God BLESS America!
Filed Under Liberty and Democracy | 5 Comments
I don’t know what it is, just what exactly has spurred this feeling so strongly today, but I am declaring today an Emergency Memorial Day here at TBR. Perhaps it’s the fact that the “spiritual advisor” for a man that has an all too real chance to be the next American President is preaching a philosophy of “God Damn America” as opposed to “God Bless America” – and nobody in the MSM seems to care. Or perhaps it’s because I feel wounded in my soul by the disrespect some Americans show toward the Military (the ones fighting to preserve their very right to be disrespectful, BTW). Perhaps it’s because I know that with the coming elections the future of this grand experiment we call The United States sits upon the edge of a knife.
Whatever the reason, I can say with absolute confidence that, in some place and at some time, on this date in history an American died as a champion for Freedom and to further the cause of Liberty. And today – like every day in my life – I thank God for His Grace allowing me to be born an American, and I thank Him for and pay tribute to those that have fought and strove, lived and died, that this country and the ideals of Liberty and Freedom persevere – not just for Americans, but for the world.
Toward that end, I draw your attention to tonight’s the Glenn Beck Show (7pm & 9pm, EDT) where you will hear the story of… America (
Hat tip to Fury’s Fiancee), and America’s finest.
For SFC Stube and his brothers and sisters in arms who have given and continue to give, and to those who have given the last full measure of devotion, to and for this country and to all who love freedom…
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the USA.

In an ‘exclusive interview’ with KUTV in Wyoming, BH Obama declared that Hillary would have to be HIS VP and not the other way around. Just thought you’d like to know.

Sarah Palin for VP

Since our nominee is considerably less than what we had hoped for, we can only hope for a VP nominee that fits the bill. My nominee: Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska.

There is an excellent short essay by Jim Manzi at The Corner explaining the difference between conservatives and (note the small-L) libertarians, and pleading for Republicans to heal the rifts between the latter and social cons. As the social-con flip side to Manzi’s ‘middle of the road, but leaning libertarian’ position, Mr. Mazi’s essay is well-received. This is very close to the argument the people at the American Conservative Party website took before I danced away from their tune, but rather than take a hard line demanding I favor his libertarian-leaning stance, he eloquently makes the case that we find a way to till a common ground together. It’s this kind of rapprochement that will get the conservative movement past its current contentiousness and back on track.
