    Political correctness is a national suicide pact.

    I am a sovereign individual, accountable
    only to God and my own conscience.

    RIP Sailor

    Glenn McDuffie was 18 years old the day World War II ended. Having just exited a New York subway station at Times Square, McDuffie, a sailor, heard the news, grabbed a nurse and kissed her. Photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captured the the moment, which became synonymous with V-J day—August 14, 1945.

    McDuffie died March 9 in Dallas. He was 86 years old, according to the Associated Press.
