Got the following in an e-mail and thought it was worth sharing:
The Hollywood group is at it again. Holding anti-war rallies,
screaming about the Bush Administration, running ads in major newspapers,
defaming the President and his Cabinet every chance they get with names like
"stupid", "morons", and "idiots". Jessica Lange went so far as to tell
a crowd in Spain that she hates President Bush and is embarrassed to be
an American.
So, just how ignorant are these people who are running the country?
Let's look at the biographies of these "stupid", "ignorant",
"moronic" leaders, and then at the celebrities who are castigating them:
President George W. Bush: Received a Bachelors Degree from Yale
University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. He served as an
F-102 pilot for the Texas Air National Guard.
Vice President Dlck Cheney: Earned a B. A. in 1965 and a M. A. in
1966, both in political science.
Secretary of State Colin Powell: Educated in the New York City public
schools, graduating from the City College of New York (CCNY), where he
earned a Bachelor's Degree in geology. His further academic
achievements include a Master of Business Administration Degree from
George Washington University. Secretary Powell is the recipient of
numerous U. S. and foreign military awards and decorations.
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld: Attended Princeton University on
Scholarship (AB, 1954) and served in the U. S. Navy (1954-57) as a
Navalaviator.
Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge: Raised in a working class
family in veterans' public housing in Erie, he earned a scholarship to
Harvard, graduating with honors in 1967. After his first year at The
Dlckinson School of Law, he was drafted into the U. S. Army, where he
served as an infantry staff sergeant in Vietnam, earning the Bronze
Star for Valor.
National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice: Earned her Bachelor's
Degree in Political Science, Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the
University of Denver in 1974; her Master's from the University of Notre Dame in
1975; and her Ph. D. from the Graduate School of International Studies
at the University of Denver in 1981. (Note: Rice enrolled at the
University of Denver at the age of 15, graduating at 19 with a
Bachelor's Degree in Political Science (Cum Laude).

While comparing the education and experience of these two groups, we
should also remember that President Bush and his cabinet are briefed
daily, even hourly, on the War on Terror and threats to our security.
They are privy to information gathered around the world concerning the
Middle East, the threats to America, the intentions of terrorists and
terrorist-supporting governments. They are in constant communication
with the CIA, the FBI, Interpol, NATO, The United Nations, our own
military, and that of our allies around the world. We cannot simply
believe that we have full knowledge of the threats because we watch
CNN. We cannot believe that we are in any way as informed as our
leaders.
These celebrities have no intelligence-gathering agents, no
fact-finding groups, no insight into the minds of those who would destroy our
country. The silence was deafening from the Left when Bill Clinton
bombed a pharmaceutical factory outside of Khartoum, or when he
attacked the Bosnian Serbs in 1995 and 1999. He bombed Serbia itself to get
Slobodan Milosevic out of Kosovo, and not a single peace rally was
held.
When our Rangers were ambushed in Somalia and 18 young American lives
were lost, not a peep was heard from Hollywood. Yet now, after our
nation has been attacked on its own soil, after 3,000 Americans were
killed by freedom-hating terrorists while going about their routine
lives, they hold rallies against the war.
It is time for us, as citizens of the United States, to educate
ourselves about the world around us. If future generations are going
to enjoy the freedoms that our forefathers bequeathed us, if they are
ever to know peace in their own country and their world, to live without
fear of terrorism striking in their own cities, we must assure that this
nation remains strong. We must make certain that those who would
destroy us are made aware of the severe consequences that will befall them.
Yes, it's a wonderful dream to sit down with dictators and terrorists
and join hands, talking of world peace. But it is not real. We did not
stop Adolf Hitler from taking over the entire continent of Europe by
simply talking to him. We sent our best and brightest, and with
strength and determination defeated the Nazi regime. President John F. Kennedy
did not stop the Soviet ships from unloading their nuclear missiles in
Cuba in 1962 with mere words. He stopped them with action and threat
of immediate war. We did not end the Cold War with conferences. It ended
because of the strong belief of President Ronald Reagan...PEACE
through STRENGTH.
FYI..March 19 2003 US Senate has voted 99 to zip to back President
Bush and the US military during this trying time.
