OBAMA USES MEMORIAL DAY TO THROW MUD ON THE VIETNAM WALL AND ALL WHO SERVED

http://dancingczars.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/obama-uses-memorial-day-to-throw-mud-on-the-vietnam-wall-and-all-who-served/

Too bad there aren't millions of us descending on DC to collectively SPIT. at a predetermined time.

The Million Spits March.

Silly me.

REMEMBER OUR LOST SOLDIERS AND THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY THIS MEMORIAL DAY - WHAT THEY GAVE AND WHAT IT WAS FOR

Flags

NWG 04 

Tiny flags adorn the roadway,

Snapping proudly in the breeze.

There is bunting on the houses,

Yellow ribbons in the trees.

There are smiles on all the faces,

Our troops are coming back.

They've been half the world away,

In the deserts of Iraq.

They went when duty called them,

As others have before,

To keep Old Glory flying,

And the tyrant from our shore.

Like the Minutemen and Doughboys

They've been serving Uncle Sam,

As did G. I. Joe, the Roughriders,

And the Grunts of Viet Nam.

Throughout our nation’s history,

Generations heed the call.

Stepping forward bravely,

Our finest standing tall.

There is a price for freedom,

And the toll will always be,

Paid in blood and courage,

By those who keep us free.

So play the music proudly,

Put flags along the way,

Today, our troops are coming home,
God bless the U S A.

Many thanks to Wayne Garrett, my friend, poet and storyteller -

a proud son of the south and a veteran -

REQUIRED READING FOR "MEMORIAL DAY" - JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO'S "WHAT IF WE HAVE ONLY MEMORIES OF FREEDOM?

What If We Have Only Memories Of Freedom?

Andrew Napolitano asks disturbing questions about government preceding Memorial Day

By Andrew Napolitano

May 24, 2012 "Information Clearing House" -- What if Memorial Day reminds us of times when we had more freedom? What if freedom is dying right under our eyes? What if the memory of the past is more fulfilling than the reality of the present?

What if the federal government could write any law, regulate any behavior and tax any event, no matter what the Constitution authorized? What if the majority in Congress rejects the idea of limited government and views the Constitution as granting it blanket power to do whatever it can get away with? What if the constitutional prohibition on the government’s taking of life, liberty or property without due process of law is only for show and is not for real?

What if the House of Representatives seriously considered letting the military lock up whatever Americans the president ordered the troops to arrest, without charges filed or lawyers present or a judge presiding? What if the House seriously debated this idea of indefinite military detention of Americans in America and actually voted in favor of it? What if this unconstitutional monstrosity becomes the law and your right to due process depends on whether you remain with the majority, stay silent or behave properly? What if the Constitution’s guarantees are not guarantees at all, but are subject to the whims of whoever is in power?

What if the Declaration of Independence, which articulated the moral authority for the revolution against Great Britain, recognized that our rights come from our Creator and are unalienable? What if very few in government recognize the divine origin of human freedom and its natural integrity to our humanity?

What if the government only permitted freedom so long as it was exercised as the government pleases? What if the government rejected the basic values of every person’s right to life and liberty and property in favor of some collective good, where the government could arrest you without evidence, ration your freedom to suit the general welfare and take your property from you and sell it at a profit?

What if the government could hire thugs to keep you safe? What if it gave the thugs uniforms and badges and sent them to airports? What if it gave them rubber gloves to wear and told them they could touch you and your children and your parents however and wherever they wished? What if these thugs touched the private parts of little babies and old ladies and intentionally restrained those who have criticized them while the rest of us just watched and let this happen?

What if the airlines did a better job of keeping their customers happy and their property safe than the thugs did? What if the government spent millions of your tax dollars to advertise what a great job it’s doing? What if the government charged the airlines millions of their dollars for the illusory services these thugs are rendering? What if the government’s thugs never caught a single bad guy intent on harming a flight in America? What if the government’s thugs actually let weapons and bad guys onto planes because the thugs are dopes who have no competition, who can’t be sued and who won’t be fired?

What if the government found more dopes and dupes and convinced them that they should conspire to commit acts of terrorism? What if the idea for terrorist acts and the means for committing them came from the government? What if no real threats were involved in these games and no real weapons were used, just fake threats and fake weapons, fomented and provided by the government? What if the government created these phony crimes just so that it could solve them? What if no one was ever in danger from these government-created crimes, except those the government tricked? What if the government did this again and again and then boasted that it was keeping us safe from its own creations? What if Congress and the media and even the courts fell for this?

What if, on Memorial Day, we remember times that were freer than today? What if, on Memorial Day, when we think of those who died for our freedom, we end up recognizing that the freedom they died for is dying? What if it becomes fashionable for the government to ignore the Constitution? What if the Constitution dies because the government stops following it? What if, next Memorial Day, freedom is just a memory?

What do we do about it?

PAM GELLER'S ANTI-GROUND ZERO EVENT ON 911 INCLUDES THE UNINVITED

http://www.politickerny.com/2011/09/01/anti-ground-zer

All of you who felt the stab in the heart from Mayor Bloomberg's prohibition of first responders and others should attend this event.

What Bloomberg has done to this solemn event is pander to the Muslims. Frankly, I have no respect for American Jews who are liberal apologists to warmongering, anti-American, radical Islamists who would like to see all infidels dead.

If I were in NY for this, I would turn out at Pam's memorial to the lost of 911.

I hope you will consider it.

Remember the sacrifices that went into the building and keeping of America, today and every day.

The fight is never over. The war on our liberties and freedoms never ceases, and vigilance,
courage and action is the responsibility that rests on all our shoulders, not just those who serve.

OBAMA TO SKIP MEMORIAL DAY TO GO ON VACATION -

So there won't be any respect or honor to our soldiers - no wreath laid upon the tomb of the unknowns.

If everyone who has had a soldier in the family, and that soldier is dead or living, observes this holiday as a holy day of deepest emotion, then Obama needs a slap down.

He isn't going to Louisiana to aid Bobby Jindal.

He's going on vacation. With a eco-tragedy of unequalled proportion going on in Louisiana, which he has all but abandoned.

We need to impeach this piece of garbage (you thought I was going to say "shit", didn't you) and the sooner the better. How's this, military brass, sitting in the Pentagon. Doesn't it bug you a little?

A lot?

You send the kids out to fight and have their limbs or their guts or their heads blown off for drugs and oil in a war that hasn't been declared but you sent them anyway because Obama wanted them to go, and he goes on vacation instead of honoring our brave dead soldiers?

What are YOU made of?

Remember our sons and daughters who given their lives

for the ideals of liberty and freedom. Will this Memorial Day be the one we will remember as the time we lost our freedoms, liberty and our way of life to an unqualified, unverified bagman from Chicago? That very man is shoving socialism down our throats like farmers drenching restrained, powerless livestock with medication in squeeze chutes and driving us like cattle to the death of freedom and the proud Republic America once was?

We have very much more to worry about this Memorial Day than ever before.

God bless the Republic! Keep the sacrifice of veterans who fought on this land for our country fresh in your mind; and those also who we send abroad in the pursuit of freedom from oppression in the uniform of the rights guaranteed to all men under our Constitution; our warriors fought against tyranny and for our soldiers who will die today and tomorrow and in every day after as they fight what they believe is a just and righteous ideal against the tyrants of the world.

Remember our veterans and remember that you are a warrior, too. Freedom is not free.
