"Surely God might be saying,
"It's about time?!"

Those of us who watch and wait take heart, processing all these events.
May our eyes and hearts be focused upon Him and our prayers reach His ears as a sweet sound!
Thanks, Phil...

Sorry...you lost me somewhere along the line. If you're saying it's ME, then I'm in good company...Bob Barr, Ron Paul, and the Wall Street Journal. And you?

Seig Heil! More technology to China.

Yeah. As I recall, this guy was doing plenty of saluting too.

This shows the advantage of having a President who has had basic training and military experience.

Episodes like this always remind me of the famous disgusting photo of the Clintonistas walking off the golf course to get onto the President's helicopter and the Marine standing there essentially saluting a golf bag. (Think any of those Clinton clowns would ever return a salute, lol?)
Things have definitely changed for the (far) better.

Semper fidelis,

How well I do remember what I was doing a year ago today! (Standing out in the Freezing Rain on Hillsborough Street again in Downtown Raleigh - helping in the anti-Goron STOP THE ELECTION FRAUD attempt!)

What a difference a year makes!

Yes, what a difference a year makes! Last year the weekend before Thanksgiving, I was up and at 'em against Gorons and their election heist attempt! I saw a post on FR about rally's all over the country, and got the scoop on the rally in Jacksonville on Saturday Nov 18th. A week before was My first FReep at the Veterans' Day parade in downtown Jacksonville. It was envigorating on Veterans Day so I knew I had to make the upcoming rally!

As I arrived at the designated site, the FREEDOM FOUNTAIN at Friendship Park, across the beautiful St John's river from the Jacksonville Landing, I was alone except for my 70 year old neighbor, who arrived shortly after me. I asked people when they arrived if they knew the organizer, and no one seemed to know who he was or better yet, WHERE he was!

So, I relied on my Marine Corps training and TOOK CHARGE! Soon we had about 40 patriots there armed with Bush/Cheney signs, American flags and poster board signs calling Gore a theif! We assembled and marched to and fro as the TV cameras taped it all. A still photographer kept snapping pictures as we marched along chanting "Stop the recount - Gore is a thief!" He asked my name when we finished and I thought nothing of it, as they had done the same thing a week before and nothing was in the paper.

The next morning, I went out to get newspaper from the driveway and as I tossed it on the patio table I could not beleive my eyes - there on the front page, above the fold was this HUGE picture of our rally / protest demonstration!

I was astounded! Then I found the same picture in the on-line version of the Florda Times-Union and asked another FReeper for help to get it posted. Before long, FReeper Fred Mertz FReep mailed me and said that same picture was on his newspaper in Fort Knox, Kentucky! I would later find out the picture was published all over the country!

I am really pleased that the country stood it's ground and now George W. Bush is the Commander-In-Chief!! (I can't even envision Al Gore leading the country after the attacks - we would all be speaking Arabic by now!!)

So, a year later, after our country was attacked by some really dumb terrorists, we are in much better shape as a nation united and 100% behind our president and our military - Let's roll!!

Semper Fidelis,
Norb

Dear Norb...Thank God we did what we could here in Florida to help GWB overcome the socialist-democrat's attempt to steal the election.

Best FReegards....Mustang sends.

And I'll bet that voice you trained in boot camp could be heard all over Jacksonville!

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU, GIRLS !"

We did the same thing in Houston in a freezing rain.
It was a bad hair day for me so I wouldn't let 'em take my picture.

Isn't this a contrast to Dirtbag Bill and his sloppy salutes?

You're right. I found out it was a military courtesy they didn't show clinton. After the salute, the marine turns to face the back of the CIC so he will be facing him if and when the CIC turns to talk to the marine. I heard that was a slap in clinton's face but he probably didn't know it was a slap. I guess the Marines didn't want to hear what clinton had to say or on second thought they already did.

We had great demonstrations a year ago at the Federal building in Los Angeles. We sang some mocking songs and had some great chants. Doughty One let me man the bullhorn for a considrable period of time. The one I remember most is --- Algore, we are really mad.....you can kiss our dimpled chad.

Well, I don't know what else I can add to what PeaceBeWithYou said in his post #316.
Except maybe that when you say. . .
Y'know, he is a SOCIALIST. But he's a good guy. Seriously.
. . .about President Bush, then what the he** do you expect?

And then your response:

You idiots crack me up. I woke up this morning wondering what country I was in.
Huh? Funny, when you responded to this article saying Bush is a Socialist, my first thought was
What color is the sky on your planet?

No, doubt you wonder what country you are in. . .

Sorry for my delay in replying, but my AT&T Broadband service was interrupted due to the Excite@home bankruptcy. I'm doing all this from my work computer today. . .

Relating to your post...

In BKO's book, "THE FINAL DAYS", chapter three, "A vietman memorial", page 29, paragraph two and three...
" 'Clinton's military salute [was hard] to fix,' recalled George Stephanopolous. 'Sheepish at first, he seemed to be working out his internal conflicts every time he tentantively raised his hand. The tops of his finger would furtively touch his slightly bowed head, as if he were being caught at something he wasn't supposed to do.' (bibliographical note; Stephanopolous, All Too Human)
Some even noticed that when Clinton was president, marine guards failed to execute a right face to stand facing his back as he walked away. The marines somehow relearned this maneuver on January 20, 2001, when the new commander-in-chief, President George W. Bush, took office."

This President has class and respect from our soldiers and it's great to see!

If respect isn't mutual it's lopsided. That sums up x-42's relationship with the military. It was lopsided.

"If respect isn't mutual it's lopsided"

...and if it isn't mutual, it isn't respectful.

There was no give and take with x-42. All he ever did was take. As such, he received modest respect of the office but nothing more. It all comes back to my favorite Bushism "Help is On the Way". I believe the military was collectively awaiting a worthy commander-in-chief.

I believe Dubya's ratings are high partly because he is scandal free, it's not just about the war. You'll never hear this revelation on the alphabet networks.

Remember the incident when Chelsea descended the Air Force One ramp and, while waiting for her parents, chatted with the Marine at the bottom of the steps? When Hillary saw her talking with the Marine, Hillary chewed out her daughter, in front of the Marine, for talking with "a commoner". Also, remember when Hillary wanted no Marines inside the White House? W is a BIG change.
