The Left storming the White House is a more realistic scenario.

You are making the somewhat unwarranted assumption that there will be a White House to storm, or a Capital for the Loony Left to hold their hearings in. More likely there won't be. The CongressCritters and other political types might survive, given that this is end of summer recess time and most are out in the districts, or on fully funded "fact finding" visits to choice vacation spots outside the country.

True...It takes a keen eye, and a hackers mentality and skill to be able to see if anything is too this website...

Like I said, I do not fear these slime, even the ones who are serious about doing the world harm...

Its all a shell game...And whats funny, is trying to figure out who is really the shuffler of the shells...I have a gut feeling about who may be behind and maintaining a few of these "extremist" islamic websites...

Cool! You be the subtle cop and I'll be the "whack 'em with a 20 pound hammer" cop. A finer team couldn't be asked for.

LOL! We'd be kind of like kind of like SledgeHammer and his Gun! Do you remember that show? It was short-lived, but this cop treated his 9mm, (I think) like the Lone Ranger treated his horse!

So we're pinging lots of articles now since we don't have HL anymore? Is anyone going through withdrawals? ;-)

Patton was a quintesential warrior as you probably know much better tha I. He was also a mystic, but I believe he would have spent little time in wool gathering or contemplating his navel. He did dream and he did have what might have been memories from past lives, or were they merely delusions of an overly dedicated mind? We will never know for sure. Much of his intuition in battle cannot be logically explained today. Some say perhaps he acted from the kind of experience that most cannot accumulate in just one lifetime. But that idea has been denegrated.

I have enjoyed your knowledgeable posts immensely!

Patton's biography backs up many of your observations. The one thing I did not realize was the heretical nature of Patton's feelings about being a born Warrior - or maybe I chose to ignore them.

I am going to delve deeper into some of the concepts you have opened up to me. Simplistically, I had believed he was guided by God. Not all mystics are inwardly contemplative - Moses or even Noah would be examples of, I guess "proactive mystic" would be the term?

Pattons could have been guided by knowledge given by God in dreams. (I myself believe God speaks to believers in dreams. That if we listen well, we will be guided well).

Thank you for all of your kind words.

Guess I'd better get back on subject now, maybe some day there will be a thread dedicated to Patton and I can "bloviate" all I want. LOL!

I will print the poem you sent, and will frame it and put it on my den wall.

Wow, I'm honored. I hope you touch it up a bit! The first verse is lost in my own commentary due to bad HTML!

A little...

I just hate the idea of losing 2 years of banter if we have to reload the only saved portion of the website dating back to 2004...

Red1 will not even have been a probationary member at that time...

There's got to be a way to jump start the site without reloading an old archived version...

g'nite...

Todays Generals are not the problem !

Today's domestic & international political climate is the problem !

The West has lost the will to impose 'order' onto the current situation.

If the 'modern weapons' shoe was on the Islamic world's foot and we were as dysfunctional & disorderly to 'The Peace' as they are, how long would our religion, it shrines and any shred of sovereignty last?

To the Islamists western compassion is viewed as weakness, respect is views as Western timidity, etc in short there is no common set of values to negotiate from.
This is something the liberals refuse to admit. There are just enough liberals to prevent us from sufficient(and therefore stern!) reactions to the Islamist threat. The threat will continue maybe eventually to our long term detriment.

My sincere apologies to todays Generals..no insult to them was intended (except Clark, maybe). I agree the climate today inhibits the top brass. Patton is my nostalgia for those days when we could actually fight a war.

The things islamists consider our weakness, such as compassion, willingness to see every viewpoint, etc. is holding us back.

We must not show the enemy compassion, we should not attempt to understand their viewpoint, why they hate us...none of that! We should DESTROY them without regard to "collateral" damage that they themselves place in our path.

Todays General can not make the decision to abandon those things which are distasteful to mere civilians. They are bound by political correctness, and will be until terror is commonplace on these shores.

If terror finds it's way here, this Country will experience war first hand, not in front of the TV, it is then that PC will be thrown out the window and a new Patton can arise.

Thanks for the ping, going to FOX right quick..

Thank you for your kindness, Certainly Abraham was one. He is discussed thoroughly in that context by Zacharia Sitchin.

Another from Tibet is Gesar of Ling. From Scotland/Ireland there is Scathach, the woman who trained Cuchulain and who some say Scotland is named after ( Scathland).

IN Japan there are so many, Miyamoto Mushashi and Yamaoka Tesshu in the realtively modern era. China: Wong Fay Hung. India: Ashoka Maharaja.You can look up any of these on the web. I am sure you will be quite fascinated by then=m as I am.

These societies are ancient compared to ours, but we have Washington, Green, Knox and Patton, men who somehow were able to act far beyond their native experience.We are such a young nation but have been blessed with such men. It is my heart wish that such men are still with us today.

Thank you again.

You can look up any of these on the web. I am sure you will be quite fascinated by then=m as I am.

And that I will do! I am fascinated, and well able to get beyond the fact that there are societies and/or religions other than my own, that have produced great men.

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I loook forward to future discussions that may come of this.

I don't

Yes, but look at it this way. They can set up an "emergency" site somewhere and only tell the people they choose to about it, thereby excluding the ones they don't want. Just don't think about the fact that those people are human and have feelings.

And it'll be on the "emergency" site that HL's site being repaired will be announced, so that only the desireables will know.

Utopia! The undesireables have been properly snubbed and eliminated.

But of course, nobody on there would do anything like that would they?

Thought I wouldn't find out? Yeah, it's always good to be "underestimated."

[SlayerOfBunnies]

Lol - nope. Never saw it but I think I like the concept. :-)

Yer too cool...And Shmart!
