For some reason Bush chose not to go after Hanoi John after the 2004 election when he was all over the world talking policy. Hopefully this time he will go after Peelosi with the Logan act if she runs off at the mouth.

This is the first time I’ve posted here. First and foremost, allow me to say that I will keep Marine Corporal David Emery Jr. in my prayers. Second, your comparison of The Democrat Party and Al Qaeda is dead on. Our enemy is no longer solely overseas. If allowed to continue it’s political terror, the Democrat Party will force our nation, against it’s will, to failure and defeat in Iraq. I thank you, Pat, and all who frequent this blog, for supporting our nation and our troops in this time of war. I look forward to further postings and constructive conversation.

Sincerely,

Justin T. Cooke, M.D.

With reports of progress in Iraq, the issue is turning in McCain’s favor. McCain hasn’t changed his tune. His support for the war has been unswerving. “Some people say, hey, aren’t you worried about the presidential race?” McCain told me. “Please!” When you see wounded soldiers from Iraq in wheelchairs and on crutches, he says, that should be enough to dissolve any political considerations.

McCain’s convention address is still the best explanation of why it was necessary to topple Saddam Hussein. “Our choice wasn’t between a benign status quo and the bloodshed of war,” he said. “It was between war and a graver threat. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. . . .Whether or not Saddam possessed the terrible weapons of mass destruction he once had and used, freed from international pressure and the threat of military action, he would have acquired them again. . . . We couldn’t afford the risk posed by an unconstrained Saddam in these dangerous times.”

thanks nancy,

marines are always glad to die for your bad ideals

it seems this kind of rhetoric is what will get a democrats attention, but a politicians visit to an enemy country doesnt seem to register. I think nancy should try running for president….of Iran. She certainly has many friends there.(her home away from home)

If Bush or anyone else on the right would have done the exact same thing the left would have had a fit. They would also bitch about not being briefed on it beforehand and having time to prepare a proper response.

Pelosi going to Syria probably caused several simultaneous orgasms on her side of the isle. If only it was legal to smoke a cigarette in the capitol.

“If the president vetoes the supplemental appropriations bill and continues to resist changing course in Iraq, I will work to ensure this legislation [ending funding for combat operations after March 31, 2008] receives a vote in the Senate in the next work period,” Reid said in a statement.

I could have sworn the ‘early-morning’ version of this story was even more galling and pretentious then it is now. Actually I know it was because I saved the first sentence from it - for a purpose (I previously ‘e-mailed’ Sen. Reid many days ago… basically to accuse him of “evil” intent, of being a “self-serving crook” as well as a “shallow/small man”).

H. Reid’s open display of thoroughly monstrous arrogance, especially when considering recent events, really ‘bent’ me out of shape. So I decided to use his ‘web-form’ again… and using the early-morning ‘quote’ as the lead off - threw most of my previous attempts at ‘restraint’ out the window. Below is my ‘form submission’ to Sen. Reid:

“WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday he will try to cut off funding for the Iraq war if President Bush rejects Congress’ proposal to set a deadline for ending combat.” To hell with ‘civility’… you sir are a pig-eyed sack of s**t. Your treasonous actions are, and will be, directly responsible for the grievous injuries and deaths of untold hundreds of American service personnel. If ‘GW’ slapped your stupid a** in irons and shipped you off to “GiTMO”… far more then half of this country’s people would cheer. You’re such a left-wing cheep ‘political w*ore’ of a Senator.

They’ve all been dishing out plenty of venom for years now… I think it’s high time to throw a lot of it back.

‘Greg - USA’ is of the opinion (as expressed to me in comments at Mr. Dollard’s posting of the Nov. 1979 cover of TIME) that our aristocratic rulers in Washington pay scant attention to correspondence from the ranks of us ‘plebes’. But I think, at least, someone working for these ‘public servants’ keeps a tally of the total numbers of ‘for’ and ‘against’… for the ‘pleasure’ of their opinion-conscious bosses. Anything that might jar such morons, like Sen. Harry Reid, out of their ‘bubbles’ of self-adulation and worship is worth a shot.

I don’t think I could ever express how the ‘whole story’ at this posting effects how I feel; I’m just not that strong. Thank God this Nation has people serving us all who are… and so much more.

He put out an olive branch to those elected hippies and now can take the high ground and beat them with their on hypocrisy.

He needs to use the bully pulpit and stay on the offense for the remainder of his term.

I do hope you are right. I haven’t given up and keep sending emails and whatever else I can do. I do think the emails that could possibly get more attention on their end are the ones written as well as possible. If we start slamming them and bitching them out those will most likely be thrown out before they even finish the email. The one I posted here that was sent to Pelosi was not the first. I started off nice and increased my aggravation with each subsequent email.

Regarding: Our ’shared’ frustrations (a reply for Greg - USA)

I have, in the past, resisted the temptation to ’stoop’ to the level of the average leftist rabble-rouser when ‘writing’ to various politicians. But after enduring ‘years’ of hearing, mostly Democrat, politicians and their propagandists refer to the President and V.P. (as well as the Military) in the most derogatory of terms. As well as the occasional acts of violent ‘civil disobedience’ perpetrated against some Republican and/or Conservative intellectuals and politicians… I’ve grown tired of continuing to take the ‘high road’ in such matters.

As far as ‘Mr. Harry Reid’ is concerned - it seems to me that his primary purpose for serving in the U.S. Senate is, and always has been, to use his accrued ‘influence’ in government to make himself a very rich man. I suppose it could be said (cynically) that ‘most’ politicians actually do this. But ‘one’ could choose to be a Patriot while also choosing to abuse the power of their office.

JAY LENO….”HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD”

Be Grateful

Actually, only the last paragraph was from Jay Leno, but Craig R. Smith,
the true author definitely hits that nail on the head!!!
“The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source,right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the president. In essence 2/3s of the citizenry just ain’t happy and want a change.
So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ”What we are so unhappy about?”

Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day,7 days a week? Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter? Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job? Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?
Maybe it is the ability to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without hds of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough. Or could it be that not having to present identification papers as we move through each state? Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter? I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough. when we wreck our car,emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.

Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family and your belongings.
Or if,while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes , an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss,This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own cell phones and computers.

How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world? Maybe that is what has 67 percent of you folks unhappy.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don’t have , and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession?
Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks?

The commander in chief of an all-volunteer armed services thats out there defending you and me?

Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk shows?
Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn’t take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad?
Think about ……are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the “Media” told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful ass every day.
Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom.
There is currently no draft in this country. They didn’t have to go.
They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ”general’ discharge, an ”other than honorable” discharge or, worst case scenario,a ‘dishonorable” discharge after a few days in the brig.
So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans? Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash
with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner?
The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations.
They offer what sells , and when criticized, try to defend their actions by
“justifying” them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn’t kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way……Insane!
Stop buying the negativism you are fed everyday by the media. Shut off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad.

We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.”

“With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and
with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, “Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?”
