Mr. King,
Thank you for the quotes. So many seem to be wwritten especially for the circumstances we find ourselves in today. Today is a good day to reflect upon the fact that freedoms lost are usually lost permanently or until a new revolution occurs.

King, old Rev Red just can't see that Clark held up his decisions about dropping bombs on Bosnia as something more presidential than actually squeezing the trigger or dropping the bombs. One may be more presidential than the other but I am sure that McCain's actions take more just plain guts and that is what we need to closeout the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clark woud side with Obam about getting out as soon as possible in order to win some votes. I don't want McCain but I do see him as one who will do the right thing there and I don't see that in Obama or Clark.

I see that you and Quayle have discovered one of Obama's 57 states we didn't know about. LOL I am now anxiously the discovery of the other 6 of his states and wondering why he isn't allowed by his staff to go to Hawaii.

This is a very special day in our nation's history and I really wonder just how many of our people know what is special about it. I too often see it celebrated as a day off from work, a day for feasting to gain some weight, sales at all kinds of chain stores with so very little real celebration other than the fireworks displays that make so much money for Chinese citizens.

Rev,
The part where Clark said McCain's military service doesn't automatically qualify him to be president wasn't the objectionable part of Clark's comments. You are arguing the wrong point.

da truth,
Glad to hear you were considering the Libertarians. That is the party I have the most affinity with, though I disagree with them on a few things too (like nominating Bob Barr, what an awful choice, which I'm certain they did only because he has some name recognition. Sellouts).

Watching these politicians bob and weave to the left and the right to try to get votes just about sickens me. McCain and Obama have both done it. McCain moved to the right to get the Republican nomination (what a blunder to pick him as the nominee), and Obama was out on the left in the Democratic primaries to get the nomination, and now he's moving back to the center for the general election. Both candidates are really playing the public for fools. I don't mind if a candidate changes his mind on an issue or two, that's normal, but what's going here is quite transparent and dishonest.

Reverend how many times are you going to argue that so and so was absolutely right but Obama was also right to throw him under the bus before you get tired of it all?

King, I look forward to your post on Mr. McCain. I admit it is troubling that Mr. Obama has flipped so quickly, but I see that as worse than Mr. McCain because Mr. McCain quickly flipped on things he had believed for years. I think it is more difficult to make such a flip than something you have only been saying for a couple of months.

The one that disturbs me the most is how can he flip on legislation that has his name on it? That troubles me to no end. You also make an excellent point about Mr. Barr….and that happened when I was seriously considering becoming an L. Oh well.

Roy,
One thing I won't do is degrade the military record of Wesley Clark, as Clark has degraded McCain's. I'll unload on Kerry the fake every day and twice on sundays, but Clark served his country for 34 years, and he was shot four times in Vietnam while leading an infantry battalion. He kept directing his troops after being shot, and received the silver star for that.

That makes Clark's comments about McCain all the more sad. He should know better.

This is what I said….

"I would also point out that the GOP, and it's supporters, have had a change of heart vis-a-vis 2004……when it was perfectly acceptable to savage a Vietnam war hero for political gain. McCain actually had a Swiftboater on stage with him recently."

Then you say….

"McCain condemned the Swiftboaters for going after Kerry."

Did not the GOP, and it's supporters, you amongst them, savage Kerry, a decorated war hero? Hell, you did it again in your comment.

Did McCain have a Swiftboater on stage with him a couple days ago?

I remain.

frank,
That last comment of yours was just daft. McCain spent 5 1/2 years in the Hanoi Hilton - sick, busted up, isolated, and tortured. I think you'd be real hard pressed to find someone who had a worse time of it.
