You
Are Known by the Company You Keep!

You
know until I started writing commentary on different issues I never
realized just how smart my mother was. This is yet another of
her lessons to me as a child. One that often made me angry at the
time, however looking back I can see she definitely had a point.
Yesterday,
David Horowitz wrote an
article about the weekends events, the so called peace march
in Washington DC. An event attended by the Black leaders
Jesse Jackson, and presidential hopeful Al Sharpton. What
message did they send us by attending this event? Well, I don't
know about you but my mother's words came to mind. Folks,
you are known by the company you keep.
So,
what company were they keeping when they gathered to support this peace
March? Well that is the kicker here, they were supporting a well
known communist organization, who were responsible for organizing the
march.
Now
I can understand some of our children who are being brainwashed as
part of their educational process by professors who are adherents to
the communist movement in this country, but when "Civil Rights
Leaders?"
like Jackson and Sharpton join the group, and in the process attack
their own country one has to wonder what the real motive behind their
participation is, when it comes to their own freedom that they claim
to desire.
I
was raised in this country, in an area where discrimination was nearly
non-existent at the time of the first Civil Rights
movement. I was raised to respect all people no matter
what race they were, and was taught to be nice to everyone because
someday you could end up working for that person. This is a
philosophy that is also promoted by Bill Gates, who tells us to be
nice to the "nerds" in our classes because you most likely
will end up working for them.
Back
to the peace march. Although I fully agree with David Horowitz
on this issue, as I remember the chaos that these peaceniks
brought about in the 60's, my reasons for finding them obnoxious may
be slightly different from his. First of all the peace movements
of the 60's were about class warfare, children of those who perceived
themselves to be upper class did not want to be drafted into the army
to go off and fight a war they did not care about. My husband
and I were both serving our country at the time, but I really didn't
pay that much attention to all this at the time. Recently
I wrote an article called "About Our
Soldiers", where I explained why these peace marches really
upset me.
As
a wife who lost her first husband to a war we could not win because of
politics, and a mother who watched as her son went off to another war
in the early 90's it is all I can do to be civil to these anti-war
relics of the 60's. When I see them in a parking lot with their
signs, I leave, because if I were to stay I would surely end up in a
conflict with them. This has been the problem over the
years, we have allowed these loud mouth protestors to run our policies
in this country by not standing up to them.
I
don't think they have the majority, but they have certainly managed to
silence the majority through their intimidating
methods.
Last
weekend there were a few arrest, only those who attempted to get
over the barriers and access the Whitehouse. Most of their
ranting's and anti-American verbalization was allowed to stand.
These people think nothing of destroying public property that is paid
for with your tax dollars. In my opinion this is not peaceful
assembly, yet it is rarely ever charged back to the organizations
that bring these events about. The cost of cleanup after
one of these events is paid for by the taxpayer, not the
organizers.
I
don't think they would be so willing to get out and trash a city if
they were held financially responsible for the needed additional
police forces, fire department personnel, and the cleanup.
Perhaps it is time to make them pay these costs. After all I am
not allowed to throw a party in a rented hall unless I either do the
cleaning myself, or pay to have it done. Why should these
people be allowed to foist their costs off on us, the taxpayer?
I
really hate the fact that my husband died fighting to protect their
rights, I hated it even more when my son was fighting to protect them
as well.
They
are against the war because they want this country turned into yet
another third world communist Mecca. That is the only reason
behind their wrath and why they protest. I think their time would
be better spent teaching their children some manners.
My
message to Mr. Sharpton is this: Any chance you had of becoming
president, which in my opinion was little or none, has now gone out
the window, because sir "you are known by the company you
keep". This weekend that company was the Marxist party, and
I for one will never vote for someone that blatantly stands with the
communist.
Jackson's
appearance there was no surprise, he in my opinion is nothing more
than an opportunist, and this gave him the opportunity to get his face
on Television even if only for a second or two. His words ring
hollow as long as he takes from companies and gives nothing to his
people. He is no champion of the under-privileged, because it is
more than obvious he lacks the moral character to really care about
anyone other than his own comfort. It is my hope that somehow,
someway the IRS puts him out of business.
I
personally cannot wait for the day, when the good people
"Black, Red, Yellow, Brown and White" in this country wake
up and see these people for what they are. Traitors that support
our enemy and are willing to demoralize those who are sent to war to
protect their rights to protest. For this reason I get angry
when I see them out marching in the streets, because I know they have
no more chance of turning this great nation into a communist mess,
than a snow ball has a chance on an asphalt parking lot in the middle
of July.
