Blackfive has a great roundup.  See also, Confederate Yankee, who posts the text of Patton’s speech to the troops before the invasion, and Jawa Report, where Rusty Shackleford notes: June 6th, 1944, has so many lessons to be taught. So many perspectives which are at odds with the perspectives about the war we’re fighting now. I suppose we can pick and choose what those lessons are, but for me, the

Because here’s my dilemma:  in the first case, I exhibit intellectual honesty, and I’m able to salvage whatever integrity one can possibly salvage for having admitted to

Please tune in today to “Hoist the Black Flag” on Rightalk. The show begins at 4:05 pm EST, 1:05 pacific.
