Molson Coors wants to give its fellow Canadians competing at the Olympics a special edge. A beer fridge has reportedly been installed in Team Canada Olympic House in Sochi, fully stocked with free beer. All the Olympians need to do is have their passports.

I'll bet if this photo was taken today this little boy would've been snatched up by Child Protective Service for being taught to discriminate on the basis of color.Then they might notice the other stuff...

That is the opening and closing tagline to the Michael Medved Show. And it annoys some people. Whether true or not (and it's true), apparently taking pride in one's country and expressing it so blatantly and unapologetically is an offensive "no-no". At least to some. And those "some people" I am talking about are most assuredly somewhere left of center. While I did not find the Super Bowl Coca-Cola commercial offensive nor "un-American" like some Americans (remember the old "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" Coca-Cola commercial?), I do find this deeply un-American, idiotic, asinine, and blockheaded: Students...

Hey - if they can expel a kid for eating a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun, they are capable of any kind of idiocy. Fox News: Students and parents at a Colorado high school are outraged after administrators turned down their request for a spirit week day honoring America because it might offend non-Americans."They said they didn't want to offend anyone from other countries or immigrants," a 16-year-old member of the student council told me. "They just really did not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable."The student council at Fort Collins High School had proposed having...

A diet of bread and water is the punishment for dozens of Arizona inmates who allegedly defaced American flags placed in their jail cells. The 38 male inmates are part of the Maricopa County jail system, which is under the control of controversial sheriff Joe Arpaio. For their alleged unpatriotic acts, the sheriff said Thursday, they'll survive on bread and water for seven days. "These inmates have destroyed the American flag that was placed in their cells," Arpaio said. "Tearing them, writing on them, stepping on them, throwing them in the toilet, trash or wherever they feel. It's a disgrace...

When Team USA women’s hockey goalie Jessie Vetter takes to the ice next month at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, her mask will be missing something. Namely, the U.S. Constitution. The International Olympic Committee, citing regulation, has required the 28-year-old goalie to remove an inscription bearing “We the People” on a custom mask made for her. The mask’s artist, Ron Slater, told FoxNews.com that he believes the IOC sees it as “propaganda” promoting the United States over other countries – anathema to an event in which all athletes are regarded equally. “It ruffles the wrong feathers, I guess,” said...

No candidate is perfect. But here are some of the things that would be on MY list if I could design my perfect candidate for office. Candidates should believe: • Taxes should he lowered whenever possible and never raised unless emergency funds are needed to repel an invading army. • The federal budget should be balanced ASAP and then stay that way. • The federal government should not take on new debt. • The federal income tax is an abomination and should be ended. • A return to the gold standard should take place ASAP. • The U.S.A. is and...

Few things renew American patriotism better than a trip to New England. My wife and I had the opportunity to do that recently when we visited our daughter, who is working on a film project there for a couple of months. Although we had been to Boston before, we were reminded of the city’s realities even before reaching the bag claim area at the airport. This is the place where the notion took flight that simple colonists could recover their birthright of freedom by tearing themselves away from the oppressive rule of the British king and launching an experiment in...

Dr Garrow was recently contacted by a high ranking military official who implored him to reveal the truth about a “litmus test” that is being proposed by the Obama administration to the military asking the question “will you shoot Americans if they won’t give you their guns?” video interview at http://clashdaily.com/2013/11/civil-war-litmus-test-will-shoot-americans/#ciSxhe4KJWgFUdde.99

Going into the shopping season, any ideas for Christmas gifts that inspire patriotism -- for kids 6-12 years?

I just watched "Last Ounce of Courage" on Netflix...wow..absolutely beautiful! That's what I am waiting for from us - to wake up and fight. And they won because here is NO law that can stop us to fight for what we believe in - just intimidation. But for some reason intimidation works. We are letting it happen! If we could make sure as many American as possible watch that movie, may be, just may be we would wake up more of us and may be, just may be we could win back all those freedom that we lost and are...

Is the English sense of patriotism fading? According to a poll, English people are more likely to know the date of St Patrick's Day than St George's. Find out how English you are by taking our testEnglish people are more likely to be able to name the date of the US Independence Day and St Patrick's Day than St George's Day, according to a new poll. The survey found only 40 per cent were able to identify St George’s Day as falling on April 23, compared with 71 per cent who could give July 4 as the American national holiday...

We Europeans secretly admire the US. Sometimes, we fail to understand America though and on such occasions it feels good to label Americans as "ignorant", "materialistic", "uncivilized" etc. Never mind. Let's continue to run the World together, but contribute to it in different manners. Below, some few clips illustrating what we Europeans do better than any other part of Humanity.

Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski told fellow panelists Monday she thought that Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and Republicans like him don’t love the country because of their battles to defund Obamacare that she believes led to the government shutdown, drawing the ire of host Joe Scarborough. “That shows just how much they hate him and don’t love the country, and that’s what’s scary about this,” she said. “If they actually go through with this, this is about something else.” “Are you saying they don’t love the country?” Scarborough asked. “Are you saying they do? Ted Cruz and his group...

During Friday’s Sporting KC Major League Soccer game, technical difficulties plagued what was supposed to be a performance by Dr. Cameron Smith. His moment to shine was thwarted by a faulty public address system and two misbehaving microphones. So that’s when the fans in Kansas City decided to step up and deliver a rousing rendition of the song themselves. The result? As one person who caught it on video put it, “chilling.”

Runner Michael Bowen has finished running over 58,000 miles- one for every US vet who lost his life during the Vietnam War. Bowen, 65 living in Michigan has been running since 1982 despite suffering from colon cancer and having three surgeries on his knees.

#2MillionBikerstoDC should be trending. Despite being denied riding permits by D.C. city officials, motorcyclists from across the nation honored 9/11 victims and the U.S. Armed Forces Wednesday by rumbling more than 900,000 strong through the Capitol. The bikers reportedly wore name tags of the fallen. The military also showed their support in favor of the patriotic ride.  Marine salutes bikers in greeting! Got pic from #2MBikers Facebook page! So AWESOME! #2MillionBikerstoDCpic.twitter.com/13l1GvuVAf — singlemom411 (@singlemom411) September 11, 2013 The turnout easily trumped the “Million Muslim March,” which, as an afterthought, was renamed the “Million American March Against Fear on 9-11.” Only...

Defense Document Suggests Colonists Fighting British Rule were members of “extremist movement” (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained educational materials from the Department of Defense (DOD) depicting conservative organizations as “hate groups” and advising students to be aware that “many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.” The documents repeatedly cite the leftwing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a resource for identifying “hate groups.”

Take a look at the wacky mayoral hopeful’s top six flag-waving moments on the campaign trail. While his own flagpole may have gotten him in a lot of trouble, Anthony Weiner definitely isn’t experiencing an aversion to flags as a result. In fact, the embattled mayoral candidate can’t get enough of them.
