Just to BEAT this not only into the Ground, but through the earth's core, only to then kick it off the face of the planet

The Man Living through Batteries & Bitterness our blessed DICK, said this:

"President Lincoln and General Grant did not wage sensitive warfare -- nor did President Roosevelt, nor Generals Eisenhower and MacArthur."

A quick Google search turns up this from a couple of those Dick sourced, let's stick to the Republicans Lincoln and Eisenhower.

Abraham Lincoln, you remember him Dick, sort of the patron saint of your party?

First Inaugural Address March 4, 1861:

To the south: "Such of you as are now dissatisfied, still have the old Constitution unimpaired, and, on the sensitive point, the laws of your own framing under it; while the new administration will have no immediate power, if it would, to change either."

Of course, what Dick should know, what all of us should know, but which Dick doesn't want his mouthbreathing followers to recall, remember, or learn are other things about Lincoln. Such as: Lincoln is the guy who, in his second inaugural, while the war was going on talked about, "binding up the nation's wounds"; "charity towards all" and "malice towards none". And the Emancipation Proclamation as "sensitive", fuggitaboutit. When issued in November 1862 it specifically excluded the loyal border states because Lincoln was "sensitive" to how otherwise it might piss those folks off.

Dwight Eisenhower, A Review of "Dwight Eisenhower: A Soldier's Life"

The biographer not only conveys the strategic problems Eisenhower faced, but shows how the general's personal qualities-his unpretentiousness, single-minded dedication to the task, and sensitivity to the difficulty of forging unity between two proud allies who were often mistrustful of each other-ultimately drove the Allied war machine to victory.

And though the word sensitive isn't in this quote, it most certain was a sensitive remark when the same Dwight Eisenhower (a career soldier) said:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

For a Republican, Ike sure sounded like a liberal Democrat didn't he?
