Virgie Bell's View: The Afternoon After

Of course I watched and listened to the last State of the Union speech by President Bush last night. I will say this for him: he has done his best to fight the fight on terror. That’s the main consideration that weighs most on me and my family. Our military has always been my hero and will always be. I think that was the reason we were all Democratic Party members to begin with. FDR influenced us and without him behind our forces, who knows what would have happened. JFK only increased my loyalty, but after that it seems to have spiraled downward and did so at an alarming rate. When Desert Storm and Desert Shield happened, I was solidly behind Bush the elder, but it was Bill Clinton who finished me off on the Democratic Party. He was such a fake and such a liar, but it was not until his final hours that I gave up on the party and decided that my loyalty to my country would be first.

I know it looks bad for Giuliani, and I have regret for that now. He was a proven leader during 9/11 and if Clinton had been taking care of business, I feel the attack would never have occurred to start with. He did nothing with the first attack on the World Trade Center and ignored the USS Cole. The only effort he expended was to send a Scud Missile to an unpopulated place which destroyed some sand dunes and scared some camels. He turned down Bin Laden when he was offered to us on a silver platter by the Saudi Government. I am just about sick to death of the Clintons.

I do not want Obama because he said he was against this war to begin with. That is an absolutely insane remark, and after 9/11!! By all accounts, he looks to be the Democratic contender we’ll be stuck with, especially with Iran’s leader stating that the goal of that country was to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, and all Christians along with it. So now we are sitting ducks for this insane man and someone had better take care to do something first or we will be looking at a nuclear holocaust and the world will be changed forever. Civilization will be destroyed forever and I do wish my fellow countrymen would wake up to that fact. Hiroshima and Nagasaki was just a fire cracker compared to what we are facing. I think it will eventually happen no matter what but I hope it won’t be in my lifetime or in the lifetime of my family.

Bin Laden was betting that we would not strike back after 9/11 and told all the terrorists that we would not. He counted on someone like Bill Clinton and why not? Bill Clinton was a proven failure as far as defending us. I am a Texan by birth and I can tell you that is not something any Texan would sit still for. People made fun of our President because he said something to the effect of the old saying "Wanted Dead or Alive" and if ever anything was truth, that was it. Instead, we had someone like John Kerry who could not do anything but run our military down and Goofy-Ass Gore who had his own paid protector as he took pictures in Vietnam, and called that active duty. I am sick of that kind of stuff. So it does look like we might have John McCain as the Republican candidate. He said he would follow Bin Laden to the gates of hell, and that, dear reader is the number one issue. Otherwise, nothing else will count.

As far as the economy is concerned, it is the fault of the lenders and the borrowers. The Bible says to be neither one. At one time, as a single woman, making my own living, I had no credit cards and just a couple of charge accounts and those nearly did me in. Be careful, very careful what you charge. Credit is something that has doomed too many for us to ignore the swift downfall that it can cause. Jerry and I have nothing new to our name including cars, televisions, etc. We also do not owe one dime to anyone anywhere. This, dear reader is true happiness.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS!
