Ignorance, Sheer Ignorance

 

The Left is becoming a stronghold of ignorant yahoos:

 

Just outside downtown Dunn, N.C., a historic antebellum-style house honors Maj. Gen. William C. Lee, a hometown hero often described as the father of the U.S. Army’s airborne infantry. The World War II veteran served as the first commanding general for the 101st Airborne Division, nicknamed the “Screaming Eagles,” and helped plan the Allied forces’ D-Day invasion of Normandy.

He’s a widely respected, if somewhat obscure, military figure — which is why, after anonymous vandals attempted to torch a statue of him last week, museum officials concluded it had been a case of mistaken identity. They suspect that the perpetrators thought they were burning a memorial to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

The Nazis called the Screaming Eagles “Devils in Baggy Pants”. Every one in these miserable mobs haven’t got the guts to fight for America.
Freedom is better than speaking German.

Citizenship, patriotism, is good will for the common good. The law states that a person must give a good account of himself. These vandals must be brought to give a good account of themselves.

That’s what keeps you on your toes. The left is ever evolving, and you may well be condemned tomorrow for doing what the left told you to do today.
