A Fallen American Hero: Pvt. William Long

June 3, 2009 by GayPatriot

Here is the photo of a true American hero.  It isn’t a photo that is being run 24/7 on NBC, CNN, CBS or even FOX News.

Recruiters Shot

This is a man who, along with this family, volunteered to serve his nation in a time of war and paid the ultimate price on his nation’s own soil.  It is believed to be the first Islamist terror attack on US soil since 9/11.  And so far, President Obama has had nothing to say about the death of Pvt. Long and the shooting at the recruiting center.

Those who are honoring a doctor who aborted 60,000 fetuses need to see what a real hero looks like.

The American Liberal mouthpieces on TV and the internet have not only ignored the Islamist’s terror attack in Little Rock, but they seem more upset about the murder of Dr. Tiller than they did about the attacks of 9/11/2001.

Army Pvt. William Long – RIP

    The Religious Right Didn’t Kill George Tiller
    The left tries to smear ‘Christianists’ as akin to Islamic extremists.

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124398690567579389.html

    Within hours after the murder, every antiabortion group in the country denounced the attack….

    But if the reactions to the death of Tiller mean anything, the “Christian Taliban,” as conservative religious figures are often called, isn’t living up to its namesake. If “Christianists” were anything like actual religious fascists they would applaud Tiller’s murder as a “heroic martyrdom operation” and suborn further mayhem.

    Radical Islamists revel in death. Just witness the videos that suicide bombers record before they carry out their murderous task or listen to the homicidal exhortations of extremist imams. Murder — particularly of the unarmed and innocent — is a righteous deed for these people. The manifestos of Islamic militant groups are replete with paeans to killing infidels. When a suicide bomb goes off in Israel, Palestinian terrorist factions compete to claim responsibility for the carnage.

    Another liberal lie shot to hell.

    I think that we can safely call the victims of Tiller’s late term killings “babies” and not “fetuses” as noted in the original story.

    “Within hours after the murder, every antiabortion group in the country denounced the attack….”

    Every group? I doubt it, and if you bother to read their statements the more radical ones said as little as possible against the murder and spent more time denouncing Tiller.

    Pvt Long was murdered by sick thug, calling it an Islamist terror attack is ludicrous and as ignorant as attempting to blame Tiller’s murder on the “christian” right. Kind of stupid to condemn something when you’re doing the exact same thing. A bigot is a bigot, doesn’t matter what side they’re on.

    You want to honor Pvt Long? Then don’t be part of the ignorance that causes these senseless murders.

    I wonder how many of Dr. Tiller’s abortions were performed at the request of parents who didn’t want to risk having a potentially gay child.

    God Bless the family and friends of Pvt Long. Our prayers are with them at this horribe moment. I think the President should take a moment during one of his public appearances to honor his service and sacrifice.

    Nice post Bruce. May he rest in peace. It sickens me that Obama can’t spare any time from his schedule to ask the nation to remember Pvt. Long.

    It really does seem that an American soldier killed by a Muslim terrorist on American soil would be making a bigger splash in the news. Especially when the President is in Saudi Arabia, which was the home of the 911 terrorists. And he’s talking to the leader of Saudi Arabia, to whom he has previously bowed, promising better relationships with the Muslim world. Which bombed the Towers on 911. And is now responsible for the murder of this soldier. Hmmm. Now I’m really curious about Obama’s birth certificate.

    You said it, CattusMagnus. I can’t believe that all these days later, Obama still can’t say anything about his death. Yet he could hardly wait to say something about Tiller’s death. Incredible.

    June 3, 2009 at 10:25 pm - June 3, 2009

    A different Dave, you’ve got to be kidding me. An American convert to Islam guns down an American soldier because he doesn’t like what he thinks America has done to Muslims, and that’s not an act of Islamic terrorism?! What’s gotten into you?! You may be right on the gay marriage thing but you’ve dropped the ball on this one. BIG TIME!!!!!

    And to you, Pvt. Long: Rest in peace.

  12. gillie says

    June 3, 2009 at 10:59 pm - June 3, 2009

    So by the logic of this post and posters (especialy the logic of #10) you all feel that indeed Tiller’s death is compareable to Muslim Terrorism yet this time instead of a Muslim, its a Christian. So Christian terrorism is indeed a threat to Americans and must be stamped out.

    Therefore, you all must support the waterboarding, stress positions and induced hypothermia and other such tactics on members of Operation Rescue?
    Maybe we could detain all who we suspect might know a person who might have met Eric Rudolph too. Put them all in Gitmo!

    Would that make us safer?

  13. gillie says

    June 3, 2009 at 11:09 pm - June 3, 2009

    Further:
    Why is it that the right instead of simply admiting an error hides behinds such false equivalencies? Why are you all so intellecually fragile?

  14. ThatGayConservative says

    June 3, 2009 at 11:14 pm - June 3, 2009

    You’re a f*ing idiot, ghillie.

    Maybe we could detain all who we suspect might know a person who might have met Eric Rudolph too. Put them all in Gitmo!

    You proved Ann Coulter right:

    But the killing of about one abortionist per decade leads liberals to condemn the entire pro-life movement as “domestic terrorists.” At least liberals have finally found some terrorists they’d like to send to Guantanamo.

    http://www.anncoulter.com/

    I can’t believe that all these days later, Obama still can’t say anything about his death. Yet he could hardly wait to say something about Tiller’s death. Incredible.

    Would you believe almost $26,000 in donations to the liberals in 2008? Not to mention one of Clinton’s “coffee guests”. That’s why.

    Since you imply that these two tradegies are comparable, then you should support the same efforts and methods that you claim has made us safer.

    A different Dave (#3)

    Pvt Long was murdered by [a] sick thug, calling it an Islamist terror attack is ludicrous and as ignorant as attempting to blame Tiller’s murder on the “christian” right.

    Bruce wrote that Long’s murder “is believed to be the first Islamist terror attack on US soil since 9/11,” not that it is known to be the first such attack. So if your attacking people for jumping to conclusions, I hope you aren’t attacking Bruce.

    If you’re doing more than just fretting about assuming facts not in evidence, then you’ve taken leave of your senses. In no way is it either ludicrous or ignorant to think the assaults at the Little Rock recruiting center were Islamicist terrorism. Long’s murderer is indeed a sick thug, but he isn’t just that. He’s a sick thug who converted to Islam. We can’t discount the possibility that he saw his attack as an act of jihad.

    the more radical [anti-abortion groups] said as little as possible against the murder…

    Which doesn’t mean they didn’t condemn it as the Journal claimed.

    and spent more time denouncing Tiller.

    Good for them.

  17. Classical Liberal Dave says

    The American Liberal mouthpieces on TV … seem more upset about the murder of Dr. Tiller than they did about the attacks of 9/11/2001.

    It isn’t a matter of seeming more upset, Bruce. They and the American Left are more upset!

    Abortion is the greatest of the modern Left’s sacrament’s. Interfering with it is to them the greatest crime possible.

    gillie – If there’s an equivalence between Tiller’s murderer and Long’s murderer, please let me know which countries and groups host training camps and the mainstream religions that exhort its members to murder others.

    You might take time for follow Livewire’s links in #8.

    Obama couldn’t make much comment on Long’s murder right before another apology tour.

    Condolences to the Pvt. Long’s family and friends.

    Abortion is the greatest of the modern Left’s sacrament’s. Interfering with it is to them the greatest crime possible.

    …and never mind the fact that the Islamists want to interfere with abortion far, far, far more (in extent and severity) than 99.9% of Christians. That would be “making the connection”, which is not the Left’s forte… unless of course it’s making false-and-anti-American connections, like, say, blaming America for 9-11.

  21. ThatGayConservative says

    June 4, 2009 at 1:05 am - June 4, 2009

    Besides, ghillie, the logical conclusion is that if Christians were terrorists, you and yours would be falling all over each other to defend them. They would be “poor, misguided freedom fighters” who were “at the wrong place at the wrong time” etc. The very fact that we’ve seen nothing but the typical hate and venom from the left proves that Christians are not.

  23. CattusMagnus says

    June 4, 2009 at 3:57 am - June 4, 2009

    gillie,

    The difference between Tiller and Long’s murders is that one was an act of terrorism, and one was an assassination. Tiller was the only target on his killer’s mind and he didn’t shoot up anyone else in the church. Long’s murderer singled him out because he wore an army uniform. Long was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is not to diminish Tiller’s death at all. There is a huge difference between having it out for one person and having it out for a whole group of people.

  24. akminority report says

    June 4, 2009 at 4:44 am - June 4, 2009

    These are all tragedys – the abortions, Long’s sacrifice in serving our country, and Tiller’s murder.

    It’s way too easy to over simplify the reasons why these things occur and responsibility is shared not just by the perpetrators – but also the society from which they emerge. We are all responsible in some way or another. We all should choose our words and arguments carefully – realizing that we make cause irrevocable harm to others.

  25. The Livewire says

    June 4, 2009 at 6:48 am - June 4, 2009

    Beleived?

    nothing on the shoot up at the El Al booth in LAX?

    nothing on the foiled bombing plot in Ohio?

    nothing on the Ft Dix 6?

    While gillie’s dream of torturing Christians is amusing, in a sad, pathetic kind of way, he ignores that the bastard who killed Tiller has been disavowed by every pro-life group.

    CAIR? Crickets.

    Muslim Brotherhood? Crickets or they’re too busy packing for their White House invites to his speech.

    Hamas? Crickets

    Hezbola? Crickets.

    Tiller’s killer needs a speedy trial, and killed.

    William Long’s killer needs a speedy trial, then hung with a rope slathered in pork lard, then buried facing West. See? I’m understanding of other people’s religion. 🙂

    June 4, 2009 at 1:29 pm - June 4, 2009

    I was nauseous when I read that Tiller was part of the church that I’m nominally a member of.

    Of course the nitty gritty of their abortion stance still matches mine. How they could let him take communion, even with the concept of faith by grace, escapes a little ol’ Heritic like me.

  30. Peter Hughes says

    June 4, 2009 at 2:46 pm - June 4, 2009

    #29 – LV, it gets worse. That same church was the one that employed the BTK killer – as a church administrator. (What is up with THAT?)

    Also, just FYI – Dr. Tiller’s killer Roeder worked for the left-wing, Mcclatchy-owned Kansas City Star. So in other words, he probably had more in common with the liberals than with conservatives. (Crickets from the State-Run Media.)

    I would even posit that Roeder was indoctrinated more by his job than by anything Bill O’Reilly said. Nobody has ever provided concrete evidence that he ever watched O’Reilly even once, but the rumor turned into fact somewhere.

    Oh, and just to infuriate our resident libtrolls, here’s a nifty little item I picked up from when I visited Fort Hood this past weekend. It was a sign on the mess hall board:

    “Islamic Religious Services Will Be Held at the Firing Range At 0800 Daily.”

    Give me a full clip and I’ll be in the “amen corner” with them.

    Let’s hope the first supplicant is Pvt. Long’s killer.

    But don’t worry, he was a lone nut job… adDave said so.

  34. Tully says

    June 7, 2009 at 12:25 am - June 7, 2009

    Peter Hughes, your info is incorrect.

    That same church was the one that employed the BTK killer – as a church administrator.

    Wrong. Tiller attended (and died in) the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita he had attended for decades. Dennis Rader attended and was president of the congregation council of Christ Lutheran in Park City. Different branches of Lutheranism. Rader was employed by Park City as an Animal Control and code enforcement officer, not by the church. And Tiller’s service was held today in a United Methodist church that offered its sanctuary as being twice the size of the Reformed Lutheran Church.

    Dr. Tiller’s killer Roeder worked for the left-wing, Mcclatchy-owned Kansas City Star.

    Not that I have been able to discover, but Roeder was employed by a lot of people over the years, being apparently incapable of holding a job for more than a few months. In the six months prior to last Sunday’s murder, he had worked for an airport shuttle service, a party-rental shop, a convenience store and a property management company as a handyman.

    I would even posit that Roeder was indoctrinated more by his job than by anything Bill O’Reilly said..

    His long-term involvement with the Kansas Freemen and Operation Rescue would be the prime suspect areas for “indoctrination.” He is, frankly, batshit crazy.

  35. thestraightaussie says

    June 8, 2009 at 6:23 am - June 8, 2009

    Read this report in a British newspaper. It casts some light on the mental instability of Roeder. It also shows that my own instinct on the matter was correct:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1191199/A-moral-civil-war-The-truth-millions-Americans-believe-Dr-Baby-Killer-Tiller-deserved-die.html?ITO=1490

    As you will see, Roeder got a girlfriend pregnant, and she had an abortion against his wishes. I assume that it was Tiller who performed the abortion. Roeder had a mental breakdown after the abortion took place. He had a violent history. He was seeking out Tiller the baby killer for his own personal reasons.

  36. thestraightaussie says

    June 8, 2009 at 6:46 am - June 8, 2009

    It is not clear whether or not Roeder had a long term relationship with Operation Rescue. The link I provided has a lot of very useful information on Roeder. Whether you want to admit it or not, the man did have a mental breakdown at a certain point in his life. What comes out in the article is about the girlfriend who had an abortion against his wishes. This is the factor that caused him to want to kill Tiller the baby killer.

    However, this is a murder in cold blood and it is not due to mental illness at the time of the murder. It seems clear that Roeder was shadowing Tiller the baby killer and knew that he wore protection. That is why he went for a shot to the head. He chose the church because he knew that Tiller the baby killer was less protected when he went to church.

    I still find the location of the murder of Tiller the baby killer to be rather ironic. Since I am a Catholic and I am well versed in the Scripture, I find that I keep thinking of certain passages of the New Testament e.g. St. Paul speaking about what happens to those who receive Holy Communion unworthily. It is bringing condemnation upon oneself to do that. (I think the passage is in the first letter to Corinthians).

    What has emerged over the killer of Pte Long is that he was a recent convert to Islam and that he was radicalized. He went to Yemen and he was there on a false passport.

    It is not true to state that this is the first attack on US soil after the destruction of the twin towers. There have been several attacks that I have read about in your country. Amongst them was the Islamist who drove into a crowd of students in North Carolina, and there have been a series of shootings over the years. None of them seem to get as much publicity as something like the Columbine High murders. Also, there has been a string of bombings and incidents involving Army recruitment centres and that means that this is not an isolated incident like it appears at the present time.

    What I fear is that with the speech given in Cairo and a series of other moves since then, that the situation will get worse because the surveillance will disappear, and there will be another catastrophe that will be worse than the deaths on September 11, 2001.

    That fool has sent out all kinds of signals that tell the world at large that America is now weak and ready to accept Dhimmi status.

    June 8, 2009 at 9:45 am - June 8, 2009

    Just caught this, TSA. FYI, I’ve asked my sister (the pastor in the family) about Tiller and communion. Her silence is deafening.
