Meryl -

 Call the "self-hating Jews" what they were called in WWII: capo

  -ls

Actually, I refer to "self-hating Jews" as "Self-loving Jews" - ie - with the emphasis on "self" rather that "Jew". I really don't think these people hate themselves in any way. In fact, they're so impressed with themselves, they're willing to turn their backs on their increasingly beleaguered brethren. Any Jew worthy of using that name should be able to detect the acrid whiff of centuries-old calumnies in "pro-peace" and anti-Zionist rhetoric.

Thanks to all at SSN for another superb show!!

Hello from Baghdad.

While I'm downloading the interview with Cucullu at 5Kbs....

I and a Vietnam vet friend of mine have launched a new site, AppealForCourage.org which allows active duty military to (legally) tell Congress and the media that they should support our mission, and that their criticism does hurt our morale while emboldening our enemies.

  This site is partly in response to the far left site AppealForRedress. You may have heard of it, it was created by a big money group and presented by the media as a grass-roots anti-military uprising. We don't have any money for advertising, and I don't expect the media to help.   

 So I’m currently emailing/pasting this message to various military-friendly sites and news organizations to publicize the Appeal, as time allows.  Any support you could offer to get the word out would be greatly appreciated.  If the troops have a say, I think we could get thousands of signatures and have an impact at this crucial juncture in the war.

  Thank-you for your time.

Jason,

We'll do all we can to help get the word out. Thanks for listening, and thank you for doing what you're doing out there.

Another Great Podcast Shire Network News!

Points so well made, and I enjoy the wit and humor. Bravo!

Your interview with US Special Forces Lt. Colonel Gordon was very interesting.  I have an answer for him:  The Left cares more about their own partisan political advantage than the welfare of our nation, citizens, and military.  Sedition and Treason is alive and well, including active participation of American Citzens in the propaganda of our enemies.  "Hanoi Jane" may be a posterchild of this effort by the Left but there are many others that provide aid and comfort to our enemies without hesitation or remorse.

I believe that the troops of today enjoy much better support from the military than during the Vietnam era.  The animosity to those that served their country during the Vietnam era can be exemplified by the Left demonstrating active distain and insult at every opportunity, attacking decorated Veterans with cow's blood, and can be best imaged by activitists urinating on the spit-shined boots of Airborne Infantry soldiers called upon when they were attempting to overrun the Pentagon.  To this day those Airborne soldiers should be commended for not ripping the protestors heads off before they knew what happened under such extreme insult and abuse.

America is not the nation of our forefathers because of our single biggest weakness:  The Left and their control over most components of the Mainstream Media.  Until we have major disasters and the Left looses support America will show weakness that our enemies will take advantage of.  I do not believe their is an alternative to major disasters to galvanzie the American will to fight by diminishing the influence of the Left.

Bravo Shire Network News for discussing this single biggest weakness in the United States.  Recognizing the decay and weakness the Left brings with them is one of the most important things that can be done to couter the Islamofacist.
