In just a month since its official launch, a new Web site MadeInUSA has signed up more than 350,000 U.S.-based companies looking to encourage consumers to "be American and buy American." Creators of the site hope to ensure that as many jobs as possible stay in the U.S. rather than be outsourced overseas. For 50 years now, Mountain and Sackett, a tie manufacturer with a plant in Long Island City, N.Y., has made ties mostly by hand. Some 50 employees, some who have been with the company for decades, stitch meticulously for 40 hours a week. They get health care...

Rapper Hi Caliber, who performed at the Taxpayer March on Washington, just came out with a new rap about the March. This should be the protest movement's anthem going forward. Conservative rapper, Hi-Caliber, the only rapper to rock on Capitol Hill at the 9/12 Tax Payer’s March on Washington D.C....

I was reading through links and articles about the kids singing to Obama (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2346764/posts) and came across this. I don't know who did it but it was incredibly moving. It takes a few seconds to start. Enjoy

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) on Wednesday said it was residents' "patriotic duty" to get seasonal flu shots in coming weeks to make it easier for health officials to determine if outbreaks are related to H1N1, or swine flu. If residents do not get vaccinated against seasonal strains and later get sickened by them as a result, there will be little way to determine if those falling ill this fall and winter have been infected by less worrisome strains, or by the more contagious H1N1 virus, O'Malley said. The governor characterized that scenario as serious because it could stress supplies...

Here is video of the "Political Grapevine" in which one of the stories was about the House of Representatives restoring patriotic music to their telephone waiting system. The music had been changed to a "smooth jazz" by the House Chief Administrative Officer, who reports to Nancy Pelosi. But they got so much negative feedback, they abruptly restored the patriotic music. The part about this story starts at 56 seconds left (if you want to skip the other). (Watch Video)

I seem to remember an excellent medley of US Service songs and other patriotic songs which were synced up to a sideshow showing pictures of the various branches of the military and other patriotic themes. It was very long but very well done and was on someone's personal site. If anyone knows what I am talking about it would be great, if not post some other interesting items for the 4th of July.

There is some great patriotic programming on TBN over the next several days. Yes, it's primarily Christian in nature, but it's all incredibly patriotic, Independence Day related, and some incredible history lessons as well. Hey, what's on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc? Enjoy!

Can anyone recommend some websites where I can download free patriotic music for the 4th? I'm guessing Susa, military marches, themes of the armed forces, that kind of thing?

What a difference an inauguration makes. It was only a few months ago that "dissent is the highest form of patriotism" was still the rage among the elite, liberal, "tolerant" class. But then Barack Obama became president. And now, suddenly, dissenters are paranoid, violent extremists worthy of surveillance by the federal Department of Homeland Security. Returning war veterans, who tend to be conservative and believe that terrorists ought to be called terrorists, need to be watched. Average working Americans who held polite "Tea Party" protests on April 15 against confiscatory taxes and rampant government spending — protests marked by a...

HURRY UP! It already disappeared once. Just put it up again but it probably won't stay long. Download if you can. Beautiful!

Cemetery Escort Duty I just wanted to get the day over with and go down to Smokey's. Sneaking a look at my watch, I saw the time, 1655. Five minutes to go before the cemetery gates are closed for the day. Full dress was hot in the August sun. Oklahoma summertime was as bad as ever--the heat and humidity at the same level--both too high. I saw the car pull into the drive, '69 or '70 model Cadillac Deville, looked factory-new. It pulled into the parking lot at a snail's pace. An old woman got out so slow I thought...

About one hour remains until the Senate votes on the Porkulus Looting of America Bill. Which means only one hour remains of the free America we were bequeathed by previous generations of patriots. We have done what we could, but our so-called rperesentatives, especially the blue state ones, refuse to heed the wishes of their constituents, and are set to approve a bill which will cement the doom of our beloved country. All that is left is a direct appeal to our benevolent God, to overlook our many sins as a nation and as individuals,to save our country, and to...

Joe Biden said last year that "paying taxes is patriotic." If that's so, Mr. Vice President, then tell us, are these individuals patriots? Tom Daschle Nancy Killefer Tim Geithner Caroline Kennedy

The 10 Big Lies About America: Combating Destructive Distortions about Our Nation By Michael Medved Crown Forum, $26.95, 280 pp. If your holiday get-togethers included a college student home for "Winter Break" fretting about professors preaching that America is land of inequality, founded on genocide and slavery for the benefit of corporations and imperial militarists -- and that all this Christmas stuff violates the secular founding of our diverse nation — I have an essential ingredient to include in a second semester care package. Michael Medved's The 10 Big Lies about America: Combating Destructive Distortions about Our Nation is a...

I’m an American. This has always been my favorite label, but of late even that has seemed to mean less and less. Being called an American used to carry with it a certain pride and esprit de corps that now apparently is dated and passe. How else can one explain the rash of America-haters in our midst who only claim pride in America if a Leftist resides in the White House, and can only back a war effort if the decision to go to war was that of a Democrat. I’m a Conservative. And I am also an actor who...

GOD SAVE AMERICA AGAINA popular new patriotic video that has been going around on youtube.

Remember when the left said that dissent is Patriotic? Well, I promise to be more Patriotic. Please allow me start now: IMPEACH OBAMA! IT IS OBAMA FAULT!!!! OBAMA IS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER!! OBAMA STOLE THE ELECTION!!! Illinois is missing and idiot! Help us return the idiot to the rightful owner!! These are my new Patriotic Battle Cries. Last night was a bad night. But today marks the beginning of payback time. Today marks the day I become more Patriotic in the left's eye. My dissent should make the left very proud of me. I will not allow a Fascist...

Please review this song video and consider sharing it with others. It's a very catchy tune, only 2:15 long, and presents a clear clean message.

WASHINGTON - Joe Biden wrapped Old Glory around Barack Obama's plan to raise taxes on wealthy Americans, saying the rich should be "patriotic" and fork over more cash. "It's time to be patriotic, time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut," Obama's running mate said on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Families United had a Patriotic display at the Triangle park today in St. Paul MN. The great thing was having Jon Voight come down and talk to the Gold Star Families and the Blue Star Families and thank them for being so strong on supporting the Troops and Their Mission. Mr. Voight was very strong in his works of thanks and his talking of how he was thankful of learning as he got older how his veiws have changed for the better.

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2008 – Servicemembers, veterans and their families going through problems related to deployments can get help from a California-based troop-support organization. Members of the group, called Patriotic Hearts, have developed a plan to help families navigate the sometimes-unexpected issues they may face when a loved one returns from the front lines. The plan involves working with spouses of deployed servicemembers to map out welcome-home parties, helping veterans find jobs, and hosting military marriage-enrichment weekends. “This three-point plan also addresses the needs of the military children, who endure tremendous stresses,” Mark Baird, president of Patriotic Hearts, said....

Dreams of My Arugula by JohnHuang2 So, the final returns from West Virginia are in and Hillary has defeated the Prohibitive Favorite, The Runaway Front-runner by a teensy-weensy 41-point margin. Oh, no big deal — for the fall election, Obama’s written off West Virginia and Kentucky despite his vow to campaign in all 57 states. But, as they say, Obama has the nomination math on his side — recently underscored when he bagged another coveted superdelegate, Ahmed Yousef of Hamas. Obama got crushed despite a week of ‘Clinton dismisses calls to drop out’, ‘Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase’, ‘Clinton should...

Left-Brain/Wright-Brain by JohnHuang2 The more I hear Jeremiah Wright speak the more I think Hillary should give him a raise! Jeremiah set out to prove he’s not a total racist nutjob and did a good job of proving he’s a total racist nutjob. First he had to tackle an interview with Bill Moyers, who took the gloves off with questions like, “When did you hear the call to ministry, how did it come?” and “What did you think when you began to see those VERY BRIEF sound bites circulating as they did?” Moyers then went for the kill! “What...

Deer Senuhter Bahrock — HALP! by JohnHuang2 It’s great to see Jeremiah Wright back from retirement now writing Obama’s speeches. Or maybe 20 years of ‘God Damn America’ sermons which Obama accidentally didn’t hear infected him anyway. If you’re Obama, you go into these towns like San Francisco, and like a lot of other places such as Berkeley and Madison, filled with deranged liberals, whose delusions fell through the “Gore administration” and the “Kerry administration”, neither of which actually happened, and each successive campaign has said that somehow liberalism is going to regenerate and it has not. So it’s...

In 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo officially ended the Mexican-America War (1846-1848). With the signing of this treaty, the United States gained control of what was to become the Golden West, including California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and parts of Colorado and New Mexico. Today, SKYY® Vodka, the number-one vodka produced in the United States, spoke out against suggestions by Absolut® Vodka to disregard that treaty, as well as the joining of Texas to the Union in 1845, as depicted in Absolut’s recent advertising. “Like SKYY Vodka, the residents of states like California, Texas and Arizona are exceptionally proud of...

Dems to Petraeus: Can we still surrender? by JohnHuang2 Democrats are desperate to hand Iraq over to al-Qaeda and Iran — change we can believe in! Nut Pelosi and Harry Reid have tried over 50 times to force Bush to lose the war for them, and failed. So desperate are libbies, they’re now busy concocting imaginary victories for the enemy out of whole cloth, just as they did during Viet Nam. Approximately 10 minutes after the crackdown on Shia militias began, the press proclaimed the crackdown had failed. Yet, if the goal of the mighty “Mahdi Army” was to...

BEIJING - China vowed Saturday to ramp up a campaign requiring Tibetan Buddhist monks to denounce the Dalai Lama and declare their loyalty to Beijing. But resentment over "patriotic education" has ignited protests that have left eight people dead in recent days in a southwestern province and could fuel future unrest despite a massive security presence aimed at quelling the demonstrations. The Tibet Daily newspaper reported Saturday that the government pledged to "strengthen patriotic education" especially among young monks to help them "become patriotic, religion-loving and law-abiding." "We should strengthen patriotic education so as to guide the masses of monks...

Al Gore should drop out of the race by JohnHuang2 According to one poll, 22 percent of Democrat voters want Hillary to drop out. The same poll shows 22 percent of Democrat voters want Obama to drop out — and these may be the same Democrat voters! The party’s honchos spent all of last week trying to get Hillary to drop out — especially before she sweeps Pennsylvania. They flogged for days the Bosnia story, complete with video showing Hillary did not have a corkscrew landing in Tuzla under a haze of sniper fire from Jeremiah Wright. Across America,...

Christ has died, Christ has Risen, Christ will come again.... "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself" (John 12:32) The Stations of the Cross, Background and History From the earliest of days, followers of Jesus told the story of his passion, death and resurrection. When pilgrims came to see Jerusalem, they were anxious to see the sites where Jesus was. These sites became important holy connections with Jesus. Eventually, following in the footsteps of the Lord, along the way of the cross, became a part of the pilgrimage visit. The...

Obama: I didn’t inhale the ‘Hate Whitey’ sermons by JohnHuang2 There isn’t a smidgen of evidence that he had denounced the nut preacher’s words before the firestorm broke out last week. And it is a fact that the pastor’s unpastoral bent for spewing madrassa-like hateful inventive and his penchant for toxic racist rants from the pulpit were widely known. Yet, we’re supposed to believe that he just heard about all of this last week, for the first time?????? He’s not being honest with voters. He is a liar. In fact, he is the most deceitful, unprincipled, unethical and loathsomely...

Monster-in-Law and the Mother-of-all Eliot messes by JohnHuang2 In keeping with the Obama campaign’s penchant for breaking new ground on incompetence, now they’re caught comparing Monsterific-Americans to Hillary! Speaking of monsters, Nancy Pelosi was so outraged, she stopped blinking. For at least a minute. The whole thing started when Obama foreign policy honcho Samantha Power told a U.K. newspaper that “Hillary is a monster — she is stooping to anything! You just look at her and think, ‘Urgh!’ The amount of deceit she has put forward is really unattractive.” The skank — Samantha, not Hillary — subsequently apologized and...

Obama harnesses power of Amnesia by JohnHuang2 As proof that ‘front-runner’ Barack Hussein Obama will finally be getting the hard questions from the press, the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz cited himself quoting a reporter from ABC News confronting Sen. Xerox recently with this staggering toughie: There’s “an attempt by conservatives and Republicans to paint you as unpatriotic.” But even after this bloodcurdling exchange, the ABC News guy, Jake Tapper, wasn’t through being barbaric to Obama!

Warning: PhotoGRAPHIC! by JohnHuang2 I thought Hillary would be easier than Obama to beat, then along came The Photo, which was clearly doctored — the suicide belt was removed! It shows Obama decked out in Muslim garb during his ‘06 trip to Kenya to interfere in Kenya’s politics. Whip out a red-states/blue-states ‘04 election map and see how many red states flip to blue because Obama looks cool in a Muslim get-up.
