American By God's Amazing Grace
Artist: Luke Stricklin
Bottom of my boots sure are gettin' worn
there's a lot of holes in this faded uniform
My hands are black with dirt and so is my face
I aint never been to hell
but it couldn't be any worse than this place.
Tell my wife don't worry 'cause I know what to do
it makes you feel better sometimes, but don't know if it's true.
I know if I die it's just my time to go but I pray to God every day that I may get back home.
Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad
You quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have
'Cause I could be raising my family in this place but I was born an American by Gods Amazing Grace.
For the last twelve months I've had a new address
the neighborhood smells like sewerage and the streets are lined with trash.
You never know what's gonna be the next thing to explode
but unlike these people, I have another home.
It breaks my heart to see these kids out on the streets walking barefoot through the trash, diggin' for something to eat
. I give them what I got, just to let them know I care and I thank God it's not my son that's standing there.
Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have
'Cause I could be raising my family in this place but I was born an American by Gods Amazing Grace.
You want to talk about it, you better keep it short
cause I got a lot of lost time I gotta make up for.
Really don't care why Bush went in to Iraq
I know what I done there and I'm damn sure proud of that. You got somethin' bad to say about the USA you better save it for different ears 'less you want to crawl away.
And I laugh in your face when you say you've got it bad until you've spent some time on the streets of Baghdad
Well when you've seen what I've seen things don't seem so bad
quit worrying 'bout what you aint got, thank God for what you have
'Cause you could be raising your family in this place but you were born in America, By God's Amazing Grace!!!!

"Didn't Bush single handedly "talk down" the economy during the presidential race in 2000?"
Ha!!! What Bush did was tell the truth. A concept unknown to hitlery who only thinks evil politics.
I'm still waiting for the Secret Service to visit Affleck for his little comment.

Hoorah, Johnnie.
Just the medicine I needed to counter this other stuff and remind me that I need to take care of my part of the fight right where I'm standing.

The small constructin outfits are not going to be having union shops, changing their wages or any such thing.
Small farms are not about to become union shops either.
The issue is so full of misrepresentations and simplistic solutions that there is no hope of getting a bill passed.
We might start by insisting that ENGLISH be spoken in every workplace. That illegals are not given admission to ANY colleges. Let alone instate tuition.
That childen of illegals are not permitted into the schools.
These things will go a long way towards keeping people on the other side of the border.
Someone might want to encourage these people to protest in their own countries for all the things they're demanding Americans provide them.

I remember a day when Hollywood stars like Bob Hope, George Murphy, John Wayne, James Stewart, etc. were all patriots. What ever happened to that Hollywood? Why are most of the current stars so dim? What did Angelina ever see in this nothing-brain?
whats with the SPAM?
I stand corrected! I have just read some about the Northgate Omnikey. Apparently, the same spirit lives on in the CVT Avant Stellar keyboard. Mechanical switch keyboard with click and quality keyboard enthusiasts love it. Google "avant stellar" and you'll find what you want. :-) (P.S. It's about $190)
Did you mention Halliburton?
