May God help us, as we cast off the return of tyranny, with the modern enslavement of the progressive movement.

At times I get irritated having to go out and unfurl my American flag which has wrapped itself around the flagpole. Then I think of the lives that were given gladly for the sake of that flag and what it stands for, and feel very ashamed. Great men and women shed their blood to create a nation represented by that flag, and I immediately hurry my pace to get out there and make sure Old Glory flies as she should. She is indeed a grand old flag.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-23062231207315780052010-07-03T18:42:38.387-04:002010-07-03T18:42:38.387-04:00And thank God they did, because the world is so mu...And thank God they did, because the world is so much better off because of America!MegaTrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234420338804013858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-63335927756726957542010-07-03T17:39:09.753-04:002010-07-03T17:39:09.753-04:00No, we don't speak like that anymore, and it&#...No, we don't speak like that anymore, and it's too bad. So many of the greatest rhetorical flourishes have become impossible today in the world "dude".<br /><br />I'm not suggesting going back because I don't want to have to speak like a 15th Century poet. But it would be nice if there was a little more room in our modern language for both!<br /><br />One of the things I really love about reading the classics, is that you run into these kinds of phrases that are just truly beautiful and moving.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-65432698407729303902010-07-03T17:14:39.764-04:002010-07-03T17:14:39.764-04:00Thanks Andrew - I think the most moving phrase in ...Thanks Andrew - I think the most moving phrase in the English language is "we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our fortunes and our sacred Honor".<br /><br />Do we do that anymore?BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-47632852646929540892010-07-03T16:55:13.453-04:002010-07-03T16:55:13.453-04:00Bev, An excellent reminder of the brave men and wo...Bev, An excellent reminder of the brave men and women who formed this country, and the courage it took to stand up to what was at the time, the greatest power on the planet.<br /><br />Happy Independence Day!AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.com
