Thanks for the article, Mia T:-) I don't consider them liberals anymore. I consider them as part of our enemies.

[Brian Allen]

I thank G-d for you, Mia T!

For your genius.

For your talent.

And that you are on my side.

And on the side of my America!

Blessings -- Brian

BTTT!

[Redbob]

"Podhoretz even claims that Bush is "the best presidential speaker" since Franklin Roosevelt."

And immediately loses all credibility.
Much as I like Dubya, I'll freely admit he's not in the same class, rhetoric-wise, as Ronald Reagan.

Not that there's much to be ashamed of there; very very few are.

[MeekOneGOP]

bttt for later.
Thanks, Mud !

[The Raven]

>>Ordered Attorney-General Ashcroft to formally notify the Supreme Court that ... the 2nd Amendment .. supports INDIVIDUAL rights to own firearms, NOT a leftist-imagined *collective* right

I forgot about that one....

[Mudboy Slim]

De nada...a new Mia T creation is always worthy of a heads up...MUD

I don't consider them liberals anymore. I consider them as part of our enemies.

Enemies????

Having different ideas about what will help make and keep this country great does not make one an "enemy." The enemy is the people who flew airplanes into the WTC and Pentagon. Enemies are people who do what they can to see this great nation crumble and fail.

You may not like Democrats and their ideas about politics and government. That does not make them evil or the enemies of America. Calling them such will do nothing to further political debate in this country. It stifles it. It encourages people to just make broad statements and generalizations about people different from them, and that does nothing for this country.

Liberals and democrats have the same overall goals as we do. They want America to prosper and be strong. We just disagree and how that will happen and what must be done for it to happen. They are not our enemies, they are are brethren. They are our brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers. Again, they are NOT our enemies.

[BobS]

You are deluded. Facts show democrats don't care about our national security. They are not to be trusted with power.

[NoLongerLurking]

No. Democrats care about national security. From what I have experienced the average Democrat cares about national security just as much as the average Republican. They just have different ideas on how it is achieved. Just like with every other political issue. Different ideas does not make one wrong in any argument.

[BobS]

Excuse me then. VOTING democrats do not care about this country staying alive.

Much as I like Dubya, I'll freely admit he's not in the same class, rhetoric-wise, as Ronald Reagan... Not that there's much to be ashamed of there; very very few are.

Can't argue with a thing you've stated here, Redbob.
President Bush does very well, like RR, when he's spontaneous, miscues and all. Real America doesn't mind Dubya mispronouncing words or committing other 'grammar crimes', heck we all do it all the time.
That's what makes him honest in the eyes of the so many. He isn't spit-shined & buffed like the run-of-the-mill politician.
And most importantly, Dubya, like RR, is humble before the Creator. If either ever lied, they knew it wouldn't go unnoticed.
And I think this intrinsic honesty shows thru to many people.

Presidents Reagan & Geo. W. Bush leave no doubt as to their devotion to God.
Liberals, true liberals, never have, and never will, understand this.
But they will always scorn & ridicule it.

[Defender2]

I've watched the demoCommiecRATS in action for years!!!! They consistently side with our enemies!!!! I consider the demoCommiecRATS as part of our enemies!!!! If you do not like that, tough cookies!!!!

[Kaslin]

Started withdrawing our troops from Bosnia

Which Billy Jeff had promised to be out by Christmas 1994

[Tempest]

Hey! What on earth are you doing posting something positive about President Bush on this website?!

I want something more whiny! Something about how you plan on staying home and admiting defeat to the Democrats because you're a true conservative!

Pfft!!! RINO!



< /sarcasm>

[jla]

VOTING democrats liberals do not care about this country staying alive.

I think you two just have a nomenclature snag here.

Bob, you seem to mistakenly group all Dems together, where NLL is pointing out the line of demarcatrion between a respectable Dem, (Zell MIller), and a liberal, (Teddy Kennedy).
