The bully pulpit was the most under utilized weapon by President Bush and the 109th Congress... to our demise in October.....
The media is a powerful enemy, we've seriously mis-underestimated just how far in the tank they'll go for the DRats, the 'news' and 'events' they choose to publicize and for whose benefit.

Now home again, though less than before
His love and life, beside him now
Their life together, sprung again.
Still, laughter found, with no meadows run,
Together once more, life begun

And each told the other
So love, my love, my thanks
For you did remember, remember me.

So their fellows they now did ask
For duty done, for task fulfilled
For my price paid, beyond gold or geld
Will you remember, remember me?

Thank you for your weary views. Many of us share your opinions but differ in our resolve as to how to proceed.

One course is without a doubt not reliable, inasmuch as it revolves mostly around a failed concept of self-will and lack of trust in a higher power. For many rugged individuals it appears suicidal to put one's trust in outworkings of Providance and let the enemy and external forces combine to ultimate defeat because hasty types read this as surrender and non-involovement...which of course it is certainly not.

The weary may seek respite and find renewal in the knowledge that others will carry the flag and continue the quest. Justice will be done and served no matter the cost or the price. We will be victorious and all of our enemies at home and abroad will be defeated.

A copy of this should be put on every democrat's desk and taped to their walls foreheads.

BTTT! Thank you for posting this. I know it's been posted before, but I do like this letter so.

"I'm tired that my generation, the Baby Boom/Vietnam generation, who have such a weak backbone that they can't stomach seeing the difficult tasks through to victory."

Oh man, how I do agree with this Soldier! Shame on us Baby Boomers (in general, not in particular).

They put an end to that "immoral" war.

Oh, so that's what they mean by "ending a war"!

See, I always thought that "ending a war" meant bring hostilities to a close. Now I see that -- for 'Rats, the MSM and leftists in any case -- "ending a war" means stepping aside, cutting off aid to and deligitimizing those defending themselves against thuggish or totalitarian aggression, and letting the war escalate at the hands of an unleashed and unrestrained enemy, to the point where literally millions are murdered and tens of millions enslaved.

It's rather an odd way to "end war," but it's good to know that's what they mean!
