I think Teddy Roosevelt said it best!
Teddy had it right!!
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

John Kerry Stopped by Police in Jacksonville
On any given weekend on the southside area of Jacksonville known as Mandarin, one can encounter cyclists cluttering the road, Mandarin Road that is.
The cyclists are supposed to stay in single file when riding but they do not. I have responded to many calls of this nature in that area which amounts to a big waste of police resources. Sometimes an officer has to respond from as far away as 10 miles. When an officer gets to the area of the complaint, the cyclists are gone. My point here is that motorists and cyclists need to work together. Manadrin Rd. is not as heavily traveled as some other roads in that area and is a beautiful, tree canopy lined stretch of winding road that is favored by cyclists. Once or twice a week is not a big thing. Have some patience people. Lets keep each other safe.
It's no wonder John Kerry wanted to do the cycle thing while he and wife Teresa were in the area raising funds. That stretch of road is beautiful. No doubt though, the funds are for a possible presidential bid in 2008. Oh stop it! You know that's what it is for! Well If I had my choice of Kerry or Clinton, it would be.............neither!
I think if I had stopped Mr. Kerry, I would have gotten his autograph......
ON A TRAFFIC CITATION!
Haha, just kidding. I probably would have debated him on some issues.
Good Day

Rally For Rahman
What is this? Afghanistan is supposed to now be free. Hey I'm the farthest thing from a liberal. There is something terribly wrong with putting someone to death for believing in whatever religion they want.
I guess it is hard to see as we live in this wonderful country of so many freedoms. Cam Edwards and those who showed up for the rally in Washington should be commended for their efforts and standing up to the MSM Loopies.
Also check out the video of Cam Edwards telling it like it is. Video presented by "Age of Hooper (The)"

Guess this one ended up OK for Rahman.
Great Job Cam Edwards

Ridiculed for Patriotism
Had this forwarded to me in an email. Whether you agree with the war in Iraq or not, I think it reflects how a great majority of Americans feel. Love your country for all its good and bad. Remember those who have served and sacrificed to allow us the freedom to express ourselves in a forum such as this!
==============================================================
I Love This Comeback
One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here
in California.
He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people have
been to him and his troops. Everywhere he goes, telling me how people would
shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and
fight for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them also.
But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store where he stopped
yesterday on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several
people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when
she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S. Flag lapel pin
the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the pin,
and said proudly," Yes, I always wear it and probably always will."
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to
stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman
standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's
shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice
to the Iraqi woman:
"Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like this young man have
fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a
check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had
you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be
there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly
and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so
you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are obviously here
in MY country to avoid." Everyone within hearing distance cheered!
