The Writer's Life 6/6 - D-Day

The results of the Wisconsin recall election have to be encouraging for those of us who wish to see the tide toward socialism reversed. By a margin of 53 to 46%, voters decided to retain Governor Scott Walker, whose reforms seem to be working. It's great to see that a majority of citizens refuse to let unions bankrupt them. The most satisfying aspect of the event is the thought of how the left must be eating their collective hearts out. Donations and volunteers from around the country poured into the Badger state. Unions burned through millions, but will no doubt steal and shake down the weak to refill the coffers for future battles. Since Wisconsinites no longer have dues automatically deducted from their checks, many have abandoned their brothers and sisters. Membership is down drastically. It's always about the money. How refreshing to see that adults are in charge, at least temporarily. One discouraging note: exit polls show voters prefer Obama to Romney by a margin of 53 to 42%. Socialism has a strong foothold in this country that will not easily be reversed.

Today is the anniversary of D-Day. In a cemetery near what was dubbed Omaha Beach, there are 9387 Americans buried, a lot of them kids thousands of miles from home who gave their lives to preserve the freedom vital to mankind's happiness and prosperity. Thank you.

I continue to find it so ironic that President Obama's only real success is in the prosecution of the War on Terror. Guantanamo is still open and monsters are still being offed. Yesterday another Al Qaeda big shot, in Pakistan, was taken out by a drone. What happened to the war's protestors? Why aren't rock stars and film makers doing works titled "Kill List" or "Drone, Baby, Drone"? Several pundits have pointed out that the targeted assassinations eliminate the need to incarcerate those enemy combatants at the left's most hated prison. Continued success in this department, Mr. President.

There was a great cartoon by Sean Delonas on Page Six of the NY Post today. And here it is:

Moses dropped off a book donation that included several psychology texts. Minutes later Kofi, who works in the psych department at Coney Island Hospital, visited the floating bookshop and purchased all of them. Thank you, sirs, and to all the other kind folks who bought today.
