....sorry if this a long post but thought it appropriate here.Got this
in my in-box today....just sickining.... Barbara Walters said: Thank you all. Many died in Vietnam for our freedoms. I did not like Jane Fonda then and I don't like her now. She can lead her present life the way she wants and perhaps SHE can forget the past, but we DO NOT have to stand by without comment and see her "honored" as a "Woman of the Century." (I remember this well) For those who served and/or died. . . NEVER FORGIVE A TRAITOR. SHE REALLY WAS A TRAITOR!! And now President OBAMA wants to honor her......!!!! In Memory of LT. C.Thomsen Wieland who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton [Famous North Vietnam Prison] IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FORWARD THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW!!!!!! A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED. KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA This is for all the kids born in the 70's and after who do not remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear. Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the '100 Women of the Century.' BARBRA WALTERS WRITES: Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War. The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll , a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison the ' Hanoi Hilton .' Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American 'Peace Activist' the 'lenient and humane treatment' he'd received. He s pat at Ms. Fonda , was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward on to the camp Commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk. In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton. From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the ' Hanoi Hilton '...the first three of which his family only knew he was 'missing in action'. His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a 'peace delegation' visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: 'Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?' and 'Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?' Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. > She took them all without missing a beat.. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper... Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day. I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam , and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia ; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi . My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot , South Vietnam , whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs) We were Jane Fonda 's 'war criminals....' When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi , I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received... And how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as 'humane and lenient.' Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane. I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me. These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of '100 Years of Great Women.' Lest we forget....' 100 Years of Great Women' should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many pat riots. There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's partici pat ion in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can.. It will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that we will never forget. RONALD D. SAMPSON , CMSgt, USAF 716 Maintenance Squadron, Chief of Maintenance DSN: 875-6431 COMM : 883-6343 |

Here's yer list:
http://www.c-span.org/Events/2012-Pr...y/10737431012/ Madeleine Albright - 64th U.S. Secretary of State, the first woman to hold that position. Bob Dylan - Influential American musician. Pat Summitt - All-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history. And these people have what to do with freedom? Let's get to the bottom of it and call it the US Nobel Prize. ![]() Doesn't Obie have more pressing matters to attend to? Any excuse fer a party I guess. ![]()

I'm glad I took the time to read the list. I thought that Jane Fonda was getting a medal, and near had a stroke.

He doesn't have a sports team to honor at the present, and he has no idea how to run a country, so he does this to keep busy.

It sounds similar to the Queen's Honours list here in the UK. Every year the Queen is presented with a list of candidates to receive honours varying from Member of the British Empire to Knighthood and above. Many of the rewards are deserved, but it's now Sir Mick Jagger, Sir Elton John (because of their contributions to music), a few knights who bought their way in via political party contributions. It's a far cry from the honour it used to be, and the reasons for giving/receiving it. Ex prime ministers usually become barrons (or Barroness, in Margaret Thatcher's case) automatically regardless of performance in office, and automatically get a place for life in the House of Lords.
On the deserving side, one friend of mine received her Member of the British Empire award because of her very active role in the community during a particularly difficult time. Another got his because he was a Naval Commander during the Falklands War. |

bHo is loosing to Romney 58% to 34%, of Veterans votes.
Everything and anything your read, see or hear that has to do with that POS being behind it, is to try and prove to the vets how great a cnc he really is. Like the Kill List that came out today. He is personally choosing each and every person on our enemies list to kill. What a crock. Your angry now. You'll be a lot angrier before the election gets here, guaranteed.

Just like Obummer Care
