Our Next Greatest Generation – Don’t Give Up Hope

August 23rd, 2010

The Battle Hymn of the Republic

I think this is my all time favorite patriotic song, and as a hymn, it ranks almost at the top of the list. There is maybe on or two that can supersede it… but this is amazing!

Watch the video, read the blog post, but please keep this in mind…

What is striking to me is that there is not a single person involved in the production–the choir, the band–who is more than 18 years old, except for the directors, and some of them are 10 or 11. The moral of which is: if they haven’t given up, why should you?

God save the United States, God save the president, God save its citizens!

School Group Told Not To Pray On U. S. Supreme Court Steps

August 13th, 2010

Another story that shows the mettle of our Next Greatest Generation.

This reprehensible act occurred earlier this year in May. A small school group bowed their heads to say a prayer on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. They were approached by a police officer and told…

“Ma’am, I’m not going to tell you that you can’t pray, but you can’t do it here,” he said, according to Mrs. Rigo. “Please go somewhere else.”

Is this not chilling?

The First Amendment is almost completely done in. Once the newspapers are bailed out, where will you get your news?

2 Months After Students Silenced, Crack NBC Washington Bureau Breaks the Story

August 12th, 2010

2 months after some of our Next Greatest Generation were caught in an act of alleged “civil disobedience,” NBC got the scoop!

Sadly, why is singing the U.S. National Anthem a demonstration? Furthermore, why are there “completely content neutral” areas in any U.S. National Park? And then that begs a really OBVIOUS question… isn’t that oxymoronic?

But then the journalist, probably a college graduate, is most likely a moral relativist, and may not understand the issues involved.

Sigh! There is no such thing as a free press in corporate-controlled newsrooms. Truth is what the state says is true, when it says it is true.

Our Next Greatest Generation! – Security Stifles National Anthem at Lincoln Memorial?

July 1st, 2010

 

June 25, 2010 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Students attending Young America’s Foundation’s High School Leadership Conference were shocked when they were asked by security to stop singing the National Anthem on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Seriously?

Sean Balcomb, a Young America’s Foundation participant at the event said, “I didn’t know there was a volume limit for our National Anthem at a national monument, especially on such an important day in our great nation’s history.”

The song was offered as a tribute to veterans on the anniversary of the start of hostilities in the Korean War.

What do you do when your freedom is curtailed? Do what these proud patriots did when told to stop singing the Star Spangled Banner! Sing it again, LOUDER!

My hat is off to these patriots and future leaders! You gave me a glimmer of hope today!
