This letter has been sent to the Washington Post. We thought our FReeper friends might like to see it.

[Steve Newton]

Thank you for your service my friend

Kipling had a way with words.

[GOPJ]

They were not easily moved, They were icy-willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere Deplorables began to hate. Their voices were even and low, Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show, When Deplorables began to hate. It was not preached to the crowd, It was not taught by the State. No man spoke it aloud, When Deplorables began to hate. It was not suddenly bred, It will not swiftly abate, Through the chill years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That Deplorables began to hate.

[Gayle Rae]

They will begin it under the impression that they CAN win it. Arrogance knows no bounds in that camp.

[Steve Newton]

I think they noticed but are just ignoring the fact. The left is very good at ignoring facts and going with hate.

[KSCITYBOY]

btt

[Steve Newton]

Sigh. I agree

[Steve Newton]

LOL.....Well said.....and nice pic!

[Steve Newton]

Gayle I am very much afraid that a war is brewing. And It will be worse than the first Civil War

[NorthMountain]

But why would they be so stupid to start a war they cannot win?

People who start wars, do so when they THINK they can win them. Sometimes they're right. Sometimes they honestly miscalculate. Sometimes they delude themselves.

I believe the leftists think they can win. I think they're deluding themselves.

[Gayle Rae]

George Santayana
(1863-1952), who, in his Reason in Common Sense, The Life of Reason, Vol.1, wrote “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Perhaps they should re-study the revolution....when tyranny ran rampant and freedoms and rights were trampled, there was rebellion. It’s idiotic to think it wouldn’t happen again given sufficient cause.

[GOPJ]

They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings; So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride...

[Steve Newton]

I believe your right. They don’t seem to understand that these-—”hearings” may just be the final straw. We live in interesting times.

[Steve Newton]

Yes. I agree. And I think we have reached the point of “sufficient” cause

[Gayle Rae]

Indeed. Too bad they seem to have the idea that those who get fed up will just “roll over and play dead”. Big mistake on their part...

[Tucker39]

I enlisted, right off the farm. Wound up in Japan on an Army Security Agancy base. Liked it so much I extended my enlistment a year. I decided against making a career of it, but I wouldn’t trade my Army experiences for anything. Uncle Sam made a man out of me.

[GOPJ]

Rudyard Kipling

[Steve Newton]

Agreed. My military service pointed me in the right way for sure

[Oatka]

We have all the weapons and you can’t even decide which bathroom to use. I would remember that. Don’t start something you can’t finish.

[Steve Newton]

LOL....I like it!
