Last month I thought it would be fun to organize a road trip with my 17 year old daughter. We wanted to go some place not too far away but far enough where we felt like we were on a road trip. We decided to go to Memphis. We have both always wanted to see [...]

Recently my husband and I visited Ft. Sill with my in-laws. It was so warming to see the base housing with the flags flying outside the homes. Here are ten guidelines from the VFW on how to fly your flag. The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously The flag is never allowed to [...]
In my opinion Bobby Rush is a dumb ass! I saw him on Fox News last night saying that Roland Burris being turned away yesterday was a racist move. What nerve! I am also tired of any anti-obama person being accused of being racist. Are we going to have to hear this every day for [...]
