Please take time to honor "Old Glory," TODAY

Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Today is Flag Day! Please take time to honor "Old Glory," as the most beautiful, as well as intricate, flag in the world.
The flag of the United States is a symbol of America's heart, just as America herself is meant to be the heart of a great people.
1777 Continental Congress assigning a nation ensign
"Resolved: that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
First known Flag Day celebrated Fredonia, Wisconsin, June 14, 1885, then in New York City June 14, 1889, and Philadelphia June 14, 1893
Aug 3 1949 Harry Truman declared June 14th as flag day. Today is the 62nd observance of Flag Day nationally.
There 64 parts to the American flag with significance to every part.

George Washington is reported to have said that "We take the stars from Heaven, the red from out mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing liberty." He also said, "Let the 13 stars in a circle stand as a new constellation in the heavens."

The Great Seal of our nation also bears reverence to our flag: "The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes on the shield of the eagle) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; WHITE signifies purity and innocence,
RED, hardiness & valour, and BLUE, the color of the Chief (the blue band at the top of the shield) signifies vigilance, perseverance & Justice."

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Flag Day, a day to celebrate the birthday of our nation and ask GOD's blessings

June 14, 2011 - 03:06 PM

by Mike Huckabee

Today is Flag Day, a day to celebrate the birthday of our nation and to ask God's blessings on the land we all love.

When I think of the symbols that unite and inspire us as a people I immediately think of our flag. We are a melting pot of people from various walks of life, nations around the world, but we came to these shores to seek freedom and with it a better life. Our forefathers established a republic that would be open to people of all faiths, all colors, all ethnicities, and all political persuasions.

They recognized that we needed a symbol that would forever unite us and define us as a nation. In 1777 they chose the American Flag.

Our flag carries American ideas, American history and American visions. It has been the rallying cry for generations of Americans.

What does the flag mean to you? To me it means freedom. Please share your thoughts below.

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of GOD in CHRIST JESUS concerning you. The One who calls you is faithful and He will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, 24

Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him and He will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Psalm 37: 3-7
If the LORD delights in a man's way, He makes His steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:23-24

Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet, and a Light unto my path. —Psalm 119: 105

Hebrews 10:23-25 says, "Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we have, for GOD can be trusted to keep His promise. Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of His coming back again is drawing near."
Hbr 10:35-36 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of GOD, you will receive what He has promised.

Romans 5:5 And hope does not disappoint us, because GOD has poured out His love into our hearts by the HOLY SPIRIT, whom He has given us.
Romans 15:13 Now may the GOD of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Alaska Freedom cruise sets sail today from Seattle!

Tim Tebow—a Christian Superstar—Champion of Faith

Really enjoyed the interview Governor Huckabee had with Tim Tebow on the Huckabee Show today. Tim is a remarkable young man, that the LORD is using in a mighty way to millions.

He said, "My faith is the driving force of my life; even above and beyond football!" Great testimony! Governor Huckabee said a very similar statement back in 2007 (without the part about football)! Guess great minds really do think alike! :)

Here is more of Tim Tebow's testimony:

"I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds my future!"

When asked how do you share you faith? Tim: "It wasn't something I was preaching or I was sharing, because it really wasn't. It was something I was just living. Plain and simple. It's not about what comes out of your mouth. It's not about what you say. It's about how you act and that's the greatest way to share your faith and to say what you're about, is by everyday how you go about your business and how you treat people."

Tim likes to put bible references in the eye black strips on his face when he plays football as the Denver Broncos Star Quarterback. He had Philippians 4:13 for a whole season, then for the SCC Championship game he felt he should change it to a different verse. He put John 3:16 on his face and went out and played the game. The Coach told him afterwards that during the game, people had googled John 3:16 94 million times! That was an all time record for google searches! Laus DEO! Tim has written a book called "Through My Eyes"I can't wait to read it!

You can like his page with the scriptures he uses and see some pictures here:

By the way: I agree with the two Democrats on the Huckabee show interview right before Tim! The best candidate who could run for president in 2012, IS the top rated cable FOX News TV Talk show host who recently made the decision not to run!

Stand with Indiana as they fight to protect life:

We will stand with Indiana as they fight for the sanctity of life. Will you join us? Read my full blog here:

June 03, 2011 - 03:31 PM

by Mike Huckabee

Indiana recently adopted a state law that prohibits state agencies from entering contracts with or making grants to “any entity that performs abortions or maintains or operates a facility where abortions are performed.” It also terminates existing state contracts with such entities.

Huck PAC has been an active leader in the Pro-Life movement, and we will stand with Indiana through any attacks against their attempt to prevent federal monies from being used to fund abortions.

This is fundamental to our core principal regarding the sanctity of life: "It’s morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to subsidize the largest abortion provider in America," said Representative Mike Pence, a 2010 Huck PAC endorsed candidate.

Although disappointing, I'm sure that none of us are surprised to learn that the Obama Administration argues that this new Indiana law breaches federal rules. The Administration has 90 days to decide whether to approve the law, but Administration officials have made it clear they will not approve the changes.

Indiana has already begun enforcing this law, which was passed on May 10. This new law also contains several pro-life provisions that directly affect abortion. So far, the court battle is over the lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood against the state. A federal judge refused to grant Planned Parenthood's request of an injunction, which is evidently what got the Obama Administration involved so quickly.

Huck PAC and I will stand with Indiana as they fight for the sanctity of life. I hope you’ll join me.

"The Greater Communicator"

"The Greater Communicator"

A review by Amy Walker

Reagan was said to be "the Great Communicator," well here is another that is his equal, if not greater!! The LORD has given Governor Mike Huckabee the amazing CHRIST-like ability to talk to and interact with people in such a way as to lift them up, without compromising his own core values, regardless of whether the others agreed or were diametrically opposed and disagreed with him, on any number of issues.
When a man's ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
—Proverbs 16:7

Mike doesn't flatter people for points or tear down people because they are of a particular political party, religion or ethic group. It is this phenomenal gift of showing others their intrinsic worth and value that enables Mike to connect with others of all stripes, demographics, and stature and actually open dialogue and start a process where, after all is said an done, he hadn't compromised, and yet the others were actually considering his viewpoints!

I have watched and listened to hundreds of hours of speeches, interviews and talks of Governor Huckabee on a very large variety of topics. One of the most enjoyable aspects of listening to him is his irrepressible humor no matter the subject or seriousness of it. However, I have rarely seen him have a more serious discussion without once giving a hint of a smile or amusing antidote. The wisdom, common sense and sagacious (keen mental discernment) ability that GOD has imparted to Mike Huckabee is truly astounding and of a value beyond worth. No wonder he served 3 and 1/2 years as Lt. Governor, then was elected twice and served almost 11 eleven as a Republican governor of an overwhelmingly Democratic state! It is an absolute honor and privilege to know, listen and learn from such a Godly disciple of JESUS CHRIST!

After speaking to the Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock, Arkansas, on June 1, 2011 Governor Huckabee took and responded to unscripted questions. To the question of how to tell the American people how to solve some of the most pressing issues such as the deficit, unfunded liabilities and others as a candidate for office, Governor Huckabee responded: "I'm not sure the political election process is the environment in which it can be told. Our election environment has become incredibly toxic to the point that I am not sure the country is presently governable. I know that is a very bold statement. But I am telling you now, it is becoming to where it is impossible to actually govern. Not just because of the other side is going to take you on because of everything that you say and parse every word and bring nuances to everything thing that is said because your own party will do that. One of the processes that I was going through in deciding whether or not to run in this election cycle was whether or not the environment in the Republican Party was really about moving the country toward where we had pragmatic solutions to governing the country or whether it was about can we poke out the eyes of the other guy before they poke out our eyes. And I will be honest with you. Right now, I'm convinced that it is all about poking out each others eyes. It's not about solving real problems, and until we change that—when I say we—we as a culture—as a country, have to
utterly reject that one party is always right and the other party is always wrong. That's nonsense.

Taking you back to my own tenure are a governor: I inherited a legislature had 89 Democrats and 11 Republicans. We had 39 Democrats in the Senate and we had 4 Republicans in the Senate. The other was the House of course. You know, I didn't major in math in college but I was pretty well capable of figuring out what 50 percent means and I knew if I went out there and said, "we're going to have a Republican agenda here," we wouldn't pass anything. And it became very obvious that if something like an ARKIDS FIRST would pass and if we were going to get a road program to change that hideous piece of highway between here and Memphis, or the one between here and Texarcana or the one between here and Fayetteville, or any of the other roads, it meant we were going to have to have Democrats and Republicans who saw a common problem and were willing to get to a common solution. It worked because we had Democrats—as much as we had a Republican governor—we had responsible Democratic members of the legislature who said, "yeah, those are real problems and we will work with you to fix them." If they had just bowed up and said, "as long as you're here, we won't pass a doggone thing!," none of that could have happened. And when it did happen, [working together] it was incumbent upon me, to me, to give them the respect that they were due. And to go to their civic clubs, and their home towns, and to praise them as examples of bipartisan public spirited good servants. That made people in my own party mad, because they thought that I should never have given, in essence, that much accolade to people of the other side. There's still people mad at me for that.

My job, once I was elected was not to tell people how bad Democrats were; it was to try to find solutions to real problems. Now, Washington isn't of that mindset right now. It is of the mindset that our side is always right and their side is always wrong. I find that disgusting, deplorable, and absolutely inaccurate. You know, I have said many times, Republicans are not right all the time and Democrats are not wrong all the time... They're wrong most of the time, but not" [OK, his humor couldn't be repressed any longer, huge laughter erupts, !] "What did you expect huh?!! All kidding aside, Ronald Reagan... I'm not sure he could get nominated today, much less, elected because Ronald Reagan understood that governing and the art of governing, is an art, not a science, and in order to do it, you have to work with in the context of political atmosphere you have, not the one you wish you had. So did he make deals? YES! Did he compromise? YES! He even raised taxes, both as a governor and as a president. Because he understood that in order to get some big things that were important to him, he had to give up some little things that weren't as important to him. And we think he was a great president.

Bill Clinton. for whom this center is named, probably didn't have on his agenda, welfare reform, when he ran in 1992, but he worked with Republicans to make it happen and it turned out to be one of the most successful ventures of his presidency. And it resulted in people going to work, not being on welfare. He left this country with a surplus. There were many things with which he could have bowed up and said, "nope, I will not work with the Republican majority in the House." but, again, he had been a long term governor. He understood that you can't work like that. To the country's benefit, he didn't. And I think what ever the country thinks of Bill Clinton, you have to give him credit for, to me, was the vision to govern with what he had, not what he wished he had. I'm sure he would have rather had 435 Democrats in the House and 100 Democrat Senators but he didn't have it. He worked with what he had. That's how it has to be."

Here is the whole speech and question if you want to be really blessed!
