you can help out in any way thanks october 11 2007 tags the rock 503rd infantry airborne afghanistan troop support troop support leave a comment talking out both sides of your mouth hmmm pelosi statement on judiciary and intelligence committees passing fisa reform bill wednesday october 10 2007 contact brendan daly nadeam elshami 202 226 7616 washington d c speaker nancy pelosi issued the following statement today after the house judiciary and intelligence committees each approved a bill to amend the foreign intelligence surveillance act fisa the intelligence and judiciary committees have approved a bill to restore constitutional checks and balances read no way we re going to let you do anything to the way electronic surveillance is used to gather intelligence the restore act gives the government all the tools necessary to acquire under the law the intelligence that can keep our country safe except the ones you all don t like at the same time the bill protects the privacy of americans by putting the fisa court back in business and assuring strong oversight of surveillance activities by congress the two committees also reaffirmed congress constitutional role by refusing to consider granting retroactive immunity to companies that participated in the president s warrantless surveillance programs until the administration has provided congress with full information about those programs hell i wouldn t give you all my dogs rabies vaccine number we can and must protect and defend the constitution as we protect and defend the american people how by making it near impossible for our intelligence guys to act on the intelligence oh that s a good one pelosi proud of her house we ve drained swamp by naftali bendavid notable quotes we have drained the swamp pelosi said we have passed historic legislation oh i wouldn t say that you murtha jefferson kerry kennedy waters woolsey reid and durbin to name just a few are still holding seats and what historic legislation keeping funds for our troops hostage for your political agenda it s historic all right never has there been so much use of the troops as pawns so blatantly while this country is at war it is not just the opinion of the base of the democratic party that this war should end it s the opinion of the american people largely across the board pelosi said keep saying that and clap your hands 3 times and think happy thoughts democrats independents and a reasonable chunk of the republican party as well they want the war to end they don t want to hear about 60 votes in the senate just do it you know who really wants the war to end nancy try the soldiers over there fighting it it s just that they don t want it to end in defeat again it goes against everything they stand for which is something you apparently have no clue about they re so much better than that we have to make responsible decisions in the congress that are not driven by the dissatisfaction of anybody who wants the war to end tomorrow pelosi said god bless them for their passion on this issue i believe that mostly they are right but i do believe that we are responsible for the responsible safe redeployment read defeated of our troops out of iraq and that is what we will continue to fight for if only you would use all that energy to fight for our country pelosi then launched into a surprisingly personal description of the protesters camped outside her house i ve had for four or five months people sitting outside my home going into my garden in san francisco angering my neighbors hanging their clothes from the trees building all kinds of things buddhas i don t know what they are what this you re not in touch with your buddha within no wonder you re having such a hard time with your base couches sofas permanent living facilities on my front sidewalk just imagine what their homes look like you can imagine my neighbors reaction to all of this and if they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk they would be arrested for loitering hmmm maybe in your neighborhood not necessarily anyone else s but because they have impeach bush across their chest it s the first amendment four or five months into that so i m well aware of the unhappiness of the base smack down but hey she understands read this from one of the very upset with nancy anti war folks 10 10 2007 pelosi defends removal of god from flag certificates of course she does it offends so many of her base and god knows she doesn t want all those atheists cluttering up her lawn it might intrude on all her praying for president bush to come to his senses and see things her way and i thought democrats hated corporations don t they a gap billionaire s museum in pelosi s privatized national park by naturelover tuesday oct 9th

members of fallen soldiers buried in section 60 of the cemetery who helped her to place the roses to read the rest of holly s story you can go here these brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday for that i am proud to call them hero we should not only mourn these men and women who died we should also thank god that such people lived this post is part of the wednesday hero blogroll for more information about wednesday hero or if you would like to post it on your blog you can go here october 10 2007 wednesday hero leave a comment the flag is more than just fabric i was surfing around the blogs and came upon this post from eagles ii usa don t tread on me it starts out with video of jim broussard taking down the us flag which was flying underneath a mexican flag at a bar in reno nevada a lot of folks in the blogosphere have been discussing this and seem to be stuck on the theft part of it and not the why and many don t seem to know that flying another country s flag above the us flag is illegal another sad example of what is not being taught in our schools any more display of united states flag with flags of other nations or of states the flag code sets out rules for position and manner of display of the flag in 4 u s c 7 the question as to the propriety of flying the flag of another nation at an equal level with that of the flag of the u s is not clear from the face of the statute section 7 contains two subsections on point and these provisions appear to becontradictory subsection 7 c states c no other flag or pennant should be placed above or if on the same level to the right of the flag of the united states of america except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the navy no person shall display the flag of the united nations or any other national or international flag equal above or in a position of superior prominence or honor to or in place of the flag of the united states or any territory or possession thereof provided that nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the united nations in a position of superior prominence or honor and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor with that of the flag of the united states at the headquarters of the united nations subsection 7 g states g when flags of two or more nations are displayed theyare to be flown from separate staffs of the same height the flags should be of approximately equal size international usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace 41 the wording of 7 g is identical to that of the original flag code enacted in 1942 42 the second sentence of 7 c prohibiting flying international flags equal in height to the flag of the united states was not in the original flag code this provision was added in 1953 43 the legislative history of this amendment clearly states that is purpose was to make it an offense against the united states to display the flag of the united nations or any other national or international flag equal to above or in a position of superior prominence or honor to or in place of the flag of the united states at any place within the united states or any possession or territory thereof 44 the only exception recognized is at the headquarters of the united nations i for one am glad he did what he did you see for me our flag is more than just fabric every stripe every star on our flag is symbolic of men and women who fought and died for this country and all the precious freedoms that are at it s soul to have someone from another country come here and even become a citizen and then fly their country of origin s flag over their adopted country s flag is so wrong nevermind illegal it is something to be defended not just for the fabric it s made of but for what it represents mike gallagher talks to vet who cut down mexican flag go to eagle ii s post and read about pow veterans written about there and what they felt about their flag then think about those who so blithely burn the flag or even worse right here in their country just because you can doesn t mean you should decency and respect seem to be going the way of common sense more and more in this country and don t even get me started on that nonsense dissent is patriotic it most certainly is not when done in such a manner wwii army rangers salute
