Before making any remarks on some of the comments that have been received on a number of the articles posted here, there is one comment I want to make... Those who read what I have to say here and reply are more than welcomed to do so.. I appreciate that everyone has their own views, opinons and thoughts... However, when making replies and comments, at least stick to FACTS... Personal attacks are the hallmark of stupidty.. Those based on this type behavior serve no purpose.. I do NOT delete ANY commments.. They are left open for your review...

Ok.. Lets be honest here.

I AM a supporter of Mr Bush. Yet, that does NOT mean I support everything hes done or attempted to do.  Some of his proposals have been disasters.. Some the same, only waiting to happen.  The so-called "Immigration Reform Bill" amoung them... As for the "No Child Left Behind",,, thats one which, in its "ORGINAL" format would have been a great boon to education.  However, as it is being enforced by the US Department of Indoctronation, its just another disaster.  The whole concept of The Federal Government being involved in education is a disaster and has been since all of this mess begin.  Before The United States had an education system which was the envy of the entire world.  Now, we're turning out, at an alarming rate, generation after generation of "graduates" who are barely above the level of functionaly illiterates. 

LFred South in his comments to my thoughts on "The Liberal Idea of Freedom of Speech"(21 July, 2008), raised some interesting points.  He did so in a manner which gives one to read his words with care and interest, rather than seeing some of the feedback that resorts to the usual liberal mantra of name calling and personal attacks. When trying to make ones point, using phasers like "Nazi Storm Trooper" and "Goose stepping Nazi" automatically gives the impression the writer is a victim of government schools... and when you see the public photo of this person, eyes covered by dark sun glasses, it drives home even deeper just how our nations education system has failed in almost every way possible.

Back to the subject... Under FDR the depression was ended.  Yet, that was a situation whose foundations were laid by another Democratic president in the person of Herbert Hoover. Now, we have Obama, who in the same mold, wants to do exactly the same things which brought about the entire downfall of our ecomonic system.. and took such a toll on the people of this nation, almost 90 years later we still discuss it on a daily basis. The answer to the current conditions is NOT raising taxes.. forcing business to operate under even more government regulations and thus interference.  The Free Market System has the ability to "correct itself" providing governent will keep itself out of the way and allow it to do so... Its only everytime government starts to become involved in anything, things go from mild to worse... Other than the military and those things mandated by Constitutional Law.. Can you think of one thing which has been successful under government "control"..?

Valrie Plame:  Yeppers, happened under Bushs Watch.. His fault..?  Noppers.. Ask Robert Novak.. Seems when he finally was given permission to reveal the source of all that mess, the light of truth proved, beyond a shadow the only connection this adminstratoin had to the whole affair was totall remote... The over zelot persuit of almost anyone and everyone within the White House, again as usual, only shows how, when allowed to run wild, how anything connected with government becomes nothing more than the out of control spree of abuse of power... Scooter Libbys only error was being stupid.. and maybe, to an extent, being loyal.  Seems to me, under the Cliton rule, there were more cases of those associated with him going to prision than with any other in history.

Fired Attorney Generals..?  Yeppers.. Happened too,  Yet again, when Clinton took office  he fired EVERYONE except Rudy...!  Dont remember all that much cain being raised over his actions.. Seems to me, the liberal media barely covered the entire situtation. Bush fires a few and all hell breaks loose.. The  Democratic memebers of Congress raise hell, investigaton after investigation, costing US tens of millions of dollars and in the end nothing.. Government stupidity at its best.

The current energy situation.. Clinton again... He had the channce to begin a program to make The United States at least far less dependent on imported oil. When presented the bill which would allow drilling in ANWAR, he vetoed it.   One can only use wild speculation as to his reasons, but one thing is crystral clear.. he did not take such action out of concern for the enviorment or the herds of caribou there... Had this not been done, the known fields there would be producing right now... And we would NOT be in this situation.  Democrats have a running history of doing everything possible to keep this nation dependent on imported oil.  This past Friday is a prime example. Faced with the most severe energy problem we have faced as a nation in almost three decades, Speaker of The House Pelosi allowed its members to go on vacation rather than deal with the problem... To use HER words when asked on GMA if she would EVER allow an energy bill to come to the floor of the house for a vote... Her answer..."NO"... Nuff said...

Katria.. One hellva a mess... and should have never been allowed to reach the level it did. This does not mean all that occured during that disaster can be laid at the feet of Mr Bush or FEMA... Much of the "credit" for the vast amount of suffering endured goes to the New Orleans Mayor and the states governor.. Both sat on their hands and did nothing. Nagle had at his disposal hundreds of city school buses which could have be used to get most of the population of the city away.. What action.. He said.. I dont have drivers and they sat empty except for the water which filled them to window level... The governor in the same manner as Flordia, sat around and twittled for THREE DAYS rather than calling on Mr Bush for a state of emergency... Her "reasons"... She claimed she did not know SHE was the one who has to ask for such aciton.. Saying, in typrical Demorcatic jumble, she thought the President would "automatically" send all the help needed, only goes to show how Democrats view The Constitution... Her "performace" was do bad, so dismal, she dared not to even run for re-election.. The people of New Orleans, unlike the vast majority of the states citizens saw fit to put Nagle back into office... The results are public record...  Nuff said..

Iraq: I like many others did NOT want to see us involved there.. However, we are and the clut of appeasers who want to cut and run, allow the terrorist victory is sickening... Senate Majority "Leader" Harry "Mr Surrender" Reid is ON RECORD declaring "We are already defeated in Iraq"... The vast majority of senior Democrats, espically in the senate have done all possible to ensure we are defeated there.. From Murtha comments about our Marines...Shumer.. Durbin..sKerry.. Stark.. Rangle and on and on and on... The fromer Prime Minster of Spain, sent by The United Nations to try to effect some type of negoations with these blood thristy murdering thugs, returned with the report they do not want to "tal"... they want complete surrender or death.. Its defeat this bunch of cold bloodied murders or die.. Thats the ONLY choice... Nuff said...
