The month of September 2005 was a very busy month for President Bush after Katrina came on land at the Gulf coast and damaged the area. We see President Bush and First Lady Laura visiting New Orleans and other affected areas in Louisiana and Mississippi to comfort the victims of the hurricane and bring aid
The country lost Chief Justice William Renquist who passed away on September 3, 2005
President Bush nominated Judge Roberts to become the next Chief Supreme Court Justice. On September 29th Justice Roberts was sworn in as the 20th? Supreme Court Chief Justice.
President Bush remembered 9/11 heroes at a Medal of Valor ceremony. He also met with several foreign leaders and addressed the Useless Nations
For the quote of the month I have chosen President Bushs Remarks which he gave at the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance Service on September 16, 2005
But it's not enough.
Muslims don't really want freedom for women. They balk at giving citizens the right to pick their own religion. Freedom of speech? Maybe for themselves - but not for the person who might dare to draw an ‘offensive’ cartoon - or write a book about Mohammad that wasn't a gushy kiss-up.
Muslims seldom want freedom for all adults. Being free to make their own choices isn't part of who Muslims are. They're told when to pray and how to pray and where to face when praying. The men are told how to push their hair back - using these three fingers and not those... etc. etc. etc.
Islam was set up as a religious/political system. Two threads constantly reinforcing each other... very intertwined. There's not a lot of room for a democracy within their ways of thinking. Have you ever known a Muslim?
Yeah, I do, including an American imam. This space is in praise of an American hero, however, not for this conversation.

Just wonderful! Thank you, pattyvita
Dang, I was within a mile or two of The Ballpark yesterday. I was at Texas Roadhouse at Great SW Parkway and I-20 when the game was on TV, but I’d been closer earlier. Even closer the day before, close enough to see the Cowboy Stadium Dome.
Boy, do I ever miss “W”.
Since about January 21st 2009 as a matter of fact. :)
Very nice. Thank you.
I’m still stunned at this question - what made you ask?
Someone on Facebook said she was listening Rush when he was talking about the portait ceremony, Anyway, he said he wished that when they moved the curtain that there would have been one of those little cartoon bubbles that said "Miss Me
And what does whoever does his transcripts do? Take a look. LOL
