It's been a long walk home

“IT’S BEEN A LONG WALK HOME”

It’s been a long walk home, I’m almost there,

I see that flash, I hear that scream,

I’m right back there agin*,

lost in that same damn firefight,

It’s been forty years,

When will it end?

Every night it’s that same damn firefight,

We lost Sam and Bill,

Tag’em* and bag’em*,

we were told,

we’d* never seen em* agin*,

but every night, it’s their faces that I see,

and I ask myself why wasn’t it me,

my name should be etched in that cold black wall of stone,

It’s been a long walk home,

I’m almost there,

But I hear that chopper so near,

Raining tracers down,

Can’t they see us here?

Marine down, corpsman up,

But silence is all I hear,

Why am I the only one left,

Screaming GOD get me outa* here?

It’s been forty years,

I still see that day,

We were almost there,

The edge of the jungle,

I see that flash, I hear that scream,

Tag’em* n bag’em* the list goes on,

To many to remember,

It was their last firefight,

I’m the only one left,

Lost and running looking for my way out.

It’s been a long walk home,

My family, don’t understand

When I say that this can’t be real

Just let me wake up one time and this not be,

But it’s that same damn firefight every night,

I wake up shaking like a leaf in the wind,

Tell’n my wife that it was just a chill,

Not that rage to kill,

But she sees it in my eyes,

That same damn firefight,

It’s been a long walk home I’m almost there,

I was telling her good-bye,

When she realized I didn’t fear death anymore,

It was my life I was about to take,

She cried out for me to come out of that jungle, out into the daylight,

Think of the kids and what this would do,

She took me by the hand helping me make that first step,

Coming out of that jungle into the daylight,

It’s been a long walk home,

Forty years and I’m almost there,

I see that flash, I hear that scream,

but this time it’s a younger brother yelling out,

trying to find his way out into the daylight,

Out of that smoky fog of that same damn firefight,

It’s been forty years for me,

I see that flash, I hear that scream,

It’s their pain that I feel,

Knowing that this damn firefight is not real,

I’m here to help lead my younger brothers out,

Not to walk forty years as I,

Lost in that same damn firefight of PTSD!

the definition of an infidel

Subject: A Must READ --- True Story

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.  The man who walks with God always gets to his destination.  If you have a pulse you have a  purpose. The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita in the United States , especially in the minority races!!! Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance.  During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their beliefs. I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say.  The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked: 'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven.  If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?' There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, 'Non-believers!' I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight.  All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven..  Is that correct?' The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar..' He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.' I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!' The Imam was speechless! I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:  Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?' You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame. Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the Diversification training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs. In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the  U.S.  to elect the President! I think everyone in the  U.S.  should be required to read this, but with ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us send it on! This is your chance to make a difference...

Subject: Dhimmitude???

  LOOK IT UP,  Subject:  Dhimmitude, see for yourself.

VERY INTERESTING READ !!!  WORTH THE COUPLE OF MINUTES. MAKES YOUR BLOOD BOIL !!

Did you know this was in the health care bill?  I didn't.  This word is not in my RANDON HOUSE COLLEGE DICTIONARY.  So therefore Google for information....Interesting....
   Dhimmitud:
 Word of the Day: Dhimmitude  
 *Has anyone heard of this word? Dhimmitude? *
                                *Unbelievable *
                                *I had my doubts so I checked with Snopes. There is an exemption for "certain religious groups" in the Health Care Bill. Obama supporters especially, check it out for yourselves. *
                                *Never heard the word before?---Try typing it into Google and start reading. Pretty interesting.  



                                *Never heard the word before?---Try typing it into Google and start reading. Pretty interesting.
                            
                                *It seems that Muslims and certain other religions are exempt from the ObamaCare penalties, and their exemptions are _supported by law_. We are surrendering from within! The prez is leading us right down the path to total Muslim control and most of us don't give a rat's patootie! Maybe we voted for him in good faith, but now yet another "truth" comes out. Perhaps we should rethink what we have done. *
                                *Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling non-Muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically, it is the TAXING of non-Muslims in exchange for _tolerating their presence_ AND as a coercive means of converting conquered remnants to Islam.
                                *
                                *The ObamaCare bill is the first step in the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States Muslims may be not only specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase health insurance, but exempted also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Seems that Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking" and "usury" and thus is to be banned. Muslims may be specifically granted an exemption based on this.
                            
                                *How convenient. So John and Jane Smith, as Christians, Jews, Buddhists or whatever, may have crippling IRS liens placed against all of our assets, including real estate, cattle, cars, etc., and even accounts receivables, and could also face hard prison time if we refuse to buy health insurance or pay the penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance at our expense. Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. Period. This is Dhimmitude. *
                                *Dhimmitude serves two purposes: it enriches the Muslim masters AND over the long haul serves to drive conversions to Islam. In this case, the incentive to convert to Islam will be taken up by those minorities in the inner-cities as well as the godless Generation X, Y and Z types who have no moral anchor or belief in God! If you don't believe in Christ to begin with, it is no problem whatsoever to again sell Him for 30 pieces of silver. "Sure, I'll be a Muslim if it means free health insurance and no taxes. Where do I sign, brother?" 

P.S. Have you heard about the summit Obama is holding this month in DC for the future Muslim business leaders in the US ? He wants to increase the ability to begin business opportunities in the US for the Muslim community! Better start looking for a country that doesn't cater to the Muslims such as Australia, because this country will be overrun by Muslims like Europe is currently experiencing. And you thought our problem was the Mexicans!......
