    That’s actually not the full quote. The full quote show he was not talking about any of those issues at all. He was concerned with the allies being “liberal” and “communist”

    It dawned on me today… The bad guys won in WWII. There were no “good guys” in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces. Remember what Gen. Patton said and why they capped him.

      Oh for fuck’s sake, we’re doing Patton conspiracy theories now!? He died from injuries sustained from smashing his head in a car accident, you weird Nazi!

        All famous people who died in cars are actually alive. Even if they’re super old! Isadora Duncan, James Dean, Paul Walker, Grace Kelly, Princess Diana… all alive.

          No no no, they’re all dead, it’s just the reason they’re dead is because the Derp State took them out and made them look like car accidents!

            I was thinking car crashes rather than their brain being splattered all over the car, by a bullet or two, but sure. Let’s throw him into the mix too. These idiots will believe anything. A bunch of them really do believe JFK, Jr. is still alive.

        In case anyone else had to google this…

        https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/36062/did-gen-patton-say-we-defeated-the-wrong-enemy

        I’m pretty sure Patton was complete trash overall so whatever.
