Gordon Brown - Our courageous leader? - 42 days.
2008-06-02 21:00:00 Apparently Ed Balls told Today that Mr Brown would not be forced to resign if the Government lost the vote on 42 days:"In the end, leadership is about doing the right thing. I think the public will support Gordon Brown. "It is about showing leadership at difficult times and showing courage, compared to opposition parties who are playing politics with this."Where do we start?Gordon Brown's idea of leadership is: I'm in charge. We will do as I say....until my MPs tell me different. And why does courage come into it? If Brown knew what the word meant he wouldn't have cancelled the election, backed down over the 10p tax fiasco, dodged signing the Lisbon Treaty with the other leaders, dodged the EU-Africa summit in Lisbon and stitched up Baroness Amos to take his place or reneged on the Labour manifesto promise to give us a referendum (because we would vote NO). Like an Italian Tank, he's got gears, but they are all reverse ones.And as for "The public will support Gordon Brown" what ...

Be Strong and Courageous!
2008-03-25 16:20:00 I can only imagine what the leadership transition was like from Moses to Joshua. Just think what happens today when Pastors transition at churches... but imagine a million people. Wowzers. Talk about pressure!But the amazing thing is... Almighty God assured Joshua that He had his back. Check this:"I promise you what I promised Moses: 'Everywhere you go, you will be on land I have given you...'" Joshua 1:3"No one will be able to stand their ground against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you." Joshua 1:5And then the LORD goes into sounding like a broken record... in Joshua 1:6-9 He states to be strong and courageous three times!Something I find even more exciting is Jesus spoke those same words over His disciples Matthew 28:20: "I am with you always!"Good stuff.His Word makes life's circumstances seem so stinkin' small. Quote for Today's BLOG:"Those who are readiest to trust God without other evidence than His Wo...

Are You Morally Courageous?
2008-02-20 17:08:00 "Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence." -Robert Kennedy, Former U.S. Attorney General and Senator, Robert Kennedy books//Are you a morally courageous person? I'm not talking about being a 'holy roller' or acting morally superior; instead, I'm wondering how often you have the courage to stick by your beliefs or convictions, especially when they may not be popular. The peer pressure to go along with the crowd is often more than one can bear. Think about the challenges you faced as a teenager with regard to being popular (or not); the temptation to contribute to the rumor mill or gossip chain at work; and, the opportunities to advance yourself in life at the expense of others. Most people know that succumbing to these behaviors is a direct violation of their morals, but they often do it anyway. Kennedy accurately points out that "moral courage" is a rare thing to find. Even the smartest and bravest people you know are likely to abandon the...

Living a Courageous Life
2007-12-07 16:39:00 "One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest." -Maya Angelou, American Poet, Actress and Civil Rights Leader, Maya Angelou books// Everyone has the potential to be courageous. Some learn how to make courage an habitual behavior, taking risks on a daily basis and, seemingly, living a daring life without fear. Others might call this constant risk-taking stupidity more than courage, but facing down fear is usually ascribed to courage. What does it really mean, though, to live a courageous life? And, how do we recognize courage in ourselves?... To read the rest of this post, please click the headline and go to the Thoughts On Quotes site.

Analysis: Obama a 'Courageous Leader'?
2007-10-02 22:05:00 Nobody can dispute that Barack Obama opposed the Iraq war from the start and, with striking prescience, predicted U.S. troops would be mired in a costly conflict that fanned ''the flames of the Middle East.'' But nobody should accept at face value the Illinois senator's claim that he was a ''courageous leader'' who opposed the war at great political risk. The truth is that while Obama showed foreign policy savvy and an ability to keenly analyze both sides of an issue in his October 2002 warnings on Iraq, the political upside of his position rivaled any risk. And, once elected to the U.S. Senate two years later, Obama waited months to show national leadership on Iraq. Even now, as he hopes to ride his anti-war credentials to the White House, Obama's views on how to end the conflict differ little from those of Democratic rivals who voted in the fall of 2002 to give President Bush authority to wage war. At the time, two-thirds of Americans supported military action again...
Courageous Judge Restores Rule of Law
2007-09-27 18:19:00 Patriot Act Provisions Voided - washingtonpost.com A federal judge in Oregon ruled yesterday that two provisions of the USA Patriot Act are unconstitutional, marking the second time in as many weeks that the anti-terrorism law has come under attack in the courts. In a case brought by a Portland man who was wrongly detained as a terrorism suspect in 2004, U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken ruled that the Patriot Act violates the Constitution because it "permits the executive branch of government to conduct surveillance and searches of American citizens without satisfying the probable cause requirements of the Fourth Amendment." "For over 200 years, this Nation has adhered to the rule of law -- with unparalleled success," Aiken wrote in a strongly worded 44-page opinion. "A shift to a Nation based on extra-constitutional authority is prohibited, as well as ill-advised." The ruling in Oregon follows a separate finding on Sept. 6 by a federal judge in New York, who struck down provisions...
John McCain: Courageous Service VIDEO
2007-09-05 02:19:00 On July 29 1967, John narrowly survived the first of many near-death experiences during his lifetime while preparing to take off on a bombing mission over North Vietnam from his ship, the USS Forrestal. A missile accidentally fired from a nearby plane struck the fuel tanks on John's plane and created a deadly inferno aboard the ship. John barely escaped the fiery disaster that killed 134 men, injured hundreds more and destroyed 20 planes.Instead of taking the option to return home after the Forrestal disaster, Senator McCain volunteered for more combat duty - a fateful decision that stopped the clock on his life and separated him from his family, and country, for five and a half years.During his 23rd bombing mission on October 26, 1967, a missile struck John's plane and forced him to eject, knocking him unconscious and breaking both his arms and his leg. John was then taken as a prisoner of war into the now infamous "Hanoi Hilton," where he was denied necessary medical treatment a...

Courageous Kids Drive A HUMMER Car
2007-04-20 04:35:00 We all knew how boring it is to stay in a hospital. Being a patient is not fun. Of course, who would enjoy being trapped in a sterile environment where having fun your own way is prohibited? Like kids, patients need to play, but in pediatric wards, they often have to face surgical and medical treatments that require them to do a complete bed rest which is kinda boring for them. And also these treatments can be scary and dreadful for them so I guess it is just better if the hospital adds up a little recreation for these kids to at least enjoy their stay at the hospital.This is the exact advocacy of the HUMMER brand when they decided to pursue the program they call Courageous Kids. The program is benefiting kids a lot and at the same time, it is also advertising their car brand name. It actually helps the young kids who are confined in a hospital by means of giving recreational activities to make their stay less intimidating. So instead of staying at their room staring at the lame whi...
Ethiopia deserves much praise for their courageous takedown
2006-12-29 15:50:05 Bill Roggio (via Hot Air) reports that Ethiopia has routed the Mogadishu. As Bryan says here:There should be no allowance for any cease-fire talks until the Islamists are well and truly crushed. Keep the UN and the Arab League as far from this fight as possible until it?s truly finished. The Ethiopians and the transitional Somali government forces, fighting together against the Islamists in spite of a history of war between Ethiopia and Somalia, should not make the same mistake Israel and the US have made in Lebanon and Iraq and Afghanistan. They should win the fight outright and dictate terms to the surviving Islamists. Foreign fighters should either be imprisoned and tried for their crimes or, well, imprisoned and tried for their crimes. Anything less, and the Islamists will go to ground and come back with an insurgency in a few months or a year.Absolutely correct. Ethiopia needs to set an important example in the fight against Islamofascism by bringing down the Mogadishu right to...

Faith is reason grown courageous. ? Sherwood Eddy
2006-12-23 21:54:14 I’m watching Jay Leno interview Dustin Hoffman, which is delightful. The mere lack of reference to Rosie O’Donnell or The Donald is refreshing. I’ve seen people show their asses before of course, but the two of them should be shut in a room to shield us from both of them. I have tried to warm up to The Donald over the years, allowing as how he might just be human. Well, he might be human but apparently he’s also a jackass. She has never been my favorite person but her behavior has been disappointing nonetheless. Mind you, I have no idea what started their feud (nor am I interested). But at least the feud between The Dixie Chicks and Toby Keith was entertaining. I can scarcely skip from channel to channel fast enough to get away from another odious retelling of this ridiculosity. It reached its nadir when I was not swift enough with the remote to get away from The Donald describing Rosie’s repulsiveness inside and out. Now, I never imagined that...
