the MOH. That is not the case here.
We have bought the domain name www.honoreasy.com . We are in the process of getting the website up. It is an informational website only. We urge people to contact their Congressman/Congresswoman to urge them to pass a resolution affirming and re-instating the original citation for MOH for Dick Winters. We urge people to call and write the White House and President Bush to right this wrong.
We will have all the information you'll need to do this.
If you have a blog, include the link www.honoreasy.com .
Savage Republican and I will be updating you here and on the website.
BTW, here are two scenes from YouTube and the Band of Brothers DVD showing the action that Lt. Winters was cited for.

One more drop redux

Yah gotta love video camcorders everywhere. This nasty bit of left wing true thought was captured on a flight from Denver to Charlotte (link here-read the comments! The below YouTube is a cleaned version from the Red State link so as to be better able to hear these two heartless creatures)

The speaker is none other than former Chair of the DNC Don Fowler. His companion is Congressman Jon Spratt (D-SC).
Like Michael Moore last week, they are giddy that Hurricane Gustav is going to hit the Gulf Coast during the Repubs Convention. No thought of concern for the misery, suffering, injury and death that a now Category 4 hurricane will cause. Just laughter. What an absolutely despicable lot! Absolutely despicable!
When will the decent people of America finally wake up and dump the Dems and the left?
There is NO compassion there. No belief in liberty, goodness, decency, America. None.
And those of you who vote Democrats into power ignore this bit of wisdom:
"Absolute power corrupts even when exercised for humane purposes. The benevolent despot who sees himself as a shepherd of the people still demands from others the submissiveness of sheep." -- The Longshoreman Philosopher
Again, be sure to read the comments in the link from above.

Grab the queen bee

From True North, I came across this link. What I found interesting was the third and second to the last paragraph as a counterpoint to the report of a search warrant served in St. Paul.
Chief states that talking to some MPD officers, he learned that as two uniform officers on bikes approach about a hundred "youths" the "youths" scattered. I wonder why?
The officers went on to say: " The police said there has been a large dispersal of many hives already, but they will surely re-connect by Monday or Tuesday. They said they have found stockpiles of re-bar rods, 2 x 4s with nails in the ends, buckets of feces, bike locks, hacksaws and other destructive toys of anarchist youth." Rebar, 2x4's with nails? Of real concern for me are the bike locks. They would be used to put across door handles to prevent exiting. And what would prevent one or more of these pukes from throwing a firebomb inside, then locking the door with a bike lock?
I am as concerned about about 4th Amendment rights as anyone. I've repeatedly spoken out against the USA PATRIOT ACT. I despise McCain/Feingold. However, this sign:

does not give these pukes super 4th Amendment protection when it involves them seeking to harm those of us who seek to peaceably assemble for a legal and legitimate purpose.
Reap what you sow.
Bye-bye anarkids!
