Mr Roberts, Paul,
I stand for truth, and I'm honored to be your admirer. It's scary finally seeing everything you believe to be true actually out there and written by a well known and respected man of honor.. Everything I know to be true, what I have been telling anyone who will listen is finally written in words I couldn't find, for the thoughts so difficult to express. Thank you for this article. I am eternally grateful to read it and find someone who gets the truth and writes it. I have been so tired and so scared thinking no one is awake, no one will ever write what I believe to be true and I am overcome with gratitude after reading your column.

United States is still the nation closest to this ideal. Complimentarily, I believe in the Founding
sentiment expressed by Francis Scott Key: And conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this
be our motto: In God is our trust!
I believe that Condi should resign, but because she is too pro-Palestinian. We must never allow a
Palestinian state, for it will be a terrorist state. Look at Gaza. Furthermore, we must call Judea and Samaria
Judea and Samaria.
