After the Show - 3/7/09 - Granite State Patriots
I think it is fair to say those on the Right who are astute and have been watching the eroding of traditional values, especially here in NH, are not happy. During the show yesterday, I mentioned a new group called the Granite State Patriots (their website is here).
Jack Kimball was a guest on our radio show, Meet The New Press, back on Jan 17, 2009 (announcement here, podcast here). At the time, Doug wrote this:
As noted in this previous posting, Vietnam Veteran (Navy) and loyal Pease Greeter Jack Kimball sent a passionate email about a new and insidious phenomena occuring recently throughout the US-- INCLUDING HERE IN NH:
As I explained last night, after Greeting the Troops, I have found out that there have been very large Pro Hamas, Anti-Israeli Rallies all over our country. Some of them turned violent. The key point here is that we now have an element in this country that is not afraid to demonstrate their Anti Americanism as well as their support for terrorist organizations such as Hamas.This is the kind of stuff that our kids are learning in US colleges all over the country and it cannot go unchallanged.
We have the responsibility to fight the good fight at home while our wonderful troops are fighting the other fight, overseas. Imagine what they must think when they see this garbage going on in our own country. What they really need to see is that we are doing something abut it. So, if any of you have video cameras, please bring them a take some video of our group during the counter rally and get it up on YouTube.
And indeed, we will have Jack on to discuss the counter demonstration rally that is to take place in Durham Center from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM this coming Sunday. Jack, like me, and I'm sure many of you, is rightfully angry that, given the events of September 11, and the price paid by our brave soldiers in the fighting since, people would have the gall to march and openly demonstrate in FAVOR of terrorists. We'll also talk a bit about the troops he greets at Pease, and what he thinks is coming down the pike, given some recent danger signs most people probably gave scant attention...
Well, he got written up in the Portsmouth Herald, which then got him an opportunity on Fox New's morning show, Fox N' Friend:
I believe that a number of other newspapers, radio shows and TV shows have expressed an interest to have Jack on to explain his group's intent.
Here the link to his group's website: Granite State Patriots - go take a gander!
He has impressed me and certainly has impressed Bruce over at MassBackwards: "Mr. Kimball, you are not alone"(by the way, I read Bruce every day!)
And I would have to agree with that sentiment - he is not alone, nor are others of us that believe in individual liberty, freedom, limited government (and limited taxation thereof), and that our principles must be defended both abroad....and at home.
Jack speaks the truth and believes whole heartedly in what he says; it is amazing how many people, who would normally be content to sit on the sidelines, have expressed interest in his group and are willing to support him.
