The Courage of Sam Bird

Friday, November 11th, 2005

I once read a story in Reader’s Digest about a soldier who had served in Viet Nam and was wounded terribly.

Friday, October 14th, 2005

Leave it to liberal America to desecrate a cherished American symbol of sacrifice and honor: For almost a century, the gold star has been a symbol — both of national pride and of a parent’s worst nightmare.

This is a poem submitted to me by my wife, Rene. She is understandably proud of her father’s long and distinguished career in the Air Force, from which he retired a full-bird Colonel. He spent over a year in Laos on a top secret assignment where his job was to make sure that the military [...]

Yet another “celebrity” has come out to support Cindy Sheehan, and says that President Bush should meet with her: What is this president so afraid of?

Cindy Sheehan: Something Stinks Here

Monday, August 8th, 2005

Something is fishy about Cindy Sheehan’s 180 degree turnaround in her feelings about the President: The mother of a fallen U.S. soldier who is holding a roadside peace vigil near President Bush’s ranch — has dramatically changed her account about what happened when she met the commander-in-chief last summer! Cindy Sheehan, 48, of Vacaville, Calif., [...]
