I went out to eat tonight to treat myself out. It had been a while since I’ve gone out and made a conscious effort to enjoy the fruits of my labours. As I carefully weighed my options between the vast delicacies listed on the menu and the available funds meticulously nestled inside the confines of my billfold, I finally settled on a more familiar inexpensive dish. The first bite I took from the visually stunning presentation set the tone for the type of meal I was going to have. First of all, the taste disagreed with me and it was all I could do to quickly remove the items from the confines of my mouth and to wash away the uninvited encroachment of bad taste to my palate.
I told the waiter I wasn’t going to be able to eat the "stuff" and decided on a fast food meal.
On my way home, I decided to turn on talk radio. I had just missed Laura Ingraham and immediately my thoughts were invaded by my dislike of the person who immediately followed her --- I can’t even say the guy’s name.
As I turned up the volume on the radio, the sound of a woman on the phone conversing with Mr. Colmes discussed her position on our President’s foreign policies and her take on what a mistake it was to go into war.
The next words that I heard were from Mr. Colmes himself… I gotta tell you folks, comments like this make me upset (and I don’t get upset very often)…
…broadcast all over the continental US, this guy had the nerve to say “God made George Bush president because He knew 911 was going to happen...”
I quickly turned off the radio and fumed over what I had just heard. I can’t imagine what the troops who are out there fighting for the right for this idiot to have the freedom to say this crap must be thinking as they heard this. As a former Marine, I am proud to have served my country and my respect and allegiance first and foremost is to my country and my commander-in-chief. This is a slap in the face for the military…and from a civilian no less.
Unlike the food I had attempted to eat earlier this evening however, I cannot simply spit the stuff out. Unfortunately, I am forced to have to regurgitate this crap that the drive-by media is force-feeding us with.
What I heard tonight is by far the lowliest remark I’ve heard any U.S. citizen make about one of his own --- and not just anyone, the President himself.
Come on guys…play nice.

Dear Noel,
Bernie and I have to face this so much in Canada.
People always running down that great president that you have.
We always defend him.
In fact every Wednesday, without fail, your beloved President Bush and the dear troops are being prayed for in the prayer meeting....every week and probably every day in the Christians separate homes.
I wouldn't worry too much about those stupid people saying such things.
You, yourself Noel, know what you have done for your country and what those thousands of soldiers are still doing!
Guys like this one you mentioned here aren't even worth a second thought!!....From Terry
God Bless America!!!!
God bless the President!
God bless the Troops!
Hi Noel...

Noel- WELL SAID!!!! It always irks me when people say things like that.
Just wanted to swing by and see how you were doing. I've been very busy lately, but even though I haven't been commenting, I've been reading your posts. I also wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the congratulations and the nice comment you left on my blog about my graduation...it was much appreciated!
How are your kids doing? I'm keeping them (and you, of course!) in my prayers.
