Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
The 2006 UMNO Annual General Assembly was noted for controversial statements made by several delegates, such as Hashim Suboh, who asked Hishammuddin when he would "use" the keris; Hishammuddin had again brandished the keris at the assembly that year. No action whatsoever was taken against these extremists. They are the practitioners of Ketuanan Melayu. So people vote with your eyes open.
MCA denies being an UMNO 'agent' used to mollify the unhappy Chinese community in Malaysia. Can you believe them?
It is unfortunate, that the community's needs have been made into a political circus show whereby we are held at ransom by the infamous Minister of Education, Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein. (I wonder if OKT managed to whisper into (Keris)ham's ears as to what he thought of his annual keris-defying acts)
Just before elections are called, the UMNO-led Barisan Nasional government will dish out small portion of the community's needs (it is estimated by DongJiaoZhong that the overcrowded Chinese vernacular primary schools today will require some 130 new or relocated schools to resolve), and obviously, these 'agents' of UMNO will dish out Oscar winning performances to demonstrate how magnanimous Barisan Nasional is (re: above pictures).
Is this not "beggar politics"? Can we accept subservience to UMNO and it's race supremacy politics? After all, the MCA president have publicly declared that UMNO's MCA's best partner... "why end such a beautiful friendship?"
Doesn't it mean that a vote for MCA, or for that matter, Gerakan is indeed a vote for UMNO? From Tony Pua's blog
