THIS DAY IN HISTORY

January 5

1919 - The German Workers Party - later known as the National Socialist (Nazi) Party - was formed in Germany.

It isn’t amazing Germany fell under the spell of Hitler and his nutty Nazis.  It could happen again; it could happen anywhere - including in the U.S., because people in general are want for a strongman...What's amazing is how so many psychopaths were able to gather in one place and function as well as they did. It would have been much more natural for them to cannibalize one another much faster than they did.

1066 - English King Edward the Confessor died.

Edward died without a son, and allegedly promised the English crown to Norman duke, William...But before he died, he named another man as his successor - Earl of Essex Harold.

Harold became King on January 6, but William never forgot the 'promise' Edward made.  And it wasn't long until William came to stake claim to that promise.

1349 - Jews were massacred at Nuremberg during Black Death riots.

'The Jews poisoned the wells, causing the Plague'...People in the Middle Ages were scientifically ignorant, and it's always been easy to blame the Jews for just about anything - not just in Germany, either.

1781 - A British naval expedition, led by Benedict Arnold - infamous American traitor - burned Richmond, Virginia:  American Revolutionary War.

Arnold was one of the true heroes of the American Revolution, but he was a narcissist who didn't feel he received 'enough love' from Washington and the political leadership, so he turned.  It's too bad, because had he stayed the course, Arnold would have went down in American history below only George Washington and Nathaniel Greene as military leaders in the War for Independence.

1896 - German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen discovered x-rays.

The Germans were far ahead of the rest of the world scientifically at this time, and continued its domination throughout WWII...Sadly, they made far too much use of this genius destroying their neighbors and themselves, instead of creating such things as medical x-ray technology.

1945 – The 'House Un-American Activities Committee' (HUAC) became a permanent House committee.

With the modern-day Benedict Arnold's running around, it would be nice to see Congress revive this long-since-dead, 'permanent House committee.'

1948 - Alfred Kinsey's 'Sexual Behavior in the Human Male' was published.

How many little boys were raped by Kinsey's subjects in order to get his deviant research? I'm sure a few little girls were 'test subjects,' too.

1993 - The state of Washington executed Westley Allan Dodd, an admitted child sex-killer, in America's first legal hanging since 1965.

All sexual predators should face execution...I guarantee if we killed enough of them the level of sexual crimes would drop.
