Most Americans look back on the 1950s as a good time. Our homes were safe, to the point where many people did not bother to lock their doors. Public schools were generally excellent, and their problems were things like talking in class and running in the halls. Most men treated women like ladies, and most ladies devoted their time and effort to making good homes, rearing their children well and helping their communities through volunteer work. Children grew up in two–parent households, and the mother was there to meet the child when he came home from school. Entertainment was something the whole family could enjoy.

What happened?

April 20, 2009: U.S. Army troops are becoming more energetic and vocal in efforts to get rid of the black beret they have been forced to wear for the past eight years. Back in 2000, the U.S. Army commander (Chief Of Staff) general Eric Shinseki ordered that the black beret replace the traditional billed cap (which had been used for nearly a century)

. Shinseki believed the black beret would be a symbol of excellence, reflecting the overall professionalism of the entire Army. He believed the black beret would repair the (largely nonexistent) divisions created by the use of different color berets in some units (red for airborne, green for special forces, black for rangers). Shinseki also believed that, because black berets are (everywhere but in the United States ) worn by armor troops, and in the U.S. by Rangers, the new headgear would reflect a merger of both light and heavy forces.

Gunny G: What’s Going On With This Glenn Beck Show On Fox???

Most patriotic folks now think that the new GB program is great.

Myself, I used to listen to the old GB radio show but gave it up because I don’t like his mannerisms, yelling and screaming, etc. So when he began his new show, I, reluctantly, watched the first few weeks. Granted his popularity and the topics he covers, it kinda qualifies as a lesser of evils,  given the situation we are all in. I still don’t like his mannerisms (they are even worse on TV than radio), but WTH!

Still, there are–besides his mannerisms–a coupla things that do bug me still about all this.

REBRANDING MANHOOD by Marc H. Rudov

Fathers Are Mere Tenants

The manhood brand is dead, kaput, and that is no accident. Men, who built the legal and physical infrastructure of this country from scratch, have, over the past 36 years, chosen to allow women to marginalize and overshadow them. It’s as though the entire history of men was written on an Etch-a-Sketch and then shaken until erased. Maria Shriver, wife of The Terminator, has proclaimed America a woman’s nation, and she is right. How pathetic.

The epitome of dead manhood is the corrupted structure of parenthood: mothers own children, fathers rent them. Such is the outcome of the Roe v. Wade decision, which unconstitutionally handed women more reproductive rights than men. This 1973 US Supreme Court decision told women: it’s your body, your baby, your choice.

OBAMA PUBLICATION TARGETS FREEDOM-LOVING AMERICANS By Lynn Stuter

“Of course, the primary catalyst of all this, according to the publication, is the election of the “first African American president.” In other words, all of this has to do with race!

And, by the way, if you are unemployed, there is a “strong association” between your employment status and “rightwing extremist beliefs in [your] children—specifically xenophobia and antidemocratic ideals.”

And if you’ve purchased a gun recently, know that you are more likely to participate in “paramilitary training exercises” even if the thought never crossed your mind!

And not to be left out, reason why S 773 and S 778 should be passed so AKA can control the internet:”

“We must be on the alert for these right wing extremists. You can easily spot them. They are pro-life, pro-states’ rights, anti-federal government involvement, pro-gun, anti-illegal immigration, and they are often US military veterans. Golly! Let me know if you see any.” — Hal

TEA PARTY REVOLUTION: WHAT NOW? by Alan Stang

“The conspirators the Big Ears Communists work for have almost arrived at their historic, hundred-year goal. Not profit, not money – they don’t know how much money they have – but the power to step on your face until you choke in the mud, their bloody golf cleats grinding in your cheek. They are psychopaths who, in normal times, would be incarcerated in hospitals for the criminal insane. One of their goals is the extermination of as much as 90% of the earth’s population. What does that have to do with profit?

These monsters have already murdered at least a couple of hundred million people. Now that they are so close to total victory, they are crazier than ever. They will not “see reason,” they will not negotiate; they will kill anyone they must to win. They are like a hydrophobic pit bull savaging a poodle. We can win only if we have more power than they do.”

The first tea party we attended was on Tuesday, April 14th, in Friendswood, a suburb of Houston. As soon as we arrived, the Love Priestess began working the crowd, assisted by her sister, Ann. She was supposed to be handing out business cards plugging my daily radio talk show via Republic Broadcasting Network, which she did, but there was something else, so secret she hadn’t told even me about it.

She had papers people were signing on a clip board, during the long period before the program. It turned out they were petitions to the main speaker, Congressman Pete Olson. The Republican Party in Washington sent Pete here to take back the Tom Delay seat occupied by a Democrat when Delay was ousted, and, because this is such a staunch Republican district, he did so.

The petitions asked Pete to co-sponsor HR 1207, which for the first time would subject the Fed to an outside audit under the imprimatur of “transparency.” This is something Democrats can support because, remember, illegal alien Also Known As has called again and again for “transparency” in government. No doubt that is why the proposal already has fifty five co-sponsors.

This is unfamiliar ground to Dr. Ron Paul, chief sponsor of the bill. Whenever there is a vote in the House of 434-1, you really don’t need to look it up. Invariably, the lone vote against will come from “Dr. No.” Indeed, some of the signatures the Love Priestess got came from Republicans who like “transparency” but hate Dr. Paul. So, they love the message but hate the messenger.

In his remarks, the congressman came out boldly against excessive spending and higher taxes, classic Republican issues calculated to set the crowd on fire. As he wound down, the Love Priestess appeared at stage side laden down with petitions. I still didn’t know what she was planning to do. By now I was merely hoping that she wouldn’t be arrested on my watch, which would have been hard to explain to the kiddos.

As soon as he extruded the final syllable, she was with him at the lectern, handing him the petitions, telling him that 110 of his constituents in the audience wanted him to co-sponsor 1207. The signers were watching all this and knew what she was doing. The microphone was still on and Olson, inspired, said he would. Still not satisfied, she said, “So are you publicly committing to co-sponsor 1207?” The congressman replied, “I think I just did.”
