Happy 4th of July

This just blew me away. A former Marine stuns a tea party rally in Douglas County, Georgia.
A conservative talk radio host, Herman Cain, is answering quesions from the crowd when the following patriotic, God-fearing vet speaks his mind.



God bless our armed forces- the men and women who serve our great Nation.

I believe we are in serious peril; deep, deep trouble as our heritage, our traditions and our liberties face extinction from a godless, liberal onslaught. Concerned Americans feel threatened and isolated during these times. We can say "In God we trust" until the cows come home but what does it accomplish if there are no actions behind our words? When it is perceived that we are in full retreat we must first stop running. In the Old Testament the way to begin the process of regeneration is thus:

Isaiah 11:12
And He will lift up a standard for the nations and assemble the banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.

That is what that that gentlemen did in Douglas County; he raised a standard, a banner for patriots to rally under. Love of country is what binds us as a nation. Without that, we are merely another loose-knit social group that will be overwhelmed and engulfed by those who do share a vigorous national identity.

Know what you stand for. There are many diverse opinions that divide us; cling to the ones that unite us. Get involved! Vote! Volunteer to become precinct captains!

And pray for our Nation. In order for God to bless America, America must return to Him as the originator of our freedoms.

Why The DNC Waves The Flag

The Denver Post reports that the DNC has trashed over 10,000 American flags used in their recent convention.

This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story.

“What you see in the picture I sent you is less than half of total flags,” a Republican official emailed. “We estimate the total number to be around 12,000 small flags and one full size 3×5 flag.

”I’m not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags, frankly. But the Republicans are obviously questioning someone’s patriotism here.

The leaders and organizers of the Democratic National Party wave the American flag only as long as it suits them. Once they have assured themselves that they have assuaged suspicions about their patriotism, they treat the flags just like they treat aborted babies who are born alive...

Why didn't the convention delegates take the flags home as souvenirs?
