Pass this along to anyone who needs a reminder that we live in the greatest country in the world. Let’s stop apologizing for who we are. We’re Americans.

American Heart by Jon David

They say our reputation needs a new coat of paint and a delicate melody.
But I say I like the bruises, ’cause a melody don’t mean a thing if we don’t have the strength to say,
And I won’t be made to ever feel ashamed

That I’m American made!
I’ve got American parts.
Got American faith, in America’s heart.
Go on, raise the flag, I’ve got stars in my eyes.
I’m in love with her, and I won’t apologize!

They say that we need changin’!
(As if all the Founding Fathers seemed to get it wrong.)
But I say I still believe in the greatest liberator, innovator, cultivator freedom knows.
So, I suggest you take a look inside, ’cause I think you changed already.
You went and lost your pride.

That I’m American made!
I’ve got American parts.
Got American faith, in America’s heart.
Go on, raise the flag, I’ve got stars in my eyes.
I’m in love with her, and I won’t apologize!

God bless them both, for educating and awakening the sleeping giant.

Who’d have thought a history buff with a quirky sense of humor and a chalkboard could make for such riveting television? Glenn’s like the high school government teacher so many wish they’d had, charting and connecting ideas with chalk-dusted fingers — kicking it old school — instead of becoming just another talking-heads show host. Self-taught, he’s become America’s professor of common sense, sharing earnestly sought knowledge with an audience hungry for truth. Glenn, 46, tackles topics other news shows would regard as arcane. Consider his desire to teach Americans about the history of the progressive movement: he’s doing to progressive what Ronald Reagan did to liberal — explaining that it’s a damaged brand.

His love of the Founding Fathers inspires others to learn and respect our nation’s history. Best of all, Glenn delights in driving the self-proclaimed powers-that-be crazy. (The whole country awaits the red phone ringing!) Even his critics (whom he annihilates in ratings) have to admire his amazing ability to galvanize everyday Americans to better themselves and peacefully engage their government. Though he sometimes dismisses himself as an aw-shucks guy or just a “rodeo clown,” he’s really an inspiring patriot who was once at the bottom but now makes a much needed difference from the very, very top.

Patriot Of The Day: Lieutenant Colonel Allen West

Lieutenant Colonel Allen West earns our distinguished “Patriot Of The Day” award for this speech he gave last year. For those who don’t know, he is a decorated war hero who’s served with distinction in combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is also running for Congress in 2010 in Florida’s Congressional District 22.

Allen’s personal story is a testament to the commonsense conservative belief that our nation’s greatness is rooted in freedom, because with freedom comes equal opportunity, and that, coupled with hard work, leads to success.

Staff Sgt Barry Sadler – The Ballad Of The Green Berets

“The Ballad of the Green Berets” is a patriotic song in the ballad style about the United States … The song was written by then Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler, beginning when he was training to be a Special Forces medic.

The timing of Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler’s number-one smash “The Ballad of the Green Berets” couldn’t have been more impeccable.

Released in early 1966, when anti-war sentiment was beginning to swell, “The Ballad of the Green Berets” tapped into an enormous wellspring of patriotic fervor among Americans who were tired of the dissent and ambiguity surrounding Vietnam, and desperately wanted confirmation of America’s heroism and moral virtue; that they were on the right side.

Sadler was the perfect man to supply it: he was himself a member of the Green Berets, the Army’s elite Special Forces unit, and a wounded Vietnam veteran who wanted to pay tribute to his comrades in arms.

Although “The Ballad of the Green Berets” was the biggest hit single of 1966, Sadler never duplicated its blockbuster success, and soon retired from music to become a successful author.
