I AM PROUD TO GIVE MY ENDORSEMENT TO GOVERNOR HALEY BARBOUR. Mississippi needs to keep this man of vision and family values. ---In Liberty I remain, Angelo Cobrasci, Owner / Publisher “THE MID-SOUTH PATRIOT NEWSPAPER” Please re-Elect Haley Barbour Governor of the Great State of Mississippi -------------------------------------------- RESPECT FOR THE FLAG Title 36, Chapter 10 pertains to patriotic customs and observances. These Laws were supplemented by Executive Orders and Presidential Proclamations. #176. RESPECT FOR THE FLAG. No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor. (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. (b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water or merchandise. (c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. (d) The flag should never be used as a wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general. (e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used or stored in such a manner as to be easily torn, soiled or damaged in any way. (f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling. (g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. (h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. (i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles such as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown. (j) No part of the flag should ever be used asa costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of Patriotic Organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being in replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart. (k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. ---------------------------------- WHAT IS PATRIOTISM? “Love for and devotion to one’s country” Many things have been said and written on the subject of Patriotism, some of them concerning the exploitation or abuse of patriotic feeling. Perhaps the most famous if misunderstood quotation on the subject was a throwaway remark by Dr. Samuel Johnson, the 18th century English wit, and lexicographer. It was he who said that “patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” That is something that can certainly be true, though the good doctor was likely referring to the Patriotic Party in the British Parliament of the time. He himself wrote an approving essay entitled “The Patriot,” and defined “patriot” approvingly in his Great Dictionary of 1755 as “one whose ruling passion is love of his country.” Below are a few quotatations about America & Patirotism from a variety of persons who tend to see patriotic feeling as something more than a mere ancestor worship or tribal identity. Some of them are famous, others are today obscure. But their words speak to what it is to be an American patriot today. MARK TWAIN - “ Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn’t. You cannot shirk this and be a man.” THEODORE ROOSEVELT - “From the very beginning our people have markedly combined practical for affairs with power of devotion to an ideal. The lack of either quality would have rendered the other of small value.” Adlai Stevenson - Patriotism... is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. Elmer Davis - This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. Hamilton Fish - If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve that it is truly worth living for in time of peace. ~Lee Greenwood - And I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. Thomas Jefferson - The cement of this union is the heart-blood of every American. Woodrow Wilson - Some Americans need hyphens in their names, because only part of them has come over; but when the whole man has come over, heart and thought and all, the hyphen drops of its own weight out of his name. Samuel Adams - “The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.” Benjamin Franklin,- “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!” Benjamin Franklin - “They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety.” Now given this list above do you concider yourself a True Patriot, one who is an American first and foremost without allegiance to any other country but this one? Do you believe that the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land and any law made that is not inline with the Constitution is null and void? Are you willing to stand up against those who try to destroy our Liberties? -------------------------------------- HELP WANTED The Mid-South Patriot is looking for Advertising Sales Reps.

MilitaryForPaul.com is a group of military service men & women and veterans that support the candidacy of Ron Paul for President. It is our goal to advocate for Ron Paul both within and outside of the military community. We believe Ron Paul is the only candidate running for President that is transparent and honest to the U.S. military. We believe he’s the only candidate with the right combination of experience and principle for the job. As members of the United States Military, we swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States and we believe Ron Paul is the only candidate that follows the Constitution and fights for both economic and personal freedom. U.S. Military Members That Support Ron Paul For President Dale Ritchey - (Army Veteran)Comments: I served with C 1/39th FA Airborne during the Persian Gulf War.I’m proud to stand with Ron Paul, a true American patriot. David Barry - (Army Veteran)Comments: During my tour in Afghanistan, I became disillusioned at the fact that while I was trying to fight for freedom abroad, the US was loosing freedoms faster than I could keep track. Ron Paul renewed my hope, and the hope of many soldiers with me. Patrick Bushman - (Active Army)Comments: I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, forign and domestic; that I would bear true faith and allegiance to the same. In order to do this in good conscience, I must support the only true Constitutionalist in this race. I spent a year in Iraq; I’m no coward and I love my country. That is why I want to see this great man, Ron Paul, return our country to one we can be proud of again. John Anderson - (Marines Veteran)Comments: Ron Paul is the only option the United States has if it is to remain a free country. Brandon Lloyd - (Army NationalGuard) Comments: Either we vote The Honorable Dr. Paul into the White House in ’08 or we’ll continue to see this once great nation slip away. Josh McNattin - (Marines Veteran)Comments: Only Ron Paul keeps the best interests of the troops and the common citizen in mind with his foreign policy. To fight for honor means fighting for the right reasons, not simply to try and justify a conflict fought ignobly until you’re the last man standing. There is no honor in that. Mike Toles - (Army Veteran)Comments: 4th Infantry Division. I support Ron Paul for President, a true American hero and patriot. Mike Bender - (Air Force Retired)Comments: Ron Paul is the only candidate who honors his oath to the Constitution as we do. This retired MSgt supports Ron Paul for president in 2008! Bryan Gray - (Navy Veteran)Comments: I believe so strongly in a Constitutional government I have contributed $2300 to Ron Paul’s campaign. This donation isn’t a gift it is my investment in freedom. Ryan Murphy - (Army Veteran)Comments: This is one proud former NCO infantyman that is delighted to vote for Cong. Paul. It is way past time to have someone overseeing the Armed Forces who actually values the lives of service personel instead of viewing them as so many toy soldiers to be scattered across hell’s half acre. Jason - (Active Air Force)Comments: We swore an oath to protect the constitution, there’s no better man for the job! Brian - (Army Veteran)Comments: I support Ron Paul, because he speaks the truth. His service record in the military and in Congress speak for themselves. Benjamin - (Navy Reserve)Comments: We need to take our oath to defend and uphold the constitution seriously...vote RON PAUL! Aaron Williams - (Active Army)Comments: With the current regime of politicians in power stripping us of our constitutional freedoms and liberties, fighting terrorism around the globe is a moot point. In effect who needs terrorists when those who hate freedom are elected here at home. I’ve been following Ron Paul before my first tour in Iraq during OIF II. I’m now serving my second tour of duty in Iraq, and Ron Paul is running for president. The Constitution and this troop is counting on him to restore the foundation of America which has been chipped away for the better part of a century by the political status quo. Caroline - (Navy Veteran)Comments: Navy.Radioman. (Husband: Navy Vietnam Combat Vet; Mother of Navy Iraq Vet). Never in the history of our country has an election been so crucial. Our fallen did not die to bring us, the nation and the people, to ruin. We must spread the word about Ron Paul that this is not about party politics! We must come against those who are protecting their own interests, while actively helping to destroy the lives and livelihoods of our citizens. What good is their “nest egg” when the roots of the tree it sits in, are dying? It will be a fight. Active Duty/Veterans unite! Alex Hickey - (Active Army)Comments: I just returned from my second yearlong deployment to Iraq. It is time to leave Iraq now...THANK GOD for Ron Paul and his dedication to true Republican ideals of non-interventionism, the rule of law and the Constitution. WE WANT OUR NATION BACK! Christopher Sullivan - (ActiveMarines) Comments: Ron Paul stands for the true freedom that I signed up to defend. He is the only candidate on either side who even mentions the Constitution, which I took an oath to support and defend, and how we need to get back to it. Those who believe in true liberty will surely find themselves aligned with Ron Paul. Mark Farris - (Active Army)Comments: Ron Paul is the only candidate that supports my oath to defend the Constitution. David Gillie - (Navy Reserve)Comments: As the first American citizen in my family, I attach a lot of importance to my service to the Constitution of the United States. In 18 years’ service I have never betrayed my oath. Congressman Paul’s fidelity to his oath is, sadly, remarkable in a Washington drowned in cynical corruption. I look forward with great satisfaction to giving him my vote for President of the United States. LCDR David R. Gillie, USN Christine - (Navy Veteran)Comments: I believe Ron Paul will work to return this country to a Constitutional Republic that we can be proud of once more. This is our last chance to save America. Neal Ross - (Air Force Veteran)Comments: I am a 13 yr. veteran of the U.S. Air Force and I fully endorse Ron Paul for President as he is the only candidate who appears to have even the slightest understanding and willingness to govern according to the principles upon which our nation was founded, and so many of our brave veterans fought and died to protect. Judy Collins - (Air Force Veteran)Comments: I served in the USAF Nurse Corp and served in the Philippines during the Vietnam war era. Ron Paul is the only candidate worthy of my vote from either Democrats or Republicans. He is a patriot and super statesman who will restore our precious rights and the state of the republic.
