Today, four years after 3000+ Americans were killed by Islamofacist terrorists, my resolve to destroy our enemies is stronger than ever. And my resolve to oppose those—even our own citizens—who would apologize for or side with those terrorists, is just as strong.

Once the Left found dead bodies in New Orleans that were more important than the dead body of Casey Sheehan (in terms of the Left being able to use said dead bodies as a reason to bash President Bush), Cindy Sheehan’s 15 minutes were all but over.

Last night a new NFL season kicked-off. But Hunter was not around to see it. Too bad for him—it was a good game.

Water would have to rise about 600′ for my house to get a drop in the front door. And we’re not quite in tornado alley, either. The chances of our being displaced from our home due to natural disaster are remote at best.

I am anti-union. Very anti-union. I think that there was a time and a place for them, and they were much needed then. But not now. That time has long passed.

Posted by Robbie Cooper on September 5th, 2005 | Trackback

Tonight, with news-story-after-news-story coming out of Texas—I have never been prouder to be a Texan. My hometown of Houston has shown itself to be a city of generous heart and spirit.
