If you love your country, or are a Vet...DO NOT READ THIS...
Well Sir....sometimes I'm behind the 8 ball and miss things that I consider important...here's one of them.... I just received this from Susan Gertson, who's son paid the ultimate price for his Country in Iraq. I tried "Snoping" this but Snopes.com had nothing on it....
If you have high bloodpressure and are a patriot...Do Not read this as my bloodpressure literally went through the freaken roof (not good...I already have Hypertension)......
I copied and reprinted this story from Dragon Lady's Den...
Flag-folding Recitals No Longer Allowed at Veterans Cemeteries Nationwide
This is how this country honors it's veterans? Veterans are really pissed off over this, and my husband is one of them!
From Scripps Howard News Service:
Flag-folding recitation banned at veterans cemeteries nationwide.
Through thousands of military burials, Memorial Honor Detail volunteers at Riverside National Cemetery in California have folded the American flag 13 times and recited the significance of every fold to survivors of those being laid to rest.
The first fold, a narrator tells relatives, represents life, the second a belief in eternal life.
The 11th fold celebrates Jewish war veterans and glorifies the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (And that is what is being objected to!)
A single complaint lodged against the words for the 11th fold recently prompted the National Cemetery Administration to ban the entire recital at all 125 national cemeteries.
A spokesman in Washington said the complaint originated from someone who witnessed the ceremony at Riverside National but would provide no other details and declined to release the directive banning the flag-folding recital, saying it was "an internal working document not meant for public distribution."
*Snip*
There are more details and statements from veterans at the link.
I predict all hell is going to break out over this, as it should! Secular progressives are ruining our country at every turn and this is indeed a slap in the faces of every veteran who fought and/or died for this country! We need a march on Washington over this. This can not be allowed to stand!
This post will stay up top until this is turned around or I get sick of looking at it, whichever comes first. To think that I just finished Fractured Friday and was in such a good mood. #!&$%!!!
UDATE: Canadian Sentinel left an excellent idea in the comment section of this post. At his suggestion I'm calling the Alliance Defense Fund. Phone Number: 1-800-TELL-ADF I hope you do too!

ENOUGH of this Secular Progressive shit. We'd damn well better get of our collective ass's (except when blogging about this sort of crap) and start fighting back. If'n ya don't know what a Secular Progressive is, read Bill O'Reilly's "Culture Warrior", but if ya can't, they are secular folks who are either athiests and or do not want religion in any aspect of our society or culture, and they are promoting their agenda at every turn of the road (Progressive).
