I adore Cavuto. I'm willing to bet that he's as nice in person as he is on TV.

I adore Cavuto. I'm willing to bet that he is the same decent and nice man in person as he is on TV.
Thanks for including the link to his bio: He has more than made-up for his stint as an intern in the Carter White House.

LOL! Sorry about the double post! Ignore the first two, it's the third amended post I thought I was posting!
New high-speed internet connection is driving me nuts! Very fast. Too fast and too light to the touch for my banging fingers!

Oh the horror!

Bump!

Big Bump! I saw "Cavuto" the day he addressed "The Pin". When he was done my jaw was on the floor. A great patriot he is, indeed. As a veteran and son and brother of veterans, thanks for posting this: I'm saving it to send to family and friends. Thanks again!

his stint as an intern in the Carter White House As Churchill is known to have said:
Unless you're a liberal by the time you're 20, you have no heart!
...and unless you're conservative by the time you're 30, you have no brains!

P.S. Ok, maybe my memory didn't capture it fully verbatim, but that was the essence of it.

My email to Neil:
Just read your piece to Fred C. about your wearing the Flag pin on FreeRepublic.com. I don't catch your show often because of my hours and, as a retired Army NCO, I don't have a lot of money to manage.
After 9-11 most of the folks at the hospital where I work heaped on the pins and ribbons. I was confronted one day by a newly reborn patriot about my lack of a pin and therefore patriotism.
I whipped out my DD Form 2 (Retired Military ID card) and told her I have been wearing this in my back pocket for 9 years. It is my ticket back to combat anytime my Uncle Sam calls and that I had traded the green version (Active Duty) for it after carrying it 20 years to places like Germany, Korea, Egypt, Desert Storm, etc.
I thanked her for her new found appreciation for our country and our military and told her I hope she still wears her pin long after it is out of fashion.
As for Fred C. and those like him..... he just needs a good old fashioned asswhoopin.

You're what America is all about, FReeper Feckless!
It's as certain as death and taxes that Neil Cavuto will treasure your e-mail and I won't be at all surprised to hear him read it on air!
Thank you for your service and for finding your way to FR! I'm honored to make your acquaitance! God bless you.
I've pinged JR and Tonk, because I "know" Tonk will either make use of his ping list or he'll cut and paste your post # 12 on his wonderfully inspirational and patriotic daily thread.

If the jerk harrassing Cavuto snarled about him being a "bleeding patriot" he might not even be American. And a lot of Euros -- as we know -- just hate this country with all their stinky might.

Thanks for the ping, Tonk!
I think it shameful that a reporter/journalist/anchor/program host/whatever should NOT consider himself an American first. I keep trying to imagine what WWII coverage would have been like with the U.S. media pulling for Hitler and whining over D-Day and every other step into or flight over Africa/Italy/France/Germany. And they would have been very "deeply saddened and concerned" over the Pacific Theater actions, particularly Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Feh on them all and God bless the patriotic ones like Neil!

I thought your last name began with an "M".

"I hope she still wears her pin long after it is out of fashion." And therein lies the difference, brother.
We were patriotic before patriotism was cool.
