Some of this seems to be a stretch, but the (1) U.S. Flag pin and (2) “Reverend” Wright issues are interesting. Watch here. God Bless America. Can’t believe anyone calling himself a pastor would say what he says from the pulpit. And as an added bonus, Ted’s Kennedy’s blunder is hilarious.
Once again Al Dale shows readers of The Times that (1) he can’t think and (2) that he can’t write. No doubt Al is a Jimmy Carterlover. No doubt he hates the American soldier just as much as all elite liberals do (like Hillary and Obama). He personally attacks Ted Oglesby implying that Ted’s comments are denigrating. Does he know that Ted is a retired Air Force Colonel? What service did Al serve in? Al and his buddies would argue even a single American death is enough to shut down the entire war effort. Why? Is it because they care deeply about our soldiers and are traumatized and stunned by the personal loss of their family? No way! They only want the MONEY from defense to spend on their pet projects (e.g. someone urinating on a Cross as “art”). As a veteran myself, I know the ONLY difference between me, Ted, and that fallen soldier is luck and timing. Ted and I care about those soldiers and their families. But we know that those brave men and women are fighting for something worth more than themselves–freedom. Something worth more than 1,000,000 Al Dales and something that has cost more than 1,000,000 guys better than him.
In The Times on Saturday, May 3, 2008 (p5A) Robin Harbin tries to re-write history when it comes to Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter is an embarrassment to Georgia and the U.S.–more now than when he was president. You can draw a direct line from Jimmy to 9-11. Bet she did not read that in his library. Twisting your friends’ arms to make a deal with the Devil is hardly laudatory no matter what you call it. When you have only one friend in the world you don’t throw them under the bus. Does the name Manuel Noriega mean anything to her either? He owed his dictatorship franchise to Jimmy. Manuel didn’t use furry kittens on his opponents. Georgia will have to wait at least another generation to regain any political credibility for the White House. If Jimmy got what he deserved it would not be in a library, nor in Plains, it would be somewhere dark and foreboding, where the victims of his pacifism where tortured and died.
We all want peace and freedom. However sometimes you have to prioritize. If you want peace more, you lay down and give up your freedom. That was Jimmy’s philosophy. If you want freedom more, you fight for it. That is what true Americans do. That is what we have always done. That is what we will do despite Jimmy and his ilk. Count on it!
Even Jimmy realized his folly when he authorized nukes in Europe at the end of his tenure. He then has since forgotten.
Thanks goodness Jane Browder’s letter is on the same page. As usual, Jane brings sanity back into the Debate. Unfortunately Jane’s letter is not available on The Times (online) , otherwise I would provide a link here.
