In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns the rattle of musketry the strange mournful mutter of the battlefield.

The American flag is an enduring symbol of liberty democracy and justice. It is fitting that the House act to protect it as we approach our nation's birthday and as our men and women in uniform rally behind it in Iraq's battlefields.

Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man.

Situational unawareness in the private marketplace or on the battlefield will cost you your livelihood or your life. In the Age of Obama however such willful ignorance is a job prerequisite. The less you know the better.
