Howdy Friends Folks Compatriots
Okie Dokie you all know by now that I usually only run my mouth politically when somethings needs to be stated!
This is my thoughts on Senator McCain! I am stating that although 45 can be called many things a PATRIOT is not one of those adjectives!! THANK YOU SENATOR MCCAIN FOR YOUR MERITORIOUS SERVICE!
Any individual that has never served one second in standing up for the UNITED STATES and our principals should just keep their mouth SHUT about any man or woman who has stood up to protect his fat rich ass!! Bone spurs my ass.Bonehead would be closer to the truth!
I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.
John F. Kennedy
Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.
George Washington
Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
Mark Twain
Patriotism to your country is something that comes from your heart. It should be taught to you by your parents.
Jesse Ventura
Thank you Jeff Flake for standing up for your values and the United States of America and for your conscious thoughts on America's well being as a country that does not need to be made GREAT AGAIN! It has never stopped being Great but there is a pitch man that is trying to kill the greatness of this nation by the ill spoken attacks on everyone that is not of his king like governance!
Workin' in the field till you get your back burned
Workin' `neath the wheels till you get your facts learned.
Baby i got my facts learned real good right now.
You better get it straight darling:
Poor men wanna be rich, rich men wanna be kings,
And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything.
"Badlands"

Next Post is about the opium crisis here is primer;
No, this wasn’t a DEA raid of a major meth operation, or an Interpol investigation into international drug smuggling. It was the year 1839 and the Chinese government was cracking down on British importation of opium. The drug issue was a powder keg that led to a series of wars between the two countries over the course of more than 20 years and changed both nations for generations.
To the British, the Chinese crackdown was a matter of business. It was a perceived trade imbalance on the British end due to Chinese officials requiring silver in trade for their goods, most notably tea, that led the British to realize that opium could tip the scales in their favor.
The British government, initially through its East India Company, had tried trading everything from woolens to scientific instruments to pottery, but the Chinese only cared about precious metals.
But when they realized opium was becoming more and more in demand in China the British knew it was their ticket in. Opium was not widely produced in China, but was grown extensively in India, where the British had taken control of production. By the 19th century, poppy cultivation and opium production had been firmly established in India, mainly in Bengal and Bihar. It was a major part of India’s agricultural market with tens of thousands employed in the far reaching, and lucrative, business.
