In "Fate is the Hunter", Ernest K. Gann tells us of a fellow pilot with whom he had occasion to share a long flight.  The pilot's name was Park and he was from Texas....

"Park was what so many Texans think they are, or would like to be. He was long and lean and hard. His pale gray eyes belonged behind the sights of a gun barrel and his walk seemed wrong without the clinking of spurs. He was a shy man and quiet spoken, a wonderfully simple man and if he had any nerves I had yet to observe them."

And later.....

"Park's voice suddenly faded away as it often did when he had pronounced the meat of his thoughts; He had no use whatsoever for verbal trimmings."

I cannot imagine a better description of the one of America's finest Presidents - George W. Bush.

Our President rose to this challenge. These attacks on freedom and liberty will not stand! I am proud to be an American.
