This is great. Rush played it in it’s entirety on his show yesterday. I had never heard it before.

I always love hearing Red do it. I also like to hear John Wayne recite his America piece.

Thanks for the post. I grew up watching Red Skelton, on the little black & white tv, getting the signal across the airwaves. Things have changed a lot since then.

Not only have the enemies of freedom been removing ‘under god’ from school. They’ve come into our state and local governments, and into our communities, trying to create the ‘kind of community’ they want - restricting our rights. Compare today to those days - we need government permission for so many things. Building a deck, putting up a fence, building a house, buying a gun, having a dog, a myriad of little things that used to be simple freedoms. And they want more - they want to control what you grow (native plants), what you cut (requiring removal of “invasives”, forbidding cutting of native trees), whether motorized vehicles or horses traverse the land, what size your house is, how much energy you use, the list is endless.

They’ve been working at all these restrictions for decades at the local level, but since they can’t get every community to buy in, they are working at the state level. PA went for state-wide building codes a couple years ago, prompted by a single horrible developer in the Pocono's - those codes have opened the door for government inspection of premises in every part of the state. The state can change the code anytime, expanding from purely safety issues (proper footers) to anything else they slip in with the omnibus bills at the end of a session. A number of other states have state-wide restrictions as well, and more will as radical environmental organizations lobby for them as a tool to get “environmental protection”.

We’re under attack from within by those who would take our freedom, and from without by the Islamists who would take our freedom. Today is the day to reconfirm our belief in individual freedom and individual rights, and to vow to fight it on every front!

For which it stands One Nation - - One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.

I wonder when he did this? I note how he left off the phrase "under God". It doesn't look intentional since he does reference God.

I find it disgusting that the hollyweirdos of today seem to think this country owes them something. They use their fame to badmouth the US too often. Of course there are a few who stand behind old glory. Does anyone have a list of patriotic actors/actresses? I know Bruce Willis and a couple others are.

Thanks so much for posting this. I heard Rush read it yesterday, but I’m thrilled to now also have it in print.
