It has just gone so over the top. I was doing some work (for free) tonight and they were quoting polls etc. I countered with Dr.Deb's excellent analysis of such nonsense, but they just kept talking. I was stunned, as these were "our" people.
The Bush Doctrine will be part of History.
You have made several profound statements tonight, this is one of them. Thank you. It is nice to end the day on an up feeling regarding our country and President. ;*)
Leadership has absolutely nothing to do with Popularity. The person who made the biggest impact on my life personally is considered by most everybody I know as a hard ass who nobody would want to work for. But that person taught me more than anybody else and he gave me the tools to become a man. That person is my Cousin Joe who was a Vietnam Veteran and a Marine who stepped on a land mine for his Country and was spat on by the the Left when he came home. I saw it with my own eyes. Joe was like a brother to me, he was raised in our home by his mother, (my Aunt)
If there is anything I have learned in life, and what has convinced me that Conservatism is my choice of philosophy, is that.... LEADERSHIP HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH POPULARITY
Cheers!
