I was offended by Clinton's speech last night on 15 points. The first one is new covenant. The Ark of the Covenant was the Old Covenant. The New Covenant was the Son of God, Jesus Christ. I was offended when he used that term in New York at the Democratic Convention. He repeated it over and over and over again last night. No. 2, to put a Medal of Honor winner in the gallery that joined the Marine Corps at 16, fudging his birth certificate, that pulled that second grenade under his stomach, miraculously surviving and saving his four friends, he did that 6 days past his 17th birthday. Does Clinton think putting a Medal of Honor winner up there is not going to recall for most of us that he avoided the draft three times and put teenagers in his place possibly to go to Vietnam? No. 3, the line on the cold war, . . . By the way, Mr. Speaker, the second amendment is not for killing little ducks and leaving Huey and Dewey and Louis without an aunt and uncle. It is for hunting politicians, like Grozny, 1776, when they take your independence away.

Beautifully put. You have actually picked up the theme of the cardinals, to try and win by persuasion. But when you are a fighter pilot, that is hard. Your dad is a fighter pilot. Ask your dad how hard it is to be loving and kind and try…

this is going to be hot stuff. I said last week I would quote from battling Harry Truman. Everybody wants to be Harry Truman if they are coming from behind in an election, and I said that Harry Truman was tough on adultery, loyal to his…
