Proud to be an American

I took the opportunity to witness President George W Bush accept the oath of office on the steps of the Capital today, officially beginning his second term in office as Commander in Chief of this great land of ours. As he repeated those solemn words in the presence of Chief Justice William Rehnquist i could not help but think of how great it is to be an American.

Early on in his acceptance speech, President Bush reminded those who were witnessing this historic occassion of the fact that he is the right man to be in the White House at this time in history. In stating, "At this second gathering, our duties are defined not by the words I use, but by the history we have seen together", it was a reminder that this President not only led us through the bloodiest attack on our soil in the history of our great land, he has also done something about it instead of just waiting around for another attack.

Those who choose to stand against the President in our war on terror have always been on the wrong side of history, and they have shown that they intend to stay on that wrong side of history. During the ceremony i noticed John Kerry in attendence, the very poster child for being on the wrong side of history. Up to the days before this great occassion, Kerry continued with his undue attacks on President Bush and the policies that have protected us over the last 4 years, as well as returned us to being a great nation again.

Not everyone in Washington today were there to celebrate a well deserved 4 more years in office that President Bush rightly won. Some protestors, who have apparently forgot about the years of 1992-2000, carried signs that called President Bush is the "worst President ever". If these poor people only knew how good they had it. If they hate this country so much, they are more than welcome to leave.

Protests even took place in cities outside of the nation's capital also. One such protestor in Palo Alto, CA said, “We’re objecting to Bush being reinstalled as president of the United States. He’s illegitimate." Apparently she has been in a coma since the November election, if not since 2000 when the President won that election with a clear victory in Florida, which gave him the victory in the electoral college. I'm not sure where these people are getting their Kool-Aid from, but i do hope they stay as far away from me as possible.

When in doubt though, we know that we can always count on the House MINORITY Leader, "San Fran" Pelosi to cheer us up. In a fund raising letter for her 2006 campaign (yes, that is for an election nearly 2 years away) Pelosi said, "Personally, I don't feel much like celebrating. So I'm going to mark the occasion by pledging to do everything in my power to fight the extremist Republican's destructive agenda."
First of all, this woman's entire political platform is an "Extremist destructive agenda", that calls for bigger government, higher taxes, more abortions on demand, and the destruction of the traditional family. Of course she can't celebrate, evil can never celebrate when good wins out.
Next, i want to point out that this woman looks like a deer in the headlights. She has the surprised look that most everyone else had when she was named MINORITY leader for her party.
And finally, i think people like Nancy Pelosi, Hillary "The Schrill" Clinton, Algore, and even Tom "Puff" Daschle are the best thing going for President Bush right now. They continue to show how out of touch with the heartland of America they really are, and pushes them to a ressurgent Republican party who is ready with open arms to welcome them home. I hope to hear more schrills from Hillary, and more screams from Howard Dean (Lord, please let him become the head of the DNC!), and more Tom Daschle like attacks from Kerry, Pelosi, et al in the next 4 years.
Not only will this assure another Republican White House victory in 2008, but it will no doubt increase our majority in both the House and Senate as well.

Congratulations President Bush for this much deserved 2nd term in office. May God bless you as you lead our country with faith in Him, and may God also bless America.
Today, i am proud to be an American!
