Reading history makes me nostalgic for a "better, vanished time" when America was led by men. That is men and women who did not evade facts. Who did not denigrate America, and its people, at every opportunity, including D-Day speeches on Omaha Beach. Who did not chronically apologize for the nation's existence. Who did not give the benefit of the doubt (and laptop computers) to the nation's sworn enemies.
One such real man was General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Unlike the creatures who now run America (and have for quite some time), Eisenhower did not think saboteurs and assassins in time of war merited lawyers, computers or constitutional rights. On 28 March 1945 Ike gave a press conference in Paris. Here is an interesting exchange:
In our current, degenerate time the Panderer-in-Chief not only tolerates American soldiers being murdered on American soil by agents of the global Jihad, he also clearly couldn't care less about it.

A Few Words From the Supreme Commander
Reading history makes me nostalgic for a "better, vanished time" when America was led by men. That is men and women who did not evade facts. Who did not denigrate America, and its people, at every opportunity, including D-Day speeches on Omaha Beach. Who did not chronically apologize for the nation's existence. Who did not give the benefit of the doubt (and laptop computers) to the nation's sworn enemies.
One such real man was General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Unlike the creatures who now run America (and have for quite some time), Eisenhower did not think saboteurs and assassins in time of war merited lawyers, computers or constitutional rights. On 28 March 1945 Ike gave a press conference in Paris. Here is an interesting exchange:
Question: Do you attach any importance to the civilians attacking American troops in the Third Army Sector?
Answer: I can tell you what I have told all my Army Commanders, for which I take full responsibility, that resistance of that kind will be dealt with sternly and on the spot. I will not tolerate civilians, people out of uniform bearing arms, firing on our troops. *
In our current, degenerate time the Panderer-in-Chief not only tolerates American soldiers being murdered on American soil by agents of the global Jihad, he also clearly couldn't care less about it.
