Thank you, Florence

I prefer nurses over doctors. After a lot of years being a patient with a lot of visits to clinics and hospitals that is my preference.

Although I have never served in the military, I almost became a Marine. My life would have been radically different.

Many relatives, however, did serve, from the American Revolution to the Second World War. Some did not make it back home. So thank you, Florence Blanchfield, a pioneering nurse.

“A leader will either contaminate with his cowardice or inspire by his example.” — General Hal Moore

“In the smoke and noise of battle surrounded by the screams of the wounded and dying, a leader will either contaminate with his cowardice or inspire by his example.” — General Hal Moore

I absolutely love that man,” said Randall Wallace, writer of Braveheart and director of We Were Soldiers. “He taught me great things. He had so many ways of teaching in the concise things he’d say. One of the things I rely on every time I direct is something he said to me — ‘In the smoke and noise of battle surrounded by the screams of the wounded and dying, a leader will either contaminate with his cowardice or inspire by his example.’ Every man who followed Hal Moore was a hero. He was the kind of leader who showed men the heroism in their hearts.”

Hillary Clinton says that Trump will politicize the IRS & military. She’s upset because that’s HER job.

Lois Lerner, anyone?

Warnings from Hillary Clinton that Donald Trump will politicize the IRS and military to punish the opposition are especially brazen.

It is the modern Democrat Party politicizing the government, seeking out ways to harass and shutdown conservatives. It is the Democrats who want social engineering and experimentation in the military. I mean transgendered troops? Really? How is that gonna help unit cohesion?

Remember Lois Lerner, and the targeting of numerous conservative nonprofit groups by the IRS? There is evidence that this was a coordinated effort, perhaps even with White House input. Lerner visited the White House on many occasions.

Hillary, like so many leftists, in her attack on Trump is telegraphing precisely the lows she would stoop to counter the conservative threat. It is the Democrats who go to whatever lengths to combat their political opponents. The ends justify the means.

What does Saul Alinsky, who Hillary met and idolized, say about it?

Here are two of his rules:

“The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”

“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
