I got this in my E-mail this morning. I don't think I need to asay anything else; it's pretty self-explanitory and I personally subscribe to every contention made in the piece. The only thing I would add is; note every location and the fact that EVERY. SINGLE. one. of the locations where these tragedies occurred was a "gun free" zone. AND every one of the perpretrators of the actions violated a number of gun control laws already on the books. Nuff' said.

I earlier put up a post endorsing Fred Thompson as my ideal Presidential candidate, but there was a paucity of reasons WHY I felt Mr. Thompson was the best man for the coming political battle.

But if you really listen to his views in this interview, I hope that you too will come to agree with me that Mr. Thompson should lead the ticket for the Republican party in '08:

I especially like his response on what he would do vis a vis Iraq, ie, continuing to do as President Bush has done and maintaining the current military actions, even though it may be a politically unpopular decision.

6 What do you think will happen to America in the nearest future? It seems to me that General Election in the USA looks starts to look like comedy show. Yesterday I found the following post in periodics: "The Naked Cowboy endorses McCain--ooookay The Naked Cowboy was just on tv saying he plans to endorse McCain. LOL I'm sure McCain's camp will relay that to him and I am sure it will mean all the difference to the outcome of the election. NOT! McCain's entire campaign has been a 3 ring circus. What happened there? Bozo the clown Bush would have been right at home if they had let him anywhere near them. ROFL How exactly does Bush show his face now that his entire party has disowned him? "

The anti-war Left is constantly trying to compare the present day conflict in Iraq with the Viet Nam war, and while I was going through some links from soldiers' reactions to Sen. Reid (T-NV) statements about how "we've lost the war", I cameupon this gem of an essay at Lincoln Heritage Institute's web site. It's long, but it's well worth the read. I put it up under the fold for those that don't want to follow the link. It's scary to realize just how the Left is willingly being used as pawns by the enemy against the better long term interests of the United States.

As Mr. Hollrah states at the end, I believe that when all is said and done, the Leftists/Democrats will have a lot to answer for when this conflict is finally resolved.

From Blackfive: Shadow Presidency. A MUST READ.

My take on it?:

"Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both." (emph. mine)

"This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects."

An Internet poll of nearly 100,000 people sponsored by NewsMax.com reveals that Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of Fred Thompson running for president in 2008.

The poll also disclosed that the former senator from Tennessee and “Law & Order” star would trounce all leading Republican candidates in a primary.

Considering that Thompson has not even announced that he would run for the Presidency,The results are somewhat surprising. The good news (to me, and apparently many others) is that he has begun assembling the core of a campaign team in preparation for a possible run.

Here are the poll questions and results:

1) What is your overall opinion of Fred Thompson?

Favorable: 94 percent
Unfavorable: 2 percent
No Opinion: 4 percent

2) Is Fred Thompson your candidate for president in 2008?

Yes: 77 percent
No: 23 percent

3) In the following field, who is your 2008 candidate?

John McCain: 1.66 percent
Condi Rice: 2.64 percent
Mike Huckabee: .99 percent (WHO??)
Mitt Romney: 4.14 percent
Rudy Giuliani: 7.53 percent
Fred Thompson: 62.54 percent
Tom Tancredo: 2.78 percent
Ron Paul: 1.25 percent (double:WHO?)
Newt Gingrich: 12.25 percent
Duncan Hunter: 1.23 percent
Sam Brownback: .97 percent
Other: 1.99 percent

4) In a Republican primary of the following, who would you vote for?

Rudy Giuliani: 7 percent
John McCain: 2 percent
Newt Gingrich: 13 percent
Fred Thompson: 78 percent

5) If the 2008 President race was between Fred Thompson & Hillary Clinton, who would you vote for?

Fred Thompson: 98.7 percent
Hillary Clinton: 1.3 percent
(WHEW! If this ratio would hold true in the election; talk about a MANDATE!!)

For me, the dream ticket would be Thompson/Tancredo, what about you?

I'm a little angry right now. Someone I really respect crossed a line that I believe shouldn't have been crossed while perpretrating his annual April 1st blogprank.

In all other respects, I thought that the prank was masterfully done; indeed he managed to garner support from the Moonbat community in defense of his (supposed) views, which is equivilent to the chickens protecting Col. Sanders, and truly fun to watch.

BUT then Misha took that one step too far and in his "Ian" personna attacked the troops, calling them everything that the Moonbats used to apply to my generation of troops returning from Viet Nam...."baby killers", "murderers in uniform", "govt. backed rapists" etc,etc,etc.

I understand WHY Misha did it, to make his prank as authentic as possible, and I believe it was probably extremely difficult for him to put those words onto his cyber-paper, indeed, he stated in the comments of the reveal post of the prank that that action caused him to want to "bathe in acid to get the slime off".

And THAT is where my anger comes about...it's bad enough that there are those Moonbats honestly stoopid enough to espouse such garbage views...but to put them out in cyberspace in contradiction of every view you truly hold dear, for the furtherance of a prank.....I'm sorry Misha, but that "slimy feeling" you felt was deserved. In one sense, you were using the troops every bit as badly as Cindy Sheet-han did when she put up her "graveyard of the fallen' in Crawford; from a Moonbat, you expect it, but from YOU; it's a far drop indeed.
