Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
The Walls Are Closing in: Liz Cheney Touts Criminal Charges Against Trump
Thursday, April 14, 2022
Liz Cheney
Robert Spencer : One of the foremost propaganda organs for the Democrat Party and the hard-Left, the New York Times, reported Sunday
that “The leaders of the House committee investigating the Capitol
attack have grown divided over whether to make a criminal referral to
the Justice Department of former President Donald J. Trump, even though
they have concluded that they have enough evidence to do so, people
involved in the discussions said.”
Jake Tapper asked Cheney on CNN: “Is that true? Do you have enough evidence to refer Trump for criminal charges?”
Cheney replied: “Well, we have not made a decision about referrals on
the committee. I think that it is absolutely the case, it’s absolutely
clear that what President Trump was doing, what a number of people
around him were doing, that they knew it was unlawful. They did it
anyway.” Actually, that’s not clear at all. Cheney conveniently ignores
the fact that in his speech to protestors on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump said:
“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol
building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
Peaceful protest is not unlawful in the United States, and there is
nothing else that the Jan. 6 Committee can reasonably charge Trump with
calling for or inciting. But “reasonably” is the key word in that
sentence; the Jan. 6 Committee is made up of pillars of Washington
establishment politics, all of whom have a burning hatred for Trump;
there is no indication that they have any interest in being reasonable.
Cheney, however, found the criminal conduct elsewhere. She continued:
“I think you certainly saw that in the decision that was issued by
Judge Carter a few weeks ago, where he concluded that it was more likely
than not that the president of the United States was engaged in
criminal activity.” She was referring to U.S. District Court Judge David
Carter’s statement in
late March: “Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than
not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint
Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,” when he pressed claims of fraud
in the 2020 presidential election. Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich
called Carter’s decision an “absurd and baseless ruling by a
Clinton-appointed Judge in California.”
