Any Commander-In-Chief worthy of the title will emphatically resist any reduction in any aspect of U. S. military readiness.  He will throw all the weight of his office backing preparedness and superiority over our enemies—current and potential.  And he will passionately appeal to the patriotism of Americans, who will have it no other way.

Is there anything more critical in the office of President of the United States of America than Commander-In-Chief, or did I miss something in the Constitution?

I wish every American could read my passion, and pressure Washington to reverse course and reclaim our resolve and restrengthen our military.

“Never, never, never, never, never, never, never give up.”

What adjectives do you need to describe a Texan?

Would the complete list include the following:

—proud

—loyal

—independent

—patriotic

—good

—old fashioned (values)

—hard-working

—brave

—native

—devoted

—unconventional

—one-of-a-kind

—volatile (if you mess with Texas, you may wish you hadn’t)

Okay, I could easily go on with more adjectives, because I believe in them personally.  But let me tell you what prompted the list.  I here make an apology to all who did not hear my severe mis-statement about Texas yesterday.  My friend nailed me for accidentally saying “ordinary Texan” in a conversation about my loyalty to Texas.  I promise I will never make that mistake again.

Now, back to the list.  I do not need to make the list complete, or even add to it.  In fact, we don’t need that list altogether.  Truth is, ” T E X A N ”  stands alone, speaks for itself, needs no adjective.

Several months ago I wrote about the various words to describe politicians, and they are many and colorful.  But no one ever puts an adjective in front of  “statesman.”

So it is with     ”  T  E  X  A  N  “.

You haven’t seen the last of us.  More later, or sooner.
