God Bless America
While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
God bless America, land that I love, "Irving Berlin wrote the song in 1918 while serving the U.S. Army at Camp Upton in Yaphank, New York, but decided that it did not fit in a revue called Yip Yip Yaphank, so he set it aside.[3] ...[until 1940]" (Source) . Watch and listen to the first broadcast below. "The REAL God Bless America! Frank Sinatra considered Kate Smith the best singer of her time, and said that when he and a million other guys first heard her sing "God Bless America" on the radio, they all pretended to have dust in their eyes as they wiped away a tear or two. Here are the facts... The link at the bottom will take you to a video showing the very first public singing of "GOD BLESS AMERICA". But before you watch it, you should also know the story behind the first public showing of the song. The time was 1940. America was still in a terrible economic depression. Hitler was taking over Europe and Americans were afraid we'd have to go to war. It was a time of hardship and worry for most Americans. This was the era just before TV, when radio shows were HUGE, and American families sat around their radios in the evenings, listening to their favorite entertainers, and no entertainer of that era was bigger than Kate Smith. Kate was also large; plus size, as we now say, and the popular phrase still used today is in deference to her, "It ain't over till the fat lady sings". Kate Smith might not have made it big in the age of TV, but with her voice coming over the radio, she was the biggest star of her time. Kate was also patriotic. It hurt her to see Americans so depressed and afraid of what the next day would bring . She had hope for America, and faith in her fellow Americans. She wanted to do something to cheer them up, so she went to the famous American song-writer, Irving Berlin (who also wrote "White Christmas") and asked him to write a song that would make Americans feel good again about their country. When she described what she was looking for, he said he had just the song for her. He went to his files and found a song that he had written, but never published, 22 years before - way back in 1917. He gave it to her and she worked on it with her studio orchestra. She and Irving Berlin were not sure how the song would be received by the public, but both agreed they would not take any profits from God Bless America . Any profits would go to the Boy Scouts of America. Over the years, the Boy Scouts have received millions of dollars in royalties from this song. This video starts out with Kate Smith coming into the radio studio with the orchestra and an audience. She introduces the new song for the very first time, and starts singing. After the first couple verses, with her voice in the background still singing, scenes are shown from the 1940 movie, "You're In The Army Now." At the 4:20 mark of the video you see a young actor in the movie, sitting in an office, reading a paper; it's Ronald Reagan. To this day, God Bless America stirs our patriotic feelings and pride in our country. Back in 1940, when Kate Smith went looking for a song to raise the spirits of her fellow Americans, I doubt whether she realized just how successful the results would be for her fellow Americans during those years of hardship and worry..... and for many generations of Americans to follow. Now that you know the story of the song, I hope you'll enjoy it and treasure it even more. Many people don't know there's a lead in to the song since it usually starts with "God Bless America ....." So here's the entire song as originally sung..... ENJOY!"

The Men Who Started it All -- Lexington and Concord
Ann Coulter: New York Commemorates Patriots Day!, by Ann Coulter 20 Apr 2016. "So that you won’t be fooled by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow claiming Second Amendment supporters were celebrating the Oklahoma City bombing this week — as she has on April 19 in years past — Tuesday was the anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, a date all Americans used to know. " The Men Who Preserved Our Natural Liberties and Freedoms
Have you ever wondered what happened to the fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence? This is the price they paid?
The Greatness of America What was so great about America, before Obama, was that our natural Freedoms (as in natural to all life) were preserved in our US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and previously protected. Among them, the right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, the right to privacy, the right to own guns, and the right to practice a religion without fear of reprisal. Because of our Freedoms, for over two hundred years, our free-market economy has allowed a standard of living that leads all other countries, excepting perhaps most recently those Islamic states that we have made rich by choosing to buy their oil instead of pumping our own. With well over a million legal (and illegal) immigrants coming to the United States each year, and many more that want to come, America has until now been the desired destination and envy of the world. It's also important to note that the social safety net in the War on Poverty has been solved, at great expense -- although the Left would have you believe otherwise -- as reported by Robert J. Samuelson in a Washington Post article, linked under National Morality below. But, issues related to self-improvement and dependent behavior, encouraged by the Left/Democrats/Socialists/Communists/Progressives, for the purpose of securing votes remain to be resolved. But many also hate us for our success: we are despised by control-mined dictators and would-be dictators, fanatical religious regimes, and countries that practice Socialism and Communism.
