On Memorial Day, the flowers bloom. A dozen towns in a dozen states all claim that it began there when after the long weary struggle of the Civil War, the mothers and sisters of the lost and the fallen brought fresh cut flowers to bring a touch of life to the dead men entombed in the cold, gray stone.

There’s something wrong when Islamic terrorists receive better health care than American veterans.
It’s the liberal mentality.
I am going to have to stop reading Daniel Greenfield.
A boycott if you will.
Every one of his columns now raise my blood pressure to dangerous levels.
“We live today in an America in which the butchers of the Jihad in Guantanamo Bay receive better medical care than veterans waiting endlessly at the VA. While Obama cut off hot meals for Marines in Afghanistan, Islamic terrorists in Guantanamo Bay were enjoying lemon baked fish, honey glazed chicken, lyonaise rice, tandouri chicken breast, okra, hummus, dates, honey and seasoned lentils.”

Yeah.
The Gimmiedats voted the enemy into power.
Now, deal with it.
He does indeed write with a thought-provoking, almost brutal, insight and honesty. I think he is one of the most brilliant columnists working today, along with Mark Steyn and Victor Davis Hanson.
That is all about to change in November. A new sheriff is coming to town.
John Kennedy put a man on the moon. He had a physical fitness program for school kids which was more than jumping around, they hiked many miles. It was a time of big ideas and big ideals.
Today we have an excess of small mindedness where putting perverts in the wrong bathroom is a big idea.
You and I agree on Greenfield, Steyn and Hanson.
For sure.
The irony of Memorial Day is that Southern women in Columbus, Mississippi, decorated both the Union and Confederate graves in the cemetery there and was the origin of Memorial Day. They held no animosity and honored both sides. With today’s leader creating divisive environments and the VA run by liberal affirmative action Democrats, the former Confederates can no longer have their graves adorned with the Confederate Battle Flag.
Why haven’t we seen more written about the vandalism to numerous memorials honoring our dead military people? As a veteran myself, I am appalled (actually I’m pissed) that someone would do that and given the opportunity, would love to pound some heads.
Vietnamese Communist Leader Says US Anti-War Activists Helped Their Victory
Richard Pollock

In the weeks leading up to Memorial Day and President Barack Obama’s scheduled trip to Vietnam, a prominent Vietcong communist leader privately thanked American anti-war activists for helping defeat the U.S.-allied government in Vietnam in the 1970s, saying protest demonstrations throughout the United States were “extremely important in contributing to Vietnam’s victory.”
For Vietnamese guerrilla leader Madam Nguyen Thi Binh, who sent the private letter from Hanoi dated April 20, “victory” meant the communist takeover of South Vietnam. The letter addressed veteran American anti-war activists who gathered in Washington, D.C., at a May 3 reunion of radical “May Day” anti-war leaders.
The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained a copy of the letter at the meeting.
Binh, now age 90, originally served as the highest ranking Vietnamese delegate to the Paris Peace Talks that imposed a ceasefire in the country in 1973.
The “Vietcong” was a ragtag group of communist guerrillas who were allied with the official communist government in North Vietnam. The country was cut in two in 1954, with the south seeking to build a democratic state allied to the West.
Binh’s frank admission highlights a secret side of the communist’s effective lobbying influence in the United States. Rather than live in the southern part of the country, which for decades she represented as a diplomat, it appears after the war Binh was living in Hanoi, the original capital of North Vietnam.
In her letter, she extolled the American anti-war movement, saying it was “a key component” that advanced the communist takeover of South Vietnam.
“The Vietnamese people have great appreciation for the peace and antiwar movements in the United States and view those movements’ contribution as important in shortening the war,” she wrote and which was read to an assembled group of “May Day” anti-war activists in Washington, D.C.
There is something wrong when we allow islamists to enter our country to live as they did in their country. I think is it wrong. They do not assimilate and gripe and fuss about our way of life about everything American.
I was JUST watching some Andrew Dice Clay from 1989 (I know, I know, I’m lowlife, going to Hell and you are not)and it was amazing the reaction he got from almost 30 years ago everytime he said “If you can’t speak the language, get back on the plane.” The audiences (probably most, if not all), were liberals and were uproarious in their agreement. Trump should get Dice to do some of his routines for warm up at his gatherings. (Have to put a muzzle on him, though).
