HELLO ! On BOTH sides of the aisle....

# 1 )  STONEWALL


When gay men were beaten by the police, they did not run away.   They stood.   They fought.   They faced down those that wanted to kill them.   Not running away is courage,  not  " a lack of self-preservation". 


I do not lack  "self-preservation".   I have been hearing that nonsense since medical school; my psychological profile is an attempt to confuse my identity with the identity of others [  = part of the soft war effort ].




# 2 )   What does Adm. Mullen need to be successful?


He needs the LOYALTY of his STAFF.   


How does he get that?


He vanquishes their enemies and he gives them opportunities [ more about this privately, not publicly ].




# 3 )    I was talking to  REPUBLICANS !


It was the last days of his presidency, his approval  ratings could not have been lower, everyone hated him....what does George Bush need to he successful ?   He needs an ISSUE !


Something that helps Bob Jones University, you know, the people who voted for him, something that returns the base...something that provides a counter-point.....
