Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Nancy Pelosi Wants a ‘Strong Republican Party.’ Really, She Does. There’s Just One Catch.
Thursday, May 12, 2022
Robert Spencer - New in PJ Media: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Absolut) ventured deep into enemy
territory on Tuesday, traveling to Ron DeSantis country to speak at the
Aspen Ideas Climate Conference in Miami. While there, she sounded an
uncharacteristically generous tone, insisting (despite
the Left’s gallop toward authoritarianism, what with the Disinformation
Governance Board, the Jan. 6 Committee, the claim that “white
supremacists” are the biggest terror threat, and all the rest) that she
really wants a “strong Republican party.”

There’s just one catch: as far
as the sage House speaker is concerned, a “strong Republican party”
would be indistinguishable from the Democrat party.
Pelosi said this in the context of explaining that she hoped to
transform the Left’s climate agenda into a “bipartisan issue.” Turning
to the audience, she said in a confidential tone, “You don’t want me to
get too political here, do you?” To laughter, she continued:
I mean, the fossil fuel industry,
it — they weigh in so significantly. I mean, how could it be that nobody
on the Senate side cares — on the — in the Senate, cares about climate.
Some of them do, and they talk about it, when it comes to the votes, it
just isn’t there, there, just aren’t there. So rather than saying,
‘Well, we have to defeat them,’ no, let’s just try to persuade them. I
want the Republican party to take back the party, take it back to where
you were when you cared about a woman’s right to choose, and you cared
about the environment, and all, and all the great, all the —
Ah yes, the good old days when the Republican party was pro-abortion
and in favor of big government environmentalist meddling crippling the
American economy. When exactly was that?
