I too, am tired of liberals trying to brainwash me into what to think, how to think, snd when to think. One great American patriot once said in a "farewell" speech. "Be wary, if you let "Government" get so large that it can take care of all your needs, then it can also take away all of your freedoms". I believe that Patriot was George Washington. By the way here is a question that is sure to stir up controversy, so here goes. I was alive in 1959, and as a grammer school student, we always celebrated George Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's Birthdays as seperate National Holidays. Why did they "disappear"? Is today's "Presidents Day" just a little vague? I want America to recognize George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as the great American heros they are. So to my fellow patriot, Pete Smith, I say your feelings are. "Right On". I am Bill Holst, 57, and I am proud to be an American.

"Right On". So, to my fellow American patriot Charlie Lacombe, I have a two word reply. "Right On".

Today I became enlightened to the truth and history of the Gadsden flag. I am proud that the Bald Eagle, a noble bird of prey, is our National bird. I speculate that the snake Christopher Gadsdsn put on his flag may not be the Timber Rattlesnake that Benjamin Franklin referred to in his publications. South Carolina is a southern state, and as such could have been inhabited by the Eastern Diamond Back, the largest rattlesnake in the U.S. I can be a "snake in the grass" when provoked, however that snake is the Mojave Green Diamond Back, one of the most lethal of our countrys snakes.
