Credo
"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
"Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas
"Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex
Amen, Lex.
Amen.
Of course, to them it makes some kind of sense to do something so senseless.
How foul these people are! And they are probably congratulating themselves on how brave they are too.
Disgusting.
I am sickened and disheartened. While it is true that this is a country where you are free to express your opinion (so many of us have sacrificed so much for this freedom!), there is just no way to justify this as anything but pure immature, misguided, idiocy. Somebody thought they were making a statement, or thought they were being funny but unfortunately all they were doing was being disrespectful. If you did this to express a political point of view… you’ve failed miserably. Very very few people will ever take you seriously after acts like these. If you did it on a lark, you should seek counseling. If you did it in anger, I pity you. Bastards.
I ought to track down the photos from the opposite, a bunch of your guys restored a Commonwealth War Grave in Iraq. Perhaps a flight deck post.
You know where the kids get this stuff. Cut funding to the Universities? Deunionize the public schools and make teachers accountable to their tax paying ‘employers’? Do a Rudolf Giuliani on scofflaws?
Can’t be bothered. People might consider me antisocial (or boring) . Might wonder if I am off my meds.
Lex, This is so wrong, I do not have the “acceptable” vocabulary to express it. -Grumpy
Spray paint on an Islamic shrine = hate crime. Deface this war memorial = boring to MSM and their ilk. After all. the Vietnam was soooo long ago — longer by five than the 9/11 attacks, and should not let that day bother us any longer.
It’s time to move on, so they would have us say.
Did I mention? Norman Hsu is no story either.
I only hope this story gets the traction it deserves. Sorry, it appears as though the SoComs (Socialist/Comunists) are mounting another offensive.

SJBill – you are SO right! It would be all over the MSM if a Mosque or other Islamically designated holy area/site was so much as spit on. Is there nothing sacred in the U.S. anymore? Are we just a giant punching bag for the moonbats to use at their will?
I just realized that this happened to the Wall on Friday. Why are we just now hearing about this on Thursday? I admit to being a fair news junky, and this is the first I’ve seen of it. No police report was filed? That smacks of something bigger — don’t know what, though.
Our Park Service needs to step it up if this is going to be the new norm. They need to be doing more that they are, whatever that might entail.
I’ll be up at 1 am Saturday Sept 15 to catch a 3 am bus to DC to add my modest presence to GOE III. Never been to a political event in my life. Should be an interesting day.
The idiots are getting much more than “frisky.” Just this morning I witnessed, live and in color (ugh), a Code Pink disruption of a Heritage Foundation seminar being broadcast on C-SPAN. It went on (quite literally) for at least seven minutes, or until security personnel could remove the idiots from the room. And, about 20 minutes or so later, yet ANOTHER Code Pink woman stormed the dais and commandeered the seminar, drowning out the participants with various shouts of “war crimes!” and the like.
It could get VERY, VERY ugly when one side of the “debate” shows absolutely no restraint whatsoever and believes “the ends justify the means.” There will be violence, I’m afraid.
I think the Code Pinkies are going to make the presidential race very interesting. I don’t know of any of these Beyotches that consider themselves to be Republicans. The Maenad Storm Troopers just may well destroy it for Hillary, hte presumed candidate.
