The Old Jarhead: Some important items--some entertainment

Though I'm still tired and weak a lot, I continue to try to progress in Physical Therapy. I have upped the speed for my 30 minutes on the treadmill to 2.8 MPH and have increased the weight for my 50 reps on the upright row to 65 lbs. The 50 reps on the other three weight machines remain as they have been. I'm doing more exercise now than at anytime since my three months at Parris Island, which started 51 years ago this month. ~Bob

Must Read: History's Complexity Should Discourage Retroactive Morality. By Victor Davis Hanson

http://townhall.com/columnists/victordavishanson/2015/08/06/historys-complexity-should-discourage-retroactive-morality-n2035176

This is a badly needed call to reason, and for resistance to the latest PC fanaticism that raises blind intolerance to the level of religious zealotry. The mindless drive to tear down past figures for behavior that was hardly unusual for their time and place, the demand for perfection by today's highest standards, on the part of those who lived in different worlds, is not just incredibly stupid, but also ultimately damaging to society. --Del

Op-Ed: The Obama Way Has Failed. Hillary is more of the same. Her term as secretary of state is an unmitigated disaster.

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/17351#.VcUkAPlViko

This article does the best job on Obama and Hillary I've seen in a while. Too bad it will have no effect on anyone on the Left, and not enough people who should see it will. --Del

Police warn of No-Go Zones in Germany

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/08/police-warn-of-no-go-zones-in-germany

We've heard a lot about the no-go zone in France, but now even in Germany, where I really thought the government was not as stupid as the French, seems to have allowed things to get way out of control. There is a growth in Right Wing parties in Germany, as in the UK and Holland, for the same reasons, people have been watching the crap get worse and worse for over ten years and they are now getting really fed up and angry about it. As I would be too if I were seeing any such crap going on here. But are we already seen little bits of it here, the neighborhoods near Detroit that Arabs have taken over, or the Somalis in Minnesota? --Del
