MORE RANDOM THOUGHTS

After my last bunch of random thoughts generated so much interest, I thought I'd try again.

1. If my yard gets any drier, I'm afraid President Bush may start a war in it.

2. It's been rumored that Goodwill got a bunch of sleeveless t-shirts in. They are going to put them in the golf sportswear section and call it the Blake Montgomery collection. It is right across the aisle from the Curt Hatton collection - where the shorts meet the socks.

3. In response to the person that said Joey never broke 120 on the golf course - I'd like you to know that one year he won the last flight of the Greene County Open with an astounding 103... But it's rumored he poisoned his opponent's seeing eye dog.

4. Congrats to the Turkey Run Warriors who won their first football game in 3 years - defeating Covington on the road.

5. How many times do you sit in line at the drive through and when its finally time to order your passenger goes brain dead. And speaking of drive throughs...The last time I went through one I ordered my food and beverage - paid the cashier, got my Diet Coke and promptly drove to all the way to Bloomfield before realizing I didn't wait for my food! (Who was brain dead?)

Wars are not desired by anyone who loves freedom, but are necessary to protect it.

I prefer to fight the "fanatical" muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan and not New York, Washington D.C. or Shanksville, Pa. Even Senator Murtha and Representative Pelosi admited Al-Qaida is there in great numbers and are responsible for most of the IED's. Granted, Iran is supplying the materials, but the same group is fighting us, that killed the 3,000 on 9/11.

We should not be deceived, they would kill all of us, if they could. Their "great" Koran (in the chapter of Surah) says for them to kill all Christians and Jews. They believe they will be rewarded for their murders.

This is not a conventional war, but one against cowards who won't even wear a uniform and who cover their heads. These are the people who decapitated Daniel Pearl and many others while covering their faces to avoid responsibility.

Our polititions make more mistakes than we know, but one thing is certain, they have not had any experience like this to learn from. If America had hindsight, we would have taken out Hitler in 1939 and Bin Laden in 1998. We need to be realistic and continue to take out adversaries anywhere they are.

Despite the anti-Bush ramblings, I am thankful for a Christian president who had the foresight to pursue terrorist abroad.

This next election we will know where we want to fight the muslims, by who we elect , for better or worse.

Joe,

I think it is starting to rain.

Wars are never deemed popular by those who fight them nor by those who lose loved ones. We seldom pay much attention to history when we get involved in these wars. One would have thought that a war as recent as Vietnam would have had a more profound effect on our current politicians. Back then it took over 58,000 dead young American soldiers to see that we couldn't win. Winning a war like this, when fought in this manner, is not possible.

Now we are involved in another great civil war, not fighting communism, but fighting muslim religious fanatics in a war that will never end. Our politicians have neglected their history lessons.

"So, until we know the enemy and know our allies and know ourselves, we'd better keep out of this kind of dirty business. It's very dangerous." General Maxwell Taylor

If this is such a popular war why don't we reenstate the draft and share all the glory. I may be wrong, but I think Joe like me is an old Marine who has been on the business end of an AK 47. I don't think I would want to question his patriotism.

I agree. We really need it for the winter wheat and for the farm ponds.

Is that what you meant, Joe?

I have struggled with grammatical errors and poor sentence structure since I was a wee lad in Lewis, so I doubt that I shall participate in this type of forum. I just don't think that I can handle the intense scrutiny, plus I just don't feel very good.

Ah yes, I'd love to see that video of all the members of congress singing "God Bless America" after 9/11. How soon we forget!!

Ummmm, didn't congress vote for the war overwhelmingly? Why is everyone now pointing at the president? Shouldn't you also be pointing at your elected congressmen?

"I do not personally know Mr. Hart, but I do question his judgement to belittle our President (Commander in Chief), and in so doing, our troops in a time of war."

A tongue-in-cheek snide remark about W's penchant for unjust bloodshed is in no way tied to NOT supporting American troops.

In fact, my desire to support our young soldiers to the utmost is enough drive for me to do everything in my power (i.e. vote in 2008) to make sure someone like George W. Bush never comes into power ever again.

Let's not get too carried away here, and construe what's not meant to be.

B ball fan, I feel sorry for your attitude, but I respect your ability to have free speech.

You do seem to enjoy putting down those who preserve America.

My working definition of Patriot is one who values the sacrifice of our soldiers and the Constitution of the United States of America. According to Webster's New World dictionary, a patriot is one who loves and zealously supports his own country. That is me and 99% of Greene County.

I do not personally know Mr. Hart, but I do question his judgement to belittle our President (Commander in Chief), and in so doing, our troops in a time of war.

Beware, anyone reading this blog, there is a plethora of poor grammar, spelling and ill logic contained in the writings of B ball fan. Please stop reading any further, or previous comments, if you value the English language.

I think your yard is safe unless you're sitting on a substantial crude oil deposit.

I think about the only thing that isn't dry anymore is Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan.

The drive by thing has happend to most of us... Then again what happens most is the place forgets to put stuff in the sack they give me ;( lol

I know you were being sarcastic about the dry yard, but remember, we still have troops who are defending liberty and a majority of Americans who support the freedom given to the 25 million Iraqis.

May God bless our troops who are preparing to leave our local Gaurd. Thank you to those who have already served and may God grant wisdom to our Prisident and Congress as they continue to help us remain attack free since 9/11.

How about, " If we don't win the war in Iraq, then we will have a war in all of our yards."
