Letters to the Editor

Well heha!! The opinion piece written by Joel Tagert regarding the Republican National Convention was just, how can I say this, a good old fashioned heap of cow dung sprinkled with a dash of liberal hatred. It's so good to know that our liberal friends in general and our zany Socialist anti-capitalists in particular are still without any substantive, inspiring or dare I say (dare, dare) reality based ideas regarding how to govern this country.

Blissful ignorance is one thing but blatant and childish stupidity is quite another. Let's review...Bush gets sworn in and inherits a recession from...yes democrat Bill Clinton (only our 2nd US president to get impeached).

Ah the good ole days. Only 8 months into the Bush presidency (close your eyes Mr. Tagert this might cause you undue socialist pangs) 9/11 happens. So...what have we gotten from President Bush? He gave us an across the board tax cut that pulled us out of the recession (tax cuts always do that...something even John Kennedy understood). He decisively engaged the enemy who killed over 3000 of our citizens (which is a point always lost by our zany Socialist friends) and rightly determined that support or sponsorship of terrorists is likened to being a terrorist.

He along with Senator Kennedy (who doesn't like Olympic swimming) gave us the largest education spending bill in our history. He set up our Home Land Security department, gave seniors their coveted prescription drug coverage and is going to yet give more grant money for kiddies to go to college. Wow!! What have the liberals done for our country during this period?

Humm, oh yes, there was the Richard Clark book bashing President Bush, the Michael (I love Marx) Moore movie bashing President Bush (and making money on the 9/11 tragedy), there was the two "60 Minutes" pieces bashing President Bush, there was the six week media frenzy bashing President Bush for his National Guard service, need I mention Al Frankin, Bruce Springsteen and oh yea Linda Rondstadt.

This is why capitalism, our American spirit and yes Mr. Tagert hardy individualism is so productive in the U.S. Republicans understand that when you release individual effort to seize opportunity great things happen. Liberals can only whine, whine and whine...why was Marx so wrong they lament!

Your unfortunate lack of perspective leaves me only to conclude that you really haven't digested how brilliant our Constitution is nor how exceptional the citizens of this country are.

Pity.
