Patriotic Gestures

Falwell's worldview. Newt at the ready. Democrats in full retreat. Once more: Why stand by Bush? Plus much else.

(Page 4 of 10)

Bravo! Correct down to the last apostrophe. Mr. Tyrrell has it exactly right. I would add just one tiny footnote: After Ajima Pelosi returned from her heart to heart with Bashar Assad; she found she had no time to receive a briefing from General Petraeus, whom she considered small potatoes after her foray into high level foreign affairs.

p>I can't wait for Nana's next road trip to Tehran to dialogue with that great lover and respecter of womankind, President Ahmadinejad. (He'll probably demand that she wear the full burqa.) They will discuss the finer points of nuclear reactors and yellow cake. br> -- Judy Beumler br> Louisville, Kentucky /p>

Whenever I watch the Democrats I get so worked up that I get out on the ranch and burn a pile of brush! It is all I can do to cleanse their traitorous talk from my heart. If I get out and do real manual labor then I feel I can remember what is real...and it surely isn't talk from Washington, D.C.

I have a son at war for his 5th time. He is a pilot in harm's way and to listen to the Dems defeat would be to lose heart. When they talk about the American public not liking or wanting this war, it is all I can do to not yell back. Of course in a poll about the war we wouldn't vote for liking war. Does anyone not see the stupidity of the question? Not even us military types or the families that wait at home for them would vote for war. That doesn't mean we want to lose in a war where America and freedom are at stake.

I defy anyone to show me a poll, even from the war years of WWII that would have "liked" the war. It was necessary, as this war is, to keep terrorists from our shore, or the better thought is to kill them where they live. What I'd like to see is some parents who have lost children in this war to bring a lawsuit against these malingering Democrats for reckless endangerment. This daring our enemies to defeat us only endangers those who are on the front lines.

p>And finally....we have a great President. He may not possess the double-tongued propensity our last President did but we, whose families serve, trust this man. He is stalwart and persists in that which is true and right. And we, whose children fight, hold that close to our hearts. As my son wrote, "We who serve know the seriousness of the threat and know the sacrifice that may be made to keep America free." He added, "That, dear mother, is enough for me." br> -- Beverly Gunn br> Proud Mother of serving Pilot br> East Texas Rancher /p>
