"Cops and firemen. Once patronized, now poster boys, and rightly so. They're exemplars of courage and sacrifice, especially the firemen. What they did at the towers last September was like what was done at Omaha Beach on D-Day: They raced to fight a battle and proved we'd win a war."

Damned if that lady can't turn a phrase..."They raced to fight a battle and proved we'd win the War!!

If that don't tug at the heartstrings, well, you ain't human...MUD

Thanks Pokey,

When Peggy mentioned "bloggers"...no doubt this forum counts amoung the giants. There are people here who through their ideas, their time and their ambition, have helped change the political cultural climate.

Make no mistake, if FREE REPUBLIC were an ineffective bunch of "Reich Wing Nut Cases" (as it is portrayed by its enemies), then the enemy would not strike and attack it so. It is an truism of conflict that you bypass that which does not matter towards your objective.

FREE REPUBLIC matters. The left hates that, the mainstream media hates it, and the DNC hates it.

Happy 4th.

Peggy............marry me! And God Bless You!!!! The happiness and beauty of the Ranch is always in my senses, so philosophic thought is not always neccessary.

Peggy, have a great 4th! Thom at The Ranch
