THE GHOST FROM VALLEY FORGE
(author unknown)

I had a dream the other night I didn't understand,
A figure walking through the mist, with flintlock in his hand.
His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by my bed,
He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low he said:

We fought a revolution to secure our liberty,
We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny.
For future generations, this legacy we gave,
In this, the land of the free and home of the brave.

The freedom we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep,
But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep.
Your freedom gone - your courage lost - you're no more than a slave,
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

You buy permits to travel, and permits to own a gun,
Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.
On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent,
Although you have no voice in choosing how the money's spent.

Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate,
Your moral values can't be taught, according to the state.
You read about the current "news" in a very biased press,
You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the IRS.

Your money is no longer made of silver or of gold,
You trade your wealth for paper, so life can be controlled.
You pay for crimes that make our Nation turn from God to shame,
You've taken Satin's number, as you've traded in your name.

You've given government control to those who do you harm,
So they can padlock churches, and steal the family farm.
And keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail,
Harass your fellow countryman while corrupted courts prevail.

Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they're sworn,
Your daughters visit doctors so children won't be born.
Your leaders ship artillery and guns to foreign shores,
And send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars.

Can you regain your Freedom for which we fought and died?
Or don't you have the courage, or the faith to stand with pride?
Are there no more values for which you'll fight to save?
Or do you wish your children live in fear and be a slave?

Sons of the Republic, arise and take a stand!
Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land!
Preserve our Republic, and each God-given right!
And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright!

As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from whence he came,
His words were true, we are not free, and we have ourselves to blame.
For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right,
We only watch and tremble -- too afraid to stand and fight.
If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you're asleep,
And wonder what remains of your right he fought to keep.
What would be your answer if he called out from the grave?
Is this still the land of the free and home of the brave?

Senate finds no al-Qaida-Saddam link

According to the report, postwar findings indicate that Saddam "was distrustful of al-Qaida & viewed Islamic extremists as a threat to his regime." It quotes an
FBI report from June 2004 in which former Prime Minister Tariq Aziz said in an interview that "Saddam only expressed negative sentiments about bin Laden."

Saddam himself is quoted in an FBI summary as acknowledging that the Iraqi government had met with bin Laden but denying that he had colluded with the al-Qaida leader. Claiming that Iraq opposed only U.S. policies, Saddam said that "if he wanted to cooperate with the enemies of the U.S., he would have allied with
North Korea or China," the report quotes the FBI document.

The report said that al-Zarqawi, the al-Qaida leader killed by a U.S. airstrike last June, was in Baghdad from May 2002 until late November 2002. But "postwar information indicates that Saddam Hussein attempted, unsuccessfully, to locate & capture al-Zarqawi

I asked a similar question earlier but I think I phrased it incorrectly, so I'll try again: the original rule for the house of representitives was "The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty thousand", however the number of representitives became fixed at a rate of 435 in 1911, and currently we have one representitive for every 690,000 people. It seems to me that the forefathers of the country did not expect our country to get this big, and how can we justify watering down our democracy due to population increase?

Labour MP John McDonnell, MP for Hayes and Harlington;
(BBC report, Friday, 8 September 2006, 00:32 GMT 01:32 UK )
"It's not safe in Westminster anymore. There's blood on the carpet all over the place.

"It's like watching an episode of the Sopranos. It's worse, it's like Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. There's an assassin round every corner in Westminster."

Iran has no motive to attack the US and no ability to do so


But American governments want to attack Iran and not have to go through a new and updated Iran military to do it - They need a reason to nuke Iran


On Sept. 11 just before Bush gets to deliver his speech American personel will report that Iran has launched a missle tword Israel and that it has been shot down and returned an American made mini nuke killing tens of thousands

A small nuke will also be set off in the US but it will be planted by the US military

They want to clean their image before elections by "fighting illegal immigration." They are proposing for everybody to have a U.S. legal ID, for Social Security cards to use biometrics, and more.

The Dems were up in arms about the 1st Amendment when the New York Times published classified info. But now they want to control ABC because of "Pathway to 911". Hypocritical I think.

They say "Cometh the time, cometh the man". The British way of life is almost finished now, we are apologising ourselves to death and drowning in a sea of politically correct garbage, surrounded by baying hordes of "Gay" homosexual perverts and muslims who hate our guts.

Blair, Brown, Cameron etc are apologetic wimps hardly fit to lead this once- great country. Isn't it time we had a new, charismatic leader from the far Right who isn't afraid to speak his mind and call a spade a spade? When will such a man come forward because it truly is only a matter of time? THE BRITISH CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH.

Since they (especially Cheney) support state sponsored torture in defiance of international treaties they're exposing our troops to the same. And I'm not just talking about this conflict, but all future ones as well.


Where's the outrage about this from all the "support the troops" people?
