Calling this “Pickett’s Charge” give’s the Obama Pel Reiden team way to much credit! These fellow travellers deserve not comparison to whom came on top of Traveller, but rather to what Traveller left beneath him; and their troops deserve none of the honor of Pickett’s men. Pickett’s charge was an anomaly, a rare mistaken order by Robert E. Lee, yet was carried out honorably by those so ordered, in the best tradition of Western warfare. This is no anomaly. Better to call it the Democrats’ “Banzai Charge,” as it employs their usual desperation tactic in search of their usual red targets! Fortunately the proper model for conservatives against such tactics is having his story retold Sunday on HBO’s “Pacific” series, John Basilone on Guadalcanal. Keep firing gang, from every position you can find, and don’t let up! One man CAN make a difference!

My prose in #16 was clumsy. This is better:
Calling this “Pickett’s Charge” gives the Obama Pel Reiden team too much credit! Pickett’s charge was an anomaly, a rare mistaken order by Robert E. Lee, yet it was executed honorably by those so ordered. These fellow travellers deserve not comparison to whom Traveller carried forward, but rather to what left Traveller's behind. In receipt of asinine orders, their troops, braying assertions rather than braving assent, deserve none of the honor of Pickett’s men.

This is no anomaly, it's their standard behavior. Better to call it the Democrats’ “Banzai Charge.” Media blaring, stampeding their dotty team toward red dreams! Fortunately the proper model for conservatives against such tactics, John Basilone on Guadalcanal, is having his story retold Sunday on HBO’s “Pacific” series. Keep firing gang, from every position you can find, and don’t let up! One man CAN make a difference!
