Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." We can never shed our sins and regrets, only accumulate more, a burden that we grow and carry until our deaths. The best we can do is learn to live with ourselves, to accommodate our pasts |

User ID: 987733 United States 05/31/2010 12:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank You :flag waver: Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 971453 United States 05/31/2010 12:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Happy Memorial Day Everyone ............... ...... Let' s get this started now, so it will reach everyone and remind them of why the GOOD Presidents honor the fallen at the unmarked graves in Arlington . No, freedom isn't free. !!!! I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! For all of our other military personnel, where ever they may be. Please support all of the troops defending our Country. And God bless our Military who are protecting our Country for our freedom. Thanks to them, and their sacrifices we can celebrate Memorial Day We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have, of which we should be eternally grateful. I watched the flag Pass by one day, It fluttered in the breeze. A young Marine saluted it, and then he stood at ease. I looked at him in uniform so young, so tall, so proud, With hair cut square and eyes alert He'd stand out in any crowd. I thought how many men like him Had fallen through the years. How many died on foreign soil How many mothers' tears? How many pilots' planes shot down? How many died at sea? How many foxholes were soldiers' graves? No, freedom isn't free. I heard the sound of Taps one night, when everything was still. I listened to the bugler play and felt a sudden chill. I wondered just how many times that Taps had meant 'Amen.' When a flag had draped a coffin. Of a brother or a friend. I thought of all the children, Of the mothers and the wives, Of fathers, sons and husbands With interrupted lives. I thought about a graveyard At the bottom of the sea ( where my very own Grandfather rests. ) Of unmarked graves in Arlington . No, freedom isn't free. Enjoy Your Freedom & God Bless Our Troops. Show Your Support. Please stop for a moment and say a Prayer for our servicemen. This can be very powerful....Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, prayer is the very best one |

to the fallen User ID: 987711 United States 05/31/2010 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Each time we speak disparagingly about our government or exercise one of our other rights, we put to use the reasons so many have fought and died to secure the blessings of liberty for those they loved, for those they had not met and even those who had not yet been born. But while we enjoy the rights and freedoms they did so much to secure for us, we too seldom think about the sacrifices they made or the bravery they showed. |
