Just like bullets, food is used as a weapon.by its absence.<br /><br />The last time the US intervened in Haiti, it occurred that what was needed was enough Marines to see to the distribution of food and water coming of large cargo ships. If the people of Haiti were not starved into submission by there Europeanized overlords, they could become nutritionally self-sufficient. <br /><br /><br />allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605114251615293411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-24473440182270999882013-11-18T04:35:39.756-05:002013-11-18T04:35:39.756-05:00November 18, 2013

Well, here is something else we can thank Obamacare for: more people needing the assistance of food banks. This comes not from any right wing source, but from the Salvation Army in ultra-blue Seattle, via MSM mainstay there, KIRO TV. John Nicely writes:<br /><br />The Affordable Care Act, orObamacare, is now being linked to a new group of people depending on food banks. In the past three months the already stretched-thin Salvation Army Food Bank in Renton has seen an influx of a new type of client.<br /><br />"What we're seeing is a lot of people who've had their full-time hours reduced to less than 30 hours," said Capt. Chris Aird of the Salvation Army.<br /><br />That coincides with companies reducing workers' hours in anticipation of the new health care law. The list of companies reducing hours to less than 30 hours a week includes Trader Joe's, Dupont, IBM, UPS, Walgreens, Home Depot, and Time Warner Cable, according to Reuters/Wall Street Journal.<br /><br />Well, we can cut President Obama just a little bit of slack here. After all, he never promised that "If you like your 40 hour a week job, you can keep your 40 hour a week job," now did he? In fact, nobody but us "right wing crazies" was warning the American people that putting in a huge extra cost on giving people jobs for 30 hours a week or more was going to result in people losing such jobs, and the inevitable growth of part time work. That fully predictable outcome was something nobody in the mainstream,m media wanted to hear. And we were called racists for pointing it out.<br /><br />So, if you've lost your 40 hour a week job and are understandably having a hard time making ends meet on part time wages, you can Thank Obamacare.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-64688660840667727692013-11-18T01:33:23.783-05:002013-11-18T01:33:23.783-05:00Song

On 11...A High Holy Day in my family - September 11<br /><br />On 11 September 1297, an army jointly led by Wallace and Andrew Moray won the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Although vastly outnumbered, the Scottish army routed the English army. John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey's professional army of 3,000 cavalry and 8,000 to 10,000 infantry met disaster as they crossed over to the north side of the river. The narrowness of the bridge prevented many soldiers from crossing together (possibly as few as three men abreast), so while the English soldiers crossed, the Scots held back until half of them had passed and then killed the English as quickly as they could cross. The infantry were sent on first, followed by heavy cavalry. But the Scots' schiltron formations forced the infantry back into the advancing cavalry. A pivotal charge, led by one of Wallace's captains, caused some of the English soldiers to retreat as others pushed forward, and under the overwhelming weight, the bridge collapsed and many English soldiers drowned. Thus the Scots won a significant victory which boosted the confidence of their army. Hugh Cressingham, Edward's treasurer in Scotland, died in the fighting and it is reputed that his body was subsequently flayed and the skin cut into small pieces as tokens of the victory. The Lanercost Chronicle records that Wallace had "a broad strip [of Cressingham’s skin] ... taken from the head to the heel, to make therewith a baldrick for his sword".[16]<br /><br />wiki article on her ancestorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1167715313633876632013-11-18T00:24:06.231-05:002013-11-18T00:24:06.231-05:00My wife claims to be distantly related to William ...My wife claims to be distantly related to William "Braveheart" Wallace.

And though the hair-tackle has happened to guys like Troy Polamalu and Ricky Williams, it’s hard to remember a player ever having his hair ripped out of his scalp by a defender. Andre Ellington was on the wrong side of history on Sunday.<br /><br />After a short Ellington run, Jacksonville Jaguars defender Jason Babin emerged from the pile holding strands of the back’s dreadlocks. He held the hair aloft, then tossed it to the ground. It looked like a scene out of Braveheart or Gladiator, except the people in those movies who hold up decapitated heads usually play for a better team than the Jags."<br /><br />Always wondered about that.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1161674522693190942013-11-17T23:44:35.281-05:002013-11-17T23:44:35.281-05:00Chrome's F.....
