1914 - Austria declared war on Serbia, marking the start of World War I.

The First World War, the Great War, the War of the Nations and the War to End All Wars...The first three of those names are reasonable, but the last one is a cruel joke.

Sadly, WWI led to over 15,000,000 civilian and battle deaths...Even more sadly, it didn’t come to a conclusive finish, and another 40,000,000+ deaths and the destruction of most of Europe and much of Asia followed in the 1930's and 1940's.

As a result, the peace treaty which ended the war was nothing more than the establishment of a ‘phony peace’ and a path towards WWII.

1588 - The Spanish Armada set sail to overthrow England's Queen Elizabeth I.

Two days till one of the most important naval battles in history...And it didn’t turn out well for the Grande y Felicissima Armada - "large and most fortunate fleet".

1794 - Maximilien Robespierre was guillotined. Known as 'The Incorruptible,' he launched the French Revolution's 'Reign of Terror.'

I guess this is a perfect example of the old saying: "Those who live by the sword (guillotine), die by the sword (guillotine)."

1866 - The metric system was authorized for the standardization of weights and measures throughout the United States.

I’m a traditionalist, but the metric system is so superior to the U.S. Customary Unit System...Any time a system of 10’s can be used it should, and our current system is almost impossible to memorize.

For once I will give it to the Euros - we should change 100%.

1868 - The 14th Amendment to the Constitution, establishing citizenship for American blacks and guaranteeing due process of law, was ratified.

The 14th is one of the most important Amendments, even though many question its legitimacy because it was forced on the Southern states as a prerequisite to rejoin the Union...Such are the spoils of war. The Southerners made their bed, and this was a condition of getting out of it.

Unfortunately,  much legal gymnastics has been done by the Left to pursue their radical agenda through the bastardization of this amendment.

1931 - The U.S. Congress established 'The Star-Spangled Banner' as the national anthem.

What a brilliant song:

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

I’m sure you are familiar with this portion of the song, but there are three other parts...Click here to see the lyrics, hear the tune and read a history of the Star Spangled Banner.

1943 - President Franklin Roosevelt announced the end of coffee rationing:  WWII.

Whoa!!! Can you imagine if the president did this in our time? I can already see the ACLU(seless) running wild, complaining about civil rights being trampled on.

Psychos.

1945 - The U.S. Senate ratified the United Nations Charter.

The U.N. is the most corrupt, unethical, crooked entity in the world, and the U.S. is it's major benefactor...Which makes us guilty by association.

1995 - A jury in Union, South Carolina, rejected the death penalty for Susan Smith, sentencing her instead to life in prison for drowning her two young sons. She will be eligible for parole after 30-years.

1. This mother strapped her kids into a car, locked the doors and rolled them into a lake to die by asphyxiation due to drowning...Is there a worse way to die?

2. Senator Ted Kennedy (the Duke of Chappaquiddick Bay) did more or less the same thing (only one victim, though), but received little more than a few months probation...Mrs. Smith should have appealed to get double what Teddy got.

3. Had Susan Smith executed her children before they were born there would have been no consequences for her...So she decided to perform a post-term abortion?!?! Either way you have dead kids, but who are we to deny her the 'right to choose' to kill them?

All kidding aside, THIS PATHETIC BITCH KILLED HER CHILDREN!!! The worst crime imaginable...And she didn't even do it in a quick, 'humane' way. They suffered and had to think through their deaths and wonder why their MOMMY was doing it to them.

Susan Smith deserved the death penalty, and justice was screwed by the decision to give her life in prison - with an opportunity for parole.

Here's hoping justice is eventually served at the hands of a shank-wielding bull dyke in the pen.
