A rendezvous with destiny
April 26th, 2007 at 11:03 am . by nukeAs the democrat party wrings their hands in a desperate attempt to decide upon an official date of surrender in Iraq, I am reminded by a speech by Ronald Reagan, some 43 years ago…
Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace–and you can have it in the next second–surrender.
Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face–that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender.
Much has changed over the past four decades since Reagan gave told us that we have a “rendezvous with destiny. “
Unfortunately, the political left has not changed their first and basic instinct of appeasement. Their policies are dangerous, and a clear and present threat to the security of the Republic. President Bush will veto their surrender bill. That rendezvous that Reagan spoke of is drawing near.
Well, all the democrats but one. Lieberman: One Choice in Iraq, GP has the video (h/t n2l)

Swampie, you really need to download those programs I mentioned.
The IObit defragger is so cool!
Once installed, you can click on the auto-defrag feature on the left, and it shows, on a graph, the constant defragging process, how much of your disk is in use, and how much of your CPU is in use.

Rebellious?
If your pickemup truck has an airbag in the steering wheel(not behind it), your injuries will be even more severe, if the bag is deployed, and you’re not wearing a restraint. Broken legs fo’sho, and probably massive fractures to the upper body and face.
I’ve always worn them, since my Dad installed them on his favorite Buick, before they were required by law to be installed. He raced cars professionally, before I was born.
Also, I have waded through too many gallons of blood while investigating car accidents, to not ever wear mine.

Shouldn’t I have the right to die from not wearing a seatbelt? I used to wear a seatbelt all the time until it became mandatory. Now I don’t. Just rebellious, I guess.

100,000 Americans die every year from mismatched pharmacuticals.
50,000 die in car crashes, 40,000 because they weren’t wearing seatbelts.

Great piece by Amir Taheri.
Desparately Seeking Defeat In Iraq.
It is possible that Reid imagined that his analytical problems are over simply because he has identified the loser in this war. The truth is that his troubles are only beginning. He must tell Americans to whom they wish their army to surrender in Iraq.
That Reid is desperately trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is not surprising. His party requires an American defeat in Iraq in order to win the Congressional and presidential elections next year.

Harry Reid through history
See the proud tradition of Harry Reid through the prism of American conflicts: Valley Forge, Tippecanoe, etc.

One of the fires that was a lil’ nearer to me that was “out” two or three weeks ago blazed up and got into unburned timber today, too.

Yeah, the kids have gotten to school maybe 2 days in the last two weeks.
/And there would be three more weeks of school…if they got to go. One of the elementary schools had to have school in a church due to smoke damage at the school. Hope nobody from the ACLU has a heart attack over that one.
