INSPIRATIONAL: Another group like the White Rose; where would today’s youths be?
Tuesday, December 13, 2016http://airforce.togetherweserved.com/usaf/dispatches/1216.html#article4
The German Teens Who Rebelled Against Hitler
These adolescents, aged between 12 and 17, hang around late in the evening with musical instruments and young females. Since this riff raff is in large part outside the Hitler Youth and adopts a hostile attitude towards the organization, they represent a danger to other young people. – Nazi Party Report, Dusseldorf, Germany, July 1943
*** begin quote ***
The Pirates and the groups affiliated with them were labeled criminals by the courts of the era. In 2005, German officials officially relabeled them as resistance fighters and honored the surviving five members still in Cologne. The Edelweiss Pirates had fulfilled Hitler’s desire for German youths to be fearless and unwavering in the face of adversity. He just hadn’t anticipated it would be pointed in his direction.
*** end quote ***
I suspect retreating to their “safe spaces”.
We have lost so much of our “national character” by soft living. I think of what my paternal grandmother did and I doubt that I could do it. I’m sure that 99% of today’s youth surely couldn’t. She was married at 12 on the docks in Germany, traveled the Oregon trail to a better life, fighting off indians and outlaws along the way, bore 13 children—many of who didn’t survive, and had her young husband die in his late twenties leaving her penniless when she was pregnant with my father. That was a courageous woman.
I’m hard pressed to see that spirit anywhere around today.
The Hollywood, Sports, and Rap “stars” play at being a bad ass. They are just cheap imitations of the real American spirit.
Sadly.
Dona Nobis Pacem

Ever since “a certain young lady” has me watching the crime shows (i.e., L&O of all genres and Investigation Discovery), I’ve realized how important it is for me to have “trusted contacts” in case she “sacks” me. (Never knew how many women killers there were IRL!)
Laugh!
You might want to avail yourself of it.

Interesting last paragraph about the minority’s need to restrain the majority. Funny when the shoe is on the other foot.

Harry Reid is evil for what he did to Romney. He should have been excoriated for that alone! Shame on him.
