School of the Americas Watch counter-protest

http://www.tfpstudentaction.org/what-we-do/street-campaigns/fort-benning-call... -- On November 17, 2007, TFP Student Action participated in a rally called "God Bless Fort Benning," a counter-demonstration to the radically anti-American "School of the Americas Watch" annual rally at Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia.

"School of the Americas Watch" expresses solidarity with Marxist terrorist groups such as the FARC in Columbia and communist/socialist dictators such as Fidel Castro of Cuba and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

Student Action prayed the rosary, held signs, and passed out flyers at the "God Bless Fort Benning" rally.

The School of the Americas had trained foreign troops that went back to their countries & used the knowlege to commit crimes. That's my concern about the school.

TFP, i enjoy watching your videos. You all take a stand for God. Your fighting the good fight!

Separation of Church and State in the United States is the only America I will ever support. The Constitution: Freedom of Religion and Freedom from Religion too. How about an Amen to that?!

@lonelygirlI5 Name one policy that killed Jews. I am a history major and two semesters into my college studies my History professor was bashing the Catholic Church right and left. According to him the Middle Ages was a period of darkness and the cause of that darkness was the Catholic Church. Yet when I asked him if it was so dark then how was it that they started universities, hospitals, they invented the plow, books, libraries, pulleys, medicine... etc. he couldn't answer me.

@kuefstein It certainly does not make sense to compare them. I would wonder why some people think that every problem in the last 2000 years stems from the Catholic Church. Do I think that there were some problems? Yes. Do I think that the Middle Ages were an extension of the Dark Ages? No. It was a time of prosperity and the Crusades were a defensive war. The Eastern Empire asked the Holy Roman Empire to help them out so Urban II did what F.D.R. did in WWII. He helped out his ally.

[billyslo87]

@lonelygirlI5 No he did not. He said that he will have a Third Reich and he compared it to the Roman Empire. He would never compare the Third Reich to the Crusades. If he did then why did he kill over 3.5 million Catholics? The Cursades were over a good 7 or 8 hundred years before Hitler so it couldn't possibly be an extension of the Crusades. Why is it that many people, like you it would seem, think that all of the problems stem from the Catholic Church? And what makes the Crusades Terrible?

The "good Father Roy" The same one who likes Chavez as a "liberator of the poor people." The SOA Watch is a typical leftist ploy to undermine the good that is done by our military. These "good people" never seem to mention the 120,000 victims of Communism, many of whom were killed by the very leftist terrorists that the SOA is training people to fight. Could someone please put up the numbers. How many innocent people were killed by trained SOA graduates vs. by trained communist guerrillas.

Read the TFP statement linked in the "About This Video" box above and you'll find out.

Was Jesus "public and contemplative" when He drove the moneychangers out of the Temple?

[lonelygirlI5]

Wow, how did I know you'd say that.

Many say it ended 1580. Others have different

years, I suggest it's 20jan08.

1492, when Columbus sailed the 'ocean blue', the same year the muslam tyrant occupiers were forced out of Spain.
