Celebrate this Historic Day

I am still celebrating -- stayed up until 5am last night to watch the reports and the video -- missed most of my Sunday afternoon sleeping to make up for lost hours overnight but it was well worth it!

If you haven't checked in at Iraq the Model today, please do. Muhammad and Omar blogged their experience voting today. Your heart will swell with pride for them and for the Coalition. Together, we made this happen! God bless the new Iraq and her people!

Yea, Democracy at gun-point! How fun is this? And now there's an Iranian
that is going to win the sham election and install Sharia Islamic law! Say
Hello to Al-Sistani, your new leader. The Neocons weren't planning on
that one were they?

Riddle me this, Lib... why is it that you all hide behind "Anonymous" when you seem so proud to point out one little article that predicts doom and gloom? Why not come right out and give yourself a name? Ashamed are you?

I imagine that your phrase "democracy at gunpoint" is meant to imply that democracy has come to the Iraqi people at the point of our guns. Yep. We deposed the dictator so we did indeed bring democracy to the people courtesy of our guns. Fine. No quibble with that.

As for your liberal press reference, I'd suggest you get your news from people who have a freakin' clue what's going on in their own country. Check out an Iraqi blog for once. The news right from the people who know what goes on. Do your own homework, Anonymous. It's worthwhile. Ooooh, I suppose I've just asked you to work... sorry. I'm sure that's anathema to your Lib nature. You're supposed to just wait for the Conservatives to do the research so you can say we're wrong... :-p

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
