That was very well written, John Huang 2. I have to agree with all you said. The elections are the telling point of our being over there. They evidently are a smashing success, which no doubt infuriates the Bush haters. Makes my day.
To: dutchess
Hey Reid, you got that stat wrong. Bush isn't 0-3, he is 3-0!
Specifically:
In 2000 - BUSH WINS! George W. Bush is elected the 43rd President of the United States.
In 2004 - BUSH WINS! George W. Bush is re-elected to a second term as President of the United States.
In 2005 - BUSH WINS! Iraqi citizens are allowed to vote in their own Government.

Life Words
Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 18:21
|
Words of encouragement can be "life words," bringing new motivation to our lives. Mark Twain said that he could live for a whole month on one good compliment.
Christian encouragement, however, is more than a compliment or a pat on the back, valuable as these can be. One writer described it as "the kind of expression that helps someone want to be a better Christian, even when life is rough."
As a youth, Larry Crabb had developed a stutter that humiliated him in a school assembly. A short time later, when praying aloud in a church service, his stutter caused him to get both his words and his theology mixed up in his prayer. Expecting stern correction, Larry slipped out of the service, resolving never to speak in public again. On his way out he was stopped by an older man who said, "Larry, there's one thing I want you to know. Whatever you do for the Lord, I'm behind you one thousand percent." Larry's determination never to speak in public again dissolved instantly. Now, many years later, he addresses large crowds with confidence.
Paul told us to season our speech "with grace" (Colossians 4:6). Then we will speak "life words" that bring encouragement. Joanie Yoder
It may seem insignificant
To say a word or two,
But when it is encouragement,
What wonders it can do! K. De Haan
Correction may mold us, but encouragement will motivate us.

So far this year, in two successful national elections, Iraqis have proven Bush right, Democrats wrong. Democracy in the Middle East...
It's become a great spectator sport to watch the Dems great success at losing on every issue. The Iraqis and We the People are the winners.
Great essay and presentation, JH2 and dutchess!

Good morning, you two. Nice job, as always. Happy, celebrating hugs! I have never been more proud to be an American.
Bush has passed every "critical test" with flying colors and, as a result, Iraqi citizens are out from under the yoke of a dictator, voting and directing the course of their future...as FREE people. And....on the Democratic side of the isle, the flailing and gnashing of teeth continues.
Yes, America and her allies have paid a huge price for this victory for the Iraqi people and for freedom loving people around the world, but can there be a more noble cause? Can their be a better outcome?
Thank you to President Bush and Unites States Military! You have every right to be proud of what you have accomplished.

We have a large Iraqi community in this area. A central voting station was set up in Pleasanton, CA to receive the ballots of these expatriates. Several buses were chartered to transport these folks to Pleasanton. Three departure times per day. Voting continues through today. One lady's picture in the paper yesterday showed her carrying a sign which read "Thank You America for Liverating Iraq." Purple fingers abound!
To: dutchess
Wonderful thread, dutchess. God bless our military and all those working for our freedom at home and abroad. God bless our nation. God bless all those who pray.

Heard a DUmmie yesterday, say about the election, "This isn't the Polar Express."
I say it is.
