Well, as someone who DID fight for the freedom of this country, let’s just say that at least I, for one (and NOT speaking about you, Ari), could at least fit into my uniform - lol

No one is going to save anything with incompetently run conventions that produce overvotes in three of fifteen (20 percent!) precincts.

Only the Republican’s can save this Country. Democrats are weak on foreign policy, military funding and preparedness, and immigration. Could that be why you want us to vote Democrat? Or am I being racist again? By the way, were you the person at the 51st convention who yelled out, vote Democrat?

DITTO FREEDOM! Your statement cuts to the core and says all that needs to be said. I am right beside you in this fight. We’re officially an army of two. Who else wants to join us?

Help Save the United States of America, land of the free, home of the brave. I will fight for the freedom and safety of this country, my children and grandchildren.

BTW…Fred Thompson gets it too.

So yes, in an alternate universe an alternate Faisal Gill working for an alternate American Muslim Council could perhaps have done what you said, but the real Faisal Gill was in no position to do so, at least while he was working for Alamoudi’s AMC.

Remember it was in August 2000 that Alamoudi stood in front of the White House and proclaimed himself and the crowd members of Hamas and Hezbullah.

If Faisal as AMC chief lobbyist had specifically named Hamas and called it terrorist Faisal would have been escorted from the AMC building. His employement would have terminated immediately.

There may have been some, but I am not aware of them.

He would have been smart to hold some peace rally or give a victory speech to unite the party.

Can you imagine, I mean, even IMAGINE the power and the unifying force the Gill campaign would have enjoyed if he were to have led a good faith “World Peace March” … or hosted a “World Peace Rally,” for ALL Americans — Republican, Democrat, Muslims, Christians, Jews…it makes no difference — deploring and denouncing the terrorist threat and actions of Islamic Extremists in this country and around the world? Ft Dix and Kennedy Airport are two recent examples of the threat.

If Faisal Gill HAD organized such a rally, there would be little work for those who now call for Republican Party unity behind Faisal Gill. Americans of all faiths and all political parties would have been behind him and November would be a cake-walk.

The criticism behind all that, which I fear might get lost in the rhetoric, is that the convention looked like a pakistani community rally rather than a Republican convention, and I doubt many Republicans would be pleased with what happened especially after it ended. It doesn’t reflect well on the party to have victory celebrations that look more like middle eastern protests than the kind of genteel political conventions that are more appropriate in Virginia.

Besides, these folks spoke urdu, and I believe ‘allahu akbar’ is arabic. I wasn’t there after it ended, so I’m not sure, but I would be surprised if that is what they were chanting.

Would you please send all your documentation on Faisal Gill’s history to a lawyer here in the 51st District? His name is Paul Nichols. Thanks.”"”

I will prepare a bibliography of the case against Gill and list the sources used. I will put it online as GoodbyeFaisal.com and invite others, including Mr. Nichols, to use it.

It should be online sometime next week. Thanks for the encouragement!
