Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!
New verse:
Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
|
|
Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, Well wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed! |

The scuttlebut is that Bush will ask for Rummy's resignation today. (This is rumor mongering only)
The terrorists won. Bin Ladin's long term strategy of blooding America because the past we have shown that we will cut and run paid off for him yesterday.
I live in the Middle East and it absolutely floors me how many people do not realize the very real danger they are in.

I'm writing alternative history, so right now Sherman is stuck in the mountain passes in Northern Georgia trying his darndest to get past Longstreet. Lee is in Pennsylvania and is winning. It's not going well for the Union at the present time.
All this because the 18th North Carolinia missed!

There's a lot more to it, I guess, but to the extent that the insurgents and terrorists effected a "regime change," it's bad news, since I notice that a lack of challenge to terror usually begets more terror.
But having the Left back in the driver's seat is discouraging enough, without the other ramifications we can dream up.

Yes...and my targeted audience is very savvy, so if I'm going to change history, I had better make sure it is plausible and reasonable and all those adjectives. If not, I am sunk!
Just introduce an evil twin and that way you can have them do whatever they want and the audience will have to guess who is doing what!

Yah.
Over the weekend I read Mark Steyn's "America Alone". He very plainly and forcefully shows what the stakes are, and what we're going to see before this age is over. It's a great and fast read, and his points are (as usual) inarguable.

Self inflicted cluelessness. What is the line from Lord of the Rings that Merry says to Frodo. Something like, "you won't save the Shire by being shocked and dismayed." Mark Steyn says that a nation that will not fight for itself has already lost. Sometimes I think that we have lost. Not only here in Israel but in the US as well.

The book is not available in Israel. I think Steyn is the best political commentator of our day. (I wait with eagerness for his next column). It's true, but if we ignore the terrorists, they will just go away.
The one thing the Arabs understand and respect is strength. The one thing they will hold you in contempt for is weakness and surrender.

Perhaps it is time again for this:
Hold your ground! Hold your ground!
Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me!
A day may come when the courage of men fails. When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves, and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down!
But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear... on this good earth... I bid you stand! Men of the West!
To: James Ewell Brown Stuart

And that cultural difference is what the liberals for all their 'multicultural' BS still don't understand and probably never will.
To: Ramius
I wonder if the men of the West can even hear poor Aragorn as they run away to enjoy their Starbucks believing if they just don't rile up Sauron, he won't leave the Black Gates and march on Minas Tirath. How utterly naive and dangerous!

That scene in the movies still gives me chills.
Though it's the charge of the Rohirrim that *really* gets me.

Heck no! I have to listen to them day in and day out tear down with utter hatred and contempt Western society and civilization. They believe that this society is simply not worth defending because(insert litany of evils here). If you do not believe that your homes are worth defending, then how do you justify the war on terror. You can't and you don't and in the end, you allow yourself to be overtaken.

Here is a rallying speech that brings chills to my spine:
Virginians!
For your lands! For your homes!
For your sweethearts! For your wives!
For Virginia!
Forward!
General Lewis Armistead, July 3, 1863, Gettysburg.
