I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I am the flag of the United States of America. My name is Old Glory. I fly atop the world's tallest buildings. I stand watch in America's halls of justice. I fly majestically over institutions of learning. I stand guard with power in the world. Look up and see me.

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice. I stand for freedom. I am confident. I am arrogant. I am proud.

When I am flown with my fellow banners, my head is a little higher, my colors a little truer.

I bow to no one! I am recognized all over the world. I am worshipped - I am saluted. I am loved - I am revered. I am respected - and I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war for more then 200 years. I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox. I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy, Guam. Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me, I was there. I led my troops, I was dirty, battleworn and tired, but my soldiers cheered me And I was proud. I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries I have helped set free. It does not hurt, for I am invincible.

I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled on the streets of my country. And when it's by those whom I've served in battle - it hurts. But I shall overcome - for I am strong.

I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon. I have borne silent witness to all of America's finest hours. But my finest hours are yet to come.

When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battlefield, When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier, Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I am proud.

MY NAME IS OLD GLORY LONG MAY I WAVE. DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN LONG MAY I WAVE

PLEASE FORWARD MY MESSAGE TO ALL WHO STILL LOVE AND RESPECT ME, THAT I MAY FLY PROUDLY FOR ANOTHER TWO HUNDRED YEARS.

THE DOLLAR BILL

Take out a one dollar bill and look at it. The one-
dollar bill you're looking at first came off the presses
in 1957 in its present design.
This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen
blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running
through it. It is actually material.

We've all washed it without it falling apart. A special
blend of ink is used, the contents we will never know.

It is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched
to make it water resistant and pressed to give it that
nice crisp look. If you look on the front of the bill,
you will see the United States Treasury Seal. On the top
you will see the scales for the balance--a balanced
budget. In the center you have a carpenter's T-square, a
tool used for an even cut. Underneath is the Key to the
United States Treasury. That's all pretty easy to figure
out, but what is on the back of that dollar bill is
something we should all know.

If you turn the bill over, you will see two circles.
Both circles together, comprise the Great Seal of the
United States. The First Continental Congress requested
that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a
Seal. It took them four years to accomplish this task
and another two years to get it approved. If you look at
the left hand circle, you will see a Pyramid. Notice the
face is lighted and the western side is dark.

This country was just beginning. We had not begun to
explore the West or decide what we could do for Western
Civilization. The Pyramid is un-capped, again signifying
that we were not even close to being finished.    
Inside the capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an
ancient symbol for divinity.

It was Franklin's belief that one man couldn't do it
alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could
do anything. "IN GOD WE TRUST" is on this currency. The
Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means "God has
favored our undertaking." The Latin below the pyramid,
NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means "a new order has begun." At
the base of the pyramid is the Roman Numeral for 1776.

If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it
carefully, you will learn that it is on every National
Cemetery in the United States. It is also on the Parade
of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida, National
Cemetery and is the centerpiece of most hero's
monuments. Slightly modified, it is the seal of the
President of the United States and it is always
visible whenever he speaks, yet no one knows what the
symbols mean.

The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for
two reasons; first, he is not afraid of a storm; he is
strong and he is smart enough to soar above it.
Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just
broken from the King of England. Also, notice the shield
is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own.
At the top of that shield you have a white bar
signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were coming
together as one nation. In the Eagle's beak you will
read, "E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning "one nation from many
people." Above the Eagle you have thirteen stars
representing the thirteen original colonies, and any
clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we were
coming together as one.

Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an
olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but
we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The
Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time
of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.

They say that the number 13 is an unlucky number. This
is almost a worldwide belief. You will usually never see
a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th
floor. But think about this: 13 original colonies, 13
signers of the Declaration of Independence, 13 stripes
on our flag, 13 steps on the Pyramid, 13 letters in the
Latin above, 13 letters in "E Pluribus Unum", 13 stars
above the Eagle, 13 plumes of feathers on each span of
the Eagle's wing, 13 bars on that shield, 13 leaves on
the olive branch, 13 fruits, and if you look closely, 13
arrows. And for minorities: the 13th Amendment.

I always ask people, "Why don't you know this?" Your
children don't know this and their history teachers
don't know this. Too may veterans have given up too much
to ever let the meaning fade. Many veterans remember
coming home to an America that didn't care. Too many
veterans never came home at all.

Pass this along to others -- otherwise they may never
know.

I'm a Bad American  by Ted Nugent

I like big trucks, big boats, big houses, and naturally, pretty women.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some midlevel
governmental functionary with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to
crack addicts squirting out babies. I don't care about appearing
compassionate.

I think playing with toy guns doesn't make you a killer - I believe ignoring
your kids and giving them Prozac might.
I think I'm doing better than the homeless.

I don't think being a minority makes you noble or victimized. I have the
right not to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird or make
me mad.
This is my life to live, and not necessarily up to others  expectations.

I know what sex is and there are not varying degrees of it.
I don't celebrate Kwanzaa. But if you want to that's fine; just don't
feel like everyone else should have to.

My uncles and forefathers shouldn't have had to die in vain so you can
leave the countries you were born in to come disrespect ours, and make us
bend to your will. Get over it.

I believe that if you are selling me a Dairy Queen shake, a pack of
cigarettes, or hotel room you do it in English. As of matter of fact, if you
are an American citizen you should speak English.

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry butt if you're
running from them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the
word 'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the previous line.

I don't use the excuse "it's for the children" as a shield for unpopular
opinions or actions.

I know how to count votes and I feel much safer letting a machine with
no political affiliation do a recount when needed.
I know what the definition of lying is, and it isn't based on the word
"is"-- ever.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you qualify for
any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans, etc., so you can open
a hotel, 7-Eleven, trinket shop, or anything else, while the indigenous
peoples can't get past a high school education because they can't afford it.

I didn't take the initiative in inventing the Internet.
I thought the Taco Bell dog was funny.

I want them to bring back safe and sane fireworks.
I believe no one ever died because of something Ozzy Osbourne, Ice-T or
Marilyn Manson sang, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to that crap from
someone else's car when I'm stopped at a red light. But I respect your right
to.


I don't want to eat or drink anything with the words light, lite or fat-free
on the package.

Our soldiers did not go to some foreign country and risk their lives
in vain and defend our Constitution so that decades later you can tell me
it's a living document ever changing and is open to interpretation. The guys
who wrote it were light years ahead of anyone today, and they meant what they
said -- now leave the document alone, or there's going to be trouble.

I don't hate the rich.

I help the poor.
I know wrestling is fake.

I've never owned, or was a slave, and a large percentage of our forefathers
weren't wealthy enough to own one either. Please stop blaming me because some
prior white people were idiots -- and  remember, tons of white, Indian,
Chinese, and other races have been  enslaved too -- it was wrong for every
one of them.

I believe a self-righteous liberal with a cause is more dangerous than a
Hell's Angel with an attitude.

I want to know exactly which church is it where the "Reverend" Jessie Jackson
preaches; and, what exactly is his job function.

I own a gun, you can own a gun, and any red blooded American should be
allowed to own a gun, but if you use it in a crime, then you will serve the
time.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue
to make more. If it makes you mad, then invent the next operating system
that's better and put your name on the building.

I don't believe in hate crime legislation. Even suggesting it makes me
mad. You're telling me that someone who is a minority, gay, disabled, another
nationality, or otherwise different from the mainstream of this
country has more value as a human being than I do as a white male.
If someone kills anyone, I'd say that it's a hate crime. We don't need more
laws! Let's enforce the ones we already have.

I think turkey bacon, turkey beef, turkey fake anything sucks.

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child -- it takes a
parent with the  guts to stand up to the kid and spank his butt and say "NO!"
when it's necessary to do so.

I'll admit that the only movie that ever made me cry was Ole Yeller.

I didn't realize Dr. Seuss was a genius until I had a kid.

I will not be frowned upon or be looked down upon or be made to keep silent
because I have these beliefs and opinions. I thought this country allowed me
that right.

I will not conform or compromise just to keep from hurting somebody's
feelings.

I'm neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the
mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise.

Yes, I guess by some people's definition, I may be a bad American.
BUT THAT'S JUST TOUGH !!!
