Mike... Great history stuff... Have always thought the song should be "God Forgive Amerika", but then it doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nicely. The completely un-necessary fire-bombing of Dresden (like the un-necessary nuking of two Japanese cities) helped insure the present non-Pax Americana. I don't know that planet Earth can survive more "peace" making by our 5 Ayes Psychopathy.

Kurt Vonnegut was on the ground as a POW in Dresden and his experiences gave birth to brilliance - miss him all of the time.

I sat down to write about Jame's fear mongering post and the spirit completely moved me to write about God Bess America. What is up with that? Maybe tomorrow, or next week. He wants to rat out all fear mongers. Could be me. It kind of fits everyone on both sides. I think he nailed it. Damn I wish I would have thought of it. My comment to his post was, God? The book of Revelation?

I sometime think that God is on an extended coffee break. We shall see...

I'm still trying to purchase a computer keyboard with a "Smite" button on it...

He was a great man - wonderful sense of humor until the end... He is probably still laughing at us all from the great beyond.

I have acoustic dyslexia, so everytime someone says God, I hear Dog.

I had a childhood friend who had the same. My mothers name is Lisbeth and he heard it always as Blistoj. He was very creative and fun to be around.

Not everyone. "The War of the Words/Worlds" was an experiment.

The research conducted afterward found that persons who were educated widely didn't "believe" it.

The movie Dumb and Dumber was released just 8 years after the 1986 amendment..."The Act", conferring "god like" immunity on the pharms for finding jesus in vaxxines...to the PREP "act".

"We will act and you will study our actions....judiciously, as you will, ...and while you do, we will act again."

Actually my mother did survive the bombing of Dresden. That is a fact. She was born there and told me she was in a her basement, she was afraid of thunderstorms when she came to Virginia for life. She saw her friend on the street burned to a crisp. and those people make me sick ... the "so called" global elite who are holding hands about the deaths of 75 years ago. I read Slaughterhouse 5 and own Kurt Vonnegut's book signed by him. nuff said on that post.. too close to home for me.

Wow, that’s amazing. After Dresden God would never bless America. No way. But we can go back farther in our history for more proof. Thanks Isabella.
