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.

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!

More Radical Left Wing Forgetfullness
I'm still trying to understand exactly what there is about the Left Wing dingbats that makes them think we can't remember anything that happened before Geroge W. Bush was elected President. (Yes... that's E-lected not selected you freaking idiots! Get over it!) In their twisted little minds absolutely nothing happened in America prior to President Bush being elected. All one need do is listen to the Liberal members of the Senate, (most loudly) House, and the Old Stream media to understand what I'm saying.
The biggest burr under my saddle this week is all the bald face lying being directed at "we the people" by the above named groups. The attempt is, of course, to "get the evil Bush railroaded out of office so the true owners of Washington power can return to their rightful place." Latest on their list of things to lie about is the telephone intercept program designed to monitor calls incoming to the United States from known Al-Qaida terrorists overseas. This has been called "illegal monitoring", illegal searches", "trampling on our rights" and of course, "A president who thinks he is above the law going around the courts." Naturally there is about as much truth to these claims as there is brain power behind them.
Of course NOTHING ever happened prior to President Bush coming to Washington. There were no Presidents before him, the country has never faced any dangers before his election. Everything was all pink and rosy and everyone happy..... until the EVIL Bush came to town, stole the election and ruined everything. OH Really???? Sad to say, Libs, that there is indeed history prior to President Bush and if one just takes a little look at it we can all see exactly WHY Liberals choose to ignore it so conviently.
The Democrats and the press are both throwing the NSA "eavesdropping" program in our collective faces day in and day out. The purpose is to make us think that this has never EVER happened before in the history of the world! Dirty little secret time!!! Good old William Jefferson Clinton (Remember him Democrats?) had not one.... but TWO of the most intrusive domestic spying programs in history going on during his term in office!! The Attorney General (Janet Reno) and Deputy Attorney General (Jamie Gorelic) BOTH stood before the American People and TOLD us that the President of the United States not only had the RIGHT to do such things but the inherient OBLIGATION to conduct such operations!!! And just in case no one remembers... the main reason the government exists is to protect and defend the constitution and the American people.
Two words you need to go look up on the internet with your favorite search engine. Echelon is the first one and Carnivore is the second. Okay.... I'll save you a little effort.... Here is what can easily be found about Echelon: "Echelon is perhaps the most powerful intelligence gathering organization in the world. Several credible reports suggest that this global electronic communications surveillance system presents an extreame threat to the privacy of people all over the world. According to these reports ECHELON attempts to capture staggering volumes of satellite, microwave, cellular and fiber-optic traffic including traffic to and from North America. This vast quantity of voice and data communications are then processed through sophisticated filtering technologies. This massive surveillance system apparently operates with little oversight. Moreover, the agency that purportedly run ECHELON have provided few details as to the legal guidelines for the project. Because of this there is no way of knowing if ECHELON is being used to illegally spy on private citizens."
For the record... and to jog Liberal Democrat brains... what few there are to be found.... Echelon was started at the directive of William Jefferson Clinton. What does that mean? Basically... if you used a voice communications device any time during the last half of the Clinton Presidency... your conversation is on file somewhere.... period. I don't recall any "concerned Democrats" screaming and hollaring about oversteping presidential authority, acting illegally, being above the law or spying on American citizens..... do you? Clinton can do it but Bush can't? Both hold the same office and have the same authority BUT for democrats there are different standards depending upon who is in office at the time. Okay... that sounds fair. (Yeah... right!)
Now then..... Carnivore. What was missing with Echelon? Come on... that's not a tough question... think about it for a minute. Every source of electronic communication is being monitored, filtered, searched and investigated. Okay as far as it went but to get around it all you had to do was send a simple e-mail message over the internet. That's a pretty big hole to have in your spying program don't you think? Good old Bill thought it was so a little program called "Etherpeek" started. By 1997 (Before George W. Bush if you'll note) the second generation program called "Omnivore" was on line sniffing through e-mails. Omnivore was designed to search through e-mail traffic through specific ISP's for certain names, addresses and keywords. Which ISP's? They aren't telling. By the end of the Clinton era (1999) Carnivore had evolved into the "Dragonware Suite" which certainly sounds much nicer. The suite consisted of three parts. Carnivore was still the main application for capturing information. "Packeteer" is the second part. Not much is known about this application but it is presumed that it was able to reassemble the data packets into cohesive messages or web pages. The third part of the suite was "Coolminer." Again this is Top Secret stuff so almost nothing is know about exactly how this application works but it is thought to be responsible for extrapolating and analizing the raw data gathered so the data can be matched and contrasted with data known about "the bad guys."
SO! ALL electronic communication globally being monitored at the directive of the President AND all e-mail communications within the United States being monitored at the directive of the President. The main stream media is almost completely silent and collectively the Democratic party doesn't have any concerns or voice a single complaint. Amazing! President Bush authorizes the intercept of phone calls inbound to the United States from known Al-Qaida terrorists and HE is suddenly the biggest threat to the security of the American People in the history of the universe. How damn sick and twisted can the Democrats possibly get? Compared to what President Clinton ordered the Bush program doesn't amount to a gnat on and elephants ass. It is specifically targeted at known terroritst.... not the entire world and every American who sends an e-mail like Clinton's programs. Yet President Bush is the threat? Sorry... it just doesn't float, Libs.
Just today I get to hear a sound bite of Hillery Rodham (Mrs. Bill) Clinton bitching and moaning to anyone who will listen (only everyone in the loyal democratic press) that President Bush has overstepped his authority and is acting illegally in his "domestic spying" program. Of all the people to bitch after what her husband did.... positively amazing. What pisses me off the most is that the folks in the Republican party just sit there and let these brainless blowhards go on and on and on without ever calling their butts on the carpet and setting the record straight. Just a few words to them..... you guys are the majority.... you guys are in charge..... you guys have history and the facts. ACT like you're in charge and use the facts to destroy these useless little piss-ants who keep making stuff up and overlooking history when it doesn't suit them.
Trampling on American citizen's civil rights and "overstepping" Presidential authority? Bush? I think I'd go ask some of the tens of thousands of American citizens who were taken from their homes, lost their jobs, businesses and bank accounts. People who were spirited away in the night and forced to live in near prison camp conditions. People who could not protest their treatment for fear of being shot! The Presidnet? Democrat Harry Truman..... and his victims were of Japaneese heritage but American citizens.... most by birth! Yeah.... you Democrats can claim George W. Bush is trampling on the rights of the American people.... but the only examples you can point to of actually doing it are Democrats. You'd love for us to forgot those facts as you try to do..... but we won't.

ACT like you're in charge and use the facts to destroy these useless little piss-ants who keep making stuff up and overlooking history when it doesn't suit them.
Trampling on American citizen's civil rights and "overstepping" Presidential authority? Bush? I think I'd go ask some of the tens of thousands of American citizens who were taken from their homes, lost their jobs, businesses and bank accounts. People who were spirited away in the night and forced to live in near prison camp conditions. People who could not protest their treatment for fear of being shot! The Presidnet? Democrat Harry Truman..... and his victims were of Japaneese heritage but American citizens.... most by birth! Yeah.... you Democrats can claim George W. Bush is trampling on the rights of the American people.... but the only examples you can point to of actually doing it are Democrats. You'd love for us to forgot those facts as you try to do..... but we won't.

BLAM!! The press shoots itself in the foot again.
You know, I really wish I could get off what must seem like a vendetta against the press in this country. I'm probably going to have to force myself to tackle another issue. However, every darn time I unload my weapon in their general direction..... Damn if one of them doesn't grab the magazine, reload it for me and hand it right back. (perhaps with some training and doggie treats I can get them to also slam it home and jack the slide back to chamber the first round)
Tonight our guest of honor in the ol' crosshairs is Mary Mapes. She used to be just about as high up in the ol' boy network she could get at CBS without banging her head on that (not supposed to be there) glass ceiling. Basically she was numero uno in charge of all the news that the anchor person delivers. The former Dan Rather delivered some of her work to the nation. Of course that's exactly why he's the former anchor man at CBS. The now infamous "Burkett memos" were something that passed through her hands to the accomplice anchor man's hands.
For those who have forgotten a Mr. Bill Burkett (sadly from Texas) "discovered" some lost and forgotten "memos" and other "documents" exiting his printer. These "memos" and "documents" had to do with the Presidents national guard service. They were about as genuine as a three dollar bill with former President Clinton's smiling face on the front. Four document experts reviewed these works. Two departed almost immediately since they were obvious fakes. The other two hung around long enough to tell Miss. Mapes that taking these things public would be a serious mistake because they were obviously fake. (One of the biggest clues was that the manual typewriters of that era did not possess the font used and could not deliver the straight lines and uniform spacing these papers demonstrated. Something about them also being printed on paper not of that era was a tad fishy too.) None the less Miss Mapes and others at CBS had an agenda and something as trivial as the lack of authenticity of their latest tool was not going to deter them.
So the chief stooge in all of this, Dan Rather, faces the cameras and reports that newly discovered documents prove that President Bush had people pulling strings to get him into the Air National Guard and keep him out of the war. Within minutes their "evidence" of this eeeeevil plot had more holes in it than a warehouse of aged Swiss cheese. The blogs lit up like a California hillside during brush fire season with Santa Anna winds fanning the flames.
CBS should have quickly tossed Mr. Burkett under a bus, or passing Metro commuter train but instead they stuck with their story. (and now we all know why the news industry calls them stories, don't we) But they did start to waffle after a couple of days of the growing heat. They started to defend themselves with very carefully selected words. They would say that the information in the memo's had not been proven to be false, thereby cleverly overlooking the fact that the entire document was a gross fabrication. And since a lot of America pays little or no attention and only picks up the sound bites what started to stick was that Bush lied. Geee! That sounds exactly like the same line the democrats are still trying to use today. Talk about your broken record. But as we've learned from the CBS debacle.... If you don't have anything you can use against someone simply make it up.
Miss Mapes seems to have found herself in the company of the also unemployed Mr Rather lately. Well... not actually IN Mr. Rather's company.... just equally unemployed. She appeared on the Larry King show the other night. Funny how liberals will not simply let other disgraced liberals quietly fade from memory. Larry asks about the documents several times and Miss Mapes comes out with something that ought to have everyone in the country taking a vow to never watch mainstream news again. "Larry, it's not our job to prove the source material is authentic.... It's up to the other side to prove it's not."
I sure hope to hell that I wasn't the only one to grasp the significance of that statement. For those not tuned in to LibSpeak what she just said was that it's okay for the media to just make stuff up if it helps advance their "story" and their agenda. Normally they advance their agenda by very selectively reporting the "news" to America. For instance.... their anti-war agenda. Please name the last time you heard a positive news report on either Iraq or Afghanistan. Please recount the last time a major media source aired a report showing our troops engaged in building schools (over 350 at last count), rebuilding municipal infrastructure, protecting and treating the hapless victims of terrorist attacks. Keep your eyes peeled for the paid ads run by the people of Kurdistan in northern Iraq TO the people of America! Kurdistan is quiet, peaceful and not one U.S. troop has died in that area since 2003. They just want to say thank you America for our freedom. That should have been a news item on every major network but it wasn't and it won't be either. That's why the people of Kurdistan had to run ads in the American media... so we would know the truth.
That last line is a sad commentary, folks. For several years now I've been mulling over the idea of assigning a rating system to all the media. We could have a "BS" rating for the tabloids for example. We could have a "N" rating for outlets that accurately reported the news. We might have a rating of "VB" for outlets that demonstrated a high degree of bias in their reporting. One could keep breaking it down but that's enough for now. Then I take the rating system one step further. First to have to prominently display your rating on the main page of a print publication and in the lower right hand corner of a TV presentation. I'd like to go one step farther and just flatly forbid anyone from being on TV unless they had an "N" rating but there is that freedom of the press thing. My nifty little system doesn't restrict the freedom of the press though. All it does is warn the public that you just might be on the receiving end of a big steaming shovel full if you don't see that "N" rating. I think that's something everyone in America ought to know!

The Democrat Whirlpool
It seems that the democrats are getting motion sickness these days. It's a two part problem for them but fairly easy to explain really. Part one is caused by their heads spinning around. Not unlike the little girl in The Exorcist. While most are likely not possessed by demons there is more than enough evil intent on their side to go around several times. The head spinning is caused by constantly having to change position on the various key issues based upon which special interest group they are addressing. This begins the dizziness. Part two is caused by their 40 year history of absolute control in Washington D.C. slipping further and faster out of their greedy grasp. No matter what trick or scheme they try lately it blows up in their faces. They are in one giant "flush mode" whirlpool and heading down the drain fast! Frankly it's a hoot to watch.
The current democrat party is a party without a solid core. Rather it is a conglomeration of special interest groups which the party leadership must cater to. Even at Dictionary.com one of the definitions for cater reads "The legislation catered to several special interest groups." Do those people know democrats or what? John Kerry was a prime example in his doomed run for the top office. In Detroit (New Falluja) Kerry boasted of owning several large SUV's as he addressed union auto workers. A few days later he denied owning any SUV's by stating "I don't own any, my family does." That is a point without any difference.
On my other blog I addressed the waste of time and money this trumped up witchhunt over "spy outting" is. Documentation anyone with a computer can find proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Plame outed herself 6 and 7 years before any of this other stuff surfaced. Her brilliant husband (and media whore) listed her by her cover name and cover company in the bio section of a speakers list when he spoke at a conference on Iraq one full year prior to the current hype. This is just another little "get Bush" gambit and, like all the others, it too is doomed to abject failure.
What the democratic party fails to understand is that under our political system there is no absolute right to govern granted to either party. Every other year it's a crap shoot as to who will gain office be that House, Senate or Presidency. (which I know is every four years) Back when the democrat party had a core and actually stood for things they held sway with a majority of Americans and, as a result, maintained a leadership position for four decades. At this point they really need to rename their party the "Demosaurs" because they are about to meet the big space rock and become extinct.
However, during that long reign of control, the Democrats came to believe that control was their birthright. Right now the party needs to be assessing itself and asking the key question "what is wrong with our position". But to them there is nothing wrong with their position on key issues. When they get rejected the finger pointing begins. It's rigged voting machines. It's evil republicans keeping blacks from the polls. It's that their "message" didn't get out. It's unfair and biased talk radio. The list goes on and on and on. And like one democrat put it after Persident Bush handily won the last election... "How could 51 million Americans be so stupid?" That's right... we the people are too stupid to vote for democrats..... according to them.
Sorry Dem's but the biggest stockpile of stupid is in your backyard not ours. (We have outhouses and old cars in our backyards... no room for stupid) You are the ones who earnestly believe that the American people are instantly going to believe anything you say today. That we don't have a memory. For the last two years we've heard an endless stream of "Bush Lied!" and "there were no weapons of mass destruction!" Frankly it gets tiring and that's another one of your problems. All one has to do is let their fingers trip over their keyboards and there is a wealth of wonderful quotaions on both Iraq and WMD's. Try some of these on for size:
"Without question we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator leading an impressive regime. He presents a particularlly grievous threat because he is so consistantly prone to miscalculation. And now he's miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistant grasp for weapons of mass destruction."
And how about this one:
"If Saddam rejects peace, and we have to use force, our purpose is clear: We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
And one more just to make my point crystal clear:
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the developement of weapons of mass destruction technology, which is a threat to countries in the region, and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Yep! Those statements are all on the record and in the history books boys and girls. War mongering republicans you suspect? WRONG!! The first quote is the work of none other and John F. Kerry on January 23, 2003. The second by the king of semen stained blue dresses himself... former President William Jefferson Clinton on February 17th, 1998. And the final quote is given to us by "Queen" Nancy Pelosi on December 16th, 1998. Each and every one a democrat to the bone and each and every one has since accused President Bush of lying about Iraq having WMD's just to get us into a war. Seems a bit two faced if you ask me. The list of famous democrats who made similar statements is lengthy. Too lengthy for me to quote them all here. However I can list a few names of leading democrats who were 100% on board for kicking Iraq's ass because of their WMD programs.
1. Bill Clinton
2. John F. Kerry
3. Nancy Pelosi
4. Sandy Berger
5. Madeleine Albright
6. Carl Levin
7. Tom Daschle
8. Al Gore
9. Ted Kennedy
10. Robert Byrd
Just to name a few! Each and every one with the very same message. Saddam Hussein is an evil man and a threat to the region and the world because of his persuit of WMD's. Folks it seems to me that if these very same people now are claiming that "Bush lied" to get us into war then wern't they lying to the American people then? Hummmmmm?? You can't have it both ways democrats that that's what's killing them. If anyone is constantly lying to the American people it's the left. They lie about Presiden Bush. They lie about their stated position on the war and on WMD's. They lie about who they are every election cycle. They lie about what they believe and what they truly want for this country.
While they piss and moan about every little bitty thing that doesn't go their way what they are not hearing is the sound of the American people waking up and paying attention. What they are not seeing is that their old ally, the mainstream media, is starting to splinter a bit and isn't always as eager to jump on their bandwagon anymore. Don't get me wrong on that point though. The mainstream media is still a bit to the left of ol' Joe Stallin and they still have their own agenda to advance. They just haven't figured out how to get anyone but democrats to do that for them yet. Thanks to the internet and the FOX network there is now a check and balance to their former total control of the media. Now when they lie all the details hit cyberspace in nanoseconds.
So while I watch the democratic party getting sucked into a black hole of it's own making I'm both elated and saddened. I'm happy because this current bunch is as slimy as dead fish and needs to get sucked apart and squashed into oblivion. I'm sad, though, because at one time this was a pretty great party and actually stood for something. They did do some good in the world and did make a difference. But their entitlement mentality refuses to come to grips with the fact that the American people have heard their "message" and have rejected it. Democrats rail against "christians" and make fun of our beliefs when 84% of the country is christian. Want a good way to stay out of power? Alienate the majority of the voters... that will do it every time. Like someone said.... put a sack of excrement down and a democrat will go out of his way to step in it. They are coming apart at the seams and can't figure that out. They can't look at themselves and see a problem. Obviously we the people have seen a problem with them.

What the hell do you want?
Sheehan: Get troops out of 'occupied New Orleans'Mother of slain soldier decries 'military and governmental fascism'
Posted: September 16, 20053:29 p.m. Eastern
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
Cindy SheehanFresh from a visit to hurricane-ravaged Louisiana, anti-Bush activist Cindy Sheehan is demanding the U.S. military be removed from "occupied New Orleans."
In a dispatch on leftist filmmaker Michael Moore's website, Sheehan said she was troubled by the "level of the military presence" in the Gulf Coast state.
The above is posted just to remind you of how totally screwed up the radical left really is. Cindy is one of those leftists who was bitching and moaning just a couple of weeks ago that the Federal Government wasn't doing enough or moving fast enough to help the people of New Orleans. Okay. So the Federal Government shows up and now she's bitching and moaning that they are there.... and wants them gone.
Earth to Cindy! Who the hell did you think the Federal Government would send to New Orleans anyway? Perhaps a bunch of clerks from the Congress or accountants from the IRS? There is only one force on the planet that can move equipment and material on the scale necessary to do any good.... and that is the U.S. Military. There is not another single organization on earth that can do what the U.S. Military can do.... Period! From small boats to heavy lift helicopters. From supply ships to Hospital ships. From amphibious vehicles to the largest trained water rescue force anywhere right down to the engineers and equipment necessary to plug dikes and pump out water.
If Ms. Sheehan and her leftist buddies are so damn concerned about who is in New Orleans helping people recover they might get off their sorry butts and volunteer to help! You'll see some leftists show up for photo ops but that's the extent of it. Why? Because the left has consistently demonstrated, over the last couple decades, exactly what it is they do best. What is that? They Bitch. They point fingers, blame the folks trying to accomplish things and complain about everything. All we ever hear from the left is a constant stream of hatred for everything and everyone not them. Never a kind word on any topic.
If the left wants to know why it has lost political power and will likely never get it back all they have to do is look at what they offer the American people. Bitching, moaning, whining, complaining, personal attacks, hatred and loathing. Where is the hope? Where is the optimism? Where is the plan to make things better? Where and the new and fresh ideas? They have been using the same old worn out plan for nearly 70 years and refuse to catch a clue and update their thinking. Who, in their right mind, wants to vote in the party of bigger government, more erosion of personal freedoms and higher taxes?
New Orleans and the State of Louisiana prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Liberalism simply does not work. Controlled by democrats for over 60 years it should have been a utopia if you buy into what liberals say they are going to do. And that is all the liberals want you to do too. Buy into what they say. They themselves often remark, when another of their grand schemes fails, "judge us on our good intentions, not by the results." In other words judge us by what we say not by what we actually do. Just when the good citizens of New Orleans needed their elected liberal democrat leaders the very most what did they get? Abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Consider that a model for the entire nation. Put liberal democrats back in charge and just when you need them the most your ass will be left swinging in the breeze.
I'm sorry this wasn't all that funny.....Except if you consider that the left never knows what the hell it wants to be funny. To use the words of TomDaschlel.... "I'm deeply troubled" that the left just doesn't get it...And likely never will.

The Media IS the answer!
I've been watching all the non-stop media coverage of Katrina and frankly I'd seen enough after 5 minutes to realize that a hurricane had hit New Orleans and the place was pretty much wiped out. However, the media thinks we're all dumb as a mud fence so they have to keep ramming this stuff down out throats around the clock.
During all that coverage a very simple thought occurred to me. Rather than listening to the media keep questioning the response to the storm.... how about the next time a major U.S. city is wiped out... we simply put the media in charge of the response efforts! It's the most obvious and most perfect solution.
At every turn the media constantly questions the type of assistance, the level of assistance, the timing of the assistance and the delivery of the assistance. It's as if they are reading off the play sheet and pointing out all the errors being made by the responders. They have pointed out that the city had no responsibility for taking care of it's own citizens. They don't seem to think that the state of Louisiana bears much responsibility either. IF anything is to be done to help the people of Louisiana and those of New Orleans then it seems to all fall on the shoulders of the Federal Government.
We take you now to the future. We're watching the CBS-BS evening news as they detail the approach of a catagory 4 hurricane to the east coast of Florida. Suddenly there is a disturbance off camera then uniformed troops surround the anchor. A neat looking man in a well tailored suit arrives. "Sir! I'm from FEMA and I'm here to relieve you."
"What the hell are you talking about? I'm right in the middle of the news!"
"We know sir, so if you'll just get up I'll take over and you can be on your way." says the man in the suit.
"Take over? Be on my way where for God sake?" asks the anchor.
"Be on your way to FEMA headquarters of course. Your helicopter is waiting in the parking lot right now." repliies the suit.
"Why in the hell would I want to go to FEMA Headquarters? There is a hurricane heading for Florida and that's big news. I can't leave now!" says the anchor.
"Exactly! The President was so impressed with your network's knowledge of what should have been done after Katrina hit Louisiana that he just signed an executive order placing CBS-BS in total charge of the disaster relief efforts. You're now in charge of FEMA!" smiles the suit.
"But.... I'm a news anchor! I don't know anything about disaster relief or what to do." says the anchor as two large uniformed troops lift him from his well padded chair.
"Boy! You sure had us fooled then. From the way you guys ripped our asses over Katrina we all figured that you guys were all experts in everything from logistics to improvised engineering solutions." the suit replied as he settled into the chair and glanced at the stack of news notes on the desk.
The anchor was still screaming as the troops escorted him and every member of CBS-BS management out of the building and onto the waiting helicopters. The suit looked up at the unblinking eye of the camera and began....
"As the hurricane bears down on the coast of Florida everyone is wondering if the response from FEMA will be any more effective now than it was for Katrina...."
During all that coverage a very simple thought occurred to me. Rather than listening to the media keep questioning the response to the storm.... how about the next time a major U.S. city is wiped out... we simply put the media in charge of the response efforts! It's the most obvious and most perfect solution.
At every turn the media constantly questions the type of assistance, the level of assistance, the timing of the assistance and the delivery of the assistance. It's as if they are reading off the play sheet and pointing out all the errors being made by the responders. They have pointed out that the city had no responsibility for taking care of it's own citizens. They don't seem to think that the state of Louisiana bears much responsibility either. IF anything is to be done to help the people of Louisiana and those of New Orleans then it seems to all fall on the shoulders of the Federal Government.
We take you now to the future. We're watching the CBS-BS evening news as they detail the approach of a catagory 4 hurricane to the east coast of Florida. Suddenly there is a disturbance off camera then uniformed troops surround the anchor. A neat looking man in a well tailored suit arrives. "Sir! I'm from FEMA and I'm here to relieve you."
"What the hell are you talking about? I'm right in the middle of the news!"

Introduction
We all know about that other "move on" organization. Yeah, those are the ones... the ones who absolutely refuse to move on or even attempt to catch up with reasoned and rational society. This will be different... a LOT different. Real short on the hate and lothing and other tools of a tired old worn out political party and real long on humor. Some just "in your face" humor and some that you'll have to give some genuine thought to. (No... I don't expect some folks to get that part)
I make no attempt whatsoever to be grammatically correct or use proper punctuation. I'll leave that to the press, who is always 100% correct about everything. Nope! I'm just going to call them as I see them here. Like what you read... fine. Don't like what you read and get all pissed off and bent outta shape..... tough toenails. This is America and you do have the absolute right to be offended here. Enjoy it! I would go ahead and give the basic premise of this blog but if you have a couple of functioning brain cells to rub together you'll probably figure it out soon enough. (I also suspect some folks will never figure it out... probably the same folks scratching their ass about the humor) Likewise I'll probably mess up the spelling of a word now and then. Some of that is my fault for never aspiring to be a journalist, (you remember... the ones who are 100% right all of the time) part is the fault of my fingers which sometimes do things without my orders and part is a very old keyboard which likes to stick sometimes. (But I'll try to catch those for you)
Most of the time I'm just going to take a really twisted look at the world and let you know what I see. This is also like that other move on place but with my head out of my ass which gives me a better view point! Sometimes I'm just going to Poke fun at darn near everything. A sense if humor is vital when the majority of what you are used to getting is negative and dark. So you can view this blog just like life. Don't take it seriously because no one is getting out alive anyway.
