You are probably correct on the year.
I just ‘looked’ at mine again and 1960s doesn’t even ‘look’ right...Oh well, at least the point was correct (I think)...

50s and 60s is when the Russians would arrest an American for spying, WE would arrest 2 Americans for spying or something like that.

Does appear McCarthy was ahead of his time...as well as Ayn Rand, Chester Gould, Al Capp, Jules Verne and a handful of people with a good ‘eye’ to the future.

Of course can’t leave without mentioning Orwell in the above group..<: <:

You were there when England was STILL ENGLAND, writ large!

Yes, it was, which is why I almost didn't come back. Glad I did, though.

I would probably cry, if I were to see my old haunts today. I'm sure much of it is unrecognizable.

Ridiculous . At what point are they going to start shooting these idiots ? Enough tolerance already . It would only take a few and then they will stop . And if not , no great loss .

I’m worried that my daughter may do that. She spent a year there and has been back a couple times. Going again next month.

Not bowing when you enter our Dojang, or to a Black Belt will earn you lots of push ups.

Kinda like not showing respect to a DI in BCT would earn push ups.

The guy should have been exterminated immediately. Preferably by the Brits.

I was worried about the Queen’s Guard swinging his sword so close to the Trumps. That should never have been allowed. You could tell Melania did not care for it.

The leftist msm are lying again. He bowed when he got out of the car. The Queen motioned for him to go ahead of her more than once while inspecting the troops.

"I always marveled at the brazen bravery Greenpeace would show against western powers during the cold war. The Soviet Union? Not so much."

Mathias Rust was a cold war peacenik with a pretty big pair. Nutty as a fruitcake, but landing a Cessna in Red Square at the height of the cold war was not an act of cowardice...

Wm. F. Buckly wrote of the same thing re the “students” who kidnapped the American embassy people. Seems they had also grabbed some Russians. According to Buckley the Soviets grabbed an Imam and sent his balls to the “students” in a box. End of problem for the Russians...

They would have been justified to drop that aircraft, end the threat. I’m surprised they didn’t.

Even a .308 in that things lawn mower engine would have caused a forced landing far away from the President as low as it was, Someone's head should roll on the security team.

yes, Another great man and sort of outspoken. (I guess <:)

“profits in dollars, losses in lives”....

NATO today is as big a scam as ‘shampoo, conditioner’ in the same bottle.

Soviet Union was the reason for its ‘existence’ but now that we no longer have a SU (or so they say) we shouldn’t need to be financing Europe and contributing to their defense.

You can tell when all these orgs are after more money when they start dissing the SU or USA

These idiots call PDT a ‘bully’ for telling these EU clowns where the butter is coming from... I still feel we should just pack up our troops and dependents AND all the associated ‘financial boost’ to the host country and either put them where appreciated or where they will do some ‘GOOD’ .. ie Mexican and probably Canadian (sooner rather than later) borders to snuff out the invasion...

We are being invaded by hordes and not a single shot is being fired UNTIL they get situated in OUR country.

Yes, you WOULD shed many a tear, if you went back to London today; so would I...which is why I’m not ever going back. My memories are almost sacred and I refuse to have them tainted.

I feel much the same way - especially about London, where I spent so many pleasant, memorable days.

My wife and I have long wanted to celebrate our upcoming 25th anniversary in Scotland, but the whole culture in the UK has changed so much, I'm not sure that will happen now.
