Maybe you should have a memorial for all the innocent civilians MURDERED in Democrat-voting strongholds every year.

Chicago, DC, Detroit, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Baltimore--all are hellholes of crime and violence and weren't hellholes of crime and violence until Democrats cemented control back in the 1960s.

You can trace the rise of crime in many of these cities to right after Republicans had their last mayor. In the case of New York, violent crime such as murder has declined under Republican leadership.

Democrats DESTROY communities.

16,500 people murdered in America each year--the majority in Democrat strong holds multiplied by 4 years = a helluva lot more murders than American soldiers killed.

I am getting fed up with this "In Memoriam" farce every week. They always lump together some poor kids --who lose their lives in the line of duty in some horrific battle induced casualty in a hell hole-- and CEOs/Executives who usually provided nothing of value to this society other than siphon money from the masses, and usually pass away after long and cushy lives which end usually in a placid eternal sleep.

It used to be that in order to deserve a communal In Memoriam you had to have provide something of actual value to society. Mention was reserved for Artists whose body of work was notable, Scientist who contributed significantly to the advancement of our knowledge, Humanitarians who manage to beat the odds and further the human condition, or Heroes who sacrificed their lives so that other people would keep theirs be it on the line of duty or as a common citizen who rose to a specific challenge.

Now we are left with Mention being reserved for people whose only qualification is the fact that they manage to amass a lot of money, be it as a CEO/Executive, or some Sports figure.

It is a testament about the devolution experienced by our society. For example, you will not see any philosopher being questioned about their opinions on American TV, however you will see plenty of rich people -- most of whom are dumber than a bag of rocks-- Because people nowadays assume that if you made globs of money, somehow your opinion is important as you have shown ability. They tend to ignore that money making ability is not necessarily correlated with intellect but with lack of scruples, which is fairly dangerous and poisonous IMHO.

Except for the kids Bush is arranging to have murdered in Iraq and Afghanistan, In Memoriam seems to be scraping the barrel for nominees.

I'd be nice if we'd get off our Zionist Empire kick, so 'In Memoriam' could be the lead item on 'In Memoriam', soon.

That gunman who shot up the New Life Church in Colorado Springs is sure lucky he didn't hit the Pastor's 'Pet Pump', who was on his knees under the Dais during the service, or he'd have had the 'Wrath of 'God'' called down on him, for sure.
