Should the London Olympics remember the 1972 Munich Holocaust? Do you?

America can’t memorialize the 1972 Munich hostage killings, because that act of terrorism was not unlike our own airstrikes or special ops raids, against purported enemy combatants, off the field of combat, except we don’t even try to kidnap them … Continue reading

Adieu, Grenouilles, Adieu – The Great Buzz-Kill

The Leaders of the Anti-Homeless Anti-Worker Jihad merge…

Actually never separated. They tip their hand in many ways, statements that “ungrateful” workers don’t provide enough deference (slavish boot-licking obedience) to their Wealthy Masters, who of course are “better” than the rest of us, simply evidenced by their wealth. … Continue reading

Why does Glenn Beck “Hate” the 9/11 families who ask questions?
