We've been subjected to an unending barrage
of stories from the left that amounts to media corruption, collusion, hysteria,
and in my opinion, treason. All in an attempt destroy a President of the
United States and the economy. The ultimate goal is the leftist's
desire to destroy the American culture, the American identity, and overturn the
Constitution, which I think today's posts are reflective of that reality.
We're left with a huge segment of society that's filled
with snowflakes who after 12 years of public education are virtually ignorant
of American history, except the vile lies perpetrated by Howard Zinn. As
for world history, they're even more clueless. Is it any wonder they're
been so easily manipulated by the leftist media. As for those with higher levels of education, they're just as bad.
We need to start seeing life in perspective, and begin to define everything clearly. Then we can start to question everything intelligently, with courage and strength.
Over the weekend I traveled to Columbus with a friend, and as usual we fixed all the world's troubles, and a lot of history. I've always thought Field Marshall Montgomery was an idiot and that lead to Operation Market Garden, so I recommended he watch the movie A Bridge Too Far!
Here's the link to the overture
, which I find inspiring!
I think is one of the better WWII movies, and the music played a big role in making this a memorable movie. I watched it last night and I've been playing that overture all morning as I've been getting today's post together. As is said, I find it inspiring.
But to the point. I received an
e-mail from one of the members of the e-mail group I've been privileged to be a
part of that I also thought was an excellent piece on persepective and history. I don't know who originated this piece but as I said, I think it's also
inspiring, so I'm sharing it with all of you.

Life in Perspective
Maybe we don't have it that bad? Excellent perspective for anyone born in 1900..... It’s a mess out there now. Hard to discern between what’s a real threat and what is just simple panic and hysteria. For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900.
On your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy.
When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet. And don’t try to catch your breath. On your 41st birthday, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war.
Smallpox was epidemic until you were in your 40’s, as it killed 300 million people during your lifetime.
At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish. From your birth, until you are 55 you dealt with the fear of Polio epidemics each summer. You experience friends and family contracting polio and being paralyzed and/or die.
At 55 the Vietnam War begins and doesn’t end for 20 years. 4 million people perish in that conflict. During the Cold War, you lived each day with the fear of nuclear annihilation. On your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, almost ended. When you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends.
Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How did they endure all of that? When you were a kid in 1985 and didn’t think your 85-year-old grandparent understood how hard school was. And how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing art. Refined and enlightening as time goes on. Let’s try and keep things in perspective. Your parents and/or grandparents were called to endure all of the above – you are called to stay home and sit on your couch.
Best wishes to all, especially the person who originated this.
