I never comment but I must say this. It is not merely good to forgive
yourself, it is an absolute obligation. You didn't abandon Dixieland,
rather the Lord G-d simply transferred it from your loving care into the
care of another. It wasn't your failure, rather it was His Will.
Therefore, you MUST forgive yourself, not only for your sake, but for
His sake. Bless you my dear Brother.</p><span><span></span></span></div><div>

As the surgeon and I walked to the operating room she said you need to make a decision which concerned the small intestines as they appeared to be interlocked with the large ones. She could let me go gently or brought back for two or three days to say goodby as you cannot live without small intestines except in rare instances and mentioned that she was brutally honest in all cases.

and both were in good shape with good blood circulation and said that she hadn't seen this before and we might have to go back in. Additionally, I wouldn't be out of the woods but the next three days would be critical which I assumed the small ones might return from whence they came after she replaced them.

Generals” was released to screens across the United States—to be exact,
on February 21, 2003—almost ten years after the release of the
blockbuster film, “Gettysburg.”
</p><p>“Gods and Generals” was based on the historical novel by Jeff Shaara,
while “Gettysburg” was based on a work by his father, Michael Shaara.
An intended third installment, “The Last Full Measure,” which would have
carried events of the War Between the States to its conclusion, was
shelved after critics savaged “Gods and Generals,” citing what
Wikipedia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gods_and_Generals_(film)">termed</a> its “length, pacing, screenplay, and endorsement of the controversial neo-Confederate ‘Lost Cause’ myth.”</p>
<p>Undoubtedly, “Gods and Generals” is more episodic than its prequel,
which indeed centers its action around one pivotal event in the war, the
epochal Battle of Gettysburg. And, yes, it is long—the director’s cut
is four hours and forty minutes in duration. Yet, “Gettysburg” in its
original version is only slightly shorter. But given its thematic unity
it succeeds, perhaps, as more theatrical and digestible by a public
attuned to simpler plots and more compact storylines. Whereas in
“Gettysburg” the viewer watches as events unfold steadily toward an
eventual climax that we all know is coming and at the same time manages
to engage those who experience it as if—somehow—it is happening now for
the first time, “Gods and Generals” is somewhat reminiscent of a
mini-series with episodic segments attempting to offer viewers an
impression of how the war actually began and how, in its first two
years, it was fought.</p><p style="text-align: center;">More @ <a href="https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/remembering-gods-and-generals/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=7181b1fc-064d-429d-8d68-5037c82a0973">The Abbeville Institute</a><br /></p>Brock Townsendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-91805851236677371732022-06-09T21:18:00.002-04:002022-06-09T21:20:32.119-04:00THE CRUX OF THE MATTER<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="384" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1cHltJuEe7Q" title="YouTube video player" width="570

Lee controversy swirling on today's Washington and Lee campus; and to look again at who Lee was, what he did, and why, in order possibly to renew our perspective on the justice of the fundamental charge brought against him: namely, that he led a Confederate army, thus acting in defense of the Confederate cause, putting him "on the wrong side of history," as they say; and leading his accusers to the conclusion that it is now, and always has been, wrong to venerate him at Washington and Lee. I think this is an over-simplistic view of Lee and a far too narrowly focused judgement of him, arising partly from ignorance and partly from kowtowing to the crusading woke activism of the day. In any case, I likely say nothing in the article that you do not already know, and hope only perhaps to refresh spirits and renew confidence in the rightness of our views, faced, as we are, with the unyielding intransigence of our opposition. <br /><br />To this end, please donate to The Generals Redoubt to pay for professional research related to defending Lee Chapel as a National Historical Landmark, and for future funding to educate students about the rich history and legacy of Robert E. Lee. We need your help if we are to save Lee Chapel as a campus and national treasure.

“the Late Unpleasantness” which he could share with his two sons, one of
whom will be entering college this fall, and the other who will be a
high school senior. I began naming some volumes, at random. But my
friend stopped me in mid-sentence and asked if I could compile and write
down a list of about ten books which would essentially touch the main
points of Southern history and culture: that is, offering a
non-politically correct view of the War Between the States, placing the
institution of slavery in its proper context (as not the determining
factor for the War), and taking a sympathetic view of the richness of
our Southern heritage…and, perhaps most importantly, suggesting some
works that a bright college freshman and high school senior could
understand and refer to as they navigated the corrupted hallways of our
American educational system. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">More @ <a href="https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/recommended-books-about-the-south-and-its-history/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=13b5ac2b-31a5-4bc8-98f4-41adef518bb8">The Abbeville Institute</a></span><br /></p>Brock Townsendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-2914113722540191052022-06-01T16:11:00.000-04:002022-06-01T16:11:18.018-04:00Lest We Forget<p style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://gatesofvienna.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/confederate1.jpg" title="Memorial Day observance at the Farmville Confederate Cemetery, May 30 2022 #1" vspace="5" width="529" /></p><p><br />Hello My Southern Gentleman Friend<br />"The sleep of the Civil War dead is even more disturbed these days.

rifles, and you could tell the difference at a glance. But I’ll admit,
I’m also old enough to remember rotary dial telephones and rabbit-ear
antennas. But even most of the youngsters among us can remember the
advent of the AR pistol form factor. Initially designed, I’m convinced,
as a way to thumb one’s nose at the inherent lunacy of legal and
regulatory restrictions and classifications – it took off as a
legitimate and fairly lucrative operating space in the firearms market.</p><p>I’ll
confess that I have personally struggled to fall in love with the “AR
Pistol” form factor because I have found it generally difficult to wield
as a pistol. All that weight out at the end of your arm can be hard to
manage for more than a few seconds at a time, and most arm brace designs
force the gun into a configuration where it is nearly impossible to see
open sights properly. However, that struggle is over – and I have
fallen in love with the pistol configuration available from Robinson
Armament Co.</p><p style="text-align: center;">More @ <a href="https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/one-armed-boom-stick-the-robinson-armament-xcr-l-pistol/">Guns America</a><br /></p>Brock Townsendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-39977864362221966602022-04-28T21:24:00.000-04:002022-04-28T21:24:17.955-04:00Biden’s Economy is the Definition of Stagflation<p style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="US President Joe Biden boards Air Force One at Delaware Air National Guard base in New Castle, Delaware, on April 25, 2022.

the punishment of the right; the accommodation of the leftists; the
illegal, immoral and big, red, middle-finger to the constitution and
your rights, that was just the scenes of coming attractions. As I’ve
stated before, it was a test; we failed, now we deal with the messages

spells it out. Do you really think that failing gun control, the
communists were just going to shrug and go away? What extent they
achieved to limit gun ownership got obliterated after the Summer of Love
put on by Antifa and BLM in Portland and Seattle. It scared the
suburban moms and dads and that pretty well crushed gun control as a
leftist tactic, because a lot of those people suddenly realized the
value of violent self-defense.</p><p style="text-align: center;">More @ <a href="https://tldavis.substack.com/p/if-you-liked-the-lockdowns-youre?s=r">TL Davi</a><a href="https://tldavis.substack.com/p/if-you-liked-the-lockdowns-youre?s=r">s</a><br /></p>Brock Townsendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.com1
