“Feed your horses, feed your men, feed your officers, then feed yourself”

— Civil War dictum for cavalry commanders.

Its more then a quote, its one of the finer points of leadership though I never knew its point of origin. I have followed this principle for so long it carried over to dinner with the Wife, kids (when they were in the house) and when we have guests. I'm pretty sure I step off with my left foot first most of the time too. Lol

“There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.”
– General George S. Patton Jr.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.
Margaret Thatcher


I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.
Margaret Thatcher

Every family should have the right to spend their money, after tax, as they wish, and not as the government dictates. Let us extend choice, extend the will to choose and the chance to choose.
Margaret Thatcher

I am tired of talk that comes to nothing It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and all the broken promises. There has been too much talking by men who had no right to talk.
It does not require many words to speak the truth.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — What a California lawmaker intended as a benign resolution honoring a late, world-renowned movie icon exploded into an emotional debate over decades-old racist comments Thursday.
The state Assembly defeated the official ode to John Wayne after several legislators described statements he made about racial minorities and his support for the anti-communist House Un-American Activities Committee and John Birch Society.




the HELL with California.....hopefully all the good folks will leave before the big quake & tidal wave that they so richly deserve hits...

Now that the PC Police search for historical content and play it against the race card of today. They will stir this "new review" of history until the Dukes statue is removed and the airport renamed for some minority "hero".

Why do people cut open their old wounds then cry look what you, they, did XX or XXX years ago: I'm offended again/now and want action?

 

[Rapier]

Seems to me that these politicians in CA would look at the life, for example, most of this was caused by a hispanic. All of John wives, as far as I know were hispanic, so he obviously hated hispanics as his kids are at least half hispanics. Now that objection is just stupid.

“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat…You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."
Winston Churchill
