I recently saw the St Crispin’s Day speech done by the actor who plays Loki in “The Avengers”.

Absolutely no passion whatsoever. He simply recited, not acted.

Branagh raised the bar, no doubt of it!

I believe in putting Americans first. Poor Americans should come before illegal immigrants, the lives of our troops are more important than the lives of the terrorists they’re fighting and I don't much care what the United Nations or "international law" has to say about anything.

Good read...

Branagh’s version is one of my favorite flix.

Sir Laurence Olivier did a good job of it too, back in the 40s.

It goes beyond that. We wouldn’t put up with leaving our enemies with their ideology intact after those wars. Slavery was ended. Nazism was ended. Japanese militarism was ended.

We won’t face up to the ideology at work here.

*8I respect cops, soldiers, firemen and anybody else who runs toward danger when everyone else runs away. I like feminine women, men who fulfill their responsibilities, and children who’ve been spanked until they’ve learned to treat adults with courtesy. While we’re at it, if your kid is getting in trouble at school, stop blaming the teacher and punish his sorry little butt until he straightens up and flies right. If we had more kids getting spanked and less parents letting them run wild and walk around with their pants hanging below their behinds, we’d have a better country. **

What do parents out there say. My kids were spanked and I have an RN, real estate agent, elementary school teacher, electrician trainer and attorney as adult children now.

Draw your own conclusions.

I treat everyone from janitors to waitresses with respect.

Any job worth doing is worth doing well, and if you don't think folks in more menial jobs are important, just imagine their job left undone...

I deal with people every day who are at times unsure of how well they are doing things, or that their work may fall short, and I give them one standard: "Do your best."

They haven't failed me yet.

Anyone who uses the phrase “African-American” supports the antithesis of this article. I think using that phrase should be ostracized.

That's a start. Ditch all the hyphenations. They are only convenient dividing lines, pigeonholes for the media and those who sow the seeds of destruction.

"American" should be sufficient, first, last, and always.

I am a naturalized citizen. I was born and raised in Germany. I am an American not a German American and it ticks me off if someone asks me if I am German. I tell them no I am an American

Thanks for the heads up.

AS IRON MUNRO THOUGHTFULLY POSTED: Anyone who places foreign ancestry, skin color, sex organs, sexual perversion(s), political agenda and/or personal characteristic before their American citizenship, and the US Constitution, is not presidential material.....and cannot ever be deemed a bona fide American citizen.

That includes the current president on down to hyphenates serving in the US Congress, the senate, and other govt positions. And the scourge of hyphenated pressure groups. All of them doing the bidding of foreign governments advancing the overthrow of the US govt.

“When they come for you (and me) you can rest assured there will be like minded people standing with you in the fight. “

They won’t come for anybody. In another 40 years we’ll all be dead anyway.

This is the greatest country God ever raised up from the muck and any American who isn’t willing to say so has something wrong with him.

Amen to that. Pray for America and prepare.
