I delivered the Washington Evening Star when I was little. (late 1960's) I helped my neighbor, the paperboy, deliver his route and subbed for him in Arlington, VA. There was one house just blocks from us where, if their front door was open, there was quite the panoramic view through their back picture window of DC across the Potomac, and beautiful. Those were the good old days in my childhood.

I admire anyone who reads a newspaper from front to back. Reading it does not equate to believing what you are reading.

I quit reading the paper years ago..Filled with nothing but negative everything I asked myself why I was paying more to depress me..Plus I was ticked at a commentary, numerous, actually from this one guy, name forgoten, and after I read it I called cancelling mine...They likely didn't care but I sure felt good in doing it...

My Dad on the other hand had two delivered every Sunday and would sit for hours drinking his coffee, reading them....

My brother did a paper route and I'd help him fold the papers but dang that ink getting my hands black before done~~

2 Thessalonians 9-12

9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

They're deluded...and that, hopefully, is becoming more apparent to us in the US. Too late for Europe.

A German Jew's View of Islam

This is one of the best explanations of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanay, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist. A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come.'

'My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'

'We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is a religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.'

'The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

'The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China 's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.’

'The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet. And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery? Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

'History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, We often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our Enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.'

'Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Libyans, Syrians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.'

'Now Islamic prayers have been introduced in Toronto and other public schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa, too, while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?). The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.'

'In Australia, and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them. Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and at other food items in your local supermarket. Food on aircraft have the halal emblem just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding within the nation's shores.'

'In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of "no-go" zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuse to acknowledge British law.'

'As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts - the fanatics who threaten our way of life.'

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand.

Extend yourself a bit and send this on. Let us hope that thousands world-wide read this, think about it, and send it on before it's too late.

We've been silent since the 50s when Johnson wrangled a deal to silence the churches. Now we're trying to play catch-up. Passive for way too long just like the folks in your post. The good thing is that there is no where near the economic desperation here that the Germans were dealing with in the years following WWI, nor have we just lost a world war and been subjected to the humiliation of defeat and reparations. I don't think the fruit loops can pull off here what the brown shirts did in Germany. I think many people are waking up here.

The business entities have Americans fighting over crumbs as they do whatever they want themselves..and some of us are stupid enough to defend them....when businesses don't give a damn about nothing but executive compensation and investor returns...I taught an HR course in Public Admin that showed how the ratio of executive to worker compensation went from 46:1 to 454:1 between the 60's and 2000's...........

what should be done is that poor people need to stop being pro-business and force people like scott walker to not fk them over..........and demand more from businesses starting as consumers.....so when people like ao laughs at me about an older car that looks and runs new....he doesn't understand I'm not a mindless consumer slave and when I buy something like that..I hold onto it and change my financial situation before I buy something else...if Americans were not convinced they had to have new trinkets to feel like they are somebody...they could make companies work for them....as an employee or a consumer.....

Is there one particular way he's fking them over that stands out to you? What would that be?

Hmmm...airlines come to mind. They've been shrinking seats until its damned uncomfortable for me to fly. I'm mostly legs which means I have sit sideways, legs jammed in the seat in front of me, then there's the whole beating people up and tossing them off a flight they paid for and already seated in! Someone should go to jail for that.

I'm with you. My dream truck is a 69 F-100 fleetside shortbed (I'm finding they aren't common ) with a straight 6 300. Most bulletproof vehicle I once owned that I wish I still had. What I'm driving now is an 11 year old Chrysler LHS...I hate it! But it gets way better gas mileage than the 78 4WD!

I'll get that truck one day. Watch! A friend of mine found a short wheel base F-100 chassis. Now, if I could just find a fleetside body.......sorry!
