John Doe

John Doe is being sued by the Imams, who after acting in an extremely suspicious manner were removed from the US Airways flight form Minneapolis to Phoenix. Now, I see on Michelle Malkins blog that a few bloggers, Uncle Jimbo of youtube.com/unclejimbomadcity, Robert Spencer of jihadwatch.com, Erick Stakleback of cbn.com/blogs/erick_stakleback/index.aspx, and Brian Preston of hotair.com, have stepped up with the John Doe Manifesto, the manifesto lets it be known to all who would enslave us, or work to bring down America that John Doe will not be intimidated. He will not be silenced, and he will not give a rat’s pa-toot what they think. He is vigilant, he is aware or his surroundings, he is watching. But, who is John Doe, really? He is the guy looking over from the next car at the stop light. He is the woman who watched you pump gas into the gallon can for your lawn mower. John Doe is bagging your groceries. He is the cashier at the store where you stop on the way home from work. He is the person who collects your garbage. He is the woman pushing the stroller, who smiled pleasantly as you passed. He is the jogger in the park. John Doe is us. He is every American who watched television on 11 September, 2001 with purple faced, white fisted rage as the Twin Towers fell. He howled in frustration at his feelings of impotence, because there was nothing he could do, when learning about the Pentagon. He wept, unashamed, at the bravery of the passengers on flight 93. He wants to do some thing, anything, to protect his country, and to defend her. John Doe does not care when told he is a bigot because he is on alert for the enemies of his country. He will become more vigilant. He is more suspicious, he is taking a harder look at those who are trying to make his vigilance falter. He will not back down. John Doe will tell the flight attendants when he sees something, or someone that isn’t quite right. He will call the Police when he sees something disturbing, he doesn't care if he is wrong. He will err on the side of caution. We are John Doe. I am John Doe. Are you John Doe?
Below is the John Doe Manifesto as taken from Michelle Malkin’s blog.

Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist,
You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy. And I am yours.
I am John Doe.
I am traveling on your plane. I am riding on your train. I am at your bus stop. I am on your street. I am in your subway car. I am on your lift.
I am your neighbor. I am your customer. I am your classmate. I am your boss.
I am John Doe.
I will never forget the example of the passengers of American Airlines Flight 93 who refused to sit back on 9/11 and let themselves be murdered in the name of Islam without a fight.
I will never forget the passengers and crew members who tackled al Qaeda shoe-bomber Richard Reid on American Airlines Flight 63 before he had a chance to blow up the plane over the Atlantic Ocean.
I will never forget the alertness of actor James Woods, who notified a stewardess that several Arab men sitting in his first-class cabin on an August 2001 flight were behaving strangely. The men turned out to be 9/11 hijackers on a test run.
I will act when homeland security officials ask me to “report suspicious activity.”
I will embrace my local police department’s admonition: “If you see something, say something.”
I am John Doe.
I will protest your Jew-hating, America-bashing “scholars.”
I will petition against your hate-mongering mosque leaders.
I will raise my voice against your subjugation of women and religious minorities.
I will challenge your attempts to indoctrinate my children in our schools.
I will combat your violent propaganda on the Internet.
I am John Doe.
I will support law enforcement initiatives to spy on your operatives, cut off your funding, and disrupt your murderous conspiracies.
I will oppose all attempts to undermine our borders and immigration laws.
I will resist the imposition of sharia principles and sharia law in my taxi cab, my restaurant, my community pool, the halls of Congress, our national monuments, the radio and television airwaves, and all public spaces.
I will not be censored in the name of tolerance.
I will not be cowed by your Beltway lobbying groups in moderate clothing. I will not cringe when you shriek about “profiling” or “Islamophobia.”
I will put my family’s safety above sensitivity. I will put my country above multiculturalism.
I will not submit to your will. I will not be intimidated.
I am John Doe.

The Swamp Fox

Hi, folks, just thought I would introduce myself, I was asked by the Nervous Rodent to give him a hand while he is occupied with other commitments. I am a guest blogger from The Commons at Paulieworld (paulieworld.com/commons), and have known the Rodent and Mrs. Rodent for about 3 years. I posted a few articles at The Commons in its previous form, three of them were on the Second Amendment, they were Lawsuits against Firearm Manufacturers for the Criminal or Negligent Misuse, Militias and the Second Amendment, Concealed Carry and the Right to Self Defense. I also posted a few things I found around the web on various subjects, some political and some humorous. I will post on occasion when I have something to say, and probably even when I don’t. At The Commons I am the resident Second Amendment expert, not that I am an expert in the sense that some are, Chris Cox of NRA comes to mind, but I guess I am the expert over there. My nom de plume is The Swamp Fox; I didn’t take this name it was given to me by the web master over at The Commons, some of us who post to The Commons live rather public lives or have other reasons for needing a nom de plume. If you go to The Commons you will see that all of our nom de plumes have a Revolutionary War theme. But, why don’t I let you read what he (Paulie) said of me instead of trying to tell you. The Swamp Fox = Namesake is Col Francis Marion, led a guerilla war against the British in the South. Our resident Second Amendment expert and perhaps the only true libertarian on our masthead. Some of my posts will be by someone who wishes to remain anonymous; I will come up with an alias for them when the time comes. I will sometimes post because of an outrage committed by some politician, or some other thing I find outrageous, other times I will be amazed at some nit wittery, or just feel like venting my spleen, if for no other reason then I can. I will try to keep a civil tongue in my head, as I have no wish to offend, and think that if you must curse to get your point across then you don’t have much of a point in the first place. I hope you will read what I have to say and if you agree, give me some feed back, and if not take me to task for it, but I only ask that either way you are polite. I hope to help the Rodent keep you entertained and make you think a little, and maybe once in a while get a laugh out of you. You can even curse me, but, hey, please, just don’t do that on the Rodents pages. I always try to end with a quote, they may or may not be germane to the issue at hand, but I like to sometimes change things up. I never know which quote is going to strike my fancy, so it could be anyone from Saltus to Ted Nugent to Samuel Clements to the Dali Lama to Joseph Goebbles. Thank you for reading what I have to say, now and in the future. Enjoy.
