That poor dad.. how horrible. But they were FReeping right? DO NOT TAKE MINORS to FReep a Kerry event! With today's developments, the situation may become volitile.
I have volenteered for the Bush/Cheney 04 campaign and have sent the President a note via Mrs Bush offering myself for service in The President's 2nd term. I let my job know today that I have done it so if it is the President's pleasure, they have notice.
I've been eating with the same group at lunchtime for years. It's liberal heavy and I've kept quiet and listened to the hysteria. They feed each other hate... name calling the President and so forth.. childish stuff.
Today I went down and it was a smaller group. I began talking campaign stuff.. war in Iraq and one of the wise guys (who I've never really pegged before today) starts shooting his mouth off. I always thought he was a vet.. don't know why - maybe it was that he rolled up his shirtsleeves from the inside or something.. He asked me to change the subject, so I did.. a few minutes later he says 'Bush should go to Dallas' ... I asked why ... He said: 'to get shot, of course' ... I have never had the impulse to kill in my life like I had today. I was shaking. I said to him.. my voice quivering.. do you realize where we are (and I pointed across the street to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall).. He said 'I don't care'. I left. A few hours later, a National Park Service officer was shot and killed at Independence Hall. An hour later, Oliver North denounced John Kerry as an Anti-American on Hannity.
It will be alright Sophia ... God in Heaven protects you and our President. He is taking special care of all of us.
One of my heros of the Revolution was Ben Franklin... I always wondered what it was like then.. what enlightenment felt like. I'm getting some idea now :=} It's very new and feels wonderful. I'm really excited. And I have no fear in dying in the service of my Country.
Great post, DaveMSmith. Most of us know the hypocrisy of the left and their supposed compassion, but to see it for real in a photograph is a harsh reality for many of us, especially those who have faith in people and believe they are basically good.
