70 years….

Yesterday, December 7, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that nation, and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.

Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And, while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya.
Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.
Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam.
Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.
Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island.
And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has therefore undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense, that always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.

I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again...

On September the 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country. Americans have known wars -- but for the past 136 years, they have been wars on foreign soil, except for one Sunday in 1941.

NEVER AGAIN!

Stay vigilant…

We cannot hide. We must fight with a morally acceptable economy not one of greed and avarice, we must fight with cultural sensitivity and intelligent response, we must be prepared with a capable military, we must use diplomacy informed by history, anthropology, technology, geography.

A Day that will live in INFAMY… don’t EVER forget.

In a recent article about the 20th Anniversary of Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” a journalist wrote, and I quote:

Teenagers the world over let their hair fall in lank locks over their chequered lumberjack shirts, dreaming of Seattle, capital of Washington state and the cradle of the movement.

Uhmm…. Last I checked the capital of Washington State is Olympia…

With tripe like this online, no wonder the world is full of idiots these days.

I have seen the future of the Internet

Happy Independence Day, U.S.A!!!

Mosh Pit Matt — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 01:54:59 +0000

I’m living among a stack of boxes, so posting has been a bit tricky. When I finally get the place habitable, I’ll show pics. But, until then.

Let me post a quote about independence day that I often think about. It was from one of my all-time favorite patriots, Thomas Paine. You know him, he’s the guy who wrote this little book that everyone alive could benefit from reading. Published in 1776, it was called Common Sense… Something severely lacking in today’s world.

A guy with common sense.

“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”

Amen…

There are many ways to support freedom. This 4th, think about what you can do to support freedom and make the world a better place for all… where all are created equal, and endowed with the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Rock on USA

God Bless America!!!

I’m not one to celebrate the death of another human being, but since I’m not sure this individual counted as human I will simply say:….

Game Over

Please do not bother to insert coin… you cannot continue.

Good Riddance.

But Remember, this struggle has gone on almost twice as long as WWII, and Hitler Killed himself a month before VE day… and they weren’t fighting a wide-spread, dispersed insurgency in hostile terrain and politically unstable territory… This war on terror is not “over” or “won.” But, the unifying force of Bin Laden as leader is no longer a factor. With such loss can come division. Many smaller things are more time consuming to defeat, but less of a threat. We can only hope that what we did was, in fact, not just a symbolic feat, but a strategic one as well.

Pray for peace. Prepare for war.
