In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Offense and Defense

Years ago, I read a book by an officer that commanded Army troops in Vietnam. It was an interesting read, but what really stuck in my mind was how the officer knew that defensive actions allowed enemy forces to group and attack. He didn't just expound about his thoughts; he explained through the events how they worked. 

Politically, the undesired effects of the defensive position of so called conservatives is glaringly apparent. It's time for that to change. A strong offensive effort is more than needed to remove the damage caused by allowing destructive ideas to flourish with nothing but pandering as the reaction. Laws have been broken, the lives of good people have been destroyed, and those responsible need to be punished for their efforts. That will never happen unless there is an overwhelming push to destroy the enemies of the United States; both foreign and domestic. There are sufficient laws to obtain this goal, and I expect Trump's appointments to accomplish this task.

    1. It's necessary. Defeating an enemy requires enough attrition to make them want to stop fighting.

  2. Offensive conduct requires guts and a spine. He GOP quislings have neither. Instead they will aid the commie left in obstructing Trump at every turn.

    1. After watching the wimpy methods of important Republicans over the years, I have no confidence in those that have been there more than 4 years.
