WOODY GUTHRIE THIS LAND!

We're STILL AFRAID !

This old poster from WWII reflects the spirit of Patriotic Americans who saw the Nazi threat for what it was. Terror.

We fought in other people's countries to liberate them from this threat. Thousands lost their lives for the ideal that we have the freedom to worship as we please, and that our children never fear the planes flying over their homes would drop bombs on them.

Posters like these today seem so Old School, they depict a way of life that seems to be gone from America. Today street gangs terrorize their own communities.

Did the fear ever really go away?

Today our fears are of terror within our country by those who came to live here but hate us.

As a result, we are living in a culture where every next person is a possible terrorist. We have the experience of BEING CONSIDERED GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT!

USS INDEPENDENCE - A REMARKABLE NEW SHIP READY TO LAUCH FROM SAN DIEGO

Link now to this Internet news story from Bill Riales at WKRG in Mobile, Alabama!

"There is no wheel for steering, and no props. Giant water jet engines propel the craft, while it is controlled through joysticks at the helm. The Commander's conn is an elevated chair with a keyboard and flat-screen panel full of information, from the 42 cameras mounted on board, to engine, weapons control--and email.A ship of this size, more than 400 feet in length, would normally be manned by up to 300 sailors. The Independence is manned by a rotating crew of 40 sailors."

HAVE YOU HEARD ?

PATRIOTIC PURCHASE BLOG is here to give you some direction and support as you hone your ability to BUY AMERICAN and SUPPORT AMERICAN JOBS, LEGAL IMMIGRATION, and be PROUD OF YOUR AMERICANISM!

2010 A YEAR OF PROSPERITY?

Everyone in the United States knows that what we need is a true upturn in the economy. This can happen but it takes MAKING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - WE THE PEOPLE - FIRST! It's not that we don't want to know what's happening in other countries. It's not that we're heartless. It's that we have put too much of our own money into foreign countries WITHOUT TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN FIRST!

You as a citizen can TAKE CHARGE NOW. You can begin by making your every purchase PATRIOTIC! You can put your money where your belief system is and buy products that are PROUDLY MADE IN THE UNITED STATES!

YOU CAN START BY EXPRESSING YOUR DESIRE TO BUY AMERICAN to store owners when you cannot find what you want!

YOU CAN EXPRESS YOUR DESIRE TO KEEP AMERICAN JOBS FOR AMERICANS by contacting your local Representatives.

Before you buy it, turn it over and look for an AMERICAN FLAG.

Look for the words "Made in the United States."

Ask yourself, if you cannot find a product that SUPPORTS AMERICAN JOBS, am I at least buying from a country that has long been our ally?

PLEASE USE THE COMMENTS FEATURE TO LET US KNOW OF PRODUCTS THAT YOU BELIEVE IN THAT SATISFY THESE REQUIREMENTS!

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN - OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

Let's take a moment at the end of 2009 to THANK OUR SERVICE MEN and WOMEN who are IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES taking care of business while we celebrate our holidays, fairly sure that we will not be attacked by another nation on our soil. I know - 9/11 - terrorists. Terrorism is a reality. Many Americans feel we have lost much of our Privacy and our Rights are in danger because we are suspicious of the Patriot Act. We are not used to High Security. We don't want to get used to going through metal detectors and having to show ID's...

Still, no matter how pacifist you may be personally, that pacifism can end in martyrdom if we have a weak military. Whatever the Truth of 9/11, Service Men and Women make a sacrifice and take a great personal risk to defend us and keep that aspect of our nation strong.


THE NEWS IS NOT PROPERLY COVERING MILITARY or GOVERNMENTAL ISSUES.

THIS IS OUR OWN FAULT. We have decided that the soft news of entertainment, sports and celebrity media, is more important than following local and national politics.

You know what you can do proud and patriotic Americans!

You can call your local stations and tell them we want to know more about what's going on in the world. You can buy magazines and newspapers that have reportage of important issues and continue to spend your money in ways that show your beliefs are upheld. You can VOTE having EDUCATED YOURSELF for candidates that represent you!

REMEMBER THE OLD SCHOOL STOCKINGS ?

Remember when you put your own socks out for Santa to fill?

NOT THOSE BIG -BIGGER - BIGGEST shaped-vaguely-like-a-foot things made of red fur but your own socks that you wore to school? Socks that had lost their elastic playing kickball on the school yard. Socks that were getting holes.

Ah! But you had to get to bed early to awake early! Right after the 6 oclock news. While you were laying in your bed - trying so to sleep - you heard strange sounds in the living room!

And inside your sock, the next morning, you would be excited to find an orange, a few walnuts, maybe a Santa made of chocolate, or some special peppermint candies, a few quarters or a roll of pennies, a small toy, like a metal model of a car, or perhaps a doll or a coloring book and crayons.

Maybe there were a few cookies that Santa's reindeer left for you because he had eaten way too many cookies in the neighborhood already!

WHATEVER IT WAS YOU FOUND IN YOUR STOCKING - it was enough!

IT PROVED YOU HAD BEEN REMEMBERED! and were LOVED!

WE WISH YOU A WONDERFUL PEACEFUL HOLIDAY SEASON WHATEVER YOUR RELIGION, WHEREVER YOU ARE AS YOU READ THIS BLOG!

LIBERTY ANGEL

DOES THE UNITED STATES have a GUARDIAN ANGEL of it's own?

NURSES ARE NEEDED - ALWAYS

Then and now nurses are needed. Nurses and those in the medical profession find work plentiful. There are more than enough jobs or we would not be allowing the immigration we do, based on medical expertise.

Of course our health care system is in crisis.

As Americans can we really expect that no matter how we might take care of our health we should have free or low cost health care for just about any illness? Can we absorb the costs of say, a liver transplant, for people who broke our laws and abused drugs? Or what about babies born with AIDS, through no fault of their own?

We don't know the answer to this. We don't want to face the fact that we have a class system here and that those who have lost their health insurance and then their credit have a difficult time saving all that they have worked for and a difficult time getting hired.

THE ANSWERIS ONE OF THOSE THAT IS SIMPLE and at the same time WILL REQUIRE COMPROMISE.

WE NEED TO KEEP JOBS IN AMERICA for AMERICANS and the first thing you can do is BUY AMERICAN - or buy used - or go without !

We know it takes some time and energy.

BUT MAKE A PLEDGE TODAY that you will spend a little extra time and look for that FLYING AMERICAN FLAG on your purchases !
