It’s snowing again in Mass. My coffee was black and HOT..breakfast pancakes afloat in syrup as I scrolled to the next post. NOW..the coffee is stone cold, and the pancakes are fit for the garbage after reading this post THREE times.
I’ll try for breakfast again, then make my own printout of this. Thank you.

We have brain-dead pinkos now we see the mass emergence of brain-dead conservatives - people who believe that the world could be straighten up by putting an American MPs on every crossroad of the world

I have a couple of news for you: (1) we do not have that many MPs, (2) loosing our own country for another 40 years to pelosies/reids/clintons/obamas is way-way-way more detrimental than 40 years of all out wars in the ME and other places.

Well done.

It seems likely that metaphors and analogies about the Bush Presidency will abound in the coming months and years. I identified another real life sacrificial metaphor a couple years ago in: http://drilldown.blogtownhall.com/2007/05/04/between_evil_and_innocence_a_tale_of_two_dogs3.thtml

(That one earned me a good deal of hate mail)

Unfortunately, Bush may be remembered more for his handling of the “financial crisis” than the threat of terrorism. With respect to the financial crisis, I can’t help but find a movie metaphor in the scene from Rocky - where Rocky is knocked down late in the fight and Mick (not wanting to see Rocky injured any more seriously) is screaming from his corner “stay down Rock, stay down!.”

For those few who haven’t seen it - it’s just before Rocky struggles to his feet to land three thunderous body blows, breaking Apollo’s ribs and creating a chance for victory..

But in the real life “Bush Metaphor” - he really does stay down.

The words in this article have touched my heart and made me cry...we have watched the witches and ogres tear at this good man’s flesh for 7 years (right after 9/11 many of my liberal friends here in NYC were damned glad that algore was not at the helm). I’m just so upset that the liberal useful idiots are in control of the MSM and the universities...hopefully some good writers will step forward and pen some seriously unbiased history books for future generations to know the truth...I’m with Tony Blair on this one...9/11 woke us up and now we’ve rolled over and gone back to sleep. Let us also pray that Barack Obama is a good man who will also keep us safe. Benefit of the doubt. He should shut Reid and Pelosi up real fast if he wants a united country—they are dirtbags.

I’d feel better about this if Bush hadn’t gone socialist on us. Defending the country from outside threats is pointless if you allow it to be destroyed from the inside.

Leaders lead where they need to go, not where the people want to go. Look at Moses and how he was always fighting his people even after God showed them time and time again to the point they never made it to the Promise Land.

Leaders are not popular while they are leading. President George W Bush was a Leader.

Pray for W, America and Our Troops

We know how C. S. Lewis's allegory plays out: good triumphs in the end. Let's hope it does for George W. Bush as well, for the best of everyone, from America to the Middle East, from his defenders to the haters leaping up and down around that table.

I'll say Amen to that!

I just hope he gets to see it.
