This is my response to a message that I received from a person named Doug in Washington state. He believes that we "lost" the war in Iraq.

Dear Doug,

I see that you like photography. I like it too. I use a Kodak Easy Share DX4900. However, I have begun a new adventure with videography. I bought a Sony DCR-SR80 with a sixty gigabyte hard-disk drive. It's a fine piece of equipment which cost about $900.00.

Take a look at my photos and videos to sample my submissions to Myspace. My favorite posted photo is the sailboat (Newport RI) in front of the bridge. I like nautical photos. "Oh God, Thy sea is so great and my boat is so small." I used to think of this quotation when I served in the Navy aboard an aircraft carrier.

The global war against Islamic Fascism is in the first inning only. It is unlike the Vietnam War insofar as the new war will not end when we leave Iraq. The militants will follow us to continue the fight. The combatants that we don't kill in Iraq will have to be killed later in the United States. Let's kill them in their own countries.

Newt Gingrich said a funny thing about Walter Mondale when he quoted the astute observation of Woodrow Wilson. "Never murder a man [politician] who is in the process of committing [political] suicide." I agree. Hence, when the Kook Fringe of the Loony Left acts insane, Republicans must provide them as much publicity as possible. Because Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have done a superb job exposing the Loony Left, the Liberals, to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, can't fool all of the people all of the time.

DR Charles Frazier Stanley (intouch.org) gave a great sermon on 04 Jul 2007. He proclaimed that thirty-plus years of LIBERALISM have been a disaster for the United States. I agree completely. His Baptist view of our country is "spot on." You can listen to a 15-minute recording of this particular oration on my blog thanks to Odeo. It is worth the time to listen. He quoted Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville who said in his 1830s book, Democracy in America, that America will continue to be great so long as America continues to be good. DR Stanley is absolutely right.

You would have a lot of fun if you were to post nautical pictures of Washington state. People would enjoy viewing that artistic theme.

"And he said, do not follow blindly the monkey looking moron that has been voted into office, make your own decisions of right and wrong."

I watch the Daily Show and I vote too.

Take Care!

P.S. I was in the service and actually served our country and spent some time in the Middle East and thought I might give you the heads up in case you didn't know, we lost the war in Iraq.
