Agree with this decision, just as I supported flying Vietnamese flags at half staff when McCain died.

Rush was a great supporter of our military in ways he kept very private. He well deserves such an honor.....and I’m certain our military would agree..... All warriors don’t wear uniforms.

his public support and fund raising for military families was epic.

That would be a hoot. Can't wait to see residents of Broward and Dade counties fleeing in mass to Cuba in makeshift boats..

Well they can, but only one of a same state pair can count electoral votes from their state. Which would hurt given Florida’s haul.

Also should be done in his birth state of MO, where he already was in the state hall of fame.

The limitation is in the original constitution. The most recent consequence came in 2000. Dick Cheney had to scramble to reclaim his WY residence, because even though he was known as the former REP from WY he’d then been working in the oil industry and living in TX.

Millions of American citizens who have been educated in, (or have educated themselves the principles and ideas which caused America to be the symbol of freedom and opportunity all oppressed people, are now supporting Trump for President. They were, then, labeled and "compartmentalized" (Clinton) by that other candidate who was desperate, as "the deplorables."

How revolting and un-American that such a person should present himself/herself as worthy of being their President!

Please review the following story and words of a Democrat from an earlier time in America's history.

Would Hillary call him a "deplorable"?

The American's Creed


"I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a Republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principls of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my Country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."

Historical Notes: The American's Creed was a result of a nationwide contest for writing a National Creed, which would be a brief summary of the American political faith founded upon things fundamental in American history and tradition.

The contest was the idea of Henry Sterling Chapin, Commissioner of Education of New York State. Over three thousand entries were received, and William Tyler Page was declared to be the winner.

James H. Preston, the mayor of Baltimore, presented an award to Page in the House of Representatives Office Building on April 3, 1918.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the commissioner of education of the state of New York accepted the Creed for the United States, and the proceedings relating to the award were printed in the Congressional Record of April 13, 1918. It was a time when patriotic sentiments were very much in vogue. The United States had been a participant in World War I only a little over a year at the time the Creed was adopted.

The author of the American's Creed, William Tyler Page, was a descendant of John Page, who had come to America in 1650 and had settled in Williamsburg, Virginia. Another ancestor, Carter Braxton , had signed the Declaration of Independence. Still another ancestor, John Tyler, was the tenth president of the United States. William Tyler Page had come to Washington at the age of thirteen to serve as a Capitol Page. Later he became an employee of the Capitol building and served in that capacity for almost sixty-one years. In 1919 he was elected clerk of the House. Thirteen years later, when the Democrats again became a majority party, they created for Page the office of minority clerk of the House of Representatives. He held this position for the remainder of his life.

Referring to the Creed, Page said: "It is the summary of the fundamental principles of the American political faith as set forth in its greatest documents, its worthiest traditions, and its greatest leaders." His wording of the Creed used passages and phrases from the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and Daniel Webster's reply to Robert Y. Hayne in the Senate in 1830.
