In Flanders Fields
John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead.
Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Beneath each pointy hood of virtue signaling, lies a democrat that spits on U.S. soldiers and calls all U.S. soldiers baby killers.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

The Republican Party is breaking the faith with those who sacrificed soooo much
They work with Russians
And trash Gold Star Families for political gain
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
Don’t divide the nation with lies given you by the enemies of America
Don’t lie these heros into defending our nation unnecessarily
The Republican Party did that in Iraq

Great poem, Phantasmal. Love it.
Sorry this thing went south so quickly, but for some people...causing that is their reason for being.
I just came back from the Memorial Day parade in our town. Not a big town...not a huge parade, but of decent size. The politicians were all there. I served on several commissions with the Mayor...he stopped to acknowledge my wife and me.
Our state senator was in the parade. I had worked with him on several occasions. He also stopped to acknowledge us.
Loved watching the kids hurry for the candy being thrown.
ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!
