AS A PUBLIC SERVICE to those who do not want our children reciting the pledge of allegiance, they'll love this one:
"We pledge allegiance to the blue states of America, to the sanctuary cities, and to the democracy for which they stand, one ideology, without God, with freebies, lusting, and dual justice for all, hailing the Village now and for as long as it takes to get to run the whole show, deplorables be damned. Screw the people. Abortions and asylum forever."
[an excerpt from my Jan. 4, 2021, column]
"A WEEK FOR THE AGES. One for the history books. It's 2:22 a.m. and I'm on my second cup of coffee. I started writing at bar time. Last call for common sense. I haven't had a drink to drop. Seriously, convoys of concerned citizens are on the way from the Left coast to Washington DC. Wonder what awaits them there. Roadblocks? Antifa? They will surely be baited by the Lefties!
I just hope there are no John Browns who could snap back."
SPOT ON about the baiting and snares. Sadly, a few out of the thousands who were in town, let their emotions get the better of them.
The DOJ is now threatening people who didn't even go into the Capitol building. And as far as I can recall, the feds did nothing about the George Floyd rioters.
P.S. How many cities were burned by the Ashli Babbit protestors?
PPS: When you think of the Minneapolis riots, do you picture just a few stores being torched? A friend from Minnesota says that five miles of Minneapolis burned, and one mile of St. Paul. Were there any arrests?

Curtis Dahlgren is semi-retired in southern Wisconsin, and is the author of "Massey-Harris 101." His career has had some rough similarities to one of his favorite writers, Ferrar Fenton. In the intro to The Fenton Bible, Fenton said:
"I was in '53 a young student in a course of education for an entirely literary career, but with a wider basis of study than is usual. . . . In commerce my life has been passed. . . . Indeed, I hold my commercial experience to have been my most important field of education, divinely prepared to fit me to be a competent translator of the Bible, for it taught me what men are and upon what motives they act, and by what influences they are controlled. Had I, on the other hand, lived the life of a Collegiate Professor, shut up in the narrow walls of a library, I consider that I should have had my knowledge of mankind so confined to glancing through a 'peep-hole' as to make me totally unfit for [my life's work]."
In 1971-72 Curtis did some writing for the Badger Herald and he is listed as a University of Wisconsin-Madison "alumnus" (loosely speaking, along with a few other drop-outs including John Muir, Charles Lindbergh, Frank Lloyd Wright and Dick Cheney). [He writes humor, too.]
