Your Veteran's Day Duty -- be there or be square!

I want to share the information I received about an exciting event being held this Veteran's Day weekend here in Louisville. Please make plans to attend if you can. It's a great way to honor our military men and women both past and present on Veteran's Day weekend. Honor their sacrifices with a sacrifice of some of your time and attention on Saturday. I hope to see you all there!

In honor of Veterans Day, Vets for Freedom and Vets for Victory will be sponsoring a town hall meeting and troop rally with special guest Kentucky Third District Congressional Candidate Erwin Roberts.

This event will be held at Eastwood Community Center, which is located at 16300 Eastwood Cutoff Road, Louisville KY 40245 at 3:00 P.M. November 10, 2007. If you have any questions please contact Johnny Waltz at 513-488-0982 or email at johnnywaltz2000@gmail.com.

Yours truly will be there with her "We Support Our Troops" flag and a hearty "thank you" for all of our brave men and women in uniform. I'm really looking forward to hearing from these vets. We don't seem to get enough first-hand information from the mainstream media so let's get it in person when we can!

Be absolutely disgusted but don't be at all surprised when you see a few old relics from the Vietnam era outside this event with their worn out "War is not the answer" signs, waving their support for our troops in the form of "Bush Lied" signs, beating their pickle drums, and chanting some nonsense into bullhorns. Trust me when I tell you that they will be there and they will turn your stomach. If you feel inclined, you might want to bring your own pro-victory signs and flags to stand up to their nonsense. I certainly will!

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...

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...

Pol Watchers Responds

I think it's important for anyone with a voice on the internet to present all sides of an issue. In that spirit, I am posting the response I received via email from John Stamper of the Lexington Herald-Leader to the piece I wrote about censorship on blogs: "Your post about Pol Watchers does not contain the entire thread of comments, as your blog states. If you go to the post in question , you will see that there has been no effort to eliminate comments just because they question Jonathan Miller and Mark Nickolas. Plenty of them still remain. However, as stated in my comment on Pol Watchers, we're not going to allow people to use the blog as a forum for name calling. It's that simple. Check around, it's a pretty common policy. For example, blogs at WashingtonPost.com have this policy: 'User reviews and comments that include profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments or material will be removed from the site. Additionally, entries that are unsi...
