Al Gore - a Momentary Lapse of Sanity?
Last night, former Vice President, Al Gore appeared on "The Tonight Show". Normally, when watching late night television, I would channel flip right past any mention of Al Gore as I'm not overly fond of the, "I hate America" group. (See "Al Goes to Saudi Arabia to Speak about How the US Badly Abuses Muslims.") I was too tired to even change the channel, and Al surprised me. He was funny - I woke up a bit. When queried by Jay Leno, the host, if the demise of Al Zarqawi was truly necessary, or perhaps we would have been better off it he were still alive Al replied that it was a good thing he was dead. I sat up bolt upright in total disbelief. Al continued to explain that the death of this particular person at the hands of the US military was good for our soldiers and good for Iraq - almost as if to say, but not quite saying - The US did a good thing.
Close enough.
Not the case with those actively involved in politics. According to some Democrats, this announcement by the Bush Administration was yet another publicity stunt - (Washington Times) - staged by the President and Company in order to take the heat off of whatever evil they are currently accusing the military or the administration of concocting.
Have they no shame or sense of decency? Is it any wonder that the DNC continues to lose seats in both houses when party members are so deeply invested in their hatred of a single person (Bush) that they cannot grasp reality? Why can't the DNC have a basic annual litmus test for those politician's holding office making sure they are not able to say anything that will get into print that is not - oh - sane?
Most of the party leaders, like Al Gore, are running to the center on this particular issue. One ponders how long that will last. Of course, there is the flip side, if Al Gore can be moderate, there is still hope for my father's party.

A matter of time - AIRSTRIKE KILLS AL-ZARQAWI - headline from CNN this morning. This could lead one to speculate that "Wanted, Dead or Alive", means, "Dead or Alive".
Recently, President Bush regretted having made statements such as that, as well, as talking tough, or "Talking Texan". It was a political move to pacify an increasingly aggressive and hostile progressive press. It was one of the low points of his presidency. Perhaps there are people in this country who find that type of passion towards ones enemies offensive, yet, it might be easier to find those who are in total agreement; they are normally called -- a voting block, a large voting block.
The demise of Zarqawi is a political coup and a reminder to all American's that our forces are still the defenders of freedom, at home and abroad, they get their man.
It is not a stretch to believe that Mr. Osama Bin Laden will follow Zarqawi, given a matter of time.
What the progressives understand is that a war, any war, does take time, and if given the time, this administration and our armed forces will prevail. That has their panties in a proverbial bunch - the solution, to negate and demonize both the executive branch and the military. The problem with that tactic is: American's are no longer buying that line.
On to Canada - The Islamic psychopath had plans to not only take over the country, but behead the Prime Minister. Is it such a stretch of the imagination that the continual push in Iraq and the devious dealings of the NSA and Company, has kept the same from happening stateside? Kudo's to the Mounted Police. Their motto? "We always get our man." Tough talk apparently pays off.
Of course, this has occurred without the help of the following: Jack Murtha, John Kerry, The New York Times and the ACLU! I imagine this morning they are weeping into their teacups over the news of Zarqawi and how this may affect them come November.

On Immigration: Opinion complements of a moderate conservative from the state of New York
I love reader mail and mail from friends, well, most of it. Not that I get a great deal of email mind you, or have a particular readership. However, if, some lone surfer happens upon my ranting and raving and that act forces them to take a closer look at a position and perhaps adds even a smidgen of morality to any votes they cast or lifestyle decisions make -- then perhaps, just perhaps, I have performed an intervention. (see my take on cults).
On the border
"Let's put 100,000 armed and ready to shoot troops on our borders.
that's pretty much the deterrent we need - and anyone that's got a problem with that? - NO!!!!!!!!!
My father's parents and my mother's grandparents came over from Ireland the correct way, so I am all for this wall. They should get the illegals to build it with guns drawn at them, instead of sitting in their nice jail with lots of food and water.
What sickens me more is this Spanish language and Spanish patriotic songs. It's kind of scary, like they want to take over the country. Minorities have been fighting for years for rights, and they think they can climb over a wall and get.....excuse me....DEMAND rights!!!
Yes, I'm ticked off, too!!
OHHHH and maybe they could build a nice large jail in the middle of the desert for all of the sex offenders .........then the poor short guy will be safe from the big bad bullies. He will be with his own kind..... Oh yeah, he'll be very safe with them."
