History

 

How It All Began
Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic Hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer & would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in winter.

The 2 most important events in all of history were the invention of Beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer..

These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into 2 distinct subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives

Once beer was discovered it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed. Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer.

This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement. Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy and group hugs and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass. Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting revolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn’t fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumber jacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, Marines, athletes and generally anyone who works productively.

Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the Liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tame and created a business of trying to get MORE for nothing.

Here ends today’s lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to respond to the above before simply laughing and forwarding it. A Conservative will be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately.

Happy Birthday US Marine Corps

 

The Man that is more refined than I has a great tribute to the Marine Corps.

Major Pain Has the Commandant of the Marine Corps birthday message

Now today Marines have become a household name in many countries throughout the world.

And although they may get into fraternal scrapes, Marines love each other unashamedly. The greatest fear that every Marine lives with is that he may let down his brother Marines.

Semper Fidelis and Keep Attacking!

Ogre tells us about the Opening of the Marine Corps Museum

I tried to get in, but either I didn’t have enough connections or I didn’t have enough cash. Either way, I can’t get in.

Eric has a Tribute and a few thoughts about today.

… this is always a strange week for me… with the Birthday of the Corps and Veteran’s Day… every year I get blasted with the double-barrel of military service… an overwhelming pride and true sadness at the same time…. this year is no different…

My mom sent me this in an email

Subject: U. S. Marine
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, “God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15 minutes.” The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the  professor proclaimed, “Here I am God. I’m still waiting.” It got down to the last couple of minute’s when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, “What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that?”
The Marine calmly replied, “God was too busy today protecting America’s soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an ass…. So, He sent me.”

  One of the Best Quotes about the Marines

“The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!”  Eleanor Roosevelt

Lets not forget the Marine Corps also has had is share of Shit Birds

Rubber Stamps For John Murtha

If Robert Byrd is the “Big Daddy” of the United States Senate, John Murtha might be looking to claim similar status in the lower house of Congress. (Murtha is also a conservative, Ray, not a moderate.) How so? Let me explain.

But happy birthday to all Marines and Marine Families

I say Happy Birthday to all Marines out there. there is nothing better to be a part of the brotherhood of Marines. I finished reading the book Warlord No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy last week and the statements ring true.

For all the bad in the world there is a US Marine Corps to protect America.

Happy Birthday
