"America's Patriot Email"..........WE GAIN STRENGTH...COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE BY
EVERY
EXPERIENCE IN WHICH WE REALLY STOP TO LOOK FEAR IN THE FACE....WHEN
WE ARE ABLE TO SAY TO OURSELVES "WE LIVED THROUGH THE HORROR" WE CAN
TAKE THE NEXT THING THAT COMES ALONG...STAND TALL...STAND
PROUD..~TODAY IS FLAG DAY..Everyone is asked to wear
the Red White and the Blue....~Finally I have attached an Email
with a Commentary by a Canadian TV Broadcaster about the USA...A very
nice thing from our close Friend - CANADA...PLEASE read this great commentary
Listen to what an
outside observer says about our GREAT COUNTRY...GOD BLESS THE
USA....:
America: The Good Neighbor.

Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a
remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a
Canadian
television commentator.

What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed
in the Congressional Record:

"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as
the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all
the
earth."

Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were
lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in
billions of
dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries
is
today
paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the
Americans who
propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on
the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that
hurries
in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by
tornadoes.

Nobody helped.

The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars
into
discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing
about
the decadent, warmongering Americans.

I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the
erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any
other
country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the
Lockheed
Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them?

Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?

Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman
on
the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios.
You
talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.

You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon-
not
once, but several times-and safely home again. You talk about
scandals,
and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody
to
look at.

Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here
on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian
laws,
are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down
through
age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania
Railroad
and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old
caboose.

Both are still broke.

I can name you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of
other
people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else
raced
to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help
even
during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is
damned tired
of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing
with
their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their
nose at
the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope
Canada is
not one of those."



Stand proud, America!


This is one of the best editorials that I have ever read regarding
the
United States. It is nice that one man realizes it. I only wish that
the
rest of the world would realize it. We are seem to be blamed for
everything,
and don't get a thank you for the things we do. I would hope that
each of
you would send this to as many people as you can and emphasize that
they
should send it to as many of their friends until this letter is sent
to
every person on the web. I am just a single American that has read
this, I

SURE HOPE THAT A LOT MORE READ

IT SOON.

Makes you proud to live here doesn't it??

OUTSTANDING!!! That's rthe Flag Day "Field of Dreams Today"..Be Safe..Be
Broud..And NEVER let go..."Sic Semper Tyrannis"....Let's Roll!!
