LOL, some of these gifs and jpgs are starting to look real familiar!!

We all need to be very afraid of the Dems winning. My family is already tired of me telling them things LOL. My husband said he can't take a 'year' of the political news!! Obviously he doesn't have the interest that we do, even though he IS a Republican.

I reckon that if he's performing at the time [As french-looking default noisemaker (Who by the way served in Vietnam) for the lunatic left's verbalized-bowel-bubbles-brigades] one of those will already be open.

Flashing its newly botox'd teeth.

And blowing smoke.

Sorry, pessimistic mood today after the constant berage of garbage from the LIBERAL (and how dare they deny it) media.

Just imagine how many people in America and beyond think exactly like you... they'll vote for Bush.

The biggest Liberals' mistake is that they sincerely believe that they are THE AVANTGUARD of the mankind, and the rest of us are pure idiots. People feel that, and would never forgive. The reckoning will come on the voting day.

Good post. I'm very suspicious of the events that took place there.

Gen. Giap: Kerry's Group Helped Hanoi Defeat U.S.From Newsmax Article:
The North Vietnamese general in charge of the military campaign that finally drove the U.S. out of South Vietnam in 1975 credited a group led by Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry with helping him achieve victory.
In his 1985 memoir about the war, Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren't for organizations like Kerry's Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the U.S. - according to Fox News Channel war historian Oliver North.
That's why, he predicted on Tuesday, the Vietnam War issue "is going to blow up in Kerry's face."
"People are going to remember Gen. Giap saying if it weren't for these guys [Kerry's group], we would have lost," North told radio host Sean Hannity.
"The Vietnam Veterans Against the War encouraged people to desert, encouraged people to mutiny - some used what they wrote to justify fragging officers," noted the former Marine lieutenant colonel, who earned two purple hearts in Vietnam.
"John Kerry has blood of American soldiers on his hands," North said.

John Kerry could Stand on the Tallest Mountain but no Matter how high up he is he could never be Tall enough to Stand in Ollie North’s Shoes. The difference between Ollie and Kerry is Classic Difference of a Punk and a Mans Man. Kerry ran home and left his crew on the 3 wound Deal, While Ollie Seriously Wounded 3 times elected on his own to Stay in Nam and be there for his Men under his Leadership. John Kerry may be Taller then Ollie but he is a miniature man in comparison to Ollie North. I would pay 500 US Dollars to see Kerry in the ring with Ollie. Only thing is Paying 500 for 60 seconds and then have to watch the replay to see Kerry running out of the ring may not be worth it. Wait, It is worth it. Lol

That's very true and while few here will be glad to hear it, it will probably count for more with the voters than Kerry's idiotic anti-war ranting.

He wet his finger, put it in the air and became a protester.

Interesting take.

The only relevant lesson from Vietnam is this: then, as now, it was not possible for the enemy to achieve military victory over the US; their only hope was that America would, in effect, defeat itself. And few men can claim as large a role in the loss of national will that led to that defeat as John Kerry.

Great words. True words. This VietVet sees Kerry as a traitor and always will.

In the final indignity, when the proto-Islamist regime in Teheran seized the embassy hostages, they too shrewdly understood how thoroughly Kerrified America was. It took Mrs Thatcher's Falklands war and Reagan's liberation of Grenada to reverse the demoralisation of the West that Kerry did so much to advance.

Awesome stuff. New tagline material here.

" ... his view that the war on terror should be more a matter of 'law enforcement' - subpoenas, the Hague, plea bargains. That's as profound a mis-understanding as the fellow on page 70 of my book, raising his butt to the mountain lion. And that's not a position most Americans will want to take."

Great ending to a great essay. This one's a keeper.

Thanks for the *Steyn ping*...been looking forward to getting back to my "reading", and this is the best I've seen for the "truisms" in it...

As always, it's got that humor, sarcasm, etc...but that's all been said by the previous posters...just a great insightful article.

(wonder if Kerry has the courage to raise his "arms", look large, and face off with that guy whose name starts with a big scary animal, and ends Jewishly? LOL!! It's hard to have patience, but there will be some 'splainin' for these liar Democrats to do when the "demonic right wing administration" finally gets around to "the campaign"...I have complete faith in the "give 'em enough rope while we're busy running the country" theory, along with some seriously diligent poll-watching...)
