After photos from citizen journalists surfaced showing that Army troops patrolled the streets of Samson, Alabama during the recent mass-murder in the area, the Army has now admitted that those troops were present during a domestic law-enforcement matter.

As many have pointed out in recent days, there has been an ominous, growing alliance between law enforcement agencies and the U.S. military. Some have suggested that the Army is preparing to engage in domestic law enforcement.

Berkeley Needs to Pay for Its Sins

When the City of Berkeley, California sent out a letter referring to its local Marine recruitment personnel as 'unwelcomed intruders,' a firestorm of hostile controvery was ignited against the city all across the country.

At least 6 Senators have promised to pass a bill removing federal funds from Berkeley, a bill which ultra-Leftists such as Sen. Barbara Boxer and Rep. Barbara Lee vow to oppose.

Republicans in the California legislature have vowed to cut off state funds to the city as well.

Apparently the overwhelming disapproval, indignation, and outright disdain for Berkeley has been heard by its Mayor and City Council, who are now discussing either withdrawing the letter altogether or toning down the language.

The Mayor claims they did not mean to offend the military or the families of soldiers but merely wanted to express opposition to the War in Iraq.

Pardon me, Mr. Mayor, but exactly what part of the statement that the U.S. Marines are 'unwelcome intruders' would not be offensive to soldiers and their families?

The fact that you actually believe this statement will be taken seriously means either you are as dumb as a fence-post or you are so blinded by your ultra-Leftwing, Commie ideology that you can't even recognize the blatant insensitivity of your words.

Even if the politicians in Washington and Sacramento accept your 'apology' on the Marine flap, the fact remains that Berkeley is a 'sanctuary city,' giving safe haven to scores of illegal aliens who are breaking the laws of your country. For that reason alone you should lose your federal funding, even if you are granted a reprieve on the Marine insult.

With Berkeley insulting the U.S. Marines and San Francisco banning ROTC programs from their public schools, it there any doubt that much if not most of California is haven to the most extremist of the extreme, America-haters who detest everything we stand for, including our military, while at the same time expecting the protection of our military in the event of a major terrorist incident or an attack on the west coast?

As I have stated many times before, it is time for San Francisco and Berkeley to fend for themselves. If I were making the decisions, you would get NO protection from the U.S. military in the event of an attack, period. Since you obviously detest our soldiers with such a passion, let's see if you can passionately defend yourselves WITHOUT the rest of us having to put our lives on the line for a bunch of spoiled brats who never grow up but who complain constantly about America's strength in the world.

Berkeley can go to hell.

New G.I. Joe Symptomatic of a Growing Cancer

If Hollywood get its way, G.I. Joe will no longer be the toy symbol of the quintessential American hero--the U.S. Marine. A movie project is in the making that will remove G.I. Joe as the symbol of American military might and place him under an international special operations force in Brussels.

Paramount plans to turn 'G.I. Joe' into an acronym meaning 'Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity.'

Apparently Paramount is concerned about its international marketing ability should the new film glorify the American military.

But, of course, as supporters say, G.I. Joe is only a toy, right? It means nothing, actually.

Think again.

The new 'G.I. Joe' is a symptom of a growing cancer--that of degrading American patriotism in favor of a generic, international entity in which citizens are no longer citizens of the United States of America, but citizens of the 'universe,' or the 'global community,' or whatever the hell else the modern-day neo-Commies wish to call it.

G.I. Joe bears the face of a real American military hero by the name of Colonel Mitchell Paige, a World War II veteran. Paige had served in the Pacific theatre as one of the Marines the U.S. Navy dropped off to drive the Japanese off the island of Guadalcanal.

Paige lost 90 of his men during the battle. The Japanese lost over 2000 soldiers.

The citation for Paige's Metal of Honor reads, 'When the enemy broke through the line directly in front of his position, P/Sgt. Paige, commanding a machine gun section with fearless determination, continued to direct the fire of his gunners until all his men were either killed or wounded. Alone, against the deadly hail of Japanese shells, he fought with his gun and when it was destroyed, took over another, moving from gun to gun, never ceasing his withering fire.'

Hasbro Toys contacted Paige some years ago to request his permission to use his face on its G.I. Joe. Paige consented. And ever since, the toy soldier has born the image of one of the finest heroes in U.S. history.

Oh, and by the way, when Paige gave his consent to be the face of G.I. Joe, he stipulated that he would agree to the deal 'only as long as G.I. Joe remains a United States Marine.'

Paramount should be resoundingly condemned for planning such a desecration of a real American hero (Paige is now deceased). It is not the toy that counts. It is the man whose face G.I. Joe bears.

Once again, the creeping crawl of globalization is about to gobble up another piece of unique Americana. The United States of America is not about a North American Union, an 'Amero,' the U.N., or some European Union entity in Brussels. Those who push these ideas are one half-step away from being outright traitors.
