That our soldiers like this keep flying and they come home soon with honor.

Hugh Hewitt asks "Why vote for Bush and What's Wrong With Kerry?"
I'll leave it to others to tackle the second half of that question as they do so ably at the many links off Hugh's site.
The polls are open in California and after I finish this item, I'm going down to the Albertson's Supermarket across from the beach here in Laguna Beach and cast my ballot. It will be the first time I've ever voted for a Republican ticket in a National Election.
Before this, I voted Democrat right down the line. But I was asleep and I was foolish. Now, at least I can say I'm awake.
It's not that I'm overjoyed with George Bush (although at least one of my friends cannot be convinced otherwise), nor that I think the Republican Party is overwhelmingly admirable. None of that. It's never easy to vote when the only viable choices are two, but that's the deal right now. And my job today as a citizen is to choose. So I will choose George W. Bush.
There are many reasons why, but here's 50.
That our soldiers like this keep flying and they come home soon with honor.
That this hero will not have died in vain, and that our victory means a birth of freedom for Iraq.
That men like this are hunted to the ends of the Earth and destroyed.
That those who would do this to children and the innocent are utterly defeated.
That the mass graves vanish never to reappear, and that the animals are given swift and certain justice.
That our soldiers fight with valor and that biotoxins are kept from our land.
That quislings are shown in their true colors, and the carnage of war kept from our shores.
That the cowardice of kidnappers and hate-merchants be brought to a swift end.
That the cowardly killings in Spain are answered even though that country lacks the courage to answer them itself.
That even though many in Spain died in vain, none of our soldiers will.
That the American Flag will be seen around the world as it truly is -- the harbinger of freedom and the last, best hope of Earth.
That the secret assassins of tyranny continue to fall before the secret soldiers of Democracy.
That children may grow up knowing that soldiers came from far away, and gave their lives so that they could be free.
That evil is consumed unto ash, while the good rise up on the prayers of comrades.
That those who order the murder of children be exposed as the butchers they are.
That the creatures who would do this to an American or to any human be removed from the future of the world by any means necessary.
That the body bags of Beslan are never seen in Baltimore.
That the killers of babies are sent to the Pit.
That corrupt institutions are expunged from our soil, ..... and that... this,
... and this, ... and this,
... and this, ... and this,
... and this, ... and this,
... and this, ... and this,
... and this, ... and this,
never happen again.
And that Freedom reign.
HAVANA, Oct. 19, 2004 -- A multitude of unlikely volunteers is working the phones for Sen. John Kerry in the swing state of Florida. His campaign is unaware of the support, as the volunteers do not live in the United States, but in Communist-run Cuba.

you still up too huh?
Especially the images of the American engineer who was beheaded, (what an ugly, clinical term for grisly murder.) Above the caption [That the creatures who would do this to an American or to any human be removed from the future of the world by any means necessary.]
I have long maintained that it didn't start with us. Long before they killed any of us they killed one of their own.
Anwar Sadat, who was gunned down for daring to make peace with Israel. This was the first indication of the nature of this ugly beast. It has grown over the years. We have fed it - by not opposing it, until it brought down the clearest symbol of capitalism in the western world, The Twin Towers.
Make no mistake about it. This is more than just "cultural differences."
Know why the "Arab" world is so poor? The Koran FORBIDS loans at interest. It is impossible to create businesses because one cannot borrow to create a business. This is an ECONOMIC BATTLE as much as it is an ideological one. Until you understand THAT you can't understand what is happening here.
This isn't about naked girls and MTV, as so many would have you believe. This is about an economic system controlled by government that says where you can work, what business you can own, how much money you can make, how much you must tithe to the church and what you can do in your free time.
I'm afraid we still don't really understand the war that we are engaged in. The communists at least claimed to be rational. Do these people? Is there a modicum of reason among them?
Well done, friend. I've never met you, and probably won't. Matter of fact, our paths ever crossing are quite slim, but your post above says more to me than mere words can.
May God Bless you and yours.
Thank you again.
Thanks!
