K S KNOWS WHO IS A WINTER SOLDIER

Winter Soldier
By Karl Schwarz

One of the problems Americans have is that most do not have a clue about American history, or the real history of any other place on Earth. That is a problem because if a people do not know their own history they are truly a lost culture, a lost society, a nation adrift without a clue who they are or where they are going.
I have said it many times: America is 300,000,000 million opinions and not a single cohesive plan in sight. I often think that America has the exact leadership it deserves. The electorate is just as guilty as the con artists in DC because Americans just keep electing and re-electing Mr. Shithead and Ms Shitforbrains over and over again. It is almost like Americans like to band together at the coffee roundtables and stitch-n-b*tch sessions to discuss the folly of their decisions without admitting that they really screwed up big time.
Americans have an absolutely terminal disease of electing morons, liars and thieves...and then cannot understand what went wrong. Maybe they do understand their folly but are too proud to admit it.
As an historical example, who was Thomas Paine? Most Americans cannot answer that question and if asked for specific details they are really stumped. Thomas Paine was an Englishman who moved to America and within months found himself writing passionately about the Revolutionary War. He took one look at what America was and began to see what it could become. He may have been the fastest convert from being a Crown subject Englishman to an American, ever.
His first 'Crisis Paper' was issued on December 19, 1776 shortly after the Declaration of Independence and the start of the Revolutionary War.  From the following  statement in the introduction of that paper, the term 'Winter Soldier' was born.
"These are the times that try men's souls."
A Winter Soldier is the one who will stand on the front lines for their nation in the most dire and desperate of times. Unlike the cowards, the uneducated commentators, the arm chair quarterbacks, the Winter Soldiers will stand on the most desolate front lines one can imagine while others sit on their asses and do nothing but be spectators or commentators wasting the precious time of others.
Thomas Paine was not highly-educated like Thomas Jefferson. He was, in fact, a very common, not very well-educated man but he had the ability to write as he saw things... passionately. He could articulate in written word like few others of his time and convey it to the common people. The following was written during a bitter winter...

Actually, what President Ahmadinejad said is exactly what needs to happen regarding separate states for Israel and Palestine. They keep spreading the lie that he said he wanted Israel nuked off the map. He NEVER said that. What he was referring to was that the 'Greater Israel' POLITICAL plan was a failure (quote: 'must be erased from the pages of time.') just as Bush and his Global War on Terror is a complete failure.

If I do not see improvements soon, my next piece will address who to vote for other than any RNC or DNC candidate. Enough is truly enough.  Oh, and getting 'briefed' by Henry the K is not going to help you win friends and influence people.  Governor, that photo op did not do you any good.  Trust me.
As Bush, Paulson, Bernanke and others from both sides of the aisle mouth off about how "we must restore confidence in the markets" note that they mention not one word that the real problem is Americans' position of no confidence in our government. The government in DC proves every hour of every day that it is unworthy of trust or confidence.
Americans are now the subjects of tyranny. People need to learn to vote on the basis of their freedom, liberty and what is best for America.  Until they do, the USS Titanic is headed straight DOWN.
