After listening to his rant, I sent the following note to my Senators and Congressman suggesting that they call the bluff of Mr. Clinton and those others calling for higher taxes.

"In response to the complaints of Former President Clinton and others that they are taxed at an unfairly low rate, I suggest that legislation be introduced to provide that all taxpayers have the right to make an irrevocable election to be taxed at rates in effect prior to January 1, 2001 or rates in effect at the time of the election, whichever yields the higher tax. This legislation should be quite simple to structure and based on what they say, should have the support of a sufficient number of democrat members to insure immediate enactment."

Since we're all in the same boat, let us chose as the captain of our ship a brave good man who knows how to steer a vessel though troubled waters to the calm seas and clear skies of our more perfect union. We know our mission. Let us join as one and say in a loud, clear voice: Send John Kerry.

The above paragraph is not entirely correct. More than once, Clinton said to a particular issue, "John Kerry would say send me." He said it so many times, it sounded as if Clinton was referring to himself - SEND ME!

Well, Bubba, we tried to send you and you didn't want to go.

During the Vietnam War, many young men -- including the current president, the vice president and me-could have gone to Vietnam but didn't. John Kerry came from a privileged background and could have avoided it too. Instead he said, send me.

In 1992, Bill Clinton, a draft-dodging coward, ran against George Herbert Walker Bush, a decorated WW II fighter pilot.

In 1996, Bill Clinton, a draft-dodging coward, ran against Bob Dole, a wounded WW II war hero.

In 2004, George W. Bush, who served his country via the National Guard, and learned to fly fighter planes, is running against John Kerry, a decorated Viet Nam veteran.

In the two Clinton elections, the press studiously avoided any comparisons of the candidates' war records. In fact, these records were dismissed as "irrelevant." Suddenly, in this election, the fact that Kerry won some (dubious) Purple Hearts has suddenly made him the most qualified man to prosecute the war on terror. This despite his joining forces with Jane Fonda, et al, in his post-Viet Nam peacenik days, accusing virtually all of our troops of war crimes. This despite his renunciation and tossing away of his medals or ribbons or whatever the hated United States Government awarded him. The spin is making me dizzy.

This speech is not verbatim is it?? I heard Clinton this morning on FoxNews replay, and he specifically said "American was divided and should be divided", which really is sad. He almost sounded like he wanted a civil war to fight.

My Bible says "a house (country, etc) divided against itself cannot stand."

Everyone had to sacrifice except the wealthiest Americans, who wanted to do their part but were asked only to expend the energy necessary to open the envelopes containing our tax cuts.

Good job for Bill: collect the tax refunds from "the wealthiest Americans, who wanted to do their part" and send em to the government, instead of taking them at the point of a gun.

Their opponents will tell you to be afraid of John Kerry and John Edwards, because they won't stand up to the terrorists -- don't you believe it. Strength and wisdom are not conflicting values -- they go hand in hand.

If I want to learn about wisdom I'll listen to someone who might possibly have some. Pee Wee Herman, perhaps . . .
