    Facts are always convincing. It's the Liberal conclusions drawn from facts that seem destined for scrutiny. Too bad each and every time they've been examined, their so-called logic falls apart.

    And it's the Particular Friends of Government Control and Depenedence (regardless of party) who is in error!

    But NEVER will be. Teaching that "Heather Has Two Mommies" and "Adam and Steve Get Married" is so much more in alignment with the leftist progressive communist agendas.

    So true. So that's where we must focus our energies... at the local school board level.

    We SHOULD make our presence known and that their "Overton Window" has been shoved too far left!

    great post IV and this is probably one of the more important things we must do.. get all the liberal crap out of our schools .. all the demoralizing and complacent attitudes about immorality, anti-God, etc.. and get some values and pride back into our kids...they will have no future if we don't do this..!!

    A Christian Socialist! There IS a difference!

    So, how come one of Socialism's goals is to destory organized religion?

    Not sure where you are going with the religious aspect. In the original pledge religion was not involved:

    I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

    But nataionalism is a mistake:

    Religious "socialism" is within the confines of a person's choice, NOT mandates by the government! Jesus never said the government must dictate how one should distribute their wealth! If he did, please show us!

    Red Skeleton would spit in the faces of liberals today for the disgrace they have shown this great nation of ours.
    Liberal progression what a disgusting idea.
    One other point I might make is that at that time our media was restrained from perverse expressions where today the liberal idea of freedom extends the liberty of using foul language to express one self.

    More likely he would spit in the faces of phony conservatives who plunged this country into an economic black hole. Fiscal responsibility, what a joke.

    We must have, because the reason Hitler was so popular and the Japanese Empire rose so quickly was because of extreme patriotism (nationalism). Without it, Hitler couldn't have become Chancellor.

    Please tell me you're not this clueless in real life!

    The German People didn't select Hitler as chancellor, Hindenburg did so!

    Oh, and since we're on the subject, WHY would the Liberal Magazine, TIME declare Hitler, Man of the Year? The Wall Street Journal certainly would not have made that claim!

    Hitler was appointed, only because the Nazi Party was becoming extremely popular with the rest of the population. Had Hitler never rose massive interest in the group, it would've never come to power.

    I'm not the one claiming that our patriotism is based on a sense of superiority of power, that helps but that is not my interpretation. We have the power to go in a liberate people from monsters such as Saddam Hussein and in more cases give humanity aid to destitute countries. The fact that we were such a power economy through the process of capitalism we could afford to be of assistance. Today's way of thinking is changing that attitude and people are now deciding that being successful is an insult to the rest of the world. I would sure love to interview the people of Haiti to see what they thought of our nation after the tsunami whipped them out. And why our president didn't allow our people to fly our American flag in their camp or anywhere will helping those people.

    Red was not blind. He was grateful for what the nation had given him, and he gave freely back. He was a part of the generation who experienced the Great Depression. We all should be so unselfish and grateful for the opportunities the nation has provided for us..
