Please don’t try to tell me how I should feel about something I have nothing to do with. That’s like people trying to tell me I should feel guilty for slavery — despite the fact that I wasn’t even alive when it happened.
Did Hillary reiterate her “Martin Luther King had a dream, but it took a white man (and a President) to make it happen” talking point?
So my Holiday toast to everybody this year is: May this year be better than last — in whatever and however many ways that you need or wish it to be.
Merry Christmas — and here’s a little Holiday Treat for everybody (language warning — turn down the volume if there are small children or old ladies in the vicinity)
Just received from one of the Marines that I work with (former helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps):
