Not always, but ofttimes, the cream rises to the top.
Ike was a mixed bag when it comes to history. As I grew older and delved more into his life there were many facets that MSM had never passed on for whatever reason.
I say mixed because,he used the system for his own advancement at others expense, but then as he retired as President he blew the whistle on the MIC which opened the eyes of a great deal of Americans. For that I give him great credit.
Patton was a magnificent warrior. My uncle served under and worshipped him.
But, IMHO, he was about half a head job. Eisenhower was one hell of an executive and leader of men. Not always, but ofttimes, the cream rises to the top.
Oh, if you go to FRetard City, their vote is Lincoln. George Bush, and his father, are fascist fuckwads, and Obama is going to put the kid in jail.
What makes you think Obama will do any of the sort? I saw Obama on the Dem debate this weekend. He did not impress me whatsoever with his milquetoast say nothing meaningful approach. I don't understand why people are caught up with the guy. He seems the younger and skinnier preppier version of the nice but not too smart Bill Richardson. Of all the Dem candidates - though I can't stand him because he's a slimey trial lawyer - John Edwards is by far the smartest and the smoothest and frankly the most all- American looking of the lot.
I had an Uncle that was in a Third Army infantry div with Patton. He was the oldest private in the div, only the first shirt and CO were older. He had been drafted two weeks before his 39th birthday. Before his death he told me how difficult it was for him to keep up with the teenagers as they followed Patton across Europe. Then he floored me with, "I never once fired my rifle", when the kids ran, I ran, when they hit the dirt I hit the dirt".

Mekons4:Yeah, Harvard Law grads are all stupid morons. Jesus, you are just ridiculous. Go vote Repuke, and get what you deserve.
Why would I be so naive to think you could or would reply in any fashion other than your signature Dembot apparatchik self?
Actually on another thread I had posted the following message which reveals that I am just as hard on the mainstream "repukes" as you call them as I am to the Dem dimwits. Btw, not all Harvard Law School applicants are accepted based on their stellar LSAT scores and undergraduate grades. You probably know this but you can never miss an opportunity to be rude to anyone not in lockstep with your uber left wing perspectives.
Here's my post from the other thread:
"Thanks, cyni. The more I learn about certain Presidents the more I am disillusioned. The good guys get snuffed or passed over and the evil ones win. In recent elections the choices we've had for Presidential candidates have been between evil or more evil. I really hope that once RP goes as far as he can go with the neoconTrotskyite GOP, that he considers runnning as an Independent 3rd Party. We really really need him in the White House. The mainstream sh*t that are running in the GOP/Dem are all scary or not very interesting. The GOP guys we know to be knaves and scoundrels but the Dems are just as bad in slightly different ways. When I watched the tail end of the Dem debate, I thought to myself - my God, there's slimey but very smart Edwards then there's the PTB annointed hormonal shrill Hillary, and jovial but not too smart Richardson, and finally there was Obama with his goofy glazed eyes saying nothing for fear of saying something that would spoil his astonishing popularity - I have no idea why people rave about Obama - he does not impress me whatsoever - he's very polite and seemingly sweet but anytime he opens his mouth I wonder how did this guy get accepted into Harvard??? Obama projects a bit of the Richardson pleasant but not too intellectually swift aura. "

Speaking of mobs; have you seen the one surrounding Anderson Cooper on CNN tonight? They are LIVE from Manchester, and Paul supporters have them encircled with HUGE Ron Paul signs.

About 8 million Germans were "liquidated" in the aftermath of WWII. The Nuremburg Trials were Show Trials little different from Stalin's Show Trials. Albert Speer
That's a remarkable statement.
I am not saying its untrue, I have not been exposed to it before.
Can you point me in a direction to educate myself on the issue
We humans must love bloody catastrophes because we cause them so frequently.

And an idiotic one. Stormfront says this shit all the time, And an idiotic one. Stormfront says this shit all the time, implying that Jews killed them.
Mek... It seems you cannot even remember what you wrote a few minutes ago.
hahaha, you really are a little bitty nazi, aren't you? One collaborator does not mean that the Jews killed themselves. You really should go back to Germany. Although they would put you in jail.
What am I to gather from all of that other than you did manage to learn to cut and paste in law school?
Mekons is not an attorney. He cut and pasted from rankings of law schools from US News & World Report or from Princeton Review.
Every law school including Harvard sets aside a quota for Affirmative Action applicants. In fact there was a research article published by a UCLA professor that studied some of the negative unintended consequences of affirmation action practised by elite law schools like Harvard and Stanford et al. Mekons is trying to avoid a discussion of the obvious. If you want to pursue this further, please cut and paste the following url - lots of embedded links.
Also there were remarks by a Harvard Law School student who attended at the same time that Obama did at Vdare - and the observations on the conundrum Obama faced perhaps not being black enough and how he remedied the problem. Observations on what is revealed in Obama's book too - shallow comes to mind. It's laughable to pretend that Obama is a genius because he attended Harvard Law School. Come on.
Showing your shallow intellectual nature again. The war crimes criminal was a part of the German government from start to finish and you let your own hatred and bias blind you from learning anything.
Um, that Barack Obama graduated from a better school than, say, Ann Coulter did? Snicker.
Law schools generally attract assholes and those who are hungry for power, regardless of how expensive the tuition.

Not going to back up your total bullshit, are you? Pathetic. Worthless. Ignorant. That's you, for starters.
Um, note that Obama took a job after law school that paid $25K a year, when he was offered jobs on Wall St. that paid 10 times that.
And now he wants a job that gives him control of homeland security and the nuclear launch codes. Nope...no power there to lust after.
Ignorant.
Cunt.

Going to continue to avoid your statement that Harvard Law School is a bad school and no one there gets through the bar exam? Just keep ducking. And at least I didn't call you a redneck cocksucker baby raper, like someone called me. Apart from the redneck...I think it was Cook County cocksucker liberal motherfucker, IIRC.
Um, note that Obama took a job after law school that paid $25K a year, when he was offered jobs on Wall St. that paid 10 times that. Ignorant.
Perhaps Obama recognized his intellectual limitations at the time. Better to work at a job one can handle than risk being revealed as an AA empty suit at a high powered Wall Street law firm.
So of course everyone who runs for president is power mad, psycho, Dr. Strangelove? Go ahead, tell me why YOUR candidate is not. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
