Death and Dismemberment of American servicepersons are a worthwhile price to pay for the world wide socialist movement that the resident of the White Hut is in the forefront of leading.
America voted in a Marxist BAS***D (literally), and then re-elected him.
Time to take back America....or at least a chunk of it.
Really? And I suppose God determines the outcome of baseball games too.
Yikes...
I take issue with your assessment on so many levels...based on my research and study.
And many times, the bad guys win...
I doubt it will be made given that "Gods and Generals" was a major bomb.
But also note, the abolitionist movement came from the religious...
The Union’s Camp Douglas in Chicago, IL is just as evil as any Southern POW camps. Remember, the victor’s write the history! Study what the Northern troops did to person’s living in Missouri. I am speaking of civilians.
Too bad it was considered a bomb, because it actually was quite good. You have to be a CWphile to enjoy I guess.
My goodness, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? What put all the murder and rage into your heart this fine morning? Life’s too short brother (or sister) to live in anger.
I am a big time student of the CW and loved "Gettysburg" but I thought "Gods and Generals" sucked.
Does “America” consist of the dead in their graves, I wonder?
Actually, there is a bit more to it than that. The sudden release of the slaves was not a good thing for them. In fact, it is still ripping at our nation. You don’t take a nation of people who have been living off their owners for gernerations - no personal responsibility, no skills beyond the simple tasks they were assigned, and no education whatsoever (with rare exceptions), and being supplied food, clothing and shelter by their owners and then one day drop ‘em on the street ands say “You’re free! Live long and prosper!”
It was a worse post war disaster than after we caught Saddam. And we are STILL paying for it.
The movie is said to portray both sides as squelching speech and views from those who thought that war was not the answer. The film’s screenwriter says the film is a “defense of dissent”.
Sounds like the theme of "Shenandoah" with James Stewart (1965). Fine film.
I would have enjoyed Gettysburg a thousand times more if the POS Martin Sheen didn’t play Lee.
And I understand that free speech suffered on both sides from the beginning to the war until the end. But I was puzzled by his apparent claim that had free discussion been allowed prior to the war then the war wouldn't have happened. I wasn't aware that it had been suppressed in any way. You had a lot of people not listening to what the other side had to say, but they were still free to say it.
I thought the same thing as I read the article.
always revere the dead, especially those who gave all for freedom.
under this regime, don’t be surprised if places like Arlington cemetery, or Calverton, by me, has the Crosses or Stars of David ground off...to be sensitive to those of ‘other faiths’ or NO FAITHS.
But the one thing that keeps niggling at me regarding the war is that it must have been HELL for the troops for two rarely discussed reasons:
1. Ticks
2. Chiggers
My introduction to the latter after weedeating in shorts and no shirt or bug spray (common activity in Seattle) resulted in a trip to the doctor.
Another misery—Union troops fought in dark wool uniforms.
