"Three hundred thousand yankees Stiffen in southern dust...
We got three hundred thousand...And I wish it was three million...For this fair land of freedom I do not care a damn....I’m glad I fought against it...I hates the yankee nation And everything they do, I hates the declaration Of independence, too; I hates the glorious union...I hates their striped banner, I fought it all I could."

Yet, you say I am over the top! What NB posted was little different from what an Islamic terrorist could have posted, yet you say I am over the top. Remember, Free Republic is for patriots. There are plenty of other websites more suitable for NB's filth.

If that's supposedly a quote from Forest, how 'bout a link ?
I understood NM to be quoting Ry Cooder lyrics.

While Forest may have been too inclined to throw the baby out w/the bathwater,
my recollection of history is that he was one helluva soldier.

My beef w/you is for accusing a fellow FReeper - today - of 'thirsting for the blood of US soldiers'.

Unless you can offer proof against said FReeper, it's a despicable accusation.
If I were a site mod, you'd get a few days off to think about it.

I'm intrigued. The muslim part strikes me as a decent guess. How do you get the Brit part?

Whatever else he is, he's also a hit-and-run poster, evidently.

Coming soon to America.

Oriana, what Italy and Europe truly needs is another Garibaldi to push the islamists back into their 12th century caves.

God bless you Lady, for you are a true lady and an Italian patriot.

Took a look at posting history, one lifted from a UK paper, one mentions two towns in England and he spells favor favour. The lack of easy familiarity with English makes me think it's his second language.

"Anyway, I don't think the Italian authorities will jail her."

They better not. Italians know Oriana's love and defense of Italy's culture, civilization and religion. They will not allow authorities to jail her. Oriana is today one of the few Italian/European patriots and they better not touch her or all hell will break loose.

"It it were so, I would be proud to go to prison. With Miss Fallaci."

Same here. But not until I raise hell.

Not due out in the USA until October 11, Fallaci's new book is already #156 at amazon.com (and only $13.57):

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0847827534/qid=1119798358/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-0515260-3822435?v=glance&s=books

From the Inside Flap

"Oriana Fallaci is back with her much-anticipated follow up to The Rage and the Pride, her powerful post-September 11 manifesto. The genesis for The Force of Reason was a postscript entitled Due Anni Dopo (Two Years Later), which was intended as a brief appendix to the thirtieth edition of The Rage and the Pride (2002). Once Ms. Fallaci completed the postscript, she chose to expand it into a book, a continuation of her ideas set in motion in The Rage and the Pride.In The Force of Reason Fallaci takes aim at the many attacks and death threats she received after the publication of The Rage and the Pride. Ms. Fallaci begins by identifying herself with one Master Cecco, the author of a heretical book who was burnt at the stake during the Inquisition seven centuries ago on account of his beliefs, and proceeds with a rigorous analysis of the burning of Troy and the creation of a Europe that, to her judgment, is no longer her familiar homeland but rather a place best called Eurabia, a soon-to-be colony of Islam (with Italy as its stronghold). Ms. Fallaci explores her ideas in historical, philosophical, moral, and political terms, courageously addressing taboo topics with sharp logic."

If they do then that will mean that the Italian government has been subverted and they are working with other malevolent forces to destroy all remaining elements of proud nationalism.

Which nation or group might be seeking the empowerment of itself to the detriment of all others ?

P.S. Things are really day-by-day right now. We will see what the powers-that-be decide to do and how they use their vast powers of money, supercomputers, satellites, weaponry and influence networks in the coming days and weeks.

What is interesting is that they are challenging the much higher power of God himself with their myopic arrogance. They will lose...God will win !

God bless you, and a very good Sunday to you too.

You have spoken the truth as few in these threads would dare speak.

Good comments. There are various groups playing at the "Control the World" cards table. They think they hold the better hands than the other players and quite enjoy their satanic power plays. What's a few dead, or scared, or lost people between players ?

They should all beware of the higher force in the universe. What I find quite comforting is that God is the one who is truly in control and that his plans will prevail. The world "leaders" like to think that they are Gods. They will continue to be rudely awoken in the very near future.

You gonna start with your South-bashing garbage again, Dixie-hater?

Get on back to your refrigerator, your beer is calling you.

Nathan Bedford Forrest, your hero, killed 33 U.S. troops, a body count any Islamic terrorist would envy.

I thought it was 30.

He had 29 horses shot out from under him, prompting him to claim he was "a horse ahead at the end."

Anyway, lots of good men were killed in that war. Not sure it's helpful to compare any of them to Muslim suicide bombers.
