The Most Patriotic Speech I've Seen Since Reagan Told Gorby "Tear Down these Walls"
[Read the article: "America's Constitution is in grave danger"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I hated Reagan's politics, but his speech at the wall in Germany was spectacular, it was and could be seen by the world. It had a profound impact on world history. It was possibly the crowning achievement of American foriegn policy.
Looking at todays speech by Al Gore, who I have not had a great deal of affection for was a speech given by a man coming into his own. I wanted him to desperately beat GeoBush in 2000, but he didn't look comfortable in his skin. The man I saw today had a grasp of the issues and had clarity of focus that was very Bill Clintonish, minus the glad handing and the smiles. If he had spoken like this in 1999 GeoBush would be hawking something somewhere on a website.
What a shame it was only seen on the SPAN. Thanks to Buzzflash.Com for alerting me to watch it. I hope the Salon team can get this video streamed here somehow. If this speech is seen by 20% of America Gore is the frontrunner for President in 2008 tomorrow. This is what a political Grand Slam sounds like. Find it on video somehow and see what a real leader looks and sounds like. The Democrats should use this as their reply to the State of the Union Address. Harry Reid (who is my Senator and I love him) looks like an ametuer next to Al Gore, Joe Biden like the class clown. Wes Clark as Al Gore's VP in '08?
Stranger things have happened, if you don't believe me; look at who lives in the White House now.

Wasted lives
[Read the article: Mother inferior]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This story really made my day.
Thank God I have my mother.
These two sound so selfish.
They were mirrors of each other.
No honesty in either of them, just selfish private thoughts they kept to themselves.
If anyone hasn't called their parents for a while, make today the day.
When you call, say hello and smile. Then listen to the little voice inside you. It will assist you.
Love God. Be Nice
