America is More Loved than You Think!

There's an interesting article out by Anne Applebaum in this month's Foreign Policy magazine. You have to register (for free) to read it but it's worth the effort! "...In the Philippines, for example, the BBC poll shows that 88 percent of the population has a “mainly positive” view of the United States, an unusually high number anywhere. In India, that number is 54 percent, and in South Africa, it’s 56 percent, particularly high numbers for the developing world. In the case of the first two countries, geopolitics could be part of the explanation: India and the Philippines are both fighting Islamist terrorist insurgencies, and they see the United States as an ally in their struggles. (Perhaps for this reason, both of these countries are also among the few who perceived the reelection of U.S. President George W. Bush as “mainly positive” for the world as well.) But it is also true that all three of these countries have experienced, in the last 20 years, political or ec

Help Protest the Pro-Sheehan Forces

Louisville PW/FReep Action Alert: Calling all ProtestWarriors, FReepers, and Supporters of Our Troops Sunday, August 28th at 6:30pm at the corner of Bardstown Rd and Eastern Pkwy Be there or be square! Louisville's own pro-Sheehan Leftist lunkheads will be out on that corner starting at 7pm Sunday to support Cindy Sheehan's circus and hold what they like to refer to as a "peace vigil." Don't let them fool you: it's actually a pacifist, punch America in the gut, Bush-hating meet-up. Join us to show your support for our troops at 6:30pm Sunday at the above-named intersection here in Louisville. You'll have no trouble spotting us as there should be flags waving and the typical PW signs on our side of the street.

You don't speak for any of us, Cindy!

I'm a bit late writing about this as I haven't kept up on the news like I usually do. However, thanks to the Free Republic , I'm up to date now and as proud as I could possibly be of the efforts of those in this great United States who support our President and our Troops. Deborah Johns is a name you don't hear nearly as often as the name Cindy Sheehan. A shame too because Deborah is a great spokeswoman for the pro-America crowd. Deborah is the mother of a Marine, William, who's been stationed in Iraq for the past 15 months. She got upset watching the circus created by Cindy and her Leftist puppetmasters. So, she organized the "You Don't Speak for Me!" tour . She and supporters from everywhere (most notably FReepers and ProtestWarriors ) are caravaning to Crawford, Texas to facedown the Leftie America-haters. I want to be sure that everyone sees the video of Deborah's comments to the FReepers as well as the video from the story done about her on

Beans Needs a Ride Home

As I was listening to Rush today --the man, not the band... although I really like the band a lot too-- he brought tears to my eyes. His mention of this story is the first I'd heard of it and it needs to be shared with others. Here are a few relevant links that tell the story: a Free Republic post (way to go, Freepers!), a blog called " Collecting My Thoughts ," and a news report from News Channel 5 in Cleveland, Ohio. Kathy Wright's son, Jeffrey Boskovitch , was killed by sniper fire on August 1, but before that he had taken in a scruffy stray dog named "Beans." Beans got his name because the dog was purchased by Jeffrey from some locals for a few jellybeans and a quarter. This picture was sent to his mom, Kathy, and she cherishes it today. It was her son's wish that Beans be adopted by his Mom if anything were to happen to him. Kathy has raised the necessary funds to pay for someone to fly Beans home to Ohio from Iraq. The US Military will not transp

Are *they* Meeting their Recruitment Goals?

While Liberals in our country "worry" about whether the US Armed Forces are meeting their recruitment goals, the Islamic extremists/terrorists in our country have found fertile ground to meet their recruitment goals... the US prison system. Daveed at the Counterterrorism Blog has written an enlightening piece on this. Not to throw fuel on the fire, if that's even possible anymore, but this really makes me angry. Taxpayer dollars are feeding, clothing, and housing these extremists while they recruit help from other prisoners and plot to harm more innocent civilians! Gee, how's that for turning the other cheek?

Cindy Sealed the Deal

For those of you who missed the mention on Rush Limbaugh's show the other day, this is not to be missed! Scott Randolph, a Liberal blogger, has actually had enough. In his own words, "...The good little democrat in me tied the little noose around his neck and jumped off the stool." Read it . It's an awesome piece of open-minded, had-enough-nonsense, blogging from the Left. Scott, from the Right, I'd like to say, "Welcome." We've had enough of Cindy too.

Word to your Mother

Carl Morgan and some ProtestWarriors showed up at Crawford, TX to counter-protest Sheehan's gang. Here is his report, which was printed as an editorial in the Dallas Morning News: Politics of protest - War protesters say they want debate and dissent, but only if it's their debate and dissent 07:34 PM CDT on Tuesday, August 16, 2005 CRAWFORD - I guess we made a wrong turn. This became obvious when a Secret Service agent approached the car and asked what we wanted. We were too close to President Bush's ranch. According to radio station KLIF-AM (570), we were to park at Bubba's house (no joke) and meet with other Bush supporters to counter Cindy Sheehan's cooperation with increasingly distasteful anti-war groups. I was with six Protest Warriors, a conservative group that "protests the protesters." When we explained this to the Secret Service agent, she became amicable - smiled even - and was extremely helpful. This was emblematic of every law-enforcement off

!Viva el FairTax Revolucion!

Thanks to the current release and online promotion of the The FairTax Book -- Saying goodbye to the income tax and the IRS by Neal Boorz and John Linder , I have begun to smell the spark of revolution stirring again in this country. If you haven't read about the FairTax yet, please do . Many people are confusing it with the Flat Tax. It is nothing like the Flat Tax -- it is far, far better and more revolutionary. This is one piece of legislation that could actually revolutionize our bloated government and the financial life of every American (rich, poor, thrifty, or undecided). Can I get an Amen?

Fancy Farm: the Capitol of the Low Blow!

I know I am remiss in posting a bit about my visit to Fancy Farm on August 6th, so I hope you'll accept my apology for making y'all wait. ;-) On the morning of Fancy Farm, a couple of my fellow Protest Warriors and I showed up ready to roll -- no signs, no CDs of patriotic music, no flags... just our own curiosity and some cool t-shirts! More about that later. Even though the company was good and the spirits high, after a four-hour van ride with Republicans of many stripes I was relieved to get out of the van at Fancy Farm (just outside of Maysville, Kentucky). Even the sweltering heat was a relief from the monotonous and bumpy ride down there from Louisville. I suppose we Warriors thought we were pretty tough but when Pemby showed up with a stuffed gorilla named "Erlene," we knew our tough act was blown! At any rate, we survived the ride with lots of pleasant company. I suppose I was the least well-behaved but that's par for the course, actually. We made the sho

To Kill an American

The founder of Spirit of America , Jim Hake, sent an email the other day that brought a message called " To Kill an American " to my attention. It's been circulating around the internet but I hadn't seen it before now. It is certainly worth your consideration -- celebrate the beauty of being an American! Thanks, Jim!

Not to be Missed -- Fancy Farm Picnic

If you're interested in some good old-fashioned political mud-slinging, the Fancy Farm picnic is this Saturday (8/6/05) in Graves County, Kentucky. It's a four-hour drive from Louisville but, from what I hear, it's well worth it. This event is held once a year and all of our statewide politicians are there to give stump speeches and be seen. The crowd heckles, cheers, boos, and generally interacts with the politicians as they give their speeches. It is highly likely that our illustrious Governor will be heckled over the current waste of time and money (also known as the " hiring probe ") initiated by Stumbo in Frankfort. The event is actually a Catholic picnic held in Fancy Farm, Kentucky every year. For the past 120 years, it has served as the rallying point for all politicians throughout the state (both Democrat and Republican). For political junkies in Kentucky, it's a pilgrimage/tradition. I hear that the BBQ at this picnic is not to be missed either. If

Finally Made It!

For those of you keeping score at home, my honesty in Diversity class online did NOT earn me a bad grade after all! I made it through with an A. Wooohhoooo! Thanks to an open-minded Ph.D. who does indeed have a tolerance for differing opinions, I've kept my 4.0 intact. I'm sooo glad that's behind me now. Onward and upward to International Business... the first week of this one was already a tough one. I can tell you now that it's a good thing the instructor from this class wasn't teaching the Diversity class. I do believe she's a Lib. We'll see!
