Well, Saturday is as good a day as any…
The State of Israel is celebrating the Sixtieth Anniversary of its founding. That’s Diamond for those of you keeping track. Israel is a country which is unique in that it has fought for its existence from Day One (May 14,1948)..and hasn’t stopped either. And true peace-loving people from around the world see this as exactly that and support Israel and her People with all their heart. As do I.
One day I’d like to travel to Israel. I don’t know when that will be, but I have a friend there who will welcome me with open arms. So, to the Israeli People...Congratulations, Happy Birthday, and Shalom!

...it’s Cinco de Mayo. It’s when Mexico beat France at the Battle of Puebla way back in 1862. Watch for many vehicles to wave Mexico’s Flag today! Some employers are encouraging their workers to wear Mexican colors today, so they can get free non-alcoholic Margaritas. Whoop de freakin’ do.
But the French got beat, so at least that’s a plus for the Mexicans.

Time for the annual bulls**t marches by Communists, Socialists, Anarchists, and other various and sundry International Labor and ‘Immigrant’ groups all over the planet. After all, it’s International Labor Day.
That said, here’s a shout-out to all good and right-thinking Americans in Tucson. The abovementioned bastards are holding a march in your city. Go and oppose them! Dammit, I wish gas wasn’t $3.40/gallon, I’d be down there in a heartbeat!
Then again, I gotta work, and that’s a foreign word to those el cubo marchers.

One thing I noticed right away when I visited the Trinity Site last year, even as I approached Ground Zero, that vegetation still grows there. Yes, God Heals The Land, even after over sixty years.
And He Also Heals The Sea...nearly a half-century after we stopped testing at Bikini Atoll, scientists are finding the areas devastated by numerous nuclear test craters are teeming with oceanic life again. And they are amazed. If God had not wanted Life to return there, He would have left it barren. This is His way of letting us know that He is still in control.

Why is it that every time I read something about D.B. Cooper, I think of that cheer and Dueling Banjos? I have no idea. Anyhow, his name is back in the news because some kids found a parachute sticking up from the ground, not too far from Portland.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Feds actually link said parachute to the 1971 hijack. And the conspiracy theorists abound there too.

I am thankful to God that I live in a Free Country, and I have found a new place to live, and also friends who care, and a family back East who loves me. May each of you also enjoy and remember those freedoms on this Thanksgiving Day.

THEY FIGHT FOR US!

Also on this date, at the same time, Commenwealth countries all over the world, especially in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, commemorate their war dead and veterans with Remembrance Day. Their symbol is the poppy, as depicted in the poem In Flanders Fields by Canadian physician John McCrae:

The Continental Marines were formed by the Continental Congress on this date in 1775, and their traditions and history carry through to today as the United States Marine Corps.
From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli...Semper Fidelis. Happy Birthday Marines!

Brigadier General Paul W. Tibbets, USAF (Retired), was a man who lived with no regrets at all about his mission. He died today with no regrets either, at 92 years of age.
He stuck around long enough to see what happened on 9/11. And what was his reaction? Yep, you guessed it:

Let’s put it this way. I don’t know any more about these terrorists than you do, I know nothing. When they bombed the Trade Centre I couldn’t believe what was going on. We’ve fought many enemies at different times. But we knew who they were and where they were. These people, we don’t know who they are or where they are. That’s the point that bothers me. Because they’re gonna strike again, I’ll put money on it. And it’s going to be damned dramatic. But they’re gonna do it in their own sweet time. We’ve got to get into a position where we can kill the bastards. None of this business of taking them to court, the hell with that. I wouldn’t waste five seconds on them.

Like I said...no regrets at all. May General Tibbets Rest In Peace.

Over the past week, there’s been a big brouhaha between various pro-USA blogs regarding criticism of an appearance of an alliance between anti-Islamofascist forces in Europe and neo-Nazi organizations also professing the same oppositions. Let’s take a look at the origin of the word “Nazi.”.
The MSM tends to paint neo-Nazi groups as “right wing.” Nothing can be further from the truth, because the word actually originates from the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers Party). Like Communists and other totalitarian governments, the Nazis controlled all aspects of the society; the Nuremberg Laws come to mind, which specifically persecuted Jews. And of course they went after gays (more so) and lesbians (less so), Gypsies, the handicapped, etc., in order to form their “perfect society.”
Don’t believe for a second that these nationalist European groups with any ties to the Nazis, past or present, won’t reveal their true colors once the Islamofascist threat is taken care of. That’s why no right-thinking group who wants to stop the Islamization of Europe (and the rest of the world) should ally themselves with such organizations.

There are three types of people in the world: Trey Parker and Matt Stone describe them here (WARNING! NOT SAFE FOR WORK!). But I think there’s a more straightforward way of describing those three types of people:

“Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident.
“...Then there are the wolves, and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy.
“...Then there are sheepdogs, and I’m a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf.”

Just like Sam does to Ralph. Go Ye and read the rest. The Macker Commands It!

...which all leftists and especially the Ronulans have done, here’s the headline:

Imagine those people leaping to their deaths instead of same by immolation. Imagine those brave NYPD and FDNY men and women, and the other medical workers who volunteered to help after we were struck, and many of those died as well.
Let their deaths NEVER be in vain. NEVER FORGET. Be assured, Osama, all current living members of al Qaeda and any/all franchises worldwide, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that one day, WE WILL COME FOR YOU.

WOW! I didn’t remember that I got this just for working on the Bush Campaign back in 2000. It is a relic of a different time, a different attitude, a different optimism...before 9/11. We just got done with eight years of Bill Clinton and Al Gore, and the world endured a 35-day wait to see who actually won the election.
There is no need to reiterate what the Democrats spew forth about that election, nor those who are even more to the left than the Donks. I just wanted to share with you all what I got as a reward. Click on the thumbnail.
