Mark's Rant # 4 Oct. 28, 2007 Hadji Girl and Woody Wilson

Subject: Mark's Rants issue 4 Circulation of about 3 more than The Charlotte Observer

This issue of Mark's rants includes a couple of guest contributors. Below is a passage from a book Bob Austin read. I'll rant after you read it. Further down the page is a video Kendall Polk sent to me. After reviewing it I found nothing objectionable and decided to include it along with another I found on the website.

Also attached for comedic relief, and to try and boost subscribers, is a very touching rendition of Hadji girl done by a brave marine in Iraq. Turn up your speakers and grab a box of tissue. Thank God they still have a sense of humor. Speaking of subscriber, we are growing at a rapid pace thanks to you forwarding by you) to like minded Americans. Why just last week Kendall invited his uncle to subscribe. We just haven't heard back yet.

Now for Bob's email:

Mark:

I always thought it interesting when someone says "I support the troops, not the war." That makes no sense. I just read a book called, "1920 The Year of Six Presidents" by David Pietrusza. There is a chapter in the book regarding Eugene Debs and his imprisonment for treason. He was a card carrying Socialist who promoted the ideas of the Russian revolution, and criticized Americas entry into World War I. He was convicted on 10 counts of sedition. Upon his entry in federal prison, many members of the Socialist Party petitioned Woodrow Wilson ( a very liberal Democrat ) to release him.

Wilson's response was ...."I will never consent to the pardon of this man". In addition, he said....

"While the flower of American youth was pouring out its blood to vindicate the cause of civilization, this man, Debs, stood behind the lines, sniping, attacking, and denouncing them. Before the war, he had a perfect right to exercise his freedom of speech and to express his own opinion, but once the Congress...declared war, silence on his part would have been the proper course to pursue. I know there will be a great deal of denunciation of me for refusing this pardon. They will say I am cold-blooded and indifferent, but it will make no impression on me. This man is a traitor to his country and he will never be pardoned during my administration."

Mark Rants: This week will be short and sweet. It's a damn good thing Woody is still not President or he would imprison over half the US Senate and all the candidates for President from the Democratic Party and one from the Republican Party. He would also imprison that impostor Republican from NC District 3 Congressman Freedom Fry (aka Walter "Chicken Strip" Jones). If you need to refer back to issue 3 for names, be my guest. Old Woody was pretty tough for a Lib. My...... how times and Libs have changed.

By the way Congressman Chicken Strip never responded to my message to his website concerning his absolute cowardly and stupid response to the Rush Limbaugh letter by Senator Harry "Surrender" Reid. I am still pretty sure why he didn't make it as a boxer.
