The person in the picture with me on my website is my father, not an older brother.

I’ve never heard of either of your sites. From the posts I’ve read, I can understand why. I gather we do not agree.

If you could, and you don’t mind, would you sum up for me what your web site is all about. What your political leanings are, etc etc. It would help me understand where you guys are coming from.

Quite often, our own viewpoints on things make it difficult to truly judge other’s writings. The true meaning gets clouded by our own ideologies.

I don’t want to misunderstand you, like many of your readers have done with my metaphors.

This might also be of some interest.

My story simply was saying that Democrats respond to terrorism like docile bees, Conservatives have the real hornet like response (ie Bush, right or wrong)

I write a story each week. That was my 82nd or so. Sometimes you have to stretch the brain for metaphors and ideas to keep your posts fresh.

Take it for what it’s worth. …And lighten up!

And while you’re wading around in the http://www.fromthepen.com pool, check out Alan Hamilton “Buddy” Swing’s children’s story, “Bumpkin the Christmas Pumpkin.” Maurice Sendak he ain’t.

“It’s because of Bush and the creed of the hornet that right now, somewhere on Earth, there’s an 8-year-old Muslim extremist with rocks in his hands asking his brother if he wants to help attack America. The brother will look at him and say, ‘Only if honey bees are guarding the nest.’”

So, in some kind of entomological duplex, the nest appears to be shared by hornets and honeybees. And the bees are “docile,” because as we all know, bees never form into swarms and inflict punishment.

“I stopped laughing the moment the first hornet stung me some 26 years ago, and I guarantee that no Muslim extremist is laughing now.”
