Everywhere I looked or listened, there it was, being abused. Senators Kennedy, Pelosi, and Byrd disgraced themselves shamefully with their lack of it d uring Dr. Rice’s confirmation hearing. The so-called “main stream med ia” likewise demonstrated their utter disregard for it leading up to, and after, the historic elections in Iraq. And as I graded final assignments and completed first semester report cards, it was painfully missing for some of my students.
On the other hand, the rest of my students were right on target. Many commentators on Fox News exhibited a healthy respect for it during and after the Iraqi election. And the doom and gloom whiners in Congress were outshined by others who respect this most valuable of traits. Have you guessed what it is?....... It is PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! Isn’t it time we all stood up for it and confronted the abuse of it at every turn? No longer should we remain quiet. OUR man is in the White House and the hearts and minds of most, yes, most Americans, agree with him. President Bush, just like President Reagan before him, is making tough decisions to make our nation and world safer, restore common sense and decency throughout our land. As knowledgeable Republicans, it is our personal responsibility to share our message with those who are yet uninformed. Can we do it in a blue county in a blue state? Yes, we can! And if we succeed, history will be a more pleasant subject to teach in the future!
What was it like to attend the swearing-in and inaugural ceremonies of George W. Bush in 2001 and again in 2005? Sheryl Fearrien
How can we Republicans best get the word out here in Humboldt County? Our speaker, Lori Metheny, the new chairman of the Humboldt County Republican Central Committee, will share her experiences and expertise and inspire us at our next meeting on Friday, February 18th.
Don't miss it! Let’s keep the momentum going. Sheryl Fearrien
