Snippet:
…Whatever happenned to the Good Old Days, when a World War got underway the POTUS would get on the radio and make a rousing speech Declaring War, the Congress would back him up and they start sending out the Draft Tickets?
Nowadays when the whole WORLD goes to war, nobody mentions it and after one or two articles it gets shuffled to the back pages of the MSM.
Newz for today is that the Thai Army has declared Martial Law because Thailand hasn’t had a working Goobermint for 6 months. Nobody has a working Goobermint right now, the FSoA Goobermint has been completely dysfunctional for at least 5 years…
For the rest, LISTEN TO THE RANT!
