A West Virginia innkeeper who started letting military families stay free for Veterans Day in 2008 has recruited 400 inns across the U.S. and Canada as part of an initiative to offer free rooms this fall. Nearly 400 independently owned inns, including five in Canada, had signed on to offer free rooms Nov. 10, the night before Veterans Day. Most of the establishments are small: The average size of a bed-and-breakfast in the U.S. is five or six rooms, according to an industry group. Some participants can spare just a single room, while The Colonial Inn in Smithville, N.J., is offering 20 of its 24. A valid military or Veterans Administration ID is required for each reservation. Many innkeepers are ex-military, including 20-year Army veteran Jess Beaty, who is making two rooms available at the 5 Continents Bed and Breakfast in New Orleans, La.  "I commanded a unit three times, and I just feel very strongly we should take care of the troops," said Beaty, who offers discounts to veterans year-round. For a complete list of participating Bed and Breakfast establishments, go to http://www.bnbsforvets.org/participants.html   Thanks for serving. Please pass this information along to others.

NOSTALGIA TIME--"Sylvia"

Yes, this fits for this blog site.  Here's how:   Sylvia was an act out of the 1980s, thus... She was big when Palin grew up. Her era was the Reagan era, and Palin is Reagan II. Even as Reagan's Presidency brought about 1950s nostalgia, Palin's will bring about 1980s nostalgia (at least if I have anything to say about it it will!).       BLAST FROM THE PAST! Back when music was good, and country music was the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhrcmDFt02c&NR=1 Sylvia - Your nobody called today www.youtube.com oldie 10 minutes ago       TWO-FER!

It's my 100th video! This song reached #2 on the Billboard Country chart in late 1982 and was on the chart for 20 weeks (RCA 13330). It's such a shame that not much by Sylvia is available today. She had many amazing songs and was a huge talent!   2 seconds ago

"Communist Party USA Teams up with Democrats on 'Get Out The Vote.'"

The American people are without excuse. If they are indeed liberated from what they did in 2008, they should bow down and thank those few that led them to freedom. http://redwhitebluenews.com/?p=11072 Communist Party USA Teams up with Democrats on redwhitebluenews.com If this doesn't show supporters of the "New" Democratic Party that their party has been hijacked by the Progressives and Communist agendas then I don't know what will. They are not even hiding it any longer....."in your face" type of support. 16 minutes ago

(From ACT! for America) "DHS swears in an Islamist"

Date: Friday, October 29, 2010, 1:50 PM Visit our News page DHS swears in an Islamist Elections have consequences Dear Lee, On the weekend before the crucial mid-term elections, we bring you the juxtaposition of two recent events. First, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano swore in three new members of the Homeland Security Advisory Council—one of whom, Mohamed Elibiary, was a speaker at a 2004 event honoring the Ayatollah Khomeini! When a Dallas Morning News reporter exposed Elibiary, Elibiary threatened him. Incredibly, Elibiary is someone Napolitano believes should now be on the Homeland Security Advisory Council. Second, two weeks ago German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in an obvious reference to the tidal wave of Muslim immigrants to Germany, made the stunning statement that multiculturalism in Germany has "totally failed." This is emblematic of the broader pushback against the rising threat of radical Islam that is occurring throughout Europe—except, as celebrated author Melanie Phillips points out, in Great Britain (see story below). Europe is beginning to understand the threat of radical Islam. More and more of the American people are beginning to understand the threat of radical Islam. Unfortunately, it is clear that much of the Obama administration, as illustrated by Napolitano's latest blunder, does not. Elections have consequences. Please remember this when you vote. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.7684/pub_detail.asp October 19, 2010 Britain: Groveling Alone Melanie Phillips Angela Merkel has got the point. Multiculturalism has failed, she states flatly, as she surveys western Europe going down under the tide of radical Islam. Rather than liberal society creating the utopia of harmonious cultural pluralism, it is being swallowed whole by the giant predator whose voracious mouth it encourages, in the spirit of tolerance, to open ever wider in the unshakeable belief of western liberals that the jaws about to snap shut around their necks are actually stretched wide in a smile. All over mainland Europe, a few shoes are belatedly – maybe too late -- starting to drop. France and Belgium have banned the burqa and other countries are debating doing the same. Switzerland has banned minarets. Denmark has imposed ferocious limits on immigration. In the Netherlands the prosecution in the case against the Dutch politician Geert Wilders for allegedly inciting religious hatred -- through his criticism of Islamic hatred -- has thrown in the towel and asked the judges to acquit him of all charges. See here for an authoritative analysis of the significance of this. And so what of dear old Blighty, the country which in 1940 stood alone against the threat to democratic life and liberty and the values of western liberalism? Is the shoe of reality starting to drop in the UK too? A report by Quilliam about City University, central London, states that a hard-line Islamist ideology is being promoted through the leadership of the university's student Islamic Society, leading to increased religious tensions on campus and to the intimidation and harassment of staff, students and members of minority groups by extremists and increasing the risks of students turning to terrorism. Ahmadi Muslims in south London have been targeted by Islamists in a hate campaign, and a Muslim woman in Bradford has died after being set on fire (via JihadWatch), underlining the fact that Muslims are themselves front-line victims of Islamic jihadis and sharia law. And in the Sunday Telegraph, Andrew Gilligan continues to chronicle the remorseless takeover of an entire London borough, Tower Hamlets, by the radicals of the Islamic Forum of Europe using intimidation, infiltration and corruption: According to one of its own leaflets, the IFE – based at the hardline East London Mosque in Tower Hamlets – wants to change the 'very infrastructure of society, its institutions, its culture, its political order and its creed … from ignorance to Islam.' The group is accused by one of the area's Labour MPs, Jim Fitzpatrick, of infiltrating and 'corrupting' his party in a way similar to the Militant Tendency in the 1980s. The response of other newspapers to what's going on in Tower Hamlets? As far as I can make out, deafening silence. And what is the response of the rest of the British thinking classes to this and countless other signs of increasing Islamisation and Islamic radicalisation in Britain? The hitherto resolutely counter-counter-cultural think-tank Civitas, which in the past has produced some outstanding social and cultural analysis, has just published a set of essays on Women, Islam and Western Liberalism in which one author, Alveena Malik, states that the full-face Islamic veil, or niqab, should be regarded '...as part of a modern British way of life.' She continued: 'The wearing of religious symbols, including the full veil, should be a fundamental human right of an individual in both the public and private sphere. The real test for religious symbols in the public sphere should always be: "Does the wearing of a symbol (such as the kirpan, turban, yarmulke, crucifix and the veil) hinder a citizen's ability to perform their public civic duties?"' Britain is in a 'unique' position to embrace such a public display of faith because of the role the church plays in the affairs of the state and its 'multicultural diversity'. To be fair, the Civitas pamphlet contains other views which profoundly disagree with this. Even so, the idea that advocating as 'part of the British way of life' the niqab, which presents such an obvious danger to security as well as intimidating non-radical Muslim women, inciting religious subversion by serving as a symbolic call to arms against western values and destroying the equality inherent in human interaction by virtue of the simple act that we can all see each other's faces – the idea that this is, as Civitas appears to suggest, a contribution towards liberal diversity, is simply grotesque. And here's the thing: the Telegraph also tells us: Mrs Malik was appointed by last government to a panel of faith advisers for the Department for Communities. She has overseen British Council guidance on 'intercultural dialogue'. It looks horribly like, seventy years on, Britain is now once again alone -- this time, though, not standing but grovelling on its knees before those bent upon the extinction of freedom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure you receive all of your messages from ACT for America.
