    Default The Beauty Of Words

    In all seriousness, I think we all need to take some time to stop and appreciate the beauty of our language.

    In that spirit, I would like to share with you all, the beauty of the words I will post below. They touched me this morning. Brought a few tremulous tears to my eyes.

    As Francis Bacon once wrote: The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.

    Here they are:



    "This is William Kristol’s last column."

    "This is William Kristol’s last column."

    Such beauty in those words.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    Billy Krystol? I don't care much for him as a comic. Jooish humor eludes me .















    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    Not only that, but we encounter each other in words, words
    spiny or smooth, whispered or declaimed, and words to consider, reconsider.

    Ever think about that?
