“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” Teddy Roosevelt 1917
Today, June 14th is Flag Day. The Stars and Stripes. Not a Mexican flag, not the flag of Texas, not the Stars and Bars, but the red, white and blue with 50 stars. Fly it proudly each and every day.

Teddy meant that sh*t too. Too bad we've got all these PC asswipes on TV and in the government trying to let any f**ker on earth in the country.

Yeah, it's too bad that we can't dig his ass up and clone him, Patton and Black Jack Pershing!
Pershing would have these muslim asswipes running for the hills. In the Phillipines in 1909 there was a muslim uprising on the island on Mindinao. Pershing had his troops capture 50 muslim fighters. He lined up 49 of them, had his soldiers dip their bullets in pigs blood and execute them. Then he had them thrown into a pit and had the blood, intestines and carcasses of the pigs thrown into the pit with them and buried. Then he spread some more of the pigs blood over the dirt. He then told the remaining muslim to go and tell his cohorts that if there were any more attacks that he would do the same to any of them that were captured. There were no muslim terrorist attacks for over 40 years! That's how you negotiate with muslims! ;D

It's not that our generals wouldn't do it. They would be prosecuted and crucified by the bleeding heart, hand wringing, trembling lipped liberal politicians if they did!
After World War 1, a certain english prime minister said that "War is too important to be left to the military." At the time he was correct. Look at the mess that was trench warfare. Hundreds and thousands of men fighting and dying for 5 feet of land. Then the German Wehrmacht demonstrated that static defenses were a thing of the past with magnificent results.(Of course the French were not much of a military force at the time.)
Now, all of the politicians care about is not harming any civilians and appeasing the enemy.(Look how that worked for Neville Chamberlain!) ;D
The war on terror in which we are now engaged, there are no innocent civilians. There are no uniforms to designate an enemy combatant. They hide amongst the civilian population. The commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan know where these scumbags are, but they dare not hit them with the needed ferocity for the fear of being prosecuted by our own leaders.
The civilian leadership is so out of touch with the fighting that needs to be done and how to do it, the motto now should be "War is too important to be left to the politicians!"
