What has happened to our great nation?

This is not meant to start some kind of big war of the words on yanswers. I just want to know if any other americans feel this way. What has happened to our country? Remember right after 9/11, the flags were flying, americans of all races and religions were standing hand in hand in support of this county and our president. The star spangled banner brought a tear of pride to your eye. I love my country. I stand behind it no matter what. What happened to that? I mean if you hate american so much, then leave ya know? All anybody does anymore is bash the president and the government and the economy, its just ridiculous. I get offeneded when people say bad things about my home that I love. And no, I dont agree with the president or the government or any of it all the time, but its still MY country, and I SUPPORT IT!!! what happened to patriotism??
yeah to those who didnt see that part about "not trying to start a war of words" take a pill and chill out. To those who agree and even disagree with out being a name calling asshole. thanks, all opinions are appreciated, regardless if i agree with you or not.

Michigan fans: do you appreciate this tribute to Bo?

When Bo got to heaven, God came down to the pearly gate and relieved St. Peter of duty. God proceded to give Bo the grand tour himself. After several hours, the tour ended at the legendary coach’s new eternal home. God gave Bo a quaint little two-bedroom ranch painted in light maize with blue trim, curtains and a well-flown Michigan banner hanging over the front entrance.
As Bo admired his house, he heard a hymn playing in the background. As he listened, he noticed it was not a religous hymn, but Carmen Ohio. He looked and saw a large mansion up on a hill. It had huge columns in front and a domed entrance just like the one at Ohio Stadium and there were Ohio State flags flying all around.
Bo said "God, I really appreciate my new home, but don’t you think it’s unfair for you to give me this little shack with a tattered old Go Blue flag when Woody Hays got that big ol’ mansion?"
God smiled at his newly-arrived son and said "Bo. Dear Bo, that’s not Woody’s. That’s MY house." Go Bucks!

This is how it should look and sound, don't you agree?

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wiped out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
There’s NOTHING better then the original!!!

Do non-patriots even understand what the Gasden (snake) Flag means to America?

By 1775, the snake symbol wasn’t just being printed in newspapers. It was appearing all over the colonies: on uniform buttons, on paper money, and of course, on banners and flags.

In December 1775, "An American Guesser" anonymously wrote to the Pennsylvania Journal:

"I observed on one of the drums belonging to the marines now raising, there was painted a Rattle-Snake, with this modest motto under it, ‘Don’t tread on me.’ As I know it is the custom to have some device on the arms of every country, I supposed this may have been intended for the arms of America."

Many scholars now agree that this "American Guesser" was Benjamin Franklin

Why do liberals insist the tea party members are members of the KKK, when a highly praised democrat?

was in fact a member of the KKK?

Sen. Robert Byrd is the only member of Congress who publically admitted that he was a member of the KKK. He renounced his KKK membership in the 1960′s and liberals forgave him.

During the 1940s Senator Byrd spent two "ELECTED" terms as a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan in West Virginia. Senator Byrd was one of the DEMOCRATS That tried to prevent the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Bill with a Filibuster. Senator Byrd was among the Democrats that voted AGAINST the 1964 Civil Rights act.

In a letter to Mississippi Senator Bilbo in 1947, Senator Byrd wrote "never submit to fight beneath the banner [the American flag] with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

This question is for our friends in the United Kingdom….?

Do you ever take off your headgear (cap, hat, etc.) and hold on to it with your hand when standing at your feet hearing your national anthem "God Save the Queen"? In the United States, we men who wear head gears take them off hand place them on our left chest or left shoulder when either pledging our allegiance to our national flag or hearing our national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner". Have you Brits took off your headgear during your national anthem?

Li Ning, "Huoshaochibi" Nike Lightning "counterattack "

Li Ning, "Huoshaochibi" Nike Lightning "counterattack "

Olympic Games every four years has always been a business must compete powerhouse, Biaofei Tizhuang the Chinese market has become the sponsors of the natural and non-sponsors do not want to let go of the battlefield, so we all crowded to Beijing. Sports marketing have to say that sports brand, but the Olympic Games, Adidas, Nike, Li Ning to us to stage a different kind of Olympic marketing version of “Three Kingdoms”, in spite of the storm Liu Xiang to retire, but not affect the competition between the three countries, but to add a touch of Romance more dramatic.

    I remember three-meter springboard in the women’s doubles final, Guo Jingjing and Wu Minxia both wearing Li Ning logo swimsuit appearance, but the first time in an interview with reporters Wu Minxia parents, her father wearing a Nike T shirt front of the camera, always clear-cut Nike LOGO occupies a corner of the screen, followed by the presentation, Guo Jingjing Wu Minxia are both on stage dressed in Adidas. This is also called the biggest sponsorship wonders of the Olympic Games. There are many similar lenses, no longer list them.

    Adi ostentatious “depending on the title to make competitive products”

    Beijing Olympics, Adi is making determined efforts, always generous to huge amounts of money in exchange for 1.3 billion yuan a “partner” of the title, the maximum return is that all athletes podium, the flag must be dressed in clothing with Adi. At the same time, Adi overwhelming publicity “with the 2008, not impossible,” the theme of advertising. Adi thinking that it would shut competitors retreat, reap the Olympic feast. While not wishing to Nike, “Quxianjiuguo”, swept all 28 major events in the 22 projects sponsored by the Chinese team, that is, the sports teams will be wearing Nike apparel team race.

    Adi high hopes for the Chinese men’s football again, “shaved their heads,” the Chinese women’s volleyball at No. 21 with the total defeat in the Brazilian missed the final, Adi’s sponsor plans to completely collapse, even though taekwondo gold medal for the Adi back for some eye, But after all, is a narrow public projects. The Adi promising Sui Feifei, Hu Jia, Zheng Zhi is every eye-popping.

    Men’s Basketball game between Argentina and Lithuania in the exciting exchange that, the party is Li Ning, one is Nike; while China and the United States game, both sides are to wear Nike, Adidas, where are you?

    Adi feels like three of the Wei, best players together powerful, but when a key is easy to “stumbled”, in particular its phase object does not always play according to the desired state, such as Cao Cao’s advisers men of Xu Shu “labor, do not contribute.”

    Nike he sacrifice the long corner of the Lightning “counterattack”

    And Adi frontal assault, a lot of different burn, Nike has taken the side to break out the strategy he sacrifice the long corner, firmly grasp the diving, gymnastics medal competition hope that the large 22 team, and ace Yao Ming, Liu Xiang . It’s like three in Soochow, relying on the Yangtze River’s natural barrier, entrenched party.

    However, Accidents will happen. While Nike was the sponsor of the team calculated how much gold could get the time, Liu Xiang clear sky thunder like to retire, so caught off guard, like Soochow – Global Brand Network – lost Zhou Yu. At this time, Adi, Li Ning is definitely “No smiling at the news,” the.

    Although the case of emergency, but Nike’s performance still can? Can point, with Liu Xiang’s abandonment of the different associations, Nike said the first time on understanding and continue to support Liu Xiang, then, starry night to produce a new advertising and Lightning nationwide broadcast.

    ”Love match, love spell on all the dignity, love it to win another one back, love to give everything. Love of glory, love frustrations, love sports, even if it breaks your heart.” A sensational language, together with the bulk of Liu Xiang According to Nike in the champions “night” while also playing a pretty fast “offensive war.” While Yao Ming by themselves basketball semi-finals by the end of the dream Unfortunately, Lithuania, although the speed is no longer occurred Liu Xiang, but because of the pathetic advertising blitz, Nike may be a lucky hit but was, won the general “Cheung fans” of sympathy and goodwill . Li Ning lean “Royal” blood “Huoshaochibi”

    Li Ning to say the most interesting, and arguably exclusive “partner” was Adi away, and participating in most of the Chinese team was Nike, Adi among themselves, Ning seems to do nothing.

    The Li Ning relying on the “Royal blood” even out “Cherish”, like three of Liu Bei, the surface forces, the weakest, but always a survivor to safety, the last laugh. The first one is fixed up all the CCTV interview with host services, so China wins gold medal each time, dressed in clothes of the CCTV reporter Li Ning will confidently up interviews; The second measure is sponsored part of the curve gymnastics team, diving team, as well as Men such as Argentina, the foreign team; third measure most definitely, before the opening ceremony in no one’s thought is “Huoshaochibi.”

    If the surface Li Ning and Nike live in peace “allied” common “confrontation” Adi, actually, “Face ulterior motive.” Li Ning at the opening of the “Flying” show, no doubt to rival Adidas to a fatal blow. Although Li Ning, “Flying” is the Adi wear clothing and shoes, but more than 4 billion viewers worldwide up to a few minutes under full attention, Li Ning lit the Olympic torch, that moment, how many people will care about Li Ning What to wear clothes? I believe it will remember his name.

    A fire, burned almost all the dreams of Adi.

    Interestingly, the 10-meter air pistol gold medalist Guo Wen?, Shooting Li Ning deliberately wore a jacket, to accept the award until replaced by Adi. In the women’s gymnastics team competition, most of the players wearing Li Ning, while on the podium had to be replaced Adi. The men’s gymnastics all-around champion Yang Wei took office Wearing is still the Li Ning, I do not know why! Yang Wei won the post, Li Ning has “Almighty King, Yang Beijing,” the ad also aired the first time.

    Although Anta, 361 degree brand in the brains and do everything possible to beat the Olympic edge ball, but the face of the three disputes have long been unable to compete. The Adidas has undoubtedly been the Olympics “three war” in the thankless loser!

How many words are in this?

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight,

And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air

Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave

On the shore dimly seen, thro’ the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,

‘Tis the Star-Spangled Banner, Oh long may it wave

Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust"
And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
You guys aren’t even close. Think about the question, "How many words are in this"
