| It was Lincoln who said "Give me a general who will fight!" That was after the North was defeated over and over again by Robert E. Lee´s smaller and more agile armies. Lincoln´s first generals fought desperately hard, but not hard enough to win. In the upshot, the Civil War dragged out to became our bloodiest war ever, 600,000 dead -- mostly white folks. And yes, it was triggered by Christian Abolitionists who made slavery morally intolerable to half the nation. Lincoln was therefore forced to find generals who would fight, and he found Sherman and Grant, who wreaked terrible destruction

Generals who won´t fight ordering their troops not to shoot at the enemy.
G-d help the free world.
We have a traitor in the white house.

Excellent article with great historical context. The comments after it are equally enlightening. I know that God watches over the US, and I pray that He will guide us in the right direction. I also pray that on 20 Jan 2017 we still HAVE a country for a American President to lead.

I don´t understand how anyone could put the "sensibilities" of muslims over the safety of our men and women, but that is evidently the consensus of thought by the men in command who send their men and women to walk the patrols twice a day. Apparently, this only accomplishes the maiming and killing of Americans. The only thing that will change the hearts and minds of the jihadists of the world is releasing the unrelenting hell of the U.S. military on them to such a degree that they are decimated and defeated. Until we reach that mindset, we will continue to sacrifice our young men and women on the altar of political warfare and Muslim sensibilities. Unleash the military or bring them home.

Down through the years we have been able to defeat militaries that were full of suck-up leadership too fearful of making a decision without checking in with the dictator or his right hand man. This is even worse!

I´d prefer all US military who would NOT fire on fellow citizens.
Does anyone really connect the horror of Lincoln to today and what that would look like, implemented by 0bama?
When will Lincoln be seen as the monster he was? Maybe when we have the modern day equivalent using those hollow-points he has been amassing on us conservatives, the current enemy.

Great article. When America is not patrolling its beat around the world the world is soon in chaos i.e. WWI and WWII. Obama´s weakness will be challenged in the next four years, and when he surrounds himself with Flag Officers who are Politically Correct Yes Men who rolled over on gays and now are ready to water down combat standards to the point young girls can be pushed to front line combat units, disaster is soon to follow. Weak Generals and admirals added to Obama´s thinking he is the smartest guy in the room will lead to the deaths of our finest young people and a disaster of magnitude Americans have never seen before.

Mr. Obama wants obedient generals (as well as other Citizens), so the capable and independent types have to be removed. Stalin did this in purges of the Red Army in the late 1930s, so that the Army would be his instrument rather than a potential power rival. Mother Russia paid the bill in the blood of millions against Hitler, until courage and fighting spirit were again permitted by the central dictatorship.

#2, at your suggestion I read some of the comments after the excellent article, and one struck a note with me because I have noticed this in my church, which is an evangelical version of a mainline church. Even one of my pastors is kind of caught up in it and I am concerned.
From commenter amerigal1 who voiced her feelings in her Sunday school class said: Islam has malevolent plans for Jews and Christians. I just can´t keep from repeating the awful truth about the insidious "interfaith bridges" that some Christian churches are falling for.
While the Great Commission, which my pastors love to tout, Matthew 28:16-20, Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.,I don´t think Jesus meant for us to abdicate to a false "religion of peace" that intends to wipe out all Christians and Jews.
As another commenter, diane+tx said:ISLAM is the global problem. It doesn´t need to be parsed into "peaceful", "moderate" or "radical". The stated goal of Islam is to make the entire World Islamic.
They say it over and over again. So why don´t we believe them?
Also why don´t we believe that Obama agrees with that? So what if he took his oath on a stack of Bibles - I imagine he had his fingers crossed, liar that he is.

"...Obama is a gambler, and he doesn´t want to think about what might happen if his wild gambles don´t pay off."
I disagree. Obama is a cookie-cutter appeaser.
What he is doing is what every appeaser in power will do. There is no gambling involved, because appeasers never consider outcomes, which are 100% failure.

In one of his more well-publicized gaffes, Vice President Biden said of John McCain: "Look, John´s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." Actually, of course, it´s a four-letter word, and it was his job and the president´s to create a climate for job expansion, and they failed. The evidence is now overwhelming: they have created the worst employment climate in decades.

When your article inspires a big-city mayor to refer your case to a "human-relations commission," you know you´ve hit a nerve. And when that article is the recent "Being White in Philly" piece by liberal Robert Huber, you know it doesn´t take much truth to hit that nerve. That´s the scary part. Huber´s article contains mostly tepid examples of whites´ negative experiences with blacks and primarily black neighborhoods, such as a Philadelphia resident whose grill was stolen from her backyard but "blames herself" for not fencing it in. Its tone is basically apologetic, absolving a drug dealer of responsibility

Boehner also said that he and Obama have a good relationship, and that they are "open with each other ... honest with each other." I know it sounds unbelievable, so watch this 22-second video.

That´s something to remember when you arrive there next week. Israel has a government, elected by its people in a free, fair, open and democratic election. Multiple parties representing widely divergent points of view met a wildly diverse electorate through free media and open debate. This is no stultified two-party affair with a libertarian insurgency. Israel will be the only country you visit in the region, this time or any other, that has a fully democratic system. Do not be swayed by the "apartheid" slander. Citizens of Israel are Jews, Moslems, Christians, and Druze, each with religious and non-religious elements.

Prodded by a president with a weakness for racial agitation and enabled by a politically complicit media, the State of Florida persists in a prosecution that can come to no good end. The defendant is neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. The charge is the second-degree murder. The potential outcomes range from major injustice, if Zimmerman is convicted, to mayhem in the streets, if he´s acquitted. And the state plods on as though the angels were on its side. They are not. The witnesses to the February 2012 shooting of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin are proving even more troublesome

The political world changed its orbit Wednesday as Rand Paul seized the spotlight in his March 6 filibuster. Rand Paul -- not this author´s favorite before -- is probably now the 2016 front-runner for president. But the difference results from fundamental changes in substance. How can one day be that big of a deal? Because Rand Paul demonstrated a reproducible, winning formula. It was as if Ronald Reagan were granted just one day to come back to Earth to remind the Party of Lincoln of "how it´s done." Rand demonstrated a repeatable formula that all Republicans can copy.

Sixty-three months ago Barack Obama officially declared his candidacy for President. Only now are some among the so-called media and ruling elites in America slowly awakening from their self-induced infatuation and beginning to understand who he is. It has become difficult to ignore the overt intimidation, demagoguery and deliberate falsehoods spewed forth by Obama relative to sequestration -- a miniscule cut in the growth of federal spending. However, any cursory examination of his past reveals that these tactics are second nature to the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.

Years ago, when I used to play poker with some guys, I played a hand in which across the table from me was someone who looked as though he had a straight flush. He kept pumping up the bidding and everyone folded but me. When we finally showed our hands he had nothing. "You don´t know what you´re doing," he yelled. "Any good player would have folded! Why did you stay in?" he shouted angrily. "Because you curled your lip and reacted furiously when I stayed in. Someone with a winning hand would never do that."

By law, on Friday the executive must begin to cut $85 billion from federal spending. Though, as is his wont, the president is blaming the Republicans for what he claims is a draconian measure. No less a Washington chronicler of events than Bob Woodward of the Washington Post considers that a gross distortion of the truth [T]he automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of [Treasury Secretary nominee Jack] Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors -- probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.

Too little serious conservative analysis of the 2012 presidential campaign has yet appeared. This is understandable. The results of the election were disheartening to the point of shock. The campaign defied all historical precedent, all commonsense interpretation. The Romney ticket should not have lost and did not deserve to lose. The Democrats, fielding the least worthy ticket in the past century -- and that´s saying something -- did not deserve to win. The reasons they did are myriad and complex. But before we get too far down the road, there is one lesson that has to be grasped:

No, I´m not talking about Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael (God rest Michael´s tortured soul). I´m talking about the Chicago Jacksons, Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. The Jackson 5 in their heyday gave plenty: music, entertainment, and joy to their fans. The Chicago Jacksons are another story. Jesse Sr. (The Right Reverend) and his son (the erstwhile congressman) have done a lot more taking than giving. "Taking" may be too charitable a word. Shaking down and wheedling may be better descriptors for the Chicago Jacksons´ acts.

By now you likely have heard that Chris Rock considers Barack Obama America´s father. If that is true, then would somebody call Child Protective Services and find us foster parents! For Chris Rock, America´s true Founding Fathers were disappointingly white. I suspect that whatever the color of America´s Founding Fathers might have been, they would not have approved of having a failure like Obama among their esteemed membership. Thought the Founding Fathers had many flaws, they were smart enough to eliminate the self-indulgent institution of slavery from America´s future.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
