This Week In American History

Thomas Paine and “Common Sense”


ImagePerhaps once a life-time, a book or piece of literature makes such an impact on the world that it literally changes the course of history. “The Judeo-Christian Bible” is the greatest example of a book that has made great-changes to the world. “The Holy Bible” is the biggest selling book of all time and no doubt has changed many lives and the direction of nations. This week however, we celebrate an American booklet that was published by one of our nation’s fiery-founding-fathers, Thomas Paine. His pamphlet or booklet titled, “Common Sense” was introduced to a fledgling-nation in 1776 and helped change the course of American and world history.

Gaza’s next wave of terrorists
Written by Howie   
Tuesday, 06 January 2009
ImageI went to cnn.com this morning looking for a video of a bearded Palestinian man that I had seen just a portion of.  The man in the video was talking about how Israel was killing their children and the war would not end until Israel had paid with their own children.  I only caught one or two sentences of the video and I wanted to see the whole thing.  I got the impression that he was trying to say that Israel killed Palestinian kids first and for that would be punished.  Well I have to say that I agree, sort of, the first group to violently kill children should be punished; the problem is that any kids that die when Israel fires into Gaza are collateral damage whereas when Hamas blows up a bomb on a city bus they are targeting children and civilians intentionally.

12-Year-Old Ohio Boy Given Military Burial


ImageWow.  What a remarkable young man.  Truly an example to follow.  Lead from the front, Dennis!  Semper Fi!







Nods to LftBhndAgn and Knottie

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you,
and whispered “Come to me”.
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.


Rest in peace Bubba…

The fake Ranger speaks and blasts IVAW!!

Now, keep in mind, that this man is a liar. He has lied in the past about being a combat veteran from Iraq on multiple occasions. That being said, evidence to the fact that members of the IVAW could be frauds like Jesse Adam McBeth exists. This makes his accusions creditable.

You can read the orginal article here on Hot Air .

I thought that you all would find this interesting...

 
Charity homes built by Hollywood start to crumble

First of all, I used to be in the construction industry and anyone building anything quickly was looked at by inspectors as a "no no".  I actually had a superintendent ask me why his concrete crew could only pour 5 house slabs when I was the technician, and pour 11 house slabs and four garage slabs in one day when I wasn't there.  I found out that the concrete tech (from another company) the second day made 11 sets of mud from the first truck and left.  The ASTM (building specifications for construction) manual called out for a slump on the concrete of 4" with a tolerance of + or - 0".  I laughed at him and told him that his 11 sets of mud better be at or above strength in 28 days or he was probably going to have to tear down those 11 houses for faulty slabs.  You should have seen the look on his face.

I have seen incidences like this bancrupt other companies.  Without the proper permits and inspections by the city, the contractor is completely liable for the quality of the construction.

If I lived there, I would sue Jimmy Carter.  As with everything, there is a right way and a wrong way to do something.  Jimmy Carter, once again, has shown us the wrong way to build a house.  Just like he showed us the wrong way to be a United States President.
