Feb 11, 2004 Welcome to Texas! We have a saying, “Don’t Mess With Texas”! You must be new, so I’ll translate, while in Texas don’t litter. But if you’re outside of Texas, then it translates like this, “Don’t Mess With Texans!” Especially, when he happens to be, The President of The United States. Let's talk about the Commander and Chief of these United States. Next time you see the commander, check out his feet. He wears the boots! That’s right, Made in Texas, and in case you didn't know it, he is about as Texan as they come. As a boy, “W” worked for his daddy, (He wears boots too!). Now working for your daddy can be a good thing or it could be a bad thing. In "W's" case it was good, real good. Surely you know as a young man, he was as the say, doing some O.J.T. (On the Job Training) remember, "H" was President and "W" was Boy Wonder! That's right, Boy Wonder, people the world over would see him in the background and say, "Look, there's that Boy, Wonder what he's doing?" Well, he was the taskmaster, ask John Sununu! Still, if "H" would have listened to "W", Bill Clinton would have been divorced and picking little Flowers out of his garden! What’s that you ask, where is the great uniter? He's in the White House and people are still asking, Boy, wonder what he's doing now? Collectively now, everyone take a deep breath, blow it out and try to relax, he's doing it now, he’s uniting. We've seen this before, he has the conservative right running around like a chicken cut their heads off, and the left blaming him for everything from going AWOL to being an alcoholic. OK, and we've already played those tunes and they played flat the first time. The accuse him of lying, stealing and murder, all in the name of WMD's! NOW HEAR THIS! Fair minded people know that every President walking, Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, Carter, and Ford all believed the intelligence on WMD'S So did Kerry, Lieberman, Sharpton, Dean, Edwards, Grumpy and Goofy! Now, we should add, whole countries, France, Germany, Russia, Italy and Great Britain did too! In case you missed it, the entire world bought in! The intelligence was there when "W" arrived. Did he want to take out the mad man that killed hundreds of thousands of his own people and tried to assassinate Bush 41? I sure hope so, don't you? Ok, maybe he wanted to take out the mad man that killed hundreds of thousands of his own people and tried to assassinate his daddy, wouldn't you? I really hope so! Was it Candidate Howard Dean who questioned the Presidents prior knowledge of 9- 11? Ok, we're changing his name to Howard “Dopey” Dean! What an idiot! Just think, that guy will soon be returning to his medical practice. Whew, I wouldn’t want him checking my prostate, or having his mad little finger on the “big red button” either! I regress, would you? Now, with Larry, Kerry and Joe working in tandem with Huey, Dewey and Al who are taking their lead from Grumpy, Goofy and Dopey Dean! They’re all running around the country yelling, "Hate Bush He Lies, Hate Bush He Lies!" Then ol' I hate America even if it made me rich, George Soro's willingness to divest himself of a fortune to "Get Rid of The Liar!" stirring up his bought and paid for brand of hate with his merry band of Hollywood’s Lefty Loonies. The best and brightest movie stars Hollywood has to offer, more than willing to ruin their careers in the effort to defeat The President. Hell, the Democrats don't care who we elect, or what they think, only one- thing matters, beat Bush! The President was barely in office when the world was stunned as the Twin Towers came down, the Pentagon hit as civilian heroes died in a field of waving grain. That day, every American said, thought or sighed, "I glad it's Bush, he's the right man for the job!" Forget that they said he was a appointed President by the Supremes or That (I'm laughing now) Al Gore won the popular vote. Want to take it today? I do! So, they pound on him, blame him, degrade him, and call him terrible things. And they are the people who voted for Al Gore! Ok, lets trust them. So my friend like I said, we've seen this before, the right is throwing a fit because he isn't doing what they want. The left is throwing a hissy (bigger than a fit) fit, because they only want to play by their rules. Well, let me opine, recess is almost over and when the big babies come in, "W", he’s the man with the boots on a hush will come over the room as each and everyone of them sit down and gets quiet. An almost sullen room, because they know how disrespectful they have been how they lied. As a kinder, gentler "W" puts his arm around the worst of the worst (your choice) and in a way only he can, one at a time, he'll forgive the disrespect, and let them know in his heart, he believes inside, their good men, fair men and they love the country, they just don’t know how to behave. Relieved and happy, each one of them will seek his forgiveness. Not only because he’s a good man, who’s done a good job and the world is better off because he’s here, they’ll seek forgiveness, and do you know why? Because there’s not one man in the room that can fill those boots! He's the President of the United States and he has been dealt the worst hand any President has ever had to play. They have treated him with far less respect than have that weasel of a hole rat, Saddam Hussein. They were wrong about “W”, they treated him unfairly, and sooner or later they will learn to understand, their hysterics have damaged us, and for that we all will pay. “W”, still a young man will beyond his Presidency, demand the one thing they have refused to give, respect for The Office of The President of The United States. He will demand it, and he will give it, regardless who occupies the office. Sooner or later, he’ll win that battle too, he will, because he's the kinder, gentler, uniter. But, remember this, don’t mess with America, if you can’t fill the boots! ------------ About the author: Jeff D. Riley is a second generation Italian American who lives in Texas.
