Oh contrare....

We need a Patton? You mean, a commander who was a third generation offspring of a wealthy military family? Although he suffered with dyslexia, he graduated from West Point in 1909. And during WW II, he commanded the Seventh Army in Sicily and later the Third Army in France and Germany and he attained the rank of General (4 stars).

We need a Grant? You mean, the man who even though he achieved fame on the battlefield, was particularly squeamish? Did you know Grant could not stomach the sight of animal blood and Rare steak nauseated him; he insisted that his meat be well done. He never touched fowl. “I could never eat anything that went on two legs,” he explained. He did not hunt, even as a boy in rural southern Ohio where shooting game was a favorite youthful past time. Grant was modest, self-effacing, soft-spoken, and mild-mannered. One biographer, W.E. Woodward, went so far as to suggest that he was bit effeminate. “Young Grant had a girl’s primness of manner and modesty of conduct,” he wrote. “There was a broad streak of the feminine in his personality. He was almost half-woman. But this strain was buried in the depths of his soul; it never came to the surface, except indirectly, and he was probably not aware of it himself.” Grant was somewhat prudish. He seldom used foul language. He disliked dirty jokes. And in the field he always bathed alone in a closed tent, never allowing even his aides to glimpse him naked. A serious, well-disciplined soldier, Grant spurned military pomp and pageantry. He was loyal to friends. A superstitious man, he believed it bad luck to retrace one’s steps. If he inadvertently walked beyond his destination, for example, he would not simply turn around and walk back down the same street, but rather would keep going further away from the place and return via another road.

Because if that’s your definition of what we need, Trump ain’t it, either. That you would think we need a nationalist, at this time in history, shows your very lack of knowing history.

Just because he’s saying things, does not make him realiable to follow through, ESPECIALLY, when the man flips and flops on EVERY issue. We need someone who is bold, yes. We need someone who does not bow to political correctness, but still has the humiliy and the dignity to behave with respect to the position he holds. As well, one who has respect for those he serves. We don’t need a King, we don’t want a King, we need someone to get the government out of our way and be a leader in the terms of being a good influence on society, not someone who insists he is the one to LEAD the government, and screw with anyone who doesn’t agree with how he does it, literally.

For someone who has spent the majority of his life, learning, studying, discussing, debating, literally fighting, for the Constitution and it’s framework, all the way up to the Supreme Court, he may be stiff at times, but he has all the qualities we need, at this time, to get this country back and turned away from a very evil place. Obama and Co. have taken us boldly to the left. We do not need a mush-middle candidate, like Trump. We need a bold candidate, to take us back to the right, like Cruz. And they doubted him to win in TX for Senator, and how’d that turn out?

Yeah. Not so much.

We’ll have to disagree.
