"I hope that when you're my age,
you'll be able to say,
as I have been able to say:
We lived in Freedom.
We lived lives that were a statement,
not an apology."

President Ronald Reagan--Address to St. John's University, March 28, 1985. Knowing what we know since the early morning murdering of innocent citizens by terrorists on September 11, 2001, it is IMHO Daschle that should be rising to the occasion and be doing the apologizing to our President Bush. And furthermore, next time he visits the graves of brave dead G.I. Joes he remembers that theyh courageously sacrificed their precious lives so Americans remain free and not kowtow to the UN, Saddam, or any other lunatic despotic tyrannical barbarian.

Perhaps, President Bush, Cowboy II, should follow President Reagan's, Cowboy I, lead and say much the same to the puzzleheaded Daschle.

The Washington Post took offense at comments made by Vice President Cheney, at a fund raiser for Adam Taff, running against incumbent Dennis Moore, Democrat in Kansas. Moore is apparently a Daschle lib, who tries to masquerade as a conservative Dem. Taff is a Naval Aviator and 767 pilot for United. This guy sounds like he has more than enough testosterone for Daschle, Gore and the rest of the Dems. Don't know why we haven't heard more about him before.From his website:


"I am a proud Kansan and have been honored to serve my country as a U.S. Naval officer and fighter pilot for the majority of my adult life. . This conviction stems foremost an instilled love of the principles of our Republic, the virtue of public service, and a love of God. With that as my backdrop, I am a proud candidate for the U.S. Congress in the Third District of Kansas.




"I want to ensure that our families, our children, our businesses, and our churches have the strong leadership on the national level that will enable this community to prosper and be safe for generations to come.


I was an academic All-American in football, played varsity baseball, was my senior class president, and graduated with honors with a BA in Economics. After graduation, I finished one year of Law School at Kansas University before joining the Navy.

My professional career in the Navy provided me invaluable experiences -- life experiences, and interaction with high ranking foreign and domestic military officers and politicians -- that has helped mold and develop my Republican views of our political system and our way of life. I was the number one graduate of more than 500 pilots in the Naval Aviation Pilot Training Program in 1990. The following year, I was the number one graduate of more than 75 pilots completing the F/A-18 qualification course, receiving the coveted Rear Admiral Moran Award. Further, I received the "Nugget of the Year" award as the top junior officer at Naval Air Station Cecil Field, Florida, in 1992. Most rewarding, though, was being voted Pilot of the Year in both 1993 and 1994 by my fellow squadron mates. I ran divisions in Operations, Administration, Safety and Maintenance overseeing large staffs. I am honored to wear thirteen different medals and ribbons.

My missions have included sorties in support of Deny Flight in Bosnia, Southern Watch in Iraq, and Restore Hope in Somalia. I have spent many months interacting with and visiting diverse regions including Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Greece, Malta, Croatia, and nine other European countries. In each instance, I eagerly interacted with the local population, listening to their impressions of America and Americans. I engaged in numerous discussions regarding their and our economic and social systems, and ways to improve both of those systems and our relationships. It was during this time that I received my "de facto" degree in International Relations.

I lived in Switzerland for two and a half years. As one of two American military officers in the country (outside of the U.S. embassy) I was not only an ambassador for our country, but worked closely with our Ambassador and her staff. Because of my position, I was a frequent speaker on radio and television -- in English and fluent German -- explaining the program, and invariably the American way of life, throughout the country. I became close friends with the Chief of the Swiss Air Force, and enjoyed personal meetings with two different Presidents of Switzerland. In addition, I was involved in meetings with the Air Force European General in Command, and the subsequent Chief of Naval Operations.


The military also provided me with an outstanding variety of continuing education including several leadership schools, management courses, nuclear weapons safety and employment, and many classes of aviation, meteorology, and physiology. Currently, I fly the Boeing 767 for United Air Lines and I continue to fly the F/A-18 for the U.S. Navy Reserves.

Throughout my adult life, I have been rewarded by tutoring disadvantaged children. I know the importance of a strong educational system and how it can make all the difference in the lives of young people.

We are at one of the defining moments of our nation's history. We are the leader of the free world. With that comes the moral responsibility to make the difficult decisions that must be born from strength, wisdom, and an adherence to the values that have sustained our great Republic. I believe I am the candidate in the Third District that can most effectively fulfill those obligations for Kansans."

Get out your checkbooks,this guy sounds like a keeper.

This is the equal to the subliminal accusation. It is pure fiction. Something from nothing and then a BIG BANG! and voila! Scandal.

Mr, and I do use the term very loosely, Daschle, as to the subject of your want of an apology, I'll quote a much wiser and braver man than you. As General McAuliffe said to the Germans while surrounded by the Germans "Nuts"

He added, his voice growing raspy: "You tell those who fought in Vietnam and World War II they are not interested in the security of the American people," because they are Democrats. "That is outrageous."

What is more outrageous is the rantings of Mr. Daschle and others who have a problem with taxpayers paying him for a defense that he is unwilling to fund. Is Mr. Daschle outraged over the outrageous?

So are are a whole lot of taxpayers.

  • It is outrageous that the Clinton Democrats thought it was OK to look the other way when the WTC was bombed the first time -- almost ten years ago.
  • It was outrageous when the Democrats looked the other way when our soldiers (on a UN peace keeping mission) were being dragged through the streets of Sudan by terrorists -- it was more outrageous that those soldiers requested help, and never got it.
  • It was outrageous that the Democrats would not take seriously the claims of middle east groups who may have participated in the OKC bombing (remember - the press was told to quash all stories of muslim extremists who claimed involvement - it was politically easier to pin it all on one man than to investigate a group of people who may have had a bad case of Gulf War Retaliation Syndrom) -
  • It was outrageous for the Democratic White House to bomb an aspirin factory to distract the fact that the president was about to be impeached, and to not demand enhanced security when the USS Cole was bombed -
  • It is outrageous that the Democrats think so little of their fellow Americans that they would further jeopardize their security by not investigating why the INS (Ted Kennedy is in charge of that agency) allowed terrorists into America for the past ten years.
  • It is even more outrageous that this agency still has no means of knowing who it let in the country, whose visas are expired, or where these people are. (Yes, this is the agency that extended suicide bombers visas months after 911).
  • It is outrageous that the Democrats permitted an impeached president to further jeopardize the US by pardoning convicted terrorists (that includes economic terrorists such as Rich) for the sole purpose of funding elections.
  • Waco was outrageous, so was Ruby Ridge, so was the Elian Gonzalez Raid, the "Bubble Economy," and much, much more. Outrageous? You bet.

    Today's Democrats would rather be courting third world countries (Indonesia), Bhuddist temples, union thugs, environmental extremists, and every other fringe group to fund elections, further political egos, and enhance socialist agendas. Mr. Daschle, the Democrats you pointed out who served our country, are not the same noble men who fought in Viet Nam or WWII - those were the men with the guts to put America first before their political party.

    After Daschle takes responsibility for the Left's destruction of our security: http://www.yaf.org/speakers/books/horowitz.pdf - then maybe Bush can apologize.
