It is 281 weeks since Germany invaded Poland. Here is what was going on 79 years ago during the week of 7-13 January 1945:

quote:

In the East, the Soviets launch a massive series of new offensives. In the West, Monty holds an ill-judged press conference about the Battle of the Bulge and Operation Nordwind, the German offensive in Alsace, continues. In Hungary, there’s house to house fighting as the Red Army besieges Budapest. In the Indo-Pacific, the Allies wrestle with the Kamikazes, begin their landings on Luzon, and advance in Burma.

Funny thing is the soviets were all about using threats about social justice and equity as a tool to gain and keep power over it populace. Funny how history repeats itself.

Protecting minority interest groups was a major concern of our founders. See Federalist #10, written by James Madison. LINK Our form of government's protection of minority rights is something to be proud of. As the writer points out,

"AMONG the numerous advantages promised by a wellconstructed Union, none deserves to be more accurately developed than its tendency to break and control the violence of faction. The friend of popular governments never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice. He will not fail, therefore, to set a due value on any plan which, without violating the principles to which he is attached, provides a proper cure for it. The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public councils, have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished; as they continue to be the favorite and fruitful topics from which the adversaries to liberty derive their most specious declamations."
