Upgrading the memory of a computer can improve performance dramatically. So can upgrading the memory of a nation. But before you upgrade the memory of a computer, it is best to check what memory you have. To do this you can download simple software. My purpose here is to do the same thing for our national memory. Test your memory: Click on link.

You can learn a lot about those with whom you disagree by just listening to what they are saying about Barack Obama. Strangely, sometimes they say the same thing you do, but they see it as positive instead of disastrous. That’s the case with an op-ed in the New York Times today, where writer Roger Cohen sums up what he calls “The Obama Doctrine” very well. Cohen agrees with Obama, and believes his approach to the world is realistic and correct, but his description of “The Obama Doctrine” really sums up Obama’s ideology when it comes to America, and our...

Sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words.

Most singers who turn into stars on “America Idol” take months to get the attention of the national media. Carmina Salcido got the paparazzi treatment on the first day of tryouts. Hungry and exhausted, the 24-year-old Sonoma resident walked out of San Francisco's AT&T Park around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, more than 15 hours after she arrived at the stadium. Waiting for her were camera crews from local and national media, including E entertainment and ABC News 20/20, though Salcido almost seemed too tired to care. “You guys are lucky I didn't make a run for it as soon as I...

I am THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I love my country. I love my constitution. I love my freedom. I am angry. I am not racist. I am frustrated but I am determined. I am THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I will support you as long as you stand up for me. I want choices. I want the consequence of my choices. I NEED the consequence of my choices. It is those consequences that show me whether I chose rightly or wrongly. I am charitable but I am not a charity. I have money to give but not to take. Some members of Congress...

American Muslims are debating key questions of loyalty to America, a debate in which the stakes could not be higher. Alarmingly, "no fewer than four United States citizens and a permanent U.S. resident have risen to senior leadership posts within al-Qaeda," according to an Investors Business Daily editorial by Paul Sperry. Thus, "five English-speaking leaders are actively planning or facilitating attacks against their countrymen, while recruiting and radicalizing other American turncoats to carry them out." The implications of this are frightening. No longer is America at war with a foreign enemy. The enemy is here -- an enemy who understands...

Right Wing Bloggers Choose '25 Worst Figures In American History' The blog Right Wing News asked "more than a hundred bloggers" who they thought were the worst people in American history. The results may shock you! Or maybe not. Jane Fonda makes the cut, along with FDR. Let's look. This question was put out to over 100 crazies with internet connections: Out of all the gangsters, serial killers, mass murderers, incompetent & crooked politicians, spies, traitors, and ultra left-wing kooks in all of American history — have you ever wondered who the worst of the worst was?" Some of the...

The following is an article taken word for word from The Praavda, a former Communist propaganda rag, now reformed and warning the US not to go down the road of Communism that enslaved Russia for 70 years. It's kind of like the old song, "House of the Rising Sun," werein the singer tells mothers to warn their children not to do what he has done. --Editor, WebToday It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse...

What it is ain’t exactly clear…. That’s the impression I get when I talk to people of the 20 something generation. They know something’s not right. They know they are getting screwed, they just aren’t sure how or why. Blame the media for that. Blame our education system for that. Heck, we can even blame ourselves for that. But it’s all changing now. ....

Seven puppies die after American Airlines flight landsCHICAGO - American Airlines has launched an investigation into what caused the death of seven puppies aboard a flight that landed in O'Hare International Airport Tuesday morning. American Airlines spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan said 15 puppies were aboard Flight 851 that left Tulsa, Oklahoma at 7:30 a.m. and arrived at O'Hare shortly about an hour and a half later. "We're not certain if the puppies died during the flight or later, because we still have to talk to the employees who handled them. We plan to do that today," she said. "They may...

The church is shrinking; Christians get divorced more than anyone else; non-Christians have a very low opinion of Christians. That’s the bad news many people hear when it comes to Christianity in the United States. And a lot of it is lies, says sociologist Bradley R. E. Wright, of Storrs, Conn. Wright presents an analysis of previous research in his new book, Christians Are Hate-Filled Hypocrites … and Other Lies You’ve Been Told, to offer readers a more accurate view of American Christianity. He acknowledges that it’ll be difficult to change popular beliefs about Christianity and Christians even with more...

Oprah Winfrey, the ‘queen’ of American TV, has offered the cash-strapped Duchess of York her own prime-time chat show. Billionaire Oprah, 56, is launching her own cable channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network, next January, and last week called the scandal-hit Duchess to offer her a deal. A source close to Sarah Ferguson said last night: ‘Oprah made the call this week. They spoke in person and, for Sarah, the offer is a ray of light at the end of a very dark tunnel. ‘Oprah has known Sarah for some time and the Duchess went on Oprah’s show to explain herself...

Dear Helen Thomas: With a great deal of disappointment I watched your interview, replayed over and over on television, in which you said that Jews should “go back home to Poland and Germany.” I find it both appalling and unsettling that someone with your level of journalistic accomplishment would lack a basic knowledge of Middle Eastern history. So please allow me to make the case as to why Israel has a historical, legal and moral right to exist as a Jewish state in the Middle East. According to the Arab-Palestinian-Muslim narrative, Israel is an alien colony recently planted in the...

Thank you to all of our supporters- I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with each of you. Dear Fellow Patriots, Today I was proud and truly humbled when we publicly released our 2nd Quarter fundraising numbers. Between April and June, our campaign raised over $1.4 million, bringing our total amount raised to nearly $3.5 million. While these numbers are certainly impressive, the real strength of our campaign lies in the fact that over the course of this election cycle, almost 96% of our donations have come from individual contributions. Over 40,000 people from Florida's Congressional District 22...

Terry Anderson, who called himself the Prisoner of South Central (Los Angeles) died earlier today, and the silence is already deafening. For more than a decade, Terry had broadcast his loud and angry Sunday night radio show from Los Angeles under the motto of: "Articulating The Popular Rage" His constant tag-line was: "If You Ain't Mad, You Ain't Payin' Attention" When blue-collar Black Americans across the nation began to lose control of their neighborhoods, their occupations, their schools and their livelihoods because of immigration during the 1990s, Terry -- above all others -- refused to be silent. For more than...

Our country has become a country of Americans and other people who just live here. It pains me because I believe that this will change our nation from greatness to mediocrity. I saw the flag wave as I stood at attention during the playing of our national anthem. It was simply sublime. I could see the tears well up in the eyes of my brother, a twenty-year Army veteran. I could feel the tears in my own eyes. The song pulled at the heartstrings of every member of our family. But not everyone in the crowd felt that way. Not...

We are hearing all sorts of reasons why the United States is doomed to decline. After all, America is piling up deficits at a record rate of about $1.5 trillion a year while other countries are slashing their spending. The national debt cascades over $13 trillion and is on track to reach $20 trillion within a decade. The current recession is heading into its third year. Unemployment still hovers at nearly 10 percent. Much of the country thinks the war in Afghanistan is as good as lost. There are more than 80,000 American troops deployed there, along with nearly 50,000...

Critics who complain about his favorable depiction of Hugo Chavez and other Latin American leaders are spreading “mythologies,” director Oliver Stone said Friday night after a Santa Monica screening of his film “South of the Border.” Stone participated in a Q&A session at Laemmle’s Monica 4-Plex after the screening, which was picketed by protesters who felt that his documentary’s positive look at anti-imperialist leaders in Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina and other countries overlooked the economic ills and repressive policies of countries like Chavez’s Venezuela. Actress Maria Conchita Alonso, who earlier in the week told theWrap that Stone’s depiction of Chavez was...

Fourth of July by the numbersOver $600 million will be spent on fireworks, $111.1 million on charcoal by Natalie Doss Forbes updated 7/2/2010 9:37:56 AM Economic woes don't stop America's patriotic spirit. This year citizens will celebrate the Fourth of July in numbers as big as ever. In fact, they could spend upward of $3 billion on holiday weekend parties, food, entertainment and travel. According to the National Retail Federation's 2010 Independence Day Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey (conducted by BIGresearch, a consumer research firm based in Worthington, Ohio), 87.8 percent of all Americans will take part in some sort...

For more than 200 years, the American flag has been the symbol of our nation’s strength and unity. It’s been a source of pride and inspiration for millions of citizens. And the American Flag has been a prominent icon in our national history. Here are the highlights of its unique past. On January 1, 1776, the Continental Army was reorganized in accordance with a Congressional resolution which placed American forces under George Washington’s control. On that New Year’s Day the Continental Army was laying siege to Boston which had been taken over by the British Army. Washington ordered the Grand...

Close to where I live there was a huge American Flag and now it is gone but the pole is still standing. There was nothing wrong with it and it was in really good shape etc so there was no reason to take it down. Has anyone else noticed anything like this around where you are?

NEW YORK, N.Y. (AP) -- Britain's Prince Harry says the bonds between British and American military veterans are strong but can be even stronger. Harry spoke Friday on the flight deck of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City during a reception for U.S. and British veterans and their families. The third in line to the British throne said his country can learn from American advances in veterans' care and rehabilitation.....
