Benedict Arnold and His Descendants

One of several families who arrived by boat to establish Rhode Island Colony was the William Arnold clan. He had several children. I am descended from three of those children, but not from the fourth. The fourth son was named Benedict Arnold. No doubt he was a fine man, but it was his grandson or great-grandson who was the infamous traitor to his new country.

It was a pleasure to find that I was not a descendant of the Benedict Arnold clan. But he has plenty descendants in spirit if not in blood. Look at Hanoi Jane Fonda. Benedict just wanted power and position while Jane wanted to enforce her superior wisdom on us. It must have taken a monumental sense of self-importance to betray her country as she did.

Some think Jane Fonda got away with it—that is, was not tried for treason. But she did not get away with it at all. It is true that she did not go to prison, but look at how the general public remembers her. Few would want to be remembered that way.

After researching a book and writing 150 pages of it, I am even more aware of traitors in our midst. I am also aware of how the meanings of words have changed. My book is about the way civilians lived and contributed to the war effort during WWII. During those four years of strife when as many as a thousand military men died during a training mission with no battle going on, the American public put its head down and plugged away toward victory, one day at a time.

A few labor union leaders were the malefactors at home during WWII. They were willing to cripple the war effort just to satisfy their own selfish desires. Some of them were Communist and others were just short-sighted. But for the most part we all worked together to defeat not one, but two enemies.

Yes, Presidents Roosevelt and Truman had their detractors in America, but the Axis enemies had no reason to think a change in leadership here would result in a reduction in force of our troops at the battlefield.

Nowadays, the word “patriotic” has changed to mean an action that will weaken our country publicly. Our enemies can see what is going on. They know they can affect our elections because one party has told them so. The stated enemies of our country know they have allies in this land. These allies will shut down our intelligence operations, will open our borders, and will pull out our troops, if they get control of our government. That is called patriotism today but would have been called treachery during WWII years ago. I was there. I remember.

The simple fact is that dissention here results in a stiffening of resolve for our enemies in the Mideast. It kills our young men and women in uniform.

Benedict Arnold wanted power and position. Today, opposers to the protection of American citizens want no less. If they can convince enough Americans to vote their way, they will get their power back; but who will look out for the safety of our citizens?

It won’t be the Benedict Arnolds and the Jane Fondas of the country, the Dainty Americans with no will and no plan.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

Mike

Thanks for the tips on credit repair on this amazing site.
What I would tell people is to give up this mentality that they may buy right now
and pay back later. Like a society we tend to repeat this for many issues.

This includes trips, furniture, plus items we . However, you should separate your wants from the
needs. While you're working to improve your credit score you really have to make some sacrifices. For example you are able to shop online to save money or you can go to second hand suppliers instead of high-priced department stores regarding clothing.

One important thing is that when you find yourself searching for a education loan
you may find that you'll need a co-signer. There are many conditions where this is true because you will find that you do not have a past credit score so the financial institution will require that you have someone cosign the loan for you. Interesting post.

Thanks for expressing your ideas. I might
also like to say that video games have been actually
evolving. Technology advances and inventions have helped create
sensible and interactive games. These kinds of entertainment video
games were not as sensible when the concept was
first of all being used. Just like other areas of technology, video games too have
had to advance by way of many many years.

This itself is testimony on the fast progression of
video games.

Interesting blog post. What I would like to add is that pc memory needs to be purchased when your computer still cannot cope with whatever you do by using it.

One can mount two RAM memory boards having 1GB each, by way of example, but not one
of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should always check the manufacturer's documentation for the PC to make sure what type of memory is necessary.
