It is good to be king.

So long as you do not waste your moral capital in commanding the sea to roll back from the shore.

Terrific..Thanks, John!

The absence of Jimmah Carter monitoring the Iraqi election and his absolute silence over the historic event is proof positive that it was illegitimate. LOL

I'm already working on my Friday Exit Strategy for Happy Hour!

Last evening, Dick Morris called President Bush "the Muhammad Ali of American politics". He has been using the ole rope-a-dope to perfection, and the dims are already falling for it on domestic issues.

(Dunno who the stupidest Democrat is, but ol' Kucinich must be in the running.)

If science ever discovers a stupid gene, I vote to name it a Kookinich.

Great read, JH2. Good humor and insight.

You should be published somewhere.

Can you imagine Jimmy Carter having the guts to do what Dubya has done? No way. Under him, Saddam would still be in power, and we would be "negotiating" with the Taliban.

George W. Bush is just what we need at this time in history. Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush (W's Dad) would have handled this in much the same way. Three men of strength and character. There is not one Democrat that I can think of that would have been able to do the job correctly. Not one.

The Pres has also backed the Islamic cults into a corner of admitting to the world that they dispise democracy, OBL, Hamas, and Zac, have all come out against the very people they claim to have been defending.

This makes it all the harder for the global leftist press to rationalize their murders, and promote their supposed victimhood by Israel and the US.

Which they have been doing for the last 30 years.

Excellent essay.

[Check_Your_Premises]

That was the greatest display of well placed sarcasm density, (defined as sarcasm per number of typed words), I think I have ever seen.

Fine display!

[RottiBiz]

Love your writing, John. Thanks.

[Carolinamom]

Exactly. President Bush has profounded his critics and history will recognize him as one of our GREAT Presidents. We already do, don't we? LOL

[Swede Girl]

Absolutely! He will be listed as one of the great Presidents in American history. He is no-nonsense and straight forward. He sees what needs to be done and does it. He is not afraid of negative feedback because he is true to his moral compass. He is a great man and a great husband. He has all of the qualities that were lacking in his predecessor. He can be trusted. He is all of this and more.

[Carolinamom]

I should have said he has CONfounded his critics, but heck he's PROfound too.....a Freudian slip of the fingers, no doubt. LOL

[Swede Girl]

"Yep, if Bush keeps this up, he'll plunge the whole world into freedom.

Well said, JohnHuang2! This is a great read! Thank you for posting such an eloquent essay!
