Fire Away
LOL... great one :)
Exactly.
I hate 'SOTU'! I hate 'Reponse', too.! Who's Jim Webb? And I'll never have that recipe again!
I saw that also.
Don't know what it means, except that he has no class.
I just caught the last 1/2 hour of the SOTU. How was Kerry's behavior during it?
Perhaps Webb failed to read Jackson's Farewell Speech, which contained warnings about the tendency of those elected to power to "enlarge the powers of the General Government" and of the need for the people to curb what he called unconstitutional taxing and taking of their own wealth. He warned of the dangers of "paper money" whereby the people's earnings could be inflated away (sounds like he foresaw the Federal Reserve's printing of money). Hard to believe Jackson would ever support the socialist idea of forced redistribution of wealth advocated by Webb and the Democrats.
Jackson's Farewell remarks to the nation contained these final words:
"You have no longer any cause to fear danger from abroad; your strength and power are well known throughout the civilized world, as well as the high and gallant bearing of your sons. It is from within, among yourselves--from cupidity, from corruption, from disappointed ambition and inordinate thirst for power--that factions will be formed and liberty endangered. It is against such designs, whatever disguise the actors may assume, that you have especially to guard yourselves. You have the highest of human trusts committed to your care. Providence has showered on this favored land blessings without number, and has chosen you as the guardians of freedom, to preserve it for the benefit of the human race. May He who holds in His hands the destinies of nations make you worthy of the favors He has bestowed and enable you, with pure hearts and pure hands and sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of time the great charge He has committed to your keeping."
Webb might have been well advised to read more of Jackson before using him for his own petty political purposes.
When your face is pulled that tight, it tends to make your eyes dry out too fast. In her case, the Visine drip hat getup would have been too obvious. The MSM would have had to explain the unexplainable. Better to just blink as often as necessary to avoid rapid bloodloss.
Care to share some of what yer smokin'?
Well, FWIW, we had a whole posse of Virginia freepers workin' their butts off to keep this jerk out of office.
But we faced a substantial group of FReepers who fought us at every turn praising Webb and condemning Allen because he wasn't their choice for the White House.
Webb will implode. Mark my words. His unraveling has already begun.
Not just idiotic clowns, very dangerous idiotic clowns that are going to cause a lot of innocent deaths, just as they did when they pulled us out of Viet Nam.
Huh? My domestic priorities are illegal immigration control and securing the border. The federal government should butt out of education and healthcare (except to make insurance premiums and school tuition fully tax dedductible).
Let me help you out, the Republican was the guy talking about "victory" the Democrat was the guy embracing defeat.
:) Hi Jveritas! Gosh am I proud of GW! A true hero, a brave man, a great leader and a firm steady POTUS to lead us onto victory. What a contrast with Jim Webb. Keep small boys from him, or he may want to................... :)
You find me ONE POST from a regular Virginia FReeper who said anything of the sort and I will personally send you fifty dollars.
And if you can't find it, you can kiss my clymer.
Yikes! they have Wesley Clark on to give his response..he agrees with Webb:( (Isn't that the guy Rush calls Ashley wilks?)
Jim Webb is competing with some other senior Bush Haters in the democrat party on the number one position of the "Premier Bush Hater". I hope that Virginians regret what they have done.
"Webb will implode. Mark my words. His unraveling has already begun."
LOL you got that right. The folks on military.com are pissed about Webbs comments about "most of the military" being against the was in Iraq.

I can't claim credit for that one.
I was resaying what someone else had posted just after Allen conceded. As was explained in the original post.
:) We can only hope.
