We would be better to use our energy to fight the current rats instead of worrying about language changes. That is like trying to fight a massive incoming tide with a sand castle.

The left wing lunatics out here go out of their way to avoid being called a liberal. Liberal out here for a very large part of us means someone who is very bad.

"...great faith in your age group with those who are conservative."

We're the Reagan Generation, sir...and just as the WWII generation won the war against Fascism and just as the following generation won the Cold War against creeping Socialism, so shall the Reagan Generation ROUT America's DemonRAT Left during our time in the sun.

The greatest world-wide danger to FReedom today is the Lib'ral American DemonRAT Left...however, they are demonstrably-WRONG and shall be DESTROYED as a viable political alternative within the next 10 years as Lib'ral DemonRATS achieve third-party status.

HOO the heck wants to be a Minion fer the EffeteElite anyway?! Unless yer part of the RAT Politboro, Lib'ralism's got nuthin' to offer!!

FReegards...MUD

LOL...yep, but we gotta git control of the language...Classic Liberalism is the antithesis of what the DemonRAT Lib'rals propose!!

Ah, you hit an issue I care a great deal about. ;-) Indeed. There is something called the "Tradition of American Liberalism", or Classical Liberalism, which is...basically what conservatism is now, and the EXACT opposite of current liberal doctrine.

Liberals co-opt these phrases without the slightest ideas of what they mean. Just as easily as they take Nazi or "Russia in the 1920s" and somehow...dunno what they're smoking, but give me some...feel these labels can be applied to modern-day America whilst keeping a straight face.

Classical Liberalism is...well, I won't use the French, I'll translate, heh: Liberty, Equality, and Universal Brotherhood. All of which the (current) liberals hate.

You are also right about a great deal of work needing to be done on the homefront -- I WISH I would hear "cap gains cut" or talk about a cap gains freeze if you're re-investing, cuz that's what really lit a fire under the American economy's butt the last time around. Subsiziding success and taxing failure, while it makes common sense, is the reverse of what the liberals want -- which means they want less success and more failure, basically, although they've argued themselves into believing that's not what they're talking about.

However, as for being "de-clawed" by multiculturalism...I speak as one who suffered through public education institutions that tried to shove all that crud down my throat repeatedly. It made me frustrated and more conservative -- and I wasn't the only one -- and this was at UC *Berkeley*. When I took a tour of Stanford, the #1 question on every prospective student's lips was, "Is the PC as bad as I hear it is?!?!" Mark my words -- human nature is human nature, and PC runs counter to human nature, and eventually there is a backlash. I think the backlash has already begun.

That being said, the tradition of America as a melting pot -- "true" multiculturalism, as I would dub it -- seems to me, anecdotally, to be gaining steam once again, as it should.

In other words, they tried to declaw us, and they declawed a lot of us, but those of us with claws left look at the domesticated poodles of the left...and we start sharpening OUR claws immediately.

[Kip Lange]

I have great faith in your age group with those who are conservative.

And I, for my part, will do my very best to make sure that faith was not placed in vain! Thank you.

[Grampa Dave]

I know that you will, my sons and my DIL will, all of our neices and nephews and the conservaive friends of our relatives and those we know will.

This is why we need over 60 real republican senators elected in 2004 with President Bush.

Then, we can dismantle the 50 years of Rat socialism that hinders young people like you. In the meantime we can invest in the American Stock Indexes and good American Mutual Funds and companies as part of our down payment for your future.

This Bush Administration is one of the few times in history that we have had a group of truly top-flight people working as a team.

Good commentary.

I was thinking along similar lines in that Bush is and has been at his best. He expects his top people to be at their best and leads by example. Striving to be at their best on the job at hand is what gives them real power and effectiveness. Politics is off the radar screen in their personal realms. They do have to deal with foreign politics and politics inside our own government. It appears that the way they have done that is to say, "okay, we'll try it your way for awhile. You have important roles to add and we want to hear what you have to add."

Those that have something of substance and value to add are welcomed aboard. Others that show that their true colors are self-serving political agenda had their chance and made their choice. So be it.

It seems that rendering oneself -- be it an individual, government or organization -- irrelevant is almost contagious. But it's not. Certain people and groups have built their own-house-of-cards illusions and can't manage to get out of the way of themselves fast enough. We've witnessed it with the United Nations security council, certain Democrats, president Chirac and the French government and to somewhat lesser extent the German and Russian government.

Lets not forget that many media outlets are their own worst enemies. Two of the three big three networks, ABC and CBS, despite historical reference that shows they gain about 10% more viewers during big news stories have lost about 15% of their audience. Most of them picked up by FOX which serves twenty million fewer homes and the Internet.

They could get a lot done.

Gotta love it. George W. Bush is one shrewd poker player.

Got that right. My son in college tells me many of his liberal friends have turned and said flat out they are voting for Bush and many Republicans. Seen the same thing with my middle son and his high school buddies. All are seniors, avid Fox news watchers and have the most fun debating the liberal fools in Gov't classes.

When we see many college libs starting to turn, I can only imagine what's happening with the older fence sitters. The RAT socialists and their Hollyweird/Media buddies will have gotten us more votes than Rush Limbaugh could ever hope to do. No disrespect meant to El 'Rushbo at all. It merely proves his point....they do us more good than anybody.

[Grampa Dave]

There are some very strong young conservatives at Cal Berkley and UC Davis. They are gaining in numbers and strength.

"Slime"
(To be sung to the Five Man Electrical Band's "Signs")

Guv'ment said, "Right-wing, Christian people need not apply."
So I buried my views down deep in my heart, and I went in to ask Bill, "Why?"
He said, "You look like a fine Left-leanin' young man, I think you'll do!"
So I called out to Slick, sang, "It'd make me sick, PUNK, me workin' for you!"...Woah!
Slime, slime, ev'rywhere there's slime,
Obstructin' inquiries, trashin' what's Right!
Do this, don't do that...Lib'rals blow my mind!!

And Carville said, "Anybody caught dissentin' best be ready to FIGHT!"
So I jumped on the stage and I yelled at the louse, "James, what gives you the right...
To put up a Wall to keep the Truth out, or to keep this Vile Prez'dent in?
If Reagan was well, he'd tell ya to your face, 'Boy, you're some kind of sinner!!!'"
Slime, slime, ev'rywhere there's slime,
Attackin' good Americans for doin' what's Right!
What's this, DemocRATS, don't you feel contrite?!

Well, hey Whorealdo, can't you read? How much did the White House pay you off to deceive?
We can't bear to watch, NO! Damn the Elites...keep their Power preyin' on our fears!
"TIME" says, "You gotta have a Socialist Card to report their lies...!!
Unhh!!

But the Right says, "Ev'rybody's welcome to come in, kneel down and pray...
But since the Left's Bias corrupts it all, our views don't get any airplay.
So I got me a pen and a paper, and I made up my own little songs...
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me...I'm alive and Rightin' Wrongs..."
Wooo!!!

It's high time Right showed a li'l spine...
Insist on Re-Impeachment, Raze Left's Wall of Slime...
Do this, and you'll find that...Ol' Slick'll Do Time!!
Slime, slime...Clinton SHALL DO TIME!!
Slime...slime, slime...

"What's the Truth?!"
(To be sung to Johnny Cash's "What is Truth?")

Rush Limbaugh's talkin' on the Rad-ee-oh...
Sayin', "Where did our sense of Justice go?
Slick sure seems to be inventin' new ways...
Of keepin' the Truth from gettin' airplay!!"
Said, "They're crooks, you see, and their motives're Vile!!"
Still, the Medyuh says, "Bill's OUR Flower Child!!"
Country, can't you see thru these Lyin' Boys?
We gotta FIGHT to be heard o'er their LeftWing Noise!!
While the Lonely Voice of Youth cries..."What's the Truth?!"

My little boy of five, playin' in the yard,
Looks up and says, "Daddy, who's Ken Starr?" [yeah, it's an old song, circa 4/99...I'll fix it.]
"Son, he's trackin' bad men who Cheat and Lie!!"
Little man of five says, "Slick Ain't Right!!"
Young men of seventeen killin' kids at school,
As Courts outlaw the Golden Rule...
No prayer in school, teachers puttin' Faith down,
While Slick Willie jokes, "Let's pass a Joint aroun'!"
Can you blame the Voice of Youth fer askin' "What's the Truth?!"

EX-Prez'dent's sittin' on the Witness Stand,
The man with the Book says, "Raise yer hand...
Repeat after me, 'I solemnly swear...' "
Yet the Nation said, "We just don't care."
'Cuz although Clinton solemnly swore,
Nobody really trusted Slick no more.
Culture's got so sleazy that America's unaware...
That EX-Prez'dent sold China missiles that're aimed at Bel Air!!
Still the RightWing's called uncouth fer askin', "What's the Truth?!"

Young girl internin' with the White House Sleaze...
Doin' Bill's job while on her knees!!
FReepers protest in the Public Square,
While fightin' 'gainst this Lib'ral Nightmare!!
Yeah, these young'uns that yer callin' "WILD"...
Are gonna be yer Leaders in a little while!!
The Whole World's Wakin' to FReedom today,
And I solemnly swear that it'll be OUR way!!
We gotta help our Voiceless Youth find, "What is True?!"
'Cuz the future needs more Youth askin', "What's the Truth?!!"

A little Johnny Cash never hurt anyone...MUD

Only the very best-managed companies look like that at the top.

Good observation, but you'll never hear it from the press, at least not with proper emphasis or prominence.

Remember the transition? The press trapped themselves on that one with their own spin. Having predicted deep difficulties for an administration of questionable legitimacy attempting to govern a deeply divided nation, they were then forced to acknowledge the stunningly deft transition, and report the opinions of policy experts who hailed it as the most successful transition in the history of the modern presidency. As a bonus, many reminded their interviewers that the most successful transition previously had been that of Reagan, and that The Rapist's transition was inept and plagued with difficulties.

The press clearly hated having to report on this. The funny (and deeply satisfying) thing about it all was they might have been able to ho-hum their way past acknowledging this first notable accomplishment of the administration if they had not been so over the top in poisoning the atmosphere previously.

Still, some of the press did largely ignore the transition story, and those that didn't spun it explicity as being due to Cheney's deft management (which, one must admit, was proper attribution, except for the, "Bush is dumb, Cheney is the smart one," subtext) and spun it implicity as Bush being a lucky idiot, at best benefiting intially from an easy going (and stupid) geniality.

The full story was amost never told, and as proof I doubt even most FReepers ever heard it: How, when the press was portraying Bush as fecklessly idling at the ranch, Cheney had his transition team doing a highly detailed and penetrating study of previous presidential transitions, including exstensive interviews with dozens of key figures. They produced a thick study from this research, focusing on what had worked and what hadn't. The resulting insights were used to construct a transition plan for Dubya's administration that systematically layed out philosophy, priorities, procedures and responsibilities and that averted the usual confusions. Everyone was clear on their roles, there was minimal fuss, and Team Bush hit the ground running.

I've always felt that those who've claimed Bush "grew in office" after 911 just weren't paying attention early one. It was clear to me from day one (as much as it possibly could be) that this would be an exceptional presidency.

I don't think HE likes Stalin, do you?? :o)

Nope ! Nor do I think he likes his student, Saddam, either ! . . .

[Anamensis]

It doesn't surprise me at all that you were threatened by the tolerant, open-minded denizons of the left. After all, they are enlightened and they realize that sometimes you gotta break some eggs to make an omelette... and Stalin, Castro, Hussein, et al are their favorite chefs.

But don't worry about the conservative support personnel in Hollywood. When I become President, I too will give the Ba'ath Party 48 hours to get out of California. That oughtta give your friends enough time to head for the hills before the bombing starts. ;^)

[hchutch]

Indeed. I'm very impressed by a lot of these people.

We could have a very crowded field on our side in 2008.

[MeekOneGOP]

And, though I don't agree with my 'HERO' on every issue (who does??), he has restored honor and dignity to the Oval Office, freed two nations from slavery . . .

Yep ! All that you listed in your post and much more ! . . .

since you mention the war, i couldn't resist posting these, hehehe ! . . .

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

There are so many great sides to our President. Here is one of my favorite pics.. since this article mentioned Iraqi's kissing his picture :o)
