Did you see the information I posted earlier concerning the newly formed organization VETS FOR FREEDOM?!
http://www.vetsforfreedom.org/
These vets/WOT supporters are 'banding' together to combat the MSM's relentless negativity toward our War on Terror (particularly our mission in Iraq) . . . TRUTH TO DEMAGOGUERY! [I plan to make a donation ASAP!]
I caught about 20 minutes of Hannity's radio show today, and he had the guy from that website on briefly. I joined their group (will contribute $$ too) so their numbers can grow. From what I've seen it's a great website and wonderful idea.
With a PERSONAL APPROVAL rating over 60% (despite a polling sample that over-represented Democrats by double digits), the President doesn't need to hide!
Regardless, the President's a wise man to ignore bogus opinion polls!
Guess I'd best not extend this line of thinking -- it is not in the good spirit of The Daily Dose.
I think we all hear ya, though!
I just checked out their website and plan to join...thanks for the info..
I think the sign up for the Medicare RX plan expires in May. Even so, I appreciate our President talking about it. It IS confusing, and it is difficult to get proper information -- not because of our Government but because all of the private plans provide conflicting info.
One of the most decisive battles of the world, that established Western Civilization, was the Battle of the Marathon 490 BC. Greece was threatened by the forces of King Darius, the Persian King. It was said that the arrows of his armies could "darken the sun". Sir Edward Creasy quoth: "not merely the fate of two armies,but the whole future progress of human civilization".
A small force of Athenians gathered to repel his invasion. The hard men of Sparta declined- because of religious reasons. A small force of Plataeans marched to support them.
The rest is history. Darius fled for his life. Today, President George W. Bush, might well be THE leader,that understands the nature of what faces us today.
If this man loses,it could fulfill what was said in 1914. "The lights are going out and we may not see them lit again in our lifetime".
Iran is the new name for Persia.
Has anybody noticed that finally, AND I REPEAT FINALLY, his press secretary and cabinet, and he-himself is finally getting ruthless and rude to the press? That's the Bush I can finally stand behind!
Haven't you been told to leave before?
Thank you for the GREAT Dose tonight Eleanor. Just got in .. just scanned the pix.. need to read all.. but wanted to drop you a quick note if you are still up.
Isn't the internet terrific? we can talk to friends around the world...
Good for you. I just went to VetsforFreedom and donated after hearing their leader on 2 radio shows today. What a wonderful organization and we certainly need it. He's a soft spoken tough guy and I loved the stories and his faith in our soldiers.
Yes...and it frames our dear President soooo nicely, don't you think? great post!
yes it is a good framing effect. Pix I take that I like are shrubs, tree limbs etc framing the subject in the distance.
where will you be in ohio? lots of Freepers here. Maybe some can meet you for lunch etc depending on everyones timing/location. I am in NE ohio.
Oh to have REAL still camera equipment. I see shots every day that would be so great to capture. I like artsy close ups and great framing composition ideas. Hubby is the video guy, I like stills.
