"a message that is ancient and ever new..."

I just came across this older item in my "stack of stuff," and felt like posting it...

...Those we lost were last seen on duty. Their final act on this Earth was to fight a great evil and bring liberty to others. All of you -- all in this generation of our military -- have taken up the highest calling of history. You're defending your country, and protecting the innocent from harm. And wherever you go, you carry a message of hope -- a message that is ancient and ever new. In the words of the prophet Isaiah, "To the captives, 'come out,' -- and to those in darkness, 'be free.'"

--President Bush, speaking of those who died in the invasion of Iraq, May 1, 2003 (link)

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm not much of a joiner. And while I'm a person who is very much for Bush, this isn't a "blog for Bush." It's a blog for me, and has no other fixed purpose. It's the one place in the cosmos that is just the way I want it to be (withing the small limits of my artistic and writing ability, and the limits of my knowlege of HTML).

Since President Bush's philosophy is closely congruent with my own, I am normally fervently pro-Bush. But no one should take that for granted...

I liked the picture of Rumsfeld you posted. I may grab it if I get around to it.
