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."
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Condemning an "Islamophobic" Killer in New Mexico
Thursday, August 18, 2022
Front Page : Biden and Harris Rush to Condemn ‘Hate Crime,’ But ‘Islamophobic’ Killer is…A Muslim. The Left sticks to its narrative, no matter how often it blows up in its face.
The Left’s view of the world is a series of fictions, fantasies, and
delusions. Like all propaganda, this house of cards would collapse in a
second if it weren’t constantly shored up with what Leftists claim is
“evidence” or “proof” that their insanity — men can be women, Jan. 6 was
an insurrection, and the rest — is actually real.
And so when four
Muslims were shot dead in New Mexico, Old Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
rushed to condemn the killings and declare piously that “hate” has no
place in America. The “Islamophobia” narrative that Muslims are
particular victims of large-scale discrimination and harassment in the
U.S. needed shoring up. But when the killer was identified, the whole
thing blew up on the putative president and vice president. Not that
they’ll ever admit that.
Biden’s Twitter wonk tweeted
Sunday: “I am angered and saddened by the horrific killings of four
Muslim men in Albuquerque. While we await a full investigation, my
prayers are with the victims’ families, and my Administration stands
strongly with the Muslim community. These hateful attacks have no place
in America.”
Not to be outdone, on the same day, Harris tweeted:
“I am deeply disturbed by the killings of four Muslim men in
Albuquerque. As law enforcement continues to investigate these heinous
attacks, we remain clear that we stand with the Muslim community in New
Mexico and around our country. Hate has no place in America.”
New Mexico Sen. Martin Heinrich (a Democrat, of course) started the ball rolling on Friday when he tweeted:
“Muhammad Afzaal Hussain was a pillar in the UNM community and an
incredible force for good. I’m very concerned by law enforcement reports
that his murder may be linked to two other murders of Muslim men in
Albuquerque. Racist, hate-fueled violence has no place in New Mexico.”
Another Twitter user responded to Heinrich: “You misspelled christian white supremacist terrorism.”
