You either learn from history or your doomed to repeat it.

Re: Decemaber 7
Guys,
Thanks for beating me to the punch here....
Pearl Harbor Day. December 7th. "A day that will live in infamy..." ~ FDR.
Yep. We honor all who died, were wounded, who served, went to war in WW II to free millions from Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japanese domination...
Interestingly enough, my Dad was born on December 7th...back in 1933. Today he's 83. He's battling Leukemia and some other "issues", but I just called him, we talked. Great to hear his voice again.
He said growing up as a kid in WW II he remembers all day & night local trainer aircraft flying from all the overnight built airfields around his family farm in central/bay area Kalifornia and them all buying war bonds and doing recycling drives to get toothpaste tubes for lead for bullets and finding old tires for gas masks and old piping for copper bullets...
He remembers the rationing coupons that allowed a family to get 1 set of tires per car a year, 1 pair of new shoes per kid a year, limited gasoline and ice and everything else under the sun...
Hell. Today, we just deficit spend, make up the 100s of billions out of thin air. NOBODY suffers, goes without, helps the "war" effort......except for the less than 1% of the population today who actually have a Mom, Dad, son or daughter in the U.S. military... "War" means little to most, and everything to the very few...
GOD, plz bless all our warriors, their friends & families..........our military, past, present & future.

AHMEN to that Randy!! And , YEP , the "everything right now" generation seems to me like they just don't want to work for anything and expects it given to them! o and slick willy didn't help anything by promising all the free stuff for their votes..............I think they are still expecting their "free stuff"............Until our socalled "representatives" get up off their collective ..............ideas and start doing what's good for our Country and Her people we will never get out of the hole they dug for us. This includes ALL of the partys!!

Russ,
Yep... The Liberals have raised an "entitlement" following that predominantly votes Democrat and holds up Socialist/Marxist/Communist ideals over our Founding Father's ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness..........rooted in individual liberty, self determination, reward for hard work...
Libs today push Big Government, central planning, government control of the economy and control of business/production.....thru over regulation, ever more labor laws, EPA rules, wage laws, on and on... All Socialist in nature.
However, just look no further than the now failed state of Venezuela to see where collectivism leads... Once the most prosperous country in Latin America, Hugo Chavez destroyed them.....in a few short years. He nationalized the farms, businesses, instituted centralized planning, taxed businesses to death and put the country on welfare and subsidies... All another failed attempt of "heaven on earth" for the idiot masses and him and his military & cronies at the top.
Today, Venezuela is a failed state with mass riots, hyperinflation, no economy, no jobs, no money....people are starving and back to living in the mid-1800s. Hell, women today are going across the border to neighboring Columbia to sell their hair for $20 U.S. cash for food and men are now breaking into zoos to butcher animals for food to eat!!! Way to go Socialists/Marxists/Communists...
But, here today, we have the same idiot masses.........millennials and welfare bums and losers of every stripe all begging for a Bernie Sanders Communist to get into high office to deliver ever more freebies and stuff..........at the expense of their dignity, their economic and personal freedom, their very lives...
Sad, sad, sad. The Commies have controlled the education system for decades now, especially the colleges & universities and have now successfully brainwashed all to many heads of mush. Always selling idealism over realism...
I hope Trump really turns things around. But, the Commies out there among us are gone......brainwashed forever. They'll just need to die off. Vladimir Lenin was right in saying:
"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted." ~ Vladimir Lenin
Hell, today we make 12 grades mandatory AND we pay out of pocket to have our "kids" spend 4 more years in college just to seal the deal permanently...
It's simply gonna take the next BIG economic crash..........like the Great Depression all over..........to "reset" things, I fear.
Gold & silver, guns & ammo, baby!
