AMERICAN PAEAN

Time again, old bugler Too swiftly came this dawn Stand tall and blow the reveille Our mantle we must don Blow loud and true good sentry Comes soon a painful chore Let all folks by your bugling know We’re Blue and Gray once more! Beckon bugler, high and low Make all heed fast your plea Crackers, Bro’s, Homeboys too Must stand for liberty! And show old glory, raised on high Proud bolt, though sad its worth Besmirched of...

AMERICA’S ICON BALD EAGLE OR PHOENIX

AMERICA’S ICON BALD EAGLE OR PHOENIX

America is at war I believe since JFK’s assassination. We’ve been under attack for 34yrs since G.

AMERICAN TERRORIST?

AMERICAN TERRORIST?

A few weeks ago we had the tragic destruction of the Francis Scott Key bridge, initial reports tending toward deliberate rather than accidental. If true – who did it? One argument says it was “white hats” since there was minimal loss of life.
