From Aug 10, 2010 (amazed I found this in my mountain of bookmarks!):

[quoting]
Ruby Bartlett of Ramona [Oklahoma] would like to announce that her boyfriend Specialist Joe Whetstone of Bartlesville will be entering the Tulsa Airport and will be greeted by the Patriot Guard Riders.

The Patriot Guard Rider’s assist in “coming home welcomes” as well as burial needs.

Ruby would like to ask anyone wanting to participate in the welcome home to make posters or just stand along the road waving this young man back to his family.

...The Patriot Guard Riders will meet Spc. Whetstone at the Tulsa Airport.

He will be saluted by The Guard Riders and they will hold a small ceremony at the airport. The Guard Riders will escort Whetstone all the way to his home in Bartlesville.

Beautiful, isn't it! And as Khemo noted, quite a contrast to the shameful way those returning from Nam were sometimes greeted. In a way, we're still making up for that, and I think of that every time I thank a vet for his or her service. The website in the article is www.patriotguard.org. Check it out for more info!

Might it not be, sometimes, the RINO you know better than the devil you don't?

Another day to be grateful that Algore never was and never will be President of the United States!

Anyone who looks at these videos might notice a certain recurring theme. I certainly did

Supercongress completely shreds Article 1 Section 1 of the Constitution.

Our nation honors our military... except during peace, during war, when they come home, and when they die. Other than that, we're so proud of them! :(

John "Wormtongue" McCain parrots an absurd editorial.

Why did so many alleged Constitutional conservatives vote against our engagement in Libya in principle but vote for it in dollars, and have seen no answers? And will Uncle Sam be pushed off a cliff?

What's on my mind today, besides sorrow for the dead, wounded, and emotionally traumatized of Norway, is how "one thing pushes out another" as Mr Butterburr said.

Congress cannot even impeach him because, not being the actual President, he cannot be "removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors"

Years ago, in Chicago, we sometimes visited Toguri's, a Japanese import shop owned and operated by one of the so-called "Tokyo Roses."

One is a slick weasel who undermined the country and helped embolden our enemy. The other is… oh, wait…

We don't need to get jumpy and impose rules which twist the law to ban what we dislike today but which will be used to ban what we like tomorrow when the Other Party is in power.
