Nobody Knows that tonight I watched the movie, "We Were Soldiers" on TV again, and I thought about the first time I approached the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C.. (see picture) I was with a tour group, and as you approach the wall, you aren't thinking much...every memorial is pretty much the same, until you turn around, and read...the
names.
And then, you look...to the right...to the left...and the names are very small and go on...forever, and then...it hits you...and you cry. At least I did. In fact, I had a hard time stopping. (I was the only one on the tour that did...and I was ashamed at that...but there you go)
All those men died in Vietman... 58,000, and...for what? All those mothers without a son. Every single name on that wall reminded you how wonderful and precious is the honor of our men. I was so upset at the realization...of so MANY that gave their lives, that by the time the tour got to the last stop, Arlington National Cemetery...I had developed such a bad case of nerves and stomach pain, I asked the tour guide to return me immediately back to the White House and drop me off. Seeing Arlington's graves would had done me in emotionally.
It's one thing to know the facts, that our men have died in so many wars to protect our American ideas-- but it's quite another to see every one of them right before your eyes.
As the end of that great movie came, I was thinking just how wronged Mel Gibson has been trashed. Sure, he lashed out at a woman who he thought loved him, in a very repulsive way...but what we were listening to should have been between two people. To air every single word was simply...just as disgusting on her part. There was no need for it.
Mel Gibson at least deserves in his life, our respect for his very great movies. In Braveheart, he honored the concept of 'freedom". In Patriot, he gave our ideals of an American Nation a great honor in the story, and at a time when we were realizing we were losing what our founders fought for. Boy, we really needed it at the time.
In, We Were Solders, he told of the bravery of our boys in combat in Vietman...and how they gave their lives, simply because their country ask them too. Mel Gibson...has HONROED America, many times over, unlike Clooney, and all the movies being made about how our boys in Iraq are baby killers, and all the crap we see--- movies knocking America at every turn....and now, millions all over the world will disregard Mel's great work, and for what? Because they made SUCH a big deal out of it some revenge of some gold-digger?
He wanted "sex" and she didn't?
Uh..whole Muslim Nations treat their women MUCH worse than Mel Gibson, and yet, we don't care? Where is the hypocracy here?
Muslim women are actaully really beaten, imprisoned, raped, stoned, and treated like cattle....and yet the movie stars go to Dubai and have sex? Our President bows to thier King? What's wrong with this picture?
After thinking about all those men who gave their lives ro America, I was thinking...Mel Gibson is a regular SAINT compared to the imposture in the White House:
1. A man who claimed he was Christian to get into the White House, but who is by all accounts and actions, a Muslim....he lied. He now says we are not a "Christian" nation.
2. A man who has pushed "National Health Care" into our great country, which will basically kill millions of people. A bureaucrat will now decide if our sick lives are worth anything.
3. A man who bankrupts the country...in order to turn us into a communist nation. Who divides the races at every opportunity.
4. A man who attacks all our allies...and dismantles the constitution, A man who attacks his very own citizens.
5. A man who once could not even salute the flag. The flag...that all the man on that wall died for...and all the men in Arlington gave their lives. That one act alone, makes him unfit to command.
I'll say it again...that one act alone makes him unfit to command. I don't care if he salutes now...he does it now to protect himself. He does it to disarm and fool...he a fraud. Obama is no more American than Oliver Stone.
6. A man who makes himself King, and is taking over all our businesses, our lives, and our wealth, in order to redistribute it to whomever he wants.
7. A man who will continue our endless wars, and make them bigger. He almost welcomes an attack for his own gain.
So tell me, who is the better man? Mel Gibson or Barack Obama? Who commits the worst crimes against humanity?
The differnece between the two is almost laughable. Mel had a bad personl nightmare...you will get over it. Obama...is a holocaust---you will not get over it, nor will your children.
I hope Mel continues to make his very patriotic movies. And I would, if I could, say this: "Mel...I'm so sorry you have such a weakness for beautiful women...but, get up, apologize to women all over the world, tell us you were wrong...you were a jerk....you were thinking with the wrong head...it's not the first time great men have lost it to beautiful women....and let it go. If you believe in God's forgiveness, so do the rest of us. Mel.. please.....go back to work. We need you now...more than ever."
