"Parachute infantry uniforms  Including advice for the collector.

"This page offers examples of unquestionably original uniforms acquired directly from vets or their families BEFORE the insane prices started-up. My purpose in posting these is to inform collectors of what real stuff looks like (see also Insignia, Equipment, and Souvenirs pages), not to gloat about what I've got." Mark Bando.

JOSH DUGGAR: Hideous Hypocrite Or Broken Dude Trying To Do What’s Right?

 Doug Giles   . . . "I will tell you, however, that there is someone out there who is McLovin’ on The Duggars right now.  Her name?  Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"Why do I think the old Hildebeest be diggin’ on the Duggar debacle? Well, it’s principally because it’s keeping the coverage off her abysmally unattended stump speeches, her intergalactic horse-scat and the disgustingly dirty Clinton Cash.  Which, by the way, will have more massive long-term, detrimental ramifications for our nation, if she’s elected, then any demonic thing that Duggar dude ever did. Please tell that to Good Morning America. And that’s not diminishing anything Josh did to his kid sisters, mind you.

"Yep, I guarantee Hillary is in some underground lair donned in a Dr. Evil nehru suit, maniacally laughing her haggard backside off that the limelight is on Josh instead of her dirty deeds done on our dime.

"Matter of fact, I wouldn’t doubt if her cabal had that police chief yield up the sealed Duggar intel to InTouch because it was in Little Rock, y’know?  I wonder if that police chief has any connections to The Clintons? Any campaign contributions? Anysoirees over lemonade and sweet potato pie? Now, that would be worth poking around a bit, wouldn’t it? Maybe Peter Schweitzer’s team could take a little “look see” as they say in Arkansas? But that’s enough of my right-wing conspiracy theories." . . .

Hillary Accuses GOP of Racism Because She Has No “Many Other Options”

S. Noble

". . . Hillary doesn’t have options except to attack Republicans. She can’t run on her record when even she can’t think of one thing she has accomplished other than the generic “making the world a better place.”

She claims we need 20 more days of early voting and, Kasich is right, we don’t have it here in New York. Early voting allows for more corruption of the vote.

Hillary wants automatic registration for all Americans and claims it is a way to stop the racist GOP.

She wants 18 year olds automatically registered with an opt-out clause. She is hoping the starry-eyed young will vote for the Utopian though ineffective ideologues in the Democratic Party.

She wants automatic voter registration for all. That is a way to corrupt the vote because all those people who don’t vote will have their votes available for those who would steal the vote.

On Long Island, we have the socialists and communists in the SEIU servicing the machines. One BOE official told me that at the end of election day, they all run to the back and “do something with the machines.” Votes miraculously appear after these union workers happen to find them.

“What is happening is a sweeping effort to disempower and disenfranchise people of color, poor people and young people from one end of our country to the other,” Hillary said during a speech at Texas Southern University in Houston.

She accused all Republicans of suppressing the minority vote by trying to institute photo ID laws for voting.

We need photo IDs for everything, even to take out a library book. Don’t minorities have driver’s licenses and other forms of photo ID? Is this so anathema and so bizarre a request or is it another means of corrupting the vote?

. . .

The racism lie worked for Barack Obama but in Hillary’s case she might find that it leaves her more vulnerable to attacks. It’s such a vile attack that it leaves the opposition free to go after her."
 

Pack your bags, we’re going on a “white guilt” trip!

Jeff Petermann   " A pendulum, when set in motion will swing from one extreme to another. Such is the case in the interesting journey from the African-American civil rights movement, to where we are in the middle of the age of white guilt. Below I will discuss four reasons white males do not need to feel this burden that is placed on them by the main stream media and from black Americans who have never once been to Africa, or ever been a slave to anyone or anything, (except maybe the hate and distrust for whites that has been passed down through multiple generations)."

1. Only 1.6% of the US population at the height of slavery owned slaves. This is 1.6 % too many, but it is also not the vast majority as our media, and in some cases our children’s social studies books are making it out to be.
2. There is racism flowing freely from white, blacks Asian and Hispanics. ALL of it is wrong, and all of it should be condemned…due to the media’s portrayal of the evil white, successful business owner, white males are now looked at as “the perpetrator” of racism, even though, in some cases they are the ones now at an incredible disadvantage.
3. White Americans feeling guilt for what ancestors may have done in previous generations, or for what people in their race may even talk about behind closed doors today, is the antonym of progress and, in the end, will halt the universal equality that black Americans are ultimately looking for.
4. The demonizing of the white race now, will lead to closet and openly accepted racist discrimination in the future. Racism is born from ignorance about perceived differences. As Caucasian males become the minority amongst males in the US, it will be very easy for those who crave success to look back at recent history and take on the negative stereotype the main stream media has put forth as reality about the greedy white CEO and make it their own.
