I am not the 'social' conservative that you are but I truly appreciate how you (and Denise) argue your points and represent conservatives in those areas (particularly). Arguing and emotive topic with an emotive thinker (liberal) is so difficult. Kudos!

The two things I absolutely abhor are lying and hypocrisy.

Changing your mind is one thing - blatant hypocrisy, especially after it being pointed out but is continued, is another.

I always enjoy reading your blogs.

This is so appropriate right now:

A statesman is one who thinks of the next generation.
A politician is one who thinks of the next election.

Thanks for all of the info that you put up here.

Changing your mind is one thing [based on new FACTS & REASON, not emotions and pandering] - blatant hypocrisy, especially after it being pointed out but is continued, is another.

But liberals can zero in on Bush's "hypocrisy" / "inconsistency" in pardoning Libby, yet say hardly a word against Clinton's pardons (disclaimer, just in case someone did happen to mention anything against one of Clinton's pardons).

Until Democrats quit their hypocrisy, I won't listen to them. I don't find them credible. They spend so much time in hindsight (Vietnam & their loser mentality) that I can't respect their positions (or them most of the time). They should quit looking at their behinds and deal with reality. They promoted this war as much as Republicans; now deal with the consequences. Don't constantly make statements that the terrorists use as propaganda (i.e., stop acting like Jane Fonda), and stop pandering to wacky voters by saying "Out now" but knowing that we can't leave without dire consequences. Tell voters the truth instead of lies.

"Draft Zell Miller into the Presidential Field" (Dick Yarbrough)

I wish to say a word about the current crop of people running for president of the United States. The word is "ugh!" There's not a pony in the pile.

Maybe it doesn't matter who is president. After all, we have survived one of the most inarticulate presidents in our history, who in turn had replaced one of the most libidinous. Even former President Carter occupied the office, so how hard can it be?

Still, I'd like to be able to sleep soundly at night thinking there was a dynamic, clear-eyed, don't-tread-on-me-or-I'll-kick-your-fanny-to-the-moon kind of leader with his or her hand on the red phone. Somebody who would tell Congress in no uncertain terms to quit posturing and go to work and who would let the terrorists know in 50 words or less that they had better start rounding up the 47 virgins or whatever they believe they will find awaiting them in heaven, because if they keep running their mouths, they are going to see them sooner rather than later.

That candidate does not currently reside among the blah crowd of Republicans and Democrats now seeking the office of president. What you have are a group of politically correct talking heads who smile a lot and tell you what they think you want to hear, hoping you will be dumb enough to vote for them. There is more plastic in that bunch than in most folks' wallets.

Well, I have the answer. I am starting a Draft Zell Miller for President campaign.

Remember, you read it here first. The man is such a natural for the job, I'm surprised nobody thought of it before I did, but being smarter than the average bear is why I get the big bucks. Besides, just the mention of his name as a presidential candidate would make a couple of people I know apoplectic. That alone would be worth the effort.

Zell has all the credentials. He went to Washington as a lifelong Democrat, but voted like a Republican when he got there. To my knowledge, he is the only man who has ever given the keynote address at a Democratic National Convention and at a Republican National Convention. Granted, his oratory helped elect the libidinous president as well as the inarticulate one, but nobody's perfect.

Some people will bring up his age as an issue. He is 75. By most standards - including mine - he still is a young man. Ronald Reagan was 70 when he went to Washington to clean up the mess made by President Peanut and his crowd of goobers.

Zell is a Marine. With the greatest respect to the men and women of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard, the Marines are a different breed.

A group of young Marines with whom I was traveling to Iraq were refused service at a local fast-food restaurant during a stopover in Germany because the manager said it was closing time and they were too late. One of the Marines - in the politest voice possible - asked the owner to please reconsider that decision. Otherwise, they would tear the place down and drag the manager's body to some place where it would never be found. The manager wisely reconsidered. They ate, left a nice tip and quietly went back to the base. You've got to like the Marines.

Zell Miller would be the only candidate who wouldn't suck up to the media bullies. He once threatened to beat up one of those smirky liberal cable guys on national television - and could have done it, too.

[Read the transcript of Chris Matthews' interview of Sen. Zell Miller on MSNBC's Hardball -- the same Matthews who ambushed Ann Coulter.]

[See the video: Sen. Zell Miller Slams Chris Matthews – Part 1

Sen. Zell Miller Slams Chris Matthews – Part 2]

Remember, he is a Marine. He probably could whip the entire staff of The New York Times. If he did, that would get him more votes from grateful Americans than all the rest of the candidates combined.

I'm probably wasting my time, because Zell Miller doesn't want the job and wouldn't take it if you gave it to him on a silver platter. He'd rather be enjoying his family and the beautiful scenery in Young Harris.

I can't disagree with his reasoning, but just in case he needs encouragement: Run, Zell, run. Your nation needs you.

Now, there's one Democrat (as well as Lieberman) who "gets it" about this war.

"Those Pesky Peaceniks" (7/11/07)

CodePink -- "an anti-war group [wacky feminists] founded by Bay Area activists [San FranSICKOs] and known for colorful and theatrical protests -- is turning up the pressure on congressional Democrats."

** "Code Pink Undermines War on Terror" ** (1/29/07)

I'll choose to believe people such as John J. Tierney rather than Code Pink appeasers any day.

"Old Broads for Peace" -- Well, at least they're realists in one area.

I would campaign for Zell Miller in a heartbeat. Zell said he didn't abandoned the Democratic Party that the Democratic party abandoned him.

He resigned rather than break a promise to switch parties. He is a man of great character.

I wish he would run, but he won't. Okay - let's see what Thompson has.

Good blog.

I started several fires on the boards and angered the usual suspects so feel free to jump in anywhere with both feet.

That Rick Ryckeley blog I left you - did it make my butt look big?

Do you want to see some current examples of liberal media bias? Click Here.

is the best governor this state has ever had !!!!!! I would vote for him for president if only.........*sigh*

I just don't think that he has enough fire to inspire. Whoops! Been reading too many Code Pink slogans.

He didn't seem to work very hard in the Senate. What do you think about his not voting to impeach Clinton?

Your "several fires" keep me too busy reading to respond.

Your response about Rick R made me laugh.

"did it make my butt look big?" -- NOT YOU TOO!!!!

(A new response to liberals: Stop looking at your behinds!)

Just watch the John Edwards' "Pretty" video, and you'll throw away the mirror.

Looking at those Code Pink "broads" and reading what they're really like makes me want to burn anything pink that I own.

Did you notice the similarities of all peace-niks (Tierney's article) and how they use "peace" to dupe their followers?

"Code Pink is selective in its criticism."

"Being a leftist means you never have to explain the connection: Simply assert it."

"The worst part of the ideology of the left is not its blindness to evidence. It is the way it deliberately manipulates innocent people."

"To be a woman is to be a peacemaker." -- That's why Coulter called Edwards what she did, but the satire just can't be understood by the liberal mind.

Have you seen the picture with "Follow the Yellow Streak Road"? You have to look at the Home Page for the picture. I would have pictured Pelosi as the witch, but Murtha as the Lion is funny and Tin Man Reid is too. Who's the Scarecrow?

"The Dems are a sorry bunch. On one hand, they don't have the courage to stand up to the whacko libs and they don't have the courage to legislate an end to the war on the other."
