It is so interesting to me that such obvious truths can go unrecognized-- I
really believe that it is a reflection of blind partisanship. The Left simply
cannot allow itself to see the plain truth-- the person of George W. Bush is
too much of a mental stumbling block for them. If it were Al Gore in power,
the truth would be all too obvious.
I mean, look at the utterly insane filibuster the Democrats are inflicting upon
the Miguel Estrada nomination-- what are they possibly thinking? If ever there
were a poster boy for the American success story, it would be him. He didn't
even speak English when he got to the US, for crying out loud! And now the
Democrats are trying to block him from achieving what no Hispanic has ever
done- how blindly partisan can they be? Don't they know that this most
certainly will boomerang and kill them politically among Hispanics? Their
partisan stupidity is almost beyond belief. The Democratic party is literary
self-destructing before our very eyes!

Very well put, Mike! And the only way peace will ever have any hope of
fruition is when there is a strong and free America that can act to maintain a
balance of nations. Though that might sound patronizing, it works. The
stronger we are, the safer and more stable the entire world will be.
