Nazi Prison Guard Prosecuted -- Ballsy Kucinich

















Congressman Dennis Kucinich

Cross Posted at http://thefuturewasyesterday.blogspot.com/2009/11/is-it-never-too-late-is-there-still.html

89 year old war crimes prison guard finally brought to trial. Accused of murdering 27,000 Jews of 250,000 in camp in 1943..

Question: will Bush and Cheney ever be brought to trial for their war crimes? Will anyone ever have the balls to prosecute ?

Will there be another Congressman Dennis Kucinich? He has had the guts to repeatedly try to get Bush and Cheney impeached.

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to you. I'm grateful for another one clean and sober.

I'm belated too. We're having our Thanksgiving tomorrow because it was the only time both boys could make it. Jim is stationed with the Guard in LA and Tim will probably be moving there soon since that's where Juan's work is. Jim tells me he'll probably be headed for Afghanistan around July.

"Subversive" - me too. If I stay out of trouble until December 26, I'll have 30 years.

Take care, everybody.

If I weren't so fond of my TX friends, I would have suggested he not let the door hit his ass on the way out.

I know most of you are sane but why does he remain so popular?

Not that TX has the market cornered of course. We have our own share of freaks right in sunny CA.

Yellowdog Granny: Amen! Be so glad to be rid of him. Just hope his replacement isn't equally bad.

Granny Ann: It's a mystery to me. Everybody you talk to swears they didn't vote for him but SOMEBODY voted that dork into office!!

Why not? Though the real fireworks will come when Senator 'Helmet Hair' meets Perry in the Republican primary. I'm going to sell tickets...now that I'm, once again, a resident of the state of my upbringing.

Hey, Kvatch

If enough of you move back, possibly you can restore the state to sanity.

Yep and we were dumb enough to vote for the governator - twice. I don't generally approve of term limits but in our case I was grateful.

Murdered Soldiers - and a WWI Survivor.



Re: the murdered at Fort Hood, Texas.

Yellowdog Granny at: http://yellowdoggrannie.blogspot.com has posted a thumbnail bio on each of the victims where they come alive to us as people instead of just names. Read her post at the above address, scroll down to the following post:

GODDESS BLESS YOU ONE AND ALL"



and take the opportunity to wish her a happy 66th birthday for November 11th.

..................................................................................................................
A World War I Survivor... passed away in 1992 at age 93. My Father.
(Photo taken from my daughter's family album. This is my father: J.L.W. - WWI - US Army - Wagoneer. He suffered a knee injury when firing a Knee Mortar, an obsolete weapon now.)

November 11th was also my father's birthday. During WWI he and other soldiers were in a field near camp digging some thing when they heard shouting, gunfire and a huge hullaballoo. The camp had just received word of the Armistice --the war was over. One of his comrades wondered aloud what was going on. My father casually joked, "I guess they're celebrating my birthday".
The grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren get quite a laugh about the uniform but we tell them it is the man inside that matters, not military fashion of the day. The only physical injuries he suffered was the knee injury but he was plagued by horrific memories for many years. All wars are terrible.

It was good of Yellowdog Granny to post all those bios. The memorial service was really moving.

I'm glad you posted this about Grandpa. I used to laugh at his uniform but I don't any more. I love and respect the man inside that uniform. He was a hell of a man!

Honor our Veterans. Remember Those We Have Lost.

"A country needs to be reminded that warriors have died, and that Memorial Day and Veterans' Day are not just days for picnics at the beach."

Tribute to Our Vets from Revolutionary War to Present



..............................................
Like a Rock



..................................

Ten years, twenty years, fifty years, a hundred years - it doesn't matter. Time and the march of our warriors stretch back and back into the mists of time. Every generation has its heroes, hard bodied, beautiful, strong young bodies going to war and as they age, they recall their youthful years. We see some in their 80s and 90s, frail, white haired, but looking past the ravages of time we see them as they once were, "arrow straight, bearing the weight" of the duties and responsibilities thrust upon them. We owe them. Our nation owes them. We owe them debts that can never be paid. The very least we can do is honor them and remember them and thank them.
