We shall never surrender


“You ask, What is our policy?  I will say; ‘It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.’

You ask, What is our aim?  I can answer with one word: Victory— victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.”

- Winston Churchill


I wish I knew what my President's policies were.  If I did, I might be able to understand why he released five of the world's worst mass-murderers from a Cuban prison that was under our control.  I might also be able to understand why he allowed a highly-classified unmanned aircraft to land safely in Iran in December 2011.  I might be able to understand why he has added more debt to the United States Treasury than all of our previous presidents combined.  I might be able to understand why he has so little respect for our system of government that he has tried to change our laws without the necessary Congressional votes to change those laws.

[Note: Every one of the more than 30 changes that he claims to have made to the health care law, including the delays in the application deadlines and the exemptions given to certain American businesses, is therefore null and void.]

I might be able to understand why he has shown so much enthusiasm for trying to control the lives of the average American and his family through the use of literally thousands of regulations from agencies including the Interior Department (which includes the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), the Environmental Protection Agency, the Treasury Department (which includes the Internal Revenue Service) and the Justice Department (which sent large numbers of arms to Mexican drug gangs and which has steadfastly refused to defend our southern border against the continued invasion of armed and sometimes disease-carrying Mexicans).

If I could know what Barak Obama's highest personal policies were, I might even be able to understand why he has risked the lives of so many of our uniformed military serving in Afghanistan and other places by giving them highly restrictive Rules of Engagement.  These rules prevent them, in many, many cases, from shooting at people who are shooting at them.  In addition, he has given our fighting forces inadequate training and ammunition.  Further, he has demoralized them by forcing them to accept people in the ranks who are unsuited for the requirements of military life.

Even further, he has taken away the sacred relationship between uniformed servicemen and the military chaplains.

Sometimes, a chaplain is the last person to speak with a soldier before he dies of injuries that he received on a battlefield.

That soldier, in his last moments of life on this earth, desperately needs the spiritual comfort that a chaplain can give him.

  I shall never surrender

“We shall not flag or fail.  We shall go on to the end.

V stands for Victory
an unknown concept to my president
We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be.

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

-Winston Churchill

I know one thing for sure.

Barak Obama is a Muslim.

This explains why he has been so sympathetic towards violent Muslims.
Interview with George Stephanopoulis
September 7, 2008

But it does not explain his utter contempt for the highest law in my country, the United States Constitution, which gives him (and Congress) limited powers and gives all the other power to the states and to the American people (look up the tenth amendment).


I will never give in

“Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.  Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
 
- Winston Churchill, whose attitude helped his nation  (and mine) win a war against a violent enemy


Barak Hussein Obama, you are an emeny of my country

Because you have fought against the best interests of my country for as long as you have been President, I will fight you.

I will fight you in my home state of Massachusetts.  If you attempt to close national parks, as you did last year, I will go to Washington, D.C. and fight you and your un-American policies there.

I will fight you on the seas and the oceans.  I will fight you with growing confidence and strength on this blog and on conservative talk radio.  I will defend my right to speak and write political thoughts, whatever the cost may be.

I will fight on the beaches, I will fight on the landing grounds, I will fight in the fields and in the streets.  I will fight in the hills.  I will never give up.

My 24-hour international audience

Introduction

Ever since I published an essay called Trojan horse legislation on my "Conserving the Nation" blog, I have seen a dramatic increase in the number of international visitors to that blog.

More than a week after the essay was published, there is still an extremely large audience for that essay, and I am extremely grateful for all the people all over the world who have read it.  I have seen more than 100 people per day reading that blog every day for weeks!

As a blog author, I have access to the names of the countries that have read one or more of my blog essays over various time periods.
  1. two hours

  2. 24 hours (one day)

  3. one week

  4. one month

  5. since the blog was begun
However, even I cannot see more than ten countries on any list that covers a specific time period.  This is part of the reason why I have recorded the names of the countries that have visited my "Conserving the Nation" blog during the past hours and days.

In an effort to document, for the benefit of my readers, the immense additional international readership, and in order to try to maintain the accuracy of the Readership Statistics page for that blog, I updated that page yesterday with the international readership over the previous 24 hours and the previous two hours.

The international readership of that blog has continued, approximately twelve hours later.  The number of readers per hour has gone down, but the number of countries that have seen one of the essays on that blog is still going up, so I have decided to create this page.  There is only one reason for it.  I want to document the international readers.

All these visitors will be added to my list of international readers when I update that page.

Starting approximately 8pm December 17, 2015, my "Water Economics" essay, which had over 600 readers per day for almost two months is now being read by even more people, so I am using this page to document it, just as I did then.

Thank you, Anheuser-Busch


Thank you twice.


This television commercial, sponsored by the Anheuser-Busch company, aired only one time, immediately after the mass-murder on September 11, 2001.




This video honors the men and women who honor our country by protecting it in any one of several military uniforms in any one of several very dangerous parts of the world, sometimes at the cost of their lives and always at the cost of the time they could be spending with their families, friends, and better-paying jobs.






I, David A. Cain, pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

and to the republic for which it stands.

One nation under God.

Indivisible.

With liberty and justice for all.

Remembering four murdered Americans


The first captioned photo was copied from a Twitter message posted by @MarcHaig on January 25th.  All the other photos were found on the internet.




Doctor Frankenstein must still be working in his laboratory somewhere, unnoticed by the Food and Drug Administration.

The last time he was seen,

he created this.


I hope somebody can find him and stop him before he creates any more monsters.

Because there are four dead Americans, including an Ambassador, who paid with their lives for the actions taken by this monster named Hillary.

Both of these photos show Ambassador Stevens.



The killers, guilty of negligent homicide.



All four of these Americans were killed by the negligence of Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton.


You will not be forgotten.  You have my word.


Barak Obama, President during Benghazi, and Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State during Benghazi (and Ambassador Steven's boss), will also not be forgotten.

You have my word on that, too.

The positive message in the television show introduction


The television show is Little House on the Prairie.  Original episodes ran from 1974-1983.  The linked website describes the show as "The life and adventures of the Ingalls family in the 19th century American West."  There was a real Ingalls family in the 19th century American West, and one of the daughters, named Laura Ingalls, wrote books about her family after she had married a man named Almanzo Wilder.  This is a link to her biography on the Biography website.  This is a link to her biography on the Little House website.  This is a link to her books on Amazon.

This video shows the introduction to one episode of the show.  You will see all five members of the Ingalls family and the names of the actors who play them.

Starting at 23 seconds, watch the three children run down a hill.

The youngest child is the last one to go down the hill.

Watch her:
  1. fall down

  2. get back up

  3. keep walking

The person who was holding the camera when the children ran down the hill could have put the camera down when he saw the youngest child fall down, but he did not do that.

I think that he (or she) knew that most young children have the ability to pick themselves up when they fall.

I also think that he (or she) had met all of the young actresses who had been hired to play the Ingalls children and that all of them, even the youngest, had demonstrated a minimum amount of physical skill when walking on a variety of surfaces, including the small hills in the area where the television show was filmed.

As a result of the cameraman's decision to let the youngest child fall and pick herself up so that she could keep walking, every episode of the show taught a whole generation of Americans that they, too, could fall down, pick themselves up, and keep walking without anyone's help.

I'm proud of that cameraman.

This is a link to the nominations and the awards that this television show received.  The nominations include a Golden Globe nomination for the Best TV Series in the drama category.  The awards include two consecutive People's Choice awards for Favorite Television Dramatic Program in 1978 and 1979.


Political correctness produces historical inaccuracy

This section was added June 25, 2018.

Part of the American Library Association has become a historically inaccurate association because they are now a politically correct association.  In every country, some of the actions taken by historical figures becomes embarassing to the current generation.  Many people want to preserve history so that other people, especially young people, can learn from it.

Erasing history in 2017

Watch a mob of people, without any authority from their town government, destroy a statue in a public park.

The fact that they don't have any authority to do this makes it a lawless act by a mob, equivalent to the very actions that they accuse Confederate soldiers of committing.

Watch the mob act just like a mob after the statue comes down.  Some people will celebrate the destruction of town property by jumping up and down on it, kicking it, and waving their arms in the air.

Future generations will complain that these people destroyed their ability to learn the truth about the actions of the real people who inspired the creation of those statues.  Their history lessons will therefore be inaccurate and their educational standards will suffer.


Laura Ingalls in the 1930s and the 1940s

This is the synopsis of the biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder on the Biography Channel.
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born on February 7, 1867, near Pepin, Wisconsin.  From 1882–1885 she was a teacher in South Dakota. She married Almanzo Wilder in 1885.  In 1932, she published Little House in the Big Woods, the first of her "Little House" books.  Wilder finished the last book in 1943. On February 10, 1957, she died at age 90, on her farm in Mansfield, Missouri.
The popular television show whose introduction is in the first video on this page is based on Laura's books.

These books are part history and part fiction because she wrote the books at the same time that she had those experiences.  The books include the slang words and the grammar that she heard and used at that time in history.


Ernest Hemingway in the early 20th century

This is the synopsis of the biography of Ernest Hemingway on the Biography Channel.
Born on July 21, 1899, in Cicero (now in Oak Park), Illinois, Ernest Hemingway served in World War I and worked in journalism before publishing his story collection In Our Time.  He was renowned for novels like The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, which won the 1953 Pulitzer.  In 1954, Hemingway won the Nobel Prize.  He committed suicide on July 2, 1961, in Ketchum, Idaho.

This is the summary of a short story called 50 Thousand, from a website called Book Rags.
Jack is an older boxer who has had a successful career.  He spends a few weeks on a health farm getting into shape for an important match against Walcott.  Jack misses his family and regrets having spent so much time away from them during his career.  Jack bets against himself in this match, hoping to make money on a match he is sure he will lose.  He rents a hotel room to stay in after the fight because he does not want his family to see how badly he is beaten.  He goes against Walcott for more than eleven rounds and gets beaten badly.  At the end of the match, he hits Walcott below the belt and loses the match.

This is part of the book, copied from page 9 of the web page for this short story on the website for the Atlantic Magazine, which published this short story.
After breakfast, Jack called up his wife on the long distance.  He was in the booth telephoning.

"That's the first time he's called her up since he's out here," Hogan said

"He writes her every day."

"Sure," Hogan says.  "A letter only costs two cents."

Hogan said good-bye to us, and Bruce, the nigger rubber, drove us down to the train in the cart.
There are many words and phrases that are used in this book that are historically accurate and thus valuable to someone who studies history.  For example, in order to call his wife, Jack stood inside a telephone booth and placed a long-distance phone call using the telephone that was inside the booth.

The postage for a letter was only two cents.

A rubber was a man who massaged a boxer before a fight to help him prepare for the fight.  Ernest Hemingway's extra description of Bruce, the "rubber", was a word that was commonly used when this Nobel Prize author wrote this book.


Maintaining historical accuracy

The words and phrases that people used when they wrote books in any country are part of the history of that country.  Ernest Hemingway didn't mention a cell phone in this story because they hadn't been invented yet.  If someone else changes the story to include a cell phone, they are making the story inaccurate and reducing its' value as a historical document.  If someone changes the story by changing the description of Bruce, they are also trying to change history and reducing the value of the literary product that was written by a great writer, someone who earned a Nobel Prize in Literature.  The people who destroyed the statue of the Confederate soldier are destroying history and reducing the value of the statues and documents that remain, because they will not include as much information about Confederate soldiers.


Erasing history in 2018

The American Library Association has reduced the value of an award that they give to the author of children's books by refusing to name the award for Laura Ingalls, a young woman who wrote children's books that many parents have read to many children.

Link to their announcement on their own website.

These are the first three paragraphs of a June 25, 2018 Los Angeles Times story.  The link in the third paragraph was in their story.
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, a significant achievement award in children’s literature presented by a division of the American Library Assn., will be renamed because of the author’s "stereotypical attitudes" toward Native Americans and African Americans.

The Assn. for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Assn., voted Saturday that the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, named for the author of "Little House on the Prairie," will now be known as the Children's Literature Legacy Award.

The group explained the decision in a statement on its website: "This decision was made in consideration of the fact that Wilder’s legacy, as represented by her body of work, includes expressions of stereotypical attitudes inconsistent with ALSC’s core values of inclusiveness, integrity and respect, and responsiveness."

These are the sixth, seventh, and eighth paragraphs of a C.N.N. story published the same day. The links in the seventh paragraph were in their story.
Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House on the Prarie" books are a staple of countless American childhoods.  The tales are so ingrained in the traditions of children's literature that it may be easy to forget or overlook that Wilder, who wrote the books in the 1930s and 40s, depicts Native Americans as inhuman and inconsequential.

An adult re-read reveals several characters, including Wilder's mother, saying things like "The only good Indian is a dead Indian," as well as romanticizing themes of American supremacy and manifest destiny.

While her father, as portrayed in the books, takes a more nuanced approach to Native Americans in some places, he also described one Indian as "no common trash" because "that was French he spoke."
Indians were described that way by many people at that time.  That is historically accurate.  Don't change history, and don't tell people today what to call them.  The wish to control what people say and write is fascism.

There is an immense benefit to remembering and preserving history.



Earnest Hemingway didn't write about cell phones because they didn't exist when he was alive.  When she was writing her books, Laura Ingalls didn't use the term "native Americans" because that term didn't exist when she was alive.  She used the word "indians", and she expressed the views that she had towards them, which is protected free speech under the First Amendment of the Constitution.



You have a right to read.

Don't let the American Library Association take any book away from you.

Read Laura's books to your children and explain to them that her descriptions of people and places was the way that many people described those people and places when she was alive.

When you say that to them, your children will be smarter.  This is the first sentence of the C.N.N. story that is quoted above.

"Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House on the Prarie" books are a staple of countless American childhoods."



The American Library Association has a lack of confidence in the ability of the American people to understand American history.

The descriptions of people and places can change over time.

The wish to censor what people read never changes.


I criticize the American Library Association for their substitution of their 21st century values for the views and values of Laura Ingalls Wilder at the time that she wrote her books.

The descriptions of people and places can change over time.

The wish to censor what people read never changes.

Because I criticize the American Library Association, they do not rule over me.

I am a free man because I can and do say that the American Library Association should restore the name of their award so that it honors Laura Ingalls Wilder.

If you are eligible to vote in Massachusetts


... and if you live in the 5th Congressional District in Massachusetts, in the center of the eastern half of the state ...

This is a closeup photo of this district.

The blue area on the extreme right is the Massachusetts Bay.



Please vote for Michael Stopa in the Congressional primary on October 15th, now that Ed Markey, who used to represent this Congressional district, is a U.S. Senator.


This means that the 5th Congressional District doesn't have anyone to represent it at the moment. 

Please vote for Mike Stopa, to put some respect for the sciences into our Congress.




Copied from the biography on his campaign website:
Note: The photo is a still from his appearance on Sean Hannity's show in 2010.  Two videos of that appearance are included later in this page.  I supplied the links to Suffield Academy, Wesleyan University, the University of Maryland, and the Physics Department of Harvard University that are in the first two paragraphs.

Mike and Sean Hannity
Mike Stopa is a graduate of Suffield Academy and holds an undergraduate degree in Astronomy from Wesleyan University and a Ph. D. in Physics from the University of Maryland.

Mike teaches in the Physics Department at Harvard University, where he has served as Research Physicist and Senior Computational Physicist since 2004.  He specializes in computation and nanoscience.

He is the director of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network Computation Project and a recognized expert on nanoscale electronics and computation.  He has over 75 publications and over a thousand citations to his work in the physics literature.

Mike lives in Holliston with his wife of eighteen years and his four beautiful children, including three girls and one son.

This video was filmed in 2010, when Mike lived and voted in the 3rd Congressional District in Massachusetts.

In 2010 he was living and voting in the 3rd District.  Now that he lives in the 5th District, he will be a better Congressman than Ed Markey ever was.

Mike's voice can be heard starting at 3 min, 10 seconds.


This video is part of the same 2010 appearance on Fox News.

The panel is now discussing President Obama's request for NASA to recognize the achievements of one religion (Islam) in the sciences.

Remember, Mike Stopa is a nanoscientist with a Ph.D. in Physics.

Mike's voice can be heard starting at 1 min, 30 seconds.



The primary election is Tuesday, October 15, 2013.



May 12, 2016 update.

Mr. Stopa lost his campaign to be a United States Representative, but he is now a supporter of Donald Trump.

On Saturday, April 30, 2016, he ran successfully to be a delegate to the Republican Convention that will be held in July in Cleveland, Ohio.

I was there in person during this one-day event, and I also campaigned to be a delegate to the same Republican Convention.  As I was waiting in line to enter the rental hall, I saw him, and I told him that I wanted to be elected as a candidate to the Republican Convention that was scheduled to meet in Cleveland, Ohio in July 2016.  I asked him to support me, and I expected that he would support me, because the first part of this essay had supported him when he was a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, but he told me that he wouldn't do it because he was the head of a group of people who wanted to be elected as delegates themselves, as supporters of presidential candidate Donald Trump.

I didn't get enough votes to win because there were a lot of Donald Trump supporters there, and they were obsessed with voting only for their own candidates.

Donald Trump supporters have many of the same characteristics as cult members, including an irrational love of their leader and an equally irrational hatred of anyone who is outside of their group.  I had already seen both characteristics of a cult in my brief conversation with Mr. Stopa, and I saw more of these cult characteristics later that afternoon in the hall.

A woman who was sitting next to me in the room, who had some Trump campaign literature with her, including campaign buttons, referred to another candidate as "a snake in the grass".
She worked on a Sodoku puzzle whenever any non-Trump candidate was making a campaign speech.

This meant more to a Trump supporter than anything that was said by someone who wasn't a Trump supporter.

She had a closed mind, and that's a dangerous quality for anyone who is voting for delegates to a party convention.

It's even more dangerous whenever a majority of the people in a room are voting for convention delegates.  They should be listening to all of the speeches, by every candidate to be a delegate, so that they can honestly say that they are well-informed voters.

Whenever a large number of people have an irrational love for one fallible human being, it allows that person to change from being a politician into being a dictator.  The more irrationality someone's supporters have, the easier this change can be made, and the harder it will be for any fallible human being to resist making this change.

When a majority of the people in one geographic area have an irrational love for a person who becomes a dictator, they will accept brutality, even cruelty, from that dictator.  This cage held a pilot from the Jordanian Air Force.  He was captured alive when his plane was shot down by ISIS, but then he was burned alive while trapped inside of his cage.

These web pages include information about this February 2015 photo, including actual video of his cruel death.

Link to my essay Why dictatorships are always bad, published on another one of my blogs.  It has been read 15,916 times (as of December 13, 2017) since I published it in July 2012.


Despite the fact that I endorsed him when I wrote this page, Michael Stopa's behavior during that one-day election contest offended me, so my Twitter account is now blocking his Twitter account.

Separation of church and state in Islam


The following paragraphs were copied from an article in the World News Daily published March 3, 2013.  All of the links in these paragraphs were in the W.N.D. original article.  The link to the article is at the end of the article.
Muslims living in America should not be bound by U.S. law, according to a leader of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who delivered the controversial message to a crowd at a Muslim rally in Austin, Texas.

“If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land,” said Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch.

The rally in Austin was part of a nationwide effort to hold “Muslim Capitol Day” events.

According to the event website, Muslims from around Texas went to the capitol to “promote civic and political activism throughout the wider Muslim community.”

The organizers said one major issue discussed “was the recent House and Senate bill proposals involving the implementation of ‘anti-Shariah’ legislation, where the First Amendment rights and freedoms of Muslims would ultimately be hindered.”

Critics argue Shariah prohibits other faiths from free exercise of religion when enforced, giving freedom only to Muslims.

Carroll’s statement was similar to a statement allegedly made by CAIR co-founder and former chairman Omar M. Ahmad. He was paraphrased by a reporter saying, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant” and the Quran “should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”

Does Mustafa Carroll, the leader of the Dallas, Texas branch of C.A.I.R., think that any U.S. president, even a Muslim U.S. president, has any Constitutional authority to allow American Muslims:
  • to have multiple wives,
  • to rape women,
  • to murder people, including family members,
  • to hijack airplanes and to fly them into buildings,
  • to steal money from businesses, including banks,
  • to have veiled women walking into banks,
  • and for anyone to have sex with children?


Does he think that the American public would tolerate any U.S. president, even a Muslim president, who did violate the Constitution he swore to uphold by giving an unconstitutional exemption to American Muslims who wanted to violate U.S. law, including our tax laws and the laws that make it a crime to murder, rape, and to rob banks?

Please allow me to quote an actual Muslim authority.

Copied and pasted from a Muslim website, the Online Darul Iftaa of Darul Uloom Deoband:
What's the proof for living under the law of the country you live in as long as it does not contradict Shariah? And which laws of the Mushrikeen-e-Mecca did our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) obey to?

(Fatwa: 702/686=L)

(1) It is narrated in Hadith: (المسلمون عند شروطھم (او کما قال علیہ السلام), Muslims should keep the agreements they make.  And we have been prohibited to revolt:المختار: (/6:212)  (We have been commanded to refrain from rebellion and cheating.)  Therefore, one should abide by the law of one's country until it contradicts the Shariah.

(2) First, there was no government.  Secondly, had there been any tribal system, then you should point out the examples which were in opposition with Shariah and the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not oppose it. Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best


Darul Ifta,
Darul Uloom Deoband


There.  Mohammed has spoken.  We all heard it.

The head of the Dallas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is wrong.


"One should abide by the law of one's country until it contradicts the Shariah."
