  • Twas the Night Before Christmas

    Twas the night before Christmas, and he lived in a crowd, In a 40 man tent, with warriors so loud. I had come into the tent with presents to give, And to see just who in this rack did live. I looked all about, and a strange sight I did see, No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree. No stockings were hung, just boots close at hand, on the locker hung pictures of far distant lands. He had medals and badges and awards of all kind, And a sobering thought came into my mind. For this place was different,...
  • Westboro Baptist Church to Protest Penn State; Atheist and Gay Groups to Counter-Protest

    11/11/2011 11:32:31 AM PST · by celticfreedom · 52 replies
    Westboro Baptist Church, best-known for picketing funerals of dead soldiers, is now taking its show of hate to Penn State - to protest the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal that has rocked the country and shocked the university. However, the divisive group's actions have united a divided campus, by inspiring a counter-protest by the atheist and LGBT student groups. On Saturday, Nov. 11, the WBC will be holding up its famously abrasive signs at Beaver Stadium in University Park, PA where the Penn State football team will take on Nebraska. According to the WBC website, "Penn State has the...

    I do not like this Uncle Sam, I do not like his health care scam. I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books. I do not like when Congress steals, I do not like their secret deals. I do not like this speaker, Nan , I do not like this 'YES WE CAN.' I do not like this spending spree, I'm smart, I know that nothing's free. I do not like your smug replies, when I complain about your lies. I do not like this kind of hope. I do not like it,...

    In just six months, the largest tax hikes in the history of America will take effect. They will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on January 1, 2011: First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for investors, small business owners, and families. These will all expire on January 1, 2011: Personal income tax rates will rise. The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which two-thirds of small business profits are taxed). The lowest...

    As the nation prepares to celebrate Independence Day with parades and barbecues, America’s veterans face a new tax on prosthetic limbs and other vital medical devices. The health care overhaul passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama earlier this year contains a new tax on medical devices such as prosthetic limbs, pacemakers, and wheelchairs. This tax, which its proponents claim will raise $20 billion over the next ten years, contains no exemption for the nation’s 22 million veterans. In fact, Senate Democrats specifically refused to exempt veterans from the tax. On March 24 2010, Senate Democrats rejected...

    Every dog must have a soul Somewhere deep inside Where all his hurts and grievances Are buried with his pride. Where he decides the good and bad, The wrong way from the right, And where his judgment carefully Is hidden from our sight. A dog must have a secret place Where every thought abides, A sort of close acquaintance that He trusts in and confides. And when accused unjustly for Himself, He cannot speak, Rebuked, He finds within his soul The comfort he must seek. He’ll love, tho ‘he is unloved, And he’ll serve tho ‘badly used, And one kind...

    What's the story on the President's choice to head the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)? Well, if you've traveled through airport security, blogger Erick Erickson says that you've probably been screened more thoroughly than this pick. Among other things, Erroll Southers, the latest in the White House's parade of unqualified nominees, is on record saying that pro-lifers pose one of our nation's greatest security risks. In a video from 2008, Southers specifically targets "Christian identity" groups and anti-abortionists as a homegrown threat. That's right. The man chosen to be first line of defense against another 9-11 is more worried about churchgoers...

    While we all have been following the Obama Administration's hasty legislative attempt to have the Federal Government socialize the US healthcare system, another catastrophe has been developing on the world scene upon which our Citizen of the World-Nobel Peace Prize winning President has yet to move in the defense of liberty. The United Nations has been quietly moving in multiple bodies to eventually prosecute Israeli Military Officials singularly and the State of Israel at large for defending herself in the 22-day military defensive response to Hamas, Operation Cast Lead. To sum up briefly, Judge Richard Goldstone presented his report to...

    In a letter to his wife Abigail, John Adams told her of the actions of the Continental Congress on July 2, 1776. "The second day of July, 1776 [the actual day the Declaration was signed], will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations,...
  • What about the abuse and torture NOT commited by US Soldiers?

    04/23/2009 9:43:55 PM PDT · by celticfreedom · 5 replies · 361+ views
    In August 1968, a program of severe torture began on [John] McCain.He was subjected to rope bindings and repeated beatings every two hours, at the same time as he was suffering from dysentery. Further injuries led to the beginning of a suicide attempt, which was stopped by guards. After four days, McCain made an anti-American propaganda "confession". He has always felt that his statement was dishonorable, but as he would later write, "I had learned what we all learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine." His injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his...

    Just take a look at these three major anti-life initiatives that were all announced on Friday afternoons this year: 1) Mexico City Policy Repeal- On Friday, January 23rd, President Obama signed an order overturning the pro-life Mexico City Policy. This decision was announced only two days after thousands converged on Washington for the annual March for Life. Obama’s reversal of the pro-life Mexico City Policy allows millions of your taxpayer dollars to fund international abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. 2) Rollback of Conscience Protections for Medical Professionals- On Friday, February 27th, the Obama Administration announced its intention to undo important...
