“In this circa 1925 photograph, the poem “In Flanders Fields” is shown in downtown South Bend, in the Christmas window display at Robertson Brothers Co., a department store that eventually became known as Robertson’s …” ““In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses row on row…” begins the poem “In Flanders Fields.” Written by a Canadian physician, Lt. Col. John McCrae, it was composed on May 3, 1915, after the funeral of his friend and fellow soldier, Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. It was later published in the London magazine Punch on Dec. 8, 1915, exactly 99 years ago.” South Bend Tribune. 

Now a hundred years, and humanity STILL has not learned.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Home schooling leads to “state-napping”

Monday, December 7, 2015

WND EXCLUSIVE
KIDS SEIZED OVER FAMILY’S ‘CHRISTIAN INDOCTRINATION’
Social media campaign to reunite parents, children surges worldwide
BOB UNRUH

*** begin quote ***

The conflict arises on the heels of a decision by the Supreme Court in neighboring Sweden not to allow parents Christer and Annie Johansson even to see their son, now 14.

He was “state-napped” from the family when he was 7 because he was being homeschooled.

Word of the court decision comes from the Home School Legal Defense Association, which has been working with other groups, including the Alliance Defending Freedom and lawyer Ruby Harrold-Claesson of the Nordic Committee on Human Rights on the case involving Domenic Johansson.

*** end quote ***

Just outrageous.

RANT: It’s a GAME! Not a war.

Texas-Baylor game interrupted by massive bench-clearing scuffle

# – # – # – # – # 

Disgraceful.

What are “we” or “they” teaching these young men? Certainly not how to be a competitor, a gentleman, or a warrior.

It’s a GAME! Not a war.

Join the Marines if you want to go to war. And, they won’t tolerate such a shocking lack of discipline. 

A competitor, a gentlemen, or a warrior must be disciplined if there’s to be any chance of success in a battle, a struggle, or a life.

Very disappointing.

Bread and circuses — that’s what football has become.

Sorry, time to downsize the whole thing in importance.

RANT: Why they haven’t struck more often and harder?

Security Theater: Customary Federal Pointlessness
By Fred Reed
December 4, 2015

*** begin quote ***

The future? Hard to say. As I write, President B. Hussein Obama is endeavoring to import tens of thousands of Moslems. It will be impossible to screen them, presumably making the importation a free ride into the US for terrorists if they so choose. It is not politically incorrect to note that the countless Moslem terrorists in recent years have been countless Moslem terrorists. It is, however, true. The greatest question about terrorists is not whether they can, but why they haven’t.

*** end quote ***

Stipulating that all this “security” is nothing more than “theater”, as originally identified by Bruce Schneier @schneier.com, this is an essential interesting question.

If it’s so easy, why haven’t the terrorists struck more and harder.

It’s not like there are not huge numbers of gun free zones.

Perhaps there are NOT as many terrorists as we have been led to believe?

Maybe the pool of potential “suicide bombers” isn’t so large?

Hmmm, it which case, “cut bono”? The Gooferment keeping us “safe”!

Argh!

Wake up, Sheeple. You’re being shorn again.

GUNS: Of course, San Bernardino was terrorism — international Paris style

Friday, December 4, 2015

“It’s terrorism,” he declared. “When you mass-murder, when you slaughter 15, 20 people, injure another dozen, it’s terrorism in my eye.

“Whether you want to call it domestic or international, it doesn’t make any difference.”

*** end quote ***

And this in the gun control state of California?

Argh!

And out of 200 people, not one was armed.

And no security.

How does that saying go: “If you want peace, prepare for war.”?

All we hear from BHO, Hillary, and Sanders is “gun control”. How did that work out for those victims?

RANT: What did Sandy Berger take?

Thursday, December 3, 2015

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/sandy-berger-national-security-adviser-216344

Sandy Berger, former national security adviser, dies
By Nick Gass12/02/15 09:44 AM EST Updated 12/02/15 11:04 AM EST

*** begin quote ***

Berger’s legacy was marred, however, when he pleaded guilty in 2005 to removing highly classified documents from the National Archives in Washington the previous year. The inspector general of the National Archives said that a staff member had witnessed the former NSA adviser wrapping the classified documents around his socks and under his pants.

He was fined $50,000, sentenced to two years’ probation and stripped of his security clearance for three years. Following a Justice Department investigation and subsequent congressional hearings, Berger voluntarily gave up his license to practice law in 2007.

*** end quote ***

What did Sandy Berger take?

And why?

Guess we’ll never have an answer to that question.

Had to be at the behest and benefit of the Clintons.

Another unanswered question.

RANT: Muslim taxi driver shot in the back

Wednesday, December 2, 2015

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/11/30/pa-passenger-rants-about-isis-before-shooting-muslim-taxi-driver-in-back/?postshare=1721448980276266&tid=ss_tw

Acts of Faith
Passenger rants about Islamic State before shooting Muslim taxi driver in back
By Peter Holley
November 30

*** begin quote ***

But by the time it was over, the Pittsburgh taxi driver — a 38-year-old Muslim man from Morocco — had a bullet wound in his upper back and was lucky to be alive, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Pittsburgh police are investigating the Thanksgiving Day shooting, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is asking for more help: CAIR, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, has called on the Justice Department to investigate the incident as a hate crime — which, it said, was “similar to a growing number of attacks targeting the nation’s Muslim community following the recent terror attacks in Paris.”

*** and ***

The cab driver told the Post-Gazette that he doesn’t want revenge, but he does want justice.

“In our religion, Islam, we forgive, even in such conditions,” he said. “I learned this from our prophet Muhammad. We don’t take revenge. I could forgive this, but I still want my rights.”

*** end quote ***

Absolutely unacceptable.

Probably a drunk from the casino trying to beat the guy for the fare.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Will this end Obama / SCOTUS care?

WND EXCLUSIVE
SUPREMES ASKED TO RULE ON ‘SHELL GAME’ TAXATION
Was ‘seedbed in which the people’s right not to be taxed without representation sprouted’
Published: 13 hours ago
BOB UNRUH

*** begin quote ***

“Obamacare raises taxes by hundreds of billions of dollars, but it was enacted in violation of the Origination Clause, which was designed to safeguard against arbitrary and reckless taxation. Obamacare was unveiled in the Senate, even though the Origination Clause requires taxes to start in the House, the body closest to the people,” he said.

“Pacific Legal Foundation and Matt Sissel are asking the Supreme Court to accept our challenge to Obamacare, in order to uphold and enforce the Constitution’s safeguards against arbitrary taxation, and to liberate Americans from a harmful law that was imposed in defiance of those procedures and protections,” said Sandefur.

Pacific Legal argues that Reid simply took the number of a House-passed bill that raised no taxes and and pasted it on the front of the thousands of pages of Obamacare, which taxes Americans $500 billion a year.

*** end quote ***

Not very likely.

We’re already seen SCOTUS turn itself into knots to keep it a la “it’s not a tax” / “it is a tax”.

Argh!
