Brian at Iowa Voice will be blogging all day today about our wonderful, brave, courageous veterans – make sure to check out his blog throughout the day for postings honoring the men and women who put it all on the line for us, so we can enjoy the freedoms we do today.
I have battled for years with liberals who have claimed in so many words that our enemy does not have the time nor are they interested in monitoring via the media what we say and do here in America. I have shown them the words of PAVN Colonel Bui Tin from an interview he did with the WSJ back in August 1995, where he cited the anti-war movement here at home as being critical to Hanoi’s victory. That doesn’t seem to compute, either. I think liberals like to claim that what we say here doesn’t have much, if any, impact on how the enemy conducts itself because if they admitted that the enemy paid attention to what we said and did here carefully, then they’d be admitting that the harsh statemetns coming from the mouths of top Dems like Ted Kennedy and John Kerry actually did impact the war negatively. Very negatively.
Ann Althouse has up a must-read post today on admitting depression about how the elections turned out – and she addresses it from a non-partisan perspective:
Excellent idea! Republicans absolutely love him, and he’d bring a fresh face and perspective to the party, especially opposite DNC Chair Howie Dean – the contrasting styles couldn’t be more obvious.
If you ever watched former (ugh!) Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s numerous interactions with the press, you’ll understand the humor behind this tribute. It’s right on. One of the many things I liked about Rummy was his unique ability to handle the press, sometimes treating them like the children they are.
First, he dressed up in a disgraceful Halloween costume that mocked the death of well-respected Aussie wildlife lover Steve Irwin. Now he’s “outing” Ken Mehlman by alleging that the soon-to-be former RNC Chairman is gay. Predictably, the Nutroot contingent in the blogosphere are boiling mad that CNN edited out Maher’s comments about Mehlman in re-runs of the initial Larry King Show broadcast (which is shown in the Political Pit Bull link).
