articles japanese magazines newspapers war year
I'm old enough to remember the end of World War II. On Aug. 14, 1946, a year after the Japanese were defeated, most newspapers and magazines had single articles commemorating the end of the war.
country war inspiration
In the 1880s, people all over the world looked to America for inspiration. Its very existence was proof that it was possible to have a relatively free and peaceful country. No income tax, no foreign wars, no welfare state, no intrusions on civil liberties.
war world politician
World War II has always been of great interest to me. I've known for decades that it was just one more war the politicians suckered us into.
war men years
If the Fed had a war on abortion like its war on poverty or war on drugs, within five years men would be having abortions!
war firsts truth-is
It is well known that in war, the first casualty is truth - that during any war truth is forsaken for propaganda.
war gun rights
I found that I was getting a warm reception for my message of freeing you from the income tax, releasing you from Social Security, ending the insane war on drugs, restoring gun rights, and reducing the federal government to just its constitutional functions.

Since no one but you can know what's best for you, government control can't make your life better.
You are where you are today because you have chosen to be there.
cancer rain loss
From the cranberry cancer scare of the 1950s to the Alar-in-apples hysteria of the 1980s, from the "new ice age" of the 1960s to the "global warming" of the 1990s, environmental alarms almost always turn out to be false. Few non-political scientists fear ozone loss, global warming, or acid rain. These are just issues that some people hope to use to reorder the lives of the rest of us.
