Singing a song of Freedom - Holiday Inn

Singing a song of Freedom from the movie Holiday Inn


     It was a time when patriotism counted for something.  When the enemies of this nation were clearly delineated and fought against in unison.  The spirit of liberty was at a zenith because there was a serious danger that it could be lost to the forces that were arrayed against the free world.  

    There are forces today that are also arrayed against the free world but some politicians would rather confuse the populace on just who they are.  However, there remain many who are not so easily confused.  We can only hope they will prevail and win the day.

You're A Grand Old Flag - Yankee Doodle Dandy


What this nation needs right now is a flag waver like George M Cohan; and he, or she, is needed desperately.  Who will come to the fore?  Who will lead us in restoring a patriotic fervor that will replace the division that has all but torn this nation asunder?  

At no other time in this nation's history has there been such a pall over the land as there is now.   Too many are quick and even eager to take offense at what others say and do.  A mighty wedge has been driven through the heartland of America by those who have a vested interest in that division.  It's time to remove that wedge and restore unity for it will and always will be, "United we stand, divided we fall."  

And those who complain about flag waving one can only reply "Can you think of a better flag to wave?".
