Pickett's Charge Redux
2019-06-03
Democrats are foolishly demanding a modern day Pickett’s charge into the teeth of an entrenched adversary who occupies the high ground. Unlike Lee, they must know that their loud, nonstop cannonade has missed the mark.

A group of overconfident Democrats, cheered on by their deranged base (and some tortured English from Mr. Mueller) are demanding the their colleagues advance the cause of impeachment. Their fawning followers in the Washington press are egging them on with their daily sniping of the duly elected President. Perhaps they believe that they can break the will of this President and his party to fight on.

They willfully ignore the facts. They seriously underestimate this President. They now confront a steely Attorney General in William Barr who has truth, the law and the Mueller Report on his side. Democrats are foolishly demanding a modern day Pickett’s charge into the teeth of an entrenched adversary who occupies the high ground. Unlike Lee, they must know that their loud, nonstop cannonade has missed the mark.

#2  If you want to see difficult terrain on an historic battlefield, go to Vienna, walk the battlefield (start at the heights, but it still takes days) and try to imagine the situation. When I first saw the Vienna imperial garrison from above, I was stricken by the design of the meat grinder it represented.

#1  Looking from Seminary Ridge, you don't see the difficulty of the terrain to your east. It looks pretty easy.

It isn't.
