The massacre at Virginia Tech on Tuesday was horrible. Words fail me in trying to describe just how horrible it was, but when I first heard about it I didn't feel horror, anger, or even sadness. Instead, what came to my mind was something that I'd thought about many times before, something that seems a little crazy but just might have a grain of rationality to it; I thought: conspriracy.
What do I mean by "conspriracy"? Well, I asked myself, who benefits from this tragedy? Who benefits every time some devil in human form goes on a shooting rampage? Liberals, that's who. The only people who gain anything from horrors like the one at Virginia Tech are liberals who want a TOTAL ban on the private ownership of firearms.
This isn't a new idea for me. As I said above, I've had this idea in my mind for a long time. I thought about it when Columbine and other school shootings occurred in the '90's. I thought about it when the Long Island train killer slaughtered helpless passengers in the '80's. I thought about it when a nut job massacred diners in a Luby's restaurtant in Killeen, TX. I thought about it when another nut job shot down innocent customers at a MacDonald's in San Ysidro, CA. And most recently, I thought about it when that monster murdered those sweet Amish school girls in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania. Every time a shooting happened I thought, liberals are loving this.
The left-wing gun grabbers know they can't win over the American people by openly declaring their intentions. Instead, they have to rely on a scared, angry, emotionally vulnerable public to
support their "sensible" gun restrictions. And what better way to make the public scared, angry, and emotionally vulnerable than by staging mass shootings at regular intervals? I know that sounds far-fetched, to say the least, but again I ask, who benefits from these killings?
Am I saying that left-wing activists commit these shootings or recruit others to do so? Not exactly, but I'm not not saying that, either. I just know these "random" acts of violence are quite handy for advancing one of liberals' favorite causes. And I know it's very convenient that the shooters almost always end up dead before the police can question them. If the killers were fanatical, gun-hating, liberal activists convinced that shooting dozens of innocent people served a greater good, or just violent criminals recruited by said activists, making sure they ended up dead would make it pretty hard to connect the dots, wouldn't it? Add to that a liberal, anti-gun media that wouldn't even begin to ask such questions, and you've got the perfect storm of a conspiracy.
So if anther "depressed loner" or "scorned lover" opens fire on innocent Americans, stop and think. The crime might not be what it seems. But don't expect the powers that be to tell you that. They've got too much to gain from people dying in the streets.

Get Tammy Bruce on "The View" NOW!!!
I'm sick of Tokyo Rosie. Like all true American patriots, I'm appalled at the vicious and psychotic anti-Bush, anti-British, and anti-American rants that have poured from her mouth the last several weeks. That woman--I use the term loosely--is the epitome of a fifth columnist, the traitor that works for the enemy from within, sabotaging his/her nation's ability and/or willingness to defend itself so victory will go to its foes.
Rosie O'Donnell--did I spell her last name right? Hell, I don't care!--shouldn't be silenced, of course, no matter how dangerous and hateful she is. No, what Rosie needs is to go head to head with a real patriot, an American who believes that America (and all of Western civilization) is worth defending and who understands that today's true evil is in radical Islam, not George W. Bush.
Some people have suggested that Ann Coulter should go on "The View" to counter Tokyo Rosie. I understand that, but I think that a better opponent for ABC's resident terrorist sympathizer is author and radio talk show host Tammy Bruce.
Why Bruce? Because Bruce is a liberal. Like Rosie she is a pro-choice, feminist lesbian who disagrees with many of President Bush's ideas. Unlike Rosie, Tammy Bruce loves her country and hates its enemies. She is a thowback to the completely forgotten tradition of patriotic, pro-American liberalism. Bruce could tackle Rosie without anyone accusing her of being a hate-mongering conservative. If Coulter went on "The View" everything she said would be dismissed as the ravings of a mad Republican. Not so with Bruce; she has the credibility that Coulter doesn't have.
So I think all true patriots should contact ABC and demand that Tammy Bruce be booked on "The View" for one week. Let a real American give Ms. O'Donnell something she currently doesn't have: a real challenger.

The Demon Cancer
I was totally saddened when I heard on the news that Elizabeth Edwards, wife of presidential candidate John Edwards, and White House press secretary Tony Snow both have suffered recurrences of their cancer.
I'd actually been wondering how Elizabeth Edwards was doing. I figured she was doing fine since her husband had decided to run for president again. Boy, was I wrong. And I was wrong about Tony Snow, too. He seemed the picture of health. I remember Mr. Snow proudly proclaiming himself cancer free when he was first chosen to be White House press secretary, and now we find out that not only has his cancer returned, it's spread to his liver. Ms. Edwards' cancer has spread also, to her bones.
I don't care what Ms. Edwards' or Mr. Snow's political, religious, or social beliefs are. My heart goes out to both of them and their families. I've seen two beloved family members die painful deaths because of this demon called cancer and I feel that you can't have anything but sympathy for anyone stricken with this killer. Elizabeth Edwards and Tony Snow are in my prayers. Please put aside your partisan differences and put them in yours, too.

Don't Close Your Blinds
This was e-mailed to me by a friend. I'm sharing it with my readers because it gets to the heart of why we are at war in Iraq. Read and learn.
WAKE UP AMERICA!
Don't Close Your Blinds
The other day, my nine-year-old son wanted to know why we were at war. My husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband and I were both in teh Army during the Gulf War and we would be honored to serve and defend our Country again today. I knew that my husband would give him a good explanation.
My husband thought for a few minutes and then told my son to go stand in our front living room window. He said, "son, stand there and tell me what you see."
"I see trees and care and our neighbor's houses," he replied.
"OK. Now I want you to pretend that our house and yard is the United States of America and you're President Bush." Our son giggled and said, "OK."
"Now, son, I want you to look out the window and pretend that every house and yard on this block is a different country," my husband said. "OK Dad, I'm pretending."
"Now I want you to stand there and look out the window and pretend you see Saddam come out ot his house with his wife. He has her by the hair and is hitting her. You see her bleeding and crying. He hits her in the face, throws her on theground, then starts kicking her to death. Their children run out and are afraid to stop him; they are screaming and crying. They are watching this but do nothing because they're kids and they're afraid of their father. You see all of this. Son, what do you do?"
"Dad?"
"What do you do, son?"
"I'd call the police, Dad."
"OK. Pretend that the police are the United Nations. They take your call. They listen to what you know and saw but they refuse to help. What do you do then, son?"
"Dad.....but the police are supposed to help!" My son starts to whine.
"They don't want to, son, because they say that it's not their place or your place to get involved and that you should stay out of it," my husband says.
"But Dad....he killed her!" my son exclaims.
"I know he did, but the police tell you to stay out of it. Now I want you to look out that window and pretend you see our neighbor who you're pretending is Saddam turn around and do the same thing to his children."
"And Daddy...did he kill them, too?"
"Yes, son, he did. What do you do?"
"Well, if the police don't want to help, I will go and ask my next door neighbor to help me stop him," our son says.
"Son, our next door neighbor sees what is happening and refuses to get involved as well. He refuses to open the door and help you stop him," my husband says.
"But Dad, I NEED help!!! I can't stop him by myself!!"
"WHAT DO YOU DO, SON?"
Our son starts to cry.
"OK, no one wants to help you. The man across the street saw you ask for help and saw that no one would help you stop him. He stands taller and puffs out his chest. Guess what he does next, son?"
"What, Daddy?"
"He walks across the street to the old lady's house and breaks down her door and drags her out, steals all of her stuff and sets her house on fire and then...he kills her. He turns around and sees you standing in tehwindow and laughs at you. WHAT DO YOU DO NOW, SON?"
"Daddy...."
"WHAT DO YOU DO?"
Our son is crying. He looks down and whispers, "I'd close the blinds, Daddy."
My husband looks at our son with tears in his eyes and asks him, "Why?"
"Because Daddy...the police are supposed to help people who need them and they won't help. You always say that neaighbors are supposed to HELP neighbors, but they won't help either. They won't help me stop him. I'm afraid. I can't do it by myself, Daddy. I can't look out my window and just watch him do all these terrible things and do nothing so...I'm just going to close the blinds so I can't see what he's doing and I'm going to pretend that it's not happening."
That's when I started to cry.
My husband looks at our nine-year-old son standing in the window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to his Daddy's questions and he says, "Son."
"Yes, Daddy."
"Open the blinds because that man is at your front door. WHAT DO YOU DO?"
My son looks at his father, anger and defiance in his eye. He balls up his tiny fists andlooks his father square in eyes and without hesitation says, "I DEFEND MY FAMILY, DAD!! I'M NOT GONNA LET HIM HURT MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD!! I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM, DAD!! I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM!!!!"
I see a tear roll down my husband's cheek. He grabs our son and, hugging him tightly to his chest, says, "I'ts too late to fight him, son. He's too strong and he's alread at YOUR front door. You should have stopped him BEFORE he killed his wife, his children, and the old lady across the street. You have to do what's right, son, before it's too late, even if you have to do it alone," my husband whispers. "Son, the scenario I just gave you is why we are at war with Iraq. When good men stand by and let evil happen, THAT is the greatest atrocity in the world. YOU MUST NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!"
BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!! BE PROUD OF OUR TROOPS!! SUPPORT THEM!! SUPPORT AMERIC SO THAT IN THE FUTURE OUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR BLINDS!!
This should be printed in every newspaper and posted in every school in America. Of course, that won't happen so let's fly this over the Internet for the whole word to understand why we fight for freedom!
If your blinds are closed do nothing with this e-mail. If they are open I do not need to tell you what to do.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Hail Us Now Our Great Defenders!
"Hail Us Now Our Great Defenders!"
(sung to Beethoven's "Ode to Joy")
By PoorGrrl
Hail us now our great Defenders!
Soldiers bold and soldiers strong!
Fighting with a fearsome splendor
'gainst the foes of Freedom's song!
Gun and tank and bomb and rifle
evil enemies do slay,
in the hands of our brave warriors
pledged to keep us free and safe.
Hail us now our great Defenders!
Guarding Freedom's Home with steel,
like the Lord of Hosts above us
saving with His righteous shield!
Strength and courage are their armor
and them both they proudly wear.
Knowing well the holy nature
of the Cause they chose to bear.
Hail us now our great Defenders!
Like the Spartans, we admire!
Standing firm and never falt'ring
'fore the awesome Gates of Fire!
Long and hard, with grit they struggle
for our precious Land to save.
We, their sons in spirit honor
those who fullest measure gave.
This song popped into my head yesterday while I was playing classical music for my babies' nap time. Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" was on and almost instantly the above tribute to our troops emerged in my mind. I know it sounds quite martial, but it's an ode to our fighting men and women, not to Jane Fonda and her crowd. Let me know what you think of it. I may write other songs for America inspired by my favorite music, classical and otherwise.
Thanks,
PoorGrrl

Stupid Word Games
Hey America, there's a new dirty word in our version of the English language and you better learn it fast before you use it on someone and then get walloped by the pc language police. The word is "articulate". Horrors!
Actually, articulate is bad only if you use it on a Black American. You see, calling Blacks articulate is condescending according to Black critics of Sen. Joe Biden and President Bush, who both described Sen. Barack Obama with the offensive word. Biden actually went one better than Bush and called Obama clean as well as articulate. The racist fiend! Gee, I would never have guessed that saying someone is clean and a good speaker, which is what "articulate" essentially means, was such a horrible thing. I guess I must not be Black enough to get it.
So here's what Bush, Biden and other Whites should say about Obama (and other prominent Blacks) in order to stay out of trouble: "Barack Obama is a dumb, dirty, ugly, thuggish, drug using, liberal, jungle bunny." There, "articulate" is no where in sight. Happy now?

Fuhrer Chavez
Here's one for all those loony leftists who've spent the last six years trying to make a tyrant out of Bush.
A couple of days ago Venezuelan leader and liberal darling Hugo Chavez was granted the power to rule by decree by the Venezuelan legislature which is stacked with Chavez's friends and cronies. To those who don't know, rule by decree means that Chavez can make any law he wants, no questions asked. Who's acting like Hitler now, Jay Bennish?
Of course, Bennish, Cindy Sheehan, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte and all the rest of the Hugo-worshiping, Bush-hating cabal won't make a fuss about this turn of events. In fact, I'm sure they'll be on the tv soon offering all kinds of Orwellian rationales for Chavez's dictatorial power grab. What they'll most likely point out the most is that Chavez's rule by decree is only supposed to last 18 months. But if Fuhrer Chavez can make any law he wants, why not make one giving himself emergency powers indefinitely? That's the way tryants operate.
What tyrants don't do is allow the opposition party to win control of the legislature. And tyrants don't allow their citizens to criticize their policies. And tyrants don't allow anti-government newspapers to publish. And tyrants don't allow opposition bloggers to operate freely. And tyrants don't allow their people to travel abroad, criticize them, then return home with no fear of arrest, or worse. Tyrants don't do any of those things. All of these things are going on under President Bush as I write, yet Bush is "the world's greatest tyrant", according to Belafonte.
A part of me hopes that Chavez will crack down murderously on his people. No, I don't want to see Venezeulans suffer, but I fear that that will be the only thing that'll shake the loony leftists out of their Chavez-adoring stupor and bring them back to reality. On the other hand, other tyrants like Castro, Ho Chi Minh, Che, and Stalin remained--and still remain-- gods to the left in spite of the blood dripping from their hands. Obviously, "tyrant" means something very different to leftist ideologues than it does to normal people. So I guess we'd better get used to the cries of "Heil Hugo!" that will soon be echoing on the streets of Venezuela and San Francisco.
And that's sad.

Message to Mac
Hey Mac! I just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive and kicking! :) My computer snafu is starting to work itself out but I'm still going to get my laptop because I just can't rely on the library's computer consistently. Sometimes I can't log on because I have an overdue item and sometimes I just don't have enough time to get to the library. Anyway, I thought I'd let you know that I'm still here. Keep stopping by; soon I'll be back with a vengence!

Merry Christmas...and Computer Snafus!
Hey everybody! I just wanted to wish all my readers a very merry Christmas and a wonderfully blessed New Year. Also, I've been having some real problems getting on the library's computer lately, so I've been posting even more irregularly than usual. I apologize.
I've had it with using the library computer! Come the new year I'm going to bite the bullet and get me a laptop and wireless internet service. It'll cost some money I know, but being able to post on my blogs--and surf the net--when I want to will be worth it. You'll know when I get my laptop--I'll be posting everyday!!!!
Again, I wish everyone a VERY merry Christmas and a joyous New Year!
Love,
PoorGrrl

Under Assault Again
Western culture is under assault again. The latest attack on our culture came over the weekend when the Seattle airport removed all of its 14 Christmas trees rather than also put up a menorah to recognize Hannukah, as asked by a rabbi. Airport officials claimed that they removed the Christmas trees because they feared that if they put up a menorah other religious groups would ask that their symbols be displayed, too. Rather than having the courage to stand for Western culture and its Judeo-Christian religious heritage, the officials caved in to anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-semitic multiculturalism.
If the airport officials in Seattle had decided to display other religions' symbols in addition to those of Christianity and Judaism, that would've been fine. However, if the officials had decided to NOT display other religions' symbols while keeping the Christmas trees and the menorah, that would've been fine, too. The problem is that in our politically correct, multiculturalist world very few people would understand why. Here's why.
Christianity is the religious heritage of Western civilization, including America. Hindus didn't build Western civilization. Bhuddists didn't build Western civilization. Muslims didn't build Western civilization. Christians built Western civilization. The display of Christmas trees at Christmas time is, therefore, totally appropriate. The display of menorahs is also appropriate because Judaism gave us Christianity and helped to build the West in an indirect way. Putting up symbols of Christianity and Judaism for all to see is not only a show of holiday spirit but also a celebration of Western culture. There's no need to celebrate religions that had nothing to do with creating that culture.
Yes, we have freedom of religion in America and all other Western countries. But freedom of religion doesn't require that we Westerners deny or disown our own heritage. In Western lands non-Christians and non-Jews have absolute religious freedom; they should just understand that their faiths had nothing to do with building the civilization in which they now live. So when they see us Westerners celebrating our religious heritage in our own countries, while not celebrating theirs, they have no right to be offended. After all, they're in the West. And that's not politically correct, but it's the plain truth.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah!
If the airport officials in Seattle had decided to display other religions' symbols in addition to those of Christianity and Judaism, that would've been fine. However, if the officials had decided to NOT display other religions' symbols while keeping the Christmas trees and the menorah, that would've been fine, too. The problem is that in our politically correct, multiculturalist world very few people would understand why. Here's why.
Christianity is the religious heritage of Western civilization, including America. Hindus didn't build Western civilization. Bhuddists didn't build Western civilization. Muslims didn't build Western civilization. Christians built Western civilization. The display of Christmas trees at Christmas time is, therefore, totally appropriate. The display of menorahs is also appropriate because Judaism gave us Christianity and helped to build the West in an indirect way. Putting up symbols of Christianity and Judaism for all to see is not only a show of holiday spirit but also a celebration of Western culture. There's no need to celebrate religions that had nothing to do with creating that culture.

Thanks, Mac!
Hey McCommas! I just wanted to say "Thank you!" for the encouraging words you wrote in your comments to my "The Election" post. You're right, losing an election isn't the end of the world and may even be a good thing if we conservatives/Republicans learn from our mistakes and return to our fundamental values. I hope you're right that Bush will veto any attempt by the Dems to raise taxes and that if he does the Republicans will have the votes to prevent a Dem override. I also like your idea about writing a letter to the editor once a month. Actually, I've thought about writing a whole op/ed piece for my local paper but, believe it or not, I don't think I write well enough to do that. That's why I blog; I can write on any subject I want, with all the passion I want, without having to worry about writers' guidelines or using perfect English every time, though I do try hard to use correct grammar. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to a fellow soldier in the Cause. Your words meant a lot. :)

The Election
Well, I'm finally getting around to talking about the midterm elections, two weeks late. Sorry! Anyway, the elections went as I expected them to. The Dems won a slim majority in both houses of Congress. Of course, I'm disappointed. I'd hoped that the American voters' thirst for change would be tempered by common sense, but it wasn't. The voters decided to believe that change would automatically be for the better and chose to ignore the Dems' San Francisco values, epitomized by their lust for surrender in Iraq and on our southern border. Bad move.
A part of me can't blame them, though. The Republicans really messed some things up. Most notably they spent like crazy, spending that can't all be attributed to the war. If memory serves, George W. Bush hasn't vetoed a single spending bill since he's been in office, and conservatives are supposed to be for smaller government. And let's not forget Bush's open borders attitude on immigration and his near-total abandonment of the fight against gay marriage, support of which helped to win him re-election in 2004. No wonder the Republicans' base was dissatisfied, to put it mildly.
I, too, was dissatisfied and willing to vote non-Republican, and I did. I did NOT vote Democrat because I don't trust the Dems with neither the safety nor the future of America. No, I voted for independent candidate Kinky Friedman for govenor of Texas. I voted for Kinky because of his strong stance against illegal immigration--he wanted to put 10,000 National Guard on the Texas-Mexico border--and also because he spit in the face of political correctness. It was thrilling and refreshing to see a candidate brave enough to call a spade a spade and offer real solutions to problems without worrying about whom he was offending. Kinky wasn't trying to win the Hispanic vote, or the black vote, or the white vote. He wanted the Texan vote. And he got mine. Unfortunately, Kinky lost his bid for the governorship of the greatest state in the greatest nation, but if he decides to run in 2010 he'll have my vote again.
On the national level I voted Republican because there were no Kinky Friedmans running for those offices. Most of my fellow Americans chose to vote Democrat and now we'll have to spend the next two years dealing with the consequences. Already the Dems' left-wing core is showing. We can expect all kinds of hearings and investigations as the Dems wage war on Bush instead of the terrorists. Blame America first will be the guiding principle of our foreign policy. Any chance of building a fence along our southern border, or doing anything else to curb illegal immigration, is kaput. The economy will slow down as the Dems raise taxes in the name of fairness and part of those tax dollars, no doubt, will be used to pay for public defenders for Gitmo detainees. This is only the beginning of the change you voted for America. I hope you're happy with it.

GUILTY!!!!!!!!
Yesterday former tyrant of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, was found guilty of crimes against humanity and given the death penalty. HALLELUYAH!
All over Iraq people shot guns into the air and danced in the streets to celebrate Saddam getting what he so richly deserved. I know this verdict won't mean that utopia will break out in Iraq but I am hoping that it will be a dash of reality to all the Bush haters of the world.
Even before America invaded Iraq, President Bush was the object of irrational hatred from the international Left. After the Iraq invasion the hatred got even hotter. "Peace activists" here and abroad smeared, and continue to smear, Bush as a terrorist and "the world's greatest tyrant". Clearly these people are totally detached from reality. I'm hoping Saddam's verdict will make them take a cold, hard look at what a real tyrant is and does, and then admit that they're accusations against President Bush are horribly false, the ramblings of distorted, Orwellian minds.
In George W. Bush's America, no one has been imprisoned for attacking the president. Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Harry Belafonte, Ward Churchill, and Jay Bennish, just to name a few anti-Bush critics, are alive, well, free, and even getting rich(er) and/or famous off of their hatred of the president. Can anyone say the same thing about the critics of Saddam? When did Saddam allow Iraqis to go abroad, call him the world's greatest tyrant, then return to Iraq with absolutely no fear of being harrassed, imprisoned, and/or tortured by the government? When did Saddam allow one of his citizens to buy some property close to one of his palaces and use it has a base to protest against him? Never, and never.
Tyrants don't allow freedom of speech. Tyrants don't allow freedom of association. Tyrants don't allow any second guessing of their policies by any of their citizens. Americans have freedom of speech. Americans have freedom of association. Americans second guess the policies of their government all the time. Yet, according to Harry Belafonte, Bush is the world's greatest tyrant. As I said above, the Bush haters are totally irrational. Hopefully Saddam's verdict will reaquaint them with the real world.

Thank You, John Kerry
I want to thank Senator John Kerry. I voted early this year and even though I'm a conservative I felt kind of blah voting for Republicans. I've been really disappointed in President Bush on some key issues, most notably illegal immigration, and only voted Republican because I knew the Democratic/liberal alternative would be worse. Well, Senator Kerry showed me just how much worse the Dems/libs really are and made me feel good about voting Republican.
As you all know, Senator Kerry insulted our troops once again--how many times is this guy gonna do this?--and showed everyone willing to see just what the Dems/libs are all about. Liberals/Dems are anti-military and they are anti-victory. For them, the only enemy is George W. Bush and they will do anything, say anything, and support any real enemy of America to bring the President down. That's not just partisan ranting on my part; I sincerely believe it. And for proof, look no further than Senator Kerry's Oct. 30 anti-troop "joke".
I've known for a while that Kerry and the rest of the Dem/lib cabal are anti-military. They've revealed their true feelings for decades. Kerry first made a name for himself slandering our troops as baby killers before Congress in 1971. More recently, he accused them of "terrorizing" Iraqi women and children, and then came his October surprise when he all but called our fighting men stupid, saying that if young people don't study they'll end up in Iraq. I know that the liberal media and blogs are tripping all over themselves trying to spin this remark into something it's not, but I think most Americans now know the truth. Most Americans now see the Dems/libs for what they really are: anti-military, anti-victory, anti-America traitors.
Yes, I called Dems/libs anti-America. Yes, I'm questioning their patriotism. People who slander our troops (John Kerry), call America evil (Cindy Sheehan), and use their power to aid and abet our enemies (Teddy Kennedy) are TRAITORS. Efforts by liberals to whitewash this treason by calling it dissent won't work. A few years ago straight talking Judge Judy wrote a book titled "Don't Pee On My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining". When liberals use their dissent-is-patriotism argument to try to sanitize their anti-American rants, they're peeing on our national leg and calling it rain. And they expect us to be dumb enough to believe them. Well, we're not.
Patriots support their country, love their country, defend their country, pray for their country, and oppose their country's enemies. They don't blame their country first when she gets into a conflict with another nation. They don't rush to believe the worst about their own troops while demanding lawyers for enemy fighters captured on the battlefield. Patriotism means something and in these perilous times we can't afford to take anyone's patriotism for granted. We can't assume that someone's patriotic just because he was born and raised in America. We also can't assume that someone's a patriot just because he's a combat veteran. Just as someone can go to church as a child yet become an atheist as an adult, so too can someone fight for his country in his youth then turn against her years later. It happens; John Kerry and John Murtha are sad proof of that.
So, I'm glad I voted Republican. I now realize more clearly than ever what I was voting against, and I have more hope about what I was voting for. The Republicans are not perfect; they've made a lot of mistakes in Iraq, but at least they have a history of being reliably pro-America. Senator Kerry reminded me of that. Thanks again, John.

Just Stopping By
Hey friends! I just wanted to apologize for not posting in over a week. Things have been so hectic for me lately that I just haven't had the time or the want-to to blog. Hopefully, things should start to quiet down now that a couple of big--big for me, that is-- events that I was working on are now done. Also, I was getting really frustrated at the library computers I have to use. Lately, they've been sooooo slow, and even when they load they can't always pull up the site that I want. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten that "Cannot Find Server" page while trying to pull up Blogger. It makes me want to puke!!!!!!!!! But today the computer I'm on is working great, so maybe the library staff fixed whatever was wrong with their system.
On more thing before I go. I've decided to start a new "column" on PGZ called Musings On.... I came up with this idea because I realized that my posts were becoming more and more political, and I felt I needed to do more posts on "life...and everything else" as it says in PGZ's description. However, since the majority of my posts are political I didn't want non-political posts to be just haphazardly thrown in, with no connection to the news of the day. So I came up with the Musings On... column. This column will be my thoughts on a variety of things that are on my mind and/or heart. I'm going to do this column every Friday. I hope Musings On... will be interesting to my readers. If nothing else, it'll give you a chance to see that I'm not all about politics. I do think about things other than Iraq, elections, and how to fight liberals. I'm not one dimensional. I do have a life (sort of). Musings On... will give you a glimpse of it.
See ya later!
