TX-17 May Have Republican Candidate to Face Chet Edwards

I have heard a rumor, a fairly reliable one, that Republicans may potentially have a very good candidate to run against liberal Democrat Chet Edwards for TX-17. This is great news. Chet is a guy we inherited from the from another area due to the 2003 redistricting. Another words, we inherited someone else’s problem. Perhaps we can finally rectify the situation by replacing Edwards with a true American hero, someone like Lt. Col. (Ret.) Brian Birdwell, a survivor of the 9/11 attacks on the Pentagon. This is a man who understands the meaning of sacrifice, love, devotion, and courage. The man’s story is incredible. How he was burned over 60% of his body when Flight 175 flew into the building and lived to tell the tale. The colonel credits his faith in Jesus Christ and the devotion of his beautiful wife, Mel, for his life. Be sure to read his incredible story.

I had the opportunity to hear Col. Birdwell speak at the Texas Republican Convention in San Antonio. He is an awesome speaker, a fierce defended of the Global War on Terror, and a staunch conservative. Col. Brian Birdwell has all the attributes we could possibly want to represent central Texas. It is still early the season, so more Republicans may declare their intent to run. One thing is certain, Chet Edwards will have his hands full with Brian Birdwell. This guy is for real so I hope the rumor is true and Birdwell runs for the Republican nomination for TX-17.

Bin Laden Calls on Democrats to End Iraq War, Denounce Patraeus Report

Usama bin Laden has finally come out of whatever cave he was hiding in and has spoken to the United States.  While the speech rambles on a number of topics, there are some interesting tidbits: like chastising the Democrats for their actions (and lack of actions) and giving the Democrats their marching orders.

“And here is the gist of the matter, so one should pause, think and reflect: why have the Democrats failed to stop this war, despite them being the majority?

…”So in answer to the question about the causes of the Democrats’ failure to stop the war, I say: they are the same reasons which led to the failure of former president Kennedy to stop the Vietnam war….

…And I tell you: after the failure of your representatives in the Democratic Party to implement your desire to stop the war, you can still carry anti-war placards and spread out in the streets of major cities, then go back to your homes, but that will be of no use and will lead to the prolonging of the war….

Bad Democrats.  They had their chance to lose this war…I mean they had their chance to end this war and failed.  The terrorist leader is harsh in his criticism of the Democrats, but he gives them another chance.  But first, Bin Laden then goes on to make sure he has the Democrats‘ attention by mentioning some of their most treasured issues: “global warming” and the American system which makes “the rich richer and the poor poorer.”   Then he instructs them they must end this war and turn to Islam. To be sure, the Democrats are falling all over themselves to comply with their  high leader.

The Democrats are kowtowing to their prodigious leader and are preparing the groundwork as the date nears for General Petraeus to make his report.  Like a good Democrat, Dick Durban is discounting the report calling it the Bush-Petraeus report.  Other Democrats likewise have fallen back on their old placard and are attacking the troops once again.  This good soldier is doing nothing more than doing the incredibly difficult job that was given to him.  It is too bad the Dems can not withhold their attacks on Gen. Petraeus until he has given his report.  And then they can attack the report all they want.  But to Democrats, there is no difference between attacking the idea and besmirching the person.  Typical Democrats.

Obviously bin Laden came out with this video because al Qaeda is losing in Iraq and losing badly.  The troop surge is working and the Patraeus report is sure to say so.  But we can be sure that  the Democrats will answer bin Laden’s call and sully the honor of General Petraeus and denounce the troops in the field.  We can be sure they will renew their calls for America’s defeat in Iraq and America’s defeat in the GWOT in general.  The fifth column is alive and well in the United States, it is called the Democratic Party.
