i would love to know what damage this president has done more than the other's before him? from what i see, no one has rammed an airplane into a tall building since he was president, i don't see any type of plague or disease that is spreading. i haven't heard of the air quality or water quality of water getting any worse. i haven't seen any new wars start that cost lives for no reason. we might not like some or all of his policies, but to declare this place damaged because he is different than the other guy makes no sense at all. we are all big boys here, and no matter what policy a president lays out, most of us can easily survive it.

Hello Shunty, Thank You for a GREAT Article by Wayne Allyn Root, he's a frequent guess on The Mark Levin show, Two Men that I trust and listen to every chance I get when I'm out working. I cant disagree with anything Wayne talks about, he is RIGHT on the MONEY with his views and opinions, ... as is Mark Levin. "America is in Trouble", ... and we too have been saying this for a long time now, I even started a Political Message Board a while back which I abandoned due to the fact that we have plenty of Political Boards here on SI, while we freely talk about it all here anyway! Things are not getting any better and to be quite honest, I dont see the Right doing anything about all of this, .. as if they are in bed with the left on many issues, lets not be fooled, ... they see and understand what's going on, It doesn't take a genius, ... but they are either fearful of Obama, or they (Rep's) dont care, but they are the BIGGER part of the problem right now for not going after him. One would think that the Right Leaning Lefties in the Senate would stand-up and be heard on some of these concerns, just as the Patriot Party on the right has done, but we've not heard a word from any right leaning Democrat, and very little from the Dinosaur's on the right, as I see them as being the majority of the problem by not attack these issues head-on, its almost as if Obama has promised them asylum of some sort. We are heading towards a Military Rule Government, it reminds me of the stories I was told by family members as a child and what they experienced in the Middle East. I just dont know where the "No Turning Back Point Is", ... or if we're already beyond it! ~~

I was in Scottsdale, AZ the other day. I saw a bumper sticker on a parked car that read: "I miss Chicago ." So I broke the window, stole the radio, shot out two of the tires, added an Obama bumper sticker and left a note that read, "I hope this helps!"

The VA is protecting our soldiers from receiving "offensive" cards such as the following. VA hospital refuses to accept 'Merry Christmas' cards. Boys and girls at Grace Academy in Prosper, Tex., spent most of last Friday making homemade Christmas cards for bedridden veterans at the VA hospital in Dallas. Fourth-grader Gracie Brown was especially proud of her card, hoping it would “make their day because their family might live far away, and they might not have somebody to celebrate Christmas with.” Gracie’s card read, “Merry Christmas. Thank you for your service.” It also included an American flag. But the bedridden veterans at the VA hospital will never get to see Gracie’s card. Nor will they see the cards made by 51 other students. That’s because the Christmas cards violated VA policy. Hiram Sasser, director of litigation for Liberty Institute said "Targeting the benevolent work of little children for censorship is disgusting. Do the Grinches in the administration of the VA really believe our bravest warriors need protection from the heartfelt well wishes of small children saying Merry Christmas?"

ARLINGTON CEMETERY

Tomb
of the Unknown Soldier

1.
How many steps does the guard take during his
walk across the tomb of the Unknowns
and why?

21
steps:
It
alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which
is the
highest honor given any military or foreign
dignitary.

2.
How long does he hesitate after his about face
to begin his return
walk and why?

21
seconds for the same reason as answer number
1

3.
Why are his gloves wet?

His
gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his
grip on the rifle.

4.
Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all
the time
and,if
not, why not?

He
carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the
tomb. After his march across the
path, he
executes an about face and moves the rifle to
the outside shoulder.

5.
How often are the guards changed?

Guards
are changed every thirty minutes,
twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a
year.

6.
What are the physical traits of the guard
limited to?

For
a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he
must be
between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and
his waist size cannot exceed 30.

They
must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb,
live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot
drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of
their lives. They cannot swear in public for the
rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the
uniform or the tomb in any way.

After
two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that
is worn on
his lapel signifying he
served as guard of the tomb. There are only
400 presently worn. The guard must obey
these rules for the rest of their
lives or
give up the wreath pin.

The
shoes are specially made with very thick soles
to keep the heat and cold from their feet.
There are metal heel plates that extend to
the top
of the shoe in order to make the loud click as
they come to a halt.

There are no
wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards
dress for duty
in front of a full-length
mirror.

The first six months of duty a
guard cannot talk to anyone nor
watch TV.
All off duty time is spent studying the 175
notable people laid
to rest in
Arlington National Cemetery .
A guard must memorize who they are and where
they are interred. Among the notables are:

President Taft,
Heavyweight champion Joe Louis
Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, most
decorated soldier of WWII..

Every guard spends five hours a
day getting his uniforms ready for
guard duty..

ETERNAL
REST GRANT THEM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT
SHINE UPON THEM.

In
2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was
approaching Washington ,
DC , our
US Senate/House took 2 days
off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC
evening news, it was reported that because of
the dangers from the
hurricane, the military
members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb
of
the Unknown Soldier were given permission
to suspend the assignment.

They
respectfully declined the offer, "No way,
Sir!" Soaked to the skin,
marching in the
pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that
guarding
the Tomb was not just an assignment,
it was the highest honor that can be
afforded
to a service person.

The tomb has been patrolled
continuously,
24/7, since 1930.

God
Bless and keep them.

"IN GOD WE TRUST".
