New thoughts on yesterday's news and a good reminder of the kind of character that many people want to put into the White House.

Good read; bump!

Thanks for posting this. Would have missed it otherwise, at my loss. Good writing.

Hi, Please take a moment and either call the President or send an email to let him know we, the American people back him. Also, if you could just tell one person to do the same and ask them to tell another, than God willing, we will flood the switchboard with calls and faxes like they have never seem. This is one way we can take it direct to the President and it can not be misled by the media or stupid polls.....
Please call or email and God bless:

You've got to wonder, though, about a writer who would lump Anwar Sadat in with Ghandi, Ronald Reagan, and John Paul II.

What was he thinking? Political correctness?

Thanks for posting this. I've sent emails to both, encouraging them to stay the course. Blessings on our leaders.

My personal favorite is John Kerry to voter at town hall meeting:

IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

[Lily4Jesus]

excellent read! bump

[Wil H]

and he promised for this coming fall a rerun of the democrats’ litigation model which, although it failed in 2000, has not lost its luster for them.

...The strategy is straight out of (hillary's mentor) Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" which is a liberal bible/playbook

just watch how Kerry utilises it..

[Americathy]

I agree. If the Dums are even a little bit close, they will turn it into a fiasco.

[BluSky]

Connect the dots. Some do, others won't/can't.

It's all window-dressing with these (D) ilk. 'Pretend' you care. 'Act' concerned. All 'imagery' over substance. All disdain for the people.

It's, "Give me your vote! Now, go away peon!"

[GOP_1900AD]

Kerry appears to be a truly and deeply evil man.

[Americathy]

He certainly scares the hell out of me.

[maica]

I say the kind of person who holds all of us in contempt. Such an attitude rings a bell with me. I am reminded of Clinton’s misuse of Arkansas state troopers to procure sexual partners and to secure the tryst while it was going on. I am reminded of Hillary Rodham’s description of the secret service agents assigned to protect her in the White House as pigs, and of her foul-mouthed insistence that they come no closer to her than 10 yards away, according to Gary Aldrich in his book Unlimited Access. I am reminded of the Clintons’ persecution of Billy Dale, head of the White House travel office through several administrations.

I am reminded of much, much more, but these few incidents suffice to allow us to see a common thread running through the behavior of Kerry and the Clintons. All three of them have little or no regard for lowly public servants. Even if we didn’t have other indications to inform our opinion, it would be a safe assumption that the three of them also have little regard for us, the ordinary citizens.

I wonder if these observationw will be useful when we talk to 'undecided voters' between now and November.

Kerry’s lack of understanding for lesser beings

And if you think Kerry treats the little people poorly you should see Ter-ray-zuh in action. I have never seen anyone treat the 'help' in a more nasty way. She is worse than John.

[CedarDave]

You've got to wonder, though, about a writer who would lump Anwar Sadat in with Ghandi, Ronald Reagan, and John Paul II.

Now this is a scary coincidence. All those listed (plus Lincoln and Collins mentioned in the same sentence in the article) were shot or killed by a bullet. I hope by his mentioning these leaders he isn't subconsciously implying that the same will happen with President Bush.

[Americathy]

Have you observed her behavior in person?

[Travis McGee]

Kerry was raised with "servants," and probably learned young how to "handle" them.

This secret service agent is just another lowly "servant" to Kerry, like his dozens of butlers, maids, gardeners and chauffers on staff at all of his mansions.

[hopespringseternal]

When one achieves great things or status, there are two conclusions one can draw. One is to conclude that your own goodness, skill, talent, wonderfulness made it inevitable, that it is nothing less than you deserve.

But the person with character looks deep inside themselves and says, "I don't deserve this. Other, better men than me deserve this. Why should God bless me when there are others more deserving?"

One is the way of pride and shows a huge character problem. Success will kill that man's soul.

The latter is humility, and that man will not let riches, status, or fame rule him. He can be gracious to anyone because he knows that before God, all his wealth and status is meaningless, and he is no better than anyone else.

Good words, thanks
