Jimmy Carter must have Peanuts for Brains


"I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A.," he told a news conference at the Baptist World Alliance's centenary conference in Birmingham, England. "I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts."

Just like a liberal to give excuses for terrorism. JIMMY CARTER WAKE UP AND SMELL THE PEANUTS! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR TERRORISM!

Must Love Dogs

It's Saturday, and I'm totally burned out watching news, reading news, and commenting on news.

Today I reflect on the beauty of life. Good friends, Irma how much fun was it driving around in your Porshe with the top down, and sitting in downtown at a sidewalk table, sipping diet coke so we can lose weight?

Saw a great movie...........Must love dogs and Big Fish (on hbo). They both made me cry, as they reminded me of the beautiful people I have had the priviledge of calling Dad and Sister, and Grandpa!

I was reminded, how wonderful my life is, being free, being loved, and being able to cry a tear!

It made me wonder if the men who cut people's heads off, or if the man who straps a bomb on his chest, shed a tear?

DEFEAT ROBERT BYRD VOTE FOR HIRAM LEWIS


CLICK HERE TO DEFEAT ROBERT BYRD

Byrd orchestrated the opposition to Condi Rice's nomination as Secretary of State.
Byrd became the most outspoken obstructionist of President Bush's judicial nominees... trampling on the Constitution and leading the filibuster effort.
Byrd even went so far as to compare President Bush to Hitler for trying to get judicial nominees approved! After 50 years of being the Senate's "chief obstructionist" -- isn't it time for Byrd to go? (picture of Hiram Lewis above)

BYRD IS ALSO THE BIGGEST PORKER IN THE SENATE, WASTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FEEDING HIS OWN EGO!
If you agree, I hope you will click below and join my "HIRAM LEWIS CAMPAIGN TEAM" today:

The time for Robert Byrd's defeat is here.

Hmmmmmmmmm I wonder who the Real Liar Is

Helen Thomas vows to kill herself if Cheney runs for President in 08. She says she doesn't want another liar in office. Think she is lying?

REWARD

The Cook County Republican Party is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an indictment and conviction of Mayor Richard M. Daley.

They Must Be Very Proud Of Themselves

Just another day in the world of misguided people. I had heard that the Algerians did not want any protection while travelling through Iraq, because they felt that they had good relations with the Iraqi people.

I'm A Little Tea Pot........Doesn't have Same Meaning in Malaysia


A cult that was worshipping a Teapot in Malaysia was broken up. The headquarters for the Teapot worshippers was torched. It's 58 members fined and jailed for straying from the true Muslim religion. Islam is the State religion in Malaysia.

Seems to me the world would be a much safer place if more Muslims left for Teapot worship. Perhaps we should send large Teapots to hot spots in the Middle East.

FULL TEXT OF OSAMA'S LETTER TO AMERICA

I have included the translation of Bin Laden's letter to America. After reading it, I can not, understand how some of the left, still feel that our invading Iraq has caused an increase in terrorists acts. THIS STARTED WAY BEFORE IRAQ IF YOU READ THIS LETTER.



Full text: bin Laden's 'letter to America' Online document: the full text of Osama bin Laden's "letter to the American people", reported in today's Observer. The letter first appeared on the internet in Arabic and has since been translated and circulated by Islamists in Britain.Observer Worldview Sunday November 24, 2002
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
"Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory" [Quran 22:39]
"Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan."[Quran 4:76]
Some American writers have published articles under the title 'On what basis are we fighting?' These articles have generated a number of responses, some of which adhered to the truth and were based on Islamic Law, and others which have not. Here we wanted to outline the truth - as an explanation and warning - hoping for Allah's reward, seeking success and support from Him.
While seeking Allah's help, we form our reply based on two questions directed at the Americans:
(Q1) Why are we fighting and opposing you? Q2)What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?
As for the first question: Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple:
(1) Because you attacked us and continue to attack us.
a) You attacked us in Palestine:
(i) Palestine, which has sunk under military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine, with your help and your support, to the Jews, who have occupied it for more than 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its*price, and pay for it heavily.
(ii) It brings us both laughter and tears to see that you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism. This is one of the most fallacious, widely-circulated fabrications in history. The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites. It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses (peace be upon him) and the inheritors of the real Torah that has not been changed. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. If the followers of Moses have been promised a right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are the most worthy nation of this.
When the Muslims conquered Palestine and drove out the Romans, Palestine and Jerusalem returned to Islaam, the religion of all the Prophets peace be upon them. Therefore, the call to a historical right to Palestine cannot be raised against the Islamic Ummah that believes in all the Prophets of Allah (peace and blessings be upon them) - and we make no distinction between them.
(iii) The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. You must know that the Palestinians do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone.
(b) You attacked us in Somalia; you supported the Russian atrocities against us in Chechnya, the Indian oppression against us in Kashmir, and the Jewish aggression against us in Lebanon.
(c) Under your supervision, consent and orders, the governments of our countries which act as your agents, attack us on a daily basis;
(i) These governments prevent our people from establishing the Islamic Shariah, using violence and lies to do so.
(ii) These governments give us a taste of humiliation, and places us in a large prison of fear and subdual.
(iii) These governments steal our Ummah's wealth and sell them to you at a paltry price.
(iv) These governments have surrendered to the Jews, and handed them most of Palestine, acknowledging the existence of their state over the dismembered limbs of their own people.
(v) The removal of these governments is an obligation upon us, and a necessary step to free the Ummah, to make the Shariah the supreme law and to regain Palestine. And our fight against these governments is not separate from out fight against you.
(d) You steal our wealth and oil at paltry prices because of you international influence and military threats. This theft is indeed the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind in the history of the world.
(e) Your forces occupy our countries; you spread your military bases throughout them; you corrupt our lands, and you besiege our sanctities, to protect the security of the Jews and to ensure the continuity of your pillage of our treasures.
(f) You have starved the Muslims of Iraq, where children die every day. It is a wonder that more than 1.5 million Iraqi children have died as a result of your sanctions, and you did not show concern. Yet when 3000 of your people died, the entire world rises and has not yet sat down.
(g) You have supported the Jews in their idea that Jerusalem is their eternal capital, and agreed to move your embassy there. With your help and under your protection, the Israelis are planning to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque. Under the protection of your weapons, Sharon entered the Al-Aqsa mosque, to pollute it as a preparation to capture and destroy it.
(2) These tragedies and calamities are only a few examples of your oppression and aggression against us. It is commanded by our religion and intellect that the oppressed have a right to return the aggression. Do not await anything from us but Jihad, resistance and revenge. Is it in any way rational to expect that after America has attacked us for more than half a century, that we will then leave her to live in security and peace?!!
(3) You may then dispute that all the above does not justify aggression against civilians, for crimes they did not commit and offenses in which they did not partake:
(a) This argument contradicts your continuous repetition that America is the land of freedom, and its leaders in this world. Therefore, the American people are the ones who choose their government by way of their own free will; a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies. Thus the American people have chosen, consented to, and affirmed their support for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, the occupation and usurpation of their land, and its continuous killing, torture, punishment and expulsion of the Palestinians. The American people have the ability and choice to refuse the policies of their Government and even to change it if they want.
(b) The American people are the ones who pay the taxes which fund the planes that bomb us in Afghanistan, the tanks that strike and destroy our homes in Palestine, the armies which occupy our lands in the Arabian Gulf, and the fleets which ensure the blockade of Iraq. These tax dollars are given to Israel for it to continue to attack us and penetrate our lands. So the American people are the ones who fund the attacks against us, and they are the ones who oversee the expenditure of these monies in the way they wish, through their elected candidates.
(c) Also the American army is part of the American people. It is this very same people who are shamelessly helping the Jews fight against us.
(d) The American people are the ones who employ both their men and their women in the American Forces which attack us.
(e) This is why the American people cannot be not innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and Jews against us.
(f) Allah, the Almighty, legislated the permission and the option to take revenge. Thus, if we are attacked, then we have the right to attack back. Whoever has destroyed our villages and towns, then we have the right to destroy their villages and towns. Whoever has stolen our wealth, then we have the right to destroy their economy. And whoever has killed our civilians, then we have the right to kill theirs.
The American Government and press still refuses to answer the question:
Why did they attack us in New York and Washington?
If Sharon is a man of peace in the eyes of Bush, then we are also men of peace!!! America does not understand the language of manners and principles, so we are addressing it using the language it understands.
(Q2) As for the second question that we want to answer: What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?
(1) The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.
(a) The religion of the Unification of God; of freedom from associating partners with Him, and rejection of this; of complete love of Him, the Exalted; of complete submission to His Laws; and of the discarding of all the opinions, orders, theories and religions which contradict with the religion He sent down to His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islam is the religion of all the prophets, and makes no distinction between them - peace be upon them all.
It is to this religion that we call you; the seal of all the previous religions. It is the religion of Unification of God, sincerity, the best of manners, righteousness, mercy, honour, purity, and piety. It is the religion of showing kindness to others, establishing justice between them, granting them their rights, and defending the oppressed and the persecuted. It is the religion of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart. It is the religion of Jihad in the way of Allah so that Allah's Word and religion reign Supreme. And it is the religion of unity and agreement on the obedience to Allah, and total equality between all people, without regarding their colour, sex, or language.
(b) It is the religion whose book - the Quran - will remained preserved and unchanged, after the other Divine books and messages have been changed. The Quran is the miracle until the Day of Judgment. Allah has challenged anyone to bring a book like the Quran or even ten verses like it.
(2) The second thing we call you to, is to stop your oppression, lies, immorality and debauchery that has spread among you.
(a) We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling's, and trading with interest.
We call you to all of this that you may be freed from that which you have become caught up in; that you may be freed from the deceptive lies that you are a great nation, that your leaders spread amongst you to conceal from you the despicable state to which you have reached.
(b) It is saddening to tell you that you are the worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind:
(i) You are the nation who, rather than ruling by the Shariah of Allah in its Constitution and Laws, choose to invent your own laws as you will and desire. You separate religion from your policies, contradicting the pure nature which affirms Absolute Authority to the Lord and your Creator. You flee from the embarrassing question posed to you: How is it possible for Allah the Almighty to create His creation, grant them power over all the creatures and land, grant them all the amenities of life, and then deny them that which they are most in need of: knowledge of the laws which govern their lives?
(ii) You are the nation that permits Usury, which has been forbidden by all the religions. Yet you build your economy and investments on Usury. As a result of this, in all its different forms and guises, the Jews have taken control of your economy, through which they have then taken control of your media, and now control all aspects of your life making you their servants and achieving their aims at your expense; precisely what Benjamin Franklin warned you against.
(iii) You are a nation that permits the production, trading and usage of intoxicants. You also permit drugs, and only forbid the trade of them, even though your nation is the largest consumer of them.
(iv) You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honour nor your laws object.
Who can forget your President Clinton's immoral acts committed in the official Oval office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he 'made a mistake', after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations?
(v) You are a nation that permits gambling in its all forms. The companies practice this as well, resulting in the investments becoming active and the criminals becoming rich.
(vi) You are a nation that exploits women like consumer products or advertising tools calling upon customers to purchase them. You use women to serve passengers, visitors, and strangers to increase your profit margins. You then rant that you support the liberation of women.
(vii) You are a nation that practices the trade of sex in all its forms, directly and indirectly. Giant corporations and establishments are established on this, under the name of art, entertainment, tourism and freedom, and other deceptive names you attribute to it.
(viii) And because of all this, you have been described in history as a nation that spreads diseases that were unknown to man in the past. Go ahead and boast to the nations of man, that you brought them AIDS as a Satanic American Invention.
(xi) You have destroyed nature with your industrial waste and gases more than any other nation in history. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and*industries.
(x) Your law is the law of the rich and wealthy people, who hold sway in their political parties, and fund their election campaigns with their gifts. Behind them stand the Jews, who control your policies, media and economy.
(xi) That which you are singled out for in the history of mankind, is that you have used your force to destroy mankind more than any other nation in history; not to defend principles and values, but to hasten to secure your interests and profits. You who dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, even though Japan was ready to negotiate an end to the war. How many acts of oppression, tyranny and injustice have you carried out, O callers to freedom?
(xii) Let us not forget one of your major characteristics: your duality in both manners and values; your hypocrisy in manners and principles. All*manners, principles and values have two scales: one for you and one for the others.
(a)The freedom and democracy that you call to is for yourselves and for white race only; as for the rest of the world, you impose upon them your monstrous, destructive policies and Governments, which you call the 'American friends'. Yet you prevent them from establishing democracies. When the Islamic party in Algeria wanted to practice democracy and they won the election, you unleashed your agents in the Algerian army onto them, and to attack them with tanks and guns, to imprison them and torture them - a new lesson from the 'American book of democracy'!!!
(b)Your policy on prohibiting and forcibly removing weapons of mass destruction to ensure world peace: it only applies to those countries which you do not permit to possess such weapons. As for the countries you consent to, such as Israel, then they are allowed to keep and use such weapons to defend their security. Anyone else who you suspect might be manufacturing or keeping these kinds of weapons, you call them criminals and you take military action against them.
(c)You are the last ones to respect the resolutions and policies of International Law, yet you claim to want to selectively punish anyone else who does the same. Israel has for more than 50 years been pushing UN resolutions and rules against the wall with the full support of America.
(d)As for the war criminals which you censure and form criminal courts for - you shamelessly ask that your own are granted immunity!! However, history will not forget the war crimes that you committed against the Muslims and the rest of the world; those you have killed in Japan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon and Iraq will remain a shame that you will never be able to escape. It will suffice to remind you of your latest war crimes in Afghanistan, in which densely populated innocent civilian villages were destroyed, bombs were dropped on mosques causing the roof of the mosque to come crashing down on the heads of the Muslims praying inside. You are the ones who broke the agreement with the Mujahideen when they left Qunduz, bombing them in Jangi fort, and killing more than 1,000 of your prisoners through suffocation and thirst. Allah alone knows how many people have died by torture at the hands of you and your agents. Your planes remain in the Afghan skies, looking for anyone remotely suspicious.
(e)You have claimed to be the vanguards of Human Rights, and your Ministry of Foreign affairs issues annual reports containing statistics of those countries that violate any Human Rights. However, all these things vanished when the Mujahideen hit you, and you then implemented the methods of the same documented governments that you used to curse. In America, you captured thousands the Muslims and Arabs, took them into custody with neither reason, court trial, nor even disclosing their names. You issued newer, harsher laws.
What happens in Guatanamo is a historical embarrassment to America and its values, and it screams into your faces - you hypocrites, "What is the value of your signature on any agreement or treaty?"
(3) What we call you to thirdly is to take an honest stance with yourselves - and I doubt you will do so - to discover that you are a nation without principles or manners, and that the values and principles to you are something which you merely demand from others, not that which you yourself must adhere to.
(4) We also advise you to stop supporting Israel, and to end your support of the Indians in Kashmir, the Russians against the Chechens and to also cease supporting the Manila Government against the Muslims in Southern Philippines.
(5) We also advise you to pack your luggage and get out of our lands. We desire for your goodness, guidance, and righteousness, so do not force us to send you back as cargo in coffins.
(6) Sixthly, we call upon you to end your support of the corrupt leaders in our countries. Do not interfere in our politics and method of education. Leave us alone, or else expect us in New York and Washington.
(7) We also call you to deal with us and interact with us on the basis of mutual interests and benefits, rather than the policies of sub dual, theft and occupation, and not to continue your policy of supporting the Jews because this will result in more disasters for you.
If you fail to respond to all these conditions, then prepare for fight with the Islamic Nation. The Nation of Monotheism, that puts complete trust on Allah and fears none other than Him. The Nation which is addressed by its Quran with the words: "Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers. Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of believing people. And remove the anger of their (believers') hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise." [Quran9:13-1]
The Nation of honour and respect:
"But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, and to His Messenger (Muhammad- peace be upon him) and to the believers." [Quran 63:8]
"So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be*superior ( in victory )if you are indeed (true) believers" [Quran 3:139]
The Nation of Martyrdom; the Nation that desires death more than you desire life:
"Think not of those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive with their Lord, and they are being provided for. They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them from His bounty and rejoice for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve. They rejoice in a grace and a bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers." [Quran 3:169-171]
The Nation of victory and success that Allah has promised:
"It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad peace be upon him) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it victorious over all other religions even though the Polytheists hate it." [Quran 61:9]
"Allah has decreed that 'Verily it is I and My Messengers who shall be victorious.' Verily Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty." [Quran 58:21]
The Islamic Nation that was able to dismiss and destroy the previous evil Empires like yourself; the Nation that rejects your attacks, wishes to remove your evils, and is prepared to fight you. You are well aware that the Islamic Nation, from the very core of its soul, despises your haughtiness and arrogance.
If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness, guidance and righteousness that we call them to, then be aware that you will lose this Crusade Bush began, just like the other previous Crusades in which you were humiliated by the hands of the Mujahideen, fleeing to your home in great silence and disgrace. If the Americans do not respond, then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy.
This is our message to the Americans, as an answer to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance, by the permission of Allah, we shall be victorious?

Check out the Counterterrorism Blog

This was clipped from the Counterterroism Blog: quite an interesting site:
http://counterterror.typepad.com/the_counterterrorism_blog/

Mohamed Atta's Father Praises London AttacMohamed Atta's father made some truly remarkable comments to CNN this week:
[Atta's father] El-Amir said the attacks in the United States and the July 7 attacks in London were the beginning of what would be a 50-year religious war, in which there would be many more fighters like his son. He declared that terror cells around the world were a "nuclear bomb that has now been activated and is ticking." The man, who gave his age as "at least 70," said he had no sorrow for what happened in London . . . . He passionately vowed that he would do anything within his power to encourage more attacks. When asked if he would allow a CNN crew to videotape another interview with him, el-Amir said he would give his permission -- for a price of $5,000. That money, he said, would not be kept for himself, but would be donated to someone to carry out another terror attack.

Ally on Nomination?

"One's life is probably in no greater danger in the jungles of deepest Africa than in the jungles of America's large cities," he writes. "In my judgment, much of the problem has been brought about by the mollycoddling of criminals by some of the liberal judges who have been placed on the nation's courts in recent years."
A quotation from John O'briens's memoir, "At Home in the Heart of Appalachia, by Senator Robert Byrd.
"Sen. Robert C. Byrd, one of President Bush's harshest critics, has become an unlikely ally on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge John G. Roberts Jr. "http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20050721-115719-6891r.htm

Time for Main Stream Muslims to Speak Out Against Jihad

Hinting at who was responsible, he followed his welcome for a statement by the Muslim Council of Great Britain condemning the terrorist acts, by saying: "We know that these people act in the name of Islam but we also know that the vast and overwhelming majority of Muslims here and abroad are decent and law-abiding people who abhor those who do this every bit as much as we do".

It is time for leaders of the Muslim faith to speak out against terror and say "we do not support Jihad." By publicly speaking out, they show us that they are not a part of these acts. They show the world that this is not their faith.

When Cat Stevens was turned away last year at an American Airport, many American Muslims were demonstrating in Washington. Where are these same Muslims when Iraqi children get blown up for receiving candy from troops, when a bomb goes off in a tube. It is time for us to be able to turn on the news and see Muslim leaders standing up for the freedom they have in America and England, and speaking out against terrorists acts. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES. Our presence in the middle east IS NOT AN EXCUSE for terrorist attacks. Our presence in the middle east is our response for terror attacks. These moderate Muslims should be fighting this war with the same vigor as we. It only makes sense.

The Muslim communities in England and America have been, in my opinion, a tad too quiet.

Judge Roberts Deserves an Up or Down Vote! LET THE GAMES BEGIN

Los Angeles Times: "Although Some Liberal Interest Groups Rushed To Portray Roberts As A Dangerous Extremist, His Nomination Seems To Signal A Desire On The Part Of The White House To Avoid A Nasty Confirmation Battle." (Editorial, "A Judicious Choice," Los Angeles Times, 7/20/05)

Los Angeles Times: "He Has A Sterling Record In Washington As A Litigator, Appearing Before The Supreme Court 39 Times Over More Than A Decade, And Few He Has Encountered Have Anything Bad To Say About Him; Even Legal Adversaries Such As Walter Dellinger, A Solicitor General In The Clinton Administration, Praise Him." (Editorial, "A Judicious Choice," Los Angeles Times, 7/20/05)

Los Angeles Times: "[R]oberts Has A Temperament That May Encourage A Smooth Confirmation Process. There Is Every Reason To Expect That He Will Receive An Up-Or-Down Vote, As He Deserves, By The Time The Court Reconvenes In The Fall." (Editorial, "A Judicious Choice," Los Angeles Times, 7/20/05)

With all the praise for Roberts, it would be ashame to see a Kennedy, Reid, or Schumer interrogate him at the hearings as if he were a criminal. It is time for the Senate to greet nominees, judicial, UN, etc., with the respect that their lives deserve. It is okay to disagree, it is not okay to be rude and grandstand turning the process into a circus. I will never forget how they interrogated Rice and Rummie during the 9/ll hearings. A TOTAL LACK OF MANNERS, RESPECT, AND SELF CONTROL.

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS


While Denzel Washington was visiting troops at the Brooks Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, he visited a building called the Fisher House where famlies of wounded, burned soldiers stay while visiting their loved one. While there, he asked, how much to one of these buildings cost, they told him, and he cut a check for the full amount.
Americans are the most giving people in the world. This act of kindness from Denzel meant so much to the troops, and they are spreading the word overseas, so people know what a wonderful gift this man gave the famlies of our troops in Texas.
Don't ever let anyone ever tell you that American are selfish, arrogant, and self centered bullies. Americans never cease to amaze and usually step up to help in any way they can.

Chances Like This Don't Come Around That Often



We must not lose this chance to fix Social Security. Currently, we have a man in the White House who has done what no other President could. He has touched an issue, that most would never bring up. They would keep it hidden in their "lock boxes" in fear of public reprisal. President Bush, brought the words "Social Security" to the frontlines with a plan that will actually fix the broken program. He brought these 2 words up knowing that there could of been quite an uproar. He has hung in there and continues to promote his program and the importance of it.
We have a chance now to fix Social Security. There will not be many other Presidents with the courage to fix this program. We have our chance now, and if we don't take advantage of this chance, we will be the losers.
Act now, or pay later!

Director Nina Shea (center) briefed President George W. Bush and his staff, including National Security Advisor Stephen J. Hadley and Chief of Staff Andrew Card on the issue of extreme shari'a in both Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
Picture and caption from the web site:

Radical Islam's Move on AfricaThe Washington Post, Page A-25, October 16, 2003By Paul Marshall
Many students from Pakistan's madrassas, or radical Islamist schools, are leaving to avoid arrest in a government crackdown on Islamic extremism. Some are going to Saudi Arabia, but hundreds are heading to more surprising shores -- to Africa. Last month Mohammad Jamil, a spokesman for the Federation of Madrassas, said, "About 500 have already moved to South Africa. . . . Others are planning to pack their bags."
The United States has taken notice but has so far done little to address this developing threat, either by challenging those exporting radical Islam or by promoting democracy.
Islamic extremists in Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania have turned to terrorism, and non-Islamic dictators, such as deposed Liberian strongman Charles Taylor, have developed economic links with al Qaeda. But more alarming is the spread of rigid forms of Islam, which are historically rare south of the Sahara and which are creating division, chaos and violence in both East and West Africa.
Islamists in Kenya are pushing to expand Islamic law, or sharia, to include sentences of amputation in certain crimes, as well as stoning in cases of adultery, practices already in place in Nigeria. The chairman of Kenya's Council of Imams and Preachers, Ali Shee, has warned that Muslims in the coastal and northeastern provinces will break away if sharia is not expanded.
Tanzania is experiencing a similar push for Islamic law. Saudi Arabia is funding new mosques there, and fundamentalists have bombed bars and beaten women they thought inadequately covered. Mohammed Madi, a fundamentalist activist, told Time magazine last month, "We get our funds from Yemen and Saudi Arabia. . . . Officially the money is used to buy medicine, but in reality the money is given to us to support our work and buy guns."
Before President Bush's visit this year to usually quiet Malawi, government security forces, assisted by Americans, arrested five suspected Muslim militants (two Turks, one Saudi, one Kenyan and a Sudanese) and flew them out of the country. In response, Muslim mobs rioted in Mangoci, burned six churches and attacked local priests. In Zambia this summer, police raided an Islamic school and found 280 students confined in cages, where they were forced to study military tactics and Arabic.
Similar patterns are evident in West Africa. The civil war in Ivory Coast has complex roots, but like other conflicts spanning religious divides, such as in Serbia or Chechnya, it has taken on a fanatic coloration. Muslim rebels have been sporting T-shirts adorned with Osama bin Laden's face superimposed over a map of the country. Extreme Islamic law continues to spread and provoke violence in Nigeria, a country bin Laden has singled out as "ready for liberation." Meanwhile, Senegal, Gambia, Niger, Mauritania, Chad and even historically democratic Mali are also experiencing Islamist unrest, with riots and, in some cases, coup attempts.
This Islamization is being pushed by Sudan and Saudi Arabia, which are trying to replace local variants with their own restrictive systems. But as this newspaper has reported, Libya's Moammar Gaddafi is also a major player. While he has provided financial support to thugs of Christian background, such as Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe and Charles Taylor, his goal, announced before 15,000 people in Benin in 2000, is to "make Islam triumphant in Africa."
The Bush administration is sending Special Forces personnel and upgrading anti-terrorism work in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Mali, Niger, Chad and Mauritania. But it is also thawing relations with Gaddafi, complimenting Sudan for "good cooperation" on terrorism and treating Saudi Arabia as an ally. Instead, the United States should demand that Tripoli, Khartoum and Riyadh cease their export of radicalism to Africa. It should also encourage democratic development through the Millennium Challenge funds.
If, as President Bush has said, "America is committed to the success of Africa" and has a "long-term commitment" to developing democracy there, it needs to counter the threat to democracy posed by the spread of extremist forms of Islam.

Exactly my point. The War on Terror must be won, so that 3rd world countries in need, will get the support they need. Sending money and supplies to these countries, that could end up in the hands of "terrorists" is not helping the people who need it. Look for example at the freighter carrying relief supplies to Tsunami victims. IT JUST DISAPPEARED! How many times has our money and UN money and supplies ended up in the hands of the men who are inflicting terror.

We need to get behind the President on the war on Terror so that people who need help, good people, can get the aid and comfort they need.

Sunday Thoughts


Today I pray for the innocent people of Sudan, who are being raped, put in camps, and executed.

"Since 1998, a growing national coalition of rights groups, religious organizations, and students have been mobilizing to stop the following five genocidal actions of the Sudan regime:
*the bans on international humanitarian air flights that have caused massive starvation in the south;
*the bombing of relief facilities, hospitals, Catholic schools, churches and other civilian structures, which has killed and injured innocent civilians and threatens the international relief effort;
*slavery, in which tens of thousands of southern women and children have been abducted, gang raped, and taken north to be used as concubines and slave laborers;
*forcible Islamization through the imposition of sharia law on non-Muslims, through the forcible placement of non-Muslim children in Koranic schools, and through the manipulation of international aid in "peace" camps and other government-controlled areas;
*the support and sanctuary for the Lord's Resistance Army, which carries out systematic murder, rape, and kidnapping of neighboring Ugandan children.

I would of thought that this would be top priority by the UN. Then I remembered how many Countries who support terrorism were on some of the very Committees in the UN that could do something.

Dean, Dean the Screaming Machine


"Howard Dean has spent the last year criticizing me and other candidates at every opportunity," Gephardt said. "Now, as he makes a series of embarrassing gaffes that underscore the fact he is not well equipped to challenge George Bush, he suddenly wants to change the rules of the game

"I've got some news for Howard Dean," Lieberman added. "The primary campaign is a warm-up compared to what George Bush and Karl Rove have waiting for him. . . . He's going to melt in a minute once the Republicans start going after him."

snip

The Rocky Mountain News reports that DNC Chairman Howard Dean was in Boulder, Colorado on Thursday and "ribbed President Bush and the three Rs: Republicans, Rove and Rush: • ‘Focus on the Family? What focus on the family? If you want to focus on the family, how about raising minimum wage?’ • ‘No Child Left Behind ought to be kicked in the behind.’ • ‘I'm not going to be lectured about moral values by Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and James Dobson -- not going to happen.’" The good news is that Dean is in the clear minority.
snip

Dean continues with his ways of alienating and name calling. He alienated his own party during the primaries, and continues with his name calling and derogatory remarks.

I have enjoyed watching this man implode. Every time he opens his mouth he gives bloggers more material. A comedian's dream.

I feel for Dems like Zell Miller, who by the way, would of carried my vote had he ever ran, they are now represented by this loud mouthed politician, who reverts back to school playground name calling to make his points.

It is so unbelievable to me, that they would pick a man like Howard Dean, to set their agenda, and control the party to which they belong.

With Howard Dean as Chair, their party continues to become more cartoonlike each day. Pelosi, Kennedy, Boxer, Kerry, Clinton, Reid, Byrd, have all fallen into the Dean school, of "if they aren't paying attention, SHOUT AS LOUD AS YOU CAN"

Why We are Getting More Black Members

While surfing the internet, visiting a couple of liberal blogs, I came across this post.

snip
Blacks are a lost cause for the Republican party. The Republicans will never be able to promise them as many taxpayer-funded gimme programs as the Democrats.
Posted by M. Scott at 3:29 PM on October 18

That's right we would never be able to promise blacks as many taxpayer-funded gimme programs as the Democrats. Why? Because we are trying to change the education system with vouchers, and charter schools, so people from poorer districts won't need gimme programs.

You have highlighted M Scott, the basic difference between the Republicans and Democrats. We are enablers.

That is why, the Republican Party is enjoying recruiting Blacks to our Party. It shows the success. We want them off the dole. We want them to be a proud part of our Country.

Thank you for your post!

The Dems Who Shout Wolf


Well, well, well, when will they learn. Democrats have a very bad habit lately of convicting a person on a partial story out of the media. Pelosi yesterday asked for the resignation of Rove, as well as H. Clinton and J. Kerry. Isn't there an investigation going on?

They continually demand resignations of good Republicans who are working and doing their jobs. I only wish the Dems would do their work and quit trying to play politics with everything from the war to the Supreme Court.

Fortunately for us, once the investigations are carried through with, it is found that there was some misunderstanding or false story and the Democrats are then faced with going back to their offices to skim through more news and documents trying to find their next attack.

The only victims of these witch hunts seem to be the reporters. Just ask Dan Rather.

These false cries of wolf from the Dems are only a mere distraction. Someone should tell these guys to get to work on fixing Social Security, passing an Energy Bill. I for one am tired of my tax dollars going to pay them for weeks of ridiculous accusations. I mean come on, picking on Karl Rove. They have tried this before and it didn't work, and it won't work this time.

The Democratic party really should focus on it's own image. Howard Dean, who is travelling the country on his "shout" tour, has lied about who the Republicans are, and is constantly playing dirty politics with his hate rhetoric. Kennedy, Durbin, Pelosi, Clinton, and Kerry are also filling the air waves with their hate of the current administration. Calling the President a "liar" is so wrong and so juvenile. Continually calling for impeachments, and resignations is becoming a weekly mantra from the Dems.

The Dems who cry wolf are wasting everyone's valuable time and energy, costing our Government money, and distracting the nation from what's it focus should be on, defeating terrorism.

History Lesson



Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tame and created a business of trying to get MORE for nothing. Here ends today's lesson in world history. (a history lesson by Gary S.)

Tuesday, July 12, 2005

"It's disappointing that once again, so many Democrat leaders are taking their political cues from the far-left, Moveon wing of the party. The bottom line is Karl Rove was discouraging a reporter from writing a false story based on a false premise and the Democrats are engaging in blatant partisan political attacks."
-RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman

But then........look who is in charge of those Dems! Dean

Low Gross Low Net



Yeeeeeehaaaaaaa as Howard Dean would say, Dean, lol,

Played golf today and I won low gross and low net!

I'm being selfish today, and savoring my good day out on the links! So here's to all the Karl Rove bashers! Rove will prevail! Before throwing all those stones.......I'd take a look at Dean's record!

Hope your day was as fine as mine!

Rules of War


A friend sent me an email which moved me greatly. It was written by Col. Brett Wyrick, a commander of the 154th Medical Group, Hawaii Air National Guard, who is serving as a surgeon in Balad with the 332nd Expeditionary Medical Group. This excerpt is part of a series of email reports from Iraq that Wyrick has been sending to his father, a Vietnam-era fighter pilot, who in turn distributes them to a circle of friends and acquaintances.
The first rule of war is that young men and women die. The second rule of war is that surgeons cannot change the first rule. I think the third rule of war should be that those who have given their all for our freedom are never forgotten, and they are always honored. I wish there was not a war, and I wish our young people did not have to fight and die. But I cannot wish away evil men like Bin Laden and al-Zarqawi. These men are not wayward children who have gone astray; they are not great men who are simply misunderstood. These are cold-blooded killers and they will kill you, me, and everyone we love and hold dear if we do not kill them first. You cannot reason with these people, you cannot negotiate with these people, and this war will not be over until they are dead. That is the ugly, awful, and brutal truth.
I wish the situation was different, but it is not. Americans have two choices. They can run from the threat, deny it exists, candy-coat it, debate it, and hope it goes away. And then, Americans will be fair game around the world and slaughtered by the thousands for the sheep they have become.
Our second choice is to crush these evil men where they live and for us to have the political will and courage to finish what we came over here to do. The last thing we need here in Iraq is an exit strategy or some damn timetable for withdrawal. Thank God there was no timetable for withdrawal after the Battle of the Bulge or Iwo Jima. Thank God there was no exit strategy at Valley Forge. Freedom is not easy, and it comes with a terrible price - I saw the bill here yesterday.
The third rule of war should be that we never forget the sacrifices made by our young men and women, and we always honor them. We honor them by finishing what they came to accomplish. We remember them by never quitting and having the backbone and the guts to never bend to the yoke of oppression.
We honor them and remember them by having the courage to live free.

The Democratic's Birthday Wish to our President

http://www.democrats.org/page/petition/bushbirthdaycard
I was appalled at this card found and paid for by the Democratic Party. I'm sure there was a time in history when hate did not rule politics. I'm sure there was a time when on a President's Birthday, people came together to wish the man with a Birthday a genuine and positive message.

This card is pathetic and shows just how low this party is going. Glad I don't live in a State that is partipating in this card drive lol. How sad it is that this group can't even wish the Leader of our Nation, at a time of war, encouragement and good tidings.

WHAT I AM (my fav email)


In case you missed this $104,655.60 Ad in Washington Post. At last, here's someone with the money to fund a rebuttal to what one normally hears about Republicans. It doesn't matter if you are one or not, surely it's a clear insult when someone says many Republicans have never done an honest day's work - like Howard Dean claimed in a recent speech. Dean (click on Dean)If this information gets around, maybe the perception will change. The following full page ad was placed in the Washington Post by a businessman named George J. Esseff, Sr. He paid $104,655.60 to run the ad and only did it because he is sick and tired of the way that "The Rich" are portrayed by liberals thesedays It is a great read Maybe you're a Republican? In today's America, ask a growing number of high school and college students; their teachers and professors; the self-anointed media elite and/or hard working men and women of all ethnicities, the question, "What is a Republican?", and you'll be told"... a rich, greedy, egotistical individual, motivated only by money and the desire to accumulate more and more of it, at the expense of the environment. The working poor... and all whom they exploit..." I am a Republican. I am none of those things ... and I don't know any Republicans who are.>>WHAT I AM first and foremost, is a loving husband of some 52 plus years, the father of four and an American who's proud of his country...and his country's heritage WHAT I AM is the grandson of immigrants who risked every-thing, including their lives and those of their children, to escape tyranny in search of freedom. WHAT I AM is a man who grew up during the Depression and witnessed, first hand, the effects of the Stock Market crash and the soup lines> that followed. I watched as both my parents and grandparents, who had very little themselves, share what food they had with a half dozen other families, who had even less. WHAT I AM is someone who worked his way through college by holding down three and four jobs at a time and then used that education to build a better life. WHAT I AM is a husband who, at age 24, started his own business for the "privilege" of working 60, 70 and 80 hours a week, risking everything I had, including my health, in search of a better life for myself and my loved ones. WHAT I AM is a businessman whose blood, sweat and tears... and plenty of them..., made it possible for me to provide a secure living, not only for my family and myself, but also for literally hundreds of my employees throughout the years. Employees, who in turn, were able to buy their own homes, raise their own families and give back to their communities and their country. WHAT I AM is a man who believes in God; a God who has blessed this country... and all for which it stands. WHAT I AM is someone who knows, if you doubt miracles exist in today's world; you need only to look into the face of those who received them.. and the eyes of those who give them. WHAT I AM is an American who's proud that his President embraces a belief in God; proud of a President who understands, as "politically incorrect" as it may be, there is evil in this world and for the security and safety of all freedom loving people everywhere, it must be confronted... and it must be defeated. WHAT I AM is an American who takes comfort in the knowledge that our President refuses to allow decisions concerning the very safety and security of this nation, to be governed by the political whims of> foreign governments. WHAT I AM is tired of hearing from leading Democrats who see only negativity in America; racism in her people; class warfare in her society and "political incorrectness" in her character. WHAT I AM is a former democrat who now understands that it is the soldier and not the reporter that guarantees us our freedoms of press, speech and dissent. WHAT I AM is a man who believes in the sanctity of life. A man who is repulsed by the pandering of the political left for votes, at the expense of the unborn. WHAT I AM is a husband and father who believes in the sanctity of marriage and the preservation of the family unit. WHAT I AM is a ex-movie goer who is repulsed by those insecure, socially inept, elementary thinking, ego-inflated "entertainers" who> have appointed themselves "experts" in the fields of national security and geo-politics and then use their forum to attack this nation, its> leaders and its actions... much to the delight and encouragement of our enemies. WHAT I AM is an American who understands the difference between"censorship" and "choice". Evidently, these individuals do not, because when these same "celebrities" receive public ridicule for their offensive actions, the first thing they yell is "Censorship!" What they seem incapable of understanding is... the right of free speech and dissent is shared equally by those offended... as well as those who offend. I support and will continue to support those films and performers whom I choose to and refuse to support those I don't. It is my right as an American a right I will continue to enthusiastically exercise WHAT I AM is a voter, tired of politicians, who, every time their voting records are subjected to public scrutiny, try to divert attention from their political and legislative failures by accusing their opponents of "attack ads" and "negative campaigning"... and the news media who allow them to get away with it. WHAT I AM is a Catholic who loves his God and his Faith... and who's been taught to respect all religions whose teachings are based in love, peace and charity. As such, I am embarrassed and ashamed of those individuals, in both private and public life, whose decisions and actions are devoid of any sense of character or morals; individuals who are only driven by what's best for them... rather than what's right... often times at the expense of many... including our national security. WHAT I AM is a realist who understands that the terrorist attack that murdered hundreds of innocent Russian children could have occurred> here, in our heartland. That's why I sincerely believe America needs now, more than ever, a President who sees with a clear and focused vision and who speaks with a voice when heard by both friend and foe alike, is understood, respected and believed. WHAT I AM is eternally grateful to Ronald Reagan for having the> bravery to speak out against Communism and the courage of his convictions in leading the fight to defeat it; and George W. Bush for the vision, courage, conviction and leadership he has shown in America's war on terrorism amidst both the constant and vicious, personal and political attacks both he and his family are made to endure. WHAT I AM is a human being, full of numerous faults and failures, but> a man nonetheless, who, though not always successful, has continually strived to do "what's right" instead of "what's easy". A man who is challenging the religious leaders of all faiths, to not only preach to their congregations the fundamentals of "what's right" and "what's wrong", but to also then hold them accountable for their actions in both the public and private sectors. WHAT I AM is disgusted with the Courts who, on one hand, call the murder of a pregnant woman a "double homicide" but then refer to the abortion of her baby as, "pro-choice". WHAT I AM is someone deeply troubled by a political party which embraces a candidate whose primary "leadership" qualities center around his protesting of the Vietnam war and his labeling the honorable men and women who fought in it, (50,000 of whom gave their lives in that> action), as rapists, and war criminals. (John Kerry). That same political part then stepped forward this year to block the appearance of a true Vietnam war hero, retired Admiral and former United States Senator, Jeremiah Denton, (a man who spent seven years and seven torturous months in a North Vietnam prison), from speaking before an open session of the California legislature as part of that state's 4th of July celebration. The reason Democrats gave for refusing to allow this American hero to speak before their state legislature was because of the "conservative" nature of his views. As an American, that troubles me deeply... as> well it should you. (Are you listening Mr. B?)>> >> WHAT I AM is a man who feels the need to spend, ONE HUNDRED & FOUR>> >> THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED & FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($104, 655.60, tax>> >> paid) of his own money, to purchase this advertisement, in order to set the story straight. Some may say this money would have been better> spent feeding the world's poor. At the risk of sounding self-serving, as an American and as a Republican, for the last six decades of my life, I> have done exactly that... and more. Following the examples of my parents and grand parents, I have used my earnings to feed the poor, shelter the homeless, provide housing for the elderly and medical care for the sick... and continue to do so... and I'm not alone in that work. WHAT I AM is someone who is paying for this announcement, at my sole expense, in hopes of opening the eyes of those led blindly by ill-informed elements of our great nation, who, through either> ignorance, or malicious intent, repeatedly attack and belittle those of us who belong to a political party that holds true to the belief, "... the rights of the governed, exceed the power of the government". For those interested, I am speaking only as a tax-paying individual who is in no way associated with The Republican National Committee, nor with any of its directors, or delegates WHAT I AM is a man who understands, "the American way of life" is a message of self-empowerment for all. WHAT I AM is an American who is grateful that our nation gives each> of us the opportunity of self-determination and the right to benefit from the fruits of self achievement WHAT I AM is an American who wants to preserve that way of life for all who seek it. WHAT I AM is blessed to be an American... and proud to be a Republican!

Iraq and the "8's"

"The way ahead is not going to be easy," Bush cautioned. The killings and suicide bombings show that the insurgents have no regard for human life, he said. "The enemy's goal is to drive us out of Iraq before the Iraqis have established a secure, democratic government," Bush said. "They will not succeed."
**********
"You have given us something more than money," said al-Jaafari, who visited wounded U.S. troops Thursday night at a military hospital. "You have given us a lot of your sons, your children, that were killed beside our own children in Iraq ... This is more precious than any other kind of support we receive

IRONIC BUTTERFLY

G8 summit in Gleneagles "compromised" because of its sponsorship by the Ford Motor Company. I can see the logic in that, an international meeting on environmental problems sponsored by a company that makes cars that give off exhaust, THAT’S almost as bad as the $18,000 gift baskets given to the Live8 performers!

"Organizers of the concert, designed to raise awareness of crushing poverty in Africa, will show their gratitude to dozens of celebrities with a Hugo Boss duffel bag chock-full of high-fashion trinkets and designer drinks, valued at roughly $3,000.
In addition, the performers giving 15 minutes of stage time will be able to personalize their bags with big-ticket items including: Hugo Boss suits, valued between $800 and $1,000 each; XM satellite radios and subscriptions, $500; Seven jeans, $180 for men, $150 for women; Gibson guitars, $2,000; Borgata terry-cloth robes, $100; Boyd's ties, $125; 76ers garment bags and T-shirts, $330; Mitchell & Ness sweat suits, $330; and Bertolucci watches, valued between $1,500 and $6,000.
All told, a celebrity could walk away with a bag of gifts worth as much as $12,000." http://www.macon.com/mld/inquirer/news/front/12018430.htm

I Felt Like A Yankee Doodle Dandy!

Wow, was the 4th ever an emotional and inspirational Day! Swim games by the pool, so fun watching the kids compete for that blue ribbon. Wonderful picnic dinner with family. The Color Guard put the flag to bed, emotional with trumpet blaring, and young faces insides those uniforms. Beautiful fireworks after the thunderstorm. The rain on my clothes, getting drenched reminded me of the foul weather our troops go through each day. Uncomfortable. Then the "Tribute to the Troops" at Ford Theatre. Wow! Great Show!

I had such a great holiday, I'm not even going to comment on the news today, as a matter of fact I refused to even look at the news headlines on Yahoo as I signed on.

SO HELP ME GOD




Senator Ted Kennedy was quoted yesterday saying, "If the President abuses his power and nominates someone who threatens to roll back the rights and freedoms of the American people, then the American people will insist that we oppose that nominee and we intend to do so.'
I think it is important to remember here, which members of the Supreme Court were responsible for the last two rulings on the the Ten Commandments and Kelo.
Pelosi yesterday on Kelo, " It is a decision of the Supreme Court. If Congress wants to change it, it will require legislation of a level of a constitutional amendment. So this is almost as if God has spoken. It's an elementary discussion now. They have made the decision. When asked the following questions, "Do you think it is appropriate for municipalities to be able to use eminent domain to take land for economic development? Pelosi answered, "The Supreme Court has decided, knowing the particulars of this case, that was appropriate, and so I would support that. "
Meanwhile, yesterday in Oakland California.....City forces out two downtown businesses using the recent Supreme Court Ruling, http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/07/02/BAGO4DI6GJ1.DTL
As we move forward with Supreme Court nominees.......we must realize the importance of these appointments. We must not let fools like Pelosi, Kennedy, Reid, et al, distract this process. We must not settle. We need someone who will protect our rights and U.S. Constitution.

Rowboat Veterans for Truth

Okay, I was surfing the net, and today is Saturday, so we all need to laugh.
I thought this was too cute.

http://politicalhumor.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.rowboatvets.com/intro.htm

July - Will It Be The Month of the Filibuster?


It's Saturday and I am just sitting here imagining what the next couple of months are going to look like for any of Bush's Supreme Court nominees. Personally, I'd rather do a stint in GITMO than have to be interrogated by the Democratic Senators of late. It always amazes me, how they can so rudely ask questions, and attack characters of well educated people, who have proved themselves outstanding citizens in society. What even amazes me more is how someone like Ted Kennedy has the nerve to be rude to some of these people. His background is pretty sketchy, so what gives him the right to strut his pompous derriere and attack outstanding citizens willing to serve. We shall see. For me, I'm going to enjoy my Saturday.

Junes Hero of the Month


So many people to choose from this month, but I have to go with Ann Coulter for her June 29 article, "Thou Shalt Not Commit Religion." Wow, powerful comparisons. It brilliantly explains the ridiculous ruling by the Supreme Court on the Ten Commandments and sadly shows the declining state of our Country.
I salute Ann Coulter, my heroine for the month of June.

Guess Dean Was Wrong, We Are Not All White Christians


"Still, to many prominent Republicans, Mr. Swann, a commentator for ABC Sports, is much more than a potentially strong contender for governor in 2006. He is, they hope, part of a new crop of prominent black candidates who could help the Republicans crack, if not break, Democratic domination among black voters in several important states.
In Maryland, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, black Republicans - all of whom have been groomed by the national party - are expected to run for governor or the United States Senate next year. Several other up-and-coming black Republicans are expected to run for lower statewide offices in Missouri, Ohio, Texas and Vermont in 2006. ... " copied from GOP Team Leader Site

United We Stand Divided We Fall



If only Dean would stop screaming at Republicans and take his fight to the real enemy, this world would be a lot more peaceful. I'm still trying to figure out why he would yell like that at white, christian people who all look alike....lol, I mean how scarey are we anyway? Dean (click on Dean)


"James Robbins of NRO http://www.nationalreview.com/robbins/robbins200506060801.asp makes the interesting point that Iraqis are more positive about the direction their country is going than Americans are about America. The point is that if we are going to have a public discussion of how the war is going or whether we should be optimistic about the future of Iraq (and I think we should be), our views should be based on something more substantial than off-the-cuff remarks by political spokesmen. It is understandable that news coverage will focus on violence, and administration critics will spin events as negatively as possible. But if solid majorities of Iraqis believe conditions are improving, I think we should take them at their word. They have a better grip on their own reality than we do. "
I do believe if the media and elected officials got behind our Country, even if they did not support the war fully, kept their mouths shut long enough so we could win this war, with the appearance of being united, our Country would have improved world image and be stronger for it. Hey, we might even win this war against terrorists. The Democrats just continue to wage war on Republicans and ignore the real enemy of our Country.
