B-17s at Low Level by
WalterM140
Hi,
I am building a diorama with a 1/48th scale B-17 at low altitude. It will have
two engines turning and two shut down.

demagogue modeled on Senator Joseph McCarthy. As Roger Ebert wrote, the plan is
to "use anticommunist hysteria as...

Dog Fight For the Presidency by
WalterM140
Only in an election year ruled by fiction could a sissy who used
Daddy's connections to escape Vietnam turn an actual war hero into a
girlie-man.
As we leave the scripted conventions behind us, that is the
uber-scenario that has locked into place, brilliantly engineered by
the president of the...

Bush AWOL from the Guard -- Best Yet by
WalterM140
"President Bush claims that in the fall of 1972, he fulfilled his Air
National Guard duties at a base in Alabama. But Bob Mintz was there -
and he is sure Mr. Bush wasn't.
Plenty of other officers have said they also don't recall that Mr.
Bush ever showed up for drills at the base. What's...

US debt is higher now than during Depression by
WalterM140
The United States is shouldering a greater debt burden today than it
did during the Great Depression.
This seems a no-brainer. Everyone didn't have their hands out in the 1930's,
more people lived on farms, Johnson's Great Society was a socialist dream, etc.
The U.S. military was very small...

~ US MARINES SLAUGHTERING CIVILIANS ~ by

If U.S. Marines were really targeting civilians, or anybody else, there
wouldn't be nearly as many wounded as this laughable article suggests.
There would be a lot more dead, however.
