Good article.

Democrats become Republicans when we grow up.

We realize God expects us to protect the blessings He has given us, and in doing so, to work to spread the blessings to others.

I have had it with the down tactics and tone of the Kerry/Edwards 04 campaign and it’s band of misfits. I refuse to refer to them in any other way except “Doom & Gloom 04”.

John Kerry – Putting America down since 1971 !!!!!!

LIE: Kerry/Edwards 04
TRUTH: Doom & Gloom 04

Who was it who said a conservative in NYC is a liberal who's been mugged?

Any comments by Peggy Noonan are worth posting more than once.

[Radix]

You can post all of the Peggy Noonan articles that you like as far as I am concerned.

I think she is a babe and brilliant, and it is the brilliance that I always find most attractive.

Was it Irving Kristol, Ken?

Great post.

And you know what the Dems are doing now is wanting Bush to "apologize" to divert attention from the fact Kerry needs to.

They are doing what they can to get away from the swiftvets.

Kerry has all but dropped his "Nam record" from his talks and is trying to avoid it.

John "Wag The Dog" Kerry. And he isn't even President.

(pings are for a good post by Kaslin)


By the way, Bush has NOTHING to apologize for. To anyone. Anyone who thinks he does (including OReilly, Gibson, ED and the boneheads at FOX) need to go back and listen to his address to Congress the week following 9-11.

Thanks

I thought it was Ed Koch...

Noonan said she respected the anti-war activism of John Kerry, then using the issue to launch his political career, until his slanderous congressional testimony in 1971, in which he bore false witness against fellow troops he accused of beheadings, rapes and other tortures “like Genghis Khan.”

Now he wants to be Commander-in-Chief.

“Democrats became not a party but a collection of hungry and demanding groups.” They care about “getting power and using it,”"


This is to our advantage. Since they have so many groups, of which many have seperate and sometimes conflicting interests.

IE: African Americans do not support the Homosexual Agenda, now more than ever, we are seeing a shift in the number of African Americans to the GOP. (Perhaps that is not the entire reason, others include the appointment of Condi and Colin.)

Other conflicts include the Sierra club, which became divided when illegal immigration was a hot topic.

The left is collapsing, getting more desperate....and more dangerous. I am convinced if Bush is reelected, we will see these people go absolutely nuts. If you think they are unhinged now.......

Peggy Noonan articles have joined Ann Coulter's as requiring pictures. Peggy is just as much, if not MORE bablicious than Ms Coulter, considering that she comes with more than bones to hold on to.

Dont make this mistake again, pal.

Thanks. Noonan is always worth a post. I would suspect the difference in giving to charities..not tax exempt foundations etc., but real money going to help real people like Salvation Army...is extreme between conservatives and liberals. It's always amazing to me to see people (like Gore) with large incomes and teeny giving.

[Kaslin]

Yeah I saw the thread where Bill O'Reilly wants the president to apologize because there were no WMDs. I used to like Bill, but he lost my respect. he leans more and mor to the left instead of being a true independent staying in the center

[raynearhood]

It was Churchill that said, "Any man under the age of thirty that is a conservative has no heart. Any man over the age of thirty that is NOT a conservative has no brain."

BTW, I'm under 30... and have no heart. (HA)

The Occidental Petroleum deal paid off for him, huh?

[diamond6]

I am becoming more and more concerned with the polarization between liberals and conservatives in this country. I mean, at some point, this is going to come to a head, and then what? I thought 2000 was bad, I have never in my life seen the hatred that is so evident now and wonder what will make this country united again. Obviously a major terror attack only unites the country for a short time and then its business as usual.

I look forward to other people's comments. Not trying to be negative, but its hard not to.

[Kaslin]

Now he wants to be Commander-in-Chief.

That is what makes it so disgusting. He has never bothered to visit the troops in Iraq or Afghanistan.

He has not found it necessary to visit the wounded at Walter Reed, or any other military hospital here in the States.

Neither has he found it necessary to comfort the widows, the children, the mothers and fathers and the brothers and sisters of those brave troops and marines who gave their lives.

I don't think so
