The Marines in Iraq

What is it about Marines that make them so special?  When called upon to serve they do not ask why – they merely pack their bags and go.  They do what is asked of them.  They believe in their hearts that their missions are honorable – that they are in the service of America. How […]

Johnny Horton sings Republican Theme Songs

Johnny Horton sang a bunch of ballads for a couple of decades. The Republicans seem to have taken up the mantle of Horton in the 2008 Presidential Election.
