No better way to remember and honor those Minutemen of the Shot Heard Round the World battle fame - as well as General Douglas MacArthur and all those who served with him in WWI, II, the Korean Wars and ALL our Patriots in the Armed Forces both of times past and of today - than by doing what millions in this nation are doing - joining and becoming active in the Tea Party movement -
DO THIS TODAY!
Join a Tea Party group and/or take an action today to help the cause of freedom and today's revolution which is well underway and which will bring our nation back to its founding ideals come this November- provided every American does their / our part in the "battles" at hand.
Whether it's praying for the movement, giving to Freedom loving candidates, joining local GOP groups and becoming active in what they are doing now, emailing others you know to become active, particpating in the publicizing of events - candidates - gatherings, or attending rallies or DECIDING NOW WHOM YOU CAN ENABLE TO VOTE NOW AND IN THE FALL by bringing them to the polls or getting them to do early voting.
Volunteering to be a pollwatcher in November is a tremendous heroic action many can take as these heroes monitor what goes on at the polling places which can prevent the planned voter fraud from taking place.
Thank you to all who have done something already - and the many who have done much - both from the very beginning of the Tea Party movement AND those who have just recently become aware and have joined up and will take action NOW to help "the great cause" for which our forefathers and mothers bled and sacrificed for the past 200+ years!
Onward Christian Soldiers - Marching As to War!
Primary elections are happening right now all across the nation.
Today is the day to become involved if have not already done so!
(To admin moderator - I posted this in General Chat as usual - but actually this post belongs in the Activism - Teaparty section of Free Republic if possible. It is a call to action as well as a reminder of today as Patriots’ Day. Can you help? Thanks.)
Come and enjoy, celebrate our freedom today by doing something to promote ‘the cause’ of Liberty and Justice for all today!
God bless everyone!
The MacArthurs were known as McArtairs up in Scotland. Their battle cry was “Listen, O ye, listen!” That originated from their ancestor, King Artair [King Arthur] [according to their belief]. His descendents travelled north to Scotland.
General Douglas MacArthur was far more brilliant than most historians can perceive. He was one of the few high level officers in WWI to actually enter the front lines and see the battlefield for himself. He quickly learned that the Germans did not anchor their flanks. He was able to byppass “trench warfare” time and again by skirting the fortified trenches. That was what made him so successful in his younger years.
FDR called MacArthur his “conscience” if I recall correctly. He and the general had several shouting matches. MacArthur fought tooth and nail from keeping the military from being completely scuttled prior to WWII. His primary influence was to maintain the officers. After one key fiery row, he threw up outside the Whitehouse. Shortly after that, MacArthur and FDR needed space.
MacArthur’s next strategy was to make the Phillipines a major bombing base, defended by a massive militia force. From those islands, we could strafe Japan’s supply routes and cut Japan off from vital oil and other important necessities. But FDR skimped on his promises.
The leftwing media which would later defend Algar Hiss also hated MacArthur with a passion. They made things up about him out of whole cloth.
After regrouping in Australia, Marshall skimped on his supplies and support. Many of MacArthur’s men blamed the general. Despite that, MacArthur was able to take land with fewer losses per square mile than the well supplied navy. The difference is shocking. Being out of the loop, his advice sometimes appeared to be out of whack with reality, but that was the fault of FDR’s men.
A side note, the ancestor of Harold Ickes [Clintonista fame] had designs on ruling the Philipines. MacArthur, however, refused to break his promise.
He later brilliantly guided Japan to the Free World. After that, MacArthur defied overwhelming odds when he led his men on a bold and stunning string of victories in Korea. You may notice that the reason MacArthur is fired is fuzzy. That’s because Truman needed the reason to be fuzzy.
And a big THANK YOU to Freeper FreedomsWorthIt for all the great American history lessons in her “The American Minute” posts! Thanks friend!
