Confront your shame, and honor the heroes

TigerHawk points out the difference between the way our media covers a victim vs a hero.

All 4 verses

Oh! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.

Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep,

Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep.

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,

In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream

'Tis the star-spangled banner. Oh! long may it wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion

A home and a country should leave us no more?

Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved homes and the war's desolation,

Blest with victory and peace, may the Heaven - rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, for our cause is just,

And this be our motto --"In God is our trust."

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

They are your brothers, now and forever.

Words for Memorial Day from Milblogs:

 

Col. Nicholson USMC said. "They are your brothers, now and forever. Our brothers did not die in vain. They died freeing a nation enslaved for decades under the oppressive yoke of a tyrannical dictatorship.."

 

 

These words apply to all who have paid the ultimate price to provide freedom to the people of this world.

 

I do not claim to speak for all my fellow Americans - 

 

I am grateful for the freedoms I enjoy. 

 

To all my fellow veterans.

 

THANK YOU 

 

Hamas

from The Religion of Peace:

 

Hamas Wants Your Money!

This is Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Hamas terror group whom the Palestinians have selected to run their government.  He wants your money (unconditionally).	These are his people, the Hamas terrorists that have slaughtered hundreds of innocent people in shopping malls, cafes and even on buses.  They're holding Qur'ans.	This is an example of who they kill: Galila Bugala, an 11-year-old child of Ethiopian descent, survived by her parents and 14-year-old brother.  Haniyeh knows children make easy targets.

Ranger training was intense. Here I was among the best of the best - elite soldiers like Wright, and Pyle, and Bailey, rock hard mofos who were colder than an extra large Strawberry Frosty. There were even a few chicks soldiers like Benjamin and GI Jane, who I also wanged. We received training in advanced killing methods like neck-snapping and hand-to-hand spatula fighting. Although I was already buff, the rigorous training and wanging bulked me up to 145 pounds of rock solid death-bot.

FBI Searches Congressional office

Congressinal leaders are arguing that:

 

United States Constitution ~ Article I ~ § 6 ~ ¶ 1:

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place.

Protects them from a lawful search warrant.

But the relevant section "They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, .."

I thought that taking a bribe was a felony.

Also, this was a search, per a search warrant issued by a Federal Judge, NOT an arrest.

Once again, this administration shows that it is willing to go to the very limits of its authority to protect the citizens of this nation from ALL ENEMIES foreign and DOMESTIC. 

Random Rants

J MacBeth is a liar. (Blackfive, Milblogs each have several different ways of proving - he is a liar.)

The Dhimmis on the 9th Circuit have struck again, it is okay to 'role-play' Islam in the US taxpayer funded classroom, including saying Islamic prayers. - Michelle has the painful details. This had better be appealed to the US Supreme Court, so they can, once again, overturn the 9th Circuit.
But don't even think about 'role playing' any other culture (religion) in the classroom.


The blatant racism by sports reporters - Barry Bonds is not the home run king.. Hammering Hank Aaron is the all-time home run king. (755) Babe Ruth was dethroned in 1974. But the racist sportscasters have forgotten about Hank Aaron.

I don't care about who is mayor of New Orleans.

AMNESTY FOR ALL

Michelle,

 

I'm confused.

 

Mr. Specter, Pennsylvania Republican, and others argue that the bill is not amnesty for illegal aliens because they will have to pay $2,000 in fines before they gain citizenship.

So, we teach the illegals a lesson of how America is better than Mexico by having them pay a bribe for US citizenship?
