Shark Tank

Progressives are just communists without the courage of their convictions.

Totally unimpressive, all.

I'm frankly far more impressed by the actual Communists.

No military service? You're a nobody where I come from.

George Washington to Charles Beckwith, the most impressive Americans have always been military.

Bill Wilson. Joseph Smith. The US will be long gone and their followers will still be practicing their faith. Jonas Salk defeated a greater foe.

Polio was not a greater foe than tyranny.

But that's what you liberals don't get, and why you will fail in the end.

Death is the greatest foe. Everything else is temporary.

Death is no foe.

Everybody gotta die sometime.

Embrace it, entropy is the nature of the universe.

What is the highest honor in the nation?

Medal of Honor.

You don't get one of those by clinging desperately to life like a craven coward.

Even in hippie dippie Canada, I know what it's like to be famous.

On the rare occasions I have worn uniform in public with decorations, it's like being a celebrity.

People bow and scrape and genuflect as you pass, you literally have to tell them to "please stop doing that"

It’s not about our personal lives. I’m not going to live a disease free 150 year life. I’d like my grandchildren to get there.

Would you not like to see an end to war?

Wearing foreign uniform in America gets even more attention.

Americans are interested, who are you? Where are you from? Why do you fight for America?

When I say Declaration of Independence above all else, they are impressed.

Would you not like to see an end to war?

Not at all. It would result in a civilizational collapse.

War is the force that gives us meaning, war is the force that drives us.

Was war what cured polio in the end, Declaration of Independence won that one too.

War is the force that gives us meaning, war is the force that drives us.

Reproduction has traditionally filled that role. As medicine advances, that may change.

No, the hyper territorial hyper tribal apex predator will not evolve significantly beyond its core meaning.

The advances in medicine are all a result of war btw.
