To those Americans, past and present, who put their lives and dreams aside to travel to distant lands. To those that traded the safety and comforts of home, to battle not only the enemies of freedom but also fear, loneliness and harsh conditions. To those named and those anonymous who made the ultimate sacrifice and paid freedoms price with their lives. Those that returned in a casket, draped in Old Glory. Those buried at sea. Those that returned less than whole, mentally or physically. To the children who paid for freedom with a parent and the parents left to carry on. I offer my deepest most profound thanks. God bless you.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

Censorship, that most subtle tool of oppression, the tool of the fearful and small minded. 8/15/2008

IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

If tomorrow all the things were gone

I'd worked for all my life

and I had to start again

With just my children and my wife

I'd thank my lucky stars to be living here today

Cause the flag still stands for freedom

And they can't take that away.



Chorus: And I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm free.

And I won't forget the men who died

Who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up next to you

And defend her still today.

Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land.

God bless the U. S. A.



From the lakes of Minnisota

To the hills of Tennesse

Across the plains of Texas

From sea to shinning sea

From Detroit down to Houston

From New York to L. A.

There's a pride in every American heart

And it's time we stand and say



Chorus: And I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm free.

And I won't forget the men who died

Who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up next to you

And defend her still today.

Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land.

God bless the U. S. A.

Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land.

God bless the U. S. A.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."

Don't take life too seriously, it isn't permanent
