Democrats Used to Support the Military respecting the Civilian Commander in Chief








 

I Hope the Republicans Helping President Trump just Aren't Spying on Him

#TheDesertRats document strategy to combat German tanks during WWII

"The Desert Rats" document UK strategy to combat German tanks in WWII in North Africa theater:




"Therefore, our plan of defense is based chiefly on the belief that Rommel will attack here. You gentlemen will have the honor of being the first to expose the blitzkrieg for what it is -- a highly limited tactical maneuver.  I propose to let Rommel's tanks come through here...unopposed. You infantry commander will engage and stop all German infantry here at the perimeter leaving the tanks to proceed up this avenue alone.  Colonel White will have moved as much artillery as he can spare to line both sides of this avenue.  Across here, we are already digging positions for the captured Italian field pieces. So, the longer we hold our fire the deeper Rommel's tanks will advance into this box and the easier they will be to destroy."

looks identical to German strategy used to oppose US tanks in WWI via Blumenson, Martin. The Patton Papers: 1885-1940. Vol. II. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1972. First, on p. 716, Patton seems to anticipate the development of the German blitzkrieg strategy:


"advanced his thought on tank doctrine almost to the blitzkrieg concept...once the tanks and infantry, working together, crossed the line of trenches composing the forward enemy defenses, thereby breaking the hostile defensive positions, the tanks ought to take advantage of their mobility and exploit the victory."


Then, on pp 666-667, German WWI defensive strategy anticipate the British defense described above, of holding fire against tanks to shoot at softer infantry targets:

"Every time Patton or Angelo moved and exposed himself, German soldiers in a railroad cut about 40 yards away fired at them.

After a while that seemed like eternity, some tanks came by....The appearance of the tanks prompted a decline in the level of intensity of the enemy fire -- no machine gunner in his right mind was going to expose his position to the tank guns...a few more tanks passed nearby. Patton again sent Angelo to attract the tankers' attention and tell them where to go. Compton was in one of those tanks, and, following Angelo's directions, placed a few well-aimed shells and silenced a machine gun that had been harassing the two men"

Charlie Rose NPR voice vs Iranian nuke program apologist

Family Guy goofed on annoying faux soothing NPR voice:




and, not as surprisingly, Alex Jones, infowars guy, also goofed on NPR:




Charlie Rose, just being himself, seriously used his stupid NPR voice whilst listening to some Iranian mullah apologist try to justify the Holocaust denying nation acquisition of nuclear weapons on his 1/9/2014 show:





I have to compliment the Iranian dude, tho. He was able to simultaneously slag off Israel's right to exist without actually mentioning Israel by name, treating it like a Hogwarts student does "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" Lord Voldemort.

So even tho this tweet is probably a just joke:






notice how the Iranian Ambassador refuses to wear a necktie, presumably, because he disagrees with liberal imam from Islam Today and believes that neckties really are a tool of the evil Christian Great Satan Haberdashers:


Question
Some people say that it is unlawful for Muslim men to wear neckties, since they claim that the necktie has its origins in Christian religious traditions and that it symbolizes the cross. On the other hand, there are people who say that a Muslim man can even wear silk neckties - though silk is forbidden for men - because the tie is not actually worn directly on the body. What is the correct ruling on men's neckties?
Answered by
Sheikh Salman al-Oadah
I do not see anything wrong with Muslim men wearing neckties, because the necktie is no longer a distinguishing mode of dress for the unbelievers. It is now a part of the Muslims’ dress in many Muslim countries like Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Morocco...etc. Therefore, the purpose of forbidding it does not exist. Even if it is something that originated among non-Muslims, anything that becomes global ceases to belong to any specific civilization.

It is not permissible for men to wear a necktie made of silk. Silk is forbidden for men, whether worn direct on the body, around the neck, or over the head. All of these are different ways of wearing something.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) took a piece of silk in his right hand and a piece of gold in his left, held them aloft, and said: “These are forbidden for the men of my people and permitted for the women.” [Sunan Ibn Mâjah]
Patton got fired from his job in post WWII Germany after comparing Nazis to Democrats and Republicans:





but Charlie Rose still keeps his 10 million jobs after comparing the Iranian theocracy to Western democracies:

 
ICYMI, all the candidates in an Iranian "election" are per-screened by their theocratic mullahs, so Charlie Rose's analogy is just completely absurd.

And, finally, from Captain Obvious:

Charlie Rose Islamo-Fascist Apologist

Charlie Rose on 1/8/14 show interviewed Iranian UN Ambassador and compared Iranian theocracy to US democracy:




Comparing US political parties to fascist factions got General George Patton reassigned:


Gen. George S. Patton tells reporters that he does not see the need for "this denazification thing" and compares the controversy over Nazism to a "Democratic and Republican election fight."


Patton had many gifts, but diplomacy was not one of them. After the war, while stationed in Germany, he criticized the process of denazification, or the removal of former Nazi party members from positions of political, administrative, and governmental power, probably out of naivete more than anything else. Nevertheless, his impolitic press statements questioning the policy resulted in Eisenhower's removing him as U.S. commander in Bavaria. He was transferred to the 15th Army Group.

Seems Charlie Rose is equally impolitic, as far as US national interests are concerned, in promoting moral equivalency between US secular democracy and Iran's theocracy. Would Charlie Rose like a US system where Pat Robertson vetoes candidates is US elections like the Shia mullahs in their Guardian Council do in Iran?

General Patton Loved Dressage



Before ABC became a Communist network (teasing, only slightly) they used to be a pro-American, patriotic station that aired pro-US docu-dramas, one of which, Miracle of the White Stallions (1963), described how General George Patton saved the Lipizzaner horses during WWII.







This would make sense, since before Patton was assigned to mechanized cavalry (tanks), he had been assigned to the horse cavalry:



After engaging in Brian Ross level of investigative journalism, aka, conducting a desultory internet search, I've decided to call Patton a Republican due to an alleged quote that he may or may not have made:

"Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth. Liberal Democrats are the lowest form of politician."
Admittedly, his ancestors fought for the wrong side in the US Civil War (boo hiss...aka for Jeff Davis) and thus, he might have been a Democrat, but I'll assume that he was a Republican, instead, for my ideological purposes of asserting that Patton served in a long line of awesome Republicans who preferred horses over donkeys, such as General Grant:



Theodore Roosevelt:


and, of course, the awesomest of all, Ronald Reagan:



I think that Democrats are monomaniacally obsessed with hating horses, since their stupid mascot mammal is a stupid donkey from Inside the Apple Friday, January 15, 2010 post "Thomas Nast's Democratic Donkey":





Democrats keep on repeating the false meme that the Romneys took a $77K tax deduction on their dressage horse, whilst Slate (left of center publication) has debunked this:

The Romneys reported $77,731 in "passive losses" related to their investment in Rob Rom Enterprises, but of that their account only deemed $50 to be actually eligible for deduction

The Romneys took a $77K loss, versus a deduction, minor detail, silly donkeys.


Additionally, the Romneys are subsidizing the US Olympic Team, which is completely privately funded, versus most countries who receive tax payer backing.

Lastly, as Neil Cavuto pointed out, Ann Romney uses  horse therapy for her MS, so leave her and her horse alone, silly donkeys.
