Heaven Will Pay Her. . .

I have her Hell to Pay and find it's the one source which nails Hillary's fat ass for her sealed Wellesley thesis, the paean to Saul Alinsky, radical counselling Tell Any Lie For Power--sound like the Hillary! we know and loathe?

I'm getting Final Days--it's on order--as a birthday gift.

The bright light which Barbara Olson has struck is like a magnesium flare in the stygian darkness of the Clintonian treachery--it cannot be extinguished.

HEAVEN WILL PAY BARBARA

HELL WILL PAY OSAMA

. . .yin and yang and the Holy Spirit passed a unanimous resolution. . .

I attended Barbara Olson's funeral Mass today. From earlier acquaintance, much less recent history, I knew what a remarkable woman she was, her vivacity, her dedication, her generosity. I went there in Army uniform, and here's why: Barbara K. Olson's soul met our Maker, literally, in the office of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (DCSPER). This, my friends, is the very place where the welfare, readiness, morale, and capability of our soldiers come home to roost. This is also where we in the Army family are contemplating the loss of 74 more souls, with so many others, in this tragedy. Among these concerns for the soldier, in the DCSPER, is the sacred integrety of the soldier's vote, that that freedom which is defended with blood is also excercised with honor. Recall, please, those engaged only 10 months ago in the vigorous defense of that honor. Among them are some lost in the DCSPER. Among them is Barbara Olson. Let us remember that she was our Advocate. She was our Friend, who died among friends. I salute her, and will miss her.

If anyone knows where I could get a copy of the speech the priest gave at Barbara's funeral, I would greatly appreciate it. She was my hero. It was the most amazing speech I have heard yet on the "whys" of this awful event happening. See you in heaven, Barbara.

Prayers for the Olsons and all of the victims of this unspeakable act of evil.

...As a Freeper Demonstrating on behalf of -Counting all the Military Votes- last November, I give you and yours our U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment's Salute of...

.."GARRY OWEN"

...DON'T dare LET THE CLINTONS GET AWAY WITH THIS ...since it was them, with their own friendly links to America's Enemies dating back to the Turbulent 1960's, that STOPPED our Protector CIA -from 1995 on- from hiring the Spies we so desparately needed to spy on their friends Communist China and all Terrorist States. That Act alone prevented us from having any idea what Evil Plans they had in store for US.

...DON'T YOU DARE...

...for The Enemy is now Within...

...The War has Come Home.

...4-SURE, 4-SURE.

I believe that the reason why Barbara was going onto that show on that day was to substitute for a woman, whose name I forget and who writes for World Net Daily, who had canceled her own appearance.

A very pretty Lady. Reminds me of my daughter. Rest in peace Barb...I sure enjoined your your straight forward commentaries on Fox.

I do not want to be disrespectful but Ted Olson looks a lot like Andy Warhol. He looks kind of wimpy to me, next to the high power Barb...

When my dad died two years ago, someone sent me a card (Hallmark) which had a wonderful message and I think it fits Barbara Olson too:

In the Name of Love...
A celebration of Homecoming

What a privilege it is
to come together
in the name of love
in the name of heaven and glory
and all that is good
to raise up this blessed spirit...
calling for all of God's angels
to take this fine soul home
to heavenly peace.
.

In deepest sympathy for your loss....
In celebration of heaven's gain.

I know that. But those leopards didn't change their stripes overnight - they didn't like anything Barbara stood for - and LK could have found ONE conservative who really appreciated her.

Some people come into our lives, and then leave quickly... She left FOOTPRINTS on our hearts, that will last forever!

Bush should honor her by naming Ted Olson as his first pick to the U.S. Supreme Court. The 'Rats wouldn't dare oppose him now.

God works in mysterious ways.

The best tribute we can give her is to continue the fight to expose the evil that infests our government and country. Let's give them hell, and never let up for Barbra and America.
