I am going to be the first to suggest the next momentous step for Christianity in America. I am following in the steps of the Christian Right in it's (hopefully) soon bill to ensure that the unnecessary rights of the animalistic homosexual are illegalled in all fifty (plus the frequently visited by ungodly heathen teenagers United States Territories) States of America, Dwight D. Eisenhower who so intelligently realized the need for the Pledge of Alliegance to have the line "under god" because any nation that isn't Christian is worth living in, and Michael Powell who choose that Praise God is allowable but the unspeakable G.D. that the heathen uses to further push back the Christian with his New Speak would be illegal on the radio.
I propose that we garnish support for a new American Flag that is far more Patriotic and will drive terror into the heathen (muslim) terrorists. The new flag will have thirteen stripes for the thirteen original colonies that were founded by fleeing laborious Christians from tyrannical ungodly european nations. The red on the stripes symbolism will be changed to represent the Blood of Jesus Christ who died on the cross for everyone's sins that believes in him, isn't a messianic jew, catholic, homosexual, excessive sinner, or non-talk radio drug addicts (may they all be damned to the 7th layer of hell cubicle six where you must sit with Jean-Paul Sartre forever... for-ev-er... think about it before you choose to gay-out, coke out, or synagogue out).
The white stripes will be disallowed as a band, because the White Stripes on the United Christian American States... oops did I say that... what I meant to say was that the Christian's in America deserve just as many rights as the other influences on our America. What was I discussing again? Oh yes, the new White Stripes would stand for the Purity of Jesus Christ because he has given so much to America, namely everything it's ever received. Then because America is so charitable we can keep the band The White Stripes going on Fox's Word record label, of course we'd ditch the brother sister act and replace it with one of our faithful congregates.
Now the blue field would stand for the Water that Jesus walked on. That's simple enough, but for non-Christians, I will take the courtesy of explaining it. Jesus is the man who could save your soul if you turn to Jesus, unless you've ever been gay or jewish... or catholic for that matter or any other inexcusable sin that I may have forgotten.
Forgive me, Lord, for forgetting the sins that send people to eternal damnation. When I left the seminary I could have recalled them immediately. I apologize for this and hope that you will not send me to hell for my memory. Amen.
The big part of my plan involves the removal of the heinous stars that sadly are no longer seen by the youth as pin holes into Heaven, but take the stupid words of copernicus as truth. Not that we're anti-science. We believe that the science of intelligent design be taught in all schools, hopefully one day as a the primary core information in education. Back to the big deal. The stars will be replaced by forty-eight crosses each of different heights depending on the amount of tithes received by each state. The two heathen states California and Massachusetts, for their
I also hope that we can also get a bill promoting that the only correct family is the nuclear family. Since nearly all adopted children are from abhorred ungodly heathen countries, they definitely should not be taken into our land. Adopted children are the worst kind of those America destroying immigrants. They come to destroy this land. Families are for the making of Christian children. So any woman who cannot bear children will be labeled as a gay man. Also any woman who ruins her reproductive organs by having an abortion will be labeled a gay man since that is what she has made herself. All gay men will be shot at a huge festival every year. Let's choose Easter, since numbers are dwindling for Easter Attendance. I'm sorry this is a tangent of love for Jesus Christ. I hope you can in your mercy excuse it, dear enlightened reader.
I would like to thank the over whelming Christian Support by all Americans for their prayers coming to me to allow me to release this idea into the hearts and minds of our people.
Thank you,

"the following EM (enlisted men) will be volunteers at the Pine Hill (NJ) Independence Day festivities. Report promptly at 0800 hrs to Mrs. Lindstrom (i think that was her name) at the parade marshaling area in Pine Hill. Uniform required is dress khakis..."
that memo waas signed by the battery commander and posted on the company bull. board. There were 6 names. mine was the first.
This meant that I, who was serving my country as a reluctant missleman for 3 years, was going to mark my country's Independence Day by donating my holiday off to marching in a parade to honor... you know where that's going. Keywords in that memo are, "will be volunteers."
For the record, the ladies of the Pine Hill, New Jersey patriotic committee were so nice and gracious and kind to us that the day was more fun than our captain ever intended for us to have. I visited there often after that until the Army decided I should learn to speak German. That was 1967, btw.
So Happy 4th, 2008 to anyone so bored that they are on their computers instead of out on the deck burning burgers. And as I did at that Pine Hill parade long ago, I'll muse a bit on our Independence.
We rebelled against a government of "taxation without representation." (That line is from my 4th grade history book.)
Now we have taxation with representation... There's a little food for thought while those burgers fry. Oh, and hold the tomatoes, please. At a safe (long) distance.

June 18, 2008 - A congressman from Arizona has recognized a group from his state for its continued dedication to supporting the troops. U.S. Rep. Harry Mitchell honored Packages From Home on June 14 for its efforts and continued support for the nation's servicemembers and for their dedication in providing care packages to U.S. troops.
Packages From Home is a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and companies with servicemembers and their families serving at home and abroad.
Mitchell recognized Kathleen Lewis and Lisa Benson -- president and executive director, respectively, of Packages From Home -- in a Flag Day ceremony at the state capitol. The three participated in the unveiling of a poster-sized replica of the new Arizona state flag stamp.
Packages from Home has sent more than 140,000 packages to U.S. troops over the past four years. The group also has provided tons of equipment for the troops to use in rest centers in Iraq.
I took this photo of our American Flag a year ago on the Fourth of July. I was on my way home to visit my mother in southern Missouri. It was a glorious day! The sky was so blue. I do not know why, but I feel really good when I see our Flag flying high. I am PROUD to be an AMERICAN!!! And I am extremely PROUD of the men and women who are serving our country!!! And for those who have served our great land, especially for those who have given their lives for our freedoms. I do not take their sacrifices lightly. God Bless the USA!
Peace Be With You, Judy
Last summer a local realtor came around to our little culdesac and put small American flags in our yards. It was very festive and patriotic on July 4th and most of the neighbors left their flags intact throughout most of the summer. We moved ours from the yard, to the base of the mailbox on the curb. And there it stayed. It got a little shop worn over the Fall months, but we're a pretty patriotic family and we couldn't quite bring ourselves to remove it.
After the first snow here I noticed that the flag had been removed. I assumed my husband had discarded it since it WAS a little tattered and worse for wear. It was several more days before I thought to bring it up with him - and was surprised when he revealed that HE he had not been the one to remove it. So now, we're a little miffed: harumph - who would "steal" our flag (as if anybody would bother, it was old and we'd certainly gotten our money's worth from this free realtor's gift. LOL.) Still we wondered about the mystery: Was it those uppity new neighbors who thought we'd left the flag out for too long? They don't like our garbage cans either. But they're wierdos. Yeah, it was probably THEM. Harumph.
Then yesterday, DH comes inside and declares, "I solved the mystery of the Flag Theft." Following him out to the back porch, he points up and I see it.
Now we live in a 25 year old neighborhood with mature trees. The trees are full of squirrels. The squirrels wake us up every morning at crack o' dawn scampering along the roof. They love the tall swaying branches of the maple tree that stands at the corner of the house. They like to take a running leap from the treetop to the roof, landing with a loud THUD followed by the sound of plenty of scampering. Sometimes we can even tell how many of them are on the rampage by counting the number of successive THUDs.
So, I'm shielding my eyes, looking into the sun, and I can see the maple tree ... I can see the squirrel's nest high up IN the maple tree ... and darned if I can't see the remnants of my American flag IN the squirrel's nest. Can you imagine? They had to pull the flag, on it's little 1/4 inch dowel rod flag pole, OUT of the dirt in the planter at the base of the mailbox. This is in the FRONT of the house. The maple is in the BACK corner. They had to drag the flag (still on the dowel rod?) across the entire front yard, around the side of the house, down the length of the house-side, up the tree, up HIGH into the tree to tuck it in securely, thereby beginning the flag's new life as a rodent raincoat. Or maybe they took it up the rain gutter and drug it across the roof. Either way, I'm sorry I missed the spectacle ...
But there's no missing the flag now - proudly peaking out of the former dumpy nesting site. The squirrels are stylin' now.
