QUOTE OF THE DAY: Not over my dead body will they raise your taxes.
There were two points that need repeating by many and often. The first, was "it is time for the people in Washington to think of their country first and their party second." The second, was adamant refusal to accept that raising taxes would result in in economic growth --he could have added, that if raising taxes maintained growth, Rome would still rule the world.
It will always happen, and there is nothing necessarily wrong with it. But as a practical matter, it is senseless and illogical.
I revere Ronald Reagan. I am so thankful for him. One of the reasons I revere him is, he recognized the danger of adulation.
W has turned out to be an amazingly good leader. But W is admirable b/c he recognizes that he is an historic accident, and b/c he has brought true American values to the totally gratuitous opportunity he has been given.
Giving him movie star status feeds into the debasement of American culture. True conservatism -- meaning the conservatism I espouse (lol) -- wants to dampen the cult of the famous.
I heard both of President Bush's speeches today and they were wonderful!
I thought that the "not over...." was a direct hit at Dashle, letting him know that he would absolutely veto any attempt to raise taxes.
Read, somewhere here on FR, that there were only 2,000 in that audience. It sure looked like hordes more than that. Did anyone hear the real figure?
You can say that again!!!! Thank God for President Bush, a clear and certain leader and friend of the American people, just what is needed with such ridiculousness with the Daschle and his democRats. Thanks for your post, rintense.
Listening to dubya yesterday made my heart swell with the knowledge that if the obstructionist demorats will get out of the way, dubya will do what is right for this country and it's citizens.
Saturday's town hall reminds me of two things: 1) When Rush Limbaugh says the Democrats haven't had a new idea in decades (why do they think this Pres. Bush is going to act exactly the same as his father? That makes no sense at all), and 2) When Pres. Bush said "We're facing something familiar, they're facing something new." Indeed.
BTTT! Thanks, rintense.
Great pix of our President's speech, which was a barn-burner! Loved it when a couple of our military people told him how proud they are to have him as our Commander-in-Chief. What a difference from those eight miserable years that now seem like a bad nightmare.
