American History

Here is the latest tribute, but I know this could stir some debate because every American has their own opinion of what our greatest moments are. Feel free to express your opinion.

I found this on Facebook and wanted to put it here to help the cause, I hope it's accepted in the right manner to which it is being offered........God Bless America!

A Mosque.........

At the risk of sounding like a biggot "which I am not", I oppose mosque building anywhere in the U S A!!! They have a country let them use it... Why is it that the other countries on this planet can't keep their people in it, if it was so bad in their country why do they come to our country and try to change the way we live, our rights as American's have been taken away because we have to be "politically correct" because we might offend someone!! I don't think there is any other country in the world that caters to American's the way we cater their people....

"An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger."
- Confucius

The opposition to freedom is emboldened by a president and administration that use lies, distortions and propaganda to advance their illegitimate policies.

Obama Comes To Dallas

Air Force One is scheduled to touch down in Austin around noon. He is to arrive in Dallas around 3:30 p.m. and depart by 6:35 p.m. The president's first order of business will be a brief tarmac meeting in Austin with Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who has called him a socialist, criticized his spending policies, and sued to overturn the new health care law. They'll talk about border security. After an event focused on higher education at the University of Texas at Austin, Obama will fly to Dallas for a dinner at the Highland Park home of plaintiffs' lawyer Russell Budd. Dinner tickets range from $10,000 to $100,000. If Obama presses the point on Bush's home turf, only a select few will hear it. Proceeds from the Dallas dinner go to the Democrats' Senate campaign committee, which has collected $2.5 million from Texans this election – less than half the sum Cornyn's side has brought in, a reflection of Democrats' deficit in Texas. 
Local Republicans have organized a demonstration featuring conservative radio host Mark Davis and Katrina Pierson, one of the nation's most visible tea party activists. The state GOP also is staging a rally at the Capitol.  
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, looms over all presidential visits to Dallas. But the city has a long history of the nation's commander in chief stopping by.

Israel & Lebanon Clash

 

Lebanese and Israeli troops traded fire along their tense border in the fiercest clashes since a 2006 war, with two Lebanese soldiers, a journalist and a senior Israeli officer killed.

Pulling Out

 

U.S. Army soldiers from 2nd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division are seen on board a C-17 aircraft at Baghdad International Airport as they begin their journey to the United States.  The move is reversing, over the course of months, a U.S. military presence that built up over seven years and dug in so deep it once seemed immovable. More than 400 bases are being closed down or handed over to the Iraqi military.

Isreal May Deport Illegals

Some Israelis complain that illegal migrants are taking jobs away from citizens. Others worry that the non-Jewish workers could upset the Jewish nature of the society.  Israel on Sunday approved new residency criteria that could result in the deportations of hundreds of children of migrant workers.  Under the decision, children of migrants whose parents entered Israel legally may remain if they are enrolled in school, speak Hebrew and have been here longer than five years.  An Israeli advocacy group, the Hotline for Migrant Workers, estimates 700 of 1,200 school-age children are at risk of deportation, along with their parents.
Oh my, another country who is tired of the same crap........!

Obama To Miss Jamboree

President Obama will make history as the first sitting president on a daytime talk show when he sits down with the ladies of The View. But he'll also be missing out on another historic occasion -- the Boy Scouts' Jamboree marking the group's 100th anniversary, right in the president's backyard.  Of course he doesn't understand patriotism, honor, and values the Scouts are known for. Add this to canceling the National day of Prayer at the White House. What a joke he is as president. Maybe the View will hire him as the only male on their panel!

Space Shuttle Lay Off's

The Houston-based United Space Alliance is a partnership between Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin that has operated the space shuttle fleet for NASA since 1995.  About 902 layoff notices were issued to USA workers in Florida, which is home to NASA's Kennedy space Center in Cape Canaveral that serves as both launch site and home port for the agency's three shuttles. Another 478 layoffs were issued for Texas, which is home to NASA's shuttle mission operations, with 14 more in Alabama, where NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is based. NASA's space shuttle fleet is set to retire next year after 30 years of launching astronauts into low-Earth orbit. The shuttles began flying in 1981 and have flown on 132 missions so far.

France Declares War

France has declared war on al-Qaida, and matched its fighting words with a first attack on a base camp of the terror network's North African branch, after the terror network killed a French aid worker it took hostage in April. The humanitarian worker had been abducted April 20 or 22 in Niger by al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, and was later taken to Mali.
The declaration and attack marked a shift in strategy for France, usually discrete about its behind-the-scenes battle against terrorism.  The Salafist Group for Call and Combat formally merged with al-Qaida in 2006 and spread through the Sahel region — parts of Mauritania, Mali and Niger. Officials suggest France will activate accords with these countries to stop the terrorists in their tracks.

North Korea Threatens

Clinton on Wednesday unveiled new U.S. sanctions against North Korea, blamed by both Washington and Seoul for the March sinking of a South Korean warship which killed 46 sailors and sharpened tensions over Pyongyang's nuclear programme. Clinton said it was essential Asian nations enforce the punitive measures to encourage North Korea "to take the steps it must" to stop nuclear development and seek real peace with South Korea.

The new U.S. sanctions target North Korea's ruling elite and build on earlier United Nations sanctions which imposed broad curbs on dealings with the North in hopes of persuading it to abandon its atomic ambitions. A North Korean diplomat  said the sanctions and plans for U.S. and South Korean large-scale joint military drills would be met with a "physical response."
It has also said it is concerned by reports that Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is seeking North Korean help to develop its own nuclear programme, which, if true, could open an alarming new front in the battle against global proliferation.

Joe Biden Fined

 

 Vice President Joe Biden is introduced by former Vice President Al Gore, right, as Biden takes the stage to speak at the annual Tennessee Democratic Party Jackson Day on Friday, July 16, 2010 in Nashville, Tenn.

Election watchdogs have fined Joe Biden's 2008 presidential campaign more than $219,000 for sloppy bookkeeping and accepting excessive contributions, including a discounted flight on a private jet.
