Video..Red Skelton's Pledge of Allegiance

Thanks Margie for reminding me of this oldie but goodie from Red Skelton's television and surely had no idea what he would now live to see.

A video which presently has 400.000 views at youtube and 2,375,697 where you can watch it to add to their count at: Causes; Bring Christ Back To Schools..

It should have at least a couple hundred million but my bet is half the children today if not more aren't even taught this anymore reciting their allegiance to Obama for cripes sake.

As for him, We know he wasn't taught it or certainly won't recite it since his allegiances obviously lay elsewhere than with us.

Great Uncovered Video: Ronald Reagan and James Dean Star in 1954 Live Broadcast

Little if ever seen Reagan and James Dean clip from December 12, 1954 thanks to Breitbart for finding this one....It's great stuff from 2 of the best Hollywood ever saw and ever will.

Breitbart.tv » Uncovered Video: Ronald Reagan and James Dean Star in 1954 Live Broadcast: "The Atlantic: Today, it's an astonishing, even eerie, scene: the icon of modern American conservatism, whose rise to political prominence was galvanized by the cultural rebellion of the 1960s, fighting off an attack-at-gunpoint by the quintessential modern American rebel.

But when 'The Dark, Dark Hours' episode of General Electric Theater aired live from Hollywood on December 12, 1954, Ronald Reagan and James Dean were just two actors yet to find the roles that would define them."

Mining Accident Information From West Va | Raw Accident Data

We all sat last week hearing news of a mining accident with trapped miners in China and then we hear with some relief that 115 miners were found and removed from the mine after a remarkable number of days following the deadly accident with officials finding only 5 dead after the mine unexpectedly filled with water.

Wonderful news except now they claim they cant reach some 33 miners still trapped there so the news isn't exactly as good as all had hoped.

However, then we then awaken today to the news of a mining accident here in W VA, yesterday afternoon, and right out of the box it turns out already 25 are reported dead with 4 miners trapped apparently, according to reports I've seen and read here first thing Tuesday am.

One of the miners was retiring in just 5 freaking weeks.

His story here from Matt Lauer who's the only one with this man's family...who claim now 12 hours after the accident NO ONE from the Coal company has bothered even calling them

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Oh and were is Obama while I'm thinking about it? Doing basketball final four interviews or generating some other useless propaganda ?

(just began at 8:45 am)

Here's some of the most recent mining accidents in the US and their victims from Fox News

Afghan war remains 'absolutely essential,' Obama says (the great Ozbama has spoken!)

 Why this war was deemed any more or less "necessary" or "essential" is beyond me, because the way I look at  it, any war a country engages in once boots are on the ground should become essential and it's number one focus period

Iraq, Afghanistan, whatever, they're both wars involving OUR men and women, and yet the liberals deemed one necessary because THEY said it is, while the Iraqi's even though their leader was an obvious threat nad we were in the neighborhood which doesn't happen too often and yet the Iraqi people were just "a waste of our time and a distraction not worth the effort" according to the left.

This is his speech to them earlier today in case you unfortunately missed it ....  lol, at least the troop part of it is nice to see the men and women get all juiced up their commander in chief showed up unannounced.

What other message did they send saying all that unneccesary war crap the spewed from day one onward?
So now that Obama's officially on the record as admitting we have a war against terrorists going on, which liberals til now have ignored and hoped would just go away on it's own, does this mean that the liberals will finally stfu when it comes to these terrorists to admit we're at war with these radical Muslims and to finally start supporting the troops AND THE WAR? If so it's about freaking time.

If they can't support that mission what will they support? Gay Lover's Night at The Officer's Club every saturday? Or the banning of "soap on a rope" so they gay servicemen and women don't get cheated of a view when the other soldiers accidentally drop their soap opening themselves to an unwanted sneak attack from the rear flank? Probably.....

I'm all for Obama when he visits the troops, until it turns into a photo op circus, and that goes for any politicians using troops as a campaign video footage, and before the left gets all excited that the troops love Obama, we can be sure the soldiers there are hand picked Obama supporters just like they were for Bush, and the ones who aren't don't wanna sleep in the brig for disrespecting the Commander in Chief, so this is what it is. 

Good to let them know that while he's destroying the country back home he's thinking about them while they are busting their asses nation building in Afghanistan, which Bush started as a war, and has now like Iraq morphed into hearts and minds crap and into a live training zone mostly with a live enemy to wipe out which has enormous benefits as they get practice fighting in hell on earth, yet getting the NATO and euro-trash to help is like pulling teeth from a toothless redneck. Even with the Messiah things in that department sure haven't changed much. 

But politics aside we continue to miss and pray for ALL their safe returns whenever the day comes they end this and call it a victory, which no one really knows what will signify that moment, when it actually comes.
Remember when Bush went to visit the troops under the dark of the night (which anyone not needing a full frontal labotomy would want the president to do when flying into a war zone) and they would moan and groan with asinine attacks and quips like this "beyond retarded" dumb ass and his totally serious comment I'll never forget: 

"our president is so hated around the world he has to fly in everywhere in the middle of the night under their radar"

DOH!!! It's a war zone you f'ng imbecile!! You may not believe it but I honestly caught that comment on a show and I've used it a hundred times on people so I remember it well. That's what many of the kids on the left think because they get their news from Jay Leno and that's not his fault. It's supposed to be comedy these people take it as reality!

That was when Bush first went to Iraq on Thanksgiving over the night, which freaked soldiers and Americans out of their shorts that morning, as it hadn't been done before in our lifetimes, meaning " a president appearing live in a war zone". Can you believe we actually have people like that walking around and thinking their OK and we're supposed to be the "frightening dumb fuc*s....!!!" God please please help us help them help themselves on that side..

Blackhawks Fans' National Anthem Celebrations Disrespectful Sports Tradition? - Video

Unpatriotic to cheer during national anthem?"

I am a Chicagoan obviously, and a patriot even before that. This pre game ritual  has been going on at Chicago Blackhawks games since 1991, a tradition that started during the first gulf war when we fans in attendance that day wanted to send a message to the soldiers and the world that we were all thinking about them and behind them 2000 %, and I know because I was freaking there that day and it was unlike any other sports moment I've personally experienced, that's for sure..

This is a video of that day and national anthem with Blackhhawks singer Wayne Messmer doing the honors as he always did, right up until he was robbed and shot outside the old Chicago stadium right in the throat of all places. He survived the ordeal, and his singing has thankfully for us mostly returned to normal, although he no longer does the anthem at the games.

I'm sure you've seen or heard this before but if not take look please before continuing.

The tradition has continued through today, and while some out there don't understand the background of it and the celebration of America that takes place before each home game ever since, most seem to get it, that this is patriotic gesture and nothing more. No disrespect is meant,  and I personally have no problem with it , but as usual,  some do and t hey talked about it on FOX news this morning

Mission Accomplished - Today U.S. Marines End Role in Iraq

A job well done by our fine Marines who wrapped up operations in Iraq today finally after 7 years, all come home hero's, and hopefully won't be the recipients of any abuse from liberals upon their return, as has been the case in other wars in modern times.

So finally this sign can be pulled back out again and we mean it this time.

U.S. Marines end role in Iraq

Conflict in Iraq- msnbc.com: "BAGHDAD - The U.S. Marine Corps wrapped nearly seven years in Iraq Saturday, handing over duties to the Army and signaling the beginning of an accelerated withdrawal of American troops as the U.S. turns its focus away from the waning Iraqi war to a growing one in Afghanistan.

In Baghdad, meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden held talks with Iraqi leaders amid growing tensions over plans to ban election candidates because of suspected links to Saddam Hussein's regime.

The White House worries the election blacklist of more than 500 candidates could raise questions over the fairness of the March 7 parliamentary elections, which are seen as an important step in the American pullout timetable." continued

Merry Christmas To Our Troops Around The World and At Home!

First thing,  this is an awesome poem tweaked for the military and read to " T'was The Night Before Christmas."...

A Soldier's Night Before Christmas

Terry, Proud Mom of 4 | MySpace Video
Secondly:

This is a nice op ed written to the troops I came across this morning from the East Ohio newspaper known as the Wheeling Register, which happens to be the name of the Illinois town right across the street from my home here in Buffalo Grove Illinois.

Please read it, pass it along and say some prayers if you believe for these fighting men and women who do so much for us day in and day out and frankly don't get near what they deserve for doing so, and as soon as we cure the cancer in DC my hope is more former military men and women will run for office in the coming elections

The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register "Throughout the Ohio Valley, the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is winding down. All over the Northern Panhandle and East Ohio, families are preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and to enjoy with loved ones what to many is the most treasured holiday of the year.

In another part of the world, not far from where the Christ Child lay in a manger two millennia ago, men and women we wish were home with us are preparing to observe Christmas in an entirely different way.

Those who serve us in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard cherish Christmas just as much as do we, their fellow Americans. But to ensure that we remain safe and free, they will be spending the holidays in faraway, often dangerous places.

For those in areas of conflict such as Afghanistan and Iraq, Christmas is far from a time to relax, reflect and enjoy. Our enemies in those countries despise the very faith that brings so many of us together at Christmas. They see the day as an opportunity to catch Americans with their guard down - anything but a time to celebrate peace on earth.

As you gather with your family on Christmas morning, American troops in Afghanistan will be on patrol with their weapons at the ready. As you sit down to dinner tonight, Americans in armored vehicles will be worrying about improvised explosive devices in Iraq.

While we sing 'Silent Night,' those who serve us in so many places will be praying for just that.

The military does all in its power to ensure that those in uniform enjoy at least some of the trappings of Christmas. Many will partake of special meals tonight and on Christmas Day. Many will open packages from home, either from families and friends or from the wonderful organizations that work hard to support them. And many will attend special religious services.

But they will be away from home, away from mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, daughters and sons. Tens of thousands of those who serve will be in harm's way while we at home reflect that, in large measure because of them, we really do have wonderful lives.

May God bless and keep them.

And may they understand that throughout the land they protect, one of our most fervent wishes is that they, too, have a merry Christmas."

We need people with honor and discipline in Washington and the Military is the only institution in America still turning out people with those qualifications because our schools sure as hell aren't doing the job, instead turning out Anti American and culture of death worshiping liberal footsoldiers.

May God please watch over these men and women in harms way and bring them home to America as soon as possible when their mostly humanitarian mission is completed with the victory and honor they deserve that liberals like we have today in power wish to deny.

Forget Congress, Sic Allen West and Sara'Cuda On Obama in 2012 / Viral video: 'Fight with me to take back America'

We need leaders like this 22 year American soldier and officer across this country kicking the crap out of these left wing, America hating, Saul Alinsky sycophants. This real man runs circles around that metro-sexual clown in the white house, and he's just getting warmed up.

Look at the diametric comparison between the two men as Allen West speaks of America and it's greatness,  as the affirmative action Elitist Obama speaks mostly of himself while being America's Commander In Apologies, and we knew all along it was a con job as he still refrains from verifying most of his life narrative to America since he was born, as the media rode that wave of bull right into the abyss we're falling to right now.

Viral video: 'Fight with me to take back America'

WorldNetDaily   ||    Allen West hasn't changed his core message since falling short in a run for Congress last year, but with the political winds now at his back, the retired Army officer's passionately delivered emphasis on constitutional principles of liberty, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense and free-market solutions is attracting an audience well beyond Florida's 22nd district.

A video of his rally cry to the party base in preparation for a 2010 run has drawn more than 1.2 million views on YouTube.com

Army Master Sgt. C. J. Grisham

This week's Wednesday Hero is both an individual, and a group. The group we honor are the milblogs: the military blogs, spouse blogs, and support blogs who bring you the news and information you can get nowhere else. The information and news that matter to you. The individual we honor today is C. J. Grisham.



Army Master Sgt. C. J. Grisham has always led from the front, from combat that earned him the Bronze Star with V device, to doing right by the men he led. His honesty won him readership and respect, from the White House on down. Yet, when he stood up for his children in school, his command did not stand by him. You can read more at Military Times to get the full story.



Please donate via PayPal; or you can log into PayPal on your own, go to the send money page, and put in his email: dj_chcknhawk AT yahoo DOT com; or, you can send donations directly to:

Grisham Legal Fund

Milblogs have been a vital link in getting accurate news and information about the military, and military operations, to you. Today, many milblogs are gone and others are under attack from within and without. Today, you have the chance to imagine a world without milblogs, and to do something about it. Make your voice heard by writing your congressional representatives and others, and by making donations as you see fit.

The battle for freedom of speech and the marketplace of ideas is fought on many fronts and in many ways. Without your help, the battle may well be lost.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Wreaths Across America at Arlington in holiday tribute to fallen veterans

 CNN.com: "Arlington, Virginia (CNN) -- For Karen and Morrill Worcester, it's a campaign that blossomed out of a personal family tradition. But for the families of the fallen, it's a holiday tribute to remember the sacrifice of those who have given their lives in the armed services.

On Saturday, volunteers flooded the grounds at Arlington National Cemetery to take part in the annual wreath-laying ceremony sponsored by Wreaths Across America, a nonprofit organization born out of the Arlington Wreaths Project.

The husband and wife have been laying wreaths at the cemetery on their own since 1992, inspired by a visit Morrill paid to the landmark when he was a boy. Wreaths Across America began laying the decoration in 2006 and now places red-ribboned fir wreaths on veterans' gravestones across the country."  continued
