The Burke quote re: eloquence sans wisdom reminded me of Obama, but it can be applied to politicians on both sides, as you said.<br /><br />If you erase all the political correctness and social engineering, and look at the rape problems in the military on the basis of common sense, the solution is simple. Hormones are raging in young people and mixing women with men, homosexuals with straights, will naturally result in problems. But evidently common sense and logic have no place in government.<br /><br />When I was in the military, women served in a separate branch and had no contact with us, although we sometimes saw them marching around. That seemed to work pretty well. Hookers suddenly appeared on base the very day we were paid, but tossing women into the barracks probably put them out of work.<br /><br />Female politicians and men who never served make policies that negatively affect the military. Even the Marine Corps is bending to social pressure. Now we have the "feminization" of even the military ...Unbelievable. <br /><br />Ralph Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305894333304660639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356810570417598585.post-30621409626306588072013-06-05T08:56:42.090-07:002013-06-05T08:56:42.090-07:00While all of the quotes deserve a good discussion,...While all of the quotes deserve a good discussion, the one by Edmund Burke, "Eloquence may exist without a proportionate degree of wisdom," is one we should all be cautious of. I'm reminded of this as I listen the Joint Chiefs tell the Senate they will take care of the sexual abuse and rape occurrences, all 26,000 of the yearly ones, because they just took their eye off the ball.<br />Also the current eloquence from both ends of the spectrum on almost every subject. Both sides do not show wisdom in that this country survives on compromise to move forward, a direction we have not been approaching. Bless our Founders who had the wisdom to compromise so that we could form the Republic!<br />Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382287257942302447noreply@blogger.com
