We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Members of the other party still don't get it.
As Republicans, we are reviled by that other American party for having the temerity to insist that America stand tall among the great nations of the world.
As Republicans, we are reviled by that other American party for having the temerity to insist that America have the right to defend herself.
As Republicans, we are reviled by that other American party for having the temerity to insist that no other country in the world be able to dictate how this Nation will protect itself.
And that's just for starters.
The other party would have it so that criminals are understood rather than punished. The other party would have it so that success financially is punished rather than rewarded. The other party wants to prohibit Americans from using our own country's natural resources to maintain and maybe improve our standard of living. The other party would rather see terrorists set free from Guantanamo than our soldiers be successful in wiping the scourge from the planet.
That is the Great American Left! That is the crowd that believes the United Nations is better than the United States.
In the campaign just concluded we heard that President Bush failed in the Iraq War because he didn't have a plan for the peace. First, it must be said that the author of this piece was, in retrospect, a bit slow in fashioning the correct response, but as they say "better late than never." The only reason the charge was made was because there wasn't peace, but if the war concludes, then we won't need a plan for the peace because, guess what folks, we will have peace!
In that same campaign, it was offered that average Americans pay too little tax, and rich Americans not enough. This is the view of the Great American Left. Truth is, Washington spends too much.
Now, the Great American Left would offer that we simply didn't understand their message. If we were to learn the nuances of what they offer, we would all genuflect in their direction, realize their majesty, and offer them the scepter of power from now until eternity. Or, at least this is the view of Nancy Pelosi--House MINORITY Leader.
Well, Nancy, here's something for you to ponder. We have heard your message. We Americans have learned the Great American Left wants to take our money and to leave us more poor, more weak, and more dead.
The Great American Left would rather pay out grants for studies to determine the root causes of crime than to provide guns, bullets, and body armor to our brave kids fighting to save Iraq and the world from terrorists.
The Great American Left would rather see that the Geneva Conventions apply to Al Qa'eda members even though these people are not military members and have no reservations about completely ignoring the rules of war on their part.
The Great American left sees a comity of nations that cowtow to the great United Nations. The United Nations, however, is completely unaccountable to the people of the world. Has anyone on the planet actually stood in an election for a representative to the UN? No. They are appointed by governments of countries--the sovereign voice of the various people. But the Great American Left, in their blind hatred of the regime ancien in this country, desire their leadership.
The Great American left would have us believe that the collective security offered by the United Nations would protect us, even though most of the Nation's in the UN either simply don't care about us, or are our sworn enemies (Cuba comes to mind).
The Great American left operates on the notion that the only way to deal with countries and groups that threaten us is to appease them--sort of like giving the class bully your lunch money in the hopes that he won't pound you, today.
That's the Great American Left.
And that's why they are not right.
Under leadership offered by President Bush, American has, thankfully, not been attacked since September 11, 2001.
Many of Al Qa'eda's elements are in less than perfect working order. Some parts aren't even working at all (for you folks on the left--that means DEAD!).
Terrorists in Iraq are on the run. It is not a good thing to be a terrorist and be sent to that country right now.
Lybia has agreed to give up its WMD program, and just this morning it has been anounced in the papers that Iran now has agreed to freeze its nuclear program.
The American economy is expanding and adding new jobs at a healthy clip.
But in the end, maybe we'll acknowledge one argument of the Great American Left--ok, maybe George W. Bush wasn't elected in 2000. That would mean that he can stand for and win re-election in 2008.
Nancy Pelosi--America has heard the message of the Great American Left. America understands that message, very clearly.
That is why George W. Bush is President, and Senator Tom Daschle is going home.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause the Chairman.`
LET'S ROLL!!!
Good morning.
Fallujah is ours!
Good Morning. Great Opening today.
Oven update: hubby cut off the power to the new oven on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, pulled it out from the cabinet. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. He check all wiring and connections and THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. He did a good job of installation, as usual, but just had to second guess himself, as usual. The oven is re-installed and is (continuing) to run fine. BTW, Lepton, it is copper to copper wiring.
About the AU vs. UGA game: I've heard it said that we "manhandled" GA and that we beat them "easily." No, I don't think so. Georgia, as are most SEC teams (Vandy being the exception) are really tough teams. On any Saturday any one of them could beat any of the other. It was not considered a done deal until about 4 minutes left in the game. One game which gives credence to that is seared ~ yes, seared in my brain. The underdog team was done 16 to 0 at the beginning of the 4th quarter. But by the end of the game and thanks to two identical blocked punts, the score was 17 - 16! Auburn did not "walk all over" Georgia. They were a tough and challenging opponent.
God bless our troops.
Just got back from my mom's. While there I found out a girl that was my neighbor many years ago had married a Muslim. They had 2 or 3 children. Her life was so miserable, she purposely drove her car into an on coming truck to kill herself and the children.
She was the only one killed.This happened several years ago,but I just found it out. Please pray for her children, who would be teenagers by now.
My mom's little sleepy KS town has a lot of Muslims living there.
Good morning.
It was chilly in KS this weekend.
The trees had changed and were so pretty.
I agree that the SEC is the toughest conference in the country, but I will say that Auburn is clearly the best team in that conference, this year. Last year, it was LSU. Give the War Eagles their due. ;^)
I prefer "PINKO, COMMIE STOOGE!!!!!" followed by a few slaps that would make my alter ego, General Patton proud. ;^)
ALL RIGHT!!
Good morning and thank you Chairman, everyone!!

That is a sad story about your friend for back home Kassie. I recall at Kent State we had a large group of international students from the mideast. the Men were quite the charmers & I recall the girls in the dorm talking about how desirable they were for dates. These men were in demand & told stories of (and I am sure MOST were stories) of being from wealthy oil families to secure bed & breakfast, if you get the gist.
I found most undesirable & besides had a SO at the time.
I wish I could ping Nancy Pelosi to this thread.
And little Tommy Daschle is saddened, deeply saddened.

I'm glad you got to see the leaves in KS. Our have all but dropped, with the exception of the Pin Oaks, which don't drop their leaves until spring.
I spent some time on Thurs & Fri with friends from KS at a meeting in the Quad Cities. Great People.
Good morning! Super opening to get us started on a new week. And listening to the reports on the torture chambers found in Fallujah, the Caucasian woman found dismembered and disemboweled, I wonder what the Great American Left has to say about that.

He's in a wheel chair.
Quite some time ago I asked on a thread,, this one or the Guild,, about him. I could tell by the way he was holding his head that he has some limitations.
I recognized it because I hold my head that way when I am in pain.
someone did a search and verified my suspicions.
We finally had the time to finish "Band of Brother" this weekend.
I couldn't help but think as I watched the last of that series of all the lives that might have been saved if Hitler had been confronted in the '30s.
Then, just before going to sleep, I was going thru some old articles I'd set aside to "read later."
One compared Bush to Churchill....but not the familiar war leader we know so well, but Churchill in the '30s when he was the single voice proclaiming the dangers of an increasingly powerful Hitler and Germany.
And today we have Bush, often alone it seems like, warning of the dangers of the growing terrorist threat.
The comparison held I think, BUT, and as the essay pointed out with this major difference: Churchill was out of power in the 30s...on the sidelines, and quite thwarted and frustrated at what he was seeing.
President Bush is in power...too often vilified and hated, he DOES have the full support of US, a majority of the American people.
Anyway, it was interesting to me to finish "Band of Brothers", thinking about the human cost of those years, and then read the Churchill/Bush essay.
There was an excellent BBC series in the late '80s about Churchill at this time, BTW. We taped it, and I still have it. Excellent, excellent, excellent Masterpiece Theatre!!
Very cool tropical breezes here in central Florida!
Young son is coming home for Christmas so I have lots of baking, cleaning, shopping to do!
