Is The United States In a ?Low Grade? Civil War?
2009-08-21 17:17:00 It is a chilling question and one that has been troubling me for about two weeks. I read the “low grade civil war” phrase as a declarative statement from a commenter on a news story about the Congressional Town Hall meetings and it has been rattling in my brain ever since. I’ve been wanting to post ...

233 years ago today, an eagle cracked its shell
2009-07-04 20:25:00 I’d always loved the musical, 1776, traveling in 1998 (when I lived in DC) to New York to see the Broadway revival with Brent Spiner as John Adams.

Pork is Now the New Patriotism
2009-02-07 23:45:00 From the New York Slimes: Mr. Obama called Ms. Collins and Mr. Specter, as well as Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, another Republican expected to support the deal, to acknowledge they were acting against pressure from their party and, one official said, to thank them for their patriotism in helping advance the bill at a critical time. Hat tip: Michelle. John Kerry as attributed by Mary Katherine Ham, Weekly Standard I’ve supported many tax cuts over the years, and there are tax cuts in this proposal. But a tax cut is non-targeted. If you put a tax cut into the hands of a business or family, there’s no guarantee that they’re going to invest that or invest it in America. They’re free to go invest anywhere that they want if they choose to invest I don’t know about yoiu, but I am not so inclined to let BO and Kerry redefine patriotism to fit there own partisan purposes.  Are you?

Patriotism and Bailouts

I recall a day, three decades ago, when a worker from Chrysler that I personally know refused to speak to my ex-husband because he'd bought a Subaru. Some younger people might say "How odd."

Snoping off another week:
2008-08-04 14:46:00 I received an email this morning and thought it seemed too "over the top" to be true. Soooo, I snoped it and sure enough, Barack Obama has removed the US flag from the tail of his plane and replaced with with his logo. Now....read carefully....I am not saying Barack Obama hates Amurca. I must, however, ask the question: With the rumor mills running full speed ahead about so many of his "eccentricities" shall we say, what campaign manager would tell Obama to remove a flag off of anything? I'm reserving judgment, but would love to hear your opinions.See the rest at www.AnAmericanFrontPorch.com

Barack Obama's Giving A Great Speech On Patriotism Now
2008-06-30 16:33:00 Senator Barack Obama's on CNN now this morning, giving a great and stemwinding speech on the meaning of Patriotism from Independence, Missouri, which includes this line: "Mark Twain said that Patriotism was being proud of your country all the time and your government, when it deserves it." My feelings, exactly. I think Republicans and fans of the current war and American aggression at home and abroad forget that. I don't have to support my government's decisions because it's part of America. I can question what my government does and still be a patriot. In fact, that's the real ideal of America. "True Patriotism," Obama said, "can not be forced or legislated."
