Never, Ever Give Up
If you are not familiar with the story of Kevin Kammerdiener and his trek into the Army and Afghanistan and back you are missing an important one. Kevin was injured by a suicide attack on his convoy and his single mom (Leslie Kamm) had started this blog prior to his deployment. I have linked this to the beginning page as the whole thing should be read in chronological order starting 24th February 2008. So you'll have to read from the bottom up to get it in the appropriate chronological order. It is a journal detailing everything from attending his Airborne jump class and graduation to receiving the news of his injuries through present day struggles and progress in recovery. This is an important story being lived by thousands of our brave men and women and their families and rarely told via the major media outlets. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this very uncommon journal of very common stories of our military volunteers' and their families' sacrifices for our freedom and security. It is a journey you will not want to miss.
For those with shorter attention spans, this video relates visually the modus operendi of the survivor mentality. When the worst thing you can imagine has happened and there is nothing left but the consequences, you can either give in and let your life pass before your eyes, or you can take whatever options left available to you and do with them what you can. You might be amazed at how well you come out of it. In other words, sitting their like a victim and letting the inevitable happen ensures your victimhood. Fight it! Fight it to the bitter end and write your own destiny for as long as you possibly can. You can always deal with the victimhood after the opportunity to fight is passed.
Equally, we have to keep up the message to the political leaders to do their jobs and keep us safe from threats foreign and domestic. I am speaking specifically of the Islamization of our culture and government as well as the obvious defense against Islamo-Nazi terrorist attacks. I have demonstrated in earlier posts the invasive and dominating nature of Islam into other cultures. This is not just a religion as Christianity and Judaism and hundreds of others. This is a theocratic political system of governance forcing its will on the host states. The only reason they get traction in the Western world is because the Western world is divided between those who would force any tolerance except religion and those who have actual tolerance toward other lifestyles and religions. This one religion is being opposed by the peace loving religions because it has a record, a history of intolerance toward any other religion or world view. But, with the main stream religious world view opposing both the Islamic invasion and the anti-tolerant tolerance squad, they have joined forces to oppose the majority values voters in the party of defeat. The party who wanted to withdraw from the fight we are winning and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Bear in mind that we are still the main stream world view in this country. The defense of family values proves that. Unfortunately the loss of the presidential election was more about answering charges of racism than about the answer to current issues both nationally and internationally.
We have to stay involved in the fight for our values and for the defense of this nation and the ideals of her founding fathers. We must be focused on this fight for a while, until those forces which would tear them down are convinced it is a losing battle, or we will lose the rights to say what we believe, to live what we believe, and to protect those ideals through the courts and legislature. May God bless America under the original ideals of liberty, e pluribus unum, (from many, one) and In God We Trust. Don't let the sacrifices of our military volunteers like Kevin Kammerdiener and their families be in vain. If you are active, stay active. If you are not active in the defense of those founding ideals, get active. If you are tired of the fight, take a vacation and gather your wits, but never, ever give up.

I think this, too, falls under "abomination that maketh desolation."
Great bit Judge, and great link Judy, now I'm angry again, but anger is a motivator ... keep up the good work all, we cannot afford to lose this war or in the words of the NASA flight operations manager.... "Failure is not an option"
