...They have transcended the kamikaze pilots of World War II to become a kamikaze movement...

Not bad, Emmett. The salient point here is that the president not only had courage to pursue the war on terror, but that he had a good team around him to put together a plan that was bold and that understood the nature of the treat. We had to mobilize against an ethereal enemy. It is international in scope; has no borders. Very different from any threat seen in past aggression against the united states.

How many fools have 'bet the farm" trying to beat GWB? Funny thing always seem to happen, Bush says what he`s going to do, and, SAZZZZAM,it works.
Watch the immigration issue, all you Tancredo followers, same thing is going to happen.
If you are going to bet against GWB, its a good idea to have a rich uncle.

Remind them that Chelsea Clinton is almost old enough to run for president, and she has never been accused by an Independent Counsel of lying.

Really great article; thanks for posting it!

Excellent. Of course, he is right. Nothing can make the Democrats happy while a Republican is in the White House. But they are not winning the hearts of Americans with their whining.

"They have transcended the kamikaze pilots of World War II to become a kamikaze movement."


At least one difference between kamikaze pilots and terrorists is their choice of targets. I think today's terrorists are not so much a kamikaze movement, but more of a death cult.

A death cult made much more dangerous by overt and covert support from too many other enemies of Liberty, both foreign and domestic.

"During a quarter century of analyzing and forecasting the economy, I have never seen anything like this. No matter what happens, no matter what data are released, no matter which way markets move, a pall of pessimism hangs over the economy."

We have passed a tipping point. It is no longer "the economy stupid". The reason is not political or psychological. It is systemic and structural.

It's simple; there are now more people outside the private sphere than within. Rising tides can raise only those boats which happen to be IN THE WATER.

Federal, state, and municipal workers, teachers, union bosses, those who work for non-profits, those who work for private firms dependent upon government contracts, many seniors, and beneficiaries of income tax policy....are now in a position whereby they must view PROSPERITY through GDP growth..... as SOMETHING WHICH HAPPENS TO EVERYBODY BUT THEM.

We should no longer be mystified when so many fail to greet positive economic news with glee. ENVY is the operative emotion here. The days are gone when we can envision a bright future for the Republican party because of proper stewardship of the economy. The time has also passed when we can deem a Republican administration as a success which does not REDUCE the size of government.

We are sowing the seeds of our own destruction.

Why waste any time trying to cheer up a Democrap?? They richly deserve every single bit of their misery.

It delights me.
