I have long felt that life is like a series of links in a chain. You might be driving down the road and you hear a song on the radio, or see a picture, and you feel a memory…. Something that reminds you of a different time and place than where you are right now.
You reflect.
The memories you consider remind you of a totally different time in your life. Perhaps you lived in a different place. Perhaps you were surrounded by different people. Perhaps a different job or completely different friends.
You recognize those memories were constructed like frozen moments in time. They become individual links in the chain in your life.
We never actually realize, in the immediate moment, when one link closes and another link begins. But when we look back, we can clearly see distinct points where things changed, the link closed, and a new link began. The links are only visible in reflection.

“They have given their sons to the military services. They have stoked the furnaces and hurried the factory wheels.
They have made the planes and welded the tanks, riveted the ships and rolled the shells.”
– President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, August 19, 1942

Anyone remember back when SNL used to be funny…sometime back in 1976?  This latest skit contains a nice dose of psychological conditioning.  It’s promoting a message of “inevitability” … meant to psychologically condition white viewers to a sense of resignation and passivity.  We’re seeing more and more of these kinds of mind games in all genres of media and entertainment. I guess going on hikes, hugging dad, flying to the moon, all presented with customary self-effacing goofiness, are nothing more than corny SWPL (stuff white people like)?

Interesting…..when the woman says, “Let’s get at least 4 more [white] presidents”, isn’t she tacitly acknowledging that non-whites always vote for someone of their own race regardless of the candidate’s capabilities or experience?

What say you?

If you ask me, they all  look like a bunch of Obama campaign staffers partying after the last election…..blue mocking red all the way.   Oh, and the commenters over on YouTube didn’t think too much of the skit either.

If your children are old enough to be in college, they probably think the country they were born into is falling apart.  If you’re a Baby Boomer like myself, you know the country you were born into is already gone.  It’s a hard thing to thwart the general feeling of optimism shared by most Americans during a beautiful summer season.  But, if you stop and take a thoughtful assessment of the disasters currently befalling our world, perhaps you’ll see that the fall might be closer than you think.

The summer of 2014 will go down in history as the season when America fell apart. Let’s take a tour of the disasters…

(Townhall)…Germany in 2008 enthusiastically hosted candidate Barack Obama for his so-called “Victory Column” speech. Now, Germans suddenly sound as if they are near-enemies of the U.S. Chancellor Angela Merkel reportedly was furious that her cell phone was tapped by American intelligence agents. She just kicked the top CIA official out of Germany, further enraged that the U.S. had recruited at least one German official to provide intelligence on the German government. Polls show that Germans find Vladimir Putin’s Russian tyranny almost as popular as Barack Obama’s America.
Japan is becoming similarly frustrated with the U.S. It is rearming like crazy to confront an aggressive China. Both Asian powers apparently assume that Obama won’t guarantee the security of the Japanese as America had in the past. (more…)

As reported by Ed Driscoll at PJ Media,apparently the transition of American leadership from the John Wayne/Malboro Man prototype of sturdy masculinity has now morphed to ….. Pyjama Beta Boy Petulance.

“…Imagine you’re a backroom boffin in Vladimir Putin’s Russia assigned to monitor all of the news media out of the West that references Russia and your boss. Imagine the chuckle you know Putin’s going to get when you show him the following screen capture from CNN…”

February 23, 1836:

General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna reaches San Antonio with a large body of his troops, mostly cavalry. Much of his assault infantry, engineer troops and siege artillery are strung out along the road back to the Rio Grande. Of these, many of his native troops, lightly dressed for the warmth of Mexico, have suffered in a late and particularly harsh winter storm along their hasty, forced march towards the rebellious province of Tejas.

We are indeed a “divided America”. Both with Deep Water…

He stared toward a cloudless sky
A tear was present in his eye.
What did he see I wondered loud
this man of strength did not look proud.

I stood and watched a box filled square
contemplating upon his stare.
What are his eyes held witness to?
What brought forth such tears of painful hue?

Electronically we were connected,
our lives attached, and now affected.
What horror brought upon his gaze?
What caused such pain seen mid the haze? (more…)

 Here’s a shockingly accurate depiction of the world  from the viewpoint of your typical San Franciscan.  You know it’s funny because it’s true.
