John Wayne "America - Why I Love Her"

I have traveled around the world as an Army Brat and as a private citizen. I have seen how people in other countries live & suffer at the hands of an oppressive government.

The liberals who hate America should see the rest of the world first... before they spew their hatred. I'll tell you this... GOD MORE THAN SHED HIS GRACE ON AMERICA!

I challenge any and all liberals to show me a more blessed land than AMERICA! Don't bite the blessed hands that have fed you and protected you... think about it long and hard...

My father fought in three wars to defend this country and to guarantee the liberty and freedom for which this country is founded on to his descendants. I challenge anyone to walk up to be and bad-mouth my country. Things are libel to get very heated very quickly, I promise you.

America has the most diverse ethnic population in the world, We have no national religion, race, language, etc,. That what makes us so great. If we stand together nobody can defeat us, but if forces in this great land continue to divide us we will fall just as other great societies have in history!

Listen to the written words of John Mitchum as spoken by John Wayne. No one could have written it or said it better.

You ask me Why I Love Her?
Well, give me time and I'll explain.
Have you seen a Kansas sunset
Or an Arizona rain?
Have you drifted on a bayou
Down Louisiana way?
Have you watched a cold fog drifting
Over San Francisco Bay?
Have you heard a bobwhite calling
In the Carolina pines,

Or heard the bellow of a diesel
At the Appalachia mines?
Does the call of Niagara thrill you
When you hear her waters roar?
Do you look with awe and wonder
At her Massachusetts shore,
Where men who braved a hard new world
First stepped on Plymouth's rock?
And do you think of them when you stroll
Along a New York City dock?
Have you seen a snowflake drifting
In the Rockies, way up high?

Have you seen the sun come blazing down
From a bright Nevada sky?
Do you hail to the Columbia
As she rushes to the sea,
Or bow your head at Gettysburg
At our struggle to be free?
Have you seen the mighty Tetons?
Have you watched an eagle soar?
Have you seen the Mississippi
Roll along Missouri's shore?

Have you felt a chill at Michigan
When on a winter's day
Her waters rage along the shore
In thunderous display?
Does the word "Aloha" make you warm?
Do you stare in disbelief
When you see the surf
Come roaring in at Waimea Reef?
From Alaska's cold to the Everglades,

From the Rio Grande to Maine,
My heart cries out, my pulse runs fast
At the might of her domain.
You ask me Why I Love Her?
I've a million reasons why:
My Beautiful America,
Beneath God's wide, wide sky.

Astros Sponsors: Bank of America and CITGO

I was in Houston recently and visited Minute Maid Park to watch the Houston Astros play. I had not been at an Astros games in many years. In fact, I had only been to Minute Maid Park once before and that was when it had the name "Enron Field."

I like the park very much, and the fact that is was built on the site of a former train station is very nostalgic. I like the ambiance of older stadiums, and even though Minute Maid Park is a modern stadium, it had the feel of an older park.

As I was walking inside the park, I notice two advertisements that took me by surprise. The more I looked at them, the more I thought about them.

As I though more, I got mad. No, not really mad, but upset.

The two advertisements I saw were for CITGO and Bank of America. The CITGO sign was hanging high above left field. It was perhaps the largest sign in the park besides the Minute Maid sign that is located on the score board.

The Bank of America sign were small advertisements placed on the walls behind the seats.

What made me upset was the fact that these two companies are doing what they can to undermine the United States.

CITGO is a subsidiary of Petróleos de Venezuela S.A., the Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company. I have a problem with the prominence given to this symbol of a company closely associated with Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, a self stated enemy of the American people.
Bank of America recently started allowing criminal aliens to have a checking account, credit cards, and other banking services without a social security number or standard types of identification. Many, myself included feel this enables criminal aliens to prosper in our country while breaking the immigration laws.

I wonder why the Houston Astros would allow two companies which are so against American ideals advertise in their ballpark?

I have a few ideas and will expound on them in future posts. For now, think about this, post your thoughts and comments, and I will do further research on this.

Bank of America: "Enabler of Illegal Immigration"

This is the biggest crock of crap that could ever come out of the banking industry.

It was posted on NewsMax.com. I will NEVER do business with a Bank of America again!!!

My question is: HOW CAN THIS BE LEGAL???

Bank of America Corp. has begun offering credit cards to customers without Social Security numbers, typically illegal immigrants, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

In recent years, banks across the country have been offering checking accounts and even mortgages to the nation's fast-growing ranks of undocumented immigrants, most of whom are Hispanic, the paper said, adding these immigrants generally have not been able to get major credit cards.

The new Bank of America card is open to people who lack both a Social Security number and a credit history, as long as they have held a checking account with the bank for three months without an overdraft, the Journal said.

Bank of America tested the program last year at five branches in Los Angeles, and last week expanded it to 51 branches in Los Angeles County, home to the largest concentration of illegal immigrants in the U.S., the Journal said.

The bank hopes to roll out the program nationally later this year, the paper said.
