While the democrat party continues to plot the defeat of the United States, those of us with brains would like to remind you of the reality of the situation. A quick click of the link below will take you directly to the official CIA report on the subject. Bear in mind that the head of the CIA at the time was a Clinton appointee and NOT a member of the Bush administration.
https://www.cia.gov/cia/reports/iraq_wmd/Iraq_Oct_2002.htm
On that same front, the war on terror (a phrase that the Stalinist left wants to remove from the dialog because they don't wish to believe it) continues to advance on fronts that matter. A former member of Saddam's staff, General Georges Hormuz Sada authored a book titled "Saddam's Secrets" in which he lets the world see behind the curtain into Saddam's little evil empire. The following link should take you to Amazon.com where you can get the book and read it for yourself.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1591454042/interactiveda468-20
Mr Sada, who is now the senior military adviser for the current President of Iraq, details the many WMD programs Saddam had going and the movement of those weapons to Syria via ground convoy and air shipments. How does he know? He was in charge of the operation! Naturally you've not seen or heard anything from the main stream media about this man or reviews of his book. Geeeeeee..... I wonder how come? Oh yeah...... the truth doesn't fit in with the democrat party line or the main stream media template. We certainly can't have something as trivial as the truth getting in the way of the democrat agenda now, can we?
And then we have that tired ass bunch of jerks who just can't seem to push hard enough to extract their heads from their anal cavities. You can find this bunch in the House, Senate and main stream media........ but wait....... I repeat myself. They are all in bed with each other so they are all the same. This is the "Bush lied, people died" bunch. Good with a catchy phrase but none have ever seemed to have been able to activate two brain cells at the same time. Once again if you follow this helpful link you can enlighten yourself. (CAUTION! For liberals this process could be very painful..... proceed with extreme care!)

Yes, my dear friends, there has been a lot of homework in this posting. However, unless you are armed with the truth and the facts it's far too easy for the main stream liberal media and the Stalinist leftists to perpetuate their version of reality. Look at how many people fall for their lies each and every day. They are like the snake in the Garden of Eden. They deceive with such skill that it is far too easy to swallow their pap.
Look at what the left "stands" for! Currently they stand for the defeat of the US in the war against terrorism. On one had they say they only want to "protect" innocent life by bringing our troops home. On the other hand they support the slaughter of over 4500 truly innocent lives each and every week through abortion. They support more and higher taxes for Americans even though, as a result of the Bush tax cuts, revenues have never been higher! They support the maintenance of racial separation through affirmative action programs which advance discrimination. They stand for the destruction of free enterprise and capitalism through punitive regulations, restrictions and taxation. (Can anyone out there remember the last time an Oil Refinery was built in the United States? HINT! It was prior to the Carter Administration) They stand for the indoctrination of our children through the government schools and the teachers unions. Simply look at the far left agenda that is advanced at all levels of education from elementary school through college. Little things like making the watching of "An Inconvenient Truth" (Al Gore's crock-u-mentory movie) without providing ANY truth or balance to counter his fiction. They say they want freedom of speech but ONLY for speech THEY approve of. The left can say anything.... even calling the President "HITLER" but someone from the right can't even pay a 100 year old friend a compliment at his home without being condemned by the left. They stand for bringing back the "Fairness Doctrine" to stifle any and all speech that they do not approve of. This is Stalinist activity at it's most basic level and typical of how the left operates while being shielded from attack and wholly supported by their sycophant media friends.
Yep! The left stands for a lot of things...... all of which are bad for America. Fortunately the truth is out there but with the media electing not to report anything that doesn't fit their agenda it can be rather difficult to locate at times. Fortunately I have done the hard work for you so all you have to do is click for instant enlightenment. Just another service I gladly provide.

Pay Attention, America!
It seems that most people in America live their lives with the controls set to autopilot. Everything they do is so predictable and routine that they simply fail to pay attention to the larger world around them. If something doesn't directly impact their neatly structured little world they are comfortable with just not caring. Further, most people seem to think (feel) that they have no say when it comes to things governmental other than voting occasionally.
What they fail to realize is that our elected officials in Washington D.C. are working (pardon that expression) every day to limit our liberty and restrict our freedoms. Look at it this way. Every single time a new law or regulation is passed we have collectively just lost a bit of personal control over our lives. It's no more difficult to understand than that. The assault on our collective liberties and freedoms is a matter of concern for all Americans. You do have a voice beyond voting! It's as simple as writing or calling your elected Representatives. Yes... sadly that does require some effort.... but not enough to cause you to sweat. Here are some of the assaults that are underway at this time.
The "Fairness Doctrine"
I've mentioned this before so you can read those comments also. Frankly there is absolutely nothing fair about the fairness doctrine. It's a cute sounding name and that's it. What that cute name masks is Stalinist repression of speech and public discourse.
The targets of the fairness doctrine are those who do not toe the liberal party line and regurgitate their political talking points. For example, Air America is just fine with the left but folks Like Limbaugh and Hannity have to allow "corrections" to their opinions and "right wing hate speech." If you really want to hear hate speech.... give air America a listen some day.
The FOX network is also a target of the fairness doctrine. Why? They give both sides of a story or issue and let you decide what to think about it! If you're a leftist that kind of irresponsible journalism simply cannot be tolerated. If you are old enough to remember the Soviet Union and Pravda then you can understand what kind of press the left wants in America today.
All you have to do is watch any network but FOX to see the kind of reporting they think is fair. (Not that FOX is all that great when it comes to representing the whole picture, but they are a bit better.) Take Iraq. Mainstream media beats suicide bombings and troop losses into us relentlessly. Can you remember even one positive story on any of the major networks? How much coverage have the over 5000 public works projects received? Do you remember them showing the Iraqi families taking their kids to the circus in Baghdad? Coverage of the thriving Iraqi stock market? How about coverage of the normal lives and freedom from fear and oppression in the 95% of Iraq that is peaceful and quiet? Nope! Not a word. Why is that? Because the left says the war is wrong. They say it's going badly and we must get out now! If they told the truth and showed the American people the whole story then we'd all be able to see just how well things are going and how much good we've done for the average Iraqi citizen. That sort of one sided reporting is what the left needs to seize and maintain power.
TAXES
Lord knows this is my least favorite thing. I hate being robbed and not having the option of of giving the robber a sound thrashing. Those with a functional brain know and understand that if the people get to keep more of the money they bust their butts for everything is better. We can save more, invest more, afford to buy better things, enjoy a better life and live in a better economy. John Kennedy knew that, Reagan knew that and Bush knows that. I've discussed this topic before too so read back in the blog and educate yourself.
The wonderful democrats are planning two HUGE tax increases if they are able to seize power completely. One is a stealth tax increase that will add around $2000 to the tax bill of the average tax payer. The other is a $450 BILLION dollar tax increase that they hope to pass into law. This is more than twice as big as the Clinton tax increases.
The stealth increase comes from legislative inactivity. If they do nothing.... then the Bush tax cuts will expire in 2010. Trust me. If the liberals seize and maintain control of government they WILL do absolutely nothing. This, combined with their new planned hikes, will serve to take us back to those wonderful days of the Carter administration. (look it up kids) Out of control inflation, home mortgage interest rates in the low 20% range, and a misery index for the American people. Just lovely! You have less money in your pocket and everything you want or need costs more...... figure it out.
The F.D.A.
The Food and Drug Administration recently posted an innocent little 14 page document on their official web site. It's called "Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration." This document is open to public comments until April 30, 2007 - just a few days from now.
Here's what it boils down to: If you use an herbal or dietary supplement to stay healthy or to help prevent an ailment, that's fine. But if any supplement is used to treat a symptom, then it's a medicine and will be regulated by the FDA, just like any prescription drug. And there's a qualifying statement to that second part: The supplement will be exempted if it is "generally recognized, among experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drugs, as safe and effective for use under the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling."
In other words, the freedom to use a supplement to treat a condition will be at the discretion of FDA experts. And given the track record of FDA experts, this is really bad news. With this spacious latitude, there's no telling just how far the FDA might go to restrict access to supplements. For instance, they could take a widely used supplement off the market if the label states a benefit; such as using lutein to reduce the damage from age-related macular degeneration, or using chondroitin and glucosamine to reduce joint pain, or using probiotics to address digestive problems - the list goes on and on. Under the proposed FDA guidelines even bottled water might be considered a drug if used to alleviate severe dehydration, which is an emergency medical condition. Think about this, Yoplait Yogurt contains probiotics. If this law passes you'd have to get a Doctors Prescription and see a pharmacist to buy yogurt!!

I'm not saying that the republicans have been the sharpest tools in the Washington D.C. shed lately. Lord knows they they have drifted away from the Reagan brand of conservatism that serves the country and it's people best. The prescription drug plan should have never passed. McCain Fiengold should have never been signed. There is a laundry list of things that they have done, or failed to do, and they do need their feet held to the proverbial fire. But unless we the people write to and call our elected officials they are operating in a vacuum. How can they do what WE want them to do if WE don't bug them to death and let them know?
If you are lucky enough to have republican representation then, by all means, get off your dying dead ass and bug the hell out of that person! The way they do the numbers is that each e-mail counts as the opinion of 10 voters and each phone call counts for 100. That is how they gauge public opinion on issues. If you are unfortunate enough to have a democrat representative then you are served just as well by going to Starbucks for a double latte. In their opinion the last brilliant thing you did was elect them. From that point forward you are simply far too stupid to understand the issues or have any input of any value whatsoever. THEY know what is best for you and they will ram it down your throat, like it or not.
There is some small hope, however. Elections still happen. Grow a brain and cast your vote for someone else next time you have the opportunity.

Treason and Fairness
This is another one of those days when, while just setting here, I'm getting dizzy as hell. The reason? All those Stalinist in the House and Senate who are working so very hard towards the complete and total destruction of this country. For the record.... there is a reason why we are called the RIGHT! That's because we ARE!. You folks on the left obviously represent what is left over when you are not right. The dizziness is from watching my beloved country going down the toilet thanks to these anti-American assholes. In honor of our freedom and liberty reaching yet another all time low I celebrated by acquiring another pistol. 15 shot capacity with a laser designator sighted in at a comfortable 60 foot standoff range. The ultimate taking of the last bit of my own personal freedom will not be as easy as the liberals steady erosion of all freedom in general.
The actions of the Neo-Dem's in the House and Senate sink to an entirely untouched level in the history of the nation. For someone with a clear and unclouded view of the world it is beyond comprehension how the Neo-Dem's can keep getting everything so incredibly wrong. I suspect that 99.99% of their myopia is due to pure political blindness. The left never fails to filter everything they encounter through their political agenda. America, it's roll and responsibility in the world and the freedom of it's citizens is subordinated to their political aspirations. Nothing else matters to the Neo-Dem's but their acquisition and maintenance of political power. They would literally destroy the entire nation if, in the end, it would result in them being in power and lording that power over what is left when the dust settles.
I'm someone who has very little regard for politics in general. Politics is, for the most part, a self serving exercise. For those who have the Neo-Dem attitude of supreme self importance the reason for becoming a political animal becomes distorted. Rather than attempting to serve their fellow man and advancing the cause of America and it's interests they instead abandon everything but their pursuit of personal power. This past week in Washington DC serves as an excellent illustration of that corruption.
A very vocal anti-American faction in the House and Senate worked tirelessly to cripple our efforts in Iraq and hand President Bush a Vietnam like defeat. Why? Purely political reasons. IF President Bush and our troops are supported and permitted to bring stability to Iraq then it points to the soundness and validity to his efforts to defeat terrorists around the world. That validation also would point out the wrongheaded thinking and efforts of the Neo-Dem's. Our victory in Iraq would lead to an erosion of power for the Neo-Dem's and that is something that they simply cannot permit. Thus, in order to maintain their power, they must do everything possible to make victory in Iraq an impossible dream. Their short sighted ambitions represent the lowest level to which they can possibly sink. They would gladly welcome another American defeat on the battlefield. They could care less about the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens who would be slaughtered at the hands of the Islamofascists from Iran. They care less that the image of America as a strong and faithful ally is utterly destroyed. It matters not to them if their actions leave the world more dangerous or if it greatly increases the likelihood that America will be hit again by terror. What matters above all else is that President Bush leave office as a failure so that they can beat their political drum and herald themselves as having been right all along about the war not being something we could ever win. (Never mind that they never supported it and did everything possible to ensure defeat) Their actions are nothing short of Treason and they need to be called on it and held accountable!
The other comment is about the (so called) "Fairness doctrine". This is another dimension of the Stalinist wing of the former democrat party. Just as in Old Joe's Russia, those seeking to seize and maintain power cannot tolerate any point of view that differs from the party line. Here the Neo-Dem's advance an agenda item and then their faithful friends in the "mainstream" media carry their water in endless sound bites and reaffirming interviews with like minded fellow Neo-Dem's and R.I.N.O.'s. Opposing points of view are rarely heard. If they are given a small voice they are always derided, ridiculed or belittled in some way. At the end of the daily "news" broadcast the Neo-Dem party line has been advanced and all opposing viewpoints have been ignored, buried, played down or just plain distorted beyond recognition. The Neo-Dem's so fear the truth and opposing points of view that they call for FOX news to have it's broadcast license revoked! They also demand this so called "fairness doctrine" to make sure that if a broadcast dare present an opposing view they have to allow someone who toes the party line time to give that view too.
Who is this "Fairness Doctrine" aimed at anyway? Well you can damn sure bet that it's NOT targeting ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, or any of the "mainstream" print media offerings. Those folks are all on board with the Neo-Dem's. In their opinion they are already more than fair in their reporting! (Yeah.... and I'll bet a fish knows it's wet too!) Wait!.... I might have to explain that comment since there might be a Neo-Dem reading this. (Oh, bother) It's an analogy (comparison) used to illustrate that if one (either the fish or the press) has only one frame of reference then it is impossible for them to give an objective assessment or evaluation of a specific state or condition. In the case of the fish, since it has no concept of what dry is it cannot logically comprehend the term wet, or how that term related to its condition or very existence. In the case of the media, since their overall slant and direction is hard leftist, it is impossible for them to give any sort of logical rational treatment to anything that doesn't fit neatly inside that prism or template. Basically they believe and are in lockstep with what the Neo-Dem's are saying so, in their view, they are fair and objective. Those guys say it.... we believe it..... and there just can't be anyone who could possibly disagree unless they are evil, insane or otherwise deranged. The political bias of the media is so flagrant that it's a wonder they have any followers at all except for the Moveon.org left wing Stalinist types.
No.... the "Fairness Doctrine" is aimed squarely at you and me. It is directed at suppression of any and all speech that differs with the Neo-Dem party line as presented by them and advanced by the "mainstream" media. For example it means that, if enacted, we would never hear Hilary Clinton's passionate delivery on the floor of the Senate when she stated that, after looking at ALL the facts, she was absolutely convinced that Saddam (room temperature) Hussein had chemical and biological weapons and was working at acquiring nuclear weapons as well. That we had to use force to remove him from power and she fully supported President Bush! Since that position now contradicts her current position it would be buried. The "mainstream" Media would make sure that such contradictions, by the left, never saw the light of day again. But! Because we still have some freedom left it's still legal for the truth to be told!!! Those who do, however, are under constant attack by the left. Why does the left so fear the truth? Because their power depends wholly upon them being in absolute, iron fisted, control over everything that you get to see and hear. Their agenda..... their views..... their goals..... their version of reality and the truth is all that they will tolerate getting to the people. Let them have their way and we end up like Stalin's Russia or the current mainland China. Remember those video's of the people demonstrating for freedom? Remember the guy in front of the tank? Remember the little statue of Liberty? In Mainland China...... none of that happened. The party says so and their media reports it as such. THAT is what the left wants to do with the "Fairness Doctrine" here in America.
Hey! America!!! Wake up!! There is a fifth column within our borders and stalking the halls of government and the seats of power in all the states that wants to tear you down and replace you with their version of socialism/Stalinism. We either stop them now or everything we know and love about this great nation will be lost forever.
One final thought. When Al Gore was testifying on the floor of the House he said that he'd been trying to get out the message about global warming for 30 years. That makes it 1977. Now in 1975 Time magazine was running a cover piece about the coming ICE AGE!!! Yes.... evidence was coming in SO fast that scientists couldn't tabulate it fast enough. There was "consensus" that we HAD to do something NOW in order to reverse this alarming trend of global cooling or we'd all starve to death or end up as human Popsicles. Yet.... Al (D student in science) Gore knew even then that global warming was just around the corner in spite of all that consensus and scientific data pouring in. Gee..... isn't he the one who NOW says that if you disagree with him that you're some kind of earth hater who wants the planet to burn up? If he thought in 1977 that the earth was really warming up.... wasn't HE disagreeing with the science and consensus of that time? Double standard anyone?
The actions of the Neo-Dem's in the House and Senate sink to an entirely untouched level in the history of the nation. For someone with a clear and unclouded view of the world it is beyond comprehension how the Neo-Dem's can keep getting everything so incredibly wrong.

(Oh, bother) It's an analogy (comparison) used to illustrate that if one (either the fish or the press) has only one frame of reference then it is impossible for them to give an objective assessment or evaluation of a specific state or condition. In the case of the fish, since it has no concept of what dry is it cannot logically comprehend the term wet, or how that term related to its condition or very existence. In the case of the media, since their overall slant and direction is hard leftist, it is impossible for them to give any sort of logical rational treatment to anything that doesn't fit neatly inside that prism or template. Basically they believe and are in lockstep with what the Neo-Dem's are saying so, in their view, they are fair and objective. Those guys say it.... we believe it..... and there just can't be anyone who could possibly disagree unless they are evil, insane or otherwise deranged. The political bias of the media is so flagrant that it's a wonder they have any followers at all except for the Moveon.org left wing Stalinist types.
No.... the "Fairness Doctrine" is aimed squarely at you and me. It is directed at suppression of any and all speech that differs with the Neo-Dem party line as presented by them and advanced by the "mainstream" media. For example it means that, if enacted, we would never hear Hilary Clinton's passionate delivery on the floor of the Senate when she stated that, after looking at ALL the facts, she was absolutely convinced that Saddam (room temperature) Hussein had chemical and biological weapons and was working at acquiring nuclear weapons as well. That we had to use force to remove him from power and she fully supported President Bush! Since that position now contradicts her current position it would be buried. The "mainstream" Media would make sure that such contradictions, by the left, never saw the light of day again. But! Because we still have some freedom left it's still legal for the truth to be told!!! Those who do, however, are under constant attack by the left. Why does the left so fear the truth? Because their power depends wholly upon them being in absolute, iron fisted, control over everything that you get to see and hear. Their agenda..... their views..... their goals..... their version of reality and the truth is all that they will tolerate getting to the people. Let them have their way and we end up like Stalin's Russia or the current mainland China. Remember those video's of the people demonstrating for freedom? Remember the guy in front of the tank? Remember the little statue of Liberty? In Mainland China...... none of that happened. The party says so and their media reports it as such. THAT is what the left wants to do with the "Fairness Doctrine" here in America.
Hey! America!!! Wake up!! There is a fifth column within our borders and stalking the halls of government and the seats of power in all the states that wants to tear you down and replace you with their version of socialism/Stalinism. We either stop them now or everything we know and love about this great nation will be lost forever.
One final thought. When Al Gore was testifying on the floor of the House he said that he'd been trying to get out the message about global warming for 30 years. That makes it 1977. Now in 1975 Time magazine was running a cover piece about the coming ICE AGE!!! Yes.... evidence was coming in SO fast that scientists couldn't tabulate it fast enough. There was "consensus" that we HAD to do something NOW in order to reverse this alarming trend of global cooling or we'd all starve to death or end up as human Popsicles. Yet.... Al (D student in science) Gore knew even then that global warming was just around the corner in spite of all that consensus and scientific data pouring in. Gee..... isn't he the one who NOW says that if you disagree with him that you're some kind of earth hater who wants the planet to burn up? If he thought in 1977 that the earth was really warming up.... wasn't HE disagreeing with the science and consensus of that time? Double standard anyone?

VietNam...... take two!
It sure looks like the Neo-Dem's are actually correct, for a change. For months I've been hearing the Neo-Dem's telling us that the war on terror is nothing but "Bush's Vietnam" and there is NO way we can possibly win. I have to admit that the Neo-Dem's seem to be accurate on both counts.
Much like Nixon, President Bush inherited an armed conflict. While Eisenhower had sent advisers to Vietnam it was Kennedy who ramped things up and started sending combat troops. (A minor fact that brother Teddy always seems to forget) In the current situation Bush 43 had the war passed through President Clinton (largely untouched). Bush 41 had success at the start of the war but had a limited mandate which crippled the military and prevented us from taking Saddam out in the early nineties. What the Neo-Dem's always forget to mention is that the initial conflict ended in a cease-fire rather than any sort of genuine capitulation by Iraq. A cease-fire means exactly that. The warring parties agree to stop shooting at each other. THE WAR DOES NOT STOP AND IS NOT OVER!!! The "bad guys" kept shooting at our aircraft for the next dozen or so years while ignoring sanction after sanction by the United Nations. Bottom line, President Bush did not START the war. It was ongoing when he took office. He simply elected to resume military action after Iraq's own actions and stated intentions left no other viable option.
Also, much like Nixon, the mood of the congress and senate changed when Nixon was elected. Kennedy and Johnson had opposition but it was minor and mostly on college campi. Politically the Dem's of the day fell in line behind their presidents and didn't make waves. They wanted a successful outcome BUT they started thinking they were qualified to be Generals. They started trying to run the war from Washington. When Nixon took power the Dem's of the day turned rabid and suddenly opposed everything Nixon tried to accomplish. It would not look good for them if a Republican had success with the war when the two Democrats prior had not been able to gain victory. The arm-chair generals in the House and Senate kept imposing themselves on the conflict effectively tying the hands of the troops on the ground behind their backs. Before I left country it was bad enough that we were expected to hold position while under fire, radio back to HQ and get permission to return fire in defense of our own lives!! This is the same tact that they are trying to put in place in Iraq. Finally they defunded the war and we had no choice but to get out fast leaving hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment behind. The result of that myopic decision was over 250,000 Vietnamese murdered and over 2,000,000 Cambodians slaughtered. Some victory. Kennedy keeps asking "Did we learn nothing from Viet Naaaaam? My reply to him would be "No, you didn't!"
Why, after seeing what happen there due to their lack of spine and commitment, do they want so badly to repeat that failure? The lesson of Vietnam is crystal clear. Leave the fighting to the commander-in-chief and the generals on the ground. The House and Senate have NO business sticking their collective noses anywhere near the conflict unless they want to put on body armor and go at it shoulder to shoulder with the troops at the front. Just as in Vietnam the Neo-Dem's of today want to divide the nation down political lines because they think it serves their ends. They hobble the troops on the ground and undermine both them and their CIC. Their myopic view does not permit them to see past their own political goals into the future of the region.
Here is how failure in Iraq will play out for the region and America: Because the fledgling Iraqi government has not been given the time to ensure that it is stable and has the necessary military strength to protect itself, it will fall in short order under a combination of the terrorist activities and active military intervention from Iran. This places the worlds 2nd and 3rd largest oil reserves under the control of a lunatic bent upon starting WWIII to bring back the 12th Imam. Afghanistan, although it has almost nothing to offer, will become the next hot spot. The reason for this is simply to defeat the Americans and run them out. With about 1/3 of the worlds oil under the control of Iran and it's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, terrorist organizations around the world will now have an almost unlimited amount of money to fund their destructive activities. Iran will press forward with it's desire for nuclear weapons. The Sunni sect of Islam comes into power and the roughly 14,000,000 Shi'i are either slaughtered outright or dealt with piecemeal as Saddam did. Any hope these people might have held for living a free and peaceful life is over. Ahmadinejad either builds or buys the nuclear weapons he wants. Next news headline reads something like "Nuclear device detonates in Tel Aviv! Millions believed dead!" This will be followed by video of Muslim nations where people are "dancing in the streets" in disgusting joy as they "celebrate" the "victory" over the Jews. (Much as they celebrated at the attack on the World Trade Center) At this point the fuse of the bomb will just have been lit. Israel will not take this in stride. They will arm all warheads and take Tehran off the face of the earth along with it's 7.1 million people. This will, of course, "stun the civilized world" and the UN will want to have Israel dealt with for it's aggression. (never mind they were hit first) There will be a rift between members that will divide along ideological lines..... although if the Neo-Dems are in charge at the time there won't be that much difference between their goals and those of the Chinese or the Russians. That aside, the words of the old CCR tune, Run through the jungle, come to mind...... "two hundred million guns are loaded and Satan cries free game." Needless to say the result of following the Neo-Dem's tuck tail and run like hell strategy is nothing short of a global disaster. Unfortunately they are too short sighted to see any farther than their next political stick in President Bush's eye. Political power is ALL that they care about.
Here's to the next Vietnam!!! Neo-Dem's and their blind Stalinist followers are trying to relive the glory days when they were able to defeat America without firing a shot. They live for the defeat and humiliation of America. Their loyalty is to PARTY and not country.
Sometimes I wish there were the two America's that John Edwards talks about. I want one America (Amerika?) where the Neo-Dem's are in charge and all their brainless followers are with them in wonderful bliss. (Ignorance is bliss..... remember?) I want them to have taxes that are right through the roof.... just like they want. I want unions in charge of everything from education their children (Although I think they really ought not breed) to caring for their sick and elderly. (Provided those segments of society are permitted to live at all) I want them all to drive Neo-Dem approved ecologically safe vehicles. I want them all protected by government from cradle to grave. (Provided they are allowed to make it to the cradle) I want them all housed in their little government approved cookie cutter houses made out of 100% recycled whatever. I want them eating what big government says to eat, exercising when big government says to, separating their trash into neat little containers for recycling and making sure that they have the smallest possible carbon footprint. I want all of them to line up for government approved health care too! And all pay for government mandated health insurance. I want them all to be taxed more to cover the cost of caring for all the illegal immigrants who want to live there for free. Pure socialist joy and harmony.
In the other America I want all true Americans, conservatives and patriots. I want federal government limited to what the Constitution spells out. Protect our borders, maintain a strong national defense and regulate inter-state commerce. All power not specifically given to Federal government rests with the states. Education of our children is the responsibility of the local communities. We'll have independent school districts once again. Our America trusts in the power of the people to get things done. Rugged individualism has merit and value again. We do not need unions for anything in this America. They are a concept whose time has come and gone. We'll probably need a tax too but we'll opt for either a flat tax or a national sales tax. I actually prefer the latter. This America understands that conservation is necessary but we don't make it a religion and don't jam it down peoples throats. Simply be responsible about how you do things and take responsibility for what you do. If this America wants to drive little eco-friendly cars then that is what will win in the market place. If we want big honkin' SUV's then those will also win in the market place. Neither will be forced upon us and they might well park side by side in our parking lots and garages. We will drill for what we need where we find it and refine what we need on our own shores. But ours is also a country open to new ideas and new options so expect to see giant wind farms harvesting energy where practical. Not because government says so.... but because there is a market for that sort of thing and it makes sense. Our America has a respect for the rule of law again. We turn our values clock back to the 50's where you could leave your house unlocked and never worry about it. Where you could put that refrigerator out by the road with the sign on the door that says "Eggs.... 50 cents a dozen" and know that at the end of the day the number of eggs left and the money in the cigar box would balance. A time when if you saw several kids walking through town carrying guns you didn't give it a second thought because you knew that (A) they were responsible and (B) they were heading to the woods or river to do some "plinking" and have a bit of fun together. I remember walking right down main street with my 22 bolt action..... even taking it into the hardware store to buy ammo...... and NO ONE even looked twice at me for doing either. People in my America don't fear guns or the responsible ownership of them. We honor the flag and pay tribute to our veterans. The contrast between the two countries is striking. Anyone care to make a wager on which would be doing better after 10 years..... 100 years?? If you're a Neo-Dem.... put your money where your rhetoric is!

My reply to Senator Barbara Boxer
Senator Barbara Boxer (D, California) was among a panel that "grilled" (grandstanded in front of) Secretary of State Condolezza Rice. Her most repugnant question was "Who pays the price" for the decision to continue the war in Iraq. She didn't mean who ponies up the bucks either. It was a question intended to make herself and all the other war desenters look noble and concerned. Like they are all concerned about US Troops dying. Odd that I've never heard that question asked of anyone when a Democrat was Commander in Chief. Oh..... as a reminder to those of you who still are head over heals in love with our last Democrat President...... as of 2007 we STILL have over 1500 troops in Bosnia. Equally odd that I never hear the Democrats doing a BMW (Bitch, Moan & Whine) job about getting THEM out a quickly as possible. That aside I'd be more than happy to answer the question posed by Senator Boxer. This is the text of a letter I sent to her Senate office.
"Madam Senator,
In answer to your question to the Secretary of State I have this to offer by way of a reply for her; I'll pay the price.
I'm a medically retired combat veteran of the Viet Nam war. I volunteered for the Navy in 1967. I did not fear the draft because I love my country! Rather than go to college with the majority of my High School class I chose to serve my country.
I trained in San Diego California, at Coronado Island and Camp Pendleton and other places. I operated from DaNang north to the DMZ. Conditions for us constantly declined as the Congress and Senate got more involved in running (ruining) the war rather than leave combat operations to the military. "Rules of engagement" got so restrictive that we were actually expected to hold our position, while under fire, and radio back to HQ for PERMISSION to return fire in defense of our lives! Now you do the same thing to our troops in Iraq. Kindly lead from the front! If you can't, or are unwilling to do that, then do NOT presume to lead from the safety of the rear.
I left the Navy after four years. When I returned to my beloved country I was spat upon by the grateful citizens of your fine state. I see that most there still have no true appreciation of the freedoms they bask in or exactly how they came to be able to enjoy those freedoms. After a "break" of 16 months I enlisted in the Army and served world wide until my medical retirement.
Who pays the price, Senator Boxer? Patriots! People who truly LOVE this magnificent experiment in Democracy called America. People from all parts of this grand country. People of all race, color, creed, religion and economic strata. People who understand that freedom isn't free and that we must be on eternal guard to protect and defend our right to be free. People who all realize that in defense of that freedom we may be called upon to surrender our freedom and possibly our very lives. Yet, we never falter and we never loose faith in our country, our mission and our sacred duty.
If only our elected officials had the level of faith in us and our ability that we have in our country and our appointed leaders. We trust in our military leadership, right to the Commander in Chief, to do what they believe is right and in the best interest of the country. We do our best to accomplish our missions under conditions you cannot even conceive of. Sometimes in sweltering heat bitten by insects, skin irritated by sweat and salt in the uniform fabric. Other times we are soaked to the bone, freezing cold, hungry, dog tired and without sleep for several days. Yet, our faith in our leadership, our mission and our country never dims and we drive forward sure in our ability to overcome any challenge and defeat any enemy under any conditions.
Even knowing the level to which certain elected officials have gone to, and will sink to, to undermine the troops, their mission and their leadership in the Iraq war, I'd still put on the uniform, shoulder a weapon and head for the front in a heartbeat if I could. I have two son-in-laws. One served a tour in Iraq and the other just returned from his third! I have more pride in these two fine young men than you can understand. They both understand what is at stake every time they look at their children and my grandchildren. Like me they realize that freedom isn't free and that. from time to time, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots.
If not for people like me, the millions of proud patriots who came before us that those who will follow there would be no United States of America. Those who will not FIGHT for their freedom and their liberty will not have it for long. It doesn't matter if it's the playground bully who tries to take your lunch money or the despot on the other side of the world slaughtering his citizens, people of honor and good heart have to take a stand for the weak and oppressed who cannot, or will not, stand up for themselves.
The road that the weak of heart in the House and Senate want to drive us down is the same road of failure they achieved so proudly in Viet Nam. That grand plan lead to the murder of over 250,000 Vietnamese and over 2,000,000 Cambodians. Democrats are proud they got us out of Viet Nam but they take NO responsibility for the consequences of that politically myopic act. A recent CIA study concluded at our loss in Iraq would have far ranging negative consequences for the region and the world. Yet you seem to be blind to the facts and care more about a political victory over "Bush" (as he is so insolently referred to) than our military and their mission.
It would be refreshing to see AMERICANS who happen to be of different political ideology all working together for the good of the nation rather than polititicans striving for their own or their parties insignificant victories over each other. If we loose this war on terror as a nation politics won't matter a whit.

There's a new Mullah in town
There's a reason why I love the loony left so very much. They are an endless source of laughs. I think what is most funny is how, since before World War II, they still refuse to accept reality and see evil for what it truly is. It would be even more humorous if there weren't so damn many of them in power around the world. Liberals in power are ten times more dangerous than an equal number of Soviet reactor malfunctions. What they to have in common is that both will kill you slowly.
Here in America they have been gradually choking the life out of the people. It's strangulation by gradual elimination of rights and freedoms. (which is exactly what they accuse the right of doing) I've always maintained that if you truly want to know what the left is up to..... just pay attention of what they accuse others of doing.
They yell that the conservatives are intolerant!! Oh? Who is it that gave us politically correct speech? Who is it that is doing everything they can to totally eliminate God from the American dialogue? Which side cannot take ANY criticism at all of it's agenda or leadership? Which side demands perfection of others then excuses all it's own wrong doings as if nothing happened?
What is maddening right now is their shrill cry for defeat and withdrawal from Iraq. My ears are ringing from it! No... wait a minute.... My ears are ringing from small arms fire and field artillery and other explosions..... Never mind. You get them point.... but they don't and refuse to even try to understand. In their world THEY are ALWAYS right and you're just dumber than a mud fence if you can't grasp their brilliance. History, however, has proven time and time again that they are usually on the wrong side of the critical issues. (Chamberlain and that pesky war thing)
Islam is, as religions go, about on par with being Hindu, or Christian, or Jewish. In it's base precepts there is the teaching of right and wrong, good and evil and how to live an orderly structured life which is at peace with everyone and the world in general. Then there is radical Islam. These are the militant fanatics who insist that everyone believe as they do or they will die. These are the wonderful people who the left says we have to talk to and understand. We need to reason with them and just let them know that we mean them no harm. Gee! Is that all we have to do to have world peace? Who'd a thunk it? Seems as best as I remember Nick Bird and Daniel Pearl weren't bothering them. Going about their business then the next thing they know they are about to be TV stars. Yep.... kneeling..... hands tied behind their backs so they can't harm anyone..... blindfolded. Yep! Pretty damn harmless. Then the war hoops and some nut job with a dull knife is sawing their heads off.... followed by the traditional chants of God is good. God is, but they sure as hell aren't.
What would just tickle me pink would be to get a few of those sweet Mullah's, a couple of fire brand clerics, toss in three or four of your typical jhaidists. Then mix well with the likes of Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, and the rest of the evening news anchors just for fun. Shut the doors and shake well...... see what happens. I'm betting that all the make nice small talk would rapidly degrade to chants of "God is good". What do ya want to bet?
What they fail to understand is that people (and I use the term VERY lightly) like that simply cannot be reasoned with. One needs to have the capacity for reason to do that and those folks lost that years ago. (If they ever had it) What the left refuses to see, hear and understand is that Radical Islam wants us dead. Period. They hate us and everything we stand for. And in their twisted minds anything that they have to do in order to achieve that goal is okay. Yet in the equally twisted minds of the left, it's politically incorrect to even report on their growing acts of violence. It's not proper to target them for special attention at airports or anywhere else. I didn't see any little old ladies or red headed Irish guys among the folks to brought down the Twin Towers..... but those are the people that it's okay to pay special attention to for security. Give me a freaking break!
Here's the deal. If those of us in America want to continue to live any sort of happy and peaceful life then we'd better realize the threat these nut jobs pose and we'd better do it fast. (in this instance I refer to Radical Islam and not the loony left who, while dangerous, aren't out to behead us for our sins.) Radical Islam wants nothing less than the elimination of America from the world map. They also wish to take out England, Israel and any other country they see as "evil". (You can read that to mean successful and non-Muslim) Take a good look at your neighborhood then see the conditions where these folks are in charge. Care to trade? I thought not.
If you buckle and convert to Islam you may keep your head.... but they could change their minds at any time. You'll need to participate in five prayer sessions each day too. Ladies. You fashion decisions just got a whole lot easier. Forget Macy's, Sears and Dillards. They will all be destroyed as symbols of evil. Instead you can choose basic black for all occasions and get them at your local "burka's are us" store. Your children will get a wake up call too. Disobedience to authority is not looked upon with a great deal of joy by these folks. Your lovely wonderful child can be taken from you by force, put in prison and beaten from the bottoms of their feet to the back of their necks. If a boy and girl are caught alone together while not married..... both can be hung for "crimes against chastity." This is true even if they were both fully dressed and only talking. You want intolerant? You've got it. Business owners. They have roving bands of enforcers who make sure you are in compliance with Islamic law. Any violations they find and, at a minimum, they will beat the crap out of you right on the spot. Anything and everything you knew about comfort and "lifestyle" you can kiss goodbye. In this regard they do work like the loony left..... taking everyone down to the lowest common denominator. They remind us that Islam is the fastest growing religion on earth. What they don't tell you is that you either convert or they kill you. Some choice.
Somalia? You remember.... that nice country where they cheered as the bodies of our brave Army Rangers were drug through the dirty streets. In a northern province the hard line cleric reminded the people of a village that Islam demanded five prayer sessions a day. "Failure to pray five times a day as commanded will result in being beheaded." Man. Talk about intolerant.
So America. It's time to figure out what kind of world you want to live in. Sure the war in Iraq is unpopular. Hell... with the old school media running nothing but bad news and hate pieces since it started I'd be amazed if there were any other outcome. Be that as it may, it is a war against the Islamofascists who wish to dominate the globe by any means necessary. While the press has done their best to keep it hidden, these animals do the most unspeakable things to those who oppose them. The beheadings, the mutalated bodies hung from a bridge and burned, bombings of innocent civilians simply living their lives in peace. We either nut up and eliminate this threat from the face of the earth or we decide to live in fear forever. They will not relent and they will never simply let us alone because we mean them no harm. What part of dead does the left fail to understand?

Democrats start wrecking the country
The destruction of the country is officially under way and, of course, the Democrats are in the lead and overjoyed. It all seems innocent enough, a hike in the federal minimum wage, but it serves to prove the colossal lack of understanding of how a complex economy functions. Since all of these Democrat "hero's" have more money than they know what to do with it affects them not. No matter how screwed up things get for us, they will blissfully sail on completely unaware of all the havoc in their wake.
Okay..... So what's the big mistake with raising the minimum wage. After all... We all need a "living wage" right? Wrong! The minimum wage is expressly designed to give the entry level worker a base platform from which to progress. As skills, education and length of employment increase so does the wage the employee earns. For the most part it is intended for first time job holders which, typically, are still in school and still living with mom and dad. To assume that everyone working for the minimum wage is supporting a family, paying rent, buying groceries and all that stuff is far from the mark. Granted there are some in that category as there always will be, however, most of those are here in violation of federal law.
What we have now is a government mandated (thank you Democrats) unbalancing of the economic scales. Economies tend to come into natural balance when left alone to work as intended. Ours was in balance and working fine. But now we have this unnecessary tipping of the scales. On the surface it sounds just fine but ponds are deeper than the surface. Who has to PAY this higher minimum wage? It's damn sure NOT the people who say it has to be paid! Nope it's the average small business owner. (Large corporations rarely have anyone working at the minimum wage) So the first effect is to increase the operating costs the small business owner must bear to stay in business. Secondly that business owner also has to pay greater taxes on this higher salary so it's also a stealth tax hike. More money off the bottom line means less tangible income so the cost of goods and services must increase for him to break even. It's either that or cut staff. But let's just assume that he passes along the higher mandated wage in the form of a price increase. That takes more money out of the pockets of the typical consumer and means, once again, higher taxes. (We DO pay taxes on the things we buy, remember?) The other thing it does is give "BIG LABOR" (the unions) a higher base wage upon which to argue for their members. Thus the union wage goes up and that pass through effect kicks in again to elevate the cost of all union produced goods and services. (Oh... and more taxes paid too) So now let's see what has happened.
Tammy was making minimum wage working for Ed and saving money to buy her first car while living at home with mom and dad. The loving Democrats raise the minimum wage and Tammy is pleased to see this! When she gets her first new check she also sees that more money has been withheld for taxes so the increase isn't quite as much as she thought it would be. Blow number one. Still she continues to save for that new car she dreams about nightly. A year later she thinks she has enough for a down payment and will be making enough for the monthly payments so she and her parents head for the dealership. Tammy has been wanting a sane little economy car and had priced it out last year but is now shocked to see that the car now costs $2500 more than it did a year ago! What she thought was enough for the down payment isn't and they leave dejected. Blow number two. Perhaps the Democrats will be kind and raise the minimum wage again! Only this time perhaps Ed runs the numbers and decides he can't stay in business with all the increased costs so he sells out and retires, leaving Tammy unemployed. See how much the Democrats have helped her? Isn't it great?
The economy does not operate in a vacuum. Tweak something somewhere and it affects the entire system. One can mandate a higher wage but someone has to pay that wage and it's not the law makers. One can freeze a price on a finished good but that doesn't freeze the costs of materials or production. All these things tend to float along until they reach a balance that best serves the most people. Notice I did not say ALL people because that is impossible. It is up to the individual to increase their education and elevate their worth to an employer in order to progress up the wage scale. THAT is the natural order of things, NOT government mandated increases. All this amounts to is pandering to a minority whom the democrats hope to sway into voting for them. It's shrouded in the usual smoke and mirrors and supported by the compliant and bias liberal media. No one is being told the true economic impact of this increase and they never will be. To do that would be to educate and open the eyes of the population and that would make this sort of grandstanding impossible in the future. The Democrats fear an informed and educated electorate. That's why they control public "education".

I'm not surprised
Your search - "How do Republicans get their power back?" - did not match any documents.
This search was done nearly a week after the election that vaulted democrats back into the majority in Washington. As you may recall, after the democrat defeats in the two previous election cycles the media fretted for months.... "What do the Democrats have to do to get their power back?" There wasn't a single night that passed without someone in the media posing that question to other pundants or ranking liberals across the country.
Obviously the mainstream media isn't biased in their reporting. Heck... they have told us that they're not for years now..... and naturally we all believe them. (Yeah, right!) So far all I've heard is how wonderful it is that the democrats are the majority again. Everything will now be rosy and bright.... everyone will love us... kum-by-ya. But they have already warned us that they will be "forced" to take tough action to reverse the dangerous trends of the Bush administration.
Those "Dangerous trends" include the highest stock market in the history of the nation. Over 12,000 and doing fine.... so far. Another "dangerous trend" is the lowest unemployment in the history of the nation.... 4.3%. That's a full point lower than at any time under Clinton. At 5.4% unemployment Clinton was lauded for his efforts and praised for his concern. President Bush has a larger number of potiential workers and a full percentage point better unemployment statistic figure and the press calls his results "A national embarassment." (Obviously an objective and UNbiased opinion) Another dangerous trend is the increasing revenue to the federal government because of the Bush Tax cuts. Yes it's true. Cut peoples taxes and the revenue to the government actually goes up, folks. It's a very mysterious truism that the democrats will never admit to understanding too.
See.... there are two ways to get money into Washington. The Liberal way is to simply tax the hell out of everyone and everything. When Clinton was in office I'm sure you "Seasoned citizens" were thrilled when he increased your taxes right along with everyone else. The conservative way is to lower taxes and let the economy do the rest. When people have more money to spend they often do! When money is spent, taxes are paid and goods or services are purchased. That means an increase in demand. Increased demand means an increase in production to meet that demand or an increase in price. If production goes up then more supplies are ordered and perhaps more workers are employeed. At each step there is a reduced tax to be paid BUT it's being paid more often and by more people. Ditto if only the price of a good or service goes up. The result is obvious. Taxes were cut, the economy stimulated, production increased, employment increased, investments increased and tax paid into the federal government increased. This is the 800 pound gorilla that the democrats refuse to see in the room with them. Tax cuts work every time they are tried.
The other dangerous trend that they will reverse is our success in Iraq. Already we are starting to get "polls" out of Afganistan telling us that only a week after the democrat victory.... why.... things are suddenly much better there! The People now have hope and faith in their elected government. Actually this is the very same hope and joy over the improvements in their lives that they have had since we ran the Taliban out of Dodge..... or Kabul...... but because the liberals now have a clear stake in things... the news gets better! No more doom and gloom. (Again..... clearly UNbiased reporting going on here) Iraq, however, will be different. That is a sticking point for the democrats and they will not be happy until every American life that has been lost there is validated as an official waste. You will not suddenly see stories about how the infrastructure of the country has been rebuilt. (It has but you'll never get that story) You'll not see happy children going to a new school built by US forces and using supplies given to them by those same troops. (This happens every day but you'll never see that story either) At last count over 480 schools have been built by our troops and our valliant media has somehow not been able to locate even one. But let ONE car bomb go off anywhere.... and by God (Wait... they hate Him too) well.... by some magic they will find that flaming hulk and plaster it all over the news that night.
Germany (Yeah.... the nice folks who gave us a couple of World Wars to deal with) wants to put Donald Rumsfeld on trial for war crimes! Well if anyone ought to know a war crime when they see it, it's the Germans. Speaking of when they see it..... I wonder if they ever got to watch those delightful videos of captives having their heads sawed off with dull knives while on their knees with their hands tied behind their backs and outnumbered six to one? I guess there is nothing criminal about treating captives that way, huh? How about the video of people being drug through the streets, tied with chains, tossed off a bridge, soaked with gasoline and set on fire? Yeah..... on second though... no possible crime against humanity there. But the evil Rumsfeld...... the guy trying to bring acts like those to an end...... HE needs to be put on trial. More proof that the liberal left is and always has lived in an alternate reality.
America..... get ready for a feeding frenzy. While the vast majority of democrats that won office did so by running on a conservative agenda the leadership only sees it as a democrat victory. They think that they have a mandate now and they are going to go on a rampage, drunk with power. Under the guise of "oversight" they are going to tie the hands of the President with endless hearings and subpenas. Next, with the help of the media, they will set about destroying everyone who does not get into lockstep with them and their agenda. Remember when the Republicans took control and the democrats said..... "You have to share power with us"? Like fools we actually made that deal and gave them equal footing on committies and panels. DO NOT expect to see any such power sharing now. Republicans care about how they are preceived...... democrats only care about their power and, like spoiled children, they are not about to share anything. From here on out.... it just plain gets ugly, folks.
Now... the good news! After watching them do their best to rip this country to shreads and destroy everything we stand for.... there will be another election. Prehaps by then the Republicans will have learned that THEY lost this time around, NOT conservatism. Perhaps by then the Republicans will have found a leader with the voice and character to hold the party together in a unified front like Reagan did so very well. Right now the brightest light I see on the horizon is Newt Gingrich. I am free (so far) to hope.

I wonder if they ever got to watch those delightful videos of captives having their heads sawed off with dull knives while on their knees with their hands tied behind their backs and outnumbered six to one? I guess there is nothing criminal about treating captives that way, huh? How about the video of people being drug through the streets, tied with chains, tossed off a bridge, soaked with gasoline and set on fire? Yeah..... on second though... no possible crime against humanity there. But the evil Rumsfeld...... the guy trying to bring acts like those to an end...... HE needs to be put on trial. More proof that the liberal left is and always has lived in an alternate reality.
America..... get ready for a feeding frenzy. While the vast majority of democrats that won office did so by running on a conservative agenda the leadership only sees it as a democrat victory. They think that they have a mandate now and they are going to go on a rampage, drunk with power. Under the guise of "oversight" they are going to tie the hands of the President with endless hearings and subpenas. Next, with the help of the media, they will set about destroying everyone who does not get into lockstep with them and their agenda. Remember when the Republicans took control and the democrats said..... "You have to share power with us"? Like fools we actually made that deal and gave them equal footing on committies and panels. DO NOT expect to see any such power sharing now. Republicans care about how they are preceived...... democrats only care about their power and, like spoiled children, they are not about to share anything. From here on out.... it just plain gets ugly, folks.
Now... the good news! After watching them do their best to rip this country to shreads and destroy everything we stand for.... there will be another election. Prehaps by then the Republicans will have learned that THEY lost this time around, NOT conservatism. Perhaps by then the Republicans will have found a leader with the voice and character to hold the party together in a unified front like Reagan did so very well. Right now the brightest light I see on the horizon is Newt Gingrich. I am free (so far) to hope.

Liberals and Media live in an alternate universe
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a while. I switched professions and drive one of those big rigs now. Mama says I drive a big rig at home too.... but that's for a different blog. Anyway..... not a whole lot of time to write lately, due to the new job, but I'll post when I can.
This election cycle is both hysterically funny and a frontal assault on basic common sense. It's funny to watch the liberals running around as if they have already won. Miss Pelosi, next speaker of the house, is already measuring her new digs for drapes. Charlie Rangle has already stated that all the "Bush tax cuts for the rich" will be cancelled immediately after the Democrat victory. Damn! There's a great reason to vote Democrat! More money out of your pocket so Washington can piss it off any way they want to. Makes me want to vote them in!
Let's recall the last "savior" to be elected..... Bill Clinton. Mr. ,stick your finger in the air (and other places) to see which way the wind is blowing today, gave us the biggest tax increases in the history of the nation. No one was safe. Clinton even raised taxes on the retired community by increasing the tax on their social security checks. If you made a penny Clinton made damn sure that big government got their share..... fair or not. And when they had taxed us so much that they couldn't spend it fast enough a "surplus" developed. Clinton had the audacity to go on television and state "We could give you your money back....... but we can't be sure you'd spend it right." WHAT??? That's the democrat way of thinking. YOU are too damn stupid to even know on what to spend the money you bust your ass to earn. Only they know what is best for you and your money. Actually.... only your money.... they could care less about you. Now they want us to put them back in power in Washington. God help us.
While driving the other day I saw a sign along the side of the road that said: "Had enough? Vote Democrat!" So I ask myself, enough what? Had enough of the highest stock market in the history of the nation? Had enough of the lowest unemployment in the history of the nation? (Yes Libs.... a full percentage point lower than any time under Bill Clinton) Statistically speaking it's full employment. Had enough of lower taxes, more take home pay? Had enough booming economy? Had enough low interest rates? Had enough of freedom of terrorist attacks on our own shores? If so.... by all means put Democrats in power and all those things will go away quickly.
The media is playing their roll as the second wing of the Democrat party too. And please.... if you honestly still think that the media isn't hugely bias towards liberal democrats you haven't been paying attention for the last 50 years. They have been carrying the water for the democrat party for ages. The only thing that has changed in the past 12 or so years is that they no longer hold a monopoly on what information and "news" reaches the citizens of these United States. That aggravates them more than they can stand. The FOX network...... far from right wing but more balanced than the old media giants..... is referred to as the "F-word network" by the others. They hate FOX for daring to broadcast both sides of the issues and present to the public anything other than the singular media opinion they share. Some night try switching channels on your TV. ABC..... CBS....... NBC...... CNN....... try them all and see if you can tell the difference. Often when I do this they are so coordinated that the same story is running at the same time and with the exact same wording and slant. It's amazing! What gets to me the most is watching those programs and listening to all the lies. They are masters at just plain making stuff up if it will serve to advance their agenda. In the old days they got away with that. Now days there is an alternative out there and they can't get away with it cleanly any more.
Everything I see and hear on the usual media is slanted against the conservatives. Republicans are going to loose here and there...... Conservative ideas are rejected by a majority of people polled...... (I'll get to polls later) Republicans are going to stay home this election because they are tired of how the country is being run. They keep doing all they can to force Democrats down our throats but all that does is make me puke them right back up. When was the last time you saw or heard anything on the big media giants negative towards the democrats? How about even slightly negative? Nope! When democrats screw up that gets ignored. What the democrats stand for isn't mentioned at all. They break out the smoke and mirrors and misdirect or blame republicans for their failings. Democrats fail and somehow Republicans are always to blame. It's never that the Democrats have bad ideas or that they are consistently rejected by the majority of rational thinking Americans. It's always a dirty Republican "vast right wing conspiracy" plot and the democrats never got a fair deal. No.... they got a fair deal that they got rejected. Their problem is that they refuse to admit that their ideas are not selling. It's YOU that are too damn stupid to realize just how brilliant and superior they truly are! In reality you are too damn smart to buy their line of BS any more.
And those polls. I am sick to death of freaking polls. If you have ever participated in a poll you know that the questions are designed and worded in such a way as to get the answer that the people paying for the poll desire. For example..... I'm paying for a poll and what I want is an end to trout fishing. So, for example, a question might ask.... "Do you favor an end to Trout fishing or would you rather see all Trout vanish from our streams and lakes?" That's how polls work so it's no wonder that the media is in absolute love with polls. They choose a position that they support then contrive a poll worded in such a way as to bring back the desired result. THEN the result of the poll becomes the news of the day! How many times have you heard the evening news start out something like this?: "ABC poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans don't like how Bush is running the country." They hate Bush and they want the rest of the country to think that everyone hates Bush..... so they create a poll designed to return that sort of result. Certainly if you ask enough democrats you'll get that result.... they live to hate. Polls are not the news but the media makes it the news because they have little else to do considering how well things in the country are going. The LAST thing you are going to hear or see on main stream media is a story on how well things really are going in this country and in Iraq. That doesn't fit the media template which is "America sucks and we shouldn't be in Iraq."
I've rambled quite a bit here but there is a point (or several) buried in here too..... you just have to look for them. That might require actual thought so, naturaly, I don't expect any lib reader to get it. The rest of you...... you are the hope for this country so you damn sure better be able to figure it out.

Terrorist assumes room temperature, Liberals cry.
Another terrorist, one personally responsible for beheading at least two American's that we know of, has the distinct honor of reaching room temperature. Yes, Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, terror master of Baghdad and beheader of American's was killed along with several of his "aides" on June 8th 2006.
As one might suspect the reaction to this animal finally getting the end he so richly deserved swings the arc from rational to completely unhinged. Iraqi National Defense Forces and common Iraqi citizens celebrated in the streets. A major thorn in their side had been removed. Patriotic Americans everywhere were pleased. Others had a much different reaction to this victory over terror.
Now I deliberately said "Patriotic" Americans because that's exactly what I meant! Frankly if you do not support this country, it's troops, their missions and their leadership right up to the President then you are not a patriotic American. I don't give a rats ass about your whining spineless reasons for hating all things patriotic and this country. Myself and millions of other brave citizens fought to give you the right to have your idiotic, communist, left wing socialist beliefs and thoughts. We did not, however, give you the right to highjack our country and try to make it some sort of socialist paradise. (not that one ever did or ever will exist) My personal point of view is right up front and in your face. If you honestly don't like this country and can't support it or it's elected leadership...... kindly do all of us a huge favor and beat feet to the nearest communist paradise of your choice. If I was in charge I'd even provide you with moving expenses to make your transition quick and easy. Of course I'd also revoke your citizenship and declare you persona-non-grata. My country is better for your departure and you get to finally find out first hand just how wonderful living in a true communist-socialist country genuinely is! I'd recommend North Korea for you hardcore lefties. But you can also select from China (although capitalism is spreading there so be careful) Iran, Venezuela and the people's paradise, Cuba.
Left wing blogs are full of moon bats who are full of conspiracy theory. Basically they are all just plain full of it. (Ever notice how when things don't go the way the left wing whacko's want it's GOT to be some sort of conspiracy and a huge plot against them?) (OH! I almost forgot.... Bush is Hitler and the greatest terrorist on earth!) I also love how so many of them assume very patriotic sounding names. "People for the American Way" is a good one. "Take Back America" is another. They haven't even got the moral honesty to use naming conventions that demonstrate their true nature and beliefs. My Blog? Hey.... I'm telling you loco weeds to pull your heads out of your collective asses and MOVE ON! Grow up already! Quit your damn crying and bitching and at least TRY to act like rational thinking adults. (Yeah... I know.... damn tough for folks with absolutely no experience at it to pull off)
Anyway.... the usual suspects on the left are less than pleased that another kingpin of terror has gotten exactly what he deserved. (Even if it was far to quick and painless for me) Harry Reid actually seemed saddened at the loss of another "human being." Yeah.... he actually called Zarqawi a human being! Sorry.... anyone that will take a dull knife and slowly saw the head off someone who has his hands tied behind his back gave up the claim to membership in the human race. For you lefties..... go watch the video of Nick Bird being treated to the kindness and human compassion of Zarqawi.... okay? Watch it until you figure out that we are at war with a group that has high-jacked a great religion and subverted it for their own purposes and will not stop until everyone on the planet is either a member of Islam or dead. They have no middle ground. Frankly I'm sick and tried of you assholes making excuses for them and always trying to find a way to blame America first. To repeat what is up above.... if you hate this great country so damn much PLEASE get the hell out of here and go somewhere that you'll be happy. I'd also encourage you NOT to attempt to turn America into your commie playground.... that's not going to happen..... ever. Since most of you never had the balls to serve your country the oath states that we'll defend this country against ALL enemies both foreign AND domestic. It would be real healthy for you not to overlook that last part.... okay? There are a hell of a lot of us out here (millions) that are no longer in uniform..... but we still take that oath to heart and will continue to defend this nation until our death. Call us the old "America - Love it or LEAVE it!" bunch. To us you liberal nut jobs are basically like having a rock in your shoe. Damn sure isn't going to upset us one little bit if you're not there anymore since you are not doing anything to make the journey more enjoyable anyway.
Back to the topic..... a terrorist bites the dust and the left is less than pleased. The moon bats are even saying that he looks like he's been thawed out..... as if we'd bagged his ass long ago and now was just the best time, politically, to let that be known. The nation would certainly be far better off without this bunch. They are not sane enough to form a rational thought.... and the scary part is that we let them vote. Nick Bird's own father was on a rip today claiming that we'd be far better off if Zarqawi was still alive and Saddam was back in power!!! (Oh yeah.... Bush is Hitler and has killed more people than Saddam ever did!) I'd be willing to bet that if he spouted that crap in front of a bunch of Iraqi citizens..... it would not be long before he was either ranting to himself like the lunatic he is..... or someone would jack-slap his ass into next week for being so damn stupid. YO! Mr. Bird..... Cuba is SOUTH..... Venezuela is SOUTH..... don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way to paradise.... okay? Your SON had his head sawed off by this nut job and you STILL hate America more than Zarqawi. You are a mentally deranged individual and ought to be in a padded cell rather than on nationwide television.
But the Liberal press needs nut jobs like you to further their own hate America agenda. They actually had the raw stupidity to ask the press secretary how we found Zarqawi, where we got the information. Why not ask... "Can you please give us detailed information on how to construct a thermonuclear device and also kindly provide relevant technical drawings and equipment sources?" Attention MEDIA! Some things are SECRET for a reason! (not that any of you give a damn as you've proven time and time again) Another dingbat actually wanted to know if we'd paid out the 25M reward and if so who got the money. My God.... how damn ignorant can this bunch be? Hello!!! "For the record can you please tell the rest of the terrorists, who aren't unlucky enough to be dead, who it was that ratted out Zarqawi so they can track him down and cut his head off too?" I'm sorry but I'm highly allergic to stupid and these people are giving me a rash.
I guess my biggest problem is that I actually LOVE this country. I grew up at a time and in a place where that was the normal way things were. I grew up in an America where folks looked out for each other because that was just the neighborly thing to do. We'd go on vacation for a week and not even bother to lock the house. Heck.... if we did that how would the neighbors be able to get in to put the mail on the kitchen table or leave something to eat there on the day we got back so Mom wouldn't have to cook? Farmers had refrigerators under trees by the side of the road with a sign on the door..... "Eggs 10 cents a dozen" Open the door and it's full of eggs and there is a cigar box where you put your money..... and it never came up short. We celebrated the 4th of July with parades and fire works. We bought them and fired them off in our very own yards! Yep.... every year some kid would do something stupid and tear up some fingers.... and every year there would be at least one little grass fire. The first we called a learning experience.... and you can bet they did. The second we called being prepared... and we all had garden hoses out just in case. Personal responsibility. Nanny state not required. Veterans were revered and honored. Old people and women respected. Serving the country by being in the armed forces was both an honor and a high privilege. It was a time I fondly remember.
Then liberalism and the radical left started making thing better. How? Demonstrations and riots. Deliberate destruction of public and private property, assaults on individuals they disagree with, spitting on troops returning from a tough tour in Vietnam, calling us hateful names. Nearly 40 years later and their tactics are still the same. IF anyone holds a position you don't agree with then you call them names and do everything you can to destroy them and their character. (witness the Clinton administration then and all Democrats today) Invent derisive terms for them to demonstrate your utter contempt for them and to show how very superior you are in your position. IF someone does something you actually like then be sure to point out how that person (or group) has "matured" and become more "enlightened". Never offer a clear cut position on anything because that is too difficult to defend. Rather.... simply criticize the other sides position endlessly. If you don't have any facts upon which to base a point of view simply invent them out of whole cloth. In your world it's not your responsibility to prove that your "facts" are correct.... it's the other sides responsibility to prove that they are not. Even in the face of that proof...... persist in your lie and never admit that you live in a house of cards. Remember your founders words..... "Tell a lie and tell it often enough..... and it becomes the truth."
And that is precisely the problem with the Liberals today. They actually do believe all the lies they've been telling for years and years. That's one of the reasons why liberalism is the most gutless choice one can make. It requires no thought, no examination of facts or search for the truth. It's a "feel good" ideology that cannot stand up to close scrutiny and hates anything that stands to interfere with that feel good mentality. Little things like religion..... values..... morals..... right and wrong..... good and evil. Those things cannot stand in the world of the Liberal. Liberals can not tolerate the cut and dry world of plain old right and wrong. Look at the way they make excuses for people who commit crimes. Look at Senator William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana. Caught red handed with over $90,000 of FBI bribe money in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator in his office..... and the media is doing nothing but making excuses to justify criminal behavior. NOT ONE major network asking why he took a bribe investigating his criminal behavior. Oh no..... can't have that. It's okay.... because... why.... he was poor as a child. Big fucking deal! I wasn't rolling in dough and you can bet your sweet ass my ears would still be ringing from the sound of the cell door slamming shut if I did what he did. That's another trait of the Liberals. The law simply doesn't apply to them.... they are above it.... or at least think they are. Just like governing this country is their birthright.... not a privilege that must be earned at the ballot box. Just look at all the excuses they make when they loose because their whacko ideas are rejected by the American people. They never loose.... elections are simply stolen from them. Yeah.... right. And the moon is made of green cheese and only human productivity can cause the climate to become more warm..... rather than perhaps something much simpler... like the sun. Keep believing all your lies, Liberals.... if that's what makes you happy.
As one might suspect the reaction to this animal finally getting the end he so richly deserved swings the arc from rational to completely unhinged. Iraqi National Defense Forces and common Iraqi citizens celebrated in the streets. A major thorn in their side had been removed. Patriotic Americans everywhere were pleased.

Heck.... if we did that how would the neighbors be able to get in to put the mail on the kitchen table or leave something to eat there on the day we got back so Mom wouldn't have to cook? Farmers had refrigerators under trees by the side of the road with a sign on the door..... "Eggs 10 cents a dozen" Open the door and it's full of eggs and there is a cigar box where you put your money..... and it never came up short. We celebrated the 4th of July with parades and fire works. We bought them and fired them off in our very own yards! Yep.... every year some kid would do something stupid and tear up some fingers.... and every year there would be at least one little grass fire. The first we called a learning experience.... and you can bet they did. The second we called being prepared... and we all had garden hoses out just in case. Personal responsibility. Nanny state not required. Veterans were revered and honored. Old people and women respected. Serving the country by being in the armed forces was both an honor and a high privilege. It was a time I fondly remember.
Then liberalism and the radical left started making thing better. How? Demonstrations and riots. Deliberate destruction of public and private property, assaults on individuals they disagree with, spitting on troops returning from a tough tour in Vietnam, calling us hateful names. Nearly 40 years later and their tactics are still the same. IF anyone holds a position you don't agree with then you call them names and do everything you can to destroy them and their character. (witness the Clinton administration then and all Democrats today) Invent derisive terms for them to demonstrate your utter contempt for them and to show how very superior you are in your position. IF someone does something you actually like then be sure to point out how that person (or group) has "matured" and become more "enlightened". Never offer a clear cut position on anything because that is too difficult to defend. Rather.... simply criticize the other sides position endlessly. If you don't have any facts upon which to base a point of view simply invent them out of whole cloth. In your world it's not your responsibility to prove that your "facts" are correct.... it's the other sides responsibility to prove that they are not. Even in the face of that proof...... persist in your lie and never admit that you live in a house of cards. Remember your founders words..... "Tell a lie and tell it often enough..... and it becomes the truth."
And that is precisely the problem with the Liberals today. They actually do believe all the lies they've been telling for years and years. That's one of the reasons why liberalism is the most gutless choice one can make. It requires no thought, no examination of facts or search for the truth. It's a "feel good" ideology that cannot stand up to close scrutiny and hates anything that stands to interfere with that feel good mentality. Little things like religion..... values..... morals..... right and wrong..... good and evil. Those things cannot stand in the world of the Liberal. Liberals can not tolerate the cut and dry world of plain old right and wrong. Look at the way they make excuses for people who commit crimes. Look at Senator William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana. Caught red handed with over $90,000 of FBI bribe money in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator in his office..... and the media is doing nothing but making excuses to justify criminal behavior. NOT ONE major network asking why he took a bribe investigating his criminal behavior. Oh no..... can't have that. It's okay.... because... why.... he was poor as a child. Big fucking deal! I wasn't rolling in dough and you can bet your sweet ass my ears would still be ringing from the sound of the cell door slamming shut if I did what he did. That's another trait of the Liberals. The law simply doesn't apply to them.... they are above it.... or at least think they are. Just like governing this country is their birthright.... not a privilege that must be earned at the ballot box. Just look at all the excuses they make when they loose because their whacko ideas are rejected by the American people. They never loose.... elections are simply stolen from them. Yeah.... right. And the moon is made of green cheese and only human productivity can cause the climate to become more warm..... rather than perhaps something much simpler... like the sun. Keep believing all your lies, Liberals.... if that's what makes you happy.

Hey Republicans! It's wake up time!
Today I move the crosshairs away from the old world media (although they are always an easy target) and center them squarely on the Republican Party. Lately I'm not even sure "party" is the correct term for them. They are not quite as bad as the Democrats with their loosely strung together collection of special interest groups..... but they are seemingly drifting in that general direction. Perhaps just plain drifting is the optimum word for the Republicans. Lacking is the Reagan policy of leadership from the top..... or in today's case.... from any discernible direction. It's become a collection of elected people who happen to share the same political affiliation but lack a collective will or defined agenda. They seem to rarely act as a group on anything.
Another major problem for the party is their "nice guy" attitude. I personally try to be a very nice guy all the time but, there are always instances when one just has to open up the XXL size can of whoop-ass and not bat an eye lash while doing it. If you as a person..... or a member of a group... or as a nation are afraid to open that can and whip some ass when necessary..... then eventually you will be totally defeated and cease to exist. Today's "nice guy" is tomorrow victim and that's all there is to it. Granted, in a perfect world, kicking the occasional butt would never be required. People of good, sound, reasoning minds would reach mutual agreement through civil discourse and all would be rosy. However, for those of you who have not been paying attention lately, there is a serious lack of good, sound reasoning minds in the world. There always HAS been!
The head shrinkers tell us of "A" and "B" personality types. In lay terms that simply means some folks are more tightly wound and more aggressive than others. They take more risks, live life in the fast lane, and actively seek power. Others take a more relaxed approach to life. They smile as they let the jerk, who has been ignoring the "lane closed ahead" signs for the past half mile, cut in front of them in traffic. If someone is rude to them they somehow feel that they must have deserved it. Their entire life is nothing but one compromise after another. I'd rename those to personality type to type "S" and type "NS" to simplify things. Spine and No Spine.
For clarification...... having a spine does NOT mean that you are not and cannot be a nice person 99.9% of the time. Likewise being mostly spineless doesn't point to you not being basically happy with your life..... although the odds are against it. Type "A" people are far less likely to be victims than type "B" folks. They understand that POWER is a tool that can be wielded for good OR evil and if evil is thrust upon them they are not afraid to use power, or force, to protect themselves, their families, their ideals, their nation. The other side goes the Nevil Chamberlain route.
Today's republicans have the political power of numbers but are afraid to wield that power in any meaningful way. They seem to lack a unified vision of the future and appear to be wandering aimlessly in the wasteland that is Washington D.C. (lovingly know to the rest of America and the Logic Free Zone) They worry about what the press will write about them or say about them on TV at night. They fret about making the "A" list at certain parties and functions. They worry about what the opposition party will think about them or say about them to the media. Please note..... NONE of those things has ANYTHING to do with serving the people who sent them to represent us! For the record.... It's We.... The People.... Not You, the elected.
Here is what we see from our vantage point. We see our elected Republican leaders letting the minority party run over them day after day. We see our leaders constantly trying to compromise or placate the minority party every time they whine or moan over anything. I remember the era of the Democrat majority and they RAN Washington their way and the minority (us) be damned! We see our leadership hiding in the shadows while the minority party clamors to the microphones and tells lie after lie (to use Ted Kennedy's words) about us, our country and our armed forces. We see the press amplify these lies for days and weeks on end with little or no response from our side even though we have the truth and the facts to back us up! We see no real political agenda being presented, no grand vision for America, and no recognition for the day to day exceptionalism that makes this the greatest nation on earth. We watch (reluctantly) the daily news and all we see and hear is the drumbeat of negativism and derision from the Liberal left and their cronies in the old world media. We hear our President called names, threatened with "a bullet between the eyes" or other radical Liberal extremist rhetoric in an endless stream. This should NOT be the case day in and day out.
Granted the old world media is against you and flagrantly liberal in it's delivery. There is the FOX network and they do strive to paint a more balanced image. They seem to be successful in that regard because the rest of the media refer to them openly as "The F-word Network". When they start talking bad about you... you must be having an impact. The old world media is most dangerous just before it dies, just like a wounded and cornered beast. It knows it has nothing to loose and everything to gain if successful..... so it lashes out wildly at anything and everything in the hope of landing a mortal blow against it's enemy. In this care the enemy is George W. Bush and the Republican Party. Any savvy hunter will tell you that you do not let down your guard or show pity when you have game wounded and cornered. You fire the mercy shot and resolve the situation quickly and cleanly.
Time after time the Democrats have put themselves into situations where they seemed to be begging for the mercy shot....... and we never even drew our guns. Back during the judicial hearings I would have crucified Ted Kennedy when he called the President's nominations "Neanderthal's" on camera. The republicans let it pass without a word. If they had attacked, Ted Kennedy would be out of office now. Democrat after democrat goes to the press with their lies and half truths and there is utter silence from the republicans. They screamed that there were no weapons of mass destruction while President Bush is in office yet the congressional record clearly shows the very same people saying Iraq was a threat because of weapons of mass destruction while President Clinton held office. Our republicans sat on their hands and let it pass. Democrats supported President Clinton for lying to a Grand Jury, suborning perjury and lying about an adulteress relationship with an intern. Today democrats want to impeach President Bush for protecting the country against the threat of terrorism. We have a 4.7% unemployment rate today which is statistically FULL employment.... yet the democrats tell us every damn day that there just isn't any work for Americans who want a job. Interest rates for home loans are still under 6% and the democrats tell us the housing market just won't permit Americans to realize the dream of home ownership. I don't recall them whining about that when, under President Jimmy Carter, home loan interest rates hovered at the 22% range.
Speaking of President Carter. The high cost of gasoline today can be laid directly at his feet. We have gas today but during his time at the helm we had none at the pumps! We had rationing! Rather than put together a comprehensive energy independence plan for America the democrats threw up restrictive environmental regulation and effectively halted the construction of ANY new refining capacity in this country. They banned offshore drilling and severely limited drilling on the continent. They demanded costly "reformulations" (over 47) for gasoline by state and region. We have not added ONE refinery to our production capacity in over 30 YEARS because of democrat policy! Who gets blamed for the high gasoline prices? President Bush. This is typical of how the democrats operate. It's been proven time and time again. They are as predictable as sunrise and yet, the republican party fails to capitalize on the myriad of opportunities laid at their feet day after day. It's depressing.
Bottom line. IF the Rebublican party does not get a leader, does not unify behind that person and does not lay out a clearly defined agenda that the people can get behind and support, they will soon loose what little power they hold today.
The democrats have a buzz line they call "speaking truth to power." Since we all know that if a democrat uttered the truth it would be like holy water on a vampire...... what that ought to be called is "speak badly about our President." What the republicans need to do is start a policy of correcting these daily assaults on the truth. We have access to microphones and camera's too. Elect someone to be the truth teller for the republican party and get that person in front of a camera every single time a lie is put forth from the left..... and correct it with the truth. Not now and then..... EVERY single time they lie. We need to have a "speak truth to lies" policy and we need to accurately call what they say lies! Not "the gentleman mis-spoke" or "seems to be confused on the issues." Damn the polite crap! They lie.... TELL the American people that and back it up with facts! It's not hard to do.
As a greater mind than mine so brilliantly states: "Conservatism wins every single time it's tried." He's right too. Recently, in the south, wishy washy republicans were voted out in favor of those with a more traditional conservative message. America is a nation with an overwhelming conservative mindset and a huge religious underpinning to morally hold it all together. We are a conservative nation and we are a mostly Christian nation too. We need make no excuse for either nor must we compromise our ideals and our values to make room for others. By our very conservative and Christian nature we already have made room at the table for everyone who comes in good will and peace. I prey that the Republicans figure that out soon and start acting upon it.
Another major problem for the party is their "nice guy" attitude. I personally try to be a very nice guy all the time but, there are always instances when one just has to open up the XXL size can of whoop-ass and not bat an eye lash while doing it.

Democrats show what they stand for!
Unfortunately, the answer to that title is...... not much. As a matter of both fact and public record the only thing that all the Democrats stood up a cheered for was the fact that they were able to insure the insolvency of the Social Security system. That's right! They were actually proud of themselves over the fact that, because of their obstructionism, nothing was done to insure the future solvency of Social Security. Fortunately the President was quick to remind them that ignoring the problem doesn't fix it and that it's not going to go away. Of course if the Democrats fix it then they loose a more important point to them.... and that is the issue. They need to keep the issue so they'll have something to bitch about.
What the entire Democrat party (and for that matter the media) fails to understand is that George W. Bush is not the hayseed hick from Texas that they have always made him out to be. President Bush likely looses more brain cells during the course of a year than the entire Democrat party can muster combined! They have all fallen victims to their old play book option of "Tell a lie and tell it often enough and it will become the truth." They have lied about who George Bush is for so long they are believing it themselves. If you go back and watch the State of the Union address again it is the perfect example of someone getting a specific group of people to do exactly what he wants them to do on queue. It was George Bush saying to the American People..... "I'm going to show you all tonight what a bunch of misguided, pompus, childish assholes the Democrat party is...... and they are so damn arrogant that they will never even know they are leaving the ground every time I say jump." He was able to do that with such ease because the Democrat party is so damn predictable. Trust me.... if you're a sniper.... you prey for people like these. It makes your job so much easier because you don't have to antisipate the unexpected. They will always react the same way.... no surprises. President Bush, knowing that, blasted them right out of the water and not one of them ever saw it coming. They are the walking dead.
Let's be honest. If you're tasked to give an address to the entire nation and you know in advance that 50% of the people attending don't like you or your ideas.... you have a huge advantage right there. The Democrat party has yet to miss an opportunity to put a stick in George Bush's eye every single time they have a chance and they are too bias to ever change. SO! Knowing in advance how the other side is going to react to specific elements of your address lets you play puppet master and make them jump..... or not.... depending upon which strings you pull. Of course since all the Democrats think they are the smartest people in the room they make easy targets for such manipulation. "George Bush is too stupid to outsmart us!" As always they "misunderestimated" their opponent.
So what, besides the eventual ruin of Social Security, do the Democrats stand for? One thing they don't stand for is victory in Iraq and success in the war on terror. Right out of the box the President proclaimed that he was confident in the plan for victory, confident in the Iraqi people, confident in the skill and spirit of the American Military. He finished by saying we are in this fight to win and we are winning! The Democrat response was to sit in silence while the rest of the room cheered. One could almost hear the President thinking.... "Sit! Good dogs!" as he glanced to their side of the chambers. He knew how they would react to positive comments and they didn't let him down. The Democrat party has invested itself in the defeat of America at any cost and he knew that. Getting them to show their hand (or sit on them) was so easy.
Okay, so what else does the Democrat party stand (sit) for? Well they didn't seem to be excited when the President told the country how it would be decided to bring out troops home. He learned from the bungling of the Viet Nam war that you can't have boots on the ground and micromanagement going on back in Washington D.C. I got a chance to play in that game and it's not a whole hell of a lot of fun to have your unarmored fiberglass boat getting shot full of holes while all you can do is radio back to HQ to find out if it's okay to return fire! Okay to return fire? Give me a king size break! We usually put a couple rounds through the Collins rig then dumped everything we had into the jungle while lighting off the diesels and unassing the area! You damn Senators want to micromanage you'd damn sure better be doing it from right beside me or you can bet I'm not going to pay a hell of a lot of attention..... other things are on my mind.... like keeping my ass in one piece. But I digress... The President said it would be the Generals in the field making those decisions, NOT polititions in Washington. If it weren't for the rest of the chamber going nuts you could have heard a pin drop on the plush carpet. The Democrats were stone cold silent.
The next point blank shot through the heads of the Democrat party came when the President urged the reinstatement of the Patriot Act. Rather than deprive law enforcement people of the tools they need to keep terrorists out of this country or apprehend them if they are already here breaking the law..... the President wants them to have use of the same tools other branches of governement already use against drug dealers and organized crime. Once again America thought that was a great idea while the Democrat party sat on their hands in silence.... just as "W" knew they would before he ever entered the chambers. The Democrat party is much more interested in granting constitutional protection to terrorists than it is in seeing them brought to justice. They passed the "terrorist bill of rights" to make sure that these poor people who only want to see America wiped off the face of the earth are not mistreated. How nobel. How *ucking ignorant! But that is who the Democrat party have become.... the party fully invested in the defeat of America.
Now by this time one would think that even a Democrat, poor stupid beasts that they are, would have caught a clue and figured out that the President was jerking their strings and they were dancing like puppets. But alas.... we give them too much credit for sane rational thought. No, they continued to believe that they were the smartest people in the room..... and prove themselves wrong every time.
This next part is SO important in showing who the Democrats are and what they stand for that I'm going to quote the President exactly. "The terrorist surveillance program has helped prevent terrorist attacks. It remains essential to the security of America. If there are people inside our country talking with Al Qaeda, we want to know about it, because we will not sit back and wait to be hit again." [emphasis mine]
Now one should be able to reasonably assume that if there is anything both parties could agree upon it would be ensuring that the United States is never attacked again like on 9/11. But just as he knew they would do the Democrat party sat on their hands. I guess they are in favor of more attacks on American Soil and more innocent life lost to terrorist lunitics. What other conclusion can one draw?
The President informs the American people that violent crimes are at their lowest point since the 1970's. Thanks to reforms welfare cases have dropped by nearly half over the past decade. Drug use among youth is down 19% since 2001. There are fewer abortions in America than at any point during the last three decades, and the number of children born to unwed teenage mothers has been falling for a dozen years in a row. This is all great news, folks! News that should make any American proud...... but not if you're a Democrat. No.... once again they all sat in stone cold silence.
If we just make the obvious inference.... that must mean that Democrats all stand for higher crime rates, more killing of the innocent unborn, more unwed teenage girls being pregnant.... and of course more people on welfare. They are the ones who bitch moan and complain about the military volunteers who die in defense of this wonderful concept known as freedom. They claim that is unfair and wrong. YET..... they do NOT complain and bitch over the thousands and thousands of lives ended before they ever had a chance through abortion. Lives never lived, greatness never realized, love never known. They did not knowingly volunteer for some mission that might put them in harms way as our troops do. So we have the right to kill the unborn and that's okay. And volunteering to defend this country and freedom is wrong. How screwed up can these people possibly be?
Finally we have the plea by the President to make the tax cuts permanent. What he is saying is basically.... Let's keep the economy strong and chugging along.... and let's let the people who bust their asses to earn the money keep more of it so they can buy the things they need, not have to go into debt with credit, and invest in the US economy through savings and the stock market. As you might suspect, when it comes to the issue of taxes, the Democrat party does not believe there is such a thing as too much tax. Like good socialists and communists every where they believe that all money is the property of the government and they will decide who gets how much, when, and what we can spend it on. So they did exactly what President Bush knew they would do..... they sat on their hands once again. They showed the American People that they are the party of higher and never ending taxes as the solution to all problems. They demonstrated their contempt for the President of the United States and everyone who is proud of this country and proud to call themselves American. They demonstarted that they are not the other party.... they are the OPPOSITION party and that is all they have to offer. Opposition to everything that might make America a greater country, a stronger country and a safer country.
The "Democrat Response" to the State of the Union Address was equally as predictable as the behavior of those democrats at the real address. "America is in horrible shape...... it's the 1930's all over again under George Bush. Soup lines in every town.... nobody can find work anywhere, taxes are not nearly high enough........ Yet don't dispair..... because we Democrats know that there is a better way. Ever notice that they never tell anyone excatly what that better way is? I guess we are to assume that it's simply putting THEM in control of everything and abandoning everything we stand for. I think we all got to see what happens with Democrats in complete control when Katrina hit the gulf coast. To look at the news coverage the world was left to believe that ONLY New Orleans and ONLY Louisiana was hit by that storm. Not the case at all. All the other states affected had competent leadership who stepped up to the plate and took care of business rather than pissing and moaning that no one else was doing anything for them. Mayor Nagin bitching about transportation while 40,000 busses under HIS direct control gradually go under water. Everyone up the entire state leadership pointing fingers and placing blame rather than accept responsibility and take action. That is the Democrat way. Oh... the govenor who gave that response...... within 72 hours of being elected he'd proposed 4 BILLION dollars in additional taxes on the people of his state. I'm sure they are all quite proud and more than eager to empty their wallets into the government coffers. After all.... what do they need their money for anyway?
To the Democrat party..... who, for obvious reasons, I'm just going to rename the American Communist-Socialist Opposition Party or ACSOP for short, had better get used to being out of power in Washington D.C. and everywhere else. What they demonstrated so clearly the other night was that they are not for America or it's people. They want us defeated on the battlefield. If we can't be defeated then they want us to tuck tail and run like cowards. (That one REALLY pisses me off) They want us taxed more and more because taxes equal power in Washington. It's how they buy votes and stay in office. The ACSOP wants us more vulnerable to terrorist attack by limiting our ability to monitor known or suspected terrorists. The ACSOP wants us to "be nice" and "play fair" with a radical group of fanatics who have sworn to wipe America and Israel off the face of the earth. They want to give terrorists RIGHTS! Hell... I want to give terrorists a right too. If you screw with us you have the absolute right to die.... PERIOD! Seems fair to me. Act like genuine human beings and get along with others.... live in peace..... or get blow away. Doesn't matter to me which they choose. I prefer make nice but if they want to play rough then we have to have the guts to amp things up and let them know that they have made a really poor decision. And we have to keep doing that over and over again until the message finally sinks in. Saddly.... they are probably just like democrats.... think they are the smartest people in the room.... so they will never learn.
What the entire Democrat party (and for that matter the media) fails to understand is that George W. Bush is not the hayseed hick from Texas that they have always made him out to be. President Bush likely looses more brain cells during the course of a year than the entire Democrat party can muster combined! They have all fallen victims to their old play book option of "Tell a lie and tell it often enough and it will become the truth." They have lied about who George Bush is for so long they are believing it themselves. If you go back and watch the State of the Union address again it is the perfect example of someone getting a specific group of people to do exactly what he wants them to do on queue. It was George Bush saying to the American People..... "I'm going to show you all tonight what a bunch of misguided, pompus, childish assholes the Democrat party is...... and they are so damn arrogant that they will never even know they are leaving the ground every time I say jump." He was able to do that with such ease because the Democrat party is so damn predictable. Trust me.... if you're a sniper.... you prey for people like these. It makes your job so much easier because you don't have to antisipate the unexpected. They will always react the same way.... no surprises. President Bush, knowing that, blasted them right out of the water and not one of them ever saw it coming. They are the walking dead.
Let's be honest. If you're tasked to give an address to the entire nation and you know in advance that 50% of the people attending don't like you or your ideas.... you have a huge advantage right there. The Democrat party has yet to miss an opportunity to put a stick in George Bush's eye every single time they have a chance and they are too bias to ever change. SO! Knowing in advance how the other side is going to react to specific elements of your address lets you play puppet master and make them jump..... or not.... depending upon which strings you pull. Of course since all the Democrats think they are the smartest people in the room they make easy targets for such manipulation. "George Bush is too stupid to outsmart us!" As always they "misunderestimated" their opponent.
So what, besides the eventual ruin of Social Security, do the Democrats stand for? One thing they don't stand for is victory in Iraq and success in the war on terror. Right out of the box the President proclaimed that he was confident in the plan for victory, confident in the Iraqi people, confident in the skill and spirit of the American Military. He finished by saying we are in this fight to win and we are winning! The Democrat response was to sit in silence while the rest of the room cheered. One could almost hear the President thinking.... "Sit! Good dogs!" as he glanced to their side of the chambers. He knew how they would react to positive comments and they didn't let him down. The Democrat party has invested itself in the defeat of America at any cost and he knew that. Getting them to show their hand (or sit on them) was so easy.
Okay, so what else does the Democrat party stand (sit) for? Well they didn't seem to be excited when the President told the country how it would be decided to bring out troops home. He learned from the bungling of the Viet Nam war that you can't have boots on the ground and micromanagement going on back in Washington D.C. I got a chance to play in that game and it's not a whole hell of a lot of fun to have your unarmored fiberglass boat getting shot full of holes while all you can do is radio back to HQ to find out if it's okay to return fire! Okay to return fire? Give me a king size break! We usually put a couple rounds through the Collins rig then dumped everything we had into the jungle while lighting off the diesels and unassing the area! You damn Senators want to micromanage you'd damn sure better be doing it from right beside me or you can bet I'm not going to pay a hell of a lot of attention..... other things are on my mind.... like keeping my ass in one piece. But I digress... The President said it would be the Generals in the field making those decisions, NOT polititions in Washington. If it weren't for the rest of the chamber going nuts you could have heard a pin drop on the plush carpet. The Democrats were stone cold silent.
The next point blank shot through the heads of the Democrat party came when the President urged the reinstatement of the Patriot Act. Rather than deprive law enforcement people of the tools they need to keep terrorists out of this country or apprehend them if they are already here breaking the law..... the President wants them to have use of the same tools other branches of governement already use against drug dealers and organized crime. Once again America thought that was a great idea while the Democrat party sat on their hands in silence.... just as "W" knew they would before he ever entered the chambers. The Democrat party is much more interested in granting constitutional protection to terrorists than it is in seeing them brought to justice. They passed the "terrorist bill of rights" to make sure that these poor people who only want to see America wiped off the face of the earth are not mistreated. How nobel. How *ucking ignorant! But that is who the Democrat party have become.... the party fully invested in the defeat of America.
Now by this time one would think that even a Democrat, poor stupid beasts that they are, would have caught a clue and figured out that the President was jerking their strings and they were dancing like puppets. But alas.... we give them too much credit for sane rational thought. No, they continued to believe that they were the smartest people in the room..... and prove themselves wrong every time.
This next part is SO important in showing who the Democrats are and what they stand for that I'm going to quote the President exactly. "The terrorist surveillance program has helped prevent terrorist attacks. It remains essential to the security of America. If there are people inside our country talking with Al Qaeda, we want to know about it, because we will not sit back and wait to be hit again." [emphasis mine]
Now one should be able to reasonably assume that if there is anything both parties could agree upon it would be ensuring that the United States is never attacked again like on 9/11. But just as he knew they would do the Democrat party sat on their hands. I guess they are in favor of more attacks on American Soil and more innocent life lost to terrorist lunitics. What other conclusion can one draw?
The President informs the American people that violent crimes are at their lowest point since the 1970's. Thanks to reforms welfare cases have dropped by nearly half over the past decade. Drug use among youth is down 19% since 2001. There are fewer abortions in America than at any point during the last three decades, and the number of children born to unwed teenage mothers has been falling for a dozen years in a row. This is all great news, folks! News that should make any American proud...... but not if you're a Democrat. No.... once again they all sat in stone cold silence.
If we just make the obvious inference.... that must mean that Democrats all stand for higher crime rates, more killing of the innocent unborn, more unwed teenage girls being pregnant.... and of course more people on welfare. They are the ones who bitch moan and complain about the military volunteers who die in defense of this wonderful concept known as freedom. They claim that is unfair and wrong. YET..... they do NOT complain and bitch over the thousands and thousands of lives ended before they ever had a chance through abortion. Lives never lived, greatness never realized, love never known. They did not knowingly volunteer for some mission that might put them in harms way as our troops do. So we have the right to kill the unborn and that's okay. And volunteering to defend this country and freedom is wrong. How screwed up can these people possibly be?
Finally we have the plea by the President to make the tax cuts permanent. What he is saying is basically.... Let's keep the economy strong and chugging along.... and let's let the people who bust their asses to earn the money keep more of it so they can buy the things they need, not have to go into debt with credit, and invest in the US economy through savings and the stock market. As you might suspect, when it comes to the issue of taxes, the Democrat party does not believe there is such a thing as too much tax. Like good socialists and communists every where they believe that all money is the property of the government and they will decide who gets how much, when, and what we can spend it on. So they did exactly what President Bush knew they would do..... they sat on their hands once again. They showed the American People that they are the party of higher and never ending taxes as the solution to all problems. They demonstrated their contempt for the President of the United States and everyone who is proud of this country and proud to call themselves American. They demonstarted that they are not the other party.... they are the OPPOSITION party and that is all they have to offer. Opposition to everything that might make America a greater country, a stronger country and a safer country.
The "Democrat Response" to the State of the Union Address was equally as predictable as the behavior of those democrats at the real address. "America is in horrible shape...... it's the 1930's all over again under George Bush. Soup lines in every town.... nobody can find work anywhere, taxes are not nearly high enough........ Yet don't dispair..... because we Democrats know that there is a better way. Ever notice that they never tell anyone excatly what that better way is? I guess we are to assume that it's simply putting THEM in control of everything and abandoning everything we stand for. I think we all got to see what happens with Democrats in complete control when Katrina hit the gulf coast. To look at the news coverage the world was left to believe that ONLY New Orleans and ONLY Louisiana was hit by that storm. Not the case at all. All the other states affected had competent leadership who stepped up to the plate and took care of business rather than pissing and moaning that no one else was doing anything for them. Mayor Nagin bitching about transportation while 40,000 busses under HIS direct control gradually go under water. Everyone up the entire state leadership pointing fingers and placing blame rather than accept responsibility and take action. That is the Democrat way. Oh... the govenor who gave that response...... within 72 hours of being elected he'd proposed 4 BILLION dollars in additional taxes on the people of his state. I'm sure they are all quite proud and more than eager to empty their wallets into the government coffers. After all.... what do they need their money for anyway?
