Remembering Those Who Served

[Note that I’m keeping this post at the top all day, but there’s lots of new content if you haven’t checked in in a while — just scroll past it]

Here is my Veterans Day post from last year.

Red Poppies

And this is ridiculous, and one more sign of the decline of Old Blighty.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that all those men died in Flanders’ fields so that this schmuck could burn a poppy on the Internet, but that’s certainly the sort of thing that Americans have died in battle for, and many of them did die at Ypres and other places for that right, even for non-Americans.

I’ll try to keep this at the top today, so keep scrolling.

Really?

So the administration would have us believe that only after the election was the president told by the FBI that an investigation with possible national-security implications — involving no less than the director of the Central Intelligence Agency — has been going on since the summer. We’re also to believe that the director’s resignation after the election and before congressional hearings on Benghazi is purely coincidental. Not only that, but when the most powerful man in the world learned of the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, he immediately ordered that everything be done to secure all personnel at the site — but apparently, everyone ignored him. So he did what any commander in chief would do under such circumstances — he went to bed.

Yes, they really do think we’re that stupid.

Well, unfortunately, it appears that a little over half of us are.
