Time/Temp.

Governments acting under the color of authority have killed more of their own people than all the world's wars combined. Constitutional, limited government and an informed and involved electorate are the only tools against tyranny. A government which can do anything for you can and will also do anything to you.

The miserable results of my first election which drove me to become
a Ronald Reagan Democrat and an Art Link Republican.

A useful tool I've found to help small and mid-sized businesses enjoy pricing and benefits usually only available to larger businesses. Yes, the mid-sized business which I work for uses it. So do I, personally.

The man honored in my tagline is Ahmad Shah Massoud, born 2 September 1953 and died 9 September 2001, as the first victim and martyr of the September 11 attacks.

Massoud was a good and decent man, a moderate follower of Islam, and a great friend to America. It was Massoud who risked his life multiple times to put Osama Bin Laden in our crosshairs awaiting only the order of someone in Washington to give the order to fire. The closest we got was when George Tenet authorized the hit but lost Bin Laden when Secretary of State Albright warned Pakistani Intelligence of the incoming missiles and elements within that agency promptly warned Bin Laden. Thus the man who could have prevented 9-11 became its first victim two days before.

America owes a lot to Massoud not only for what he tried to do, but for what he actually did. For it was Massoud's leadership which broke the back of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the first in a series of events which led to the collapse of the evil empire. Massoud lived his life for freedom and gave his life for freedom. He was a better American than most of us who were born here.

While the easy thing to do would have been to share power with the Taliban, Massoud remained loyal to America until his dying day for the support he received from the Reagan and Bush I administrations. He fought not to replace one form of dictatorship with another, but that so all Afghanistan could be free.

He was named "Hero of the Afghan Nation" by President Karzai, the first democratically-elected leader in the history of that nation. Karzai won 21 of 34 provinces in that election and truly speaks for moderate Muslims everywhere in honoring Ahmad Shah Massoud, one of the most loyal friends America ever had.
