SETTLE OLD SCORES OUTSIDE, WIN THE BIGGER WAR INSIDE

    Small wars turn into bigger war, small conflict to large scale How far back do you go to find a good war? It’s not that war, the Good War, the Last Good War, the Big One. The end results justified the means in WWII. Industrial death and human neglect in the Axis Powers […]

HISTORY TEACHER TEACHES HISTORY?

  History teacher narrow focus gives poor view.   Darrell Huckaby says, “Take a seat, history class is in session.” Is he talking to you? Not when he says, “Ignorant young people who have no knowledge of how this Republic is supposed to work are dying to get attention by marching in the streets and […]

VETERAN SOLUTIONS FOR VETERAN PROBLEMS

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of veteran problems. The biggest veteran problems come when those who served say, “I didn’t sign up for this.” What is the ‘this’ in “I didn’t sign up for this?” The ‘this’ veterans talk about is the hard part for non-veterans to understand. Even veterans of […]

WHO ARE D-DAY MILLENNIALS

You’ve seen comments for D-Day Millennials on social media. It’s not good, those comments. They start with remarks on a ‘safe place’ and move to ‘what kind of pussified men are we raising?’ Consider the sources if you can. Unless it’s Sergeant Rock talking, don’t get too concerned. Most of the time it’s men and […]

WHO GETS FOOLED AGAIN? WHO? WHO?

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Baby boomers grew up with The Man. It wasn’t daddy, but daddy knew The Man. Sometimes daddy was on The Man reserve. Who is The Man? It’s the police Man. We saw him at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The Man swung a hard […]

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN BOOMER

I hear you asking, “What’s a ‘proven’ boomer?” You know what a ‘made man’ is in the Mafia? They’ve taken an assignment from the boss and done good with it. Usually the assignment that makes you a Made Man also makes you a Button Man. You push the button, pull the trigger, you’re a made […]

BOOMER UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY

Time to answer the charges? Boomer UNTIL proven guilty. Too many accuse the baby boomer generation of things they didn’t do. How can that change? And how fast? You may recognize some of the accusations, you might have a made a few yourself. After all these years, it’s finally okay. Let it go. Boomers showed […]

PROTEST HISTORY: HIPPIES, BLUES BROTHERS, AND AMMON BUNDY

Blues Brothers and Ammon Bundy both on a Mission From God? The history of non-violent protest is a rough one. American college campuses rocked with turmoil in the Sixties and early Seventies with protests against the Vietnam War. The youth of America took notice of federal policy and didn’t like it. And they came strong […]

THE TICKING BABY BOOMERS

We didn’t start the fire? Maybe, but ticking baby boomers sure throw on the logs. A recent statement about relationships explains how you should never let others know what makes you tick. Why? If they know how you tick, they’ll wind you up on their schedule. Sounds stressful, like a hidden life with those who […]

MMA REPUBLICANS IN THE OCTAGON

Who can take a hit best? Read MMA Republicans in the Octagon. The Sunday Oregonian ran a column by E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post titled ‘GOP plays at being television tough guys.’ Not to pick to closely but that’s the only place most of us will ever hear them. On television. Maybe you’ve heard […]
