Click to skip to the bottom of this long post.BIGGER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINENo president or set of politicians can keep a nation from falling to communism if the people are willing to comply with tyranny and compromise with injustice.I believe President Trump and “The Plan” worked to get us on our feet before the time came that they would not be in a position to advocate action, because now those patriots would be portrayed as enacting a coup.Throughout the President Trump’s first term, we trained up. Yet when Biden took office, and the training wheels came off, Americans still...

I am a Vietnam Era Vet. At age 75, I feel in good general condition. My PTSD is not related to any notable physical trauma. The more significant injury with ongoing pain & suffering is the lack of empathy from the leadership who conduct the affairs that use resources for their personal interests in spite of the national interests that we have sworn to support & defend. What we are becoming increasingly aware of, are the organized behaviors of individuals who seek power & wealth by any means regardless of the health or life of the very ones who provide...

Thank you for all those who prayed for me! To recap, my company was either going to close shop or fire half of crew: https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3739606/posts Things dragged on a bit and the job was to last a bit longer while job searching. Now things look better and I can stay for another 1-1.5 years if I wanted. However, I took another job offer which pays a bit less but I can sleep better at night. I think I'll face the same situation next year or the one after. The company is not well run and the co-workers are slackers/low performers....

Saying “God bless you” after someone sneezes is listed as a microaggression on a lengthy “anti-oppression” guide posted online by Simmons College. “This guide is intended to provide some general information about anti-oppression, diversity, and inclusion as well as information and resources for the social justice issues key to the Simmons College community,” it states, adding “this guide is by no means exhaustive.” Yet it includes hyperlinks to more than 100 resources, such as articles and videos, and boasts eight different subsections: anti-oppression, anti-racism, anti-transmisia, anti-ableism, anti-Islamomisia, anti-sanism, anti-queermisia and social justice zines. The guide’s authors explain that they replaced...

Massachusetts college librarians state that wishing someone a “Merry Christmas” or saying “God bless you” if they sneeze is an act of “Islamomisic microaggression”. Librarians at Simmons College in Boston have banded together to write what they have titled The Anti-Oppression Library Guide. While controversial, the guide is intended as a resource to promote equality and limit religious oppression. While the guide is not an official policy of Simmons College, some of its beliefs have already made their way to reports in mainstream media outlets like Fox News. Librarians at the college argue that “Islamomisic Microaggressions are commonplace verbal or...

I have a problem with substance abuse and ask my brother Freepers if together we might form a union like AA.Most of us are Christians and Jews...not of that crowd which honors an amorphous higher authority.But even those who are honoring said higher authority should be welcome I guess.I have been abstaining but would love support of my brothers and sister in this war.

[Yesterday] on San Diego 6 News at 10 pm, the local news channel presented a story on Valentine's Day cards and packages that are currentlly being prepared for U.S. Military troops by individual civilians. During this segment a young lady read a sample card that would be sent to one of the troops. The closed captioning service, used by the hearing impaired, accurately displayed what was being read until it came to the words "God bless you." For some reason, those three words were left out ...

"Banishment" from a Public Library? August 20, 2005 I recently received a letter from a local Public Library that was not unexpected. Over the years I have sought to educate the public with regard to the murder of the preborn. Public libraries are a great place to disperse information. In most Public Libraries you can find books with graphic nudity, perversion, introductions to the sodomite lifestyle and the like. The American Library Association will let most anything pass as "good literature" and they raise their voice against "censorship" if ever a "prudish" individual questions a selection in the collection of...

Just heard it on CNN now...

Ten months after he was fired from a veterans' cemetery for saying blessings at flag ceremonies, honor guardsman Patrick Cubbage returned to work today - only to discover that he is still barred from giving the blessing. "It's worse than before," Cubbage said by cell phone as he drove home from Brig. Gen. William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Wrightstown. "No one said 'God bless you.' I was out 10 months for this?" Cubbage, 54, of Northeast Philadelphia, thought he had won a settlement last month that guaranteed guards the right to say "God bless you and your family,...

The New Jersey honor guardsman who was fired for saying "God bless you and this family, and God bless the United States of America" during grave-side burial services for veterans has won his job back – with back pay. As WorldNetDaily reported, Vietnam combat veteran Patrick Cubbage believed he was only following orders in giving the blessing as he presented a folded flag to the fallen veteran's family. He cited the federal flag presentation protocol detailed in training literature he was given when he began working as a part-time guardsman at the Brig. Gen. William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery...

Patrick Cubbage, the honor guardsman fired last year from a New Jersey military cemetery for saying "God bless you" to veterans' families at graveside services, has been reinstated with back pay. "I'm glad it's over - well, I hope it's over," Cubbage, a 54-year-old former Philadelphia police officer, said yesterday. He returns to work Monday. But the principle at stake - just when an honor guard is permitted to say a blessing - remains uncertain. Cubbage's supervisors at Brig. Gen. William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Wrightstown, N.J., fired him in October because he regularly finished flag presentations with...
