I LOVE this analogy...One of my most favorite scenes from "Raiders of the Lost Ark." From the Kerry Spot: THE BUSH CAMPAIGN'S FAVORITE METAPHOR [09/09 02:39 PM] "I'm not quite sure what this comparison of the presidential campaign to one of my all-time favorite movie scenes by London's Daily Telegraph means, exactly, but I'm sure the Bush campaign loves it. Watching Mr Kerry try to take on Mr Bush brings to mind a classic moment in that cult film of the 1980s, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones is trapped in a back-alley in an Egyptian souk. A crowd closes in as a giant Arab steps forward wielding a scimitar. Snick-snack it goes through the air, faster and faster. The audience tenses. Indie shudders. Then he draws a pistol from his belt and shoots the Arab in the forehead. Game over. The crowd drifts away. Such is America's polarisation that the crowd enveloping the two presidential candidates is not yet drifting away. But, notwithstanding his own twists over Iraq, Mr Bush plays a convincing straight shooter. His pistol is already drawn and all the while Mr Kerry seems happier whirling a scimitar than reaching for a gun. Oh, wait, Kerry's convoluted, complicated explanations of his views on every issue is like waving around the sword, while Bush's blunt, four-to-five words-in-their-entirety statements are like shooting a gun. Now it makes sense." |
| Here is another email I received from a friend. Thank You!
This is something from Bill Gates. I went ahead and checked Open Secrets because I thought that he supported Kerry. However, it looks like he supports President Bush! Even if Bill Gates did not actually say this...It is still GREAT advice! To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice. Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

| Meryl Streep, the liberal, and Denzel Washington, the Republican, had a discussion regarding Jesus a few weeks ago. Meryl attempted to pull the "what would Jesus do?" regarding the war in Iraq.
Here is my answer. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. It sounds like Jesus would fight for us...... |
| Jimmy Stewart - Republican!
Cary Grant - Republican! Ron Silver - A Democrat voting for Bush! George McKelvey, the Democratic mayor of Youngstown, Ohio, voting for Bush! |
