The Voice of God has gone Silent

No, the secularization of America has not succeeded in having Rush Limbaugh banned from the airwaves. Rather, the long time N.Y. Yankee and New York Football Giants' public address announcer, Bob Sheppard, has retired after more than fifty five years of continuous service to his teams, city and nation. Mr. Sheppard's voice was so distinctive, so redolent, so pitch perfect that when going to Yankee stadium first for baseball, then football games and hearing the exact same melodic tones, I was convinced that he was a machine generated human voice. He will be missed.

Now, turning to the Madness of the Clowns - Three NAVY seals to be tried in a military court's martial for allegedly giving a high value terrorist a bloody upper lip shortly after they risked their lives behind enemy lines to capture him. This man, Ahmed Hasim Abed, had boasted of being responsible for the torture murders (and desecration/mutilation of their corpses) of four American security agents in Iraq in 2004.

Now, our military establishment, which ignored the impending terrorist killings at Fort Hood, is going to ruin three fighting heroes lives in a military trial that will not be the equal of what the 911 Mastermind will receive in federal civil court in New York City. All i can do now is refer you to an earlier Blog Post - the war is indeed over, We Lost.
