VJ Day, Honolulu Hawaii, August 14, 1945

65 Years Ago my Dad shot this film along Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki capturing spontaneous celebrations that broke out upon first hearing news of the Japanese surrender. Kodachrome 16mm film: God Bless Kodachrome, right? I was able to find an outfit (mymovietransfer.com) to do a much superior scan of this footage to what I had previously posted, so I re-did this film and replaced the older version There are more still images from this amazing day, in color, at discoveringhawaii.com

lgstarr: I moved to Hawaii 19 years later in the summer of 1964 and stayed through 1970 (having graduated from U of H in 1968)...a lot of the above video looks familiar...but I'll bet it's totally different today!

The difference between Conservatives and Liberals

by Mark Levin (author, radio talk show host; constitutional scholar)
We believe in civil society, they believe in the federal leviathan.
We believe in education, they believe in indoctrination.
We believe in liberty, they believe in a growing authoritarianism.
We believe in the moral order, they believe in situational ethics.
We believe in the rights of man, they believe in the power of government.
We believe in real science, they believe in social science.
We believe in cultural stability, they believe in constant transformation.
We believe in eternal truths, they believe in ideological social engineering.
We believe in separation of powers, they believe in the administrative state.
We believe in prosperity, they believe in redistribution.
We believe in private property, they believe in collectivism.
We believe in individualism, they believe in conformity.
We believe in the Constitution, they believe in centralism.

Late Justice Antonin Scalia: On the existence of the Devil

"You're looking at me as though I'm weird. My god! Are you so out of touch with most of America, most of which believes in the devil? I mean, Jesus Christ believed in the devil! It's in the Gospels! You travel in circles that are so, so removed from mainstream America that you are appalled that anybody would believe in the devil! Most of mankind has believed in the devil, for all of history. Many more intelligent people than you or me have believed in the devil."

Ludwig von Mises

"The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau. What an alluring utopia! What a noble cause to fight!" --Ludwig von Mises (Bureaucracy, 1944. Yale University Press. 1969, New Rochelle, NY: Arlington House)

Ludwig von Mises

"Political ideas that have dominated the public mind for decades cannot be refuted through rational arguments, they must run their course in life and cannot collapse otherwise than in great catastrophe."

"A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages; he chooses between life and death. A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings." --Ludwig von Mises, writing in Human Action

"A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents MAY acquire U.S. citizenship at birth IF certain statutory requirements are met." (U.S. State Department).

So where is your CRBA, Ted?

"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government..."

~President Washington warning the nation about foreign attachment and influence in his Farewell Address of 1796.

NATURAL BORN CITIZENS?

"Consider that the constitutionally ineligible Senator Marco Rubio, Governor Bobby Jindal, and Governor Nikki Haley, while born in the United States, were born to no U.S. citizen parents. Furthermore, being born in a foreign country, under jus soli (right from the soil), Cruz also from the moment of birth acquired citizenship and allegiance to the country in which he was born. Being born subject to a foreign power under U.S. law, i.e., being born in allegiance to a foreign power under U.S. law, disqualifies one from being a natural born citizen and therefore eligible to be President." --Attorney Mario Apuzzo

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

And do thou, oh Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.
