It rekindled childhood memories of listening to the Kate Smith radio show every school day morning at 9 in Miss Hinkle's fourth grade class. It was the best part of the day, not counting baseball at recess. It included a wrap-up of the day's news, and so fulfilled the Current Events requirement. But the show wasn't over till the fat lady sang. And did she ever, especially "God Bless America." Her version has no...

Do you remember when the latest Batman movie came out? What was it, The Dark Knight Rises? In Colorado, a guy shows up and shoots up the theater, and there were people that died in that massacre, right? Did Obama and the media blame the film? Did they blame the filmmaker? I mean, if there was a connection to the film, you could make a great case that this wacko was affected by the movie. I wonder what woulda happened if Obama woulda said in the aftermath of that...

I was aghast, then a ringtone commercial about an elephant breaking wind. I was offended,” Goldthwait told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “So this is a...

Instead, they wanted students to say, “We love the USA.” Many parents were not happy with this move, but some agreed that the principal did the right thing. The school decided that they would pull the song from the assembly all together instead of continuing a debate about it. Michael Graham, a conservative radio talk show host with WTKK in Massachusetts, joined Martha MacCallum on America’s Newsroom to discuss the matter. Graham disputes...

I don't know what compelled me to stick to the very end of this somewhat overproduced 'God Bless America' tribute. I was waiting for the video to end and as the camera panned across the room, I nearly fell to the floor, an eerie chill went up and down my spine.It was the Gipper. I was dumbfounded. In all the years I've never come across the slightest reference of him appearing in the clip, quite surprising considering the pomp and pageantry in which he celebrates his jingoistic pride in America.

The catch is that the discount doesn't apply to travel this holiday weekend. It applies to any ticket bought from Wednesday through July 9 for travel Aug. 21 through Nov. 12. This is in addition to the everyday 10 percent discount for military members and their families. The extra discount also applies to spouses and dependents.

In early 1940, Kate Smith, a fiercely patriotic American, and the biggest star on radio, was deeply worried about her country. She asked Irving Berlin if he could give her a song that would re-ignite the spirit of American patriotism and faith. He said he had a song that he had written in 1917, but never used it. He said she could have it. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2483386/posts#comment Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:13:00 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2403062/posts This Thanksgiving, my husband and I were deeply aware of the many things we have to be thankful for — chief among them being the fact that we are once again living in the United States. As most of you know, we spent 15 months in England, pursuing (but not precisely living) a lifelong dream. Those 15 months made us appreciate so many things that, as Americans, we take for granted. Freedom, for example. One thing I’ve always taken for granted is that if a civil authority (e.g., the police) wishes to enter my home, a warrant is required to...
