Happy Veterans Day from Ed Rusher
By: nickev | November 11th, 2009 | Category: Politics As Usual - VideosI love this country and I love Ed Rusher loving this country. However, Mr. Rusher is not too fond of our sarcastic love of his work. He emailed us back in February cussing us out for ridiculing his song. Read his cussage outage by clicking here.
Fact is, I don’t think most of us even realize how lucky we are that we live in this great Country. We as Americans are truly blessed and should thank people, like Mr. Rusher, for giving us the freedoms that we cherish so much.
Still your singing…not that good.
Happy Veterans Day!
Dear Mr. Rusher,
By: Carl H | February 6th, 2009 | Category: Politics As Usual - VideosQuick background: We previously posted Mr. Rusher’s video here and may have said some stuff like, “does he really think this is a good song?” Anyways, he recently had this to say in rebuttal:
To get to the point- It is a good song that was inspired after I went to Camp Lejuene and performed for the “Wounded Warriors.” For those of us that have actually fought for our country we know the true sacrifice made for liberty. I spent 9 years in my beloved Corps. This Marine knows the impact that the mainstream liberal media can have on the morale of troops in the field. The mainstream media “hamstringed” both wars almost from the start.
The lyrics of this song are the words of real warriors that I met and spent time with. I know to a liberal civilian American who has never served, it doesn’t taste good in your palet to hear what the real warriors of this country think of your vaunted mainstream media. For those who have fought for it freedom has a taste, the protected can never know.
Best Regards,
Ed Rusher

Dear Mr. Rusher,
To get to the point- No it is not. First let me say that we appreciate your service to this Country and you can and will never be thanked enough for the time, sweat and blood you have sacrificed for your fellow Americans. Maybe I know this because I myself spent time in the Corps, or maybe I know this simply because I have family and friends that are spending their time right now in a branch of Our Armed Forces.
My point is you don’t have any idea what my background, my political views, or my opinions on the wars are, so for you to insinuate that I haven’t fought for my country, or that I am upset to hear what the real warriors of this country think of the very freedom they are fighting for, is nothing short of asinine. Besides, we have ten writers on staff here at the Pinkie, and many more who contribute in some way. We are not politically affiliated with anyone or any party.
I am not doubting the lyrics of this song are real, or saying they are not inspired in anyway. See, one of the great things about this freedom you speak so highly of, is that it gives EVERYONE a right to have an OPINION. And that is all this is, an OPINION. I am certain there is someone out there who enjoys your song. Hell there may even be someone right here on the Pinkie staff who enjoys it; but in no way, shape or form does not liking your song have anything to do with your personal attacks on who you ‘perceive’ to be liberal civilian Americans who have never served.
Again, we infinitely appreciate your service and time you gave to this Country and for the freedom that allows us to post our THOUGHTS and OPINIONS, and we wish you nothing but the best in all you do. If it is your goal to write songs and sing em, by all means we hope you are successful to the fullest.
May God Bless You in all you do,
And May God Bless America.

I know we posted this before but this inauguration stuff gets me all warm and fuzzy for My Country Tis of Thee. So I had to post Ed Rusher’s, “Aren’t We All Americans”. Does this man really think this is a good song?
Happy Veterans Day! I Love America!
By: nickev | November 11th, 2008 | Category: UncategorizedVeterans Day was first known as Armistice Day and was proclaimed on November 12, 1919 by President Woodrow Wilson. Twelve years later, on May 13, 1938, Congress made the 11th of November a legal holiday, which was to be a day dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day.
Fifteen years after being officially regarded as a legal holiday, Al King, a shoe store owner from Emporia, Kansas had an idea to expand Armistice Day to recognize all veterans, not just those who served in World War I. The Emporia Chamber of Commerce followed suit and closed their businesses to honor veterans. A bill was then pushed through Congress and President Dwight Eisenhower signed Armistice Day into law on May 26, 1954. On November 8, 1954 Congress officially changed it to Veterans Day, which has been the name ever since.
So today we recognize our veterans, those who have given their all to protect the greatest country on earth. Ladies and gentleman I bring to you Mr. Ed Rusher who will sing us a song that could become our new anthem, “Aren’t We All Americans”. There is no way that Mr. Rusher honestly believes this is good but I love this country!
