Point of Information here: Some things don't change.
Like... permitting anti-War Leftists to disrespect our enlisted men and women by marching in the Annual Veterans Day Parade. (As well as new participants we didn't expect to see in a "Death Car" )
Why aren't they told to march in their own parade?
The parade requires those who wish to walk to submit profiles that say they will not be political.
Looking at the signs and street theatre coffins from 2007 (this isn't political?)
And 20010, we noticed the addition of a VERY POLITICAL black 'Death Car".
They yelled something in Arabic...smiling...
Makes us wonder... IVAW, Granny "Peace " Brigade , Code Pinkos: What's Up, America?
This is like having Democrats join a Republican club...like have Muslims join a synagogue ...like.... helping the Franken-Monster become a Senator with all those hidden ballots (that popped-up in trunks and closets.)
Even though the Reviewing Stand ignored these Seditionists, our familes had to suffer through "Troops Home Now. Troops Home Now".
Disgusting.
Wonder if we'd be permitted to march in protest in a Anti-War or pro-"Pali" parade. Most assuredly the police etc etc (even the Mayor) would boom-forth with a resounding "NO Dice!"
Some bridges go only one-way and this bridge isn't looking so good....
Video and pictures of our Troops and Families will be posted next.

November 2, 2010. New York City....Election Day....And it's politics as usual. ......So we had some fun Election Day as we caught the union tools electioneering within in 100 feet of the polls in mid-town Manhattan.
NYC unions and Workers Party "tools" came out to play...
.. We kept finding them ignoring the 'not with-in' 100 feet law.
.. So we notified the police at three polling places. They played-dumb and then 'moved-on' when the police showed up... .. Just to resurface close-by (of course)....
however...
Found lots of their election pamphlets in the trash. Sometimes piles of them.
..
Guess some of those 'workers' didn't feel like doing their 'job' ..
A new documentary from Christian Action Network
(producers of "HOMEGROWN JIHAD" and "ISLAM RISING ".)
"If this mosque is built,
it will be like 9-11 all over again
for the families."
We attended a special evening, a private screening of a new documentary by the Christian Action Network. Present were the survivors, the families and friends of those murdered on 9-11 who had gathered to see the finished film, Sacrificed Survivors: The Untold Story of the Ground Zero Mosque, for the first time.
I was particularly struck by the silence in the room as the video ended. It had just concluded with a painfully, beautiful song and the pictures of the children murdered that day.
The pain and loss is still huge.
In the video we heard from survivors. They shared the loss of their murdered loved-ones, murdered by Militant Islamists. We also heard from activists like Robert Spencer, as well as the families.
They warned against the building of the Victory Mega-Mosque at Ground Zero, a towering sign of victory for the Islamic Terrorists.
It is an outrage that nine years later these families pleas are being ignored as they suffer even more the insult of having their Ground Zero Memorial buried SEVEN stories under-ground.
Yet, Imam Rauf is urged-on by Mayor Bloomberg and Obama to build a 15 story Mega- Mosque on the graves of their loved ones.
All of this in spite of two major Ground Zero Rallies against this Mega-Mosque (hosted by SIOA) on June 6, 2010 and on 9-11, 2010 that gave voice to these families. They spoke so eloquently; passionately....
Yet, they continue to be ignored!
Adding to their pain is the knowledge that amongst those murdered on 9-11, the men and women who held a rank on that horrid day, retired and active-duty, these heroes will be denied the honor of having their ranks listed before their name on the 9-11 Memorial at Ground Zero.
It’s wrong. ALL of this is just plain wrong.
The growing disrespect shown these families by our elected officials and their willingness to see a Mega-Mosque built at Ground Zero is compounded by the Victory Memorial at Shanksville, Pennsylania
It must be stopped. All of it.
To be a realist is not to be an Islamaphobe. The Stealth-Jihad is in full-swing. Stop Sharia Law. Stop the Mega-Mosque at Ground Zero.
Join groups like Stop The Islamization of America (SIOA) and as you educate yourself you can educate your family and friends; your schools and elected officials.
And plan a screening at your local library, at your church or synagogue. You can purchase a copy of Sacrificed Survivors HERE
Passing through Times Square, saw the type of commotion at the recruitment Station that usually indicates the Code Pinkos and Grannies for Peace are protesting our men and women in uniform. Checked it out and found this instead: Dan Choi making a display of re-enlisting for the press....

Choi, 29, a lieutenant discharged earlier this year because he is gay, kept supporters updated through Twitter on his progress through the army enlistment process.
Gay campaigner Dan Choi among first to try to re-enlist after Pentagon move to end 'don't ask, don't tell' policy
After completing a basic skills test today, Choi wrote that he had missed only three verbal questions and five of the maths ones. He added triumphantly: "I passed."
Choi went to the recruitment office in Times Square, New York, this morning after a visit yesterday to declare he was gay and to inform them he planned to re-enlist in the wake of a federal court ruling confirming existing Pentagon policy on gays was illegal.
Legislation at present says gay people can serve in the military but not openly. If they admit publicly they are gay or are outed, they face being discharged. Choi, who saw combat in Iraq, came out in March on a US television show.
After his initial stop at the recruiting centre yesterday he said: "Apparently I'm too old for the marines. Just filled out the army application." He added: "A week ago I would be turned away. Today was very different. I was very excited. They are processing it."
Choi said he refused to lie on his army application. He wrote on the form: "I was discharged in 7/2010 from the US [army] because I told the truth about my sexual orientation and refused to lie about my cherished and loved partner."
Elsewhere, the response was mixed, with some enlistment centres saying the Pentagon had not informed them of a change in policy.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Guess it all depends on the meaning of "is" is cause....
One Day you're "OUT" actually means Next day : You're IN
On October 7, 2010 "Temple University Purpose) invited Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller to speak to their fellow students.
The topics they were asked to address were: " Is there an inextricable relationship between the Ground Zero Mosque and radical Islam? Its construction is constitutional, but is it right, insensitive? Is our Constitution being prostituted? Is the mosque location neither accidental nor a provocation of something greater?" was followed by a spirited and informative Q and A
The Socialists on-campus (and beyond) attempted to shut-down free-speech as Geller and Spencer lead the evening's discussions regarding Islam ,the Ground Zero Mosque and sharia law
Seems not everyone protesting was a student...
But Geller and Spencer, the student leaders of TU Purpose went forward and spoke calmly and honestly. Free-Speech was the winner, NOT these tired and predictable soc/commie/"progressives"
Part 1 - Pamela Geller
Part 2 Robert Spencer
Part 3 is first half of the Q and A
Part 4 is second half of the Q and A with a short tag at the end of some post 'dialogue' with socialist-spouting students in the audience.
Also, a short video of the tedious Socialists who were protesting Geller and Spencer outside , having refused the invitation to attend the event.
And excerpts of the introductory remarks from two of the students representing TU Purpose, Alvaro Watson and Tyrone Penserga
