Flags of Victory!

After the American forces defeated the Japanese at Iwo Jima, they immortalized the victory by raising a flag. It was a symbol of conquering the enemy after a hard fought battle. It served as inspiration for our country to continue the battle and win the good fight.

"Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" is a historic photograph taken on February 23, 1945, by Joe Rosenthal. It depicts five United States Marines and a U.S. Navy corpsman raising the flag of the United States atop Mount Suribachi.[6] The photograph was extremely popular, being reprinted in thousands of publications. Later, it became the only photograph to win the Pulitzer Prize for Photography in the same year as its publication, and ultimately came to be regarded as one of the most significant and recognizable images of the war, and possibly the most reproduced photograph of all time.[6]

As we walked the first man on the moon, one of his initial priorities was to plant an American flag at Tranquillity base. It symbolized the victory of accomplishment of man over space. We met the challenge and were up to the task. We immortalized that moment by erecting that flag and claiming that struggle as ours.

After the horror of 9/11 the Muslim world is attempting to raise a mosque as a symbol of victory. From the ashes of the defeat of capitalism, arises a 15 story monument to the cause. A recruitment tool for the extremist to use symbolizing their ability to wound "The Great Satan."

They know our laws hold us helpless to stop them. If we did we'd be hypocrites to our charter. While this administration tries to make gestures of peace, by closing GITMO, they are laughing at our naivety and building a bigger symbol of victory, inspiring yet more recruitment. As our billionaires collect monies for worldwide charities, theirs fund radical extremists, and monuments to their victory. This is not by accident, it's by design.

I pray we are using every covert method possible to expose where this funding is coming from, so we can bring this to world attention. The building of this Mosque isn't a cultural event, it's symbolism for recruitment. This is their flag of victory!

God Bless!
