    Perry,

    That was a great quote. I, too, agree with the author. I don't know who Paul Wilcox is, but the author of that great piece is Phyllis Schlafly: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=62483

    "Phyllis Schlafly is a lawyer, conservative political analyst and the author of the newly revised and expanded "Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It." Schlafly also is founder and president of Eagle Forum."

    Well said. John Glenn was the real deal. That exchange actually took place on the campaign trail in Ohio in 1974, when John Glenn defeated appointed incumbent Metzenbaum to begin his career in the US Senate.

    My Dad was a Pearl Harbor attack survivor. His job was courier, running between buildings carrying messages during the bombing, as the power and phone lines were knocked out. I was Army, spent time in East Berlin and East Germany in the early 70's. Learned a lot about the meaning of freedom from those people who had none.

    A few gems from George Orwell:

    "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

    "Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

    "All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting."


    G'night, all.

    My Dad was the hero; I was a Cold War warrior; never had to shoot, never got bombed or shot at for real. The real heroes of that time were the people who risked everything to cross over and under the Berlin Wall.
