History Repeats Itself

Further down this post is an excerpt from an article that I read today.

But on a lighter note, Big R and Lil N are getting hitched this weekend. I talked to Big R last night and he still apparently wants to do it. And Lil N does too. Interesting.

You know I'm just teasing you two. I'm thrilled and happy for the both of you. I wish you a long and happy and fruitful marriage. I also heard that the town you two are living in is a nice place to raise a family. That's the rumor anyway.

It's gonna be a good time, and I hope that Annie likes driving, because she's gonna have to be the designated driver. Sorry Bean. But you're a real sport for taking one for the team. Thanks a TON in advance.

Dr. Toes (i.e. Chief Pounds on Toes) is getting settled in Oregon. They got all of the stuff moved in and he's busy getting his things in order again. I'm sure that Mars and the Big Penis (I mean Venus) are loving the snow and cold weather again.



And to end this post:

I got this from a article from www.omegaletter.com.

It's called "The 'Peacemakers'" by Deborah T Bucknam

"On March 12, 1975, Democrat Rep. (now Senator and Presidential candidate) Chris Dodd from Connecticut stated on the floor of the U.S. House: “The greatest gift our country can give the Cambodian people is not guns but peace. And the best way to accomplish that goal is by ending military aid now.” The American Congress cut off all military aid to Cambodia and South Vietnam.

This is what happened one month and five days later as a result of Chris Dodd’s and other Democrats’ “gift of peace”:

On April 17th, 1975 the Khmer Rouge, a communist guerrilla group led by Pol Pot, took power in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. They forced all city dwellers into the countryside and to labor camps. During their rule, it is estimated that 2 million Cambodians died by starvation, torture or execution. 2 million Cambodians represented approximately 30% of the Cambodian population during that time"

Anybody see a resemblance to today if we are to pull out of Iraq now? Hmmmmm.

Keep on keepin' on.
