As far back as I can remember, polls have been "so important" to what the American people are thinking. But here is the problem with the polls.

You people seem to think that God is in your polls, when in all actuality, your precious polls are usually wrong.

It all has to do with the way that you either ask the questions, or you only ask Liberals. Either way you can get the results that you want.....if you are a Democrat. Here is what they will do.

They will ask a question that could have two possible answers, like: Do you like President Bush and do you like that we are at war? Most would say yes they like Bush, but most would also say they don't like that we are at war.....so they use the second part of the question to use in their polls...showing a lower rating for the President.....

.....or they will only ask Liberals, like going to a Liberal College, where they know that almost everyone is Liberal....skewing the results to the way they want.

A good example of this was the last election. Almost all of the polls said that President Bush was losing and would lose...all the way up to the end of the day of the election...and the papers and the Democrats were so surprised when he did win again!

Now, that the President is the president, I say to hell with the polls. To Hell with the Democrats....he should give a speech...and below is what he should say....to hell with anyone who thinks differently. This needs to be said...and said very soon........

(below is not a speech made by the president, but one that he should make.)

Now wouldn't that be great? It would do several things. It would let the world know, that we mean business......it would let the world know that we are no longer the teat that they can all suck on when needed, only to hate us all the time.....it would let the world know that we are no longer their doormat...and it would let the Liberals know that we are no longer going to take their crap. Wouldn't that be great? Too bad that it won't happen......

If the politicians would just stop playing politics with our money, they would see them too. And there are many. Ones that will be discussed here.

The income tax system of this country has been in place for a long time, and with taxes going up every year, even though they don't have too, it is becoming evident that the government is taking much more than it's fair share, and much more than it needs to take.

And almost anyone who wants to know what is going on, can find out. Though talking to your government representatives may not be the way to go about this, as most oppose the FairTax Plan. I think mainly because they are afraid that they may lose some money to support the cushy lifestyle that most of them have grown accostomed too. Ones like Teddy Kennedy are the worst of the bunch. And that is complete bull.

They were, for one thing, not elected to become rich or live like Kings, even though ones like the idiot listed above think so, they were elected to represent US.

But getting away from that, here is how the FairTax Plan would work, and how, if implemented, would not only help America, but save Americans headaches come April 15th. For one thing, there would be NO income tax. No income tax means NO APRIL 15TH DEADLINE FOR TAXES. And that in itself would be a good enough reason don't you think? Here is how the FairTax Plan would work:

A Brief Summary of the FairTax Plan

The Fair Tax proposal is a comprehensive plan to replace federal income and payroll taxes, including personal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security/Medicare, self-employment, and corporate taxes. The FairTax proposal integrates such features as a progressive national retail sales tax, dollar-for-dollar revenue replacement, and a rebate to ensure that no American pays such federal taxes up to the poverty level. Included in the FairTax Plan is the repeal of the 16th Amendment of the Constitution. The FairTax allows Americans to keep 100 percent of their paychecks (minus any state income taxes), ends corporate taxes and compliance costs hidden in the retail costs of goods and services, and fully funds the federal government while fulfilling the promise of Social Security and Medicare.

Americans take home their whole paychecks.
Not only do more Americans have jobs, but they also take home 100 percent of their paychecks (except where state income taxes apply). No federal income taxes or payroll taxes are withheld from paychecks, pensions, or Social Security checks.

No Federal sales tax up to the peverty level means progressivity like today's tax system.
To ensure no American pays tax on necessities, the FairTax plan provides a prepaid, monthly rebate (prebate) for every registered household to cover the consumption tax spent on necessities up to the federal poverty level. This, along with several other features, is how the FairTax completely untaxes the poor, lowers the tax burden on most, while making the overall rate progressive. However, the FairTax is progressive based on lifestyle/spending choices, rather than simply punishing those taxpayers who are successful. Do you see how much freer life is with the FairTax instead of the income tax?

No Tax on used goods. The amount you pay to fund the government is totally visible.
With the FairTax, you are only taxed once on any good or service, that sales tax is charged just as state sales taxes are today. If you choose to buy used goods - used car, used home, used appliances - you do not pay the FairTax. If, as a business owner or farmer, you buy something for strictly business purposes (not for person consumption), you pay no consumption tax. When you decide what to buy and how much to spend, you see exactly how much you are contributing to the government with each purchase.

Retail prices no longer hide corporate taxes or their compliance costs, with drive up costs for those who can least, afford to pay.
Did you know that hidden income taxes and the cost of complying with them currently makde up 20 percent of more percent of all retail prices? It's true. According to Dr. Dale Jorgenson of Harvard University, hidden income taxes are passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices - from an average 22 percent on goods to an average 25 percent on services - for everything you buy. If competition does not allow prices to rise, corporations lower labor costs, again hurting those who can lease afford to lose their jobs. Finally, if prices are as high as competition allows and labor costs are as low as prctical, profits/dividends to shareholders are driven down, thereby hurting retirement savings for moms-and-pops and pension funds invested in Corporate America. With the FairTax, the sham of corporate taxation ends, competiton drives prices down, more people in America have jobs, and retirement/pension funds see improved performance.

The incometax exports our tobs, rather than our products. The FairTax brings jobs home.
Most importaly, the FairTax does not burden U.S. exports as they are with the current income tax. So the FairTax allows U.S. exports to sell overseas for prices 22 percent lower, on average, than they do now, with similar profit margins. Lower pirces sharply increase demand for U.S. exports, thereby increasing job creation in U.S. manufacturing sectors. At home, imports are subject to the same FairTax rate as domestically produced goods. Not only does the FairTax put U.S. products sold here on the same tax footing as foreign imports, but the dramatic lowering of compliance costs in comparision to other countries' value-added taxes also gives U.S. products a definitive pricing advantage which foreign tax systems cannot match.

The FairTax strategy is revenue neutrality: Neither raise nor lower taxes so consumer costs remain stable.
The FairTax pays for all current government operations, including Social Security and Medicare. Government revenues are more stable and predictable than with the federal income tax because consumption is a more constant revenue base than is income.

For example, if you were in a 23 percent income tax bracket, the federal government would take $23.00 out of every $100.00 you made. With the FairTax, if the federal government gets $23 out of every $100 spent in America, the same total revenue is delivered to the federal government. This is revenue neutrality. So, instead of paycheck-earning Americans paying 7.65 percent of their paychecks in Social Security/Medicare payroll taxes, pubs an average of 18 percent of their paychecks in federal income tax, for a total of about 25.65 percent, consumers in America pay only $23 out of every $100. Or about 30 percent at the cash resister when they elect to spend on new goods or services for their own personal consumption. And this tax is collected only on spending above the federal poverty level, providing important progressivity.

So you see, you can work with the FairTax plan.....and so can the Government, even though 99% of the Representatives in Washington say it can't be done. The only thing that you really have to do is to use Common Sense and you will see it too. Read the above that was taken from http://fairtaxgroups.com/index.php?topic=454.0

Go there and read it for yourself, or go to Neal Boortz.com and read about it. It is a very worthwhile thing, and will only serve to help America if it is ever implemented.

I checked out the link above and if copied and pasted into the address bar, it does work. As always........always remember,

God Bless America

He said that even his children don't like him taking off his glasses anymore cause of his eyes......trouble that started with Sadaam.

Here is what the Liberals, and John McCain are forgetting. Thousands of people were tortured and murdered under Sadaam, and the only things that the Liberals, (and John McCain) seem to see is the false "allegations" of torture at "Club Gitmo" as Rush calls it. When in all actuality the prisoners there are fed well, and treated good. Not what you would expect in a prison. No torture is being executed there. As I have shown before here, Torture is Illegal, and it isn't being instigated by the United States. It IS by Osama Bin Ladin and the Terrorists, but not by us.

The only reason torture was even brought up was because of a speech that President Bush gave where he said that some of the prisoners were being interrogated intensely to get information from them. You people have to realise, that this has to be done, to save the lives of many Americans.

People, even though we do not hold an elected office in government, we actually hold more power than they do, though it seems just the opposite is true.

People like Ted Kennedy and John Kerry seem to be able to say anything they want about the United States, and nothing is written about the torture of people by Sadaam, or the Terrorists, Osama Bin Ladin or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad! Can't you people see that these guys mean business? They also take all your lying rhetoric as weakness in the United States. It's your ideas that helped us to lose in Vietnam....and do not think for a minute that the Terrorist cells haven't learned this part of our history. And the Liberals are using the same illogical ideas with the war on Terror....and if we let them continue, we will lose that war too, and then after that happens, the Islamic Radicals will take over Europe next, then it will be on to the United States, and since the Liberals are tying our hands at defending ourselves, they will win then when they come here.

And Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is now part of the problem. He claims that the Holocaust in Nazi Germany is a Myth that never happened...and he will do his best to make sure that his view of the worlds history is rewritten to be like he wants it to be. Just like the Liberals here in the United States has been doing for the Last 50 years!

You people who are the Democrats and the Liberals just don't have to brains to get the idea that we are at war, and the only way for us to get out of it and keep our freedoms is to fight it to the finish, and finish it on OUR terms. There is no other way. And you keep saying that there haven't been more attacks on the United States since 9/11, but hell can't you people think for a moment and figure that maybe Bush has done a good job, and that has kept us from being attacked again? Sure that is the reason but you all think that he isn't doing any good cause there have been over 400 attacks all around the world. Couldn't it be because the know they can't do it here again, so they will do it everywhere else, while threatening to do it again here? You people have got to get your brains in gear. There is no other way.......

Think about it people....the Liberals and John McCain only seem to be worried about the well being and the rights of the Terrorists...but are they concerned about yours? If they are, they are not showing it. The only concern they seem to be showing is for the enemy......NOT YOU. You have to remember, if we are not aggressive here in this war on terror...we will lose, cause EVIL is aggressive, and aggressiveness will always will....

Cause if we don't win this one.....you will no longer be able to freely say things like......

God Bless America.....
.....think on that and be dismayed...cause that is the course that you are taking us.......

Essentially, the President shot back with “Colin Powell? Who is that when it comes to what is happening today?” I loved it. Bush finally put his foot down and got it right.

Reuters' Steve Holland: "Senator McCain says your plan would put US troops at risk. What do you think about that?"

President Bush: Common Article 3 says that there will be "no outrages upon human dignity." That's very vague. What does that mean, "outrages upon human dignity"? It's a statement that is wide open to interpretation. What I'm proposing is that there be clarity in the law so that our professionals will have no doubt that that which they are doing is legal. Sometimes you actually have to question the people who know the strategy and plans of the enemy. The courts said that you've got to live under Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, and the standards are so vague that our professionals won't be able to carry forward the program because they don't want to be tried as war criminals! They don't want to break the law. They're not going forward with the program. They're not going to. The professionals will not step up unless there's clarity in the law. So Congress has got a decision to make: You want the program to go forward, or not? I strongly recommend that this program go forward in order for us to be able to protect America.

Most of these Questions that were asked by the press to the Preseident were totally ridicuous. LIke for instance, Gregory of NBC, said, "Mr. President, critics of your program on interrogation rules say that there's another important test. These days critics include John McCain, and that test is this: If a CIA officer or paramilitary or special operations soldier from the US were captured in Iran and North Korea and they were roughed up and those governments said, 'Well, they were interrogated in accordance with our interpretation of the Geneva Conventions, and then they were put on trial, and they were convicted based on secret evidence they were not able to see,' how would you react to that as commander-in-chief?"

President Bush: My reaction is that if the nations such as those you named adopted the standards within the Detainee Detention Act, the world would be better. That's my reaction. We're trying to clarify law. We're trying to set high standards, not ambiguous standards. We can debate this issue all we want, but the practical matter is: if our professionals don't have clear standards in the law, the program is not going to go forward. David, you can give a hypothetical about North Korea or any other country. The point is that the program is not going to go forward if our professionals do not have clarity in the law, and the best way to provide clarity in the law is to make sure the Detainee Treatment Act is the crux of the law -- and the bottom line is simple. If Congress passes a law that does not clarify the rules, if they do not do that, the program is not going forward.

Throughout that answer, Gregory kept trying to reask his question, but the president would have nothing of it. It was actually fun to see. The President...one of the most even tempered people I have ever watched...finally let the press have it with both barrels, and it was fun to watch their reactions.

To follow up a little, here are some questions for you. Did the North Koreans honor the Conventions as interpreted by our courts when they took the USS Pueblo and tortured the sailors? [NO] Did the North Vietnamese abide by the Geneva Conventions when they tortured McCain? [NO] Heck people, the Geneva Conventions were in existence for 20 years at that time! The communists didn't care.

David Frum, National Review Online, on the blog they call The Corner. It’s very fascinating, and shows the potential Machiavellian characteristics of McCain's personality. Here is what David Frum said:

"Some [people] have wondered whether the president's proposal was not timed to help Republicans in the 2006. I asked that question in this space last week. OK: now let me suggest we do the unthinkable and submit Sen. McCain's actions to the same suspicious scrutiny. Most political observers agree that the worse Republicans do in 2006, the more likely they are to turn to McCain's maverick candidacy in 2008. Republicans don't like or trust McCain, but they want to win – and the more they are convinced that their party is otherwise in serious trouble, the more likely they are to believe that McCain's anti-party candidacy is the solution.

"McCain may have heard these theories too. If he has, and if he agrees, is it not in his interest to maximize Republican losses in 2006? If a vote on military commissions would embarrass Democrats," and at the same time help Republicans, "does it not help Democrats to prevent such a vote from occurring before Nov. 2?" Is it that McCain only wants to stall this so that there's no action before the election, thereby not helping the president, thereby helping the Democrats? The point here is that McCain is only helping himself and the Democrats for the election of 2008.
Now, don’t ask “who would come up with this cockamamie idea?" I will tell you again. Mr. Frum has come up with it. When you hear it does it not resonate? And to those of you, who have pretty good knowledge of Senator McCain, does it sound possible to you? Does it sound possible that he's megalomaniacal enough, desirous of the White House enough that he would throw his own party under the bus in order to enhance his own electoral chances? I think that he is. And he shows that personality trait more and more all the time. It isn’t that far off of what could be the true thing that is happening here. McCain, just like Kerry, wants the Presidency, and he doesn’t care who or what he hurts to get it. They are both cut from the same cloth....the only difference is, that McCain isn’t proud of being a Liberal so he disguises it in a Republican moniker. Kerry on the other hand....is what he professes...a Liberal to the core. Watch out for these two. It would not be good for our country if they were the two running for President in 2008!

End of Part Two

"Since actual torture is already illegal, it would be helpful if Mr. Warner [and McCain and Graham], could explain what interrogation methods or punishment they object to (loud music? interrogating someone for a prolonged period of time? limiting commissary privileges?) even if it lessens the likelihood of preventing the next attack on Washington or on U.S. servicemen in Kabul or Baghdad."

Torture is illegal folks. That isn’t what the president is asking for, but that is just the opposite of what the Liberals and John McCain are talking about. They have no clue.

The New York Times said yesterday: "Stampeding Congress -- We'll find out in November how well the White House's 'be very afraid' campaign has been working with voters." The New York Times should check their own polling data. They would be stunned and shocked and surprised. "We already know it's working in Congress," they say, "stampeded by the fear of looking weak on terrorism, lawmakers are rushing to pass a bill demanded by the president that would have mingle impact on anti-terrorist operations but could cause profound damage to justice and the American way. "

When was the last time anybody of the New York Times editorial board was anywhere near an interrogation of terrorists to understand whether or not the impact is minimal? The New York Times is more ignorant on this subject than probably the average American Citizen!

Drive-By Media is panting over McCain's "Republican rebellion" against Bush. The Democrats can't agree on anything, but according to them, they never have rebellions. Norah O'Donnell from MSNBC, Dana Bash, CNN, Brit Hume, Brian Lamb, Shepard Smith, Charlie Gibson, all saying "Republican rebellion."

O'DONNELL: President Bush surprised the press corps today announcing a press conference. He is under fire facing a Republican rebellion from John McCain, Colin Powell --

BASH: -- a Republican rebellion over how to treat terror detainees.

HUME: President Bush faced an outright rebellion today at the hands of four influential Republican senators.

LAMB: President Bush is facing a Republican rebellion --

SMITH: Rebellion against the president, and battle lines drawn within the GOP.

GIBSON: Members of president's own party in rebellion against the White House.

The Drive By Media, (as Rush calls it) is just that. They seem to drive in packs, so that they all say the same thing. They get those “nifty” little catch phrases or words, and it seems they ALL use it to describe something. Remember Gravitas? That word in itself amazed me. I mean, how many people use that word......and then suddenly, every reporter out there was using it in a short burst of “gravitas” that the news media was orgasming about. Now that word is Republican Rebellion, and you can see the same excitement in their tones as they all use it. Wonder what the next one will be.....and make no mistake...there will be a NEXT one.

The other night, in The Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer interviewed Senator McCain, and he said, "Colin Powell, among other US retired military personnel, agreeing with you that if this doesn't change, if the president's position stands, it would endanger US troops serving around the world. Do you speak with a little authority on this as a former POW yourself? Go into a little bit more specific detail. Why do you think the fighting men and women of the US could be endangered if the president gets his way?"

MCCAIN: Suppose that we amend the Geneva Conventions to our interpretation of it, then another country that is not quite as democratic as ours decides they will amend their version, a Special Forces person is captured by them, and their attorney general tells their secret police, "Okay, here's our interpretation of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. Have at them." That's what people are worried about.

Do you really think that is what people are worried about? Let me tell you what they are worried about. They are worried about Politicians like McCain, Kennedy, Kerry, Schumer, Durbin, Palosi and others of their ilk getting into power and then inplementing their ideas. That is what people are afraid of, Senator McCain!
Rush Limbaugh brought up another one that was said during this time in the News, (and this is from his show), ...an interesting question: What if these detainees are being denied their [Second Amendment] rights to carry arms? Will Senator McCain step in and do something about this, or the lawyers for the Al-Qaeda terrorists who are at Club Gitmo? (More on that in just a second.) In the first place, as far as that media montage with the media saying, "Ah, Republican rebellion, Republican rebellion," there is no Republican rebellion. There are 45 Democrats who oppose the interrogations joined by a handful of liberal Republicans led by McCain, the usual suspects. There is no Republican rebellion. Now let's get first things first here. This section of the Geneva Conventions, Common Article 3, doesn't even apply in this war except the Supreme Court said that it does!

You think dictators are going to apply this section of the Conventions to themselves because our court says it should be even though it doesn't apply? And even if we get a bill that McCain likes, are the world's dictators and thugs going to abide by it? What is this incessant need to draw some kind of moral equivalence between our enemy and ourselves? Now, when Bush says: "Okay, I have to follow the court, but I want us to properly interpret the section so we can conduct useful interrogations," what does McCain do? McCain says no! This is the guy who held up the Senate for his own torture bill. This is the guy who stopped everything in order to define what is torture, and now he's doing it all over again.

We're not "amending" the Geneva Conventions! We are simply interpreting them because it is vague, and it is broad. So we've gone from the Geneva Conventions not even applying to these...shreds of human debris, to having them apply to terrorists, to preventing us from interrogating terrorists effectively! Thank you, Senator McCain. Thank you, Senator Graham, and thank you, Senator Warner -- not to mention all the Democrats who have actually been leading the way on this before Senator McCain started to throw his hat in the ring. On a little side note, I wonder how the Democrats feel about this. Democrats were leading this charge. Democrats are hoping to win the election on this. Now McCain has taken all their glory! McCain is getting all the oxygen in the room. It's "McCain's opposition." Durbin's gotta be furious. Dingy Harry's gotta be furious.

Yes, they are! Don't think that they're loving the politics of this, because their egos will triumph over the politics. They want to make an election issue out of it. They'll be glad to welcome McCain and the boys to it to defeat the plan because they want to defeat the plan, too. But they want to be the ones signified and notarized as the ones carrying the ball on this. So, again, we've gone from the Geneva Conventions not even applying to terrorists to having them apply to terrorists, to preventing us from interrogating terrorists effectively. This is going to go down as the event that will result in us getting hit again, and if we do, and if McCain, et al, prevail, I can tell you where fingers are going to be pointed on this program: at every senator, Republican or Democrat, who stood in the way here.


There is no "Republican rebellion." Forty-five Democrats opposed the interrogations, joined by a handful of the usual suspects on the Republican side, led by McCain. This is nothing new! We've seen this before. McCain does this all the time: joining with the Democrats to undermine the president. Now, Dick Durbin, the senator from Illinois, said on TV this morning: people going to end up forgetting McCain and Warner and Graham if there is blame for holding this up, and that Bush and everybody will blame the Democrats. They deserve some blame! There are 45 of them leading the charge, and they've been on board for a long time.

They've been trying to sabotage victory over this enemy for years. You deserve blame, Senator Durbin. It sounds like he wants it, sounds like he's hoping they forget McCain. He might be scared. I hope he is scared, but you know, you make your bed, you lay in it -- lie in it, sleep in it, whatever you do in it. People do different things with beds. Back to the audio sound bites. Another McCain, Wolf Blitzer with another penetrating, hard hitting, tough question: "How concerned are you that the three powerful Republican senators, you being McCain, Lindsey Graham, John Warner, that some Republicans might say you're giving aid and comfort to Democrats during this very, very bitter political season, less than eight weeks before the election?" Here is where I just can’t stand it anymore. Senator McCain is being just as big a fool as the Liberals are. Thinking that he has the support of the nation, when he really doesn’t. The only difference between the Liberals and the Moral majority, is the fact that the Liberals have big mouths and an addiction to being in front of the cameras. That is all. But he still carries on with the following:

MCCAIN: There are Senate Republicans that agree with us and there's other people around the country like General Colin Powell who agrees with us. This is not -- this should have nothing to do with politics. Nothing! This is about the lives of American men and women who are serving our country. I believe that we can work out our differences, and I will bend every effort to do so. It's very important, not because we have an election coming up, but because we have men and women who are serving in the military who need every protection we can provide them with.

Senator, have you read Richard Miniter's piece in the New York Post, the piece Rush led his program Friday off with? Rush said it was insulting to him.....well, I have to agree...but I think it is insulting to all of us. I, like Rush can understand the concern for the American Soldiers. But you know that they knew what they were signing up for. They don’t need to be treated like babies, cause they signed up themselves. They have been trained for this. They know what they are doing. They are the fighting forces of the United States, and they don't need to be treated like children like your trying to treat everybody else in this country, and you don't need to humiliate them by forcing them to treat terrorists down at Club Gitmo the way they're apparently being forced to treat them. And to top this whole thing off, Senator Dick Durbin said this on it:

DURBIN: We went through this administration's effort to redefine torture, to abandon Geneva Conventions that we have stood by for decades. We saw the scandals of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Arthur Schlessinger, Jr., a noted historian, says that the issue of torture "has damaged the image of America in the world more than anything in our history." Torture. Torture under the Bush-Cheney administration --

Durbin should know that this is total BS. Can’t these people get it through their thick skulls that this is wrong? I am beginning to think that their skulls are too thick, and it has cut off the oxygen supply to their brains and their brains are dead.

The fun part about the President’s last speech is that he finally put his foot down. In the speech, at the beginning, responding to McCain about interrogations of monsters like Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the President made his feelings known...very hard.....taking it right to McCain.....




President Bush: Khalid Shaikh Mohammed described the design of planned attacks on buildings inside the US and how operatives were directed to carry 'em out. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping. He gave us information that helped uncover Al-Qaeda's cells' efforts to obtain biological weapons. We've also learned information from the CIA program that has helped stop other plots, including attacks on the US Marine base in east Africa, our American consulate in Pakistan, Britain's Heathrow Airport.

This program has been one of the most vital tools in our efforts to protect this country. Were it not for this program, our intelligence community believes that Al-Qaeda and its allies would have succeeded in launching another attack against the American homeland. By giving us information about terrorist plans we couldn't get anywhere else, this program has saved innocent lives. I'm asking Congress to pass a clear law with clear guidelines, based on the Detainee Treatment Act that was strongly supported by Senator John McCain. There is a debate about the specific provisions in my bill, and we'll work with Congress to continue to try to find common ground.




Then came the questions. Terry Hunt, AP, says: "Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says the world's beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism. Now, if a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a former secretary of state feels that way, don't you think that Americans and the rest of the world are beginning to wonder whether you're following a flawed strategy, Mr. President?"

John Kerry recently volunteered that he was prepared to “kick [the Swift Boat Veterans’] ass from one end of America to the other” and that he would “demolish” us. He ought to take a Christmas cruise to Cambodia to calm down. Maybe he could take a side trip to tour “Genghis Khan” ruins.

It is a little difficult to imagine Kerry (“I voted for it before I voted against it”) kicking the most decorated living serviceman, Bud Day, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, or our salty commander, Adm. Roy Hoffman, anywhere. Perhaps Kerry had in mind using a “Rice Fanny Grenade” as he did by mistake on himself shortly before leaving Vietnam. If so, based on the record, he is in far more danger than anyone else.

Kerry and his friends certainly seem to show much greater anger and hatred toward us than toward the murderous al Qaeda terrorists. This is actually a positive thing. Based on his record of switching to adopt the North Vietnamese position in 1971 and (after voting to send our kids to Iraq) proposing to cut and run in Iraq, it is likely that Kerry will be endorsing our positions by 2008 and (in his words) “Swift Boating” himself. If not, it is OK. After living for 34 years with his claim that our comrades, living and dead, were like the army of Genghis Khan, we will always remember and be grateful for the support of the American people in 2004. Nothing he will ever say can demolish that or will speak nearly so loudly.

Mr. O'Neill is a Houston attorney who clerked for Chief Justice William Rehnquist during the Supreme Court's October 1974 term. He authored the New York Times No. 1 bestseller, "Unfit for Command" in 2004.

Now all I have to say about Kerry is that he is a complete blithering idiot. When it comes to making a stand, he doesn't know how to do that. All he knows how to do is to make sure that his comments come at a time that will get his ugly face on the news.

Well this time he really put his foot in it by trying to make everyone think that he is "the war hero that resides in his own mind, and no where else.
John (I did it before I didn't) Kerry is a joke, that would do this country a whole lot of good if he would just go off somewhere and disappear. His best attribute is to lie, and he does that very well. To him the truth is the alien thing, and I don't think he even knows what the truth is.

In my post for yesterday, I quoted a paper written by Retired Army Command Sergeant Major, J. D. Pendry, who writes for Random House, that hit the nail right on the head directly when he talked about Kerry. "John Kerry. Dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our Soldiers of terrorizing women in Iraq. Iraq, the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time' the same words you used to describe Vietnam."

Now that is correct. The only thing that Kerry can come up with that is the same as something he said before, is if another situation of the same kind comes up and then he can go back through his Rhetoric....always the same...always changing the same ways...always wrong!

John Kerry, you, like Ted Kennedy should be ashamed of yourself. If you two would ever learn how to tell the absolute truth, I think the world would come to an end. Your lies are the only things about you that is consistant. You really need to get a life, and learn Religion. It would do you both good. Maybe Jesus could correct you and set you on the right path. Actually I know He could....but you two are so stupid and dense, that you won't find that out till Judgement day, and by then it will be too late to realize your mistakes in your lying. By then you will be residing with all your drinking buddies in the hot place below.

That time can't come too soon for me.

God bless America

Mood:  bright

The war that the UN stopped between Israel and Hezbollah only hurt Israel, but it was almost crucial for us, for Israel to win that. Since we were instrumental in keeping that from happening, then we have consequences that ARE going to hit us. And the Liberals are the ones who will not believe this....but wait till it happens, they will be the ones to say..."what happened? Why didn't the republicans do anything?"

The Democrats, in their minds are never wrong. And in the event that they are, (which is most of the time) they turn the blame to anyone else around...cause in their minds they are NEVER wrong. But I am here to let them know that they are almost always wrong.

But that was only the first story that I have here to press my point on your idiotic liberal ideas. Here is the second, written by a Vietnam Vet, named J.D. Pendry, who is a retired Army Command Sergeant Major, who writes for Random House and is copywrited J.D. Pendry 2006.

This is pretty strong stuff. It represents one way to look at the people who are involved in opposing the current war and is also critical of GWB in a way that I too find fault with him. Enough fault
for everyone. When I was still on the battlefield, anchored at Nha Be, directly alongside the Rung Sat Special Zone, Congress voted to cut the funding for us folks fighting the war I was in. We had no one at home to watch our back. Same now. The guys on the line are doing their job fighting the enemy outwardly, our President needs to lead the charge fighting those who would undermine our troops by fighting them inwardly. No one did that for us, and you know the bitterness i feel about that.

NO PUNCHES PULLED HERE.

JIMMY CARTER, you're the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the runner-in-Chief.

BILL CLINTON, you played ring around Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia, and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses embolden the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately they grew bolder, until 9/11.

JOHN KERRY, Dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our Soldiers of terrorizing women in Iraq. Iraq, the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time; the same words you used to describe Vietnam.

JOHN MURTHA, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof. And said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert. Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phoney and a disgrace. Run away John.

DICK DURBIN, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned South East Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraquis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? See Dick run.

TED KENNEDY, for days on end you held poster sized pictures from Abu Grhaib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraqis torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see the news this week Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrate real torture for you again. If you truly supported our troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You're a bloated fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked rear-end in Washington.

Harry Reid, Nancy Palosi, carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Chuck Schumer, et al ad nauseam. Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied. That the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers. That we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers the same ones that tortured and mutilated American soldiers - cause to think that we will run away again and all they have to do is hang on a little longer.

American news media, the New York Times particularly. Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer. You are America's axis of idiots. Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our Soldiers home, as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies. Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questiong why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. you need to urn away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.

No,Commander in Cheif, you don't get off the hook either. Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside, and those who attempt it from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting the axis of idiots. America must hear it from you that these people are harming our country, abetting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well up a little anger please, and channel it towar the appropriate target. You must procescute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must procecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets. Our Soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it now!'

This article was written like I said by J.D. Pendry and is something that almost every American needs to read. We are in danger here, and we need to realize this. Cause if we don't, this country will cease to exist as I have said before, and it will not be in a good way. America....the choice is yours. Become the pawns and slaves of Islamic Extremists? or Stay free Americans. If your answer is to stay Free Americans, then you need to stop the crap that the Liberals are handing us daily, and let them know that they need to stop it too. America IS worth fighting for and to keep our freedoms, we need to fight. To hell with the Cindy Sheehan's of the world, people who are just bitter pariahs of the worst kind. We need to let her know she is wrong....the Liberals are WRONG. America needs to stand up and do the right thing. Finally.

God Bless America....
