Mega-support ping for Congressman Billybob going to Washington and bringing his common sense with him!

"So why are Congressman Billybob and John Armor running as a team for Congress in the 11th District of North Carolina (maybe)? President Teddy Roosevelt answered that question better than anyone else. We agree with what he said. His address, "Citizenship in a Republic," included this well-known passage: "

* * * * *

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

  ~ Theodore Roosevelt ~

 

The Honorable Freeper Congressman Billybob, "cyberCongressman"  (a word created by his "able assistant, J. Armor, Esq.") from Western Carolina, has entered the arena.

Go Billybob bump!!

Thank you for putting up the whole Teddy Roosevelt quote. I like the entire speech, but there are space limitations in writing a column. Old TR was a danged fine writer, among his many other qualities.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

And so I commend to you, my fellow Americans, Congressman Billybob for the 11th District of North Carolina, a man who dares mighty things.
