I thought it was "Mothers' Day," only to recently learn that Anna Jarvis, who organized the first observance of the holiday in 1908, called it "Mother's Day," a day to celebrate your own mother, In 1914, Pres. Wilson made it official, designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. Ms. Jarvis disapproved of the way the holiday morphed into a commercial bonanza for florists, candy merchants, and greeting card hawkers. She wanted people to honor their mothers, and she wanted mothers to work for "peace." Lovely sentiment, the sort of emotionally-driven, well-intentioned mentality exploited by tyrants, thugs and vicious, brutal dictators. That naive mindset is unfortunate in the average person, but when displayed by allegedly serious people, it is downright pathetic. I'm sure that the leader of the Islamic terror group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau is terrified by the fact that his kidnapping of nearly 300 schoolgirls is trending on Twitter! What did our State Dept. know about this group, and what should they have known? The Obama regime must be getting a little concerned that their lies about Benghazi are about to be exposed. They have spent the last several days, with the willing assistance of the Lame Stream Media allies, trying to persuade people that people who want the truth are all part of a Republican "Conspiracy Week," and that the Select Committee that will investigate is nothing more than a political stunt. If they have nothing to hide, why the insistence on continued secrecy and stonewalling? Word. To your Mother. As always, California is on "the cutting edge," this time making sure to bring the words "mother" and "father" into the 21st century.
