. . . I do feel confident about his choosing the right people in the military to make those decisions . . .. . . Bush's courage . . .
. . . I once thought we could do better than Bush. I know better now. See, I thought I too had all the answers. I didn't. I'm smarter now. I'm with you all the way, Mr. President.
Am I dreaming?
If you'd like to know more about Tom Roeser, he's on "Beyond The Beltway" which airs on WLS AM-890 in Chicago Sunday nights starting at 7pm. It can be heard in 38 states.
listen, you'll see Roeser isn't a liberal.
Did you know that? I did. I was at the same lunch at the City Club of Chicago with both of them.
Reagan was the same way...always telling us what a great people we are. After a while, you start to feel it. Optimists are always able to draw people to their side.
God bless President Bush.
Would these people look at the best orchestra in the world and call the conductor "stupid" because he has to use musicians to make the music he creates? Nope! Then how can they remove themselves from the obvious when it comes to President Bush? Simple, they are biased biased biased.
Thats Bruce Dumonts show. Tom is on right after that on sunday.
I haven't listened in awhile. When did they change his time slot?
I used to thoroughly enjoy listening to Roeser on WLS weekend mornings. Too bad he stopped doing that show. Loved his opening, playing Kate Smith.
This Bush fellow is the real deal. It doesn't take long to figure it out if one just has the common sense to pay attention. We got lucky! Gore almost wound up as president.
Classic. Well done.
Paid off well for the bankers! Thomas Jefferson understood finance too and disagreed with Hamilton.
"I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessities and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow suffers.
Our land-holders, too, like theirs, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs but held really in trust for the treasury, must wander, like theirs, in foreign countries, and be contented with penury, obscurity, exile, and the glory of the nation. This example reads to us the salutary lesson, that private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagances. And this is the tendency of all human governments.
A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for the second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia, which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man.
And the fore horse on this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." THOMAS JEFFERSON (Letter to Samuel Kercheval, Monticello, July 12, 1816).
To the contrary, President Bush is quite a genius. Perhaps this is what's sticking in the craw of Roeser (supporter of Keyes). I've always been impressed with Keyes knowledge and wisdom but he just can't seem to get along with people. An important tool if one wants to lead.
And sticking in the craw of liberals who wanted so desperately for GWB to be dumb. Much to their chagrin, President Bush has shown time and time again their mistake in hanging their hopes on that tired mantra.
Yes President Bush is quite good at picking advisors but what most don't want to admit is he is the one making the tough decisions. Taxes for example, he believes are morally wrong when made to become burdensome.
It doesn't matter that a word or two now and then gets slaughtered, or that he speaks with a twang as some might say. As a matter of fact it just might be part of the genius, keeping the naysayers off kilter.
He is a conservative.
