From 2010: Considering Hiroshima In Context with Unit 731 and the Realities of 1945

When they tell you that America saved the world in WWII, they are not exagerating. Here is a part of the war you may never have heard about before.  It is only in recent years that the story of Japan's nightmare human experiments have become public.

This was my take on it in 2010, when progressives were trying to convince us that the USA should not have used the atomic bomb or even should "pay reparations"for doing so (!). Apparently, President Obama still is clueless. Click through to read:

Doctor Zero's "A prayer from the living world"

Image
I first read this on Hot Air's "Green Room" shortly after Doctor Zero first posted it. Since then, it remains one of the best arguments against suicide that I've ever read. Doctor Zero's own blog doesn't exist any more, and the domain has been usurped by some commercial spammer.  The post in the Green Room doesn't exist any more and the link goes to something different. Finally, the archived Hot Air URL itself ends with the word "Trashed", which concerns me that the full text will someday disappear: https://hotair.com/archives/2010/02/26/a-prayer-from-the-living-world__trashed/ So I am pasting the whole text here, to archive it as permanently as I can on a freebie blog.  God bless Doctor Zero for writing it, and God bless and protect everyone whom it has helped over the past 8 years, and who it will help in the future.

Yes, Virginia, Once Upon A Time, Real Men Played Football

Via Traces of Texas, on Facebook: "Dandy" Don Meredith, quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, talks to reporters in the locker room following the famous "Ice Bowl" game against the Packers in Green Bay, Wisconsin, back in 1967. The game-time temperature at Lambeau Field was about -15 �F (-26 �C), with an average wind chill around -48 �F (-44 �C). It remains one of the most famous games in NFL history."  Yes, that is a cigarette he is smoking. And yes, that is real hair on his chest.  SportsDay writes: "[Bob] Lilly, A TCU graduate out of West Texas, unfamiliar with such brutal weather, suffered frostbitten fingers on his left hand in that game. His three mates on the defensive line that anchored Tom Landry's effective but quirky "Flex Defense" all suffered frostbite as well.  ... "They might have worn gloves but Lilly recalled that old-school defensive coordinator Ernie  Stautner admonished that such a luxury was for "sissies" ...

70 Years of Gallup Polls: Americans Still Christian, Still Attend Church As Much As They Did In The 40s and 50s

Image
Here is a good example of how the media is influencing what we think, without us even realizing it. All over the net, ministry-consultant websites quote the common belief that "church attendance is down" and "America is post-Christian".  Yet, study after study shows that Americans overall are still faithful to Jesus Christ, and still believe their religion is most important to their lives. Gallup results in 2013 : " Americans are no less likely to report having attended church in the past seven days today than they were in 1940 and 1950 -- albeit with many fluctuations since that time, including higher reports in the mid-1950s to the early 1960s. Americans' self-reports of the importance of religion are also no lower than at points in previous decades. " The Pew Research Center has not been tracking this long enough to be able to make wise comparisons with our fathers' and grandfathers' generations, but the Pew survey in 2014 mirrors Gallup...
