    As the twig is bent, so bends the bough. For the Nazis it was important to educate little children in performing the supreme gesture of submission to Adolf Hitler's "Thousand-Year Reich." German sociologist Tilman Allert cites a postmistress who chided two little girls, come to mail a letter, for greeting her with "guten tag." Instruction improving on correction, she led them outside to practice the "heil Hitler" along with the arm lift. To perfect the lift, one kindergarten teacher had the children elevate their right hands to loop their lunch bags over her raised arm. A fairy-tale illustration shows the...

    WASHINGTON, Feb. 7, 2008 – Letting servicemembers know they’re not forgotten this Valentine’s Day couldn’t be easier, thanks to a national troop-support group’s online care package program. Operation Homefront’s “eCarePackage” program allows American citizens to send care packages to servicemembers and their families. The program also is available for military families to send and receive packages. “(Servicemembers and their families) just have to register, but it’s completely secure,” said Meredith Leyva, founder of Operation Homefront. “We don’t share any private information, not even first names.” When servicemembers or their family members register, they’re assigned a number that becomes their...

    Army Sgt. Terrance Mobley is trained to be a tough guy. But he turns sentimental in a second when asked what it's like to be at war during the holidays. "When you're over there away from everyone you love and everyone who loves you, you kind of feel all alone," said Mobley, 34, a supply sergeant at Fort Huachuca, southeast of Tucson. Mobley, who has been overseas three times in recent years, remembers sitting on his bunk in Iraq and marveling at the Christmas cookies, cards and heartfelt letters he received from people back home whom he didn't even know....

    MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (Dec. 13, 2005) -- Family members of deployed Marines and sailors from Camp Pendleton were able to send a very special holiday greeting to their loved ones serving overseas Monday. WesCorp, a corporate credit union, kicked off Operation Best Wishes last weekend allowing servicemembers’ families to record a 10 minute video session which will be archived onto a website where it can be viewed an unlimited number of times. The operation is just one of several ways the credit union is reaching out to the military and giving thanks. “We consider credit union members...

    Beverly Moody poses seductively on a bed, wearing an old-fashioned slip over vintage bra and panties, a vintage telephone in hand. With the cord wrapped provocatively around her legs, the 27-year-old hairdresser smiles teasingly as photographer Lori Mann snaps away at the Pink Kitty Studios in Eagle Rock, a studio that specializes in turning out pinups like those that kept G.I. morale high in World War II. Moody's photos are meant for only one person - her boyfriend, a Navy SEAL stationed in Afghanistan. "This is our wartime," she explains. "Our generation, we're the young ones who have our husbands...

    I sense that the tide is beginning to turn against the values (or lack thereof) which left-leaning liberals have relentlessly promoted to, not to say forced down the throats of, a majority of Americans for the past half-century or so. During that time, the Left has established what can accurately be called a philosophical hegemony over the public discourse. Leftist positions on virtually every important issue have been, during the past 50 years, aggressively promoted in American colleges and universities and through the venues of popular culture, particularly films and music, and in print and television news media. And those...

    Theft and defacing of lawn signs has become a standard part of American politics. But this juvenile behavior took an ugly turn in Golden Valley in recent weeks when at least 17 families with lawn signs supporting John Kerry received hate-filled diatribes that were inserted in greeting cards. The mailings were addressed to "Doltocrat." In the envelopes, recipients found greeting cards with perky messages ranging from "Happy Rosh Hashanah" to "Get Well Soon." When the cards were opened, three pages of typewritten hate oozed out

    This year, as the Muslim Eid al Fitr holiday marking the end of Ramadan approached, a major United States greeting card company, for the first time, published Eid greeting cards.

But the Bangladeshi-American businessman, who lives in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, says, "not this year:" Mr. Ahmed says that previously during Eid he was not able to send greeting cards to his friends and relatives because he could not find Eid cards here.
