One of my many interests is reading other peoples opinions,not cut and paste opinions from some left leaning rag that Rmaven has read recently,but opinions from real people.So post your opinion or a letter to the editor like this one here.I particularly like this one as I just happen to agree with it...LOL


Bush speech made me proud to be an American
Jan. 29, 2003 Orange County Register Letters to the Editor



I've been privileged to hear the State of the Union addresses - either in live broadcasts or video or radio recording - of every president from Theodore Roosevelt to the present. I have also been privileged to meet five presidents.

None of them was faced with tougher decisions than President George Bush has faced. His speech brought tears to my eyes because I could see in his eyes, as well as sense in his manner, the sincere humility behind the words.

His was not a speech of self-aggrandizement but one of a man who has risen to the challenge of history and, if supported, will lead our country in a manner that we will be able to one day look back at and say that we were there and supported his leadership with our prayers, hearts and lives.

President Bush reminded me a bit of President Harry Truman, a man who didn't seek greatness but was faced with having to make great decisions.

President Bush's State of the Union address was the finest I have ever heard. More important than just the words a speech writer wrote was the fact that God is real in our president's life.

We have a president who actually reads and follows the Bible, who prays daily, who tries to live his life in a manner that glorifies our creator. That simply means that he will never recklessly jeopardize our lives and only place us at peril when the evidence makes it absolutely necessary.

I am prouder than ever to be an American and to have George Bush as my president.

and these "real" people that i read and post are different then the "real" people that you read, are because of what? i read from the left and you ead from the right and we are both biased.

notice i used no adjectives to describe your readings from the right. do you think your "real" people are any the less biased than my "real" people.?

NY Times 30 Jan 03

Re "Calling Iraq a Serious Threat, Bush Vows That He'll Disarm It, and Also Rebuild U.S. Economy" (front page, Jan. 29):

President Bush, by pairing his declarations of freedom for all the world with a near-declaration of war, reveals something far grander than self-defense in his doctrine of pre-emptive war. There is a messianic spirit here.

This young president, who has not seen war himself and who is surrounded by advisers with dreams of remaking the world in our image (or at least in our interests), suggests a man who has discovered his mission and is gripped by the certainties of the divinely appointed.

This does not affirm America's greatness. A great nation does not trumpet its greatness, its rightness, its power. It doesn't preach and impose. It listens and leads. It understands that implied power is always greater than applied power.

A great nation lives humbly among the poor and the powerless. And understands the limits of power.

Rick,I read both the OC Register and the LA Times on an almost daily basis from The Front page to the funnies.Even you can't argue that these two have very different points of view while reporting the exact same stories.I don't however take anything from your obviously slanted websites to heart.I watch the Fox news channel because it is the absolute closest you can get to being balanced but I will watch the others as well.I like Dennis Miller and David Letterman.Jay Leno hasn't been funny in years,mostly cause he aint no Johnny Carson and never will be.

aaaand last but not least,I voted for Clinton Dammit!First term only,definitely not for his 2nd.I was young/foolish and looking for a change and trust me he didn't dissapoint us with change,after all thats what he promissed us.What a f_in looser!

God Bless America and God Bless our President.
