If you have it [Love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you
don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.

YOU AIN'T GONNA LIKE LOSING
Got this from a gentleman in his 80's (and a DEMOCRAT!) who actually
lived thru those (and these) times. Agree or not, makes you stop and
think.
Everyone has a different opinion on the war and our current President.
But this article probably makes sense to those who remember. Read it
and give it some thought. What a difference 60+ years makes...!!!
'You Ain't Gonna Like Losing.' Author unknown
President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the
mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq Bush's mistake came
in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for
in WWII. It is not.
Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country
was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed
fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their
leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders. Therefore,
when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and
stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or
whether the war was going badly or not. And war was just as distasteful
and the anguish just as great then as it is today.
Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in
the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter the people stuck with the
President because it was their patriotic duty Americans put aside their
differences in WWII and worked together to win that war. Everyone from
every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children
pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort.
Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds
to help the effort.
Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition
trying their best to join the military. Women doubled their work to
keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline
to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining.
You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President.
Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and
entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile
countries and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made
upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And
a bunch even enlisted. And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually
started the day off with a Pledge of Allegiance, and with prayers for
our country and our troops!
Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots
in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage.
No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to
catch spies.
A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had
complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being 'tortured' by
being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation
by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning.
There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected
to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in
movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crack heads, dope
pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets.
No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism.
He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and
fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country
that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve.
It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and
Gomorrah and the land of Oz. We did unite for a short while after 9/11,
but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country
would require some sacrifices.
We are in great danger. The terrorists are fanatic Muslims. They
believe that it is okay, even their duty to kill anyone who will not
convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third or over
three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause.
Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential
recruits.
So...we either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall.

Is it just me, or does Barack Obama look like Count Chocula?!?

"When
I was a child, the only thing that got me going in the morning was a
good healthy dose of sugar and the occult. Nothing tops Count Chocula for delivering a quality breakfast product that is not only part of a balanced breakfast, but also a blast to eat." http://www.derok.net/derok/countchocula.html
I rest my case.

I thought I had seen every quirky curve ball life could throw at me
until the Army transports arrived to shut down the clown festival.
