Money is the Root of All Evil?
Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow.

Why Socialism Failed
Price, Profit, Property

A Tale of Two Revolutions
The Great Revolution was the source of all the present communist, anarchist, and socialist conceptions.

The Meaning of
Communism to Americans

If we are to win a contest of ideas we must know their ideas as well as our own. Our knowledge must not be superficial.

Our Own Hundred Years’ War
WWII, the Cold War, and now the War on Terrorism can all be seen as part of a single, epochal struggle.

Give War a Chance?
The great ills of the last three centuries were largely ameliorated by war not mediation.

Socialism Kills (Alt1, Alt2)
The future of the world is either European secular socialism, Islamic totalitarianism or the unique American combination of Judeo-Christian religiosity and political and economic liberty.

Pax Americana (Alt)
An empire for liberty

Give Me Liberty
Patrick Henry


Applied Ethics:

ANTI-AMERICANISM

Anti-Americanism
The principal function of anti-Americanism has always been, and still is, to discredit [classical] liberalism by discrediting its supreme incarnation.

Substitute of Responsibility
Anti-Americanism is a disease and not a position.

Why do they hate us?
Anglophobia writ large.

In Defense of the Stars and Stripes
In our time, anti-Americanism has become a crushing, Stalinist orthodoxy, an ossified system of bigoted dogmas that ruthlessly ostracizes all who would question it.

Do the Democrats Really Hate America? Part II, Part III
Today's so-called democrat party is really a distribution of two parts, the sophisticated and the naive. Or more aptly, the Elitists and the Disciples.

KOOLAID

Craven Western Intellectuals
Without a cheering chorus of twentieth-century Western intellectuals, infected by a fusion of alienation, socialist utopianism, and anti-Americanism, communism might never have attained its ideological-military dominance in the free world that it did, especially during the Stalin era.

Hollywood's Missing Movies
Why American films have ignored life under communism.

Fools for Communism
Still apologists after all these years.

NEW WORLD ORDER

The U.N.'s Plan for World Government

The Charter for Global Democracy

Globalism and Sovereignty

Betrayal

RACISM

Who Is Racist? (Alt)
Martin Luther King says "judge us by the content of our character." His own wife says in 2001 "give us affirmative action," which is explicitly based not on character but on race.

Fed Up
Bill Cosby

F.A. HAYEK

The Worst Do Get to the Top

American music also has a restorative effect for the patriot. Patriotic songs are the songs of liberty and thanks.

In this issue, the history of several patriotic songs is linked here, along with video and audio. There are even a few hidden surprises amongst the images on this webpage. For even more American music and history, follow the link to the Home of Heroes.

Symbols endure to remind us of the truth.

50 million people liberated. Two nations with a second chance.

I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

For all.

     
     
   

God Bless America

   
God bless America, _ Land that I love,
   
Stand beside her and guide her
   
Thru the night with a light from above;
   
From the mountains, to the prairies, _ To the oceans white with foam,
     
God bless America, _ My home, sweet home.
     

God bless America, _ My home, sweet home.

     

     
     
   

America the Beautiful

   
O beautiful for spacious skies,
   
For amber waves of grain,
   
For purple mountain majesties
   
Above the fruited plain! _ America! _ America! _ God shed His grace on thee,
     
And crown thy good with brotherhood
     

From sea to shining sea!

     

     
     
   

America
(My Country, Tis of Thee)

   
My country, 'tis of Thee,
   
Sweet Land of Liberty
   
Of thee I sing;
   
Land where my fathers died, _ Land of the pilgrims' pride,
     
From every mountain side _ Let Freedom ring.
     

* _ * _ * _ Great God, our King.

     

     
     
   

Battle Hymn of the Republic

   
Mine eyes have seen the glory
   
of the coming of the Lord
   
He is trampling out the vintage
   
where the grapes of wrath are stored, _ He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
     
His Truth is marching on. _ Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! _ Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
     

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! _ His Truth is marching on.

American girls and american guys
   
We'll always stand up and salute
   
We'll always recognize
   
When we see old glory flying _ There's a lot of men dead
     
So we can sleep in peace at night _ When we lay down our head
     

* _ * _ * _ Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue

     

     
     
   

The Star
Spangled Banner

   
Oh, say can you see
   
by the dawn's early light
   
What so proudly we hailed
   
at the twilight's last gleaming? _ * _ * _ * _
     
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
     

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
