Thanks for the comments.

I did hear one comment from W that was a subtle dig. It was the comment that Klintoon could shake a hand, kiss a baby, pose for a picture, etc. (or something like that)..."all at the same time". To me, pointing to Klintoon's duplicitious (or tri-plicitious or even quad-plicitious) tendencies. That was alright.

Look, we all have been subject to various kinds of thread police. And, I realize that many of us are still in hyper-sensitive campaign mode. Kind of like a combat vet that "comes home"...he's still very much on edge.

But, at some point, we have to be frank about things: have we have enough of the "new tone"? Despite the numerous times the demoCREEPs have slapped the administration in the face, when do we stop offering our cheek?

Hence my "call me a sinner" remark. I'm frankly tired of the "new tone" business and I think the speech yesterday rubbed me that way (i.e., just another serious in this new tone business). I think that you will note that I wasn't calling for the "red meat" (Klintoon is a lying, conniving, philandering son-of-a-bitch...all true, by the way), I was simplying hoping for the speech to be "toned down", excuse the pun. That's all.

And, I think that if we were to see through the "heated rhetoric" from the thread yesterday, that we would find some people are just getting fed up with the new tone stuff. It just comes out in different ways.

Hey, we're all FREEPERs. We all, generally, should be working for the defeat of liberals. When the leader of our cause seems to be friendly with or towards the enemy, I think it gives some of us warriors pause.

Just goes to prove that FR is like a big family...fightin', bickerin', arguing over stuff, but we come together to get the job done when it counts.

Thanks for the comments, ohioWfan

Matt, concerning the "new tone," I think you should realize it is a very old tone. It is the command Christ gave to his disciples. Remember, when Peter asked how often we should forgive our enemies, Jesus answered "Seventy times seven." We are told to turn the other cheek, to heap praise upon our enemies, and to forgive.

President Bush is one of the few people I have ever known of who actually lives his faith. When he was converted, he really took the words of our Lord seriously. That is why he will not do what so many people wish. He is following the Lord's commands.

I realize it is very frustrating, but I am always reminded that the Lord is the one who will judge.

The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine.
