"The difference between an honorable man and a moral man is that an honorable man regrets a discreditable act even when it has worked and he is in no danger of being caught." ~ H. L. Mencken
No United States president since Abraham Lincoln dared to go against the system and create his own money, as many of these so called elected presidents were actually only instruments or puppets of the Bankers. That is until President John F Kennedy came into Office.
Just perhaps someone will decide to take matters in their own hands. When that happens the government will then get to use all those laws to instill fear in Americans.
Let it be known that Warmonger Hannity is the first in retreat.

I know less about Ike as I have not dug into his background other than what I learned reading about Patton. Patton opposed the Death Camps that were set up AFTER WWII to liquidate the German POWs and IKE supported them. 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 had his balls crushed to extract his confession. Prisoners were routinely tortured and I recall one German General (name eludes me at the moment) who signed a confession written in English when he was known only to speak German.
I didn't know about the Death Camps and 8 Million German POW's being murdered there after the war. Do you recall which books you read which revealed this scandal - and Ike approved the idea. What a horrid man!
Eisenhower was glad hander from day one of his military life. After West Point he latched onto General Fox Connor and used him to further his career into the right jobs.
Eisenhower was always junior to Patton until WW2 when he leaped over Patton and dozens of others, thanks to Marshall and Baruch.

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.
Another overlooked aspect of Kennedy's attempt to reform American society involves money.
And don't forget the other overlooked aspect of Kennedy was that he wanted to treat Israel ( aka Precioussssss)as a separate nation from us and a nation which needed to abide by UN rules - nuclear inspections. Kennedy's AmericaFirst approach to T.H.E. thug state was not very popular in certain quarters.

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.
Republicans (Democrats for that matter) ....... HAD ENOUGH?
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.

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:

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.

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.
