I complain.

 I whine.

 I moan.

And then I bitch and complain all over again about the Hollywood bias that manifests itself nearly every day concerning a proud, pro-American point of view in your local cineplex.

It is a deadly serious problem that puts our troops in harm's way in the war theatre of Iraq, Afghanistan and the rest of the Middle East.

Andrew Breitbart, author and editor for the Drudge Report verbally cold-cocks David Erhenstein, a Lefty Hollywood blogger and journalist in a five day ideological duel sponsored by the LAT.

Here's a picture of my pal Andrew. Handsome devil, huh?

The cyberspace clash wasn't even close. Andrew is the clear-cut winner, even when I take off my partisan spectacles.

IT'S HAPPENING! Just as I predicted, although I hate being right about this.

 The anti-war sentiment is this country is spilling over to our troops who risk their lives to serve America. And it's happening in my backyard.

Iraqi war veterans returning from overseas treated like dirt at Oakland International airport.

Here's the e-mail that is causing outrage all across America.

But Media Matters is salivating over it's newest hit to the talk-titan...as usual, taking out of context remarks and manufacturing outrage over it.

It's the same group of people (crackpots with keyboards) who tried to get me fired, and the rest of the KSFO morning show .

Media Matters, a George Soros funded organization dropped it's grenade last week, feeding misquotes, out of context statements and outright lies to their attack dogs in the media and Congress. Now John Kerry and other left-wing democrats are amplifying their charges, and calling for a resolution of denunciation when the Senate resumes later today.

Sober minded scholars are pointing to the benchmarks established by the administration--metrics that can be quantified about why we are winning against the Islamic terrorists in Iraq.

From the Wall Street Journal and Fred Kagan is an excellent analysis.

Or maybe I should say that the chuckle truck pulled up over my comments about the (Ron) Paulestinians...feel free to add your own comments.

Well, somebody came up with a test to take to shake out where you are most ideologically aligned.

I took it.

The results showed that I'm closest to Senator John McCain.

Interesting. I never would have guessed that I'm such an ardent supporter of the good Senator. 

See for yourself.

And leave it to my friend Andrew Breitbart at Breitbart.tv to come up with the strangest reports.

I'll leave the commentary to you folks.

From the Politico.com and two liberal writers comes a piece berating the Democrats in Congress for NOT DOING ENOUGH (to undermine our troops in a time of war.)

If the consequences of failure weren't so enormous, I would have to laugh at the pathetic dynamic at work here.

If you've been checking my website for the past few days, you undoubtedly noticed a lack of postings. I caught that dreaded summer cold from the teenage unit, and I lost my voice. Not good, especially if you are a talk-show host.

However --the world continues to turn and the troops are continuing to win!

From MichelleMalkin.com comes this little tidbit --Cindy Sheehan missed her arraignment in Washington, D.C.

No doubt she's in San Francisco campaigning for Nancy Pelosi's seat.

NOT.

Bench warrant issued for Cindy Sheehan

Even if the mainstream media doesn't know it yet --millions of us rallied to the side of our troops, and we have made a difference for our country.

Savor the moment before the battle begins again.

From Politico.com

NOTE:  “We’ve yet to have any Republicans switch,” noted a senior Democratic leadership aide, admitting that the strategy of Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to force repeated votes on Iraq – a tactic designed to force vulnerable Republicans to end their support for the war – has largely failed. “We need a new plan, and there isn’t one.” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0907/6047.html

I REALLY wish I were more computer proficient--maybe I'll sign up for a Junior College course on Blogging 101. But the fact of the matter is that I don't know how to jigger my own posts in the order I consider most important, or even chronologically. So you folks get what I see, when I see it, or catch-ups from the past week.

Last weekend in Washington, I got a brief opportunity to hug my friend Ron Winter. Then we rushed off separately to make sure that GOE 3 stayed on track against the moonbats.

Ron is a Vietnam war veteran who has an eagle-eye on the body politic. He writes with clarity and conviction. He fights like a warrior for our American values. And he stays strong and resolved in the face on the American Left.

Read these postings when you have more than five minutes. Ron has a lot to say.

I've been out of town all weekend, and haven't been following the latest on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinjad planned visit to the United Nations and Columbia University --as well as the New York Times EDITORIAL BOARD.

And why does he insult the very troops he used to command?

There's so much to keep reporting on the GOE rally and the after-action reports.

From Canada Free Press, my dear friend Judi McLeod weighs in on the events!

Cliff May of Defend Democracy.org writes a very concise article for Scripps Howard about the fizzled efforts of MoveOn.org and their crazy co-horts.

"A few short months ago, the anti-war left was feeling its oats. On campuses around the country, professors were receiving letters asking them to steer students to "a major new organizing initiative to end the War in Iraq -- Iraq Summer."

My friend Megan Ortagus (who led the GOE Rally in the Pledge of Alliegance) sent out this urgent notice today.

MoveOn.org and their cohorts in Congress claimed 2007 the “Iraq Summer” and boasted it was only a matter of time before they forced troops out of Iraq.

Senator Lisa Murkowski (AK) -(202) 224-6665

Senator Arlen Specter (PA) -(202) 224-4254

Senator John Sununu (NH) -(202) 224-2841

Senator Susan Collins (ME) -(202) 224-2523

Senator Lamar Alexander (TN) -(202) 224-4944

As disappointing as the MSM media coverage of our event in Washington, D.C. is (as usual) at least C-Span covered it.

My opening remarks for Move America Forward were snagged by the bloggers.

But I'll eventually spit it all out so you folks who couldn't come to Washington, but supported us with your hearts, prayers, financial donations and good wishes can enjoy the moments that I have.

Diany Nagy. (She's on the far left)

She's so cute. And single, too.

She's a singer in her soul, mortgage broker by day in the East Bay, patriot every moment.

She's a TINY little thing, but she sure can belt out a song.

Diana went out with our MAF folks to watch the lunatics of the left shout hateful things at America. She came prepared. Whenever she heard the F-Word or someone cursing the troops, Diana whipped out her Holy Water and spritzed the crazies. They actually stopped shouting. God works in mysterious ways.

Listen to the song that she performed at every single one of the 28 stops across America in our Fight for Victory tour.

 More photos, and some text from Pam at BlogMeister.com (bumped to top)

The proceedings began around 9:30 am, and Kristinn Taylor from Free Republic led the public in a rousing chant of USA, USA!

Kristinn then passed the microphone over to Melanie Morgan. I'm not a great note-taker when people are talking, but I managed to take down some of Melanie's remarks, along with remarks made by other speakers. Melanie was full of pep and energy, praising "the patriotic Americans who stepped forward" to give a message of "love and support for our troops." Something she said was echoed throughout the rest of the rally: "We will win this war...surrender is never an option!"

{ED. I'm holding up a T-shirt for the crowd to see --it was a gift to me from Lt. Colonel Joe Roth at Camp Victory when I was in Iraq. It's the purple finger of freedom with a message of support from the Iraqi's after their historic vote. It's a gift I will always treasure.}

After Melanie's opening salvo, the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Megan Ortegas, the National Anthem was sung acapella by Kit Lange (from Free Republic). The audience joined in. Rev. Hawke then gave the invocation. As part of his invocation, Rev. Hawke prayed to "enlighten those at the other end of this Mall, in that domed building, [that] surrender is not a word in our vocabulary."

Some of the speakers included Larry Bailey and Chris Hill from the Gathering of Eagles. Chris was very impassioned. His remarks included the following: "I would bleed on that flag to keep the stripes red, and I know I'm not alone...I don't care what they [anti-war protestors] have to say anymore...you do not speak for me."

Here is audio of part of Melanie Mortan's speech from GOE 3.  

Michelle Malkin just flashed me with this news.

US Park Police confirm: Vietnam War memorial was vandalized

We brought you our video report on the Vietnam War memorial last week. Now, the Park Police confirm:

The unidentified substance that was found splashed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial earlier this month was the result of vandalism, the U.S. Park Police said today.

Sgt. Robert Lachance, a spokesman for the Park Police, said the investigation into the incident is continuing, but the detective on the case had ruled it an act of vandalism. Lachance said he could provide no more details because the probe is still underway.

The oily substance was first reported to police the evening of Sept. 7, National Park Service officials have said. Dark blotches were found along a stone curb at the base of the memorial for most of its length, and at least two of the wall's panels appeared to have had something splashed on them.

Park Service officials said they did not know what the substance was, and at first said it was unclear if it was the result of vandalism or some kind of accident.

Park Service spokesman Bill Line said today that maintenance and preservation crews were still working to remove the stains and marks, but were proceeding with caution to avoid further damage. He said the crews were trying to avoid pushing any residue into cracks or grout in the stone.

"We're purposefully going to take our time," he said.

Line said it could take another week or more to clean, but officials remain confident they can remove all the stains.

FYI, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is offering a $5,000 reward to anyone providing information leading to arrest and conviction in the case.

  ANSWER

(Jan and Joe Johnson, Gold Star Family members featured in our book "American Mourning" with Cat)

Langer's best line of the piece he wrote from the fizzled anti-war protest was when he was watching the small(ish) crowd of moonbats doing stupid, meaningless acts of civil disobediance --"I lit a disappointment cigarette."

Michelle Oddis, Erica Young and John Mansour spent their day in the District --mingling with smelly hippies and foul-mouthed 'peace activists.'

Here's their coverage.

One of the BEST things about last week's wonderful events in Washington was getting to meet in person so many bloggers who have supported our troops, and written positive things about what Move America Forward is trying to accomplish.

I raced off the stage after the rally on Saturday to give Pam Meister a HUGE hug and thank her for all of her excellent writings and friendship.

Pam blogs about it here.

John in Dublin just provided me with the YouTube link to Congressman Duncan Hunter being introduced by me at GOE 3.

Congressman Hunter is a great man.

He bought dinner for our group TWICE. He listened to everybody's worries about the troops, and helped many Gold Star family members with individual problems.

'Us' Versus 'Them'

I hugged and kissed my husband, my son, and Riley the wonder dog ---and now I just have a quick minute to post a round-up of the media reports from our WILDLY successful Fight for Victory Tour and the DEEPLY moving GOE III in Washington, D.C. I had to the privilege to co-emcee with Kristinn Taylor of FreeRepublic.com

We also held a Capitol Hill news conference on Friday.

We showed the thousands of cards, letters, and sheets of support for our troops AND their mission.

  I'm gonna give you some secret inside stuff from GOE before tomorrow's radio broadcast. Deborah John and Debbie Lee, our Blue Star and Gold Star Hero Mom's who travelled all the way across the country with our Fight For Victory Tour, went over to the 'die-in' by the Commie Code Pinko crowd, and confronted them.

The Fighting Deb's went into combat mode. When a moonbat woman confronted Deb Johns with ugly language, Deb got right back in her face. And then this crazy woman SHOVED Deb.

Big mistake.

Deb CLOCKED HER.

Problem handled.

Earlier in the day, Debbie, Deborah and I went to confront Senator Harry Reid for calling our troops losers. We were furious. This picture shows us delivering our spittin' mad message to Jim Manley, the chief spokesman for Reid. He was NOT happy to see us. 

Move America Forward Confronts Senator Reid’s Office on Betrayal of Troops

Our delegation approaches Senator Harry Reid’s office.  The delegation included Melanie Morgan (Chairman, Move America Forward), Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson (Vice Chairman, Move America Forward), Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee, Blue Star Mom Deborah Johns.

And now more from Freeper Jenny Hatch!

I stayed home from church and am watching the rally right now.  I started crying when Chris Hill spoke and have just been bawling like a boobie the whole time.

This rally is going to stand as a beacon for the future.  I can't stand the progressives at C-span, but God Bless them for documenting GOE III.

My blog round up is one of the most comprehensive in the sphere.  Check out the movie I made of you storming Reids office.  I LOVED the look on your face.

LOOK LEFT ---THE PETITION IS LOCATED RIGHT ABOVE MY PICTURE!  FIND THE PICTURE OF OUR HERO, GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS, AND CLICK ON IT --YOU'RE IN!

While I am in Washington, D.C. representing so many of you who want to come but can't, please know your sentiments will be heard via C-Span. It is planning to record the entire rally, but it will be tape delayed. Check local listings.

If you are logging on to sign our petition 'Support Our Troops! And Their Mission in Iraq" please know that your e-mail is confidential to just Move America Forward and your address will never be posted or sold anywhere.

Secondly, due to safeguards to prevent duplication, only one e-mail address for each signer is allowed. I know, it's frustrating for families who want to sign for each e-mail address. We're working on that.

I am hoping that we gather at least ten thousand signatures to support our troops before I leave for Washington, D.C. to join Gathering of Eagles, EaglesUp, Vets for Freedom, Families United and dozens of other pro-troop organizations for a SPECTACULAR rally on the National Mall on Saturday.

The last time I checked the numbers we are at 6,000 signatures. We need more! Keep signing while I'm gone. I'll check the numbers from Washington.

99.9 percent of the country can't come and raise the flag and support the troops AND their mission, as much as they want to. But you CAN do something that won't cost any money, but will make a difference. Sign the petition, and then use our very friendly function to call Congress.

Please. Speak Up Now. America Needs You.

 The sneering, condescending, antagonistic attitude towards General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker during Capitol Hill testimony about the positive news coming from Iraq is causing heartburn among the anti-war, anti-troop crowd.

"Democrats scramble for Iraq strategy " from The Politico, September 12, 2007. "In public, Democrats maintained a brave front, dismissing recommendations from Army Gen. David Petraeus as too little, too late and suggesting he was the puppet of an unpopular president.  Behind the scenes, though, Democrats are scrambling to deal with a new dynamic on Capitol Hill - they're the ones who are trying to come up with a new political strategy on the war." 

"Dem Candidates, Pressured by Anti-War Base, Still Find Consensus on Iraq Policy to be Elusive", from: The Hill, September 12, 2007  "Democrats are in a box on the Iraq war debate, lacking the votes to pass legislation ordering troops home by spring but tied to a support base that wants nothing less.... Absent any significant changes in the political landscape, Democrats are where they were before the August recess."

From: "Democrats in Box on Iraq War Legislation", Associated Press, September 12, 2007 "Two days of testimony by the top U.S. general and diplomat in Iraq have emboldened Republicans and robbed Democrats of momentum as Congress prepares to debate proposals to force a withdrawal of American forces."

And I do too. After all, it's what motivates me each and every day to do what I can, however small it might be, to protect our country from the Islamic Jihadists who hit our country hard and awakened the sleeping giant.

I haven't had time to post earlier because I'm going Mach 2 with my hair on-fire to make our Move America Forward caravan across America a success. The 'Fight For Victory" Tour is generating huge media because we have a powerful message--America will NEVER surrender to terrorists.  This is is important because it communicates to a larger audience than just the wonderful, warm, huge-hearted patriots who show up along the way of our 27 cities, and directly to our lawmakers who are in charge of keeping us safe.

Where were you when the Trade Towers came down and America changed? I was sitting in the anchor chair at KSFO radio in San Francisco, where I do my daily show.

I looked up at the TV monitors, catching a glimpse of an airplane going into a building, and a puff of smoke. I knew immediately something was awful, horrible beyond words was happening, beyond a mere accident. That premonition was borne out with my co-host Lee Rodgers, who is also a pilot. We immediately suspected terrorism. The events spooled out over our remaining three hours on-the-air, with the news becoming worse and worse. I called my husband at our home, instructing him to turn on the television; a plane hit the World Trade Towers and he needed to start issuing instructions to our staff at KSFO and KGO, where he is the Program Director.

From there, we went into crisis mode, understanding that America was under attack.

That day, and days thereafter, I saw American flags popping up on cars, in stores, outside homes and it made me proud and glad that everyone of all political persuasions understood what happened. It saddens me enormously that most of the country has now fallen victim to the lie that our war in Iraq has nothing to do with September 11th.

Terrorism is evil. Period. If it strikes New York City, or Beirut, Lebanon, or Madrid, Spain, London, England or in Baghdad, Iraq --it must be stopped. We must be the warriors for freedom that our forefathers were in stopping the spread of Nazism. After all, Japan attacked America first. We joined the fight against the Nazi's.

I hope that the people of this great country understand that analogy. It's not that hard to grasp.

Here's the e-mail I'm sending out to every single person I know or hope to know on the planet!

Excuse me while I pick myself up from the floor, but CNN did a fact-check on the claims made from MoveOn.org in the full-page advertisment taken out in the New York Times today.

See the shadows on the lower part of the picture?

It's acid. Splashed over those heroic names.

Are you outraged?

Are you disgusted?

Contact Congress and let them know we will not stand-by and watch this happen to the memories of our war dead.

(Here is the arresting Cindy Sheehan earlier this year.)

While General David Petraeus was delivering good news that  America will be able to draw down our forces and bring some of our troops home in Victory.

Ms. Sheehan believes we should leave immediately. And cause the death of millions in Iraq...making the death of her heroic son Casey meaningless.

From The Hill.com via Drudge Report

How do the Left-wingers in charge of MoveOn.org do it? Walking, talking, breathing and acting like normal human beings. In reality, they are pondscum.

These despicable, vile individuals have stooped to a new low.

They have called our American General in charge of the Iraqi theatre a 'traitor'!

...Good Lord. It's too stunning for words.

The Democrats, sensing they are about to get a political ass-kicking when the Congress hears from General David Petraeus next week, and the success of the 'surge' of fighting forces in Iraq, are now changing their talking points.

Like Lucy with the football, the defeat-retreat-surrender crowd keeps yanking the ball away from our troops, fearing a score in the war against Al Qaida.

Fred Kagan writes at the Weekly Standard why a "Middle Way" that Democrats are now yabbering on about is stupid, and counter-productive.

Here are the highlights and the actual text.

MAINSTREAM NEWSPAPER IN PHILADELPHIA REPORTS ON OUR EFFORTS!

Back Channels | War backers spreading the message: Finish the job
Philadelphia Inquirer - Philadelphia,PA,USA
Move America Forward has a pro-troop, cross-country caravan under way, with 27 events planned as the group makes its way from California to a Sept. ... 

Good Wednesday morning from Tucson, Arizona. We've woken up early and are getting ready to host the Tucson pro-troop rally for the "Fight for Victory Tour." Today we have a veteran recently back from Operation Iraqi Freedom and so we're very excited.

People keep asking us where they can join the caravan, or how to get more info about the upcoming pro-troop rally stops. All the details on the"Fight for Victory Tour" are available at the Move America Forward website: http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org

*** FOX NEWS CHANNEL: We've now learned that Fox News Channel aired are port on our national caravan and pro-troop rallies! And after national radio exposure for the tour on Mark Levin's and Jim Bohannon's shows, we were pleased to receive an invitation today from G. Gordon Liddy's Show.

We're working to get a live report from the caravan broadcast on his show.And yesterday we had C-SPAN calling to ask about the "Gathering of Eagles"rally on September 15th - and they told us they're discussing the option of broadcasting that pro-troop/pro-veteran rally live to the nation!

*** MEDIA GETTING EVEN STRONGER: At our last several stops we've always had 2 or more television cameras and usually radio and newspaper reporters there as well! Our military mothers have been doing interviews with BBC radio as they travel down the road. We pick up reporters from other European news services in Texas, who travel with us. These reporters say that European audiences find it fascinating to see such a vibrant pro-troop movement here in the United States as there is not too much in the way of pro-troop activities across the Atlantic.

*** NATIONAL REVIEW TO THE RESCUE: National Review joined in the multi-front effort to get the message out with this posting at their website: The Tank

*** AND THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Previously we passed along word that the Washington Times had a piece on the national "Fight for Victory Tour." Add to that the Washington Examiner now: Antrim: Move America Forward rallies troops

*** SUNDAY IN COLORADO: A pro-troop rally takes place at 7:00 AM in Boulder, Colorado (1048 Pearl Street) with the local patriots leaving after the rally ends in their own caravan to join the "Fight for Victory Tour." If you live in Colorado, you've got to do whatever you can to make it to the rally. Then jump in your own vehicle at the rally's end and caravan on over to Wichita, Kansas for a big pro-troop rally with the "main spoke" of the Move America Forward "Fight for Victory Tour" caravan. Meet our band of road travelers and speakers and help give us that positive boost to march onwards!

Antrim: Move America Forward rallies troops

Kathleen Antrim, The Examiner

Sep 6, 2007 6:00 AM (4 hrs ago)

Political tensions are skyrocketing in anticipation of Gen. David Petraeus’ report on the progress in Iraq. The war on terror and the Iraq war should not be partisan issues. But there are those who are determined to make them so. If there were ever any doubts about how the Iraq war and the war on terror were being used as a wedge to grab political power, the recent actions of the Democratic leadership put them to rest.

Read the article here .

It might read something like this!

I am humbled to have such good friends, some of whom I have never met.

Judi McLeod is one of those people. We admire each other very much, have e-mailed for years, but I have never wrapped my arms around her for a well-deserved hug.

---

Judi is the Editor of Canada Free Press, and writes about some 'difficulties' I have had lately with the Leftwing nut jobs. 

UPDATE:

I've seen the video of Fred Dalton Thompson announcement of his presidential campaign on the Jay Leno show, and I gotta say I wasn't much impressed. I like FDT and want very much to support him. He seemed a bit unfocused. I wanted him to come screaming out of the gate with some funny lines, and razor sharp reasons for wanting to change the country with his Presidency.

Yeah, I know he's Security, Unity and Prosperity. But come on! Where was the

excitement? But hey, maybe it's just me. 

Since I have an early bedtime, I can't stay up late to watch FDT on the Leno Show. But by tomorrow morning, I'll bring you my take.

In the meantime, the candidates on Fox News Channel took off the gloves. I admit, this is the first time I watched most, but not all of the GOP debates.

Guiliani did a passable job, but Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo had some wow! moments.

My attention got diverted when I went over to the Drudge Report.

This is the picture on the site.

That's a powerful image. I'm just sayin'. I don't want Barry Obama to win. But this visual is going to strike fear into the hearts of the Hilly Clinton crowd.

Advance leaks to ABC News spells DOOM for the political prospects of those engaged in calling our troops "Losers" and actually WINNING the war in Iraq.

Here is a sampling of what OUR side is writing about the launch of a historic road-trip by Move America Forward!

www.ronaldwinterbooks.com/blog/

Folks,

I've just returned from the gruelling first 24-hours of our Fight For Victory tour, which launched in Carson City, Nevada, stopping in Sacramento, continuing onto San Francisco (the belly of the liberal beast) and then onto Modesto, California.

I BURNED out the differential of my big Honkin' SUV, we were BUMMED out by the "Burning Man" Smelly Hippies Weirdos on parade (200,000 40,000 returning from the Nevada desert to hog up our freeways while we caravaned from stop-to-stop) and we were BUSTIN' with pride by the patriotic response of ordinary Americans who stopped what they were doing on their Labor Day holiday to greet us.

Our two 'Debbies' Deborah Johns (Blue Star Mom) and Debbie Lee (Gold Star Mom) were terrificly eloquent and amazingly effective at each rally stop. Lt. Colonel "Buzz" Patterson was also a BIG hit, as well.

We had VERY nice crowds numbering in the hundreds at each stop! Despite the Labor Day traffic and hour late appearances in Sacramento and San Francisco.

We were counter-protested at Senator Reid's office in Carson City by, oh, lemme see--a couple dozen anti-war leftists (some of whom heckled us at our rallies.) Not one single counter-protestor in Sacramento and, get this, SAN FRANCISCO.

In Carson City, we had two TV cameras, and local newspaper coverage. Sorry I can't forward all the coverage, our tech people are working overtime. (Most of our staff is on the tour.)

We had six to eight television hits (complete 3 minute packages) in the Reno-Carson City market, all of which was extremely positive. As in LITTLE BIAS, much pro-troop coverage, favorable discussion of General

Petraeus upcoming report, and GOE, VFF, Eagles Up big D.C. event. This has got to be irritating to the notoriously thin-skinned Senator Harry Reid. At each stop, we pushed Victory Caucus for signing the petition for Congress.

 Haven't seen the media coverage for Sacramento or San Francisco yet. San Francisco was wall-to-wall Bay Bridge 'opening early' coverage, drowning out our very uplifting rally in front of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office.

Okay, I am officially out of activist go-juice. Must.Go.To.Bed.

Please see our Daily Blog File at www.moveamericaforward.org for more details. We will be updating from the road. PLEASE keep pushing our rallies and get some boots on the ground in each location.

P.S. When I got home tonight I found YouTube video from a woman I don't know, Jenny Hatch, but I would sure love to meet her!

Must WATCH --funny, and moving, too.

The Blogs are sending out the word --the ENTIRE DEMOCRAT PARTY LEADERSHIP is arrayed against our pro-America, pro-troop caravan that leaves tomorrow, arriving in Carson City, Nevada Monday morning.

Can you frickin' believe this?
