For those who know, no explanation is necessary ... "For those who know,no explanation is necessary.For those who don't,no explanation is possible." Our "mission" in the Middle East conflicts is as vague as President Obama's stand on … ANY issue. There seems to be no goal, no clearly defined objective, and without that, how can those actively involved (or we) know if progress is being made? I'm sure I'm not the only one around here with military contacts, and this is the consensus of the opinion … Read More

But I soon discovered that the general had made his famous statement decades after the war, in a letter regretting that he would be unable to attend a dinner. And in a curious way I found that even more im … Read More

My Country, Tis of Thee

“Samuel Francis Smith wrote the lyrics to “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” in 1831, while a student at the Andover Theological Seminary in Andover, Massachusetts. His friend Lowell Mason, had asked him to translate the lyrics in some German school songbooks or to write new lyrics. Rather than translating the lyrics from German, Smith wrote his own American patriotic hymn to the melody completing the lyrics in thirty minutes. Smith gave Mason the lyrics he had written and the song was first performed in public on July 4, 1831, at a children’s Independence Day celebration at Park Street Church in Boston. First publication of ‘America” was in 1832.” (Wikipedia)

Full Lyrics from http://www.usa-flag-site.org/:

My country, ’tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Liberty
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From every mountain side
Let Freedom ring.

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills,
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet Freedom’s song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Our fathers’ God to Thee,
Author of Liberty,
To thee we sing,
Long may our land be bright
With Freedom’s holy light,
Protect us by thy might
Great God, our King.

Our glorious Land to-day,
‘Neath Education’s sway,
Soars upward still.
Its hills of learning fair,
Whose bounties all may share,
behold them everywhere
On vale and hill!

Thy safeguard, Liberty,
The school shall ever be,
Our Nation’s pride!
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with encircling might
All here are taught the Right
With Truth allied.

Beneath Heaven’s gracious will
The stars of progress still
Our course do sway;
In unity sublime
To broader heights we climb,
Triumphant over Time,
God speeds our way!

Grand birthright of our sires,
Our altars and our fires
Keep we still pure!
Our starry flag unfurled,
The hope of all the world,
In peace and light impearled,
God hold secure!

From the album “Battle Cry of Freedom,” this is the full version performed by the Robert Shaw Chorale. In indelible part of our American heritage. How abundant our heritage is!

Civil War … an Oxymoron if Ever I Heard One

21 Tuesday Jun 2011

Civil War, conservative, global v national, Human nature, liberal, WE THE PEOPLE

Tonight, as I prepare to shut down for the night, one solitary question simmers in my heart and mind. I’m struggling even to put it into words … but there is such a sadness. Obviously, I make no bones about being Conservative in my political leanings. Yet, this I know ~ It will take more than ANY one man or woman to heal the wounds of hatred that continue to rip through this nation.

“The United States Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American History, claiming more lives than The American Revolutionary War, World War I, World War II, The War against Switzerland, The War of 1812, and the Vietnam War combined. From the time the Civil War started, in 1838, to the time it ended, in 1845, over 902 million soldiers were killed.”

Civil War is different than other wars because it is a “family fight.” Other wars involved the warring of nations, one against another, while the Civil War was brother against brother, father against son, cousin and cousin.

I see the same thing happening today. We may not all be using traditional weapons, but contrary to the nursery rhyme, sticks and stones might break my bones but nothing cuts deeper than words. Our nation today is filled with a people, most of whom want what is best for all, yet differing in opinion on how to achieve that goal. The rift between left and right, between liberals and conservatives is growing more and more pronounced, more and more severe. When a major mainstream media station can cut “under God” out of the “Pledge of Allegiance” during a major athletic event, not once, but twice … And don’t pull the “separation of Church and state clause out either, because there is not such clause in the Constitution! What is actually says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Some believe our current President is thinking more globally than nationally – that he is more interested in global equality than in solving the issues and problems now overtaking America. It is hard to imagine this, and yet … the evidence is mounting. The drowning economy, the aborted energy battle, the physical wars in which we’re involved (WITHOUT the sanction of either the American people OR the Congress), the other issues of the US Constitution he chooses to ignore while both Congress and the media let him slide. Be that all as it may, the single more worrisome issue for this “Hope and Change” President, is the vile he instigates and propagates in his message of segregation. None of his promises to the American people have come to pass – None! The economy is even worse, the job growth isn’t, the dollar’s value is plummeting in the global economy. Meanwhile, he calls on us to make cuts, Congress is working to come up with a budget with the necessary cuts to achieve a balanced budget at some reasonable point … and yet what is our President doing?

He is the Most travelled President in recent history, AND he never misses his weekend gold outing! Well, I’m delighted he has his priorities straight.

My question: How much worse must things get before Americans wake up, and take back the government? How many more lies from Washington?

“It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” from The Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln, 1863.

Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs ~ A Political Contrast

12 Sunday Jun 2011

conservative, debate, decide, definitions, Human nature, identity, issues, learn, liberal, share, talk

I was working on an article clarifying the differences and positions of Liberals and Conservatives when I came across this piece. It is well done, and I don’t think I could improve upon it, so here it is. Consider carefully the differences. It seems to me that these days, this separation is more telling than the traditional party lines of Democrat or Republican.

The authors of the article preface the piece with these words, to which I wholly agree:

We all want the same things in life. We want freedom; we want the chance for prosperity; we want as few people suffering as possible; we want healthy children; we want to have crime-free streets. The argument is how to achieve them…

Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs

The only item on this list that I’d make a side-note on is the issue of same-sex marriage. While I agree that marriage has always been and continues to be defined as a legal, union of one man and one woman, I do not believe the government should have any say in what I do within my own home short of illegalities already on the books. However, I encourage same-sex unions supporters to create a word or phrase that will henceforth be defined as “same-sex legal union.” It’s about definitions and words for me, but that is an important point. It is not necessary to agree 100% with either of these stands. The key is FIRST, to define your personal stand. What do YOU believe? Then move in it. Find others with whom you agree. Talk. Share. Debate – respectfully! Listen!!! And learn!

Where do you stand?
