" All of the 12 items you have listed will be fruitless if illegal immigration is not curbed - this will be the destruction of our country if Bush (who I otherwise support) does not stop pandering to the Hispanics. "

Couldn't agree more.

Hey, I like sarcasm as much as anyone, but for sarcasm to be effective it has to be based on at least some reality.

BTW, your #2, the anti-personnel mine thing. That's a pretty good idea. There might be some hope for you yet.

I have to admit, this whole "I'm a conservative, but I'm just rational" thing you do here is genius. But do you discuss this with the guys at DU, or was it your own idea?

[Southack]

"You know, George Walker Bush reminds me of the guy who was given CinCPAC Operational Plan 29-42."

Given it or authored it?

Bush is not only authoring our new Midway victory plan, but he's also leading our charge.

[hchutch]

The person I had in mind was the man that Samuel Eliot Morison (among others) have called the "victor at Midway." He was the one given the orders.

Club for Growth was most helpful in CongressCritter-elect King's campaign. For that I am grateful.

I'll be in touch.

How about Condi, to round out the group.

I was keeping it to THREE....but certainly Condi deserves it as well!

CinCPAC OPLAN 29-42 was an operational order given to Rear Admiral Raymond Spruance in late May of 1942. The mission assigned in OPLAN 29-42 was to contest the upcoming Japanese effort to capture Midway atoll.

OPLAN 29-42 directed Fletcher and Spruance to avoid placing themselves between the enemy and Midway, and instead "inflict maximum damage on enemy by employing strong attrition tactics."

In a separate letter, Nimitz continued: "You will be governed by the principle of calculated risk, which you shall interpret to mean the avoidance of exposure of your force to attack by superior enemy forces without good prospect of inflicting inflicting, as a result of such exposure, greater damage on the enemy."

Spruance proceeded to position his forces to the northwest of the Japanese force's likely axis of approach to Midway, at a position codenamed "Point Luck." He ignored a diversion in the Aleutian Islands, and had scout planes on Midway locate the Japanese carrier force, allowing his own force to maintain a covert posture and not fritter away combat power on scouting tasks.

The result of Spruance's quiet decisiveness was the destruction of four Japanese carriers in return for the loss of one American carrier. Along with the four carriers went much of Japan's best-trained aviators. In one short battle, the correlation of forces had swung decisively against the Japanese.

I think one of the most important things Bush did, not on your list, was in THREE executive orders, he SAVED MORE BABIES than all the protestors that ever marched and all the Randall Terrys that ever served jail time.

One ex. o. denied funding to foreign nations through UN money if it was used for abortions.

Another ended abortions on military bases.

A third, the parental consent, was part of a medical privacy ex. o. that Bush reversed from the Clinton years.

There was also a fourth, but I forget its exact details. At any rate, these measures---all done VERY quietly---ended more abortions than Reagan did in 8 years of wonderful rhetoric. I love Reagan, but Bush has been the most pro-life president, ever.

"the election of Nancy Pelosi...is likely to be lethal to the DIMocRATS for the next 20 years or so..."

That's just part of the reason I'm ON-RECORD predicting that the RATS will achieve third-party status by the end of this decade...MUD

So, in short, we are saying that decisiveness is GOOD and hutch is saying that Dubyuh is decisive...right?! Poohbah, do YOU think Dubyuh is decisive?!

Yup. He knows what he wants to do, and gets it done with a minimum of fanfare, as opposed to Clinton's way of doing nothing significant with a maximum of fanfare.

I'll settle for slow, steady progress over self-promoting BS any day of the week.
