Well now that you mention it...

Holy Cow, I'm not sure how I've muddled along watching the antics of of the left as long as I have without realizing this:
As has been said so many times and with unassailable accuracy of the Left, creation is beyond their ken; they are utterly incapable of it. They can only pervert, degrade, defile, and destroy.
Which upon reflection is of course true, unless we're talking about creating efficient prison systems or methods to dispose of the millions of bodies upon which socialist utopias apparently must be built. A statement made in passing by Mike, obviously a smarter man than I'll ever be.

Memorial day 2021

Two for you today. First from the immortal Gipper, followed by one from the inimitable Rudyard Kipling.

A Time for Choosing

But freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it and then hand it to them with the well-thought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America when men were free.

– Ronald Reagan

The Veterans



Written for the Gathering of Survivors the Indian Mutiny, Albert Hall, 1907

To-day, across our fathers’ graves,
The astonished years reveal
The remnant of that desperate host
Which cleansed our East with steel.

Hail and farewell! We greet you here,
With tears that none will scorn–
O Keepers of the House of old,
Or ever we were born!

One service more we dare to ask–
Pray for us, heroes, pray,
That when Fate lays on us our task
We do not shame the Day!

- Rudyard Kipling
