God Bless America.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt I&#8217;ll have more to say on the above soon. As well as on much of what I&#8217;ve gleefully missed over some of the past seven glorious days as I slowly return to speed. I say &#8220;slowly&#8221; because, unlike most on the other side of the political table, I enjoy actually <i>forming<\/i> my <i>own<\/i> opinions on things based on <i>actual<\/i> source material rather than simply retyping &#8220;opinions&#8221; as heard by the Political Dogma Masters at the top of the Echo Chamber Food Chain. But maybe that&#8217;s just me.<\/p>\n<p>So such things do take time. I&#8217;m sure BRAD BLOGGERS (some of them anyway) will understand.<\/p>\n<p>This one observation however &#8212; Days in the mountains with neither TV, Radio, Newspapers or Internet are blissful. Days in the dry desert with only quick glances at CNN and MSNBC and the occassional <i>USA Today<\/i> front page headline offer a gentle re-entrance to Modern Day America.<\/p>\n<p>Flipping on FOX NEWS, however, upon returning home displays a whole new world!<\/p>\n<p>For one, it&#8217;s good to learn that the War in Iraq is finally over! Phew! That was scary for a while! And I didn&#8217;t know that the Oil For Food &#8220;Scandal&#8221; at the UN is now by far the greatest issue rocking Americans today! Neither had I realized what an evil, incompetent, soulless, ambulance chasing, flip-flopping hypocrite that John Edwards scoundrel really is! And if I had known how close we now are to imminent war with those communist Freedom Haters in Canada and France, I might have stayed home to protect my personal property!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/BradBlog.com\/Images\/RidgeLight.jpg\" hspace=\"6\" vspace=\"3\" border=\"0\" align=\"right\">Fortunately though, I re-entered &#8220;America&#8221; in time to learn that my days without the media in the mountains were little more than blissful ignorance. Al-Qaeda may be striking me and my family with a &#8220;spectacular attack&#8221; at any moment!!!<\/p>\n<p>While I was all set to support Anybody But Bush for President, thankfully I&#8217;ve been re-reminded upon my return &#8212; oddly, as if like clockwork &#8212; that I should be very <i>VERY<\/i> afraid of my impending Death by Terror! And not a moment too soon!!! Another day in the mountains without FOX and I might have been a goner!!!<\/p>\n<p>With such an imminent and horrible attack scheduled to happen at <i>any<\/i> moment, perhaps it&#8217;s best after all to vote for George W. Bush this year. At least he has kept <i>me<\/i> completely unharmed (so far!) from both the Freedom Haters <i>and<\/i> Saddam Hussein for almost three years straight! For that, he deserves our unquestioning support and unconditional thanks! I&#8217;ve also gotten some <i>great<\/i> bargains at the local mall during that time!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, if only I could kiss him deeply on his manly full unwaivering lips and massage his strong evil fighting morally clear shoulders to show him thanks! But alas, that wouldn&#8217;t be enough!<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I, for one, once again realize how lucky I am to still simply be alive. Thanks to one Uniting-Not-Dividing, Honor-and-Dignity-to-the-Whitehouse-Restoring, Tone-Changing, Legitimately-Elected, Unwaivering-in-the-Face-of-Evil, Do-Gooding, Selected-by-God Leader of the Greatest Country on Earth by the name of George W. Bush! Thank you, Mr. &#8220;President&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Got a <i>very<\/i> quick look at some of the Comments that have be posted over the past week. Good stuff! Looking forward to doing a bit of Commenting on some of those Comments myself in the coming days!<\/p>\n<p>P.P.S. <b>Congratulations to the people of Dallas!<\/b> For making <i>Fahrenheit 9\/11<\/i> their number one film choice on it&#8217;s opening weekend by huge numbers! The biggest Documentary in Texas history! And in only three days! And kudos to Dallasites for continuing to turn out for <i>F9\/11<\/i> the following week in equally impressive numbers! (Numbers that dropped off much less significantly even than <i>Spider-Man 2<\/i> did in Dallas theaters over the very same days!) Perhaps everyone in Dallas isn&#8217;t the backwards, backwater, deluded, bible-thumping, Fake Conservative moron that the state&#8217;s most famous son (of late) and his blindly faithful and blissfully ignorant supporters would make one believe!
