I wish I could remember the name of the Freeper who came up with that, because it was totally brilliant.

Tomorrow's speech should be a barnburner. The left doesn't care that they endanger our security. Harry Reid actually bragged about killing the Patriot Act. He may as well brag about killing Americans.

And the president made clear in his speech this morning that he's briefed congress (small c on purpose) at least a dozen times about NSA and spying. So their pretend indignation that this is the first they've heard about it is all the more disgusting.

Love your editorial comments to go along with the pictures, Wolfstar. You do a much better job than the MSM at writing captions.

Cornyn is on the Senate floor now speaking about the Patriot Act.

Grin...wait, now. STARWISE was #1 today. Toaster only goes to #1.

I especially appreciate the pictures as I have no television. Will be depending on FR for the President's speech tomorrow.

The President will be speaking at 9:00pm Eastern time, which is 6:00pm where I live on the West Coast. I do the Dose tomorrow also, so I'll try to get at least a few photos up on the Dose if any appear tomorrow night. Snugs does the Dose on Monday, and she will undoubtedly post most of the photos from the speech.

It is brilliant, and that FReeper deserves a commendation.

That's exactly what the Dems and Left want to see happen. I make no bones about calling them on their anti-Ammericanism and having made common cause with the Islamofacists.

I don't know if the speech will be a barnburner, though. I expect it to be more of a way for the President to update the general public on progress in Iraq.

Thanks. Grin...mine are better because they come from the heart. We won't discuss where the MSM's come from because this is a family thread. ;-)

Good afternoon, Carolinamom. I hope people won't be disappointed tomorrow night, because my instincts tell me the President is just going to update the general public on progress in Iraq. But who knows...he seemed angry enough today to maybe change tomorrow's speech and include some of what was in today's radio address.

In the case of Leftist everywhere -- and that includes on Capitol Hill and in the MSM -- they haven't forgotten. They just don't care. They want this nation to be defeated.

Psalm 123

 1 I lift up my eyes to you,
       to you whose throne is in heaven.

 2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
       as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress,
       so our eyes look to the LORD our God,
       till he shows us his mercy.

 3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us,
       for we have endured much contempt.

 4 We have endured much ridicule from the proud,
       much contempt from the arrogant.
