THE STATUE

This statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4th Infantry division. It will eventually be shipped home and put in the memorial museum in Fort Hood , Texas

The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named Kalat, who for years was forced by Saddam Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad

Kalat was so grateful for the Americans liberation of his country; he melted 3 of the heads of the fallen Saddam and made the statue as a memorial to the American soldiers and their fallen warriors

Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.

To the left of the kneeling soldier is a small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.

Do you know why we don't hear about this in the news? Because it is heart warming and praise worthy..

The media avoids it because it does not have the shock effect.

Light of the Messiah?

Here come the scare words: Communist, Marxist, Socialist. Still can't see what "rights" he's trampled on?
Well... how about government takeover of banks, financial institutions, auto companies and the health care industry?
How about forcing people to buy health insurance and fining them if they don't, and putting them in jail if they don't pay the fine? How about a "health care reform" law that will tell you how much health care you can have, and portion it out according to if you're worthy of care?
How about massive taxes on energy, and trying to force people to stop using energy?
How about trying to force coal companies out of business?
How about an energy "smart grid" that will monitor your energy usage and cut you off if you use too much?
How about giving up our national sovereignty to control by the UN and third world countries to redistribute U.S. wealth by the proposed global cap and trade scheme?
How about bringing the mastermind of 9/11 to New York federal court for civilian criminal trial? How about refusal to recognize the Fort Hood massacre as Islamic jihad?
How about the Declaration of Independence declared God-given natural rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" that are being trampled on daily by a "communist, marxist, socialist" oligarchy headed by Obama?
Is that enough light, or are you still blinded by the light of your messiah?

If you participate in a system
that oppresses and destroys,
sometimes people hit back,
and when they do
its considered a tragedy.

Patriot's Dreams

Arlo Guthrie
"Living now, here but for fortune
placed by faith's mysterious schemes
Who'd believe that we're the ones asked
to try to rekindle the Patriot's Dreams

Arise sweet destiny time runs short
all of your patience has heard their retort,
hear us now, for alone we can't seem
to try to rekindle the Patriot's Dreams

Can you hear the words being whispered
all along the American stream,
tyrants freed and the just are imprisoned
Try to rekindle the Patriot's Dreams
But perhaps too much is being asked of too few,
you and your children with nothing to do,
hear us now, for alone we can't seem
to try to rekindle the Patriot's Dreams."
