I, for one, will never forgive the Germans or trust them. As far as I know, the Germans have never asked the world’s forgiveness or apologized. They still owe the civilized world, basically the Allies, bigtime.

Nathan Bedford Forrest warned the soldiers at Fort Pillow three times to surrender or he would show them no quarter when he kicked their butts.

They had the poor sense to taunt him from behind the fortress's high walls and when he captured the fort and when the soldiers began to run he shot them all even the ones who jumped into the Mississippi River to try to escape.

These soldiers apparently did not know the meaning of quarter, which means to allow one to surrender peacefully.

Next fort NBF approached with the same terms wisely accepted the terms of surrender.

War, who would think it could ever be violent.

Forrest was a genius who inspired Rommel and Patton. He is the only General in the Civil War who began as a Private. He is discounted because he was on the losing side. Sherman was more brutal but winners don't have to apologize.

Anyone remember WAKE ISLAND? After the Japanese captured it they took all the US civilian work force there to the beach and shot them down.

I think if you go back and look at history, you'll find the true heroes of the ‘progressive’ mind set were vehemently racist.
With clear vision you will see the Ivory Tower set a bunch of foaming at the mouth klukkers.
But they were.
And they are.
Woodrow Wilson. If there is justice his shade will forever answer to the millions his insanity condemned.
If you would question what paves the road to hell, just look to the actions of academics who have gained positions of power.
Do not look to their honeyed words, nor to their panderings of the moment.
See them in the light of the legacy of their substantive action. With accurate perception, the racist progressives and their actions stand out, like a roach on a white tile floor.
I will not contend that there are not any true conservatives that are guilty of personal and private intolerance. Of all of the bonds a man may be subject to, the shackles of his upbringing can be the most formidable. But they restrain themselves and their darker spirits because they believe in the rule of law. They do not inflict our public discourse or policy with their self-admitted failings. And in it that they do not afflict the public square with their private maunderings, who are you to cast the first stone?
If you dare you can take issue with their greater intolerance to the fanaticism of these neo-Stalinists, or the roaring tide of Islamic totalitarianism.
Or any other group that would seek to drive us and divide us before the chaos of rampant particularism.
But then we shall know you for who you are.
