Let them come. Might as well do all the laundry at once...even if it takes several loads.

I've been ready for it since Jarbidge, Jeff. Remember the Finnish Winter War motto.

The Finns, faced the inevitable Russian Armageddon with a grim optimism that must be alien to anyone who has not themselves lived through a desperate land war for their motherland. Of the upcoming casualties, they asked, "There are so many of them, and our country so small. Where will we find room to bury them all?" Anticipating the harsh winter, they spent much of the autumn of 1939 destroying bridges, roads, houses and barns that had taken a generation to build so the Russians would have no shelter during their march. Indeed, while much is made of Russia's love for the scorched earth policy, it appears the scrappy Finns had a few things to teach them.

Happily for us, our country is large. Again, my FRiend, bring your shovel.

The man who adopted my dad fought the Communist Russians in Finland as a teenager, came to the US with his relatives at the end of WWII joined the US Army and fought communist Koreans and Chinese in Korea, got out of the Army and joined the Air Force then found himself facing Communist Russians again in Turkey.

Since I've become an adult I've talked to him a little about his experiences, he doesn't say a whole lot about them. I don't think you could find anyone who hates communists more than he does.

He warned me that I would face them in my lifetime, and probably on US soil. I always though he was wrong, American leftist don't like getting their hands dirty, they might support what some brutish thug espousing communist drivel in another country was doing, but to do so themselves would require actual work. I was shocked when I turned on the TV to see hundreds of thousands of brutish thugs espousing the literature of the communist international inside the United States.

The Leftists now have an army inside our borders. They stick together at all costs, and use language as a mask. Just like every army of thugs before them they know only what their leaders say, and they are told they are superior, the land belongs to them, the evil capitalist must be destroyed, the jews conspire against them, it's all been heard before.

My grandfather is right, I was wrong. We may choose any path forward but dark days are ahead no matter our decision. Amnesty is foolish as it will only swell their ranks.

I'll close with something else my grandfatehr told me. Keep your faith, keep your courage, and keep your head and you will survive.
