the Titanic picture is just damn creepy...

It surprised me how long it took before someone posted Kevin Carter’s photograph.
One of my all time favorites. Pure Balls.
(Though the image was of such poor resolution I still hope that it was fake.)
The guy had been stripped naked and was hanging from a tree limb by one leg (rope attached at the foot) and a long wooden shaft had been inserted deep into him.. he had to be dead by that time.
These revolutionary heroes and mentors of the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radicals (psycho spoiled brats) were the vanguard of the people's paradise the Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) want.

I hate it when I get SPAM on Free Republic.
Some very moving pics, thanks for posting.
The ones with children really get me. The brave little boys and the suffering children. ouch.
And the men having lunch on the skyscraper beam. That always invokes panic in me.
Never really paid much attention to the one of LBJ being sworn in with Jackie at his side. I didn’t know she was still covered in her husband’s blood when it was taken.
No kids please. Especially dead ones or crying ones.
Wow. The photo “Soldier and his loyal companion” brought tears to my eyes. (and I do not easily get misty-eyed)
Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James of Dallas is overcome with emotion as he embraces Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. during the Dallas Veterans Day Commemoration at Dallas City Hall in 2005.

Chief Petty Officer Graham Jackson was scheduled to play his accordion for President Franklin Roosevelt's enjoyment on April 12, 1945. Instead he played "Going Home" as the President's body was escorted away from the Little White House in Warm Springs, Ga.
A Date Which Will Live In Infamy. 1,177 lives were lost when the battleship Arizona exploded during the Pearl Harbor Attack; almost half of the 2,403 killed that day.
Having just gotten home from work, I was asleep when the attack started. My mom woke me up and I turned on the TV just seconds before the second plane hit.
Into The Valley Of Death. Ladder 118 and her six-man crew race across the Brooklyn Bridge just minutes after the second plane hit the World Trade Center. Sadly, all six men would lose their lives that day.
President Reagan less than a second before the madman Hinckley opened fire.
USS Cole limps out of the Port of Aden, Yemen after being struck by a small boat laden with explosives. Seventeen sailors lost their lives that day.
The 2011 Japan Tsunami.
I noticed that one of them repeats the Mohammed al-Dura lies. Whoever said that the camera doesn’t lie was crazy.
bump for later
I can't look at it without tears.
