Seems Google is paying homage to the "great" Walter Cronkite's birthday. Father of the mainstream liberal media. Must be pining for the days before the internet and alternate media exposed the press for what they were; completely in the tank for dems as they are right down to today.
Before that nasty Internet !
I saw that- they are expressing their solidarity with the hoaxing media.
Google is a monopoly that needs anti-trust attention....
I’m sure the oppressed, miserable people of Vietnam “ pine” for him also.
At least, Google will be forced to ditch Eric Schmidt.
Somebody needs to dig up old Walter “Commiekite” and pound a wooden stake through where his heart would be if he was a man.
When one guy in front of a camera could destroy a President and sabotage a war?
Here's his 1999 Speech to the UN accepting the Norman Cousins GLobal Governance Award
If you don't have the stomach to read the whole thing, here is the key quote:
“It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace.
To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order.
But the American colonies did it once and brought forth one of the most nearly perfect unions the world has ever seen."
Dude stopped having birthdays when he died.
Winter is almost upon us.
One more opportunity to throw the UN into the East River during a blizzard.
Let’s not let it slip us by another year.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Well, before “Presidents Day”, Washington and Lincoln had birthdays after their deaths.
But Uncle Walter, the colonies freed themselves from a tyrannical government; they didn’t voluntarily enslave themselves to one. ESAD, Walt. (Too late but the thought’s still there.)
“It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace.” …What a disgusting liar Cronkite was; I have to say that despite putting myself at risk of violating the principle of de mortuis nil nisi bonum. The truth:
How do you account for the fact that the United Nations Charter follows the format of the Russian (USSR) Constitution of 1936 rather than the format of the (Covenant of the) League of Nations? Would you feel there was any significance in the fact that the general secretary for the organization which drew up the charter was Alger Hiss? …It was patterned after Stalin’s government.
— The Naked Communist, Chapter 8
And here's another one...
"So and so dies at 86."
Really? The word 'dies' is a verb. A dead person is not properly capable of a verb.
It should be "So and so is dead at 86."
Just sayin'.
and Dan (fake but accurate) Rather.
The anniversary of one’s birth is a birthday, of course.
A dead person is still capable of a verb only while still alive. On the day of one’s death, the present tense form of the verb is the only time one is capable of it. But I see your point; perhaps the only proper way to express the event of death on the day of one’s death is the present indicative perfect tense (“have/has died”).
I remember my grandfather used to watch Cronkite.
I remember when he got his first color set.
I was about six or seven.
I played with all the knobs, and at 6:30 that
evening Cronkite appeared with a purple face.
