This committee hasn’t descended to the last ring of Senatorial legal hell as did the one in the eighties, but that Kennedy fellow sure tried to reprise his role as Satan’s little gatekeeper. Too much fine food, too many years of inactivity, too much Scotch Whiskey and too few working or live brain cells….he just couldn’t pull it off. I mean anyone who would go toe to toe with RINO Arlen Specter, with Arlen coming out of the deal looking like Real Man a Real Legislator and more importantly a Real Republican. Kennedy out did himself on that one. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:130%;"&gt;I could spread my disgust with the dems pretty evenly, but not this time. This time I’m going to focus on the “Old Lion” of the Senate, Teddy Kennedy of that marvelous East coast litter of Joe and Rose. Teddy Kennedy is a disgrace. He is disgrace as a Senator. He is a disgrace as Patriarch ( and believe me that’s hard to achieve) He is a disgrace as a Catholic, he is quite simply a disgrace as a man in all respects. In his defense it should be noted that he came by some of it naturally. Watching big brothers Jack and Bobby womanizing and cheating, in full view of, and in some cases with the help of the press. It was a real hoot to watch all the icons of journalism wink and nod about how they all knew of the young Kennedy’s indiscretions and chose not to cover them. I’ll bet they wouldn’t have extended that courtesy to Barry Goldwater or Richard Nixon, of course they (Goldwater &amp;amp;Nixon) probably wouldn’t have behaved in that manner. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:130%;"&gt;The Kennedy’s association of convenience with La Cosa Nostra could fill a volume. You kids thought that the democrats just started trying to steal elections in 2000. Nope, they effectively with mob help stole the 1960 Presidential election. When pressed to take action against the democrats, Richard Millhouse Nixon wouldn’t do it, he stepped aside caring more about his country than his political career.Consider his later antics with that in mind.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:130%;"&gt;Back to Teddy, I don’t know what the statute of limitations is for a Wrongfull Death case. But I believe that Mary Jo Kapechne’s death should be brought up every time this drunken lout oozes himself in front of a camera. That is one albatross he should never be allowed to remove or runaway from, till his dying day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18856998-113710560187239248?l=acmeliberation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acmeliberation.blogspot.com/feeds/113710560187239248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18856998&amp;postID=113710560187239248' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18856998/posts/default/113710560187239248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18856998/posts/default/113710560187239248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acmeliberation.blogspot.com/2006/01/kennedy-not-quite-brawler-he-used-to.html' title='Kennedy not quite the brawler he used to be'/><author><name>Rick Hoffman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17205863800064890907</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18856998.post-113642633637727159</id><published>2006-01-04T17:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-04T17:58:56.386-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dave ain't got it</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;My first question to Letterman is just why the hell you asked O’Reilly on the show.

This just cant'be</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I was just reading in the News Telegraph that things aren’t so pleasant across the pond. It seems the Home Office reports that ARMED violent crime is on the rise, and has been for some time now. I believe the Home Office is the United Kingdom’s equivalent to our Justice Department. Rather curious that firearms should still be a problem for you chaps in merry olde England, being as how you fellows had made it illegal to own them. And that was some time ago, wasn’t it?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Yes, I believe I’m right old man, no one can own them legally. Hmm, seems some folks just don’t seem to be obeying that law, odd don’t you think!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Well those folks who don’t obey the law are what we here in Texas commonly refer to as “CRIMINALS”. And as just about anyone with an above room temperature I.Q. can and did tell you M.P.’s in the U.K., they won’t be turning in their guns, or obeying your new laws.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And then the government of the Empire where the sun never sets&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ( at least at one time, long ago) makes it illegal to defend ones self from these armed thugs. You know it wasn’t that long ago we, Americans were sending not only military men and materiel to the U.K., but also tons of common firearms. And after that long hard fought war was over, what did ya’ll do ? Went about the business of gettin’ rid of those pesky firearms that helped keep your’e arses from goosesteppin with Adolph. And then, what did ya do, you got rid of the one individual in your country most responsible for the fact you even survived the damn war in the first place !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You guys should have just stuck with that chap Neville Chamberlain, because the way things look today, you are headed in the same direction! Winston Churchill certainly had his faults, but he had a pair the current bunch couldn’t carry in a wheelbarrow. No joke, what has become of England ?

This oh so egalitarian code of ethics that's known as political correctness, moral relativism, moral equivalence is not the big problem, but it's the enabler. For the last thirty-five to forty years Europe has been inundated with immigrants, mostly from their former colonies, and mostly Muslim. I guess guilt was the mother of political correctness. In trying to figure how this mess all got started the only sane conclusion is imperial guilt. Anyhow, the politically correct chickens have come home to roost. Afraid to offend their former subjects, countries all over Europe are bending over backwards to show their guest that they really, really, care for them. And now they're reaping the whirlwind. By pandering to the lowest common denominator, Europe as a whole and the former empire nations in particular are on the brink of disappearing. Yes that's right, even without the help of Islamic Fascist, they're pretty much doomed. Having not met the replacement birth rate for almost seventy years combined with the millions and millions lost to two world wars, ethnic Europeans- Germans, French take your pick, will be gone from the world. And way before this century is over, too. And those riots in France weren’t even the beginning of their Muslim, Islamic or Mohammedan problems.&lt;br/&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You have probably heard about the riots in Sydney, Australia. At first it was portrayed as raucous violent white Aussie beach bums beating up some poor muslim for no good reason. Wrong. Apparently a vacationing Pakistani, being tried for rape is the catalyst. It seems now that even our stalwart cousins in Australia have let the P.C. bug get the best of them, also. Local police have pretty much abdicated rule of law, to a powerful, violent Islamic gang from Lebanon. And this rape thing , hey you lefties blowing that P.C. multi-cultural horn out there… well you might as well just serve up your Mom’s, wives’ and daughters first. You know, just to prove your sincerity, at least as to all things being equal and such! Because if the females in your house ain’t goin’ out with their burka’s on, then, well as far as the Muhamedmen&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;are concerned they just have to be raped. And not just by one of these Muhamedmen, oh no no no they have to be gang raped! And when it is all said and done, she damn well better be remorseful for her misdeeds or things get worse. I just can’t wait to see, when all this finally becomes obvious, how&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;the feminist and other lefties are going to approach this one. These cats are claiming the right to rape, hey it’s a cultural thing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;And abortion rights, don’t worry these guys will gut you like a fish, just for practice.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; These things are going on all over the globe. You thought the only thing concerning Muslim violence in Europe was the gruesome murder of Dutch film maker Mr. van Gogh, nope wrong again. The Muhamedan Gang Rape Club is in the Netherlands, Sweden, wherever there’s a large Musslim population …. Get the point yet?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This is allowable by their faith, and many, many more things that are far worse. If you believe there is a moral equivalence between Islam, Judaism and Christianity, if you believe Islam is a religion of peace you are Hopeless!

Violence and riots are visiting the civilizations of the West. The violence that is seeking us , calling us out, here in the U.S. , in Europe, England and Australia and elsewhere around  the globe has only one thing binding it to us. And that thing is hatred. Hatred that we will not give up our common heritage, belief's and most importantly religion. That hatred has a name Islam, meaning to surrender.

     We have let our civilizations be subject to this violence by bowing at the alter of new religion, a new theory of being. This new theory or religion will destroy us if we allow it to continue. This new theory is being taught here and elsewhere as moral relevance and or moral equivalence. At it's very core is that there is no right or wrong, and that truth is an abstract, subject to the whims and judgements of each individual. And with this basis then all things believed by men of different cultures or religions become equal or morally equivalent.

     For us, Western civilization that is, to throw off everything learned in the last few thousand years as just mythology and to believe that all belief's and cultures are morally the same is simply to commit suicide. With Islam on the rise and on the march, this is especially so!

He's been blessed with looks and talent. And in my opinion he should stick with entertainment. Here is a man trying to convince people that modern liberal ideology is synomous with patriotism. It is not. With Pelosi, Boxer, John Kerry and pretty much all of the LIBERAL DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP calling for the President of the United States to be impeached for trying to protect American citizens is not patriotic. What it is, is SUBVERSIVE behavior. And this kind of behavior during wartime is inexcusable folks. There is plenty of LEGAL precedent for the President's action concerning the wire taps.

    And as for that clown Clooney, the man has no knowledge of history.  And I'd like to think that he's just not aware of what is going on around the globe. Because if he really does understand what is going on, and he wants to throw his lot in with the likes of the democrat leadership. Well, maybe he should stop worrying about trying to revitalize liberal ideology, and learn just what the words Patriot, Subversive and Treason mean. And the difference between them.

You know one of the tools in our democratic fix-it box is impeachment, and if the dem's feel so cavalier about using it in this instance, then let's all play along. Consevatives for far too long now have let Federal judges with lifetime appointments run wild without even a suggestion of impeachment. And just think! we can start off with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It's about time we had a Constitutional showdown. Lets start a movement. The dem's last hope for power was through the courts, so lets hit them where they live. I would be willing to bet that with close enough scrutiny, we'll be able to find multiple circumstances for impeaching federal judges all over the country.

He demands an open border, and he's calling on all illegals already here to protest that their human rights are being violated. He is hoping to raise enough hell that the international community (our enemies) will bring pressure on us. You had better make your view's known and known now. Write your representatives A.S.A.P.

      Their current salvo against the American Family,  Brokeback Mountain, a tale of two sodomite buckaroos from the good state of Wyoming. As far as I can tell from the press releases these two obviously selfish homosexuals have a lustfilled tryst in a cabin on a cold winter night. I say selfish for a number of reason's, but most important is the fact that these two queer caballero's part ways after their unatural night together. They go on and find girls, get married and have families. Ah, but years later they're reunited and take after each other again! Forget all those corny things you've ever heard 'bout cowboys and codes of honor and doin' the right thing! And forget the heartbreak and embarassment this would bring to the women they made vows to.

One of the key factors in delaying the release has been Clinton's pitbull David Kendall, filing motion after motion, thus ensuring it doesn't see the light of day.

First let me state that I love Mexico, it's a beautiful country inhabited by good, but very poor people for the most part. And since I haven't been to Europe since I was a child, it's the only foreign country I can speak of with some true authority. &lt;/div&gt;     I have travelled through a lot of Mexico, and done so by car all but once, when I flew in to Monterrey for a vacation. I have worked in Mexico and I currently live forty-five minutes from the border. All of this as my bona fides.
     The country of Mexico is probably the most corrupt, from top to bottom, country in our hemisphere and I would wager it could probably qualify for the top twenty most corrupt countries in the world. From Mayor's to streetcops to Federales on straight to El Presidente. Bribery or mordida is a way of life down there. And not just in little localized areas either, it's institutionalized.
     And Mexico has never been our ally, either. During both World Wars, they were much closer to Germany than us.
    And this border problem that the rest of you have all of the sudden discovered, we here on the border have seen all our lives. It's really no worse now, than it's ever been. The only difference now is the OTM's coming accross. What are OTM's you say? Well, that's the official acronym for Other Than Mexican. And that can include just about any country, but the ones that the rest of you are worried about, and so are we here on the border are the Middle Eastern guys and gals skipping across our undefended border. It is probably to late to do anything about it now, because there is no telling how many have successfully crossed and set up cells or already joined with existing sleeper cells. We know this because we've got a couple of them in jail here in Texas.
    Most of Mexico is owned and or controlled by a very few families. That is a fact most old timers know down here. And there's a running joke that the first place an unseated President goes is to Switzerland to deposit his new found wealth.
     Mexico, great place, great folks just watch your Back!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18856998-113458038183123748?l=acmeliberation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acmeliberation.blogspot.com/feeds/113458038183123748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18856998&amp;postID=113458038183123748' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18856998/posts/default/113458038183123748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18856998/posts/default/113458038183123748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acmeliberation.blogspot.com/2005/12/trouble-with-mexico-is-mexico.html' title='The trouble with Mexico is Mexico'/><author><name>Rick Hoffman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17205863800064890907</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18856998.post-113435085695765295</id><published>2005-12-12T16:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-12T16:18:32.226-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Death of a child</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A very close family to mine is about to suffer one the most horrible tragedies I can imagine, the loss of a child. And this has not been a brief journey for this loving family. You see Kelsey, their thirteen year old daughter is about to lose, what can only be described as an heroic battle , she's about to lose her life to cystic fibrosis. If you're not familiar with CF, it is truly one of the most horrible afflictions known. And as far as I know, it only visits upon the children in our midst. Imagine living a life, that from the time your're old enough to know things, you know that you are doomed. And to know the machinations and course of that doom, of your own demise...at such a tender age. Well, Kelsey knew all of this, and yet she was a becon of hope and joy for anyone around her. And to know her is truly a blessing from God. I mean that, too, not just rhetorically. God sends his messages in myriad ways, as is his prerogative. At this juncture of my life, my duties have expanded, that is to say they're more than just my wife and children job and so forth you know, the normal stuff. And I was starting to feel rather over burdoned until I heard about Kelsey. My load is nothing and I know it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18856998-113435085695765295?l=acmeliberation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acmeliberation.blogspot.com/feeds/113435085695765295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18856998&amp;postID=113435085695765295' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18856998/posts/default/113435085695765295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18856998/posts/default/113435085695765295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acmeliberation.blogspot.com/2005/12/death-of-child.html' title='Death of a child'/><author><name>Rick Hoffman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17205863800064890907</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18856998.post-113433205825026258</id><published>2005-12-11T11:24:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-11T12:14:18.273-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Memory</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;    I was just reading a blurb in the Federalist Patriot about global warming, whether to worry 'bout melting polar ice caps or brace for the on coming ice age. It brought to mind just how short public memory is.  In particular I'm thinking of the fellow who led the populace ( those who are prone to believe w/o question the words from those educated far beyond their own intelligence ) to believe we were all going to succumb to a global ice age.  This was of course before the cottage industry of global warming. There's literally no end to the money one can make scarring the hell out of people, and in some cases that's a good thing. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;     And how many people believed in Silent Spring.  This book is indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people from mosquito borne diseases. Why is that you say? It led to outlawing the use of DDT, a hugely successful pesticide. Which since has been proven to be harmless to humans, used appropriately.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;     I also remember when the homosexual as special rights group got a good foothold on the public in this country. But back then they, and by they I mean their public leadership, were making very different statements as to the foundation of their peculiar sexual proclivities. Then they said homosexuality was their free choice, and as Americans their choice should be respected, or at least tolerated as long as it didn't interfere with the rights of others.  Gee, haven't we come a long way since then. Now they have convinced a lot of people that their sexual proclivities are simply a matter of geneology ! Again, with the above mentioned folks who believe anything that spews from the piehole of the overeducated. Of course this magic unatural gene has yet to be found. But that doesn't stop them from exerting their claims as fact, and the gullible non thinkers from believing it. All of these matters are in the public record.

As far as I'm concerned he should keep taking whatever it is he's taking. He makes Bevis and Butthead look like Einstein and Oppenheimer. Have you noticed all those people with sacks over their head, my guess is they're the democratic leadership.

The democrats , if they persist in following the path they have chosen are going to literally tear this country apart. And if that is their goal , they're getting awfully close to success. Let's start with the war in Iraq. To begin with I was against the war , but as soon as boots were on the ground and our young men and women were commited to combat , I shut up. I shut up, not because I reversed my position or my belief. I shut up because it was the right thing to do. I did so because as a conscientious American ( not a hyphenated American, though being born in Germany) I will never utter one word that might be construed in such a way that might bring harm to our servicemen and women. Now if I know not to do something that would bring harm to them, then what excuse can elected officials who stand on the floor of the House of Representatives have. Let's forget for now what Nancy Pelosi has said. Let's start with the one they trotted out and hid behind, Congressman Jack Murtha. Yes , Mr, Murtha served in Viet Nam. Yes, Mr. Murtha was wounded and received the Purple Heart. So what, that does'nt make one damn little bit of difference in this matter. Honorable deeds done in the past, are just that. Something that one participated in or did a long time ago. Certainly this is not to say he shouldn't be remembered or honored for those deeds, he should be. But calling for a pullout in the middle of war, a war that by any objective standards we are winning. Yes, I said winning, is absolutely one of the worst actions that I have ever seen taken by a United States federal elected official. That is until this same man, Congressman Jack Murtha comes out and says that the military is broken. With United States Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen currently in combat one of their own Congressmen, comes out and tells the world our military is broken. Now lets throw in all the shameful, no strike that, disgraceful things said and done by various other Leaders in the democrats party. Lets stop all this now. There was no doubt in nineteen ninety-eight and nine, that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Both parties agreed and did so publically. So did most of the civilized governments around the world. There was no doubt in two thousand-three about weapons of mass destruction, either. Again, leaders in both parties knew this along with the rest of the world. Forget the United Nations opinion. Anyone, at least anyone with an I.Q above room temperature knows now the U.N. is finished. The organization has zero credibility. Most of us have realized this for years. Let them go hand out and distribute food and medical supplies, and this should only be allowed with adult supervision. I don't want them on the continent, much less in our country. And forget Vanity Fare covergirl Plame and that goofy husband hanging on her skirt. Those two clowns remind me of Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 or one Jethro Bodine's double naught spies, for you youngsters, refer to TV Land. Back to the democrats ( Nationally elected ones) what they are doing has gone way past politics, with their fellow travellers in main stream old media they are dancing with the devil. And many are skirting and flirting with TREASON, and I don't believe we should be skittish about it. If this were reality or say 1944 around early June and these same antics were going on same said people would be run out of the country or tied to a post, given a cigarette and asked if they had any last words to say. And yes it was proper to offer the condemned a cigarette, back then. Cordially,

The laptop I'm typing on has more processing power than the first spacecraft that I watched land on the moon, thirty odd years ago. Television, there are now hundreds of channels to choose from, yet most folks I know rarely watch more than two or three. And generally the same two or three. Courtesy , civility and just good manners seem to be concepts that are long gone. Half of this Great Nation is in diametrical opposition with the other half. Schools are no longer teaching history. Kids, even college kids can't place World War Two in the right century, let alone right decade. I have to wonder just what does this portend for us as a Nation ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18856998-113331942989003355?l=acmeliberation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acmeliberation.blogspot.com/feeds/113331942989003355/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18856998&amp;postID=113331942989003355' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18856998/posts/default/113331942989003355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18856998/posts/default/113331942989003355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acmeliberation.blogspot.com/2005/11/different-world-continued.html' title='Different World continued'/><author><name>Rick Hoffman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17205863800064890907</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18856998.post-113314248875205307</id><published>2005-11-27T17:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-11-27T17:48:08.786-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Different World</title><content type='html'>This is such a different world than the one I grew up in. In some ways that's a very good thing. Agriculture and medical advances have been such that in the not to distant future , I would not be surprised that the average life expectancy would reach one hundred years. That's really some achievment if you think about it. Right now I believe life expectancy is at the mid to late seventies, when my parents were born, in the early  nineteen twenties they could expect to live to their fifties. Of course the early twentieth century saw more technological advancement and social change than any other period of history. Just think how little and how slow the march of progress was from the time of Christ to the late nineteenth century. Then , &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;BOOM&lt;/span&gt; you have cars , airplanes, skyscrapers medical and technological advances happening so fast people can't keep track. I think about that period and I've got to wonder what it must have been like to be say , forty-five or fifty years old. My Grandfather was born in eighteen eighty four , his Father in eighteen fifty nine. Living in rural  West Texas neither of those men could have even dreamed what the future had in store for them. They were still horseback till nearly nineteen twenty. My Grandfather lived till nineteen  fifty four , his Father preceding him in death in fourty four. My Dad was born in nineteen twenty two , already in the army when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor ( he was a Sargent then ) he went on to be an officer in the Strategic Air Comand. Horseback to the moon , wow what a ride that musta been. My Dad's Grandfather born before the Civil War , and mine born during the time Geronimo was still tear assin' round the Southwest. And even though I was only eleven, I and my family were able to witness a man step on the moon , and..and listen to him talk to us while he was doing it !

The man made a fool of himself. I think at this stage of things , and it seems to be happening around the world , civil discourse about matters of grave importance just seem to fall off the tracks of sanity . So called progressives ( liberals ) when confronted by facts and truth , no longer try to argue back with ideas that have weight and merit. No , when confronted with an argument and you know your'e on the wrong side , simply keep saying that isn't true . When confronted with all the accomplishments that our fine , brave troops have made in that ass backwards , stone age hell hole known as Iraq , what did Parson Edgar say... huh , yeah thats right .

Honorable feats done in one's youth ,  are... just that ,  something that you did or participated in a long time ago .  Certainly this is not to suggest that you should not be remembered , and honored for those feats .  But they don't make you omniscient and they certainly don't make your opinions infallable . If you have'nt caught on yet , I'm talking about this current verbal war since the democrats trotted Rep. John Murtha out on the house floor to call for the immediate withdrawl of our Troops from Iraq .  They ( the dems ) act as though this man is beyound reproach . You can't question him , my gosh ! He's been wounded in battle . Does'nt quite sound right , does it . I did not agree at the beggining , with the war.

I'm sure once I get beyond the starting gate , things will run a bit smoother , I hope !
   I keep hearing bits and pieces of news , about  governmental control of the internet . God help us all . Wheather it be control from the U.S. gov't. or the United Nations , get active write your lawmakers and tell them hands off ! The internet is pure enterprise , liberty at work .
