US Generosity and Child Brainwashing
Let’s start the New Year’s first week with an excellent piece that speaks to America’s generosity in times of need.
Mona Charen recently wrote about our spirit of giving relating events she remembered as a schoolgirl. Those of us around her age all remember Biafra, right? All those children dying of hunger. Yet little was said about the corrupt governments that allowed this to take place.
So we helped out. And helped. And helped. And keep helping. It’s in the American nature to do this. In marked contrast to what the media may currently be saying about US assistance (during which those fuckers fail to mention the aid donated by citizens and also implying that only “government” aid is worthy of mention) she points out that:
In 2004, the United States provided $826,469,172 - almost a billion dollars - to the United Nations World Food Program.
The next largest donor, the European Union, contributed $187,102,068. This, even though the European Union has a total population of 453 million, compared with the United States’ 281 million, and a larger gross domestic product than the U.S.
Japan was third on the list, giving $126,906,097....
...the United Kingdom was fourth, with donations totaling $109,247,050.
Iran gave $40,000.
The Saudi Kingdom gave $3,345,325 - about the cost of one trip to Paris for the Crown Prince.
And Kuwait, the OPEC fund and the Russian Federation gave nothing.
She then relates a quote from a Professor C. Sheldon Thorne, who said:
“By the time students emerge from 12 years of public education, they are exquisitely sensitive to every nuance of racism, sexism and imperialism in American history. ... Most of my U.S. history students have it all figured out before they step into the classroom: America is rotten to the core.”
If there is a better justification for home schooling, please let me know.
I use this quote to take a leap into another article I found which talks about how the enviro-weenies in this country are brainwashing our children with their ideologies.
Apparently a group called the Rainforest Action Network is recruiting school age kids to do their propaganda work.
Shameless manipulation? Morally repugnant? Child abuse?
Sure. I think so.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
