Moved beyond words
I read about ten to fifteen blogs per day, and a myriad of news sources (most of which are relentlessly negative -- about Bush, the war, gas prices, you name it. Nothing but negativity).
Today I happened across a blog that was linked in a National Review Online Corner posting. I had never come across it before today. I think every American should read it. I have never read a more moving defense of what our nation is doing nor a more moving explanation about what makes our nation so great than this post.
Go to Villanous Company and marvel at what makes this such a great country.

Thank you for the link.
I'm glad you liked it - I was really steamed this morning, although I think perhaps my husband would be happier if I'd used my energy cleaning the house :)
We are truly blessed.

You are quite welcome. I misted up a little at the end, so you got me.

Thank you for sharing this site. I really needed to see something like this after reading some more on the Cindy Sheehan circus.
Cindy Sheehan has made a mockery of her son's death. His sacrifice is now overshadowed by her antics. She is NOT the only mother that has lost a son/daughter in Iraq and her comments are doing more harm than good - especially to the rest of our troops still there. Good thing there are no such things as ghosts. I think her son would tell her a thing or two about her behavior and her actions. This is war - people die. She has every right to mourn her son; but she has no right to spew her venom and diminish what our fighting soldiers are doing right now in Iraq. Did we learn nothing from the Vietnam era? Haven't we heard how those veterans felt about the protests & how harmful they were to their psyche & morale? She is selfish and unmindful of our soldier's feelings and of the feelings of their families as well. As far as meeting, again, with our president; he already met with her once. She is no more entitled to his time than any other Gold star mother. He is under no obligation to see her again. He deserves to take a vacation just like the rest of us. She needs to go home and get some grief counseling. But hey! Guess she is too busy enjoying her time in the spotlight too much for that.
