John Browning Day- by Mike S. Adams

Here is an idea that I can really get behind- replace Martin Luther King Day in January with John Moses Browning Day. Since everybody knows my feelings about JMB and his inventions, creations and hard work ethic, it shouldn't be a surprise that I think replacing Martin Luther King with a man whose gun designs saved thousands or millions of lives during two World Wars is a good idea. Anyway, click the link and read the whole thing. Its good.

Today’s “civil rights” movement has become a disgrace largely because it is based on the idea that people are entitled to things they did not earn through the fruits of their own labor. Instead, people are given things on the basis of what their ancestors suffered – all coming from those who did nothing wrong on the basis of what their ancestors did wrong.

But John Browning was a different kind of man. He refused to take anything he did not earn. He even refused an honorary degree from a university on the basis of that principle. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson could learn a lot from a man who practices what he preaches.

...I believe that John Browning’s greatest achievement is the example he set for all Americans with his work input not his work output. Indeed, he showed us that we can only be set free through hard work, a love of country over self, and a refusal to take credit for the achievements of others.
