Our Heroes Died For This?
20 November 2008 | National Politics, Patriotism | 37 Comments
This is an interesting look at some Obama voters and their basis for making the decision they made on election day. I see the mainstream media did an excellent job of making sure voters could make an informed decision at the polls, as usual. Don’t take this to mean […]

To all my fellow veterans, happy Veterans Day.
To those who might not remember why this day was chosen to honor those who served, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the guns finally fell silent in “The Great War” now known as World War One. This day was […]

Are You Smarter Than A Citizen?
3 July 2008 | Patriotism | 16 Comments
MSNBC has a little quiz up that purports to be similar to the one given to immigrants seeking U.S. Citizenship, and I took a quick swipe at it. I got an embarrassingly low 75%, blowing through a bunch of questions without really reading them, and in once case keying on the fact that New York’s […]

Austin Haynes Steps Up - Now It’s Your Turn
2 July 2008 | Patriotism | 11 Comments
Soil and Water Board member Austin Haynes likes the idea of a spraypark in Manassas, although he doesn’t like the idea of having taxpayers fund it, especially when budgets are tight. So instead of griping about it, he’s raising money himself to have it built. Classy.
From my inbox this evening:

Remembering D-Day

On this day in 1944, members of the 29th Infantry Division, a National Guard unit from Maryland and Virginia, landed on the shore of Omaha Beach in Normandy and began the largest amphibious invasion in history. This was the toughest sector in Operation Overlord, a beach where the most casualties were suffered, requiring a level […]
Fairfax County: Illegal Aliens Good, U.S. Army Bad
28 May 2008 | Patriotism, Fairfax County | 23 Comments
This is way too good to pass up:
[This] just makes it all the more galling then while [Fairfax County] welcome people who entered the country illegally, they cry poverty when the Army moves in with thousands of jobs in tow. The message seems to be that the children of illegal immigrants are welcome to Fairfax […]

18 January 2008 | Patriotism | 12 Comments
Normally I don’t post on these “please pass this on” type of email, which all too often is a hoax, but the story in this is just too good not to pass along. I hope this actually happened.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I wish all my readers a Happy Thanksgiving. May your turkey be perfectly cooked, may the dog eat the cranberry sauce so you won’t have to, and may you be successful in keeping Uncle Elmer from picking off some of the turkey skin before the bird gets to the table.
But perhaps the best wishes […]

A reader referenced this video in one of the comment threads, and it’s too good to leave buried there. Now, for your viewing pleasure, may I present to you a video showing just who crossed the border, risking life and limb, in the searing heat, and who honor one flag […]

One of the most remarkable things we do in our American culture is inspire our young men to be heroic. Whether it’s the comic book heroes, how we look up to those who protect and serve our society, or the stories that are passed from father to son, we as a culture start our young […]

It Ain’t Cinco De Mayo, Folks
2 July 2007 | Patriotism, Manassas City | 38 Comments
This morning I ran across a business in Manassas that had one of those fireworks tents on their property, which are usually festooned with a multitude of American flags this time of year. This one was a little different. In addition to the American flags, there were Mexican flags, Honduran flags, and those of El […]
