"QUOTE"

I would never mistreat one of my horses, one of my cows nor my dog or cat, much less mistreat another human being. Therefore I am just as shocked and outraged about the treatment of the prisoners in Iraq as anybody is. I think, no, I know, it's deplorable and the people responsible should be sought out and punished.

Now having said that let me say this. This thing has been blown so far out of proportion it's a wonder it doesn't explode. I was in Germany during the high point of the controversy and about the only English speaking channels I could get were BBC and CNN. Well, take the anti-American position of CNN America and multiply it by ten, and then you've got CNN International.

If the BBC represented, which it doesn't, the opinions of the majority of the British people, we would have to consider England an enemy. It is so blatantly anti-American. They spent hours and hours on the Iraqi prisoner abuses. You would think that it was the only thing happening in the world. I heard one woman anchor ask, "Will the Americans ever be able to take the moral high ground again?"

That's not only stupid, it's insulting and asinine. A handful of people out of a population of two hundred and sixty million plus go rogues and this ignorant wench condemns the whole nation? Should we condemn the whole of the British Isles because of Kim Philby, the English traitor who helped give Russia our nuclear secrets? I dare say his actions caused ten million times the pain and anguish than those
of a few outlaw American soldiers.

Where were you, BBC and CNN, when our American citizens were hung from a bridge
and set on fire in Iraq? Where were you when Idi Amin was dragging our dead soldier
around the dusty streets of Somalia? Did you devote hour after hour of coverage
condemning the monsters? Did you continue to show the awful images almost non-stop
and call in puffed up, so called experts to tell us just how bad the events were?
Hell no you didn't.

And you, Ted Kennedy, you supercilious old gas bag, how dare you compare the acts
of a few soldiers to the murderous regime of Saddam Hussein. Senator, in case you
hadn't noticed no one died here. In fact your car has killed more people than these
misguided soldiers did. We have 130,000 military personnel in Iraq. How many were
involved in this atrocity? 10? 20? 30? And yet to listen to Kennedy and his ilk,
or the major media, you would think that they were all involved.

Let's look at this thing for what it is... an isolated incident which does not in
any way, shape or form represent the character of the fine young men and women who
serve in our Armed Forces. This is the third time, Senator Kennedy, but I'll extend
the invitation again. How about you, me and a camera crew hopping on a plane and
going over to Iraq and Afghanistan and talk to the men and women who are fighting
the war, so you can get a little attitude adjustment? Or had you rather continue
to be blinded to reality by your hatred of our Commander and Chief? Check your calendar, we're trying to put a trip together for November. Pray for our troops. What do you think?

God Bless America! Charlie Daniels

For a real comparison consider what the victors in almost every war in history have done to the their enemies. Looted everything in sight, raped the women, killed all of the men who dared oppose them openly, and enslaved the rest.

Yes the country singer, actually he's one of the finest fiddle players in the country, his country music to me is more of a radical style of country music, The Devil Went Down to Georgia, was a very popular song that he did, but that was probably before your time.

Devil Went Down To Georgia
Charlie Daniels Band


The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came upon this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell you what

I guess you didn't know it
But I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you

The boy said my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been

Johnny rosin up your bow
And play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia
And the devil deals the cards
And if you win
You get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul

The devil opened up his case
And he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

When the devil finished
Johnny said well you're pretty good old son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done

Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet

Johnny said, Devil just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
'Cause I told you once you son of a gun
I'm the best that's ever been

He played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny will your dog bite
No child, no

He's playing lead guitar on a violin. When I lived in Ohio I saw a local heavy metal band play "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", and the guitarist had all of the fiddle solos nailed perfectly. It was cool. :cool:

When they sang, "Fire on the mountains run boy run," and the rest of that part, the place turned into a total mosh-pit. It was insanity.

Well, I have been known to don the beer goggles and cop off with munters I wouldn't touch with a barge pole whilst sober. Fortunately I didn't succumb to the teenage temptress when her true (school) age was revealed. Instead I scarpered.

Oh yes, but that was tempered by the though of several RMP's using my body as a football when I got caught.

However, in my pre-army years, I did succumb to the charms of a rather fine hottie. Think I told you about her.

Where'd you go for so long?

Seems like a couple of months since I saw you posting frequently.

I had you in mind when I got my new power supply, I almost went with an Enermax but pricewise the Thermaltake 560w with all the individual cabling sleeved, and its solid power rating just caught my monetary output attention, and when I got the thing I have to admit it was impressive, way past what I was expecting, of course time will tell on the performance scale, but so far KUDOS.

Your Enermax has served you well since you purchased it hasn't it, no problems at all right?
