In a move rivaling Patton's march through the Rhineland, MoveOn has called in the calvary, albeit a single SUV with a dog strapped to the roof.This, coupled with their current onslaught of YouTube videos, and banners flying from airplanes, should surely bring the GOP to their knees!Liberals smell blood in the air. Mitt Romney and the 1% are teetering on the precipice of defeat and all that's needed is a mechanized unit to once again bring peace to the Nation!Now is the time for action...now is the time for all Progressives to rise! …My God, I actually pity those poor Conservatives we're going up against. My God, I do…we're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our SUV’s…We are advancing...

I cannot tell how much of this outrage about Sarah Palin's endorsement of McCain is feigned by those who do not wish her well. It is not principally to those folks that this post is directed. To those conservatives who are genuinely disappointed by Sarah Palin's decision to support McCain, let me say that I think Rush and Mark Levin understand it and have said that it is a question of loyalty and that loyalty is a virtue. That makes sense to me and, personally, I would be a little put off if she did otherwise, since it would look...

The newly unearthed diaries of a colourful assassin for the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the CIA, reveal that American spy chiefs wanted Patton dead because he was threatening to expose allied collusion with Russians that cost American lives. 'We've got a terrible situation with this great patriot, he's out of control and we must save him from himself'. The OSS head General did not trust Patton The death of General Patton in December 1945, is one of the enduring mysteries of the war era. Although he had suffered serious injuries in a car crash in...

To Code Pink and friends: I think this is how General George S. Patton would sum things up…and then catch holy hell from Ike. He sure had a unique way of expressing his thoughts. A Message from the Ghost of General Patton: ATTENTION! “To ALL those whining, panty-waisted, pathetic Maggots, it’s time for a little refresher course on exactly why we Americans occasionally have to fight wars.“ “See if you can tear yourself away from your ‘reality’ TV and Starbucks for a minute, pull your head out of your flabby ass – and LISTEN UP!“

Incredible speech of what Patton would have said about this Great War on Terror. Incredible! George S Patton's New Speech-Iraq & modern world

Quick -- which is Hillary Clinton's bigger liability as a candidate?: A. she's an insufficiently ardent feminist; orB. her personality is cold, calculating and unfeminine. If you've been living on Planet Earth since 1992, surely your answer is 'B.' So when Elizabeth Edwards adds fuel to that fire, accusing Hillary of behaving like a man, that is very newsworthy stuff. Unless you're NBC or ABC, that is. "Today" and "Good Morning America" ran segments this morning on Mrs. Edwards' recent interview with Salon.com in which she made comments critical of Hillary. The networks focused on Elizabeth's relatively benign comment:She's just...

There is a haunting yet hopeful moment in the film Patton, when George C. Scott’s General Patton utters a warning that carries timeless weight—a warning we would do well to heed. In the scene, British and American generals are discussing the grim situation in the strategic town of Bastogne, where the US 101st Airborne is surrounded by German forces. A British general reports that there’s nothing General Montgomery can do to help. Other Allied generals simply avert their gaze from the map and the problem. But then General Patton volunteers to do the unthinkable: attack with three divisions in just...

Pace Calls Iraq Investigations Chance to Recheck Moral Compass By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service SINGAPORE, June 4, 2006 – The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told U.S. Marines stationed here today the ongoing investigations of events in Haditha, Iraq, present an opportunity for all servicemembers "to revisit ourselves and see where we are on our moral compass." Gen. Peter Pace, the first Marine to become the highest-ranking U.S. military officer, shared his thoughts with members of Marine Corps Detachment Singapore after stopping between sessions at a security conference here to thank them for their service. Asked...

Was General Patton's death the result of a traffic accident or was he the victim of an assassination plot? (By Stalin)

"Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bull****. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight. When you, here, everyone of you, were...

Dear Jon, So “America (the Book)” was named Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly. More than successful, it’s a cultural phenomenon. I had to see what the shouting’s about. If your goal was money and self-promotion, congratulations. If you had a higher goal, close but no cigar. Begin with the Foreword “by” Thos. Jefferson. Ol’ Tom was one of the greatest political thinkers in history. I’m not going to pick on deliberate falsehoods or fake quotes. Nor brevity, nor attempts at humor. Just flat-out, factual errors. You have Jefferson say “we” composed “the Declaration and the Constitution.” You credit...

If General George Patton were alive and President of the USA, this would probably be his Fireside Speech: My fellow Americans; As you all know, the defeat of Iraq's regime has been completed. Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning. Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood...

Patton's Sweep Is Cause for Confidence; While Bombings Didn't 'Awe' in VietnamBy Carla Anne Robbins, Greg Jaffe and Dan MorseWASHINGTON -- Gen. Tommy Franks, who is running the war against Iraq, says it's being fought "unlike any other in history." That may well be true of the overall war plan, which calls for a lightning drive to the capital, heavy reliance on precision bombing, a collapse of the Hussein regime and a mop up of remaining Iraqi forces afterward. But key elements of the campaign have echoes in other wars. The lessons from past conflicts -- some heartening, some sobering...

I've heard that at the end of WWII, George Patton advocated attacking the Russians. If this is true, can you tell me if he intended to drive them out of Eastern Europe, or go all the way to Moscow?
