If you want to Honor the Fallen this Memorial Day

be sure that you vote for the Democrats. Our forefathers stormed the beaches of Normandy to protect our republic, and we should not cede any of it to spite mongering haters who value vindictiveness above patriotism. Like my Pop Pop used to say:

You. can't. claim. the. moral. high. ground. while. you're. standing. in. a. heap. of. bullshit.

Racism is bullshit. Sexism is bullshit. HATE is bullshit. Spite is also bullshit.

From my neck of the woods, it seems the red dots don't CARE what their position is, as long as it "sticks it to the libs" and the "fuck your feelings" crowd really expect us to genuflect to their spitefulness.

Don't let them get away with it. There are more of us than there are of them.

Happy Memorial Day. When they go low, DON'T BACK DOWN. Because enough is enough

America can no longer claim any high ground as we watch our children being slaughtered in their classrooms, women and POC subjugated, the planet dying from our abuse, a million Americans dead from covid, etc etc.

We sit by and watch ruthless sociopaths, Russia and China, shift global power, we are afraid and cowering.

My father flew combat in three wars, risked his life to keep our democracy. My uncle was US Navy killed in the WWII Battle of Guadalcanal.

I thank God that my dad is not alive to see what this country has become.

The best thing we can do is honor their sacrifice is to do the right thing.
Fight like hell for our kids and country.

Zelensky Doctrine: Against all odds, fight like hell and win.

The shame belongs to those of us who turn a blind eye and have given up.

Here's a quote I've been posting from Churchill, with a few modifications (too few, in my opinion)

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by local, state and national elections, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim?

I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realized; no survival for the the United States, no survival for all that the United States has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards equality, respect for all, and fairness to all. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among all of us. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, “come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.”


Oh well, here's my complete "motivation" page, with GOTV links to share.

Those are all taught.
And the idiots are "defining" themselves as "I'm not whatever they are", which gives their lives no meaning at all.
