I made up a poem for you Darks

Trolls and terrorists do beware!

there is something stirring in the air!

from the East comes a darkened cloud

with a voice booming out loud

Go away from here! quick as you can!

'cause if you think W's frightening, well think again!

Osamam and Saddam, Hillary and John

Darks has got you on the run!

Dem's and liberals have no chance when you see his Gothic dance!

With W in the helm and Rummy on the loose

Count Darkula's coming to cook your goose!

You praise the following and yet post your idea of the Demo convention. Very much in contradiction to one another.

To
"Almighty God;
We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection;
that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government;
and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large.
And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice,
to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific
temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our
blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things
we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication,
we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

*snicker*
Uh oh.
I'm not quite THAT impressive.
(Ignore those that say I've snuck up on them without trying. They're obviously biased in my favor.)

[Pippin]

Hee! Hee! Hee!

[Aquamarine]

The Mayor is perfectly able to speak for himself but I think you missed the point TL.

The sad fact is that the Dems convention will probably be even worse than his description. We on the right are willing to treat those on the left with brotherly love and affection. Whereas those on the left hate us and the the USA and are working overtime to destroy what we treasure here. They are beginning to fit into the "all enemies foreign and domestic" category.

Anyway, welcome to the Finest.

Good afternoon, Sistah Aqua - wanted to get here in time to say "Good MORNING!" It just didn't work out that way.

This is simply outstanding - from the beginning with your soft, pretty colors, to the pledge and on through the Welcome graphic. Be very proud of yourself!

Someday, before my time is up, I hope to visit DC, and see all these wondrous monuments myself. Until then, I'm thankful we have a 'historian' in our sistahood who has made these kinds of threads her 'thang' at the Finest!

I wish I could stay around this afternoon; am trying to finish John's essay for tomorrow, and have mega chores and errands to take care of. :(

[Aquamarine]

You're welcome. :)

Love those bear paws!

[Darksheare]

Just heard that a particularly nasty and vicious nemesis was banned last night.
I'd been checking on it once in awhile to see if he'd gotten spanked over some of his sludge.
But didn't think to check this morning.

Bushy-tailed hugs to wolfie and th' fox.

TweetAh-Roooo! :)

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, ((((((Dansy))))))!

[Aquamarine]

Thanks Billie. Glad I got to semi surprise you with this post today. :) Mama Bear is the real historian around here...I was just lucky to find the info to post.

Can't wait to see what you do with John's essay tomorrow, haven't read it but told him I like the title!

[Diver Dave]

Laus Deo indeed.

Afternoon Aqua. Beautiful presentation.

I seem to remember reading about Laus Deo but you've presented it in a more memorable way. Thanks.

I've seen the monument on two occasions. Once as a young pup of 6 and a few years ago when I chaparoned a group of high school foreign exchange kids on a tour of the East Coast. Had a greater impression on me as an adult. Would love to go back and do the sight-seeing again someday.

I remember walking all over the place trying to get the entire monument framed within my camera lense and happily, I was successful.

Thanks again for the tour.

Afternoon, Ms.Aqua. : )

A fine thread, pretty graphics and a wonderful history lesson. Thank you.

[ST.LOUIE1]

Hi, ((((((( dansy )))))))

[Aquamarine]

I remember walking all over the place trying to get the entire monument framed within my camera lense and happily, I was successful.

Made me think that I probably have a few pic's of the monument somewhere in my pile of pictures...need to go sort through them.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks (((LOUIE)))
