Freedom is not something to be held close, but given to all.

Wait a minute....Ron Silver?

From the GOP convention website:

Ron Silver
I want to thank the President and the Republican Party for holding this event in my hometown, my father's hometown, my grandfather's and great grandfather's birthplace.Just over 1,000 days ago, 2,605 of my neighbors were murdered at the World Trade Center -- men, women and children -- as they began their day on a brilliantly clear New York autumn morning, less than four miles from where I am now standing. We will never forgive. Never forget. Never excuse!


At the end of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Allied Commander of the South Pacific, said: "It is my earnest hope - indeed the hope of all mankind - that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past, a world found upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice."The hope he expressed then remains relevant today.

We are again engaged in a war that will define the future of humankind. Responding to attacks on our soil, America has led a coalition of countries against extremists who want to destroy our way of life and our values.This is a war we did not seek.This is a war waged against us.This is a war to which we had to respond. History shows that we are not imperialists . . .but we are fighters for freedom and democracy.

Even though I am a well-recognized liberal on many issues confronting our society today, I find it ironic that many human rights advocates and outspoken members of my own entertainment community are often on the front lines to protest repression, for which I applaud them but they are usually the first ones to oppose any use of force to take care of these horrors that they catalogue repeatedly.Under the unwavering leadership of President Bush, the cause of freedom and democracy is being advanced by the courageous men and women serving in our Armed Services.The President is doing exactly the right thing.That is why we need this President at this time!I am grateful for the chance to speak tonight to express my support for our Commander-in-Chief, for our brave troops, and for the vital cause which they have undertaken.

General Dwight Eisenhower's statement of 60 years ago is true today . . ."United in this determination and with unshakable faith in the cause for which we fight, we will, with God's help, go forward to our greatest victory."


Wow. Powerful stuff. I don't remember the Kerrytistas even mentioning the war on terror. All we got to see was John F'n Kerry acting like a goof on the podium....

Koch backing Bush for re-election

Apparently, former NYC mayor Ed Koch is refusing to drink the Kerry Koolaid. He's backing Bush for re-election. In a piece in The Boston Globe, Koch outlines his reasoning for backing Bush,

"I've never before supported a Republican for president," Koch told me last week. "But I'm doing so this time because of the one issue that trumps everything else: international terrorism. In my judgment, the Democratic Party just doesn't have the stomach to stand up to the terrorists. But Bush is a fighter."

Koch was surprised and impressed by Bush's resolve after Sept. 11. "He announced the Bush Doctrine -- he said we would go after the terrorists and the countries that harbor them. And he's kept his word." Koch doubts that the leadership of his own party could have mustered the grit to topple the Taliban or drive Saddam Hussein from power, let alone to press on in what is going to be a long and grinding conflict.

"Already, most of the world is caving. If you didn't have Bush standing there, you'd have everybody following Spain and the Philippines" in retreat, he says, trying to appease the terrorists instead of fighting them.

Robert Dole

"Everybody likes quiet heroes, John, everybody knows you were in Vietnam and the less you say about it, the better."

That, my friends, is a quote from Robert Dole former Senator from Kansas, and the man who should have been President after the first four years of Bill Clinton.

Dole handed Kerry his political epitaph.

God bless Bob Dole.

It makes me sick that Kerry even thought that Dole would backtrack. As if everyone were as spineless as the botox boy.

Dole made Kerry look like the spineless coward he should have been exposed as 33 years ago.

Caught again in a LIE???? Not our John Kerry

What? John Kerry lied?????????NOOOOOOooooooooooo!

http://www.theunionleader.com/articles_showa.html?article=42514


SEN. JOHN Kerry visits Derry today to talk about health care. While on the subject, maybe he can explain why he is lying about a New Hampshire woman’s insurance status.
Repeatedly throughout his campaign, Kerry has held up Hudson resident Mary Ann Knowles as an example of President Bush’s failure to ensure adequate health care for all Americans (as if a President can do such a thing). Here is what he said during his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention last month:
“What does it mean when Mary Ann Knowles, a woman with breast cancer I met in New Hampshire, had to keep working day after day right through her chemotherapy, no matter how sick she felt, because she was terrified of losing her family’s health insurance? America can do better. And help is on the way.”
Thing is, Mary Ann Knowles did not have to work through her chemotherapy to keep her health insurance. In fact, she has great health insurance, which includes 26 weeks of paid disability leave.
Knowles chose to work through most, but not all, of her chemotherapy because her husband was out of a job. (Kerry said she had to work “every day” of her chemotherapy. His campaign chalked that lie up to “a colloquialism.”)
She and husband John did not want to take the pay cut that would have come with disability leave, so Mary Ann kept working. But that is not how Kerry tells the story. He deliberately misstates her situation, saying she would have lost her health coverage if she took a single day off.
When President Bush was given incorrect information, then innocently repeated it, the national press had a field day. In attacking the President, Michael Moore said it mattered not whether Bush knew the information was false before he repeated it; what mattered was that he uttered something that was not true. Well, here we have Kerry knowingly telling a false story in hopes of scaring people into voting for him. Where is the outrage?

Kerry says he won't tour Charley damage in Florida

NEDRA PICKLER--Associated Press


HOOD RIVER, Ore. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry does not plan to visit Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley because he's concerned his campaign entourage could distract from recovery efforts, he said Saturday.
President Bush plans a Sunday tour of areas hit by the hurricane. Bush declared a state of emergency at the request of his brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Kerry said he supports their efforts.
Kerry said he has instructed his Florida campaign staff to provide food, clothing, shelter or other assistance to people whose lives have been disrupted by the hurricane.
"For the moment, our focus is on all of the police and response personnel necessary not being diverted from a visitor and really focusing on the recovery itself," Kerry said.
"Teresa and I are really thinking about those folks and our prayers and our thoughts are with them in the next hours," he said. "And we hope very, very much that the recovery can proceed as rapidly as possible and lives can be put back together."



He doesn't want his campaign entourage to distract from recovery efforts? Sheesh, DON'T BRING THEM, YOU DUMBASS! You are right, though. The last thing Florida needs is your campaign entourage. So leave them at home. It's OK to do that you know...

This guy says exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time, and the press gives him a pass.
President Bush pronounces "nuclear" as "nucular" and the media whores rage. By the way, "nucular" is perfectly acceptable in polite Texas society. Don't give me any crap about Texans being hicks. It's called a dialect. Every region of this country has its own. Ask any Bostonian to say "yard, car, or bar."

Kerry won't defend the United States

A tough charge to prove, but our friends at Newsmax uncovered this little tidbit when Kerry was the Lt Governor of the Kennedy Mafia home base:

"Whereas the existing and potential strength of nuclear weapons is such that nuclear war can neither be won nor survived, it can only be prevented; and Whereas the only effective defense against the horrors of nuclear weapons lies in their elimination and in the prevention of nuclear war or attacks, [the Commonwealth of Massachusetts] shall seek to ensure the safety of its citizens by pursuit of policies reflecting a serious commitment to prevention of nuclear war."
"Such policies," the Kerry directive continued, "shall include education of citizens concerning the real nature of nuclear war and efforts to influence national policy towards negotiation of an end to the nuclear-arms race."
The Kerry order stated emphatically, however: "No funds shall be expended by the Commonwealth for crisis relocation planning for nuclear war."


But he fought in Vietnam, right? He's a war hero, right?

Teresa Heinz-Kerry, your husband is just like Dukakis.

My declaration

As you might have guessed from the last few entries (like anyone is reading????) I tend to be a little right of center. So it's probably no big surprise that I am throwing my support behind George W Bush for reelection this year. Maybe if the DemocRATs had bothered to send up Joe Lieberman (now that's a man with guts!), I would have been happy to look a little closer, but Kerry is just too much for me to take. He is an unprincipled man. He stands for nothing, and for everything all at once. Forget George's 7 minutes of inaction, John Kerry had 40 minutes of stunned stupid silence. This guy wants to be our President? Within minutes of Reagan getting shot, Al Haig declared himself to be "in control" of the White House. OK, so he didn't have "constitutional control," but he was the man in charge at that moment. Kerry votes against our troops, then has the gall to pronounce that "he voted for it before he voted against it.

Kerry married into money. Is this how he proposes we eliminate our budget deficit, by merging with Switzerland? Remember he did say he wanted the government run the same way as people in America run their households, right? OK, let's look at that for a second. Most folk in America DO run a deficit. It's called having a credit card. Or MORE than just "a" credit card. The average household in the US DOES run a deficit every month.

Think about it....

Fake beheading

Some moron in SanFrancisco, to get attention apparently, has made a faked beheading video. Presumably, this was a video of an American being beheaded in Iraq.

Why is it, whenever weird stuff goes on, it seems to come from San Francisco?

Oh, and in other news, Al-Stupid(oops, Al-Sadr) continues to lose faithful followers in his uprising against the legitimate Iraqi government, courtesy of the United States Armed Forces.

Unbelievable. untrained, poorly armed, AND stupid? What is this guy thinking? Maybe he thinks he can defeat us by making his followers die? Didn't Patton teach us anything?

"No son of a bitch ever won a war by dying for his country. He does it by making the other poor dumb son of a bitch die for HIS country." ---or something to that effect.....

Kerry criticizes Bush for inaction on 9/11

Before a gathering of journalists in Washington, DC today, John Kerry criticized President Bush for his actions on 9-11-01 following the attack on the World Trade Center. Kerry blasted Bush for not acting swiftly, and instead choosing to sit with children in a Florida classroom.
"Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whispered in my ear, 'America is under attack,' I would have told those kids very politely and nicely that the president of the United States had something that he needed to attend to -- and I would have attended to it."
(Like what, you moron?)

First, it's telling that Kerry is using Michael Moore's propaganda as a playbook in his campaign. This has a definite whiff of desperation about it.
Secondly, where exactly was John Kerry that morning when America was under attack, and what was he doing?
In an interview with Larry King on CNN, July 8, 2004, Sen. Kerry was asked where he was the morning of September 11th. Here is part of his response:
Kerry: "...And as I came in [to a meeting in Sen. Daschle's office], Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon..."


It should be noted that the second plane hit the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m., and the plane hit the Pentagon at 9:43 a.m. By Kerry's own words, he and his fellow senators sat there for forty minutes, realizing "nobody could think."



I lifted this from this blog and I wonder just what Kerry would have done in those 7 minutes, when apparently he was sitting on his hands for the better part of an hour.

Somebody please get this to a real news outlet.

Al-Sadr *needs* to become "al-Toast"

I hear Al-Sadr over in Iraq wants to make nice nice with us after losing another big fight.

Time to not make nice nice with him.

Take him out guys. Don't worry about what the rest of the world thinks. They'll hate you no matter what you do.

Just take him out. We'll all feel better for the troops that way, and it might make the other mullahs think twice about screwing with us.

Kerry is completely and utterly MAD!!!!!

In an interesting policy move, DemocRATic Presidential nominee John F'n Kerry has decided that it would be a GOOD thing to provide the Islamofascists of Iran with nuclear fuel. Don't believe me, here's the link and a small quote from MSNBC's website:

John Kerry regards an Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism armed with nuclear weapons as unacceptable. He has a multiple-part strategy that is much more realistic than the Bush administration's. One is to rejoin and work through the international legal framework on arms control. That will give greater force to the major powers if they have to deal with violators. Secondly, he has laid out, I think in the most comprehensive way in modern memory, a program to secure nuclear materials around the world—particularly in the former Soviet Union but also in the places where research reactors have existed that could be susceptible to proliferation. The point is to try to prevent Iran from ever getting this material surreptitiously. Thirdly, he has proposed that rather than letting the British, the French and the Germans do this themselves, that we together call the bluff of the Iranian government, which claims that its only need is energy. And we say to them: "Fine, we will provide you the fuel that you need if Russia fails to provide it." Participating in such a diplomatic initiative makes it more likely to succeed.

This Kerry guy is dangerous!

What? but I had my convention! I'm supposed to be winning!!!!!

Published on the Little Green Footballs website. I gotta laugh. Kerry gets no bounce from his own conventions. I laughed out loud at his "I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for duty" statement at the convetntion. Article was first found here.

Can't wait to see John Kerry choke on his own hatred of America.
