Gen. Robert E. Lee, CSA Dec. 3rd 1865 Commander’s Report Lt Col Alfred H Belo 55th NC Infantry Founder of the Dallas Morning News from Confederate Veteran magazine Vol X FEB 1902 p 83 Chaplain’s Corner Get Happy! Some years ago, I was trying to encourage a man who seemed greatly depressed. I asked him to think of all the things he had to be thankful for. He looked at me as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders, and said, "Like what?" Now that's pitiful. He couldn't think of one thing to be thankful for, and that's enough to make anyone miserable and unhappy. I know a man who bought a boat. He kept it short while, then sold it. Then he bought a motorcycle, kept that a short while and sold it. After that he bought, of all things, a saxophone. I don't know what he did with the sax, or what he may have tried next, but I can't help but wonder: Is he happy now? Allow me this bit of philosophy: Happiness is wanting what you've got and being thankful for it. I don't have everything I could wish for, I doubt any of us do, but I have everything I need, and then some. And for this, I am thankful. It may be said that being thankful for what we have is the key that opens the door to getting happy. However, to be truly happy, it is also important to realise who we should be thankful to. In Ephesians 5:20, the Bible says, "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." The Scripture tells us to thank God always for all things. If I were to run out of gas on the highway, and someone stopped, drove me to a gas station, and then back to my car, I would thank him very much. But, I would also thank God for sending him. Ultimately, God is the source of everything we have to be thankful for. We can be most thankful that God loves us, and sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die in our stead that we might have eternal life. We can be thankful that He sends His Holy Spirit to strengthen, guide, and comfort us in our most difficult times. We can thank Him for preserving us, as we await our Lord's return. We can thank Him always for all things, and that's what makes me, and all who have committed their life to Jesus Christ, get happy. To all my friends, Brothers, and Compatriots: I hope you had, and continue to have, a very happy Thanksgiving. Bro. Len Patterson, Th.D Past Chaplain, Army of Trans-Mississippi 1941-2013 Please continue to keep Toni Ray, wife of Rudy, in prayer as she battles with cancer. Virginia Flagger and SCV Compatriot Willie Earl Wells, Jr., 87, of Petersburg , VA , died February 17, 2019, at his residence.

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • Justifying Sacrifice: Barack Obama and the Selling and Ending of the War in Afghanistan
    Justifying sacrifice: Barack Obama and the selling and ending of the war in Afghanistan TREVOR MCCRISKEN* Just a month after entering office, US President Barack Obama spoke at the US Marine Corps base at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. His remarks focused on his plans to ‘responsibly’ end the war in Iraq and to deepen the commitment of the United States to the fight against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. One of the key motifs that Obama used in his speech was that of ‘sacrifice’—the need for all Americans to continue the age-old tradition of paying a price for the freedoms they enjoy. As he told the audience of US Marines: ‘The consequences of war are dire, the sacrifices immeasurable. You know because you have seen those sacrifices. You have lived them. And we all honor them.’ He then charac- terized this notion of sacrifice for one’s country as being part of a long tradition that was responsible for the very existence of the United States and an essential guarantor of its domestic freedom: Each of you has your own story. And that story is now a part of the history of the United States of America—a nation that exists only because free men and women have bled for it from the beaches of Normandy to the deserts of Anbar; from the mountains of Korea to the streets of Kandahar. You teach us that the price of freedom is great. Your sacrifice should challenge all of us—every single American—to ask what we can do to be better citizens.1 In order to ‘sell’ the renewed effort to bring the Afghanistan campaign to ‘a successful conclusion’, Obama has drawn heavily on the idea of ‘sacrifice’ by emphasizing in his rhetorical defence of the commitment of further US troops that the protection of the United States and its interests against further terrorist attacks compels America to bear the burden of sacrifice that continuing the war entails.
