In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
As we all know the 40th President of the United States slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God Saturday June 5th. So feel free to post your pics, stories, etc. about the Gipper.
Today's word is one of many that could be chosen in his honor.
.
intrepid \ (n-trpd) \ adjective
intrepidity or intrepidness \ nouns
intrepidly \ adverb.
Deinition: Resolutely courageous; fearless.
Etymology [Latin intrepidus : in-, not; trepidus, alarmed.]
My example: President Reagan in all of his intrepidness said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" A few short years later the Berlin Wall was torn down. This memorable line would have never been uttered if President Reagan had listened to his advisors. His uncommon courage caused great things to happen. This courage was a natural extension of his faith in the American people and the Almighty. And to me that is the Reagan legacy.
Yepparoonies.
do not disillusion the Tiger of his childhood hero! ; )
Eschewed the Use of the Governors mansion, Drove his own Dodge to work, and tried to Move to the Right of Reagans legacy, for Budgeting,and Crime....
A real man of the People....
He sure wasn't a hero to CA conservatives. And I come from a conservative county in CA (Orange County).
We've all done stupid things we've later regretted. At least you saw the error of your ways.
xshub could write you a dissertation on the advantages of being a liberal cum conservative, bc of the ability to understand that mindset from having HAD IT. he can tell you what liberals think and how they approach issues and that is so much more valuable when combatting them. As is always said, Republicans bring a rule book to a knife fight.
I miss our intrepid leader. Please tell me this last ten years was just a nightmare.:(
I've always considered you correct on most things, but on this issue when he was Governor, I couldn't stand him.
Asexual probably.
I will shut up about him now.
no slippy, you go right ahead. the Tiger is wrong on moonbeam. : )
never forget that the Tiger thinks OJ was innocent....
Maybe not, He was after all a Democrat, however, he was also a Dem, with an 84% approval rating at one point, and IIRC, as of 1976, the most Conservative president we had elected was.....Richard Nixon??????? (Price and Wage Controls, Est. the EPA...) (Nixon was also the only REAL republican elected to the WH since Hoover.)
However, I would respectfully suggest that anyone would look lesser when picking up the shoes left by his predecessor....Looking back on his record, however, compared to those that have come after him........is another story entirely.
Knows, jackass.
so you will be watching mr. Innocent on Greta's show tonight, i guess.
Pnly if he promises to expose the Real killers that the police in their Rush to Judgement, overlooked.
well he has searched diligently for them on every golf course in the US of A.
likely the same individuals raped Kobe's accuser and went on to Kill laci and connor.
i was bawling over all of the editorial cartoons earlier.
If nothing else, all three of those cases highlight the severe inadequacy of the Prosecutorial systems in this country in terms of talent and ability, underscoring further how powerful the State really is, when up against a lower level of competition.
I'm hoping I can stay awake late enough to watch Geta's show tonight.........just out of curiosity.
I don't know if he did it or not, but correctly predicted he would be found not guilty......and won the pool at the local watering hole. More than 150 people were in there that day awaiting the verdict to be announced....over the bar they had a tote board guilty/not guilty and everyone tossed a buck in the pot to cast their vote....there was only one vote in the not guilty column.........mine.
BTW - the money went to the Leukemia society
