In the Company of Heroes
Just sitting here thinking about the war.
I have two friends who are in Iraq fighting the war right now. They will both be there for several more months.
.
So far 10 other friends are getting ready to go to various places to fight the war on terror. I watched "Black Hawk Down" this afternoon. Got me to thinking about what those guys are getting into, and what might be in store for me in the future.
I have no desire to be a hero, but I hope that if a moment like that ever comes that I have the courage to do the right thing.
Serving with those who are called on, and willing, to defend this country makes me proud just to be associated with them. May God bless all our men and women who stand in harm's way to defend our families, and may God ever continue to bless the United States of America.
The Myth of Farenheit 9/11
Byron York has
a very interesting article at National Review Online.
Seems Michael Moore's "documentary" was not the smashing success he and the liberal media pretended that it was. In fact check out a few of the movies that had bigger opening weekends than "Farenhype": Barbershop 2, Mean Girls, Starsky & Hutch, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Alien vs. Predator, 50 First Dates, and several others.
The movie did do very well in Canada though. I know, I was surprised too.
"I Have Returned"
Hello friends. After an unintentional and somewhat self-imposed hiatus of 8 months, I'm back. For whatever reason I simply lost the spark to comment and share my opinions on things that were happening. But don't worry, I'm told I'm still just as opinionated as ever.
So, a lot has happened since last August. The biggest thing being that we won the election. The American people bolstered my faith in their intelligence and ability to do the right thing and make the right choices. To quote the title of Hugh Hewitt's book, "If It's Not Close They Can't Cheat". Well, it wasn't but that certainly didn't keep them from trying.
But, all's well that ends well. We've got at least four more years of sane leadership, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are going well, in fact, we may be out of there in just a few more years, things just keep getting better.
