Yesterday, we honored our Veterans with a Memorial Day holiday. It served as a reminder of all Americans that we owe a special gratitude toward our Veterans. In lieu, the American people through the Federal Government provide many beneifts. Clearly one of the best programs available to those who were honorably discharged from the US military is the VA’s mortgage loan program. It really does stand out as one of the few government mortgage programs that not only works well, but is a great deal for those who are eligible. Generally, a VA home mortgage loan requires no down payment and carries a low 30-year fixed rate. That rate today is a bit over 4.5 percent.

Long duty days far away from home can be tough. A chance to speak with or see a loved one often can offer relief from the stresses of deployment. Ask almost any soldier, sailor, airman or Marine deployed overseas, and they will tell you that family and friends are always on their mind.

Obama, like all politicians, only tells us what he thinks we want to hear. After he uses us for our vote he then does what the real powers that be want done. His two recent speeches regarding Israel and the BILLIONS of U.S. tax dollars the politicians take from us to give away to the Jewish state make this very obvious to anyone who bothers to think.

In this article, I demonstrate how the media has used mass coverage of certain events as a way to advance America’s waning support for the so-called “War on Terror.” As examples, I look at the role of Reverend Terry Jones, the Mosque near Ground Zero, claims that Obama is a Muslim, and Wikileaks.
