America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
President Bush visited Missouri, on the heels of Criminal Party wannabees, and lashed out at the efforts of those who would deny making many of his tax cuts permanent. The marriage penalty reduction, for example, is set to expire next year and would result in a tax increase to many folks. The President is correctly characterizing the effort, predominately being carried on by Criminal Party members in Washington, as a potential tax increase on America.
United States intelligence has ascertained there are several training facilities in Pakistan for terrorists. After training, the terrorists are routed through Europe and on to the United States where they are joining sleeper cells, merely waiting for orders and money to carry out attacks on America.
For many of the soldiers serving in Iraq, the search for WMDs is secondary--they say that capturing Saddam has made going to war justified.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
The problem is, as I see it, is that those who constanly harp on the WMD issue (usually by distorting what the President said, or reports have pointed out) don't want to face the realities of the situation (17 violated un resolutions be damned). The reason being is that they hate President Bush far more than they love this country...so much so in fact that they would prefer to see a terroist supporting, murderous dictator left in power, regardless of the dangers that would pose to America and the rest of the world.
People like this never let a little thing like the facts get in the way of their "preceptions".
Kerry is a target rich environment.
You lean on all of us.....that is what we are here for.....so chin up!
Thus began my belief in lasting things ... for she was there ... each seed I have sown since ... there she was... and through the years, my Dad joined her ... adding his wing-tipped advice. Just lately ... I've heard my brother whispering down his advice ... late at night when I couldn't sleep ... through memories ... through love ... through lasting lastingness .... sometimes so very hard to hear, but always there ... Like the hawk which flew over the field after Molly's Dad died ... and bevlar revving up the motor home again, Larry in her heart, if not literally in his seat.
And then you can lose someone without your loved one ever being gone ... through disease ... through disagreements. This may be the most painful of all ... for the possibilities .... the if-onlys haunt you and invade your heart. So ...
*Prayers* for us ALL that we remain focused and true to ourselves ... may we always look for wisdom ... while holding to the lasting things .... may we slow down and listen and speed up and support .... have peace to let go and be fierce to hold on and know the difference between the two...
'Tis true we are only human ... but each step we take ....each step ... makes history in someone's life. I've met people here who preach sermons without words .... and have changed my life ...
Jemian and JRandom ... you're hearin' the pretty music, yes?! 'Tis your Mom and Dad ... knowin' they did a good job ... and so did you .... lastingly good ...
I've the day off today! Yippity-skippity!
Well, that's why I fear a corrupt media far more than I do the corrupt politicians.
Have I ever mentioned that I HATE THE MEDIA?
They are despicable, detestable, deplorable, dastardly, and deceitful ... on their good days.
'Tis so glorious to have you back with your poetic profundity.
But, alas, you are here to play today and I have to get back to work ... *sigh*
I like your Hallmark-card-side .... also your pit-bull-side .... your nuke-'em-side ....
Wait! I am seeing a trend here .... I must like all your sides .... *grins*
Wait till you his top and bottom then.
That may be a side I don't need to see ... HAR! ....
Save that for the media, Dog ....
kayak ... I was playing Scrabble with my sister the other evening and I played k-a-y-a-k ... and cracked up. My sister remains concerned about my well-being.
But it sure is hard to pass it up ..... it's just sitting there waiting to be hit out of the park.
