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.

N.Y. OUTRAGE! ILLEGALS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE!

Washington, DC (TLS). Immigration activists and Leftwing politicians in New York are pushing a law that would allow illegal aliens to vote in municipal elections in the Big Apple. Apparently the Leftists are not satisfied that they presently gain the majority of the vote in NYC. Most residents already vote for Liberal Democrats.

Apparently, to the immigration activists and ultra-Leftwing faithful of the Democrat Party, this is not enough. They must solidify any gains they have made by allowing 'noncitizens,' i.e., ILLEGAL ALIENS, to vote in city elections.

If the mere concept itself isn't enough to incite outrage among legal voters, note the following statement made by activist Cheryl Wertz, of New Immigration Community Empowerment: "More than 50,000 adult noncitizen taxpayers in those two districts are disenfranchised by citizenship voting laws," referring to last week's special election for council seats in Brooklyn and Staten Island.

Perhaps Ms. Wertz should be reminded that there are no provisions in the Constitution allowing non-citizens to vote. It is not only advisable but prudent that only U.S. citizens be allowed to vote in our elections. If not, then why not simply send ballots to Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Iran, and let them vote?

Of course, I am sure Ms. Wertz would be all for that, given that terrorists overseas favor Democrats being elected to office here. All of them publicly endorsed Democrats in the 2006 election cycle.

And while we're at it, why not let France, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, and Egypt vote in the next U.S. Presidential election? Just think of how easily the Democrat will sail into the White House if we would simply open up our elections to the world. After all, we would not want anyone to feel 'disenfranchised' in Malaysia.

Councilman Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn) is the primary sponsor of the so-called 'Voting Rights Restoration Act.'

Excuse me, Councilman, but according to the U.S. Constitution, only legal U.S. citizens have the right to vote in this country.

The actions of these loony tunes in New York City should be an outrage to any American who supports the rule of Constitutional law in this country. The Constitution grants voting rights to CITIZENS and not to illegal aliens.

Yet, once again, we see the outlandish and complete imbecilic attempts of the Left to subvert the U.S. Constitution and allow a coup of the nation by law-breaking illegals who don't even have the common decency to come here legally and go through the proper procedures to become citizens. This blatant attempt to circumvent Constitutional law on the part of elected officials should be enough to have them arrested immediately.

They are traitors.

But this, my friends, is the state of the Democrat Party in America today. The Party is nothing more than a haven for every wacko, loony-tunes, off-the-wall extremist in the nation.

Remember that in 2008.
