HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA … Happy Independence Day: July 4, 2011

HAPPY JULY 4, 2011 … Happy Independence Day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA … To the greatest nation, the land of the free and the home of the brave! Please remember this July 4th as you spend time with family and friends watching fireworks, and waiving American flags with deep feelings of emotional pride … Remember that so many have sacrificed and continue to do so to keep America free. God bless our troops and God bless our fore fathers who made this country possible.

I ask Americans everywhere today … Do you want to be “Independent” or ‘Dependent”? That is a choice you are going to have to make. This country fought a war of independence from tyranny and oppressive government rule. Tyranny comes in all forms and the losing of your God given rights is one of them. Never forget that.

Never more than since the birth of our great nation has the notion of “WE THE PEOPLE” been more important. For years we have allowed government to usurp their authority and take away our liberties. However, on this 4th of July I would like all to think about this great land and what made it great. America fights a war on terror for a reason. We the People want to protect our borders and our rule of law for a reason. We the People seek life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for a reason.

School House Rock … This just Never gets Old .. the timeless “Shot heard Round the World”

It is not government that enables you to do this … it was the unalienable rights endowed by our Creator.

The Declaration of Independence

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

Happy Birthday America … in 1776 “WE THE PEOPLE” fought a War of Independence against government tyranny … in 2011 we are faced with tyranny still from our own government. Be very careful America what right you give away. Those that were endowed by your Creator, should never be taken away by man and government.

Gallup Poll: US Military Veterans & Currently Active Military Duty Give President Obama Low Job Approval Marks

Oh contraire MSM’s Time mag Joe Kline (VIDEO), Obama hardly has a better relationship with the military than George W. Bush. Although the MSM would like to brainwash certain American “sheeple” into believing such nonsense exists. In the video above Chris Matthews and his band of libs actually try and portray that the military likes Obama better than Bush. What a joke.

On this Memorial Day 2011, a recent Gallup poll has some troubling news for Commander in Chief,  Barack Obama. It would appear that military veterans and those on current ilitary duty gibe Obama low job approval marks at 37%. So much for the MSM’s attempt of trying to BS the American people.

U.S. military veterans and those currently on active military duty are less likely to approve of President Obama’s job performance than are Americans of comparable ages who are not in the military.

These results are based on an analysis of more than 238,000 interviews conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking from January 2010 through April 2011. Respondents were classified as veterans/active-duty military based on responses to a series of questions probing whether any member of the household had served in the U.S. military, and whether the respondent himself or herself had served and, if so, whether the respondent was currently on active duty. Americans currently serving in the military overseas or on ships at sea would not be included in this national cell and landline telephone sample.

Maybe these low military polling numbers are the reason why Barack Obama actually decided to grace Arlington National Cemetery this Memorial Day with his presence. He didn’t last year.

More from BLACKFIVE with regards that Obama is more popular with the military than GWB … “So, no, Joe; I don’t believe this President is more popular with the military than the last one, and neither does anyone else with at least three firing neurons.” Check on the VIDEOS that obviously show the obvious, rather than a liberal MSM type pontificating the absurd.

Sarah Palin Rides with “ROLLING THUNDER” into DC & the Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Sarah Palin, ROLL, BABY, ROLL.

Sarah Palin, kicked off her Nationwide bus tour today, but not first without riding on a hog with “ROLLING THUNDER”. In the end, there was no controversy as Palin just wanted to dress in black, ride a hog and honor the memory of our fallen military heroes.

Wearing black from head to toe, the Republicans’ 2008 vice presidential nominee stopped at a thousands-strong motorcycle ride from the Pentagon to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Palin, who is mulling a White House run, was joined by her family.

Who wound want this to be on their bucket list? Riding with “Rolling Thunder” and honoring the memories of our fallen heroes on Memorial Day in Washington, DC. Does it not get any American than that? As stated at ABC News, the Rolling Thunder riders praised Sarah Palin’s participation in today’s rally.It is what the LEFT both does not understand and fears of Sarah Palin, both at the same time. Sarah Palin’s appeal is that she can hunt, fish, ride a hog and look perfectly normal doing so. Oh yeah, she’s a politician too. Sorry, it is not Palin’s fault that the MSM feels the need to hound the event with photographers.

ABC News’ Sheila Marikar [@sheilaym] reports: For the riders of Rolling Thunder, the news that Sarah Palin will participate in their national rally on Sunday came as a surprise. A welcome surprise.

“I think that’s wonderful,” said Gerri Tramel, president of one of Rolling Thunder’s Tennessee chapters. “Anybody that’s involved — Republican, Democrat, independent, whatever — if you’re involved with our veterans, I think that’s wonderful. Not just Sarah Palin – anyone that’s a politician.”

Watch the actual VIDEO from the Daily Caller of today’s Rolling Thunder rally 2011 with Sarah Palin, Todd, Bristol and Piper on Harley’s.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY – 2011 From Scared Monkeys

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

Mothers Day Poem:

M is for the million things she gave me,
O means only that she’s growing old,
T is for the tears she shed to save me,
H is for her heart of purest gold,
E is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
R means right, and right she’ll always be.

All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother. -Abraham Lincoln

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. – Attributed to Claudia Ghandi

Love is blind because “My mother started loving me before seeing my face” - Unknown

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity;
when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor
by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.  ~Washington Irving

John 19:26-27: When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” (27) Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

Proverbs 6:20-22 ESV: My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching. (21) Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck. (22) When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.
