Great for Memorial Day presentations.

A 15 year old girl made this.

This puts to shame the output of a number of Hollywood producers

and/or directors.

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!

This film was made by a 15 year old girl. It is the hottest thing on the internet and on Fox News today.

Lizzie Palmer who put this YouTube program together, is 15 years old.

There have been over 3,000,000 hits as of this morning.

In case you missed it, here it is.

Watch all of it.......and, pass it on!!

Obama: "US Military is one of the finest"...WTF?

Scotty Starnes | May 30, 2011 at 8:45 PM | Tags: Memorial Day, President Obama | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-5ls

Who is better or on par with our U.S. military men and women? How can a dipshit of a President make a speech where he states...

"It's one of my highest honors. It is my most solemn responsibility as president to serve as commander-in-chief of one of the finest fighting forces the world has ever known."  

What other fighting forces does our dipshit-in-chief find equal to our military forces?

If we had more sheriffs like him we would really be in a world of

Happy Memorial Day from President Obama:

"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen
heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense
of patriotism is particularly strong."

If they are fallen, unless the president is seeing things, they would
be buried. If he is seeing things then he should resign.

Something different to remember on Memorial Day
As one who served, I used to despise conscientious objectors. Now, I see it takes a special sort of courage to say no to war
Clancy Sigal
Sunday 29 May 2011 15.00 BST

War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.--
President John F Kennedy

I lost a friend recently with whom I'd grown up. As adolescents, we'd shared enthusiasms, and death-defying leaps into Lake Michigan off the Adler Planetarium, and chased the same girls. He had a puckish sense of humour, sometimes ghoulish, the kind of stuff you laugh at only when you're 15. He could crick his neck with a loud snap, as if being hanged from a gallows, a party trick that revolted grownups but we thought hilarious. He could pick out a tune on a banjo on first hearing and sing political parodies of pop songs. As we grew up, we shared a history, not only of our acne-scarred, ego-obsessed selves, but something broader and deeper I best call antifascism.

We ran wild in the streets of Chicago itching for showdowns with anyone who disagreed with us -- we were young Communist fronters and couldn't wait to enlist or be drafted. In the middle of the second world war, it was patriotic to be a red -- "communism is 20th-century Americanism", went the slogan. Passion, not cynicism or detachment, was our deal.

With his death, I've lost a big part of the thread, a connection to the original meaning of things.

I'm not alone in this broken thread on Memorial Day.

If you're in the United States while reading this, try a little test: ask someone, anyone, what Memorial Day memorialises? I've queried several friends and none could tell me that Memorial Day, once called "Decoration Day", began in the aftermath of the civil war to honour the more than 600,000 dead Confederate and Union soldiers -- the deadliest war in US history.

Once, Memorial Day was a fairly solemn occasion when local communities lowered the courthouse flag to half-mast in salute to the "fallen", with jamboree parades to follow. In the 1960s, Congress changed the date to the last Monday in May so that people might have an extra day off on the weekend. Hence the current barbecues and shopping mall mania -- and national amnesia. Except for the boy and girl Scouts, who still place little American flags on grave sites in our veterans' cemeteries, like the one almost within sight of my house, and a few soldiers' and sailors' relatives who come to visit, the original meaning of it has fallen into dust.

Curious, this. Because the publishing industry continues to pump out torrents of civil war books to feed a niche audience with pop biographies of bearded generals and Pickett's charge-type battle studies. Historians continue to debate the core cause of the war, and movies get made like Glory, Gettysburg, Cold Mountain and Robert Redford's recent The Conspirator.

No matter, most of us like to go on a Memorial Day shopping spree, warm up the coals, pull out the cooler and slap shrimp tacos on the broiler.

I don't care how Memorial Day is spent, whether in a relaxed holiday mood or a visit to the dead. I've walked through the military graves at my nearest military graveyard, the 114-acre national cemetery near UCLA with its huge adjacent Veterans Administration hospital and old soldiers' home, full of sick and traumatised ex-combatants, and a homeless encampment of veteranos under the 405 freeway, a grenade's throw away from cemetery where some of their buddies lie under white crosses or stars of David.

Meaning no disrespect, but on this "war heroes' weekend", isn't it time to also honour those who have "fallen" in a different battle -- against the slaughtering wars?

Over time, my attitude to conscientious objectors and deserters has shifted. Once, I held them in contempt. But the Vietnam war, when I came into contact with war resisters, changed me. I saw then, and see now, that often it takes a different kind of moral and, yes, even physical courage to resist a call to serve your country in a war you believe is a crime, when all your family, friends, teachers and the vast American majority support joining up. When I was called to my war, I went with shining eyes and revenge in my heart and couldn't wait to get my hands on a .30-calibre machine-gun to wipe out those Nazi bastards.

But what about those "cowards", "traitors" and "slackers" who don't want to kill other people? They're an odd breed who count among their number such as Muhammad Ali, Mahatma Gandhi, Sergeant York, David Hockney, three US weapon-refusing combat medics who won the medal of honour, and the 27 Israeli air force pilots who refused orders to "track and kill" civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.

I continue to be amazed at the stupendous bravery of any currently serving soldier or marine who goes out on foot patrol in Afghanistan knowing beforehand that his command -- after spending $20bn on an "anti-IED" project -- still has no clue how to protect him from a cheap roadside bomb that causes 80% of our casualties. (On Wednesday, seven Americans on a single patrol were blown up and killed by an IED in Kandahar province.)

But what kind of guts does it take for war objectors, whether they're Quakers, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mennonites or secular, who simply don't want to kill?

On this Memorial Day, it might be a time to think about the outcasts who refuse to take life.

The Muslim Appeasement Continues...Hillary Clinton Release State Department Video Celebrating Muslim Inventions that fails to show any inventions

Your tax dollars pay for the Obama administration's Muslim appeasement. Hillary's State Department released a video celebrating 1001 Muslim Inventions. What inventions?

From the State Department:

I am delighted to send greetings to each of you at this year's "1001Inventions," celebrating a millennium of science and innovation in the Muslim world.

This exhibition honors the remarkable accomplishments of Muslims throughout history: from a woman who founded a university in the 9th century – to a 13th century inventor and mechanical engineer – to a surgeon whose writings influenced European medicine for hundreds of years.

Is founding a university an "invention?" Is being a mechanical engineer or a surgeon an invention?"

And, of course, we're seeing the impact of technology in the Muslim world right now – as young people throughout the Middle East and North Africa find new ways to use social networking to get organized and express their aspirations.

Technologies created by Americans, not Muslims in the Middle East. Stop wasting our tax dollars with this Muslim ass-kissing obsession.

Chuck Schumer (D-ipshit) pushes rationing health care for Seniors...wants one-size-fits-all payments for Seniors

As most of us have screamed since the Democrats hijacked our health care system, it's all about rationing health care. The group they want to ration the most is Seniors. Even Obama clearly stated that sometimes it's best to take the pill instead of opting for the expensive surgery.

From CNSNews.com:

(Commentary) - Sen. Charles Schumer (D.-N.Y.), appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press" today, proposed a reform that would ration health care for sick seniors by telling doctors the Medicare system would pay them a single flat fee for treating a particular illness as opposed to paying for the specific services needed to treat a particular patient.

The system proposed by Schumer would give health-care providers a financial incentive to withhold care from sick seniors because each and every service or treatment they provided would cut into their profit margin--or cause them to lose money.

Under the current fee-for-service Medicare system, Medicare payments are already so low that many doctors do no take new Medicare patients because it costs them too much to do so, or they transfer the costs of treating Medicare patients to private insurance holders by charging higher rates to them.

This on top of the fact that ObamaCare pushes more individuals into the already broken Medicare system.

Yet Schumer sees greedy doctors as Medicare's root financial problem.

"The root of the problem is a cost-plus system," said Schumer of Medicare on "Meet the Press." "When you're sick, the doctor gets paid for each service, each prescription, each pill, each test. If you were to tell doctors you get a certain amount of money to treat Jim Smith, who has a certain form of diabetes, say $10,000, every study shows that you'd save hundreds of billions of dollars without cutting benefits to people. That's what Democrats stand for."

They (Democrats) want to save money by rationing health care. That is what they stand for. Why else would Obama recess-appoint a pro-health care rationing loon to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services?
