Here is my example with WFTD.
I posit that this week's convention was a huge success.
I received in email today, the following, from my coworker, the New York Jew, former liberal, voting for his first republican candidate:
Closing Prayer of Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis at GOP National Convention
Wednesday, September 1, 2004 By: Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are living at a most challenging time in our history - one that our founding fathers could never have envisioned. Global terror and the breakdown of moral values menace our very lives.
Such threats are not foreign to me. I am a child of the Holocaust, a survivor of Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp. I have experienced the degradation and the brutality of which he is capable, but I have also experienced the healing balm of faith, the magic of compassion and love which is the bedrock upon which our great Republic was built.
Following a Holocaust memorial address to our armed forces at Ft. Hood, Texas, an eight year old little girl, the daughter of one of the officers, asked: "Rebbetzin, Ma‚am, why didn‚t you call the army or the police to help you?"
What an American question!
How could I explain to her that in those days of darkness a uniform was the symbol of torture and murder - that it was only when I encountered American soldiers and police that I discovered that these men in uniform could be trusted , that they are guardians of peace, committed to the protection of the innocent.
How different the world might have been if a man like President George W. Bush had been at the helm in those days of darkness.
Following 9/11 it was President Bush‚s valor and commitment to do battle against the forces of terror and evil that has ensured the safety and security of our nation. Of all the world‚s leaders, it was only President Bush who had the courage to raise his voice on behalf of beleaguered Israel and recognize that terror in any part of the world must be eradicated. And just this morning, we were witness to yet another horrific act of terrorism with a bus bombing in Israel. Let us pause for a moment of silence and pray for them.
More than HOPE, our president is determined to triumph over evil, and continues to labor, not only for a secure safe world, but for an America in which timeless values prevail.
The miracle that is America is not only to be found in her might, but in her faith in G-d, and it was with this faith that President Bush comforted our nation with the words of the psalmist on that day of infamy.
"Gam kee elech b‚gei tzalmovet"..."Even though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I shall fear no evil, for You are with me..."
"Kaveh el HaShem" ..."Trust in the L-rd..."
We place our trust in You, Oh G-d, We pray to You to heal those who are sick with hatred; to sensitize the hearts of those who are indifferent to the cries of their brethren.
Teach us, Oh G-d, to live by Your word in truth, compassion and peace.
G-d bless America, G-d bless our President and may G-d bless each and every one of you.

America has done this kind of work before and there have always been doubters.
In 1946, 18 months after the fall of Berlin to allied forces, a journalist wrote in the New York Times, "Germany is a land in an acute stage of economic, political and moral crisis. [European] capitals are frightened. In every [military] headquarters, one meets alarmed officials doing their utmost to deal with the consequences of the occupation policy that they admit has failed." End quote. Maybe that same person's still around, writing editorials.
Somewhere, tonight, Howell Raines is flying into a rage. Careful, Mr. President. If you attack the New York Times, they may become less objective, fair and balanced in their coverage of you.
While I completely support GWB in his stance regarding national defense, and I will be casting a vote for him. I realized my error of positing conservatism in his domestic plan. For the life of me I can not understand why the Democrats hate him so much, he posits their domestic agenda!
Mornin' all!
This has been a "relgion of peace(TM)" alert
Here's a theory that I wish to posit
You can take to the bank and deposit
In two months we'll be merry
When Bush crushes Kerry
Sure as McGreevey is out of the closet
The Republican Convenion in New York posited(placed firmly in position) President George W. Bush in the White House for FOUR MORE YEARS.
I had posited that there would be support for Alan Keyes and had a convention watch party last night to organize, no one showed up. Now I am faced with trying to determine if supporting Keyes is worth it. I see many are now running from his outspokeness, scared to death of theis 'crazy man'.
After some thought, I have determined that right is right and I will continue to support a man who lays it on the line. My thoughts take me back to a time with another man spoke the truth and others just could not take the truth.
Calling Cheney's daughter a hedonist and calling abortion murder is also the truth. Are you ready for the truth, hold on to your hats, the media is not going to like what they will hear in the next 8 weeks.
If Keyes only gets my vote, I can stand up and be proud of that.
That is a lovely prayer.
Good afternoon-It's Friday, and I'm off early!
The 'rats are getting more desperate
In their frantic efforts to show
Some chicanery on Dubya's part,
No matter how long ago
As their trial balloons get punctured
By truth and other such things
Now they posit that Dubya's family
Got someone to pull some strings
To get him into the National Guard
Though Ben has said he did not-
For him to try and change that now
Things must be getting hot
They keep digging in futility
For some useful, scandalous text-
No doubt they'll be digging under
The Smithsonian Museum next
I thought it was those yellow papers with a sticky strip.
Have a happy weekend everyone!
I posit the following question to all: "How much longer will it be before we witness the complete meltdown of the Democratic party?"
