This has nothing to do with Eisenhower sending the National Guard to Little Rock (which was a really big deal when that happened)

...but check out the photo, and news item heading at the bottom of that image of front page New York Times Sept.25, 1957

Just think of the poor polar bears. They didn't graduate from high school to go on to college, so are stuck there without solid sheet ice to wander around upon (since 1957).

Brings a tear to the eye...

From back in 2011 (not quite as long ago as 1957, for those of you in Rio Linda who went to school but never graduated, 'cuz they bought you books, sent you to school, and what did you do? -- you ate the books)

I think the events in LR are a great history-political discussion just the same.

Obama will do what he will do but any overreaction or violence would be a bad move by either side in this country right now.

The state had to call out special security forces made up of sociopaths and thugs.

That is how a hard right POTUS annihilates the marxists and queers.

We are way beyond a political solution to the domestic communist problem and their homosexual and black shock troop.
