Cost Of Freedom To Every American
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte presented President Donald Trump with a historic gift Thursday at the White House.
Rutte presented Trump with an American flag that was on the first U.S. ship to land in Normandy as part of the D-Day invasion that occurred on June 6, 1944 during World War II. The bullet-riddled flag was purchased at an auction three years ago by Dutch collector Bert Kreuk, who later felt compelled to return the flag to the U.S.We are sick and tired of the left hating this country and half the people who live in this great country are supposed racist for living here.We love all Americans even if we disagree with the left but it is getting harder and harder to put up with their insanity and socialism they want.
For God sakes! People died for our freedom.
Love or leave it!
Read the rest at The Daily Caller.

Why Did You Do It? June 6th, 1944
From DR over at Maritime Sentry.
It cannot be said any better then when Ronald Reagan spoke on June 6th, 1984. Why did they fight on D- Day and why do they fight every day for our freedom today? Mr Reagan will tell you
We thank God for all who have served.

"Geronimo" I Ded
Interesting read.
CIA Chief Breaks Silence: U.S. Ruled Out Involving Pakistan in bin Laden Raid Early On | Swampland:
"CIA officials turned a windowless 7th floor conference room at Langley into a command center for the mission, and Panetta watched the operation unfold from there. As he and his team waited for McRaven to report whether bin Laden was indeed in the compound, Panetta says the room was tense. “I kept asking Bill McRaven, ‘OK, what the hell’s this mean?’ and when McRaven finally said they had IDed “Geronimo,” the mission codename for bin Laden, “All the air we were holding came out.” When the helicopters left the compound 15 minutes later, the room broke into applause."

Boehner, Sell Out Of America. Time To Drop The Republican Party
Can we be honest here?
'Historic' deal to avoid government shutdown - Yahoo! News:
"By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent – 15 mins ago
WASHINGTON – Perilously close to a government shutdown, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders reached a historic agreement late Friday night to cut about $38 billion in federal spending and avert the first federal closure in 15 years."
Obama hailed the deal as "the biggest annual spending cut in history." House Speaker John Boehner said that over the next decade it would cut government spending by $500 billion, and won an ovation from his rank and file _tea party adherents among them.
Time to start a new party. Anyone with me?

China To Take Over South America
First Canada, now South America.One small step at a time. Remember "Red Dawn"
China plans Colombian rail link to challenge Panama canal | World news | The Guardian:
"It is a dream that bewitched Spain, ruined Scotland, stumped France and empowered the US: a path from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans.
The ambition unleashed ruinous follies in Panama's jungles until the US finally finished a canal in 1914, an engineering feat that transformed global trade.
Now, almost a century later, China is envisaging a new link between the seas: a rail link through Colombia – a potential rival to the canal that would crown China's economic push into Latin America."

Letter Of Support for Walker Budget
The Wisconsin Patriot Coalition
For Immediate Release: February 14th, 2011
Contact: Dan Horvatin, 920.650.1260
Kirsten Lombard, 608.237.7034
Norm Reynolds, 414.529.2428
An Open Letter to Governor Scott Walker and Republican State Legislators
To the Honorable Governor Walker and Esteemed Republican Legislators:
The Wisconsin Patriot Coalition (WPC), a network of conservative grassroots groups from across the state, writes to you today in support of Governor Walker’s Budget Adjustment Bill Draft, LRB-1383, released on Friday, February 11th
.
Almost instantaneously upon release of the draft, Wisconsin’s public-employee unions reacted, making a great deal of noise about the recommended restructuring of employee benefits and contributions. In some cases, they have gone so far as to engage in falsehood, claiming that the changes would retroactively rob public employees of pensions already earned—outlandish since such action would be a direct violation of the state’s legal responsibilities. The public-employee unions are clearly and predictably displeased about the fact that collective bargaining would now take place only in relationship to wages and salary.
The WPC is similarly observing the current efforts of public-employee union leaders to organize an onslaught of protests against the proposed changes. We recognize these protests as a concerted attempt to bully Republican leadership and legislators into continuing to adopt an unrealistic point of view. Union thuggery and intimidation have no place in government. Our members, some of whom belong to public employee unions themselves, believe strongly that the proposed changes are not only fair and reasonable but also long overdue.
During these challenging economic times, individuals, businesses, and government must make difficult decisions. The Wisconsin Patriot Coalition expresses its support for Governor Walker’s Budget Adjustment Bill as a first step in moving our state back onto the path of financial prosperity.
Voters spoke loud and clear at the ballot box last November. As conservatives learned two years ago, elections do have consequences. This adage will hold true for future elections.
In this moment, however, conservatives have been called upon to protect the people of our great state and its
form of government. This is not the time to waver or be weak-kneed. There are those at the State Capitol who have become expert at pandering and caving in to special interests in order to save their seats. Do not follow their example. It is time to take the road less traveled. We supported your efforts in November. We encouraged others to do the same. We will continue to support you through this time of challenging decision-making. As voters we, and many others across this state, entrusted you with a high level of fiduciary responsibility. We sent you to Madison to rectify gross fiscal mismanagement. Supporting Governor Walker’s Budget Adjustment Bill, without modification or delay, is the right and best course of legislative action.
We now support you in your duty.
Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into thin air.--John Quincy Adams
Sincerely,
Wisconsin Patriot Coalition Member Groups

Obama Creates World’s First Superstate With U.S.-Canada Merger

February 8, 2011
In a shocking coup d’état said to rival Nazi Germany’s 1938 Anschluss (German for “link-up”) of the Austrian Republic, the United States this past week effectively took control of Canada creating what is being called by Russian diplomatic officials as the world’s first 21st Century “Superstate”.
The United States announcement of this “merger” between these two North American nations was made February 4th by a posting on the WhiteHouse.Gov website of President Obama and which, in part, says:
This from the White House Press Release
Joint Statement by President Obama and Prime Minister Harper of Canada on Regulatory Cooperation | The White House:
They have directed that the first meeting of the RCC be convened within 90 days by the relevant agencies in the United States and Canada.
The President and the Prime Minister have taken this initiative because they believe that their citizens deserve smarter, more effective approaches to regulation that enhance the economic competitiveness and well-being of the United States and Canada, while maintaining high standards of public health and safety and environmental protection. Improving regulatory cooperation and adopting compatible approaches will lead to greater prosperity on both sides of the border and will in no way diminish the sovereignty of either the United States or Canada or the ability of either country to carry out its regulatory functions according to its domestic and legal policy requirements.
And this from the Star in Canada.
Canada kept U.S. border talks under wraps: document
Les Whittington and Tonda MacCharles
Ottawa Bureau
OTTAWA—The federal government deliberately kept negotiations on a border deal with Washington secret while it planned ways to massage public opinion in favour of the pact, according to a confidential communications strategy.
The 14-page public relations document recommended that talks keep a “low public profile” in the months leading up to the announcement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama. At the same time, the government would secretly engage “stakeholders” — interested parties such as big business groups and others — in a way that respected “the confidentiality of the announcement.”
In advance, the government departments involved — including industry, foreign affairs, international trade and citizenship and immigration — were to “align supportive stakeholders to speak positively about the announcement,” according to the strategy prepared by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’ officials.
