[Congressman Billybob]

The Democrats are doing their feeble imitation of the Charge of the Light Brigade. Egged on by incompetent leaders, they are beginning a fight which can only end in disaster. At least those who were sacrificed in the Light Brigade's doomed effort in the Crimean War came out of it with a legendary poem for their sacrifices.

The Democrats will come out of this one in a foolish position which will cost them a handful of seats in the House, and perhaps two seats lost in the Senate.

"Into the valley of Death rode the 500...."

"Into the valley of Death rode the 500...."

Oopsy, I think you goofed.

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

'Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns!' he said:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

Actually, there were 637 men involved of which 247 died.

Congratulation on the terific job you have done with the Alito/Kopechne connections.

I juat happened upon this thread, so am late with this.

You being a student of history are aware, I am sure, that the Light Brigade was part of the massive assistance rendered by the British Empire (officially Christian) to the Ottoman Empire (state religion Islam, which had massacred and persecuted Christians for centuries) against the Christian empire of Russia. That'w why the Charge of the Light Brigade is doubly tragic, in that they died valiantly defending evil.
