TRUE COLORS

“Well, it’s Tommy this and Tommy that

and chuck ‘im out, the brute.

But it’s Tommy come and save us

when the guns begin to shoot.”

 

Looking down on soldiers is nothing new. The left were not even the sole originators of the attitude. But WW1 and especially WW2 gave most Americans a well deserved respect for the military. By the time of the Viet Nam war, however, the left had begun a process of rewriting the narrative of American History. In that narrative the military is the terrorist arm of the US government. The vile treatment of the military during the Viet Nam war was strictly a tactic of the left. Those of us on the right should feel a certain degree of shame because most of us did not stand up to support the military. I include myself in that shame.

 

Since the end of the Viet Nam war most Americans, probably as a result of the residual feeling of respect by the remaining WW2 generation, have had an increasing recognition of the value of the military. The left has found itself in an uncomfortable corner. Continued vilification of the military could cost the left votes from a public increasingly respectful of the military. So the left has submerged its hatred of the military and pretended to have the same respect as the general public. But, like the scorpion on the back of the fox in the middle of the river, they just can’t help being themselves.

 

Hillary’s hatred of the military is well documented, but not generally known thanks to the cover given her by the lamestream media. And recently, the left’s true feelings have been showing their ugly disdain for the military in the occasional illustrative news story. Fox News just posted the story of a California high school teacher named Salcido bashing U.S. military men and women. He characterized recruiters as “pimps” and our soldiers as the “lowest of the low.” And worse than that. Additionally, the left has been using the same sort of characterizations in their rants against the police recently.. The left just can’t hold back . Their true feelings must eventually come out. BTW, make no mistake – Antifa (so-called ‘Antifasciats) are, in fact, the fascists and fascists are leftists. As is BLM.

ONE MAN’S DREAM

Martin Luther King Junior was born on this day in 1929. He would be only 88 if he were still alive. For some reason it seems like he would be much older. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the man whose leadership of the civil rights movement had a major impact on life in the United States and whose death had repercussions that are still with us today had a ‘dream’ that ended for him personally a full 48 years ago.

What has happened to his ‘dream’ in those 48 years seems to me tragic. One of the sentences which is often quoted from his “I have a Dream” speech is, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” It is a good sentence to quote because it truly characterizes the whole speech. But if you read the whole speech you will see that most of those who have assumed the mantel of the civil rights movement have betrayed King’s ‘Dream.’ Do not believe me. King’s speech is available on any number of websites in its entirety. Take a few minutes to read it. And, as you read it, ask yourself how today’s leaders of the civil rights movement measure up to the standards set forth in King’s speech. Then ask yourself how you measure up.

 

In the category of things I can give you a guarantee about –

After many, many extra billions of dollars spent on ObamaCare, I can guarantee you that hospital beds are not one bit more comfortable than they were in 2008.

If I were the IT person in charge of the programming that activated the “WE”RE GONNA GET NUKED” button in Hawaii, I can double dog guarantee you that when somebody hit that button, a pop up dialogue box would ask “Are you really sure you want to send a ‘WE’RE GONNA GET NUKED’ message to everybody in Hawaii? If you’re really sure hit the button a second time.” The first thought that comes to mind on this news item is, “dumber than whale poop.”
