July 4 was one, but that looks like a non-starter, for reasons that make sense: Congress will be gone, no one else will be downtown to witness the demo(s), lots of Americans will be traveling or celebrating a holiday and not attuned to protesting, etc.<br /><br />September 12 is better -- the silly season/dog days of August over, mass vacation time over, politics again center stage.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-43132292964879826422009-05-06T17:49:00.000-10:002009-05-06T17:49:00.000-10:00Good words, again, Rick.

Can you or your readers confirm?<br /><br />Thanks again for your consistently excellent commentary. <br /><br />-JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-33805330697491186662009-05-05T09:16:00.000-10:002009-05-05T09:16:00.000-10:00Here are some Obama nominations which will make yo...Here are some <A HREF="http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/7097.html" REL="nofollow">Obama nominations</A> which will make you worry even more.David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-82433692004024966172009-05-05T08:39:00.000-10:002009-05-05T08:39:00.000-10:00Terry,

But on the whole I'd rather Obama, his mob, and his handlers try to tear down the traditional United States in a frenzy than incrementally. The more dramatic and visible the attempted makeover, the faster and stronger the countermovement is likely to develop … if enough people still care and are willing to stick their necks out.<br /><br />Why, thank you, Apoorva. I fancy tea myself. Brought back several boxes from my recent London visit. Have you tried Dilmah unblended from Sri Lanka? I understand they're fighting a civil war there over who controls the tea plantations.Rick Darbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02371910140619422820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646992.post-4449596506030808182009-05-05T02:51:00.000-10:002009-05-05T02:51:00.000-10:00Great post!, and amen to everything you said. And...Great post!, and amen to everything you said. And it IS happening at breakneck speed as we speak. <br /><br />Why anyone <I>ever</I> believed that Hussein and the socialists that occupy the Congress were anything other than radicals with a radical agenda which they intended to push through once elected is way beyond my ability to understand.<br /><br />But maybe, just maybe, this is the very impetus we need to get on with the business at hand. I personally think that Hussein and the leftists in Congress cannot possibly understand what the phrase "slow down and proceed with caution" means. And I'm not sure that that's necessarily a bad thing.Terry Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166609562028309038noreply@blogger.com
