Signs of National Health

AN AMERICAN TREASURE
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Rainey Day Reflections:

A very well thought out reflection. Since Justice Thomas's first day on the national scene I have been amazed at the nature and vituperation of what liberals and the black civil rights establishment say about him.

My friend and colleague Frank Mankiewicz, a old-fashioned liberal, who is otherwise a real gentleman, truly believes that Justice Thomas is one of the most evil men in America!

All of Justice Thomas' works, whether written or spoken, have been impressive in their thoughtfulness and humanity. More than being a superb jurist, his is a voice to be listened to on all matters affecting our society and the way we live.

I clearly remember, right after being graduated from high school, the horror of the Mississippi murders. I remember Rainey, his cheek bulging with chaw, smirking about the murders. Yet he and The Reverend Jackson and others of his ilk, share, as you point out, a frightful symmetry in that they both believe that blacks must know their place.

I enjoy the Prowler. Keep up the good work.
-- Jeff Raleigh

I thought the column was well written until the personal attack on Jesse Jackson. Just as I believe it was wrong for Belafonte to attack Powell on his politics, I believe it is wrong for you to do the same to Jackson. I thought that the age of the "politics of personal destruction" were over?

Read my Poem and be sure to share it with Jesse and Colin, may help you all:

What is black?
A way of life
Do certain things
Raise children our way?
Which way,
The old way,
The new? ...

What is Black?
Is it Jamaican
Is it Haitian
Cuban,
American ,
Italian
Is it African?
Is it Democrat
Republican
Is it separatist
Federalist
Is it communist
Is it everything
Is it nothing
Is it just a skin color?

With Best Regards,
-- Garfield Jones

MILITARY HOUSE-CLEANING
Re: Jed Babbin's Post-Election SGO:

Once again, Mr. Babbin has penned a spot-on evaluation of the changes the Administration needs to apply to our military with his essay, "Post-Election SGO." His insights and recommendations reinforce the desires of many of us that our military remains not only the finest the world has ever seen, but rises to new levels of greatness. Indeed, let's not only get rid of the rust, but hone the point of the spear to even greater sharpness. Faster, please.
-- Lee D. Lowrey

Mr. Babbin writes: "The approved war plan apparently takes the best of the fast air and spec ops-dominated plan many -- including yours truly -- have been advocating, and follows those forces with the massed ground forces that Tommy Franks wants."

What I find interesting is that this war plan has been not only developed, but is being carried out as we speak. One doesn't need to spend too much time on the Internet to find stories of massive shipments of equipment and restructuring of personnel.
