| WARNING: THIS SITE FEATURES ORIGINAL THINKING...Jim Croce once sang Don't tug on Superman's cape..., which seems like reasonable advice should we not wish to anger the supreme powers. We do have this duality in our culture: the Superman that is the state collective, the leftist call to a politics of meaning managed by the state, the deification of "we're from the government and we'll take care of you" - versus the Superman that celebrates individual freedom, private property, freedom of conscience, free enterprise, and limited government. We humbly take on the latter's mantle and, eschewing the feeble tug, we dare to PULL, in hope of seeing freedom's rescue from the encroaching nanny state. We invite you, dear reader, to come and pull as well... Additionally, if you assume that means that we are unflinching, unquestioning GOP zombies, that would be incorrect. We reject statism in any form and call on individuals in our country to return to the original, classical liberalism of our founders. (We're also passionate about art, photography, cooking, technology, Judeo/Christian values, and satire as unique, individual pursuits of happiness to celebrate.) |
Superman's product of the century (so far):
My mother's eldest brother was a Navy medic stationed at Schofield Barracks on December 7, 1941. He has spoken to me once about that day - I was a child of 12 or so - and I can still visualize the blood running down the street evoked by his harrowing tale.
This dear uncle, now in his 90's, is still alive on his farm in Oregon.
There's a brief (high-bandwidth needed - requires MS Media Player) video focused on Memorial Day 2001 at Pearl Harbor here. There's a brief history of the attack on Pearl Harbor here and a good page of resource links here.
This day we remember international treachery and this day we remember 2,008 Navy personnel, 109 Marines, 228 Army, and 57 civilians, and more than 1,000 wounded who were called that day, 63 years ago to pay the most exacting price for a people who will live free.
May God bless their souls and may God continue to bless our free nation.
UPDATE: Michelle Malkin pens a great post.
