How long can we put up with this?
Subject: AMERICAN FLAG IN PHOENIX - NO AMERICANS OR VETS COULD DO ANYTHING
I don't know what this country is coming to---they can disgrace our flag, cut the heads off some
of our folks---etc. and as you read in the article they have protection from our police!!! But
just threaten to burn the Koran and the whole world falls to it knees---amazing---. We need to
stand up to all this crap!!! We need to change what is going on and the first step is to vote out
the current administration and vote some common sense folks into office!!! Vote this November!
Subject: AMERICAN FLAG IN PHOENIX - NO AMERICANS OR VETS COULD DO ANYTHING
You can listen to the crap coming out of Washington DC, or you can believe your eyes. This is what
this country and it's principles are being subjected to...
This photo was taken at a rally at the state capitol yesterday. The news will not show it and th
e Capitol Police and Homeland Security would not let Americans or any of the Veterans that were
there do anything about it.
My husband and his friends were threatened to be arrested and were told they would be booked under
federal charges if they did anything. I am sending this to you so that you in turn can start emailing
it to every one on your list. It is totally uncalled for and people need to see it.
This is not about politics and rhetoric, it is about a direct threat to our country. Those of you that
don't live in Arizona will maybe get a chance to see the other side of what the news is telling you. If
this offends you great, than I have truly accomplished what I set out to do.
I understand that sometimes we don't see eye to eye on certain things, but that is the right our
forefathers fought for. I am an American before I am anything else. For those of you who choose to
dismiss this. If you believe that this is okay I believe you are a traitor to this country and everything
it stands for.
I am not a racist and I am not a Nazi this has nothing to do with race, it has to do with respect to the
country that is continually taking you in and turning a blind eye to your agenda.
Homeland Security was designed to identify and defend America from Terrorist acts yet yesterday it let
illegal and legal citizens of this country desecrate the Flag. People were spitting on it, stomping
on it and burning it with cigarettes. One soldier who had just returned from Iraq tried to grab the
flag and was thrown to the ground by the Capitol Police and Homeland Security.
It amazes me how many people will stand against the American People while all the while prospering
from our system and our government.
Too those of you that will forward this to your friends I applaud you for the courage to stand up for
the country in which you live.
To those of you who delete this, there is always someplace else for you to go

What is torture?
Medal of Honor recipient Bud Day Speaks of Torture
I got shot down over N Vietnam in 1967, a Sqdn. Commander.
After I returned in 1973...I published 2 books that dealt a lot
with "real torture" in Hanoi . Our make- believe president is
branding our country as a bunch of torturers when he has
no idea what torture is.
As for me, I was put thru a mock execution because I would not respond...
pistol whipped on the head.....same event.. Couple of days later...
hung by my feet all day.. I escaped and a couple of weeks later, I got
shot and recaptured. Shot was OK...what happened afterwards was not.
They marched me to Vinh...put me in the rope trick, trick..almost
pulled my arms out of the sockets. Beat me on the head with a
little wooden rod until my eyes were swelled shut, and my unshot,
unbroken hand a pulp.
Next day hung me by the arms...rebroke my right wrist...wiped
out the nerves in my arms that control the hands.....rolled my fingers
up into a ball. Only left the slightest movement of my L forefinger.
So I started answering with some incredible lies.
Sent me to Hanoi strapped to a barrel of gas in the back of a truck.
Hanoi .on my knees....rope trick again.. Beaten by a big fool.
Put into leg irons on a bed in Heartbreak Hotel.
Much kneeling--hands up at Zoo.
Really bad beating for refusing to condemn Lyndon Johnson.
Several more kneeling events. I could see my knee bone thru
kneeling holes.
There was an escape from the annex to the Zoo. I was the Senior
Officer of a large building because of escape...they started a mass
torture of all commanders.
I think it was July 7, 1969...they started beating me with a car fanbelt.
In first 2 days I took over 300 strokes...then stopped counting
because I never thought I would live thru it.
They continued day-night torture to get me to confess to a non-existent
part in the escape. This went on for at least 3 days. On my knees...
fan belting...cut open my scrotum with fan belt stroke. opened up
both knee holes again. My fanny looked like hamburger...I could not
lie on my back.
They tortured me into admitting that I was in on the escape...and
that my 2 room-mates knew about it.
The next day I denied the lie.
They commenced torturing me again with 3- 6- or 9 strokes of
the fan belt every day from about July 11 or 12th..to 14 October
1969. I continued to refuse to lie about my roommates again.
Now, the point of this is that our make-believe
president has declared to the world that we (U.S..) are a bunch of
torturers...Thus it will be OK to torture us next time when they
catch us...because that is what the U.S. does.
Our make-believe president is a know nothing fool who thinks
that pouring a little water on some one's face, or hanging a pair of
women's pants over an Arabs head is TORTURE... He is a meathead.
I just talked to MOH holder Leo Thorsness, who was also in my squadron,
in jail...as was John McCain...and we agree that McCain does
not speak for the POW group when he claims that Al Gharib was
torture...or that "water boarding" is torture.
Our president and those fools around him who keep bad mouthing
our great country are a disgrace to the United States . Please pass
this info on to Sean Hannity. He is free to use it to point out the
stupidity of the claims that water boarding...which has no after
effect...is torture.
If it got the Arab to cough up the story about how he planned the attack on the twin towers in NYC ...
hurrah for the guy who poured the water.
