America The Beautiful

America, the beautiful, the place I was born,
I'll cherish till the day I die.
Where the bones of past heroes
Lie buried in the ground,
Who loved her the same as I.

Her mountains are so tall
They reach for the sky;
With prairies where the green grasses grow.
There's billions of trees where wild birds nest,
With creatures that flourish below.

That blue gold called water
With which we are blessed,
As raindrops or crystallized snow;
Changes to rivers and fresh water lakes
While the winds of our seasons blow.

There's the haunt of a whistle
From a lonely freight train
Racing on ribbons of steel,
With the harvest of farms and from the factories
Balanced in a box on a wheel.

Some cities have buildings
A hundred stories tall,
Concrete, glass and steel.
A statue in a harbor, a present from France,
Describes how, inside, we feel.

That flag on the moon
With red and white stripes
Proves our dreams come true!
America has the freedom of choice
To strive for those things we must do!

American Beauty


I have been ripped, torn, and spit on
Yet I have been praised and worshipped
My friend and I stand together proudly
I am known around the world and many men fear me

I am the greatest of my kind
and no one has ever defeated me
And no one ever will
I have been carried by many
From wee little ones to fighting men
to commander in chiefs
to mourning mothers

I can be little or large
My maker is long gone, but I shall live forever
Through thick and thin I shall persevere for I represent many
At times I am folded and other times I am burned

But my greatest honor is to be ripped
and used to help the one's who serve me
Forever shall I wave

Being patriotic to this country and loving it has absolutely nothing to do with sticking your head up a dictators butt, like people have done with baby shrub, and follow them to hell.

People need to have some INDIVIDUAL thoughts and deductions.

The great burning bush has lead this country down the toilet and we are not SUPPOSE to ignore it and pretend to love it.

America's Presidents



All American born
with names like
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln,
Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Reagan...
each one swearing
their allegiance to the USA
and to represent
"We the People"
under one God
for what they firmly believe
is best for America
and all Her citizens
with many having to do so
in times of war
and other national strife,
all for the preservation
of the American way of life.

They are America's Presidents
who deserve honor and respect
from even those who might disagree
with policies and more,
as each one served us all
out of love of country
and to keep Her free.

You 2 should try Mutual match, maybe you an find each other

Red Cross finds Bush administration guilty of war crimes........a secret report last year, the Red Cross found evidence of the CIA using torture on prisoners that would make the Bush administration guilty of war crimes, The New York Times reported Friday.

The Red Cross determined the culpability of the Bush administration after interviewing prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, according to the article.

Prisoner Abu Zubaydahwho said he had been waterboarded, "slammed against the walls" and confined in boxes "so small he said he had to double up his limbs in the fetal position."

The information comes from a new book written by Jane Meyer, who has frequently published articles concerning counter-terrorism in The New Yorker.

The book is titled "The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals," and will be released next week.

Mayer cited "sources familiar with the report" to explain the confidential document as a warning "that the abuse constituted war crimes, placing the highest officials in the U.S. government in jeopardy of being prosecuted."

The report was submitted to CIA last year and concluded that American interrogation methods are "categorically" torture that violates both domestic and international law, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow reported Friday.

Although the CIA had already admitted to the use of waterboarding, Meyer says in the book that several CIA officers confirm the findings of the Red Cross, including the other forms of torture mentioned.

Maddow called George W. Bush a "torture-approver-in-chief who has yet to be held to account for anything" and said that congressman Dennis Kucinich had reintroduced his articles of impeachment against the president.

Maddow questioned constitutional law expert Johnathan Turley about the development.

"The problem for the bush admin is that they perfected plausible deniability techniques," Turley said. "They bring out one or two people that are willing to debate on cable shows whether waterboarding is torture and it leaves the impression that its a closed question.

"It's not. It's just like the domestic surveillance program that the federal court said just a week ago was also not just a closed question."

When asked by Maddow if the chances are now greater that Bush will be prosecuted now or after leaving office by the international community, Turley compared the situation to Serbia in the early 90s.

"I'd never thought I would say this, but I think it might in fact be time for the United States to be held internationally to a tribunal. I never thought in my lifetime I would say that."

I knew when I mentioned even the red cross found evidence of war crimes it would kill the thread

Jimmy Carter.

LMAO...spacey your guilty.
put your head under this here hood.

mutual match, ehh??
follow your heart my dear hitler.
take it to the grave

So it doesnt shame you at all that the international red cross found evidence of war crimes and violations of the Geneva conventions?

So now we are resorting to name-calling? Classic neo-con response, if you can convert it, ridicule it...

Nazism has come to stand for a belief in the superiority of an Aryan race(sub.USA), an abstraction of the Germanic peoples. During the time of Hitler (sub. BUSH), the Nazis advocated a strong, centralized government under the Führer and claimed to defend Germany( sub.USA) and the German (sub.AMERICAN) people against Communism and so-called Jewish subversion (sub.MUSLIM). Ultimately, the Nazis sought to create a largely homogeneous and autarchic ethnic state, absorbing the ideas of Pan-Germanism (sub. GLOBALIZATION BASED ON AMERICAN CORPORATE INTERESTS)

remember...every time you point a finger at someone, you are pointing 3 fingers back at yourself.....
