I came across this comment in response to Peggy Noonan's article, The Divider vs. The Thinker, in the WSJ.  It perfectly coalesces into words the reason for the unease, fear and anger I think many of us feel about the direction our country has taken.

September 11, 2001 became the defining moment of my political life. All the never thought of lessons of patriotism taught by my parents and educators, and reinforced by a childhood filled with 4th of July celebrations, all the carefully chosen books, movies and culture I was exposed to crystallized that day. It was the moment [...]

Last week, a series of audio recordings were released by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) that detailed the aviation response on that horrible day. The New York Times has created a page that allows you hear the tapes with a rolling transcript. Kudos to them for doing [...]

September 11, 2001 - I was watching the 13" TV on my kitchen counter while feeding breakfast to my then 18 month old Lizzie Rose. She had just started attending "Center Base" class for special needs infants and toddlers at the nearby county MR/DD school. It was an incredible morning, my doors and windows open [...]

At Gettysburg, on the second day, July 2, 1863, the amazing battle at the place called Little Round Top:
On Thursday, July 2, 1863, Gettysburg's Little Round Top served as host to just one of the days many bloody struggles. Tremendous bravery by Union and Confederate soldiers alike clasped hands with unspeakable, misery-laced [...]

Happy (real) Independence Day!
America's independence was actually declared by the Continental Congress on July 2, 1776. The night of the second the Pennsylvania Evening Post published the statement:"This day the Continental Congress declared the United Colonies Free and Independent States."
So what happened on the Glorious Fourth? The document justifying the act [...]

Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah in Hebrew) is a national day of commemoration in Israel, on which the six million Jews, among them 1.5 million children  were murdered in the Shoah while the world remained silent. It is a solemn day, beginning at sunset on the 27th of the month of Nisan (May [...]

It is fitting that there were two US Flags raised that day when you consider the hell our Marines went through in the Pacific Theater of Operation in WWII.

The CIA version via YouTube.  I'll leave the comments to our readers, but one thing for sure, pictures are indeed worth a thousand words, and at the end of the day, Cuba under Castro produces nothing but misery.

How easy it is for these people to preach and push Marxist ideology for the American people and this republic ... especially when they have NEVER lived under Marxism themselves for one thin second.
Yes, anchorette, communism/Marxism IS quite different than what American kids are taught in school, on all grade levels and into "higher education". [...]

CBS: Gridlock? GOP Takes House, Dems Hold onto Senate
CBS's site used this picture to represent ... well, I'm not quite certain the hidden-agenda CBS is using here. Perhaps they're hinting at The House, since the GOP takeover last night, is somehow just a bunch of 'whites'? Considering, historically, more "minority" GOP candidates rode the wave [...]
