A true patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government : Edward Abbey

We need a new song for America . I'm tired and fed up with the song that is now being sung.

Here is the Cheney/Bush SONG FOR AMERICA ; The Plan is for the United States to rule the world. The overt theme is unilateralism, but it is ultimately a story of domination.

It calls for the United States to maintain its overwhelming military superiority and prevent new rivals from rising up to challenge it on the world stage. It calls for dominion over friends and enemies alike.

It says not that the United States must be more powerful, or most powerful, but that it must be absolutely powerful . ( David Armstrong )

This is a song that has created animosity from our friends as well as isolation, mistrust, if not hatred, from millions throughout the world .

This is a song that is self serving and arrogant and it's discordant tones are shrill and grating to my ears ~ This is a song of ego consciousness.

It's time for a new song which will elevate our souls and raise us up from our collective discouragement.

A NEW SONG FOR AMERICA

The plan is for the United States to empower the world. The overt theme is multilateralism but it is ultimately a story of altruism and social cooperation .

It calls on the United States to decrease its huge defense budget and instead of arming the world ~ educate and feed the poor and disenfranchised of the world ~ which is the true birthplace of terrorism ~ in the spirit of universal brotherhood.

It calls for strength but also cooperation with friends and enemies alike.

It says that the United States will be a candle of light to the rest of the world not by being the most powerful but , instead, by being the most generous and altruistic and , as such, empowering the world to finally surrender to our deepest urge to unite and cooperate with one another versus dominate and control each other ~ This is a song of soul consciousness.

Which one of these songs strikes a deep chord in your heart ?

Which one of these songs fulfills the words of Thomas Paine ?

Never had a country so many openings to happiness as this.

Her setting out in life, like the rising of a fair morning, was

unclouded and promising.

Her cause was good.

Her principles just and liberal.

Her temper serene and firm .

Her conduct regulated by the nicest steps, and everything about her wore the mark of honor.

It is not every country that can boast so fair an origin.

Which song will lead us back to those noble origins and fulfill our principled and virtuous destiny ?

Which song will we sing in November of 2008 ?

Which song are you singing ?

A Man Concerned About The Current State Of America.
Brad EvansA Man Concerned About The Current State Of America.

Ron Paul For All !!!

America is being undermined on many fronts. The one most eminent is our Bankruptcy. Fueled by War, Empire Maintenance, and Fallacious Spending of congress; The economic Overtaking of America will not be far off. The effects are just now becoming evident. We will be sold to our enemies rather than forced into submission.

Ron Paul is the only candidate running for president that has the vision of the founding fathers of this country ingrained in his heart. Core Character Counts. He is the only one in the field that I would trust my money and my family's safety with.

The honesty and integrity displayed by Ron Paul coupled with the message he espouses is the glue that binds the support together. The word could not do it alone and this is precisely why the media and the others are baffled. The Ron Paul Supporters Value Substance Over Symbolism. We fully believe that Ron Paul will follow his words as his record shows. He is not as the others with Pandering Platitudes.

The commonality with all Americans is the Constitution. This is why his support group can not be pigeon holed in to a specific category. We Are Diverse And Many. There is no singular stereotype that even comes close to the specification of the group.
