If I live and breathe, and if–as Hank Williams used to say–the creek don’t rise, in 2004 this Democrat will do something I didn’t do in 2000, I will vote for George W. Bush for president.

I have come to believe that George Bush is the right man in the right place at the right time. And that’s a pretty big mouthful coming from a lifelong Democrat who first voted for Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and has voted for every Democratic presidential candidate the 12 cycles since then. My political history to the contrary, this was the easiest decision I think I’ve ever made in deciding who to support. For I believe the next five years will determine the kind of world my four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren will live in.

There You Go Again

Well, the liberals are at it again, trying to find yet another way to belittle and bash the biggest threat to the left in American history: Ronald Reagan. In the upcoming CBS miniseries on the Reagans, the scriptwriters, actors, director, etc. alternate turns taking the hatchett to the best American president in the 20th century.

First off, they cast Barbara Streisand’s husband, James Brolin, as Reagan. Now, surely, that should be setting off alarm bells by itself.

Have a little fun

I do recommend you try this at home.

What to do in a conversation with someone who doesn’t believe in retaliation to terrorist attacks:

  1. When someone says military force is inappropriate ask “How come?”
  2. Wait until he says “Because that would cause more innocent deaths and we should not cause more violence”
  3. When he’s in mid-sentence punch him in the face as hard as you can.
  4. When he gets back up to punch you, point out that it would be contrary to his values to strike you and cause more violence.
  5. Wait until he agrees.
  6. Punch him again, harder this time.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 until he realizes that sometimes it’s necessary to fight back.
