The South is Right!
150 years after the great divide in America, reality seems to be proving hat the South was right on everything but slavery, lets look!
The Kennedy brothers, Donnie and Ron shook book stores across the land when their book The South Was Right boldly proclaimed a view which asserts that the original founders of America were right, and Lincoln and the progressives were wrong!

GyG: On von Steuben….
big (Photo credit: GunnyG1345)
Some of you may recall that a year or so ago I had viewed a program on the History Channel–or one similar to HC–on George Washington. One of the things that came up was that Wahington had Frederick William Baron von Steuben take charge of training for his new army. Out of this came “Baron von Steuben’s Revolutionary War Drill Manual,” otherwise known as the “Blue Book.”
The program I watched made the point that the position of the sergeant major in the battle formation provided that he would be in a position, in the rear, and was responsible for, among other duties, to prevent soldiers from fleeing, and even to shoot them when necessary. I had heard this before through the years, but I had never seen anything, in writing or otherwise, that would substantiate this as fact. Then again, I had never made it a point to search for this.

I have even purchased a copy (reprinted) of the “Blue Book,” but try as I may, I cannot find specifically anything to indicate that deserters were to be shot if they couldn’t be turned back to their units.

“This is from an 1864 publication, CUSTOMS OF SERVICE FOR NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS

AUGUST V. KAUTZ
CAPT. SIXTH U.S. CAVALRY, BRIG.-GEN. U.S. VOLUNTEERS
368. The most important duty of sergeant is that of file-closer. Posted in the rear of the company when paraded, it is his duty to see that the men pay attention to their duty, preserve order, march properly, and keep closed.
369. In time of battle, it is his duty to keep the men in ranks, not to allow them to fall out on any pretext, and to prevent them from misbehaving before the enemy. He is even required to shoot men down when they attempt to run away in times of danger.

I don’t have a copy of the above, but it’s a start.
Although, as I have said, I cannot find specifically, in the “Blue Book” that the sergeant major is to shoot deserters as a last resort, as indicated by the TV presentation mentioned above, I do find the following.
1. “Instructions For The Sergeant Major.
The sergeant major, being at the head of the non-commissioned officers, must pay the greatest attention to their conduct and behavior, never conniving at the least irregularity committed by them or the soldiers, from both of whom he must exact the most explicit obedience…”
2. “Instructions For The First Sergeant Of A Company.
…He is never to lead a platoon or section, but is always to be a file-closer in the formation of the company, his duty being in the company like the adjutant’s in the regiment.”
3. Instructions For The Sergeants and Corporals.

Obama Reminds Himself Why He Violated The Constitution

With the options available, why did Obama choose to invoke executive privilege?
That, at least to me, is the pregnant question. He had a number of other options but 4 months from a critical election, chose the most controversial and potentially damaging one.

Sociopathy is a complex personality disorder. Sociopaths exhibit a wide variety of maladaptive behavior which makes the condition difficult to diagnose. Sociopathy is not one trait; it is a syndrome—a cluster of related symptoms.

("King Barack") Can the President Rewrite Federal Law? by Andrew P. Napolitano
Reblogged from NOW BLOG THIS! ~ GUNNY.G: AMERICAN !:
Here we go again. Is the Constitution merely a guideline to be consulted by those it purports to regulate, or is it really the supreme law of the land? If it is just a guideline, then it is meaningless, as it only will be followed by those in government when it is not an obstacle to their purposes. If it is the supreme law of the land, what do we do when one branch of government seizes power from another and the branch that had its power stolen does nothing about it?

I have to say that this event, which is being labeled a “training exercise”, makes very little sense to me. U.S. Army troops all the way from Maryland running open exercises in armored personnel carriers on the busy streets of St. Louis? I know Maryland is a small state, but is there really not enough room at Ft. Detrick to accommodate a tank column and some troops? Are there not entire fake neighborhood and town complexes built with taxpayer dollars on military bases across the country meant to facilitate a realistic urban environment for troops to train in? And why travel hundreds of miles to Missouri? At the very least, this is a massive waste of funds.

In Obamaland, the 3 a.m. phone call has become the 3 a.m. e-mail.
In their own way, both speak to a crisis mentality and a groping for security. The contexts couldn’t be more different, but the anxiety—real and imagined —is no less genuine.
To review, the 3 a.m. phone call was in a TV ad Hillary Rodham Clinton ran against Obama in the heat of the Texas and Ohio primaries in 2008.

Recognizing Greatness
Throughout history, great people have come and great people have gone. Like all people, they are born and they die. In the history of mankind, there have been countless people whom others have described as “great”. Greatness is a rather general concept, but the term is typically bestowed upon individuals that have made a positive impact upon the lives of large numbers of people.

These schools, churning out the actual war criminals, always unindicted as the US ducks and dives whenever held to account for atrocities that have killed up to 2 million in Central Asia, are unsupervised, operating outside their own honor codes and, in particular, no one has ever come forward.
