    Linked in the title is a very important and well researched article by my friend Kit of Euphoric Reality. This is part one, and I will be linking to her all week as this story unfolds.

    I will also cover this on my show this week on Xradio, just click "Listen Live".

    **********UPDATE*********

    Here is part Two.....

    The Meat and Potatos of PART SEVEN!!!
    Time has flown
    Like clouds that
    Scatter on a windy day
    Our paths
    No longer intertwine
    But run closely still
    One day surely they
    Will diverge
    The wisps of what was
    Becoming smoke in the breeze
    Hinted at on calm days
    When views of grandeur
    Flood memories
    Of moonlit embraces
    And smiles at dawn
    But now tears at midnight
    Haunt my soul
    And stain my heart
    Passion and anger blend
    Creating longing that
    Will sear my thoughts
    Disappointing my hopes
    Clouding my view
    Surely is the world
    Much darker
    With the absence
    Of our light

    Starting on 1st August 2005 I am devoting at least a week, (most likely two,or maybe more) to our veterans.

    Circumstances have occurred to bring about a series of shows focusing on the veterans of our wars.

    Every weekday from 1st August to 12th August 2005 I will have interviews, live and taped, with veterans of our wars, from WW2 to the current war.

    Tune in to hear Living History.

    Only on Xradio.biz
    Linked in the title is a story of one of our soldiers.

    A Marine.

    Lance Corporal Aaron Austin, Echo Company of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 1st Marine Division, based at Camp Pendleton to be more exact.


    Here are some parts of the story from the L.A.Times;

    On the last night of his life, Lance Cpl. Aaron Austin joined a prayer session with other Marines hunkered down in a bullet-riddled neighborhood in Fallouja, Iraq.

    Austin, a 21-year-old machine-gunner, asked God for protection not for himself but for his fellow Marines of Echo Company of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 1st Marine Division, based at Camp Pendleton.


    Did you get that? He didn't pray for himself, he prayed for his fellow Marines. A mark of a true man is selflessness and sacrifice to something larger than yourself, whether it be and ideal or a cause.


    The next morning, insurgents attacked from three directions, firing thousands of rounds from AK-47s and other firearms and hurling dozens of grenades.

    With the Marines in danger of being overrun, Austin exposed himself to enemy fire in order to throw a grenade at their position 20 meters away. The grenade helped repel the attack, but Austin was mortally wounded.


    Do you think it even crossed Lance Corporal Austin's mind that he would be killed? I doubt it. You know what I think crossed his mind? "I gotta stop these guys." I bet he never once thought about the hail of bullets whizzing by over his head, or considered twice what he was doing. His men were in trouble. His Brothers were under attack and all that mattered to him at that moment was stopping those that were threatening his Marines.

    For those who knew Austin, his action was no surprise. Today, in a simple ceremony at the Texas Panhandle War Memorial in Amarillo, Austin's parents will receive the Silver Star, awarded posthumously to their son.

    Sgt. Maj. William Skiles, who was with Austin that brutal morning in Fallouja, will present the award — the nation's third-highest medal for bravery in combat.

    "All the Marines stepped up, and Aaron led the way," Skiles said.


    And Aaron Led the way.


    Austin's mother, De'on Miller, said she understood her son's actions during the firefight on April 26, 2004. Loyalty, she said, was at the core of her son's personality.

    "He loved the people he was with," Miller said from her home in Lovington, N.M. "That was Aaron: When he was loyal, he put his entire heart into it. He wouldn't quit fighting."


    Loyalty. That is something that is sadly lacking in America today by those on the left. They aren't loyal to Freedom, or the ideals that the Marines, and indeed our entire military, encompass.

    Today's left has no concept of Loyalty....or Courage....Sacrifice, or even Love Of Country. They are cowardly, whiny and lazy, couching everything completely in "feelings", forgetting that life is unfair and will remain so no matter how hard mankind attempts to legislate unfairness away.

    The only loyalty they understand is being loyal to their petty wants and needs, and the sole shred of courage they still possess is the courage to remain ignorant.

    To them a sacrifice is ordering a smaller cup of overpriced coffee so that their asses don't spread.

    I will lay it out for you moonbats that still haven't a clue.

    We are AT WAR!!!


    AT WAR YOU IDIOTS!!!

    With people that want to destroy us....people that train their own kids to grow up to be murderers, and hold those that kill the innocent in highest regard.

    There is not one thing you can say to reason with the people that think that way.

    Their only goal is to destroy the west, to subjugate the survivors and create a global caliphate.

    And you morons on the left are more than willing to go along with them.

    I will no longer brook "discussion" with those on the left. Either you are with us, or against us.

    This goes for those "Muslims" that claim to be "peaceful".

    Either stand with us loudly or be considered suspect.

    There is no middle ground. There is no appeasement, and there is no other way to peace than through death.

    There is nothing the West can do to create a peace with these radical islamic terrorists.

    NOTHING!!!!

    There is a time and place for everyting.

    There is a time for peace, and a time for war.

    And this is the time for war.

    It is us or them.

    Stand with us or against us, but know that when America and Freedom destroys radical islam that we will not forget those that stood with us, and those that stood against us.

    As Bush said;

    Bring IT ON!!!

    I have been excitedly following this story. The House has voted to limit aid to Mexico because of their pig-headed insistence to harbor criminals that have broke into the U.S. and committed crimes such as killing cops in cold blood.

    Leave it to that crafty devil Vincente Fox to get W to send in a hurricane so W's little friend could get more aid.

    Damned Neo-Con Mexican.
    I got these in a series, and added my thoughts, opinions and
    observations in parentheses. Enjoy, Kender

    1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it
    down.

    (Most guys think you should learn after the first time you
    experience 'splashdown'.)


    2. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are special days, but not
    quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!


    (Look, a
    lil' honesty here, even tho' you think men aren't honest, we don't
    consider if a gift is gonna make you happy or not, unless we are in
    trouble. Nope, we only consider if a gift is gonna get us laid. It's
    as
    simple as that.)


    3. Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it.


    (enuff said)

    4. Do not ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to
    discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, and golf
    shots.



    (or, in the case of the truly undeveloped tactless man, the state of
    your girlfriends asses)


    5. Sunday=Sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.
    Let it be.


    (ESPECIALLY DURING FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!!)

    6. Shopping is NOT a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it
    that way. It will never make an Olympic event.


    (although we could be
    wrong on that, the way they instituted women's hockey & wrestling)
    (and if they do make it an Olympic sport, American women will crush
    everybody at it, all the time, hands down, and I think I have known
    some
    medal contenders)


    7. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.
    Really.


    (This is the truest thing I have ever read)

    8. Crying is blackmail.


    (it is BEYOND blackmail, it should be one of
    the
    seven deadly sins. It should be a felony. It is the most manipulative
    thing a woman can do. This is not a funny one.)


    9. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do
    not work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say
    it!


    (Remember, we are men. We are simple creatures. Follow this one as
    if it came from Heaven Above. In fact, it should be a commandment.)


    10. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a
    calendar. Remind us frequently.


    (And when we forget because you didn't
    remind us, [see rule #9], remember rule #8)


    11. Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think
    we'd
    be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with
    your dress?


    ( Oh boy, could I go from here, why do you need 8 pairs of
    black shoes? And while I am on shoes, those who wear high heels
    deserve
    what they get. If you can't wear comfortable shoes to go out around
    town in, then don't expect any sympathy from us. BTW, wearing shoes
    that hurt your feet, and telling us at the end of an evening that we'll
    get no action "because my feet hurt" is grounds for your dismissal!!)


    12. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every
    question.



    (Practice these words girls. They aren't as hard to say as you
    think. After all, you have been saying no to most of the guys you know
    your whole life.)


    13. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's
    what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


    (Amen!!!)

    14. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.



    (Hey, actually, 17 months and you'd be kicked to the curb. Face it, a
    headache that lasts for a week is too long.)


    15. Check your oil! Please.


    (and your tire pressure)

    16. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In
    fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.


    (Actually, all
    comments should be null and void after 20 minutes, and I am giving you
    10 minutes longer than I want to. We do not, absolutely, under any
    circumstances, remember comments you make, with very rare exceptions,
    and almost all of those will have something to do with our physique
    and/or our prowess in bed.)


    17. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect
    us
    to act like soap opera guys.


    ( And if you do dress like Victorias Secret
    girls, expect us to drool and paw you. Alot.)


    18. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the
    ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.


    (Although
    experience has shown that women will ALWAYS take what a man says the
    wrong way.)


    19. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.


    (So
    there!!!)


    20. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it
    done not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it
    yourself.


    (However, if you do it yourself, shut up about it, you are
    not
    allowed to bring it up at all, ever. Period.)


    21. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during
    commercials.


    (This is MANDATORY during any sports related show. Hell,
    go
    ahead and talk if you want, just keep it down and don't get pissy when
    we don't listen.)


    22. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.



    (Also, unlike women, we navigate by compass points, i.e., N.S.E.&W.
    These are directions to us. Nobody has yet figured out how women
    navigate, but if they ever do, I can guarantee that their system will
    take at least three people, two of which will have to be at a gas
    station or liquor store.)


    23. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two
    months we were going out. Deal with it.


    (Once we get in your pants,
    you're lucky if we stick around anyway, so deal with that too.)


    24. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
    Peach,
    for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. ;-) We
    have no idea what mauve is.


    (or periwinkle, or chartreuse, unless the
    man is gay, in which case he will most likely see in 10,000 more colors
    than any woman .)


    25. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.


    (And that is a cue
    you should take from us. Let go ladies, you only live once, be
    comfortable.)


    26. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of
    mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.



    (get
    over this one also, just because we don't know what you may be thinking
    at a particular moment, really does not mean we don't love you, it just
    means that, at that moment, you aren't thinking about sex or sports.)


    27. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will assume
    nothing's wrong.


    (In other words, if something is wrong, and we ask,
    tell us, unless you don't want our help fixing it. In that case, I
    refer you back to rule #13.)


    28. I'm in shape. - Round IS a shape.


    (And finally, all men in long
    term
    relationships have heard something along the lines of 'not tonight, I'm
    too fat'. Lemme tell ya something. You will NEVER hear that from a
    man.
    EVER. It has been said that women will never be equal to men until they
    can walk down the street with a beer gut and a bald head and think to
    themselves "Yep, I am hot, baby!)


    Amen Brothers and sisters.

    Live it, learn it.

    (yes yes, I know, this is completely shameless self promotion, but just this once(?) bear with me)

    On Friday I have a couple of SPECIAL SHOWS over on Xradio dot biz.

    "Why are they special Kender?" you ask?

    Funny you should ask.

    As far as people are concerned at The Wide Awakes with making very certain that The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But The Truth gets out over the ether of cyberspace, this show is VERY IMPORTANT.

    You see, I have a SPECIAL CALLER that is going to be calling in to speak with me on friday, July 18th, at 6:15 PST, (9:15 EST), who happens to run a website.

    "You don't say Kender", I can hear you all asking yourself right about now with just a hint of sarcasm in your voice, (and maybe a touch of hurt if you are a lefty that hasn't been asked to do a special interview, you insufferably thin skinned sot), and this particular "webmaster" is as far left as you can be without having a hammer and sickle tattoed on your arse.

    This fellow runs an anarchist website, (and if you really want the info email me for it, as I refuse to give him traffic), and he has called an ANTI-ILLEGAL immigration group racists, as those moonbats are wont to do when they can't get away with calling you a fascist...oh wait, I think they have called us that also.

    You see, the group he has said such nasty, untruthful things about is Save Our State, a grassroots organization that was started to put pressure on our government to SECURE our borders and STOP THESE CRIMINALS!!!

    Apparently those on the left think that rounding up criminals (read: illegals) that sneak into our country is wrong. This is simply yet another example of how the left fails to use LOGIC and REASON when dealing with the real world.

    Nasty things and OUTRIGHT LIES have been written by these people about PATRIOTS that are trying to do SOMETHING about the invasion of the United States of America.

    That is OK though.

    Tune into friday evening to hear the INSANITY of the FAR LEFT finally EXPOSED!!!

    If you wish you can email me questions you would like to have asked at kendermacgowan@gmail.com

    So step on over for a good old fashioned M'Bat Bar-B-Q...and it's BYOB folks. That means "bring your own bile"

    Oh yeah, I said two shows huh?

    At midnight I am back on with a great group called The After Midnight Project.

    Go check out their site and be sure to go here and listen to "Take Me Home".

    There will be prizes handed out on the midnight show, (prizes TBA) and maybe even an autograped CD will be one of 'em.

    Catch it all on Xradio.biz.

    Just click "Listen Live"

    written and performed by my friend Brian Travis

    Brian just sent me the actual words to the spoken word soundscape that you hear at the beginning of this song. Go Listen.

    (Dream harder...your not dreaming hard enough..._

    The Past is gone and the future hasn't happened yet

    (She had midnight hair and angel wings)

    Therefore the past and the future haven't happened yet...

    (It's really about Freedom
    Freedom of choice
    Freedom of speech
    freedom of expression)

    You can taste this moment and turn it into anything you want it to be...

    (why are you burning this poor defenseless man...? He has done nothing to you!)

    feel joy, feel sorrow and do it all over again

    (I've declared myself unsafe...)

    Define yourself within the parameters of each moment you are given...

    (don't forget the fish!)

    The possibilities are infinite...


    (A song inspired by Burning Man, that speaks to me of life...and relationships....and is a reminder to me of how each end and also reminds me that without hope we really have nothing....click on the title, load up "Gasoline" and just listen.)
    This comes from Nickie, so a big tip o' me Tam, (that's a Scottish hat Nickie), goes to him for this story.

    "Italy, EU insist Parmesan cheese must be Parma-made"

    That's right...the idiots in the EU are insisting, along with the cheese police in Italy, that a certain kind of cheese only be called "parmesan" if it actually comes from Parma Italy.

    I won't rant about this, as I have already mentioned before that mexico will sue you if you make tequila outside of mexico and call it tequila, and champagne can only be called that if it comes from the champagne region in france, (otherwise it must be called "sparkling wine, BY LAW...DAMNED FROGS) and soon (I'll wager)you will only be able to call something a "sandwich" if it is actually made in Sandwich, England.

    Yo know what I wanna do?

    I wanna make a CHAMPAGNE TEQUILA with PARMESAN undertones.....I know it sounds sick, but how else to fit in all the names the cUntries are whining about these days?

    Unless of course I find some way to make it into a sandwich.
    HEEEELLLOOOOOO
    NEEEEW
    ZEEEEEAAALLAAAAANND!!!
    Thanks for stopping by.
    This got written up after some anarchists tried to interrupt one of the G8 summits a few years back....(I think it was Seattle...may have been NYC, either way they made a huge mess and got off scot-free)....so enjoy it.


    An Lament To Police Batons and Pepper Spray

    Here's to billy clubs and taser guns
    And hosing down those folks that run
    To gather in great unwashed masses
    Holding signs that show they're asses
    That revel in pure ignorance
    Completely lacking common sense
    So chase 'em down with pepper spray
    Teach them lessons on this day
    That blocking traffic is a crime
    And anarchists should do their time
    In cells with guys that like to rape
    And other nasty reprobates
    So they can see that law and order
    Should be enforced, just like the border
    But now the anarchists are safe
    From blunt batons and cops with mace
    And taser guns and pepper spray
    And being locked up for the day
    Beat on the punks we cannot do
    'Cause they will scream "ACLU"

    Crossposted at Stop The ACLU
    If you had a loved one that was terminal.....how would you say goodbye?
    Really.

    GO!!!
    First off Corruption Exposer, unlike most of those I find that I don't agree with, actually manned up and called the show. Most of those on the left side of the street don't have the guts to call, so props to him for having the balls to back his stuff up. At least him and I have that quality in common.

    Last night I spent quite a bit of time online telling some scum-sucking fembots what absolute bitches they are.

    They banned me.

    Then they decided to start moderating all comments, so now they have a bit more work to keep their blog up....and I will be checking occasionally to see when they get lazy and complacement and stop moderating.

    So that's two.

    I was also banned from the DUmbass Parallel Universe.

    I swear, some of these guys and hags have no respect for the First Amendment.

    I had a great post about to go up when the news broke about London.

    Horrible stuff, and the DUmbasses are already saying it was a Bush Conspiracy to Take Attention Away from The TRUTH....whatever THAT may be. (A Tip 'o me tam to Duncan Avatar for that lead.)

    But then I heard that Giuliani, the infamous former mayor of New York, was in London when the attacks went down. Fairly close to them I understand.

    Now, I know the conspiracy buffs are saying it is a Bush/Blair Rovian conspiracy, and many people think it was related to London being chosen just the day before for the 2012 Olympics, and others are saying that it was because of the G8 Summit going on in Scotland.

    So now I have some other theories. Bear with me here.

    If it was a Bush/Blair Rovian conspiracy then maybe they didn't set it off to take attention away from anything, but to make Giuliani some news, after all on 9/11 he was right there, on the news and doing what Giuliani does so well. Saying what people needed to hear.

    So that is another theory.

    Let's look at that. We have the "Olympic Theory" (rather a touch possible, I mean, who's to say that NY, Paris and Moscow don't have cells in them with readied bombs and just waited to see who got the games for 2012?), and we have the "Bush/Blair Rovian" theory, two of them actually, one for diverting attention and one for making news for Giuliani. We also have the "G8" theory, which some think is Jihad Joe amking a statement.

    I think these are all wrong!!!

    I think a fatwa has been issued against Rudy Giuliani.

    Think about it.

    9-11...where was Giuliani?

    Yesterday...where was Giuliani?

    Come to think of it, does anyone know where Giuliani was when the trains in spain were attacked?

    Rudy did something to piss off some imam somewhere, and they are in an all out attack to take him out.

    So watch out Rudy, they're coming to get you.

    Hey, it is just as valid of a theory as that tossed out by the moonbats over at the DUmbass Batcave.
    ..for stoptheaclu.coms opening day, where they are having a caption contest. I linked it in the title instead.

    A more important story is here, where a major terrorist attack has occured in London, not coincidentally on the same day as the G8 conference is going.

    At least seven explosions have been reported at this point, with three double decker buses being targeted along with the London Underground. That is their name for the subway.

    Expect a high casualty count people, many from smoke inhalation for the victims in the subways.

    Expect also tons of blowback.

    Blowback from the people that hate Blair, and will blame this on him.

    Blowback from those that have stood by Blair, realizing that these terrorists must be stopped, and if they aren't stopped in the holes they crawl out of, then they will have to be stopped on the streets of London, New York, and every other city on the planet where the scum-sucking terrorists congregate in a free society to plan their evil attacks.

    Expect blowback from all sides. This is about to look like a shitstorm, in England, AND here.

    Pray for the victims, their families, and the first responders who, according to reports coming in this moment, are even now battling continuing explosions.

    I am worried about one of our own, so to speak. RottyPup, proud member of the wide awakes and a resident of England.

    Maybe now they will wake up over there and realize that Bush and Blair are correct and this fight must be taken to the bad guys.

    But don't expect it.
    **This is a long post, but worth the read I believe. It is also an older post of mine, which is still very timely, and also needed for those lefty moonbats that really don't believe that today's democratic party is a threat to this country. As you will see below, all of the goals from this list that have been enacted in the last 42 years have been pushed through by democrats, and I defy any of you to prove otherwise!!!**

    In America today is an insidious movement underfoot to make us a much weaker nation. Created by communists, and outlined in a book called "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen, is a list of 45 goals to take over America. It is 42 years since this list was read into the Congressional Record, and looking back at those 42 years it terrifies me to see how many of these goals have been achieved.

    The democrats have enacted these goals. The democrats have become an anti-American party. The ACLU their quiet cohorts. A right thinking person would see this list and demand that those in charge of the democratic party, and those running the ACLU, and in fact the moneyed interests behind the aclu, be brought up on charges of treason. That is correct. Treason.

    No the question mark isn't a typo.

    One of our staunch allies in the fight against the ACLU has posted a great piece about the Declaration of Independence that you dear reader should read on this fine day of celebrating our Founding Fathers foresight in telling the British Crown to stuff a blood sausage in it.

    In another post that made my chest swell with pride RomeoCat, staunch ally in The Wide Awakes posted about lazy Americans and judicial tyranny and promptly caught a troll.....he was quickly laid low, gutted, battered and fricaseed for the TWA July Fourth Independence Day Celebration, and will no doubt be enjoyed with an American Beer and some Freedom Fries come noon tomorrow.

    To those staunch allies of our country, Patriots, Defenders of the Constitution, Red White and Blue Blooded Americans, (and you know who you are) I wish you a great holiday. Please take a moment to remember those that serve so far from loved ones during these most trying times, and those that have returned to highest honors, sacrificing all so your Freedom to celebrate would not be threatened by those that hate us and would see us destroyed.

    To the rest of you traitorous bastards, frogs, American hating zealots and european socialists I say, in the Spirit of the Holiday, Flaming Cheery Red Pippin Fucks to you.

    God Bless America!!!
