[SECC] GA QSO party activity?

[Tom Drake]

Those who ignore the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. Hungary
1956 and Czechoslovakia 1968.  That's reality.  Neville Chamberlain met with
the bad guys in 1938 and bragged of "peace in our time."  One might ask the
folks in Poland how well that worked in 1939. Here we go again with
Hillary's "reset"  with the Russkies.  Here we go with John "Neville" Kerry
doing the bidding of Barry Soetero,  the closet muzloid.  Peace in our time
my ass. Instead, how about we petition the IARU to delete Palestine,  the
ersatz entity,  and establish Crimea as an entity? 

Thank you Paul and Greg for having the moral courage to state the obvious.
As to the minions of Newington, you curmudgeonly idiots need a wakeup call.
Ham radio reflectors are a fine place to state opinons and have a robust
discussion of real issues. Join in on 3843 or 3950 and drop in your opinions
instead of hiding behind the keyboard.   The "paper chase" is amusing,  but
really does not satisfy the PICON aspect of the amateur service.

Political correctness is just a ploy of FedGOV to get "we the sheeple" to
self-censor. My father 1943-1945,  myself 1966-68, and my son 2001-2004
didn't serve in the US Army Infantry to further First Amendment Zones. 

Good luck in the GQP and all rovers drive safely.

73,

Tom  NN4RR

Politics???
Let's get real.....this country is in a mess....and things are happening
around the world that affects us all.....guess we can stick our head in the
sand and hope for the best...
Don't think that'll get much done.....but, sure some will try it...
My two cents worth....
Enjoy the GQP!!
73, pn
