The title of this post refers to the text of I Peter 4:17, a call to truth, justice, repentance. Take time to look it up and then read on…
Below is the text of an email from a “retired blogger” *heh* that I’m choosing to pass on, as he suggests, in email but also here:
The left continues their struggle to turn the liberation of Iraq into a defeat of our military by starting a petition for active duty service members to vote for surrender.

Blogger patriot Antimedia has taken up the challenge and started his own counter petition.
As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform and place my life on the line in defense of freedom, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to unconditionally support all American military forces and to cease denigrating us by comparing us with Nazis and followers of Pol Pot and calling us murderers. I further respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress not to abandon the Iraqi people as we so shamefully abandoned the South Vietnamese. The time for all Americans to pull together, take a stand for freedom and support us in the war on terror [sic] is long overdue.
Don’t let the left wing redefine the hard work and sacrifice of our men and women in Iraq as a wasted effort! Don’t let them make Baghdad into another Saigon! Please pass this e-mail on.

OK, Woody, it’s passed here (as well as to an email list).
Now, folks, what are YOU going to do with this? It’s time to call our representqatives to do justice, discover the true meaning of mercy (and I’ll give you a hint: it’s NOT appeasement! “Mercy” shown ONLY to the offender and not the victims is cruelty) and humility.
IOW, they need a swift kick in the pants, a slap upside the head or a strong right cross to get their attention and call them back (back? Most have never viewed their “service” as true servants ought) to actually serve the citizens of this country, instead of simply viewing us as sheep to be shorn… or worse, fleeced.
