FOR THAT MATTER AX CLEMENT ATTLEE, TOO! http://jindal2012blog.com/341/ http://jindal2012blog.com/341/#comments Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:18:56 +0000 Elwood Earl "Sandy" Sanders, Jr. http://jindal2012blog.com/?p=341 I read in today’s Richmond Times-Dispatch looking for coverage about the special session of the legislature but I found a more disturbing story instead: Stalin’s bust coming to America!   I have blogged this in several places but I wanted my Jindal fans to protest as well!
To be more specific the D-Day Memorial in Bedford. There are busts of FDR, Harry Truman, and Winston Churchill already at the memorial. And the intent of the memorial is not to honor Joseph Stalin, the communist dictator who ordered the murder of millions in the forced collectivation of farms in the Soviet Union (a crime covered up by Walter Duranty and the New York Times) millions more in the Great Purge of the 1930’s, and sent thousands of Soviet POWs after they came home to ten year terms in the Gulag. But even this bust is an honor Stalin is unworthy of. He should not have a bust in an American WWII memorial. Stalin did not directly assist in D-Day and between 1939 and 1941, the Soviet Union was Hitler’s ally. As such, the independent nations of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia as well as part of Poland were occupied and the Baltics lost their independence. Even Gorbachev was not fully willing to right this wrong. The Polish officers captured by the Soviets were executed in the Katyn Forest and the Nazis were blamed. After the Second Worl d War, the USSR occupied Eastern Europe for what was ultimately nearly 45 years of communist slavery.
I urge all the readers of this blog to contact the D-Day Foundation and protest this. It is right to honor the suffering and support of the Soviet people but not with a bust of Stalin.
While they are at it – ax the bust of Clement Attlee, too. He was not Prime Minister during D-Day, Churchill was still in office. All Atlee did as Prime Minister from 1945 to 1951 was bring to the United Kingdom the type of socialism that is being sought in the United States today.

We will not suspend this blog.  We are unapologetic that Governor Jindal is a wonderful candidate for the White House.  We do not believe this blog is a distraction to the Governor.  I have been trying to promote items and issues that show the Governor in his best light and we will continue to do that.  Governor Jindal does not need to run for President to do that.  He will be remembered in history as the governor of Louisiana who ended the Huey Long era in that state.  He may well need eight years to do that. 

But I personally believe that God called men and women to serve at crisis times in American history.  Look at men like Harry Truman – seemingly coming from nowhere to serve the nation with great distinction.  With Senator Ensign and Governor Sanford’s scandals seemingly taking them out of contention and Governor Palin seemingly suspending national ambitions for a time (I STILL think she’ll be a FOX News evening anchor shortly; my advice for the FOX anchor with the lowest ratings – better get them up now!) that makes it all the more possible that it may be the time for national service.

Jindal is an authority on health care.  It is likely that Obamacare will fail or pass in a limited manner.  Either way, that is an important issue.  There is cap and trade that may be the Waterloo for the liberals.  Obama’s popularity is down, in some states below fifty percent.  (Of course it is still early! I thank the Ace of Spades HQ for that entry!)

My suggestion for the Jindal PAC supporters – go to the Internet – like Ron Paul did.  Form Jindal meet up groups and there are tens of pro-Jindal Facebook groups already.  Start something official – Jindal for Lousiana’s Future.  Promote the Governor.  The time may come.   Perhaps persuade the Governor that it is great for Louisiana for him to help other GOP candidates.  Governor Palin has SarahPAC, as I said in an earlier blog entry, Governor Pawlenty may start a non-profit orgnaization to promote his views and issues.  Governor Jindal might be legally able to do the same.   

We will continue to promote the Governor and also comment on 2012.  Jindal could always be the VP candidate as well as run for President.  If Dan Kyle wants to be a guest blogger here – write us something and send it to us! 

We’ll see you at an election near you!  Don’t forget to help the local/state candidates in your area while we await 2012 or 2016!
