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!!
Senator John Effin Kerry demonstrated last night why he should never be granted admittance to the White House, even as a guest, let alone as President.
First and foremost--there has to be a "global test" to protect America. Get that! If this country had information in its possession that a reasonable person (and remember that's the test that was used and its threshold exceeded for Saddam) could interpret as being a threat, this Nation would forego even the defense of its citizens with John Kerry as President!
Think about this, let it sink in. Now let's make it personal for a moment. You would not be allowed, for example, to take a different way home even if you knew on your normal route there was an individual with a weapon ready to kill you! In John Kerry's world, you would take that route--AND YOU WOULD SURELY DIE! But that's all right--you did not do anything to protect yourself, so you died nobly.
John Kerry had the unmitigated temerity to say the President didn't do every thing he could to protect our soldiers in Iraq, even accusing Mr. Bush of withholding the body armor that would make our soldiers safer under enemy small arms fire. This despite the fact that SENATOR KERRY VOTED AGAINST THE $87 BILLION PACKAGE THAT WOULD HAVE PROVIDED SUCH MATERIEL.
Senator John Effin tried to duck the word "lie" with regard to President Bush, saying he would never reach down to that level and use that term in reference to the President. An interesting show of deference that is most unusual for the Senator. In a September 2003 campaign appearance, Mr. Kerry said: This Administration has lied to us. They have misled us. And they have broken their promises to us. In the Boston Globe, Sen. Kerry was quoted as saying: Bush has lied about his reason for going to war in Iraq... [Source: Patrick Healy, "Kerry Camp Leaves N.H. Expectations Behind in Polls, Senator Now Seeks Spot in Top Two," The Boston Glove, December 18, 2003. Emphasis in original.]
And then there was the quip about the NY Subway being shut down. KERRY: That's why they had to close down the subway in New York when the Republican Convention was there. (Making a point that Bush has been inadequate in protecting America.) FACT: THE NYC SUBWAY DID NOT CLOSE AT ALL DURING THE CONVENTION!
The Senator also is geography, religiously, and ethnically challenged. He made a reference to looking at KGB records in Treblinka Square. TREBLINKA WAS ONE OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS NAZI DEATH CAMPS!
Now some of the minor details--Sen. Kerry stated the Bush tax cut only went to the President and himself! Being fair and realizing that he was using the two of them as a metaphor for the rich, he's still wrong. The tax cut was across the board.
Kerry says we spent $200 billion on the war on Iraq. We've only spent $120 billion. Sen. Kerry only arrived at the higher number by including what has been appropriated by Congress to spend in the future if needs require!
Senator Kerry even seemed to know where Bin Laden was! He indicated he was in Tora Bora and US forces could have nailed him. Problem is, there was no evidence he was there [maybe the Senator would have known this had he bothered to make time to attend intel briefings!].
He still thinks he knows where The Evil One is, making reference several times to his being in Afghanistan--if he knows where Osama is, why doesn't he tell US military forces?
Senator Kerry talks as if bilateral negotiations would work in North Korea. Senator, they were tried. That's how they got the Bomb!
The Senator continued to vacilate on the issue of Iraq--during the 90 minutes he was saying it was the "wrong war," then the right war, then the wrong war, then the right war, then the wrong war, before finishing up with it being the right war (it's difficult counting the flips and flops). On Iraq at the beginning: And he rushed the war in Iraq without a plan to win the peace. Now, that is not the judgment that a president of the United States ought to make. On Iraq at the end: I'm not talking about leaving. I'm talking about winning.
But that statement is another lie. He wants out of Iraq in four years, and starting to pull away in six months. He said so earlier in the debate.
And that's just what can be crammed into an hour's typing this morning. There are certainly others!
Now the end was notable. President Bush respectfully solicit the listeners for their vote, just as he did in the 2000 election. Senator Kerry ended without even bothering to ask. Small point, but it shows a lack of humility on the behalf of the Senator that smakcs of arrogance.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
I just happened to be within earshot of the TV today when it erupted. FNC was on it in seconds. In fact I think they may have had access to an Affiliate's camera on the scene.
I watched about 15 minutes. It was fascinating. I still have the Time Magazine from when it blew before. It is in my pile of 'Recent American History' which I maintain for my Grandchildren to use for school reports.
Bev, I tried to respond to you last night, but with my dialup service FR was so very very slow, I couldn't get back to you with a comment I'd composed about Mt.P.
Now I've forgotten what it was I said.
Hi All. Late I know, but we've had company all day. We did have a Debate Party last night and would you believe, we all caught most of the lies. Even our friend who is not one bit interested in politics. Shock, Shock. She has gotten it.
I won't be here for about 2 weeks. We'll be in Harper's Ferry and the DC area. We're leaving at 0600 to Memphis then on to Harper's Ferry. I'll do most of the driving. hehe
Y'all take care and behave while I'm gone.
Drive carefully,, and bring your sweatshirt!
Thanks .. good article. I emailed the emabssy
Just a quick stop by me. My mom called this evening, my grandmother has taken a turn for the worse. She's almost 100 years old (!). She's been in a nursing home for the past couple of months, and slipped into a coma today. I think my grandfather finally came for her. :)
Prayers for you and your family.
Bummer.. but 100 years is a LONG life.. she & grandpa will have a grand reunion wont they?

Do we have a ping list for those of us who HATE THE WEEKEND FOX AND FRIENDS CREW?
To kick off the weekend, get a load of this from the Wash Post:
"NAMES & FACES Friday, October 1, 2004; Page C03
Jack and Juliet, Sittin' in a Tree?
Fox News babe Juliet Huddy's buddy-buddy relationship with failed Illinois Senate candidate/alleged sex-club-goer Jack Ryan has tongues wagging at Fox News's headquarters in New York.
The duo were spotted holding hands and "gazing adoringly" at each other in the lobby of the cable network last Friday, our spies tell us. "They weren't exactly trying to hide anything -- it was pretty obvious they were together," one eagle-eye tattled. It's no secret that the perky "Fox & Friends" weekend anchor is a big fan of Ryan. "I have enormous respect for the man," she wrote in June on her "Fox & Friends" blog.
Add to that the fact that Huddy, 35, is recently separated (note from ACR: Didn't she recently get back from her honeymoon?) and Ryan has been divorced since 1999, and the peeps at FNC just can't help but put two and two together.
Ah, not so, says Huddy. "Unequivocally not true," she told us. "He's a friend of mine. He has a girlfriend. . . . That rumor has been going around for a while, by the way."
Ryan called us yesterday to clarify: "Not true. I know I've never held her hand in my life, though I wouldn't be against it. We're just friends."
Huh. So our spies didn't see you two holding hands? Says Huddy: "This person must be hallucinating. Seriously, that blows my mind! It's almost funny. If I were dating somebody and trying to hide it, I wouldn't do it in front of the Fox lobby."
Fair point, Juliet, but who said anything about hiding?
Insomnia for me tonight, actually this morning. I've been reading the threads. Lots and lots of panic. And a lot of new people posting, very negatively. Lots of handwringing that because President Bush didn't decisively win the debate, he's lost the election.
How you doing?
We never post at the same time .....so this is a pleasure.
I wanted to bring this to the groups attention before I leave for work.
I have been busy with my mom and haven't been paying much attention to world events.....but someone on the terror ping list brought this to my attention.
Top Al Qaeda leaders days numbered?
Here is what is interesting....Zawahiri in this newest tape speaks of his and Bin Ladens death or capture(never did this before).....and in the middle of the tape Zawahiri speeds up speaking like he is being rushed.
Now it could be nothing......but there were those reports of his capture ....since denied......but who knows for sure..
Something to keep an eye on..
Hi Doggie. I'm glad your mom is doing well. I will keep her and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
