The president's State of the Union address tonight was very good. Many pundits will disect the speech and I find no reason to go into it in detail.
The Democratic response is much more interesting to me. Even before the SOTU Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were criticizing it at the National Press club.

Please consider a donation to World Vision a Christian relief organization to help those countries devastated by the tsunami last week. I decided on World Vision because of its Christian mission and because I didn't feel I could trust the Red Cross after their post 9/11 problems and the anti-American stance taken by the International Committee.

OK. Why is not pertinent to the issue of the alleged execution of a terrorist in Fallujah that the man behind the camera was "held captive for several hours by Iraqi Fedayeen who accused them of being spies. His hands were bound behind his back and an AK-47 round fired at his feet"? (thanks Hugh Hewitt)

Chrissy Matthews, when he isn't kissing his wife's butt on "Hardball" (sheesh...see last night's broadcast to become truly ill), opines that the bloodthirsty, cowardly, inhuman beasts that the Marines are fighting in Fallujah are "not bad guys especially, just people that disagree with us.

One of the big issues that the Republicans need to tackle aggressively is border control. After discovering a way to monitor the mind-boggling number of shipping containers that enter US ports every day, the most important problem is sealing the southern border with Mexico.

Why are the Democrats no longer capable of winning national elections?
That is what they are asking themselves these days. Can they find solace in the fact that they won a plurality of the vote in 1992, 1996 and 2000? Perhaps. But the last time a Democratic candidate for president won a majority of the vote was Jimmy Carter (ughh) in 1976.

When the dust settles and the pundits look back at what swayed this election towards the president I think that the turn-out of Christians for Bush will be seen as the offsetting factor to anti-war fervor of the Dems.

President Bush gets a small edge in the debate last night. His message was more direct, confident and consistent than Kerry.

Dan Rather, who if he had one ounce of integrity would have resigned by now, unbelievably continues the below the belt smear campaign against the president (from NRO via Allah).

The world lost a giant today.
I have two Ronald Reagan stories that stick in my mind.
In 1976 as Reagan fought an uphill battle with President Ford for the Republican nomination, I, a 16 year old high school student, became an ardent supporter. During the course of that summer I had a number of political conversations with my grandmother (who died a few years later).
She had always Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01495077826566648560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980071.post-1086408900318457622004-06-04T22:38:00.000-05:002004-06-04T23:15:00.316-05:00ENEMY MINE
I am the enemy.
I am the enemy of the left wing KPFT Pacifica Radio crowd. Part of the ignorant, uneducated, fundamentalist Christian, reactionary, brownshirt crowd that blindly supports President Bush out of fear...and greed...and racist tendencies. I want to choke the world with pollutants...I am the reason that the French view us with contempt.

I frequently listen to KPFT radio in Houston - a Pacifica Radio affiliate. In case you are unfamiliar with the "Resistance Radio" group here is a little explanation of the history from their website:

Amidst all of the commotion over the mistreatment of prisoners in Iraq the point is lost. The acts were disclosed months ago - the fact that pictures of the abuse existed was the only thing that was withheld. All of the calls for Rumsfeld's removal are just so much political grandstanding.
Of course we should (and we will) punish those responsible for the criminal behavior.

I think this speaks for itself:
"The Ungovernable Shiites" (National Review via Little Green Footballs).
Unfortunately the mainstream media would rather reprint Arab propaganda than cover the sickening reality of Islamic exremism.

Wretchard of the Belmont Club, as usual, sees the situation clearly:

From "Healing Iraq":

But maybe we do need to be reminded of why we fight. I heard a couple of imbeciles on the local Pacifica Radio station talking about conscientious objectors to the war this morning.

This quote, as was the one in the previous post, is from Michael Lind's Vietnam: The Necessary War:

While Teddy D. and his radical left buddies are tossing around accusations about the administration's "misleading" case for the war (and their more disturbing subtle charges that Bush somehow knew about 9/11 and did nothing) they should take this into account:

A few notes on recent events:
