Post your short news items, issues of interest, links, and so on. All who advance the Cause are welcome.
LET'S ROLL!!!
So neat you could spend time with another FReeper.
The deal with ABC is so stupid. Toby Keith's song is a good song. Patriotic. I think that is the whole issue. It gets people fired up to stand behind America.
Glad you 2 could get together!
We should have a total ATRW reunion sometime. I nominate Cleveland as the location!:-)
AMERICAS WAR ON TERROR Day 277
The news as reported in The Washington Times:
[Note All links go to The Washington Times website.]
1. American Catholic Bishops yesterday decided against a policy that would have allowed priests to stay in service had they committed only one instance of sexual abuse.
[I dont know why this is so difficult for the Bishops. The Pope says it is a most egregious sin. If so, and a priest commits it outta here! Its that simple.]
2. Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., said his union will give more money to Republicans in this election cycle.
[Daschle, call your office. The party, your Party, is over!]
Hoffa finds reasons to support GOP
3. The Washington Times has been bringing us news and views for 20 years.
[At least one paper in Washington, DC, reports news.]
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS: The Washington Times
4. Retail sales dropped sharply last month; analysts had expected them to increase with the recovery.
[Interesting.]
Slipping economy not following script
5. The House voted to end the so-called marriage penalty in income taxation.
[And the Senate IML will not consider it, of course.]
House votes end to marriage penalty
6. The DC Department of Mental Health has failed to return $1 million to the relatives of deceased patients, and has mismanaged the accounts of hundreds of living patients.
[Another shining example of the benefits of liberal city management.]
D.C. agency keeps cash of deceased
7. The ACLU and NAA(L)CP have joined in criticism of the Washington, DC, police departments plan to use video cameras to watch over public spaces.
[First of all, the US Supreme Court has said there is no expectation of privacy in a public space. Second, as long as the cameras are not attached to a computer (so far they are not), what is the difference between a police officer watching in the public space, or a police officer watching a public space on a TV camera. Its not exactly a novel concept; many modern office buildings have surveillance cameras for their private security operations.]
ACLU, NAACP warn of police camera abuse
8. S. Vance Wilkins Jr. resigned his position as Speaker of the Virginia Assembly amid a sexual harassment allegation.
[Good. Far more honorable than a recent President. Thus the difference between the GOP and demonflops continues.]
Virginia House speaker resigns
We shall not rest until we have cut a swath 60-miles wide through the entire left - taking all that is before us with us as we go. We shall leave nothing to the enemy that may be of value to him. We shall show him that he may count on nothing and will be able to keep nothing, not his spirit, not his soul, not that upon which he shall feed. We shall not cease until the moment we have rent through their entire land and have arrived at the sea, with our glorious victory upon us.

Arlington, VA. (I just don't want to travel.)
When Fear attempts to take a shortcut Wesley Pruden
He was a good man Michelle Malkin. This one ties Sept. 11 to Father's Day. Very moving...
I'm tired of it. I AM proud to be an American and I'm tired of listening to those whiners from other countires who try to denigrate us. I have decided that they are really ashamed of their countries and feel that the only way to lift themselves up is by putting us down. If they had more pride in their countries perhaps they wouldn't feel so threathened by us.
As John says, "my two cents worth."
How are the swimming exerccises going?
Miss Marple - Good luck today, Jane. All will go well....
William made it home last night for his brief visit.
We're talking nitty gritty details, like how to avoid gypsies:-)
He looks much better than he did last August when you saw him, and he was so thin after India.
He still has his beard, but his hair is short, and he's filled out a little.
Oh, you're right; it might not be done in time. Silly me.:)
