CAPSAR86, I'm afraid I have to agree with davidsinn on this one. The Founding Fathers had it right, but things have changed so much for the worse since then, that I have no doubt that the founding fathers are rolling in their graves. Sad, but all too true.  :(

Even as a 9th grader, I see it because I've personally read the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the personal writings of men such as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Adams, Daniel Webster, to name a few (I love U.S. history, if you can't tell). They all warn of exactly what has happened to this great nation in the last century or so. It's saddening, but more so it angers me as an American that we've let ourselves go this far astray.  >:( But, that's what I love about the constitution. We, the People, have the power to reverse the damage if we try hard enough.

(BTW, Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th century. Just though I'd throw that out there.  ;)

Now, with that out of the way, we should look more into the organization and where they stand on things, but congrats to all CAP members regardless on being selected for this award. Maybe now we won't be such a secret. :clap: :clap: :clap:


Edit: I'm behind everything. CAPSAR86, you got it with your second post.

It is amazing how a thread that was started to "Acknowledge and Celebrate"  the work of CAP and it's members has turned in a political discussion about communism in the United States and the Investigation of a group seeking to honor the people and work of CAP.

It is really sad that it started off by wanting to have a ribbon designed specifically for this award and now we need a Congressional Hearing. Come on people  :( :(

To raise the ridiculous nature of this thread, how about designing a new uniform on which to wear the ribbon that someone wants ?

For the sake of argument, lets say we rule out the issues of the founder being a Socialist or Socialist sympathizer, and possible facilitator of our enemies. A review of the organizations' own information seems to indicate that their major philosophical premise is that religion is the root of most world conflict. Given that ( And the fact that their webpage looks like it was drawn up by Tony Pineda using Microsoft Word) How does CAP warrant special recognition along with other individuals who seem hostile to religion, or at least religious principals used as a moral foundation for government? Which political philosophy is most hostile to religion? While information on the group is pretty sparse, I suggest we give this a little review to make sure we are not being played. This is not the Nobel Prize.....I don't know fully what it is, and I don't think anyone here does either. Shouldn't we know?

Among other things, this group's foundation seems to be involved in Scientology. Before we put on that medal, I think we better find out who stamped it out. And now back to your discussion of what the ribbon will look like: I am leaning towards a "peace sign" ( The broken cross symbol) over a Rainbow colored ( for obvious reasons) background, possibly with a red star and Unicorn if it will fit.

Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

I'd have to agree into looking closer into this 'award'.  We need to find out who they truly are and really where they stand on the issues.  Furthermore, the US has NEVER been a socialist country, we are anti-socialist.  If you can't understand that, I suggest reading some of the writings of the founding fathers to be reeducated.

Didn't people say the same thing about the President?

Just what is it with people on the certain side of politics that anything THEY don't know automatically is a Communist-Muslim-American-Hater?

Can we get a lock on this BS thread before any more of this?

I have never heard it called anything except the "Triangle Thingy", but of course, it could be a commie plot to undermine CAP, along with carbonated beverages, fluoridated water, and Amway...... ;)
