I wrote this originally on another thread, mostly as a joke. However, when I reread it, I actually felt inspired.
I think I will repost this from time to time when morale -- especially mine -- is flagging on Free Republic.
Credit for the original speech goes to the finest fighting man America has ever produced: General George "Blood and Guts" Patton.

Good Rant Laz!
But next time you come around with this morale booster for the troops, I would request you show up with the blood on that M-16's bayonet cleaned off...

Really read this. It's amazing how well Patton's words translate to politics.

All through your Free Republic careers, you folks have bitched about what you call "chicken s**t posting."
I could bitch about this thread, but I won't cuz I still luvs ya for that wonderful mock opus you posted a long while ago that even had funerial organ music in the background. That was a real keeper!:)

You do know he never really made that speech ...
And you forgot "WADE into them. Spill THEIR blood. Shoot THEM in the belly." And "We're not interested in holding our ground. We are advancing constantly, and we're going through them like crap through a goose."
But other than that, the parallel is apt. I especially like the part about using their guts to grease our SUVs. Liberals don't have much in the way of guts, so it would take a LOT of them for say an Expedition ...

It's not just the liberals, don't forget the globalists.
When do we start?

You do know he never really made that speech ...(Johnny Carson voice) I did NOT know that.
And you forgot "WADE into them. Spill THEIR blood. Shoot THEM in the belly." And "We're not interested in holding our ground. We are advancing constantly, and we're going through them like crap through a goose."
I think it's in there but I redacted all violent imagery in place of activism.
But other than that, the parallel is apt.
I think so. It's another demonstration of the inverse of that old truism -- the inverse being "Politics is War by other means".
I especially like the part about using their guts to grease our SUVs. Liberals don't have much in the way of guts, so it would take a LOT of them for say an Expedition ...
LOL! Thanks.
