War hero and self-sacrificing, beloved leader of the Gauls, Vercingetorix, was unfairly executed by the Caesar. He was also kept prisoner 5 years in a dark small cell, by his heartless, unnecessarily cruel victor, Caesar.![]()
In my book, it's probably the lowest, most contemptible act ever committed by a Roman emperor, not to have either pardoned, or quickly executed (by sword, not strangulation), war-hero Vercingetorix. (This bad karma, who knows and hopefully, led to Caesar being stabbed later on: bad karma goes round)
Below, a painting every French schoolchildren used to know (before SJWs determined that history of Vercingetorix had to be all but removed from schoolbooks): depicting local hero Vercingetorix defeated by the heartless, scheming (and illegal migrant) Caesar, throwing his sword at the Roman's feet (in order to save his men from starving to death). Note all eyes on him, not on Caesar...

Edit- I have never heard of this guy but then again I don't read NRO. Looks like he is a writer there. I feel like I'm pretty plugged into politics and have no idea who this guy is. How will he mobilize donors? Seems really unorganized.

David French, huh? So they're going to try to replace a guy who fills stadiums and has been in the news every day for years with a man no one has ever heard of.
Brilliant plan. Brill Kristol is a marketing genius. (Rolls eyes.) Maybe next time Madonna sells out a big concert hall, he should substitute someone like Jann Arden* at the last minute and tell the waiting audience they have to accept her because he knows what's best for them.
* No offense to Jann Arden who is an obscure '90s pop singer. Just giving an example to point out how absurd and offensive Kristol's ideas are.

I still don't like it and I do hope Manafort and his people get this thing purged fast, but no one has ever heard of this guy and they need to get both money and funding to get on the ballots like I posted before.
Fucking laughable. The impotence of cuckservatives in a nutshell.

Trump is more libertarian than the Libertarian Party at this point.

Well, anyway, I think that Trump is probably a mix of both: patriotic and bold (and Celtic-looking) like Vercingetorix, but intelligent, innovative and great builder of wall - like the Roman Caesar.
Incidentally, note that Caesar won over my Gaul ancestors by... building a wall (a counter-wall of fortifications surrounding the first French wall of fortifications, imagine that). Proof that walls do work, always have!
Cesar's "counter" wall of fortification at Alesia, and it worked:
(If you travel to France, you can visit the place of this famous battle, Alesia... and bring back ideas for the Trump's wall!)

Those smug, dumb sophists and charlatans preaching global warming have to be insulted by me personally. They think they're actually smarter than Trump.

Quote:Navelgazer: "Maybe we've been here before. Maybe we've faced worse. Who cares? This is what we've got to deal with now." That sums it up.
My point in taking the other side of this-- that rancor has always existed-- is that that rancor, while apparently terrible, may be the whole thing that makes America work better than Parliamentary systems (as Craig Ferguson would say: I look forward to your letters.)
We can look at this as a dialectic of sorts, back and forth but upwards, spiraling towards something-- let's call it better. You have a Carter, so you get a Reagan, and then you get a Clinton. You have a Bush, so then you get an Obama, so then you get... I will bet every dime I have that whoever the next President is, R or D, he will be the concrete response to abstract ideologies of the two, he will be what pulls America out of this, and when I say bet I mean a literal bet that is being made for me, for all of us, what happens post-Obama may well define America for the rest of America.
