Custer wasn't an idiot but he was stupid. Stupid because he let his ambition/ego overtake his actual capabilities....

For example he graduated last from West point for his year and during the Civil War he was lackluster at best. But come the victory parades he sure stole the show, for the day he marched. I believe Grant stole the show the next day....

He in my opinion is an example of someone who let their greed/ego affect their judgement. But his judgement was never sound, he had an ego and he got burned....

I'm knowledgeable... I over analyse everything... And also the Civil War was my favourite war to research just because it was a transition war.... Transition because after the Civil War it became all industrial after that... maybe sans boer war

'Make America White Again':
A politician's racist billboard ignites uproar
Tennessee candidate says he pines for days of 'Leave it to Beaver' when he could leave his door unlocked

An independent candidate for Congress has been swept up in a wave of criticism for his campaign billboard vowing to "Make American White Again."
Rick Tyler, who is running for Tennessee's 3rd congressional district, put up the billboard alongside Highway 411 in Polk County to make a point, he said, that "the Leave It to Beaver, Ozzie and Harriet, Mayberry' America of old was vastly superior to what we are experiencing today."
"It was an America where doors were left unlocked, violent crime was a mere fraction of today's rate of occurrence, there were no car jackings, home invasions, Islamic Mosques or radical Jihadist sleeper cells," Tyler wrote Wednesday night on Facebook.
But the billboard's message, a spin on Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, has been widely derided a tasteless display of bigotry and racism.
It was taken down Tuesday night, according to ABC affiliate WTVC.
Tyler did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Washington Post.
But his campaign website, featuring an illustration of the White House surrounded by a dozen Confederate flags, explains his motivation for the advertisement.
"The 'Make America White Again' billboard advertisement will cut to the very core and marrow of what plagues us as a nation," according to his website. "As Anne Coulter so effectively elucidates in her book, 'Adios America,' the overhaul of America's immigration law in the 1960's has placed us on an inevitable course of demise and destruction. Yes . . . the cunning globalist/Marxist social engineers have succeeded in destroying that great bulwark against statist tyranny . . . the white American super majority.
"Without its expedited restoration little hope remains for the nation as a whole."
Tyler, a 58-year-old self-described "entrepreneur, pastor and political candidate," ran as an independent in the 2014 Senate race, getting less than half a percentage point of the vote against Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.
Tennessee's primary is Aug. 4.

I like how that man denied he was racist too, lolol. Racists today don't even want to admit they're racist.

So you didn't like Pierre Trudeau ? (Or Joe Clark) :lol:
my pet was better

I voted Joe twice, when he won his minority and for the 18-cent election

part of Joe's platform was to increase the price of gas up $0.18/imperial gallon

p.e.t. disingenuously said he would NOT put the price of gas up 18 cents a gallon and the stupid electorate bought it

but he didn't lie

he turned the nation to metric, and the cost of retooling everything put the price up 40 cents/liter or $1.80/gal.imp. more than doubling the price!

looked good on the stupid electorate though

Today In late 1875, Sioux and Cheyenne Indians defiantly left their reservations, outraged over the continued intrusions of whites into their sacred lands in the Black Hills. They gathered in Montana with the great warrior Sitting Bull to fight for their lands. The following spring, two victories over the US Cavalry emboldened them to fight on in the summer of 1876. "Battle of the Little big horn"

Those poor aboriginal have to live in the most powerful nation on earth and enjoy benefits the world over would love to have. Those poor poor aboriginals.

I wonder how long they will play the victim card? They didn't hit the jackpot. The jackpot hit them. Stop being a whinning little baby.

So Custer's performance at Gettysburg was lackluster?

White?
White always looks yellow and cheesy
how about a blue rinse?

"“They said the boy’s father had been a white soldier chief named Long Hair; he had killed her father, Chief Black Kettle [at the Wa****a River Massacre] eight winters before, they said, and captured her. He had told her he wanted to make her his second wife, and so he had her,” White Cow Bull told Miller....

...Bighead said Meotzi mourned hard upon the news of Custer’s death, cutting her hair and gnashing her arms. She was heartbroken that the man she’d considered her husband was forced to be killed by her own tribe and allies after he broke his peace pipe promise to never attack them again.

Yep, white....if they want to keep it that way they are going to have to stop sleeping with the help...

The south should have let Beauregard ( a noted anti slavery proponent) just carry on to take undefended Washington after Bull Run
then lackluster Custer never would have happened
