Some died in well known battles. Some in lesser known. Many died in places whose names are known to all. Others in places we have never heard of or on nameless plots of ground. Many were returned home. Many were not. Some were lost for all time and some remain…missing.

They died in faraway places. Germany, France, North Africa. They died in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan. They died on Pacific islands and many more places too numerous to mention.

Some lost their lives on hills. San Juan, Hamburger, 881, Porkchop.

Some lost their lives on beaches. Omaha, Sword, Juno, Gold and others we may have never heard of and some we have.

They died in forests, cities, mountains, swamps, rice paddies, deserts and trenches too.

Many died here at home.

The Revolutionary War. The War of 1812. The Civil War.

Some died in the air. Some died at sea.

Some died in places that were never talked about on missions never officially sanctioned.

Many volunteered to go and many didn’t but, they went. All of them went.

Freedom to Serve a Different Master?

Posted on May 11, 2012 by

The Constitution spelled it out. Although it wasn’t true at the time, as Black Americans were not treated equally, it clearly stated:  ”All Men Are Created Equal.”

It would take a civil war to set free those who were slaves. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died in that war. Some to maintain the status quo, others to provide the freedom spelled out in the Constitution. Those who fought for and died for the North did so to ensure freedom for those who didn’t have it before.

Most, not all, who fought for freedom, were white.

Those in the south, after the fight was done, fought on, politically to keep those set free from being free.

Is the N.A.A.C.P. a Democrat Party Organization?

Posted on May 7, 2012 by

By Stacy M. Swimp

MICHIGAN, May 7th, 2012 — The NAACP recently released their Annual Report Card The N.A.A.C.P.’s 112th Annual Report Card is a confirmation of its bias towards the Democratic Party. for the first session of the 112th Congress. The “civil rights” organization gave every Republican member of the U.S. Congress and U.S. Senate a resounding “F” on what the group says are key issues of concern to Black Americans.

Among those issues are funding for health care reform,  judicial nominations, deep budget cuts, job creation, and criminal justice reform.

The NAACP alleges to be a “non-partisan” civil rights organization.

For clarity, that means they claim to have absolutely no party affiliation, bias, or designation. However, when one examines their Report Card for the 112th Congress, it becomes quite clear that they are decidedly pro-Democrat.

Moreover, contrary to their propaganda, they are overwhelmingly anti-constitution, which gives substance to all alleged civil rights legislation.

Unalienable rights are those which God gave to man upon our creation. This fundamental truth is declared in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the U.S. Constitution. In effect, the government is designed to protect our God given rights. Not government given rights.

Did President Obama malign Right to Work Laws?

Posted on May 3, 2012 by

By Stacy M. Swimp

MICHIGAN, May 2, 2012  - On April 30th, President Obama spoke at the Building and Construction Trades Department Legislative Conference.

In his speech, he expressed that “Right to Work Laws are intended to bar unions from requiring prospective employees to join as a precondition for being hired”. President Obama also alleged that “Right to Work means the right to work for less and less”.

Finally, the President falsely claims that “Right to Work advocates want to end the collective-bargaining rights.”

“Right-to-Work” laws merely seek to prevent “union security” agreements — or contract provisions between union officials and employers making membership or payment of union dues or fees a mandatory condition of employment.

In effect, Right to Work Laws seek to provide every American worker a choice. If a worker wants to join a union, he or she ought to have that right. If a worker does not want to join a union, that worker should not be forced against his or her will to do so. Moreover, that worker should not face any form of discrimination as a result of deciding not to join a union.

Project 21′ s Stacy Swimp on May Day Protests: Civil Disobedience or Uncivil Chaos?

Posted on May 1, 2012 by

Project 21 spokesman Stacy Swimpput together these comments about the radical celebration of May Day and the contradictions in their words and acts:

Protesters, many aligned with the Occupy Wall Street movement, seek to disrupt American business today in observance of International Workers’ Day (May Day).

Banks in Manhattan received suspicious (albeit non-toxic) powder in envelopes.  Businesses were vandalized.  Threats to disrupt commuters have been made.

Stacy Washington, a member of the Project 21 black leadership network, says: “The protest plan is to have major nationwide action on May Day to disrupt normal, everyday activities.  It’s attention-seeking behavior at its worst.  Like children throwing a tantrum, they should be ignored.  Without a clear goal, or objective, Occupy protesters are a constant reminder of just what this country does not stand for: rape, destruction of private and public property, filth, violence and disrespect for the American way.”
