This part is so true:
" The people who dislike George W. Bush have convinced themselves that opposition to his presidency is the most compelling moral issue of the day. Well, it's not. The most compelling moral issue of the day is exactly what he says it is, when he's not saying it's gay marriage. The reason he will be difficult to unseat in November—no matter what his approval ratings are in the summer—is that his opponents operate out of the moral certainty that he is the bad guy and needs to be replaced, while he operates out of the moral certainty that terrorists are the bad guys and need to be defeated. "
This guy gets it. He seems scared that he gets it, but he gets it like few avowed liberals do.
Joe Wilson says "be very afraid." Thanks Joe, I am. Because idiots like you influence the policy of this nation without a thought to the very weight of the matters with which you meddle.
The man is eloquent. He deserves a wider audience if he has penetrating thoughts on a regular basis. ;^)
Deep down, in that lengthy rumination, he has a kernel of an idea - that terrorism might actually be dangerous and we might have to keep killing people to stop it.
There’s a teeny-tiny lightbulb flickering and struggling to stay lit over that egg-head.
Yup, he gets it ... and despite his misinformed views on Iraq, he almost gets that too.... I think of "Cold Harbor" and the day 7000 union men died in 30 minutes of a useless charge. US Grant had a choice. Every other Union general before defeated in battle retreated back across the river. Some, like McClellan, were so afraid of losing they never risked enough to win a battle. Others were simply outmatched by Lee's tactics. Grant, though, was made of different stuff. He knew he couldnt win without suffering losses or taking the fight to the enemy. Grant, in the face of that defeat at Cold Harbor, ordered his men to march - SOUTH. The energy in the battle lines when the order came down was electric; they would stay on offense! And at that moment, Robt E Lee knew he was facing the man who could lick him.
G W BUSH IS THE US GRANT OF OUR TIME. MISTAKES OR BRILLIANT STRATEGY, HE CAN WIN THIS FIGHT. HE WILL DEFEAT TERRORISM. THE DEMOCRATS CANNOT.
Hence my tagline: George W Bush - Right for our Times!

that's a keeper!
