High Water Mark at Gettysburg...Pickett's Charge across no-man's land

"The bravest feat ever performed on a battlefield.."

[Plutarch]

It was clear that Lee’s incursion into Pennsylvania was a success. He had bloodied the nose of the Union army on their own turf and the moral of his men was high...

Lee felt ... that the gains that the Confederate forces had made in the previous two days of fighting would be for not.

That would be morale and naught respectively.

They know it is coming.

The Progressive Caucus has removed their page from the house.gov website and then they did a deep scrub on the WayBack Machine. There are no longer traces of the web pages.

But I posted the list I had copied from their site on 2-20-2010. It can be seen here: Congressional Progressive Caucus (Missing) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2491052/posts

Remember! November is coming! November is coming! November is coming!

Progressives’ High-Water Mark

Isn't that pretty much the same thing left behind when the plumber gets the toilet unplugged after someone leaves the bowl full of diarrhea for several days?

I am still thinking they have a plan. A Reichstag fire, they already gave Obama his 80,000 man domestic army to deploy when this happens.

Because unlike in Lee’s case, there is no force that will stop them.

Mrs Dog and I visited Gettysburg in Oct. ‘08 and sprang for the one on one guided tour. It was money well spent. What was not included in the tour was a tour and an explanation of the battle of Kulp’s Hill. Kulp’s was pivotal in the outcome of the victory of the North. We have visited many historic sites, but none has affected us to the extent as did Gettysburg.

While we were on Kulp’s Hill, I picked up some nuts from the ground, brought them home and planted them. It gives me great pleasure to say that I have in my back yard some trees that came from nuts from the Gettysburg battlefield, a place where so many souls perished in such hellish conditions. sd

More than the damage to the Democratic brand name, I often wonder what the African Americans are thinking, walking so lock in step and being 100% associated w/ this half-black charlatan marxist???

He has so damage the African-American “brand” name (for lack of a better word!) and sabotaged the future political aspirations of African Americans that I believe if there is any hope of another black politician being elected for a very long time it’ll only happen as a
Republican and with ONLY thoroughly conservative credentials.
