RIP Rosie the Riveter
« on: April 23, 2015, 08:57:21 AM »
The model for Rockwell's Rosie the Riveter poster has passed at 92 years of age. She was a 19 year old telephone operator when she posed.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Stooge for government agit-prop.

And it worked.  With tremendous unanticipated consequences.

Will femminists of any ilk step up and thank her for her contribution?  (Are those crickets I hear?)

In closing - in case nobody else says it: Thank you for your service.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.
