Dems Running Scared

Our congressional representative, John Tanner, has figured out a way to avoid those town hall meetings where he might get asked questions he can't answer or might have to face angry constituents who aren't especially happy about the pitiful job Democrats are doing: he's going to have "telephone" town halls. *heh heh*

Well, the man appears to be a coward. He's been roosting in that position for about 20 years now and he needs to go. I used to vote for him, basically because of his support for the Second Amendment, but that's not even a good enough reason anymore. He can be a "Blue Dog" or not, but if he goes along with this health care plan (whatever the hell it is, few people have read it and nobody knows for sure, other than to know it's gonna cost a couple trillion dollars) he can no long claim to be a fiscal conservative. Maybe "Wet Dog" would work -- we all know how they smell.

And that lefty mouthpiece head of the Madison County Democrats, T. Robert Hill, is still running his big mouth. Hill's definition of a "right-wing crackpot" is anybody who doesn't agree with his position. He doesn't seem to realize that he's talking down to a majority of the voters, if you look at Obama's trending poll numbers. I guess he's used to badgering people in his trial work--or maybe during the period of threats that avert the trials.

Look around. You lefty asshats are losing it. You have the totality of the government on your side, almost all the media, all the unions and lefty organizations pulling for you. And still you can't tell a big enough lie to the real American people to sell that bullshit. You can claim they're "organized" by the Republican Party (yeah, look at the hand-printed signs they carry at rallies, as opposed to those professionally letter signs toted by the union thugs and ACORN organized folks pushing the bullshit) and that they're Brownshirts and Nazis, but people are wise to you morally-impoverished thugs. The old folks especially have deserted that camp, because they don't want you people deciding who lives and who dies.

If you don't think Obama has, in an offhand way, discussed such a "death panel," check the excerpt below from the New York Times. There's a link to the entirety of the piece in last sentence.

(Discussing the cost of keeping an elderly person alive when terminally ill.)

Q: Yes, where it’s $20,000 for an extra week of life.

THE PRESIDENT: Exactly. And I just recently went through this. I mean, I’ve told this story, maybe not publicly, but when my grandmother got very ill during the campaign, she got cancer; it was determined to be terminal. And about two or three weeks after her diagnosis she fell, broke her hip. It was determined that she might have had a mild stroke, which is what had precipitated the fall.

So now she’s in the hospital, and the doctor says, Look, you’ve got about — maybe you have three months, maybe you have six months, maybe you have nine months to live. Because of the weakness of your heart, if you have an operation on your hip there are certain risks that — you know, your heart can’t take it. On the other hand, if you just sit there with your hip like this, you’re just going to waste away and your quality of life will be terrible.

And she elected to get the hip replacement and was fine for about two weeks after the hip replacement, and then suddenly just — you know, things fell apart.

I don’t know how much that hip replacement cost. I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement just because she’s my grandmother. Whether, sort of in the aggregate, society making those decisions to give my grandmother, or everybody else’s aging grandparents or parents, a hip replacement when they’re terminally ill is a sustainable model, is a very difficult question. If somebody told me that my grandmother couldn’t have a hip replacement and she had to lie there in misery in the waning days of her life — that would be pretty upsetting.

Q: And it’s going to be hard for people who don’t have the option of paying for it.

THE PRESIDENT: So that’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues. But that’s also a huge driver of cost, right?

I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here.

Q: So how do you — how do we deal with it?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It’s not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance. And that’s part of what I suspect you’ll see emerging out of the various health care conversations that are taking place on the Hill right now.

Course, Obama tried to lie his way around it by claiming that the AARP supports his health care proposal. The organization was quick to point out that wasn't true. Democrats just seem incapable of telling the truth for any extended period of time and constantly manipulate the facts to their advantage. And, galling enough, I notice one liberal professor/writer on Facebook commenting that he and his ilk "had a much better grasp of the facts" than did those in opposition. I suppose if you can make the "facts" whatever you deem them to be, then that might be the case.

One indisputable fact is that one of the biggest inflators of health care costs are malpractice lawsuits filed by lawyer types, I would assume Mr. Hill among them. These ambulance chasers will take on anything that shows promise of turning a few bucks from deep pockets. They even get on TV and plead for business. Disgusting.

Of course, the local West Tennessee media still throw all their support to the left-wing jerks. You can bet that WBBJ TV and The Jackson Sun will never give any sort of balanced coverage to anything. They're so far in the tank for Obama, and all of his cohorts, that's it's a joke to even watch them. They don't question anything, they just throw out the liberal garbage like it is the gospel truth.

Savage Democrat lies

Can you see the logic in this situation?

OK, it was perfectly fine for Democrats to spend 8 years calling Bush "Hitler" and any other nasty thing they can think of. But these Democrats are especially thin-skinned as the comments of attorney T. Robert Hill makes evident. Hill is resorting to the kind of tactics these facist creeps use when they have no valid answer for anything.

You're not supposed to question Obama or his Socalist plans, period. You're not allowed to expect the goons you have elected to do anything you want the to do unless it's what Obama wants.

Let's face it: John Tanner isn't much of a representative of us Tennesseans at this particular point. He's not as strong as someone like Pelosi and he won't really buck her. I suspect it will cost him his position in the long run, but he's more afraid of Pelosi and her thugs than he is the voters in his district.

As for Hill, I know nothing of the man other than being bombarded by his commercials on TV constantly. I would never hire anyone I consider an ambulance chaser to represent me whether or not he's effective, because I just don't like that kind of money grubbing asshole. In my book, they're walking pond scum.

Democrats are fearful of losing their death lock on your destiny. They will resort to anything to prevail in the end, believe that. They have some warped vision of America's destiny that doesn't align with that of most people who possess good sense. We can't let them destroy this great nation.

UPDATE

Time to check in again with a brief update on this rainy Thursday morning in the Mid-South. And the answer if no, I have not yet finished the book.

Fact is, I'm at about 44,000 words now and the story is still unwinding. I can see the ending from here (in fact, I have three separate conclusions in mind and not sure at the moment which is best), so progress has been made. But over the long haul a book begun as a 30K word project has wound itself into something that will wrap up somewhere just short of 50K. . .and I hope that is not a projection I have to come back and eat when it's at 92,000 words and climbing.

On the matter of "everything else," who could live in the Nanny States of America and not be disgusted by the way things are going? Well, obviously a lot of people who have shit for brains, the bunch that elected this fool we have president and those asshats and clowns that decorate the hallowed halls of Congress with supreme dumbass. Obama is trying to force all his outrageous and expensive programs down America's throat without time for proper review -- which is probably the savvy thing to do with things that can't stand scrutiny. Of course, when you have a brain trust composed of intellectual giants like Al Franken and Barney Fag, uh, Frank, why worry?

Disgusted doesn't come close to how I actually feel, so I won't bother to say it.

Just checking in....

Still alive, though barely this morning. Oh well, the reason for that is obvious to me so I can't complain.

I'm now up close to 30,000 words on the novella, which is of yet unnamed. I had supposed that the book would run about that length, however the story is not told completely at this point. So I will go forth until it is, which will likely run in the 35 - 40k range.

I intend to put the finished first draft aside for a few weeks, during which time I'll probably start on the next book. I already have a chunk of that written from a previous session a few years back. It was to be a short story and I never finished it, however I've decided to expand the idea into a longer form. It's a futuristic Sci-Fi story -- something else I've never written. After that, I plan to do a hard-boiled noir story and maybe a western. I simply want to write one of everything. Just for the hell of it.

Here we go again. . . .

I was browsing around this morning and ran across comments which I think address my April 14th post on the small press. Certainly, it's impossible to say anything about the SP, or poets or writers, without someone taking it the wrong way or taking offense.

I'm not going to go into a long thing here or address the person directly. I will only say that I've heard numerous people make that old "I write only for myself claim" but I had never noticed it from the person in question. Thus, my comment was not directed to him, though he obviously felt it was.

And too, I have never laid claim to being a writer of any great renown. I have noted a few times that I earned a living writing much of my life, something most "wannabes" can't claim, but that doesn't make me the arbiter of anything. I certainly don't consider myself any sort of success because of it either. Indeed, if sales of my few published books are any indication, I am anything but a resounding success.

The whole small press scene is full of these kinds of bullshit misunderstandings. That's another of many good reasons to steer clear of it.

Have I disappeared or died?

It would appear so, but in fact I've been busy and just haven't had time to devote to this site. That is unfortunate, since there is one hell of a lot to bitch about concerning the way things are going in this country. We're stuck with a president who gives new meaning to that old country saying, "useless as the tits on a boar hog."

But, I'm writing a new novella and I intend to dedicate my time to that presently. I try to write a minimum of 1,000 words a day, after starting with 500 as a goal for several weeks. I'm probably a bit beyond halfway through the rough draft at this point. Certainly, I write only a couple hours a day to reach that level of output, but I don't want to start dividing my attention by trying to keep a blog going at the same time. Once I have the initial draft finished, I'll let it sit and perk for a few weeks before beginning the first rewrite. During that time I plan to blog some here.

Unless I hit some unanticipated roadblock, I should be ready to blog some in a month at most. If you're interested in my drivel, check back from time to time. Like MacArthur, I shall return.

At least until I start another book.

Tea Parties being misrepresented by media, Hollywood leftists

The tea parties held April 15 have received a lot of negative attention from the mainstream media and Hollywood leftist types, who have gone out of their way to misrepresent what transpired. People who participated have been typified as raging redneck racists who were simply opposing Obama because he is black, the idea being that many normally wore sheets at their regular meetings. There were claims of oceans of rebel flags and posters depicting a target on someone's head...doesn't take much to figure who they imply.

Of course, that's all hogwash dreamed up by the left to further their views of the rest of us. At the tea party I attended, I didn't hear one mention of the name Obama. No doubt, many there like myself are upset with the socialist path he is taking our country down, but the protests weren't about Obama "the black man" at all. There was no racial component displayed, though some in the audience could have been racists. Race wasn't the purpose of the gathering.

I also saw no rebel flags. I wouldn't have been disturbed if I had, because the stars and bars to me is a sign of my Southern heritage and not a call to go back to slavery. In fact, I don't know anyone who sees that flag as a message to return to the ways of old. Just because a bunch of nitwits misunderstand the significance of the flag (as they misunderstand most everything else outside their constipated mindset), that doesn't change anything.

Truth is, protests and political activism have always been the domain of the left in this country. Many of them seem to think it's branded so that anyone of another political persuasion has no right to even use it. The mere idea that conservatives are becoming so fed up as to assemble and protest must scare the hell out of the lefties and pinkos, who have done so at a drop of the hat over the years. People taking over their forum--especially people with something to say as opposed to the vacuous nonsense that comes from the left--are a real threat to expose just how empty the promise of liberalism is.

Talk radio is a good example of what I speak. Ever wonder why conservative talk radio flourishes and liberal talk radio is a joke? It's very simple--liberals have few positions they can support with good old-fashioned logic. Thus, their mainstay is resorting to plain old ad hominem, forever the fall-back position of the left. Too much manure can kill even the stoutest weed.

It seems to me that this new movement in America must start from the bottom up to be successful. Many of the things that affect us most drastically at this time begin at the local and state levels. Our local governments have played "keeping up with the Joneses" for so many years that in hard times it's difficult to kick the spending habit. They have been sucked into many money throwaway programs by federal "grants" that have obligations attached long after the money is spent. It's amazing to me that many of these government officials don't see grants as taxpayers' money, but as manna from heaven. Open the heavens and let the pork rain down.

I wish all of this had happened 20 years ago, when I had the resources and the health to pursue it more vigorously. Time and a lifestyle not designed for optimum survivability have about used me up. Nonetheless, I don't plan to go gently into that dark socialist night. No, not at all.

Tea Party -- Huntingdon, TN April 15, 2009

I, along with a friend, attended a "Tea Party" in Huntingdon, Tennessee Wedneday, April 15. It was one of more than 800 reportedly held across the nation on Tax Day 2009, in all 50 states--or 57 states, if you believe a comment made by Obama back during the campaign. A crowd of perhaps 150-200 attended and all were well behaved and respectful. A number of signs were in display, a few of which are depicted in the video above.

I enjoyed much of the event, especially those parts displaying pride in our heritage and our nation. Four speakers addressed various parts of that and pointed out how the massive spending is bankrupting our future generations; if taxation without representation is a big part of the current movement as it was with the original, also playing a major role is the misuse of taxpayers' funds. The massive bail-out and spending bills got the once-over, with figures detailing just how outrageous Obama's budget is. And, it was noted that Tennessee's Eighth District Congressman, John Tanner (D) had supported all of Obama's spending spree and needs to go come election time next year. I have no problem getting behind that thought. Tanner needs to take that big pension and an extended cocktail hour and go relax somewhere.

One thing I found a bit troubling, as did my friend, was how one speaker labeled all those who pay no taxes at all as "freeloaders." In that number are many working poor who don't earn enough wages to pay taxes. I suspect that the attorney who made that comment was referring to those do-nothing types who elected Obama believing that he will take care of them--like the woman who thought he would fill her gas tank and take care of her mortgage payments. I'm sure he was referring to the chronic welfare cases, those legions who feel entitled to aid because, well, because they just do.

Whatever the reason, it's the kind of comment that the other side can effectively turn against folks who mean well. It sounds somewhat elitist coming from a man who is probably wealthy in relation to where most in the crowd stood economically. Certainly, emotion comes into play anytime people are discussing something as important as the future of our nation. But more care should be taken to avoid this kind of reference, because nothing good can come of it.

I'm not going to quote anything here. Those interested can view the video and get some idea of what was said. Apparently, the group that organized the event plans others across western Tennessee in the coming weeks and months.

Tax day Tea Parties and media unconcern

There are "Tea Parties" all over the land today, including here in Tennessee, but by the local media you'd never know it; they have that much in common with the national media. The Jackson Sun and WBBJ have ignored the Tea Parties occurring this afternoon in Huntingdon and Martin and other spots throughout western Tennessee, for the same reason the national media has virtually ignored those going on at more than 800 locations in all 50 states--because they are in Obama's pocket and will cover for him at all cost.

Speaking of the president, when asked after a speech this morning what he thought of the protests, he claimed he was "unaware" of them. That proves that he is both a liar and arrogant as hell. What he should have said was that he didn't give a damn what people protested, he was going to lead us down the socialistic path of total destruction and if we didn't like it we could kiss his black ass. That's what he was thinking.

The networks and newspapers thought nothing of sending crews blazing off to Texas when lefty crackpot Cindy Sheehan and a dozen nut cases went to protest Bush, but they can't be troubled with a real grass roots movement by real Americans spread across the nation. Oh well, we have come to expect that, because the MSM is no longer functional in this country. It's little wonder they are on their way down the tubes--and the sooner the Jackson Sun arrives there, the better.

I will be attending a Tea Party protest in Huntingdon at 5 this afternoon and plan to have a report and video posted sometime in the coming days. Of course, with the recent palaver coming out of Homeland Defense concerning the "dangers of right-wing extremist" (that has even been used to denote someone sporting a Ron Paul bumper sticker!), we may all wind up on some terrorist list. Leftist groups like ACORN can protest and harass people without fear of government reprisal, mainly because they are organized, funded and directed by people high in the government, clear up to the White House. But good America citizens who don't agree with the socialist madness befalling our nation at this time are a different matter.

The land of disenchantment

My disenchantment with the small press probably began in earnest around 2005, the last time I published an issue of my online 'zine. Things had sure as hell begun to deteriorate from that time in the seventies when I discovered that I could place my poems here and yonder and into the early eighties when I took on the task of publishing the work of others, carrying that over from print to the Internet.

It was all fun back in the beginning, meeting a lot of wild and crazy new people. There was a lot of intrigue involved in sticking a sheaf of poems into a large manila envelope and mailing it off, SASE included, wondering what the outcome would be. Would the editor love the work and inform you of yet another "ink score," or would that fat return envelope come back in rejection? Many times there was more of the latter than the former, but that did little to tarnish the appeal of the whole process.

The Internet, of course, changed the whole process a great deal. It certainly became easier to meet other poets and writers, or people who considered themselves that. And it became easier to get "published" as folks--many of whom had apparently never read a book in their life--threw up 'zines all over the Net. Anything resembling real talent apparently played very little part in the process, as cliques and circle-jerks formed everywhere. Always in evidence, even in the paper days, these circle-jerks have taken on such prominence now that true outsiders have little hope in penetrating them--although God knows, I don't know why anyone would want to in most cases.

Those who consider themselves writers have always had some degree of overextended ego, myself included. Why else would anyone think they are capable of writing something that others should read? Contrary to the claims of many, there is no one alive who "writes only for myself." You hear that jive continually, but the person saying it is only fooling himself.

All writers crave readers and all writers crave kudos, whether or not they are willing to admit it. As for some who profess to a love of "constructive criticism," that's usually valid only when the criticism is directed from a position of initial approval. Writers are either thin-skinned or dismissive, because nobody likes to receive negative criticism. That's just a fact.

Over the years, I've met hundreds--maybe thousands--of poets and writers. I like and respect a number you could count on the fingers of both hands. And out of those there are only a couple I can really relate to in areas beyond writing, because most are the kind of leftist, politically-correct souls that I would have nothing to do with were there not some other commonality involved.

In fact, I have broken off a number of relationships in recent years because of such bullshit. I am very close now to breaking off a poetic relationship of a quarter century because of a multitude of issues, politics being the least among them. Let's just say that "legend in my own mind" BS can rise to the point of being intolerable.

I have dropped out of the few poetry forums and sites I was involved with. The last incident came because I was tired of a no-talent whore and her bash Republican and the right videos and alleged poetry. Nobody was injecting politics from the other side into things, so why be an asshole and continue with that? It's that air of superiority some of those jerks display and at some point diminishing returns factors into being a part of the whole thing. I arrived at that point and bid them adieu and I'm none the worse for it.

Reality bites Obama's butt

Obama campaigned against all things George Bush, but after conning his way into the White House has apparently discovered that Bush was doing many of these things the right way. Why else would he be continuing with the wiretaps and secret programs and such and arguing his right to that privilege?

Let's face it: liberals and the Left have been punked. They bought one thing and got another--the exact opposite of what they thought they were buying. They are beginning to whimper and whine in some quarters too, as the depth of their gullibility slowly starts to smother them under the weight of reality. Certainly, reality is something many of them are unfamiliar with. One doesn't become well acquainted with reality by continuing to ignore facts that don't jibe with a pre-arranged agenda, as most of them do.

Obama was all against these terror-related wiretaps and surveillance and the secrecy surrounding them when he was running for office. They were evil deeds with no place in a free society. Human rights and all that jive, you understand.

Reality has a way of trumping some "principles," especially when those principles are misguided. And, very frequently, it is the godfather of hypocrisy, as Obama has no doubt discovered. Not only does Obama intend to continue Bush's policy on wiretaps and surveillance of suspected terrorists, according to some reports he intends to expand it beyond the objects of terrorism to include all of us. I'm not certain how true that is, but undoubtedly we will know the facts about it soon.

Liberty? What liberty?

The left threw a hissy fit over Bush's use of wiretaps aimed at terrorists, but now Obama is simply directing his spying against plain old American citizens without too much of a problem from the tinfoil hat side. All those dumb-ass liberals who whined and whimpered about GWB taking our freedom don't seem to have a problem with losing many more freedoms so long as the taker is this new goon we have in the White house.

Face it, folks. We are done for. Obama and his crew of henchmen are going to shred every liberty we have. Under his rule (yes, rule, not leadership), the Constitution will become a meaningless piece of parchment; the courts have been whittling away at it for years and now Obama will finish it off. When that happens, I hope you ignorant sons of bitches and whores who elected this disaster are happy. None of the rest of us will be.

TV changes in Obama era

If you're a fan of the Fox Network's "24" as I am, you may have noticed something different this year. Islamic extremists are no longer the major bad boys out to do in the American way of life, having been replaced by a corrupt American security contractor outfit with ties to all sorts of evil African wannabe dictators and homegrown fascists, in addition to a number corrupt US government officials.

Obviously, the bad guys are modeled the big contractors or private security outfits that have gained some notoriety in Iraq during the war, firms like KBR and Blackwater. They have garnered some bad press over the years for a shoot-em-up mentality that has allegedly caused the unnecessary deaths of a number of Iraqi civilians. In fact, currently the Iraq government is in the process of trying to force those private contractors out of the country.

Of course, the change in the thrust of the television series can most likely be attributed to the election of Obama and the leftward swing that signifies; when a guy sports the middle name "Hussein" those network folks--even at Fox--don't want to imply that there's anything wrong with Muslims. And since the "War on Terror" has ceased to exist (at least that term) since the election, the producers apparently figured it was best to steer clear of the Muslim menace.

So, Americans become the major bad boys in this round of "24." That's to be expected, since Obama has announced to Europe, in so many words, that America has not been the nicest player in the game. It seems that most of the problems in the world are our fault.

I've never missed an episode of the show since its inception some years ago. It's the most intense hour of television you are apt to encounter, even if the premise is ridiculous and the main character is a one-dimensional psychopath who kills with the greatest of easy--and, I might add, early and often.

I plan to finish this year, but if the same theme is carried into next season, 24 and I will probably part company. Fact is, after seven seasons the show is beginning to wear a little thin and the watered-down story lines like the current one don't do a lot to enhance things.

WHO DOES OBAMA THINK HE IS, THE DIXIE CHICKS?

A while back, I wondered if Barack Obama thought he was Donald Trump, as he was firing people in the private sector. Now, with his anti-American comments in France, I have to wonder if the Head of State has suddenly transformed into the Dixie Chicks.

This guy doesn't have a clue. He's over there talking about America's past faults in dealing with Europe, our arrogance and divisiveness, and our failure to honor Europe's "world leadership" role. What leadership? Any time they get in a jam, they expect someone else (America) to pull their lousy fat out of the fire.

What's pathetic is, this ignorant goon went over there and talked down his own nation solely for the purpose of gaining some support from Europe, some help with troops for Afghanistan, and that didn't happen. Sure, some of them will throw in a few "trainers" and such, but real combat they avoid like a plague--and why shouldn't they, since they've got America to do it for them?

I haven't noticed the news media--not even Fox--reporting on the people picketing and toting "Obama go home" signs. That wouldn't do because it doesn't fit the scenario of what was supposed to happen when Obama became president. You remember: the rest of the world would suddenly love and respect America, since they hated us only because of that callous, swaggering Texas cowboy, Bush.

You should look around and take a good look at the America you have known and loved all your live. Burn those images into your mind.

It's going to look a whole hell of a lot different very soon. And not for the better.

THE OBAMAS DAZZLE EUROPE

The Obamas are in Europe now, attending the G20 conference and showing their astounding lack of class--an Ipod for the queen? Christ, that's even a descent from the 25 American classic DVD collection Obama gave Gordon Brown during his visit to America. And, to add insult to injury, the DVDs would not play on devices in Brown's zone.

I suppose the queen was lucky--apparently, the White House gift shop was out of plastic helicopters. And Her Majesty sure hasn't been manhandled in such a fashion as that administered by The One and his Bride of Frankenstein in some time; at least not since old Prince Phil last felt his oats some years ago.

Another headline that gagged me was something to the effect of the coming together of class when Michelle and Sarky's old lady, Carla Bruni, meet up. Let's face it: Michelle Obama is to Bruni as river bank mud is to a wreath of roses.

Contrary to all the swooning and hype in the media, you could put a $100,000 dress on Michelle and she'd still look ugly as a mud rail fence. I'm not sure the best plastic surgery could cure the bulldog appearance brought on by that jutting bottom jaw. She's simply unattractive, and anyone who says otherwise is either "vision deficient" (to maintain political correctness, as "blind" is now unacceptable) or a hysterical leftist dumb-ass.

I know. That sounds like pure ad hominem. But very frequently, the truth sounds that way. The truth must necessarily avoid sounding pleasant merely for the purpose of being pleasant. People do that all the time and it's calling lying.

The new tobacco taxes went into effect yesterday. If you'll recall, Obama said during the campaign that people who earned less than $250,000 a year would have NO tax increases of any kind, period. Most smokers fall into that category, so what does that mean?

It means that Obama is a lying son of a bitch. Surprise, surprise. And wait until the utility companies begin passing along the costs of all the "green" bullshit to be laid upon them by this phony prick and his lefty cohorts. The tobacco tax may pale in comparison.

What would you do if you were almost flat ass broke, your credit cards maxed out to the limit? Why, the answer to that is simple: you spend your way out of it! Sooner or later, if you spend enough, you will get your personal economic situation back to normal, or even improve it.

Sounds crazy, doesn't it? It is crazy.

And it's what our government is doing.

Good luck with that.

WHO DOES OBAMA THINK HE IS, DONALD TRUMP?

You'd better watch your step, else Barack Obama might fire you. Don't work for him, you say? Neither did GM CEO Rick Wagoner, but that didn't stop him from being fired.

Apparently, Obama thinks he's Donald Trump. He does seem about as arrogant as old Weird Hair Dude, if not as rich. Obama fired the head of General Motors and Trump fires Dennis Rodman. The "fire-ees" are not exactly two peas in a pod--unless Wagoner is partial to cranberry and vodka and gets real obnoxious after a few glasses.

It's spooky as hell when the government begins firing the heads of private industries, whether or not the industries have been propped up with federal funding (read that taxpayer dollars). If this situation doesn't strike you as odd, then there is something wrong with your thinking.

GM and Chrysler--and all those other companies in financial dire straits--should have been allowed to go bankrupt. That's the way it works in a free capitalist society. They could have then filed for protection and restructuring, which would force some concessions from unions and other elements that are driving costs. And, while they were at it, maybe they could figure out a way to make cars good enough that people would buy them, which is at the root of their problem. The Japanese manufacturers make cars about twice as good at about half the costs. Therein lies the problem.

Propped up by the taxpayers, these companies can continue paying exorbitant wages and outlandish retirement benefit packages ad infinitum. That can only bring economic disaster.

THE HEAD IGNORAMUS

It's amazing that I can say Obama is an idiot with a straight face and mean it. Who else but an idiot would do some of the things he's done recently? Surely not GWB, who was knocked by the media constantly for using bad grammar and such. Bush may have gotten a whole lot more media scrutiny for his minor lapses than Obama has for ones much more serious, but he couldn't hold a candle to "The One" when it comes to screwing up.

In his latest piece of stupidity, Obama sent a letter to former French President Jacques Chirac stating his intent to work closely with "The Worm" for the good of humanity. Of course, this must have pissed off the REAL French president, Sarkozy, who has to try to deal with this American nitwit.

And then, on CBS 60 Minutes last night, Obama laughed it up in an interview with Steve Kroft while discussing the disastrous economic situation. Kroft seemed somewhat amazed at the President's demeanor and asked him if he was "punch drunk." Obama responded that in the face of such a situation, a little "gallows humor" was appropriate. Sez who???

There are just a couple of recent incidents that point to what a terrible mistake American voters have made in electing this dunce. The man knows nothing about governing a nation and apparently has no intention to learn either.

I daresay I would seldom agree with anything offered by Huge Chavez, the nutty Socialist leader of Venezuela. The Latino crackpot is smart enough to know that Obama is "an ignoramus" and called him one, however, which means he's not all dumb.

Probably the only people more "ignoramus" are those who elected this sucker.

Can one man destroy America?

Prior to the last month, my answer to that would have been a resounding NO. After all, America has survived the efforts of some less-than-spectacular people in power. We lived through the dishonest antics of William Jefferson Clinton, whose testosterone level and propensity to lie had us staggering on the ropes a couple of times. The incompetent and petty Mr. Peanut, Jimmy Carter, could not bring the nation down, even if he did at times (see "Iran rescue mission") make us a laughing stock. A deceitful Richard M. Nixon carried us to the brink of breaking the helm of Ship of State with his "I am not a crook" protestations, when he was, indeed, a crook.

Perhaps the examples noted above (and they are a few of many) did not succeed simply because they had no desire to wreck America. I am not sure the same thing can be said for Barack Hussein Obama. It is almost inconceivable that Obama could by mere accident make so many drastic mistakes in less than than two months in office, even considering the terrible quality of people with whom he has surrounded himself. His every word, every new doubtful appointment, every mutter of "crisis and catastrophe" seem designed to bring America to its knees.

Being among those who did not expect Obama to function well at the helm of state, I am not surprised in one sense; how can one expect a man with absolutely no experience for the job to do well? The job is bigger than most men. In the case of Obama, it is a Mt. Everest of complexity looming over a man with the sensibilities of a "community organizer" --in short, an agitator. Why would he know what to do, even if he wanted the nation to survive as is?

I think Obama's dream for America is somewhat beyond that which most of us dream for our nation. I believe Obama wants to turn America into a land where everyone is entitled to the same standard of living, irrespective of effort or contribution. In short, he wants to take from those who have and give to those who do not have -- regardless of whether or not the latter make any valid attempt on their own to "have," say, by working for it.

And of course, the only way to do that in our capital-driven society is to break the whole thing down and then rebuilt it in a Socialist mode. Break the market, break the rich people, bring depression upon the land. And then, with virtually worthless newly minted money and vague promises, let the government (ergo, Obama) become the savior of all -- but on such a limited basis that those saved in many cases will wonder at the value of salvation.

He has a damned good start at it. It now looks as if Obama's latest pork-laden bill will pass in the Senate, with the help of a few rotten Republicans, including Tennessee's own Lamar Alexander. I broke ranks with that bottom feeder a few years ago when he fought so hard in an effort to establish taxes on the Internet, and let him know it in an email. He responded with the kind of meaningless rhetoric you can expect from someone too long in a position to which he feels entitled.

With the exception of a few lefties now suffering the first pangs of buyer's remorse, don't expect to read or hear too much negative comment in the mass media concerning Obama's failures and shortcomings. They will make excuses for him at every turn, blaming it all on the past actions of Bush; indeed, some Democrats have recently tried to pin the whole problem on Reagan, if you can believe that! I suppose he planned it all before he left office 20 years ago.

My best advice at this point is simple: have some ready cash where you can lay hands on it, have at least a month's supply of nonperishable food and water, and have sufficient ammo for your firearms. The latter may be a bit hard to obtain, as some places are selling out almost as fast as they get supplies in.

If the economy goes completely south, all those hungry folks in the inner cities are going to start looking for something to eat and where better to find it than out in the rural areas, where people actually work and produce things and think ahead. It's wise to be ready to protect what you have from those who aren't prepared and have no qualms about killing you to get their way.

McKenzie at it again

I was out at E. W. James Supermarket this afternoon when I noticed two city employees and a small city pickup picking up trash alongside this store's parking lot, all the way up to the store. Unless the law has changed since I was involved in reporting, such work by taxpayer-funded personnel for the benefit of any private citizen or business is illegal.

I suppose, however, it helps when the mayor is the brother of the man who manages the store. In years past, the local media would report on such things and helped keep them under control. Apparently, that's no longer the policy, so those willing to bend the law to their favor have a free hand. To say that's unfortunate would be an understatement, because there are always scumbags willing to take advantage of every situation afforded them.

McCain, the old mealy-mouthed jerk

I didn't want to vote for that old mush-mouth son of a bitch when I did, but comments like this make certain that I made a big mistake by doing so. John McCain is a weak person, perfectly satisfied to kiss every Democrat butt he finds within reach of his lying lips, especially that of the ABC dwarf, Stephosuckavich.

And another thing, his earlier verbal attack on Don Rumsfeld was uncalled for. I'd trust Rummy in a bad situation before I would that wishy-washy old SOB. His slight of Palin today didn't go unnoticed either, though he tried to couch it. I hope somebody beats that old bastard when he runs for senate again, though they likely won't.

To Powell: STFU!

Should we give much of a damn what Colin Powell thinks? I don't think so. Powell should understand that Obama was elected because a lot of WHITE people voted for him; it was a foregone conclusion that he'd get most of the black votes, but those alone have never gotten anybody elected to office -- except in gerrymandered districts designed to make sure a minority wins (like Ward 1 in McKenzie).

What Powell should do is switch to the Democratic Party, because he sure as hell is no Republican. It would be a stretch to brand him a RINO. He wasn't much of a general either far as I can tell.

Whoa

Are these the types you want to see ruling your world? No, I didn't think so.

These control freak assholes need to go and in a hurry. What's this world coming to?

Piracy...another sign of our weakening resolve

Back in the olden days, the navies of the world knew how to deal with pirates. They boarded their ships, killed as many as was necessary and hung the rest. Pirates finally came to the conclusion that, as the old song goes, "sometimes the pleasure ain't worth the pain" and that business more or less ceased to exist.

It's flourishing again nowadays, especially in the Indian Ocean area around Somalia. The pirates are taking ships one after another and getting big ransoms for return of ship and crew. They recently took a Saudi oil tanker with two million barrels of oil and are asking for $100 million ransom. Meanwhile--except for an instance where an Indian naval vessel sunk a mother ship--the navies (including the American navy) sit on their asses and do nothing.

Piracy is flourishing in that region because it's working. Give in to ransom demands and you're setting the stage for a continuing--and worsening--problem. The solution to all this is to take names and kick asses. Board the ships, kill the pirates. Hang those that manage to survive, though if I were running the operation there wouldn't be any survivors to deal with.

Sure, there are hostages and some of them will die in the process. "Innocent" people die all the time in situations that call for excessive force. Lots of innocent bystanders died in Dresden and Hiroshima, and many other places. But the actions taken in those instances were necessary to bring down a greater evil.

The fact is, we've somehow transformed ourselves into impotent and politically-correct fools. The weakest among us have somehow managed to gain control of the moral reins of America; not to say that we don't have brave men who fight on foreign soil, what I'm talking about is the "social conscience" of our land. The pussies who direct that now can't stand to think of a fish being slaughtered and eaten, let alone someone hurt in an action designed to return some degree of civility and safety to the high seas.

I hate the way things are going in the country, and in this world. There was a time when I was proud to call myself a journalist. I wouldn't be proud today if I were still in that line of work. And there was a time I was proud to call myself a sailor in the United States Navy. If this military paralysis continues, I'm not sure that will be the case henceforth.

Woe is us

America seems to be entering a dark age -- no pun intended. Our economy is crumbling in a way not seen since the beginning of the Great Depression 80 years ago. Our citizens are divided in a way never before experienced and to a degree that makes resolution seem impossible. Manufacturing industries and states are screaming for bail-out money as they begin to follow the financial institutions down the hollow well of destruction. The Big Three auto makers are on the verge of extinction and indeed, without taxpayer help, are probably doomed.

How did we get in this shape and who is responsible? Everybody, more or less. Big business awards its leaders with salaries and bonuses that are not sustainable. Unions demand more money and benefits than can be sustained over the long haul. The federal government makes it easy for people who can't afford homes to buy them. Government on all levels wastes money hand over fist in any number of ways, from idiotic programs like the War on Drugs to studying the sex life of grasshoppers. And we elected these self-important fools who do us in time and time again.

I'm not trained as an economist (or much of anything else), thus I have no solution. The bad thing is, even those trained to know such things seem to have few clues either. As with most situations, it's easier to get into a jam than get out and this current economic situation is a splendid example of that truth. It's hard to "unjump" off the cliff once your body is floating in free air. Indeed, going back to where you began is sometimes impossible.

One thing I do know -- the least government interference in private industry the better. By that measure, I would say it is far preferable, under normal circumstances, to let companies fail when they cannot carry their own load. Then we come to a big but. These are not normal times and allowing the American auto industry to go down the drain could very well pull the rest of the economy with it. You have to consider all the appurtenant supplier industries and the impact down the line, as the estimates are about 3 million lost jobs and $400 billion of lost income over three years.

Let's face it: Detroit has been building substandard cars for years. They are big and wasteful and very frequently of poor quality. That's one reason why the Japanese managed to jump in and gain the worldwide lead on the Big Three back in the eighties, because their quality standards are higher and their manufacturing costs are lower. Fortunately, the foreign auto companies build some of their vehicles in America, so we will still have some degree of that industry should the Big Three go down the tubes.

I'm not sure, from my limited knowledge of the overall situation, just how much good it would do to pump billions of dollars directly to the auto manufacturers. Certainly they are losing money hand over fist, building vehicles that can't be moved off storage and sales lots. But you have to look at the reason for that -- credit is locked down to the point that people wishing to buy vehicles can't get loans. Throwing the dollars to the Big Three might help resolve, at least temporarily, their capital problems, but it won't do anything to loosen up credit on the consumer end.

One thing I'm certain of: if a big handout is given the auto industry, that should not be done without some concessions from unions on wages and benefits. Also included in concessions should be the upper echelon of executives in the auto companies, people who draw salaries and bonuses that are obscene in extravagance. That may be okay when they're operating on THEIR money, but not when they're operating on OURS.

Of course, the major genesis of all these problems can be traced back to the collapse of the housing industry and lending establishments connected with that. Somewhere along the way, the idea that every American has a birthright to own a home came into existence; no matter if they had sufficient funds to pay for it or not. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, spurred on by Democrats who insisted that certain minorities were being denied equal housing, began backing mortgages from all sorts of folk who didn't have a prayer of ever meeting the obligations. They bundled those mortgages up and sold them to other financial institutions -- which are now folding as unqualified home buyers default one after another.

I don't have a clue how all this will work out. I do suspect that once Obama gets in office, we're going to see money spent like we've never seen it spent before; and really, he's going to have to work some at that to beat Bush, who has spent a lot of money for a "conservative" Republican. Course, when the Dems talk about Bush's spending, they always have the cost of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan added in with the figures, which is not exactly fair. That's money well spent and probably would have happened no matter who was president.

It would have been hard for even Al Gore to weasel out of that, in the wake of 9-11, though Lord knows he would have tried.

Glimpse of sunshine in bleak economic night

I thought this was amusing. Anybody who would throw in their lot with that asshole deserves it. Long may he fail.

I can hear Otis Redding tuning up....

We're hearing a lot from leftist and Democrats that Obama must be "respected" because he's president, whether or not we voted for him. No doubt, most of those mouthing such jive are the same birds who don't find a pressing need for respect of the office as long as it's occupied by George W. Bush, referring to him as a Chimpy McBush or BusHitler. Criticizing even the way he walks, for Christ's sake.

Respect must be earned. It doesn't automatically come with office or position and mouthing a double standard doesn't change that.

I would submit that respect for Obama is probably at its zenith right now, as the mislead and misguided who elected him gloat and glow and smirk -- that's especially true of the fawning media types who no doubt are now suffering thigh tingles and goose bumps that could require medical treatment to still. In a few months, after he has been in action for a while, that respect will likely melt away a like a spring snow.

If Obama could accomplish everything he has promised, he'd be wearing a red cape and running out of phone booths, instead of preparing to redecorate the Oval Office. But of course voters have short memories and besides, they are used to politicians lying and making promises they can't keep. And it helps when most of these promises are ripped down from the victory's web site shortly after the victory, leaving some to wonder, now just what was it he said he'd do?

They will find out soon enough. And many will find it very unpleasant. I will no doubt be among them.

Not a good night

And that's putting it mildly. The majority of Americans may now be reveling in Obama's victory, but I suspect that will change in the coming months as the reality of this unknown man becomes known. I suspect we'll wind up in the proverbial "world of shit" and if so, that's exactly what we deserve.

McCain was a little too conciliatory in his concession speech, in fact more or less kissed Obama's ass. I understand the idea that this is a "historical moment" in American history, in that a black man has been elected president -- and in some cases perhaps by people who voted more than once, including the black man in Philadelphia shown in this video. (There were also problems in Philly with Black Panthers scaring voters away from some precincts.) Whether or not that proves to be a wise choice is yet to be seen, however, and McCain's unwavering support for the man who beat him may prove to be misplaced.

In any case, some Americans have a new president tonight. I don't.

Let's hope he's right....

(”Obama,” Thomas Sowell recently observed, “has the kind of cocksure confidence that can only be achieved by not achieving anything else.”)

Let's hope the writer of this piece is correct in his beliefs. I'm not totally sure he isn't, yet I feel a little skeptical at this point. We won't have long to wait to find out now.

All over but the shouting, according to leftist networks

CBS Sunday Morning is doing its last-minute Obama campaigning this morning. They did a piece on money spent by both presidential candidates this year. They mentioned that McCain had taken public financing and noted that Obama had raised twice as much -- however neglected to add that Obama had also agreed to take public money and then changed his mind. Now they have Jeff Greenfield giving his impression of what states each candidate will take, implying an edge to Obama as might be expected. I guess they think they can influence people's vote this way; if we're that stupid, then maybe we deserve Obama.

I'm so battered by election bullshit at this point that I just want it to be over, no matter who wins. I've heard so many lies I'm not sure I'll ever know what the truth is again. According to ads run by one Democrat state senator candidate in western Tennessee, his female opponent is against controlling meth, against help for the elderly and children, against health care and also voted herself a big raise--by herself, apparently. I really don't know anything about her, but I'd bet most of this is bullshit because nobody in their right mind would take such positions.

Over on ABC with George "The Dwarf" Stephanopoulos, much the same as was earlier witnessed on CBS is going on. The lopsided panel (George Will the only so-called conservative, and not much of one at that) has more or less given the election to Obama at this point. Perhaps McCain should just call it right now, pitch in the towel, maybe even offer to escort Obama to the inauguration as some sort of hand servant.

Sickening isn't really the word for it, it goes much beyond that. Even if Obama has it wrapped up at this point -- and he may well have -- to have that fact pounded down our throats by these gloating liberal assholes is almost beyond bearing. One can only imagine what the next four, or eight, years will bring.

Speaking of such, I note that the "New Black Panther Party" has ejected itself into the doings in Crockett County, where the young wannabe skinhead was recently arrested for plotting to kill a large number of black students and Obama. The black racists showed up in that rural area dressed in their wannabe military outfits, apparently in hopes of stirring up some real trouble. If they hang around long enough, I'm sure they will.

Let's face it -- the Panthers are the same kind of scum that the skinheads and Nazis are, although they get much better treatment from the liberal media. Apparently, black haters don't count if you look at places like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is probably the premier lefty site for sure monitoring of hate groups. I couldn't find any black hate groups listed on their map, although in fairness I didn't check all 50 states. I'd be mighty surprised if they listed any at all, since those suffering from such a degree of white liberal guilt can't conceive that anything a black might do, in light of their history of oppression, could be beyond the bounds of propriety.

Horseshit

Obama didn't know his aunt was in the US illegally? Yeah, and I don't know this beer I'm drinking will intoxicate me.

Not only is she in the US illegally, and gave money to his campaign illegally, but she's also gaining the benefit of public housing. My God, can you imagine what will happen if Obama gains control? It will be a nightmare.

Pure fucking gall!

The TVA board on Thursday agreed to increase President and CEO Tom Kilgore's bonus-driven compensation package next year from a potential $2.7 million to $3.27 million. The decision comes just weeks after TVA put into effect its largest electric rate hike in three decades.

Our electric rates increase by 20-percent so this greedy son of a bitch can get a half million dollar raise? This is what's wrong with America. Such greedy bastards should be lynched from the nearest lamp post.

Something worth reading

Someone sent me the below today, I thought it was worth repeating:

Why I Carry a Gun

PEOPLE ASK WHY??

My old grandpa said to me son,' there comes a time in every man's life

when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's

when he becomes too old to take an ass whuppin'.

I don't carry a gun to kill people.

I carry a gun to keep from being killed.



I don't carry a gun to scare people.

I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.



I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.

I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.



I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.

I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the

world.



I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.

I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.



I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.

I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating

myself for failing to be prepared.



I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.

I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and

not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.



I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.

I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a

cowboy.



I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.

I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the

ones they love.



I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.

I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am

inadequate.



I don't carry a gun because I love it.

I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful

to me.



Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves.

Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the

crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.



Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to

take an ass whuppin'.



..author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

Checking in....

I haven't posted much lately and probably won't for a while. It's been a rough past couple of weeks, for reasons I don't intend to get into here, but eventually things will level out. Anyway, I went and cast my vote today (and paid county property taxes while I was at it), so I'm good for another year if I last that long. That's up for debate.

What the future might hold

Less than two weeks and what seems like an eternal run for president will be wound up. No doubt, the day after the election some dumb-ass will begin another campaign, though it will probably take a year or so before the media gets back into it full blast; that will probably depend upon whether or not the first "unannounced" candidate is a Republican or Democrat, a fact that will define the media's position as it has in this latest contest. We've never had a completely fair and impartial media in this country, but after this latest debacle that notion should be shoved down the rabbit hole never to return.

I don't have a clue who's going to win November 4. Certainly the MSM continues to tell us Obama has it in the bag, but then that's to their advantage. They want Obama to win and they have worked very hard to assure that will be the case. The more conservatives they can convince to skip voting with their doomsday predications the more it serves their warped purpose. Many of these people have an evil streak and they are becoming less and less concerned about who knows it. Hateful doesn't even begin to explain how rotten they are.

I haven't voted yet, but I'll be doing that in the coming week, while early voting is still in effect. I'm not a big John McCain fan, never have been, but I'll cast my ballot for him as the lesser of two evils. WAY lesser, for that matter. I truly believe that the election of Barack Obama will lead, if not to the downfall of America, at least to downfall of life as we have known it.

Obama will silence his critics with the Fairness Doctrine. He will grind away at the Second Amendment until the right to bear arms is gone. His share-the-wealth socialist bullshit, along with higher taxes necessary to fund it, will destroy all incentive for big capitalist companies to create more jobs; fact is, rich people pay most of the taxes now. The idea that he can "cut taxes for 95-percent of America's middle class" is total hogwash -- almost a third of the people pay NO taxes now, so his plan amounts to a Robin Hood giveaway.

I don't have a problem with giving a hand to the working poor, those who are trying to better themselves. I see nothing wrong with helping those disabled and unable to care for themselves. It's the humane and, dare I say, Christian thing to do. I mean REAL Christian, not the kind of malignant crap Obama sat and listened to for 20 years emanating from the mouth of that scum bucket so-called preacher, Jeremiah Wright.

I do have a problem doling out money to welfare cheats, no matter what their race or color. There are those who tell you that more whites than blacks are on welfare and that is true. But then, if you figure the percentage of both in society, a much larger proportion of blacks are on the dole. In the case of all races, some deserve the help and many don't.

Of course, blacks have a sense of entitlement that other races don't have. I don't think that will ever change, it seems to be bred into them. And if not, they learn it at an early age, learn all about the evils of slavery that brought their distant ancestors here against their will.

They seem to yearn for the Dark Continent somewhere deep in their souls -- without realizing that most of Africa is the kind of shit hole you wouldn't inflict on your worst enemy. Slavery is still practiced in parts of that Grand Paradise. Hell, back when their ancestors were snatched up and sold by other blacks, they were damned lucky not to end up in a cooking pot.

Today, they could be living under the humane auspices of someone like Robert Mugabe -- a real symbol of freedom and prosperity. Well, HE'S free and prosperous anyway, even if many of his subjects are either starving or being hacked to death by machetes wielded by his glorious troops.

Something to long for, something to miss, eh? Yeah, like a Jew should miss and long for the ovens at Auschwitz and the stench of gray smoke climbing the cold sky.

Does anyone really believe that electing a black president will do anything to assuage the racial hatred of whites by blacks? Would such an act be viewed as, well finally we're getting the kind of respect we're due, or would it be, OK, now we get even?

I fear the latter may be the case. One can already see hints of it on posting boards and forums, the glee of hateful blacks anticipating a chance to hit back at Honky Whitey, to even the score for what is perceived as centuries of mistreatment and denial. They don't bother to explain how any real power will be transferred to such coarse and vengeful folk, perhaps assuming only that with a black president in command, they won't have to pay much for their misdeeds.

Let me put forth a real scary proposition: what do you think will happen if Obama LOSES this election? The social possibilities of that haven't been explored much publicly, because the media are so in the bag for Obama that such a possibility can't even be raised. But if you look at the history of black-instigated riots in this country, from Watts to Detroit to Memphis and many other places, it's a thought that doesn't instill much ease in one's mind.

In past riots, blacks have basically destroyed their own neighborhoods; I've always wondered what kind of mentality it takes to burn your own neighborhood while hating the rest of the outside world. It seems sort of counter-productive, doesn't it?

But should Obama lose, we will begin hearing "stolen election" again, just as we did when Bush beat both Gore and Kerry. Never mind that corrupt leftist groups like ACORN are allegedly putting forth the kind of fraudulent voter registration aimed at having Obama steal the election and apparently getting away with it, as all the Bush-haters in the Justice Department are sitting on their fat asses doing nothing about it. If McCain was implicated in anything similar, I'd bet the RICO indictments would already be flying and asses would be getting ready for government sponsored three-a-days and a lumpy fartsack for several years.

Well, there's nothing we can do at this point by go to the polls and vote for the best man. I would also advise checking the ammo supply and if it's low, get to the store while you still can and stock up.

A day may be coming when that won't be possible. But of course, by that point America won't be America anyway, so not a lot will be lost.

A Democrat with some sense

Too bad we don't see more evidence of Democrats like this fellow, who is completely realistic and truthful. He knows who caused the housing crisis and crash and who has been blamed unfairly by a media that is so in the tank for the left that there's no turning back.

MT QUESTION IS...

When did they pull her out from under the bus???

POWELL ENDORSES OBAMA -- SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

Is anybody surprised that Colin Powell is backing Barack Obama? I'm not, and I don't understand how anyone else could be. That writing has been on the wall from the start.

Powell says it's not about race, but let's get real: such a move is all about race. Fact is, a prominent black man like himself (not the "respected Republican" as he is identified as in this article) would find it difficult to survive in a world where he supported a white man over a black man. He'd find his invitations to all those black-only (and liberal white) events way down to nothing and he'd have no say at all in an Obama administration. He would be constantly chastised not only by the black community, but also by all those guilt-ridden liberal whites who feel responsible for slavery.

Powell has always been more of a RINO than a "respected Republican" anyway. His bad advice was one of the main reasons America didn't finish the job against Saddam during the first Gulf War. And I'd never trust a military man who had so many reservations about the Second Amendment and the right of citizens to bear arms. Powell was also a less-than-impressive secretary of state. I don't see a lot to recommend the man.

I don't believe Powell's endorsement will have much bearing on the race. People who are for Obama are, and those who are opposed are opposed. At this late date, the small number of fence-sitters aren't apt to hop one way or another because a black man endorses another black man--especially in a situation in which you would expect him to do just that.

It's all too predictable to be significant, that's for damned sure.

More Oscuma vandalism locally

Apparently, the Shitsack Oscuma vandals are busy all over Carroll County. The picture at left is a sign made by a Huntingdon man who also had a McCain--Palin sign stolen from his yard. It all goes to show the character of people who support the wannabe commie who is running for POTUS on the disguised Socialists Party ticket.

I've been thinking of all sorts of ways to booby-trap a sign, involving pits of paint, or tar, as one fellow suggested. I even thought of hooking the hot side of an extension cord to it, but then that might prove fatal to the idiot who grabbed hold of the metal framework; They probably need to die, but I damned sure don't wanna get charged with murder for removing such scum from society. The cops might laugh it off when someone commits a crime like this against you, but bet your ass they would go out of their way to prosecute anyone who harmed the shitheads responsible.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES....

Watching the final presidential debate last night, it dawned on me that John McCain has missed so many opportunities to nail Barack Obama during this election campaign. McCain picked up the pace a bit last night, but he didn't launch the kind of attack against Obama's proposals, or associations, that he could have.

Mistakes like McCain's refusal to bring comment about the rotten Obama pastor, Jeremiah Wright, into the mix may wind up costing him dearly come November 4. Things like not delving deeper into Obama's friendship with Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers might do the same. Barely skimming the topic of ACORN, the corrupt lefty community service outfit, might do likewise.

Of course, with the media so far in the bag for Obama, it might not make any difference to those who failed to view the debate for themselves. As with every other debate this year, the MSM rushed to announce Obama as winner. Most of the coverage will promote Obama's comments and ignore most of McCain's, at least the ones that made good points.

And Obama can sit there and tell an outright lie and get away with it--I should say a "demonstrable" lie, because he tells so many lies that aren't immediately refutable without some research. But last night while addressing the nasty tenor of McCain's campaign, he commented about a Palin appearance in Pennsylvania where someone in the audience yelled "kill him" when Obama's name was mentioned.

According to the Secret Service, that never happened. The agency interviewed more than 20 people and could find no one who heard that comment, other than the reporter who wrote about it. Obviously, it's another case of a biased reporter trying to smear the McCain-Palin side and, for all intents and purposes, getting away with it. Nothing unusual about that because it's happened from jump.

Obama seems able to just shrug things off and get away with them without adequate explanation. Ayers is just some guy he knew in Chicago, a law professor, who did some bad things when Obama was 8 years old, like blowing up government buildings and fomenting revolution. McCain didn't even mention that as late as 2001, the good law professor expressed regrets that he had not done more of those evil deeds. He did mention that Obama's political life began in Ayer's Chicago living room, however Obama denied that and nothing further was made of it--although it has been reported time and again as fact.

ACORN is just an outfit he had little dealings with, to hear him tell it (another lie). His campaign gave $800,000 to the group, which Obama also help form years ago in Chicago. ACORN is under investigation in about a dozen states currently for corrupt voter registration work--one young black man has already admitted to registering 83 times under different names, though he didn't realize he was doing anything wrong. Sure he didn't. In other states, thousands of nonexistent or dead people have been registered, even Mickey Mouse. The names of two members of the Dallas Cowboys football team were used in Nevada registrations.

What I want to know is, where is the Justice Department and the RICO law in all this mess? Is the plan to wait until after Democrats have rigged the election and won before seriously looking into all this? Or is there a plan to look into it more deeply at all, or just let scammers rip off the American electoral process?

Nobody knows for sure what will happen November 4. But the way it smells right now, we may wind up with liberal Democrats in charge of the White House and Congress. That, as I see it, will pretty much spell doom to the American way of life. We'll see anti-gun legislation, we'll see people who dissent being shut down, attacks on the conservative radio programs using the Fairness Doctrine, leftist Supreme Court justices who will control the madness for a generation or more.

As I've said before, if Americans are so foolish they deserve to go down the drain. If they can't understand why all the corrupt dictators and despots around the world are speaking out in support of Obama, then destruction is their just due.

At this point, I have zero respect for Barack Hussein Obama. I'm not apt to suddenly gain any if he wins. I will consider him a farce and a bad joke, brought about by control freaks and cretins, many of whom will whimper like little puppies when they discover how they have been blind-sided.

I hope I live to see the day.

Ah, those sneaky networks

I noticed something very strange today while viewing online the first "CSI" show of the new season, the one in which crime scene investigator Warrick Brown is killed. In real life, Gary Dourdan (Brown) got into so much trouble when arrested in Palm Springs for possession of heroin, cocaine, Ecstasy and an apparent pharmacy of other illicit substances that the production company felt it necessary to write him out of the show, thus his sudden demise.

Anyway, Brown's killer was a lawman himself, a corrupt Vegas under sheriff named McKeen. McKeen was a gray headed man, older, and amazingly, the way his name was pronounced led me to believe it was "McCain" until I saw it displayed on a computer screen in the CSI lab.

Hmm. McKeen, McCain. With dreaded Republican John McCain, enemy of all things Hollywood and network, running for president, I couldn't help but wonder if this was a mere accident, or something designed to press a point; old gray men named "McKeen" are vile and dangerous, dishonest. More than likely killers.

Nah, I don't think it was an accident. If you watch a lot of these TV shows, you know the liberal writers are good at inserting little editorial digs against Republicans and conservatives here and there. But they own the game so they can do more or less what they wish to do.

Of course, this "McKeen, McCain" think won't affect anybody with their mind long made up, like myself. But for some of those sitting on the fence and not sure of which way they will go, it might help sway them.

But then, with all the dead people and felons beginning to show up on the voter rolls, that may not even be necessary. I've noticed that in cases where it might be possible or applicable, the media haven't told us to which party they are registered.

The reason for that should be quite obvious by now.

The facts

They don't mean a lot to the lying ass liberals, but read them yourself.

Sure he didn't....

If you believe this, then I have a couple of islands to sell to you. And as for the "critics," most of those are liberal assholes just like Stone so what do you expect them to say?

Move along, there's nothing to see here

I can describe last night's town hall debate in two words: it sucked.

Both men were boring as hell. Moderator Tom Brokaw didn't ask anything interesting at all and keep the talk steered away from guns, abortion, Obama's doubtful associations, or anything else that might have allowed McCain some headway. The few audience questions seemed for the most part to be planted to assist Obama and none of them were particularly astute.

I don't know that one can cite a "winner" of such a boring mess. I suspect however that Obama, who is supposed to be young and energetic, came off a little less well because he seemed so lackluster, whereas we expect McCain to be old and grumpy and not too fired up.

The format for this so-called debate was pathetic. A moderator in this kind of debate should be there solely for the purpose of reminding the participants of time restrictions and not for the purpose of asking questions. The debaters should have been allowed to select at random from people in the audience wishing to ask questions.

Brokaw made several mentions of time problems--and ALWAYS just after Obama had rambled on at length and before McCain had his opportunity to speak. Nothing surprising about that because, like all the big talking heads, Brokaw is about as far in the tank for Obama as he can get.

I'm not sure I'll bother to watch the next one if it's based on this same format. And, pray tell, why can't we have a conservative moderator at just one debate this year? I suppose the Democrat would refuse to participate were that the case.

Good!

And I hope the little bastard gets the full five years, though with Daddy's connections he probably won't.

No shit?

Skank whore and alleged singer Madonna says Sarah Palin can't come to her show. What a terrible loss for Palin! (yeah)

This goes to show the kind of egos these elitist lefty entertainment assholes have. Why would a piece of human crap like Madonna think anyone in their right mind would want to see her make a fool of herself? I wouldn't cross the street to see that scurvy bitch.

Alec Baldwin better watch himself, too. Palin's husband looks like he could shove a snowmobile up that tub of lard's ass and would enjoy doing it.

Silencing the opposition

Someone stole my McCain--Palin sign out of the front yard night before last. Oddly enough, a couple days before that a black family moved into the house next door. I'm not saying the two things have any connection but it certainly looks suspicious, as the sign had been in the yard several weeks.

I called the police to report it, but of course they more or less laughed it off. The cop I talked to is a Democrat (he once got pissed at me because I wouldn't watch the Michael Moore horseshit he brought by for me to see) and I'm sure he's a big Obama man. Hell, for all I know the cops may have taken it themselves.

If I can get another one I'll stick it out there and then keep a still watch. I suspect if the neighbor had anything to do with it, a new one would likely be gone the first night. That being the case, I might catch someone in the act.

I shouldn't be surprised. After all, most Obama supporters have very little honor to begin with. They lie or treat lies as truths, so stealing is not a big leap for them. It's probably among their lesser sins.

There's an easier way to solve this "problem"

A Muslim cleric has called for Saudi women to wear a full veil, or nigab, that reveals only one eye, in order to control seduction, the BBC reported Friday.

Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said that women in Saudi Arabia are encouraged to use eye makeup and look seductive when allowed to wear a veil that exposes both eyes.

Why not just gouge all the men's eyes out? That works for me.

Well, it worked, didn't it?

They damned sure quit smoking.

Playing with a crooked deck

I thought Sarah Palin more than held her own with Joe Biden last night. Moderator Gwen Ifill, who had to be on edge after word came out about her Obama book slated to be released on inauguration day, seemed to give Biden the first and last response more often that not. But she didn't display any overt bias that I could detect otherwise.

But why, pray tell, didn't Ifill question Biden's allegation that the French and Americans had driven Hezbollah out of Lebanon. When did that happen? It didn't, of course, but Biden will slide by with it as he has with all his lies and misstatements, which are numerous. Include in those his contention that Iran is "not near" getting a nuclear weapon, though most estimates state that's possible within two years.

Of course, the MSM today named Biden winner of the debate as expected. That was a foregone conclusion going in, it couldn't have happened any other way. And the same will happen in the two remaining presidential debates because the media are all the way in the tank for Obama. There can be no turning back at this point. Obama could be caught in bed with the proverbial "dead woman or live boy" and still slide by without too much negative media attention. He won't have to worry about things like this getting any widespread attention either, because to do so would be double racist, as the guy doing the "embarrassing" is black as well. Same with this one, but then he associates with a lot of shady characters, doesn't he?

On another note, I'm not a big Bill O'Rielly fan but I like the way he takes Barney Fag, uh, Frank to task in this video. Frank is one of the more despicable creatures who inhabit that big madhouse of despicable creatures and his continual presence shows the lack of intelligence of his Massachusetts constituents. Anybody who can run a gay whorehouse out of his home and stay in office is a person elected by idiots.

How bad does the media suck?

If John McCain somehow manages to win the election in little more than a month, he will have done so by beating both Obama and the mainstream media. That sounds like an impossible task, but it can be done -- George W. Bush did it twice, if you recall.

Certainly the leftist press distorts things in a way that makes you believe it's impossible, in much the same way they did with Bush and Kerry even on election day. Remember all those exit polls that proved there was no way Kerry could lose? They wanted voters who hadn't cast votes yet to either "vote for the winner" or, since their man had already lost, stay at home and avoid standing on line for nothing.

There's a whole other element in this election and that's the race of one of the candidates. Let's be realistic and face it: a lot of people who publicly say they intend to vote for Obama with a camera in their face will pull the McCain lever in the privacy of the voting booth. Why? Because they don't want to be shown up as racist even if they are. There are lots of racists in this country (white AND black), possibly enough to affect the outcome of a close election.

That's not to say that all those who vote against Obama are racists. There are plenty of good reasons not to vote for a man who has nothing at all to recommend him for the job. Truth is, except for being an ultra-liberal Negro, he would not even be in the race because a white man with his dearth of qualifications (see John Edwards) would have been laughed out of it long before now.

But the MSM has anointed him as savior and intend to see him elected. There are so many negatives in his past that's it's almost beyond belief that they have all been ignored by the powers that control the press, but they have. No difficult questions are forthcoming for Obama. He can associate with all the terrorists and crooks he wishes without fear that the average America will learn of it, unless they use the Internet and visit a relatively few sites. He can lie at will, and does, knowing that he is not apt to be challenged in any meaningful way.

Conversely, the media loads the tables against McCain-Palin at every opportunity; unfortunately, sometimes with the apparent blessing of the latter, as in the case of the upcoming debate between Sarah Palin and Joe "The Mouth" Biden Thursday. The moderator for that debate is none other than PBS "newsperson" Gwen Ifill, a Negro and flaming liberal who has written a book about Obama. That book, "Politics and Race in the Age of Obama," is slated to be released on inauguration day.

Is this a conflict of interest or what? Can you imagine a conservative newsperson (if you could find one) writing such a book from that perspective and then being allowed to "moderate" a debate between the parties involved? I think not.

The big question here is why did McCain-Palin sign off on such bullshit? Apparently, they didn't know Ifill had written the book! That proves that their staff needs to change the way they're doing business, because ignorance like that won't get them far in a world of Obamite media with a sight set on smearing and destroying them at every turn.

And they should have known Ifill's shitty liberal reputation in any case. She couldn't fairly moderate anything with a Republican involved.

Look, these far left liberals are extreme and nasty people. If you don't believe that, go and take a look at the comments on sites like Daily Kos and Huffington Post. They tell the most outrageous lies and spread the nastiest gossip, especially on Palin. They infiltrate conservative boards and, playing conservative sock puppets, say the same kinds of things designed to make conservatives look bad. Or else they troll and make filthy comments time and again under different names.

You have to wonder at the mental health of people who spout such mindless drivel as found on the two sites named above. It's one thing to be a naive, politically-correct, tree-hugging do-gooder, but quite another to sink to the level many "progressives" seem capable of in the name of promoting their latest "cause".

On a personal note, I find it difficult anymore to even get along with people who are so outspoken in their support of Obama, and especially when they won't listen to any reasonable argument against him. I've thinned down the herd of friends and acquaintances somewhat in recent days, though in truth I have no close friends who are supporters of Obama.

But my MySpace list has shortened considerably and I've decided to no long associate with several other people I know who are rabid in injecting their unwanted emails about the Negro buffoon time and again, solely for the purpose of irritating me. I could in turn bombard them with conservative material, but conservatives are more capable of controlling such urges than the kind of "activists" who envision themselves as saviors of (whatever).

Biden and the "Bridge to Nowhere" -- the facts

Check this video below (from CNN of all people!) and you'll see the truth of this "issue" that's not really an issue. McCain didn't vote for the Alaskan bridge (and Palin wasn't even governor at the time), but Biden and Obama voted for it TWICE. And, Biden has his own "bridge to nowhere" to worry about.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0bWz79oFeo

Biden is like a STD....

The gift that keeps on giving....

A rarity

A college professor with a little sense.

My God!

CNN is telling the truth about something involving Biden and Obama?

What's this world coming to? Scary.

Dems losing grip

Things seem to be on the wane for Obama and Biden and they're now close to feuding a bit between themselves. Obama is apparently getting a little pissed with Biden's habit of running his mouth without first informing the Main Man, as he did with his condemnation of the AIG bailout on the Today show. Obama claims to support it. And by the way, Matt Lauer must have gone totally insane because he pointed out the contradiction in a follow up question, something we haven't see much of the the MSM when it comes to Obama. And then old Joe said the Obama ad mocking McCain was "terrible" and then, a short time later, changed his tune on that -- obviously after Obama got all up his ass about it. And then, old Joe recently told voters in Ohio that there would be no clean coal plants in America, though Obama has supported them in the past.

It's nice watching these political cretins self-destruct. Obama wouldn't have a lot of trouble destructing on his own, as his lack of substance on the real issues unfold over time, but the addition of Big Mouth Biden on the ticket has hastened the process dramatically. The guy literally can't open his mouth without proving what an arrogant fool he is.

It's your liberal politics, stupid!

Oh my, last night's Emmy awards was the lowest rated ever? That's explained away because of competition from a football game.

Get real! People have stopped watching this kind of garbage because they don't care to see two-bit Hollywood fools mouthing liberal platitudes and berating Republicans. The great big unwashed middle of America who no longer watch this kind of malignant shit is the same large number of people who show up at polls and vote.

Hollywood is probably the best ally conservatives ever had, though they sure as hell didn't intend for it to be that way.

Hmmmm

Well, there was at least a couple of positive things that flowed from the economic meltdown in recent days. Couldn't happen to nicer people.

Ha! That's a lie

We know she wasn't talking about herself because, in truth, the woman is uglier than death taking a dump. Now, I'm not trying to be nasty but just stating a fact.

If you think Michelle Obama looks good, keep a tight grip on your seeing-eye dog.

How low can you go?

You'd have to ask this piece of Harlem trash. Every day brings some new revelation of wrongdoing by this scumbag and yet Prunelosi won't ask him to step down and the chairman of the Ways & Means Committee.

Look, if the greasy-headed jerk can't handle his own finances, how's he supposed to handle ours? He should be in a pen somewhere and may very well wind up there.

Sunday Morning BS

It used to be a Sunday morning ritual to watch the political talk shows and round table discussions, especially the thing on ABC hosted by the Greek dwarf and former Clinton ass-kisser, George Stephanopoulos. But I can't do it now because things have become some one-sided and biased that it's infuriating.

First of all, the Dwarf loads his panel up with three ultra-liberals (four if you count him, and you have to) and one alleged conservative -- George Will. Will might be a fiscal conservative, but in many ways he's hard to separate from the other lefties on the panel and he seems fearful of disagreeing with them anyway.

What these fools should be talking about are things like ABC's unbelievable editing of the Charlie Gibson interview with Sarah Palin. The transcript shows that critical material was cut out on several occasions resulting in almost a 180-degree change in what she had actually said.

Those kind of things aren't honest mistakes, they are calculated tactics of deception and Gibson (and most of those other talking heads) have gone completely off the reservation in their efforts to promote Obama. And, wouldn't you know it, the Obama campaign is charging McCain with running the nastiest campaign in American history -- which is exactly what Obama and his media cohorts are doing. That side has a habit of accusing the opposition of everything nasty that they are doing themselves.

It has even got so petty that Maureen Dowd, that drunken slattern at the NYT, is going after Palin because she wears shoes that are "too young" for her. How stupid can you get?

I probably shouldn't complain about all this because, I suspect, it's doing Palin a lot more good than harm. People have lost faith in the media and every preposterous claim just drives another nail in their coffin and adds another voter to the McCain-Palin side.

More Muslim sensibility

There are probably some TV network heads in this country that I wouldn't mind seeing this notion applied to.

But really, can you imagine some idiot with authority coming out and advocating such a thing? Just another symptom of what is wrong with that ungodly and corrupt cult.

Dems fading in Congressional races....

It looks like the do-nothing Dems are starting to slip badly in the upcoming congressional races, perhaps riding the crest of the current McCain-Palin popularity. They have lost a double-digit lead and now are behind Republicans in the likely voter category.

It's not really hard to understand. The Democrats came back into control of the House two years ago promising a lot and providing nothing but more of the same, or worse. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (or "Prunelosi" as I like to refer to her) has done nothing by exhibit the worst kind of partisanship and stonewall every effort by the opposition, and now those chickens may be coming home to roost. She and Harry Reid in the Senate have proven to be two of the more ineffective people who ever existed in leadership roles; I actually think Reid is senile, so stupid are some of his comments and actions.

O.J.'s lawyers are pretty slick....

Seems to me this "all-white jury" may well serve O.J. Simpson in his current Nevada robbery case. If the outcome is negative, he has a built-in reason for appeal on racial grounds. And I'm pretty sure that's exactly what his lawyers are thinking.

Don't rush out and bet the farm on it....

NEW YORK (AP) - Former President Clinton shared sandwiches at his office in Harlem with Barack Obama on Thursday and predicted that the Democrat will win the presidential race "pretty handily."

As I recall, Billy Bob also predicted that wife Hillary was going to beat Obama. It really must be a drag for him to miss out on another White House shot at those interns.

Another Hollywood scum sounds off

Following yesterday's comment about Matt Damon and his silly remarks (which were based on malignant leftist rumors proven wrong before he voiced them), I see another "star" has raised her head up from the latest penis she was videoed consuming and voiced her stupid opinion. Of course that's Pam Anderson, the diseased whore (we can pretty well figure how she got that Hep C, watch what you eat, bitch), who thinks Sarah Palin sucks -- and "sucking" is something Anderson knows about intimately, if you recall that nasty video she did with then husband Tommy Lee.

Truth is, it must hurt shopworn slatterns like Anderson when a beautiful and wholesome real American woman like Palin shows up in the public domain. It seems to be the sworn duty of Hollywood scum to always attack anybody from the decent side of things. And what's really pathetic is, those fools don't even realize that nobody listens to them, other than their fellow scum-mates, nor cares what their opinions are.

The limousine liberals are the biggest bunch of phonies who ever drew breath. They preach conservation and are the biggest abusers of energy and resources. They worry about the human rights of every foreign dictator and enemy of America and yet hate everybody in their own country who doesn't see the world through their distorted vision.

My solution is to boycott them. The movie business has diminished greatly in the past couple of years and much of that is due to these idiots who run their mouths without thinking. Make them hurt in the pocketbook. That's the only thing they understand.

(I didn't put a link to Anderson's blather, but it's easily sought out via search engine.)

Matt Damon?

Does anybody care what this shit-for-brains actor has to say about ANYTHING? If you do, you need to get a life in a hurry. Christ, what a pussy.

Biden questions Obama's judgment

At a rally in Nashua, N.H., a man in the audience told Biden how glad he was that Obama picked him over Hillary, "not because she's a woman, but because, look at the things she did in the past."

"Make no mistake about this," Biden responded. "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Let’s get that straight. . . ."

Seems to me that Biden is saying Obama picked the wrong man, as Hillary is "more qualified" than he is. Now that's a ringing endorsement from your running mate if ever there was one.

Jackson Sun pushing Commie recipes???

What's up with this crap? Naming anything after "Chairman Mao" is a bad idea--even if it's a recipe for pig. And aren't they fearful of straining relations with their beloved Muslims, though no doubt the far left crowd there would love anything communist.

Shitrag papers are falling all over America. Bless the day this one goes down the crapper.

Gotta love Greg Gutfeld

But here's the thing: I don't think Obama was calling Sarah a pig. He was using an old phrase meant to describe someone trying to gussy something up that's still bad. So Obama is innocent, I think.

But I wonder if the left-wing media would be as fair to the right, if they had done the same thing. I mean, in my opinion, when Obama tries to camouflage his own mistakes by blaming others, he's simply "painting a turd" — to use a phrase identical to "lipstick on a pig." I wonder what the Huffington Post and Keith Olbermann think of that.

Gutfeld just tells it like it is about everything, no matter who gets harpooned. That "painting a turd" just about says it all.

The Democrat's slime machine

Isn't it grand how the emergence of Sarah Palin has driven the far left clear over the precipice of sanity? The touted "BDS" (Bush Derangement Syndrome) experienced by the left for the past eight years has been replaced by PDS since the Alaskan governor was named as McCain's running mate.

It's amazing to have witnessed the transformation of Obama from a cool and calm Democratic elitist to a whining spoiled brat seemingly bullied by a girl on the school yard. The real Barack has come out in the past few days and it's not a sight designed to instill much confidence in his leadership abilities or his level of maturity. And the "pig with lipstick" comment -- regardless of what anybody says, was way beyond the pale for anyone who would even pretend to be a leader of all Americans.

Certainly, the insane minions of the Left are attempting to work their corrupt magic against the woman who would be VP. They are smearing her with all sorts of slimy lies and rumors, from phony book-banning lists as governor to rumors of torrid affairs and sexual and administrative misconduct.

Her religious practices have been under attack as well, especially during a period some years ago when she attended a Pentecostal church. Thus far, the left wing smear machine working in Alaska (a virtual army of misanthropes airlifted there by Democrats to dig up dirt on the Gov) have not found evidence of her speaking in tongues or handling rattlesnakes. They may have to make up a few incidents if their search is unsuccessful, but doing so would pose little problem for these living turds without conscience or soul. Truth is what THEY say it is, nothing more or less.

What's really amusing is realizing that these leftist fools have no idea how average Americans view all this. (To the elitist Left, the average American is the "white trash/trailer trash" they all abhor.) If we were all as stupid as they believe, we might eat up these rumors and fall for it. But most people don't and these clowns wind up preaching to the choir and further hurting the chances of their doubtful candidate.

Obama is a rank amateur in the political realm, even if he was raised up to prominence by the great corrupt Chicago Democratic machine. And it's beginning to show in a serious way. His highly touted intelligence is seldom apparently and seems to be based on little more than myth. He's spiteful and vindictive and yes, racist. He exhibits all the traits his "typical white grandmother" did, only in reverse.

No doubt it's very painful to him to be overshadowed by a strong white woman who appears all of a sudden to steal his thunder. And it doesn't help any that Palin is about 50 times more gorgeous than his wife -- though in reality that wouldn't be a valid compliment to Palin. I suspect if that scurrilous online gossip rag, TMZ, (another piece of leftist hockey) posted pictures of both with their "who would you rather?" poll attached, Palin would walk away 90% to 10%. There's no comparison, Jack.

The next couple of months should prove very interesting. I can't wait to see Palin take on Smilin' Joe Biden, who will probably rip out what few hairs he has left.

That shouldn't take long.

Typical Jackson Sun bullshit

My friend Floyd tells me those idiots at the Jackson Sun have blocked his blog. As I told him, they're doing him a favor because he doesn't need to associate with such stupid sons of bitches anyway. That paper is a joke, with some of the worst writers of all time. He's well off rid of it and more especially that one bald-headed Unitarian geek who blabs his plagiarized BS all the time, copy and paste style. What a bunch of creeps!

Newspaper writers are beginning to see the writing on the wall:

CHICAGO (CBS) ― In a bombshell announcement in the world of sports journalism, star columnist Jay Mariotti has abruptly resigned from the Chicago Sun-Times. Mariotti told CBS 2's Dorothy Tucker that he decided to quit after covering the Olympics in Beijing because newspapers are in serious trouble, and he did not want to go down with the ship. "It's been a tremendous experience, but I'm going to be honest with you, the profession is dying,'' Mariotti said. "I don't think either paper [Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune] is going to survive."

People are deserting newspapers because they are so biased in their reporting. Falling readership of course results in falling ad revenue, so they go down the tubes.

Which is exactly what they deserve, come to think of it.

How much of this upcoming TVA rate increase is caused by sweetheart deals given big industrial energy users? I'm not sure, but I'd bet it's considerable.

This is the kind of leftist idiocy you'll find on the Jackson Sun, and by an employee at that. And, worse, attempts to respond to such things are removed by the staff there. It's little wonder newspapers all across this country are going broke and cutting staff and services. People are tired of their biased ways.

As is common with the reverse racists types so prevalent today, the person featured in this link believes only racists will fail to vote for Obama. Does she have shit for brains or what?

Be careful how you spend your charitable dollars.

Boycott Tyson Food

This company has signed a union contract dropping Labor Day as a paid holiday in favor of some Muslim holiday. They have also built a "prayer room" for Muslims at their Shelbyville plant.

I say let their chickens rot in the store coolers.

Why McKenzie, Tennessee sucks

I awoke this morning to find a large raccoon lying on the side of the road in front of my house. Since the temp is in the 90s with a heat index beyond 100, I knew it wasn't going to take long before the dead animal began to get very ripe. And so I called the city's street department around 9:30 and requested it be picked up. The lady who answered the phone said she'd get someone over to do that.

Between 1 and 1:30, and just about to leave the house for a while myself, I saw that the animal was still lying there, bloating in the heat and covered with flies. I again called the street department to express my concerns that it was growing late in the day and next thing you know, quitting time on a Friday would be here and the thing would wind up there all weekend. I was informed that all the men were busy on a sidewalk project but was told to "just be patient" as someone would get it before quitting time. I got a bit ill with the woman and more or less hung up on her--but she got even, as I should have known she would.

I went to town shopping and returned to find the animal still there and the clock hands approaching 4 p.m. I then called the McKenzie City Hall and spoke with a woman there who said she'd get in touch with them.

So here it is now at 5:30. No matter that I am in my late sixties and have breathing problems and frequent chest pains, I was forced to dig a hole in my back yard, lug the stinking animal to it and bury it, coming very near having a heart attack doing so in this 102 degree heat index. Leaving that thing out there until Monday would not only create an intolerable situation stink wise, it would be a health and safety issue. (This was a raccoon, after all, and very often those things are rabid.)

With employees like this, it's little wonder McKenzie has trouble attracting, and keeping industries. You just can't question any of the cretins on the city dole without hurting their little feelings, I suppose.

Too bad we can't withhold out taxes and sanitation fees and such, but that doesn't work. You have to pay, no doubt about that.

Whether you get the services you pay for is an entirely different matter.

The black national anthem, my ass

Something like this disgusts me. Blacks claim they want to be a part of American society, but actually so many of them widen the gap between the races at every opportunity with their bullshit racism. And no, I don't buy into the notion that they can't be racist because of their skin color.

They can be just as racist, and nowadays many of them are.

This is what the Dems really think of the South

Yeah, they're all-inclusive--IF you're a silly politically-correct idiot.

In face of Supreme Court decision, Obama backs water on gun comment

Is there no limit to what this scum-sucker will do so far as trying to con the people? Obama is an amazing fool, who seems to believe we're all fools that can be conned from one flip-flop to the next. He obviously has no core principles at all. What a disgrace.

More on Obama spurning American Muslims...

I'm almost temped to say he has good sense, but then the only reason he's doing this is political expediency. What a dipshit.

Some good news...

Especially for those leftist publications, which make up the bulk of them.

What do you wanna bet she hung the noose herself?

I'd say the odds of that are better than fair to middling. One way to try and remove some of the heat.

Is Lou Dobbs insane?

According to this, the old boy is nutty as a bat.

I thought Hershey, PA. was "Chocolate City"

Spike Lee (who's so tiny he should be called "Speck Flea") says Obama will make Washington, D.C. into "Chocolate City." I was there once and, from what I saw, that's pretty much what it is already, if you're simply talking about color. Course, it would be bitter chocolate.

Today's madness

Al the Extortionist? It wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Sharpton threatened boycotts or protests against corporations while simultaneously soliciting donations and sponsorships of NAN events, The Post detailed.

Personally, Sharpton owes $931,397 in federal taxes and $365,558 in New York City taxes, according to an IRS lien.

Two Muslim women at Barack Obama’s rally in Detroit on Monday were barred from sitting behind the podium by campaign volunteers seeking to prevent the women’s headscarves from appearing in photographs or on television with the candidate.

So, he wants to disassociate himself from Muslims, eh? Wonder if that includes his crazy African cousin and half-brother? Probably won't see any family reunions any time soon....

~~~~

Obama breaks a pledge? Is that supposed to be news? The guy is a liar who will say anything in the moment to help himself.

This sounds like good news. Every Marine exonerated in that fiasco should sue John Murtha's sorry ass for everything he has. Trouble is, he seems so senile it could possibly be a defense.

Our hero, Al Gore!

NASHVILLE- In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President’s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.

What a guy! And to think, he had balls enough to endorse Obama last night. Great man, big dumb asshole and fraud of the world.

Where is John Murtha?

If you'll recall, that slobbish slug Murtha defiled our Marines by pronouncing them all guilty before the facts were known. Where is the creep now and why hasn't he apologized?

Or better yet, blown his fucking dumb brains out.

What's wrong with Obama?

WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Barack Obama's foreign policy advisers said Tuesday that Osama bin Laden, if captured, should be allowed to appeal his case to U.S. civilian courts, a privilege opposed by John McCain.

Responding to questions from The Examiner, Sen. John Kerry and former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke said bin Laden would benefit from last week's Supreme Court decision giving terrorism suspects habeas corpus, the right to appeal their military detention to civilian courts.

That sort of mentality is part of what's wrong with Obama. To give this kind of "right" to a craven terrorist who didn't dream of applying it to his 3,000 9-11-01 victims is total madness.

I'm beginning to wonder about Obama's sanity. Before, I've just thought he was stupid, but it seems to go much further than stupidity. If this is correct, then the same rights we Americans enjoy as a birthright are afforded every other person on the face of the earth--which only serves to diminish its value and make it meaningless. I'm certain this is not what the Founding Fathers intended, but they could never have envisioned the kind of malignant and activist judges we have today. The majority of our Supreme Court would have been lynched in an earlier time as criminals.

We may be quickly approaching a time when everyday citizens start to wonder how much more of this bullshit they are willing to tolerate. A handful of people can't have much impact on anything, but if you get tens of millions of Americans stirred up properly, something could very well happen. If it does, it will have to happen soon because the Left plans on disarming us one and all as soon as possible. They're holding back now because they know any sort of anti-firearm BS at this point would have a devastating affect on their chances come November.

If they can con the America voter into electing a leftist scumbag like Obama, the trap is set. There'll be only one thing we can do about it at that point and, believe me, there will be people (especially old folks like me) ready to do it, because what the hell have you got to lose?

ADDENDUM: I just thought of another example of Obama's ignorance. He compared the Supreme Court 5-4 decision to allow habeas corpus to the Guantanamo terrorists to what the Nazis got in Nuremberg following World War Two, noting they "got their day in court." No, what they got was their day before a European war crimes tribunal, not the federal court of the United States.

The man displays an amazing amount of ignorant concerning history and its ramifications. He may have the big degrees and such, but in this world of affirmative action and the reverse discrimination that produces, it's not unheard of for the truly dumb to slip through.

The king is dead....

The recent death of NBC political reporter Tim Russert well pointed out the excesses to which the mainstream media can go in honoring one of their own. If all the accolades and platitudes could have been more self-indulgent, I'd like someone to tell me how.

Don't get me wrong: I didn't get any pleasure out of Russert's death, as I might have some other liberals or media figures, a handful perhaps. I watched his show a few times over the years and it's pretty obvious he was a man who enjoyed what he did and was well prepared to do it.

But it galls me a bit to hear this constant litany about his "fairness," as though he treated all those subjected to his grilling equally. Granted, he was tough on everybody but, even with the limited number of times I watched "Meet The Press," I had no problem early on determining what his politics was. He was a little tougher on Republicans and conservatives than he was on Democrats and liberals. Not much, just enough to know there was a distinction in his mind.

Russert specialized in the "gotcha" style of journalism. He liked to get a "victim" on camera saying something and then catch them with an old video clip or quote in which they said something substantially different.

Although that's very effective in making a point (and well used on the Internet today, where video sites like YouTube have changed politics forever), there is also a certain degree of pettiness in it. If used as the basis of a style employed almost exclusively, it would seem to point out a great need to perhaps be feared more than respected. That, combined with reports that he had a very thin skin when criticized himself, makes me wonder about the reality of his character, that part beyond the loving son and father and loyal friend to many.

Oh, well. Obviously, the man knew politics about as well as anyone around. Replacing him may prove to be a chore--indeed, more so if some of the moonbat names I've seen tossed around are really in the running. Can you imagine Keith Olbermann or Chris Matthews even pretending to be fair?

I can't.

They're all for freedom, sure

The Democrats, Obama among them, are in the process of trying to pass national fingerprint registration for many of us. Don't you just love those freedom loving folks? They talk one way and act another.

He should know what a wimp is

Rupert Everett, the actor, has made an unreserved apology for calling soldiers "wimps" and suggesting they went into the Army to torture prisoners. The star of My Best Friend's Wedding, 49, caused consternation with his attack in The Sunday Telegraph.

In an interview to publicise his new film The Victorian Sex Explorer, in which he plays the renowned explorer Sir Richard Burton, he said: "In Burton's day they were itching to get into the fray. Now it is the opposite. They are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such wimps now!

Since he's openly gay, he should very well know what a wimp is.

Local intellectuals!

Below is an example of the kind of intellectuals one has to deal with on that newspaper site I previously mentioned. I placed the corrections. Don't you love it when somebody this dumb is didactic as well.

Poor white trash huh. Well FunInSun, there are programs in place for you too. It is called a GED. Always check your spelling, let's be literate. However, on a positive note, when some of us were younger there were programs in place for the youth's [YOUTHS, no apostrophe]. These programs have be[EN} cut out by your goverment [GOVERNMENT]. They claim their [THERE] is no funding [THE COMMA WOULD GO HERE] however, the politicians continue to get richer off of our tax dollars. Let's think a little deeper. If their [THERE] were programs in place for our youth's [YOUTH], you would not feel so threaten[ED] when you, your wives and [MISSPELLING]chldren go places. I will agree, I am also glad he was caught. However, there are million[S] more young people in this society who need our help. I am not making excuses, just subjections [SUGGESTIONS?]. You are probably young yourself, and have no idea what is needed for the youth of today. Do not turn your back on the children, oneday[TWO WORDS] your children may need help.

Do I need my eyes checked?

I keep hearing commentators on the tube talk about how Michelle Obama is reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy. I don't see it. Maybe she looks a bit like Jackie Fargo, in the face anyway, but that's about the best I can do.

Jackie O has to be spinning in her grave to be compared to that ugly hag.

Obama is NOT a Christian

“I’m rooted in the Christian tradition,” said Obama, who has declared himself a Christian. But then he adds something that most Christians will see as universalism: “I believe there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.” [ Link]

That about says it all, doesn't it? Of course, most of the rabid lefties who support him most aren't Christians either, so it doesn't matter to them. But I wonder how the average Joe and Jane across America would react if they knew about his comments?

Unfortunately, unless they read blogs and online columns like the above they aren't apt to know, because the MSM will see to that.

Something "exceptional" may be happening

My intent to lay off politics hasn't lasted long, but if what I address here is real then exceptional is the mild way to put it. According to some reports, a video will soon surface showing Michelle Obama talking about "whitey" in a way certain to damage her husband's campaign.

The even more odd thing is that today we hear reports that Hillary Clinton will throw in the towel tonight and concede the primary, perhaps without actually withdrawing completely. If there's any truth in the rumored video, she'd be somewhat foolish to drop totally out at this point.

I suppose we'll find out what's up in the next day or so. I also suppose it's a good thing if Obama is the Democrat candidate rather than Clinton, because Obama is a shipwreck from jump.

Rough novel chapter

Claudie Longwood straightened up and stretched, looking down the long furrow to the end of the field. He took the faded red bandanna out of his back pocket and wiped the sweat from his brow before more of it could run into his eyes. His back and arms ached from using the hoe, but that was nothing new, he had learned to live with such pain years before. A turn around the well pump, a good supper and a little sleep and he'd be good as new.
The row looked about 200 feet long to the end and the weeds were so thick in the young cotton that it was hard to tell one from the other. And there were two more just like it to go.
It was closing in on 3 p.m. Claudie could tell by the way that his shadow angled off to the southeast. There wouldn't be any getting off early this Saturday, he thought. He'd be lucky to get done by 6 and, by the time he got cleaned up and into town, it would be close to 7:30. By that time, all the gals would be paired off with somebody for the evening and everybody would be half lit.
"Hell with it," he said aloud to the broad field surrounding him. "Doan reckon I gotta go to town ever' Sat'dy night."
Truth was, he had his eye on Mary Larkins. She'd come over to Mississippi from somewhere in Alabama and moved in where her Aunt Bessie on the old Campton place. She was a mysterious and pretty woman, black as a raven's wing and with teeth white as sweet milk. She always wore colorful calico dresses and when she walked her broad rump rolled in a way that interested all the boys.
Truth was, Claudie was sweet on her, even if she had given him little more than a glance. Some folks said she was a "mojo woman," that she carried doodads in a tobacco sack under her clothes and she could work up spells with roots and such, evil or good, depending upon the situation. Some of the boys had started calling her "Root Mary," because of the rumor.
Claudie did not know if he believed any of that stuff, but he sure had more than a passing interest in what she had under that bright calico dress besides 'baccer sacks. 'Course, she was in her thirties, according to some of the other gals, which made her about a dozen years older than Claudie. Some gals liked the younger boys and some liked more seasoned men. He did not know which she was, but he meant to find out soon as he could.
He went back to his hoe, whacking away at the weeds amongst the cotton shoots. It was best to keep busy at such times, made the minutes pass quicker and took away from a long, hot day of work. Plus, he didn't want his daddy or Mista Boots to sneak up and spot him lollygagging with work still to be completed.
Not that Mista Boots had the reputation of sneaking around and trying to catch his field hands not working. No, Claudie had never heard of that happening. Many black folks did not like Mista Boots, in fact hated him. Everybody knew he was behind the evil sheriff and ran things and a lot of folks hated all of them, all the whites. Fact was, Boots Ralston had always been fair to Claudie and his family, leastways when it came to being honest with the crop shares and the credit. The same could not be said of some white landowners-or even some of the few black, Claudie suspected.
Claudie did not plan to spend his life bending over hot soil, fighting for a bare living. Nosiree. He had his guitar and his singing and he was getting good with both, according to what some told him. He was not good as Robert yet, but then Robert had a start on him. Nevertheless, he would keep playing whenever he could and, before you knew it, he'd be the one all the gals were eyeing at the joints.
"Mark my word," Claudie said to the last half of the last row, standing straight again and bringing the bandana to his face. "Claudie Longwood Junior gonna be somebody." He laughed aloud at that, wondering if the sun had finally gotten to him.
Claudie had considerably underestimated the duration of his chore. It was almost 7:00 when he headed to the house, dog-tired. His legs wobbled on the sloping path from the field up through the thicket behind the house. The humidity shot up several more notches in the dampness held in by the woods and he almost gasped for breath in the thick heat. Damn, why did a man deserve such labor? What had he done in another life to cause him to be here suffering as he was?
He stopped at the well and wet himself down with the cool water in the fading day, pumping the handle with his head under it. The cold water cascaded over his broiled skin in a way that was so painful it was delicious. Every muscle in his body ached and he found it difficult to stand up straight after a day bent before the hoe.
"Boy, you done wore yo'self plumb out," his mother fretted when he went in through the back door into the kitchen. She said it sternly, like his mama said everything, but the look in her eyes told him she was worried. "I reckon you done worked all Sat'dy."
"I'm awright, Mama," he said. "Jus' hungry. I sho am wore out."
"Well, I saved you some supper," she said, turning back an oilcloth on the table to reveal a heaping plate of food. "Near 'bout lost a arm with all the snatchin' an' grabbin', them boys eat like a pack of hogs. But I managed to set you some aside."
Claudie dug into the beans and potatoes, fatback and cornbread. All he had for dinner was a little piece of ham in a biscuit and he was starving.
Claudie was used to common grub because it was all he had ever known. When times were especially good, which was not often, they would have pork chops or pork cutlets and rarely a piece of beef roast. They raised a few hogs along, but much of what came from the killings went to sale for extra cash money. And they had chickens, but the consumption of those was confined to Sundays when the preacher came to eat.
And eat he did, old Brother Dobbins. Claudie wondered about how the Bible spoke against gluttony and how Brother Dobbins would almost fight over the last biscuit on the table. He wondered what God thought about a man like Brother Dobbins and his hoggish ways, snatching the last drumstick from the hand of a hungry child. The preacher be a good man, but he got a failin' fo' food, his mama had said.
Claudie had almost said something when his mama said that. In his circles, folks knew that Brother Dobbins liked women more than food. He'd been seen many times coming and going to the home of one of those gals down in The Bottom, a gal that was said to sell meat with hair on it out the back door. He could not understand how his mama and daddy-daddy especially-had not heard about that, or why they did not notice how the preacher looked at his sister, Junie, when he came for dinner. He had that same lustful, sweaty look on his face as he had when he gazed at a golden fried pulley-bone.
Junie, just before turning a woman at 15, noticed it too, but she did not mention it to her folks. She did tell Claudie.
He make me feel all creepy, lookin' at me like that, like he wanna eat me up too.
Doan you worry none. He bothers you, I kill his ol' fat ass. You jus' tell me.
Claudie was not sure he would really kill the old preacher, but he had little doubt that he would beat the man within an inch of his life if he laid a finger on his sister. He was not a violent man and tried to stay out of trouble, but he had been in a few scraps around the juke joints. So far, it had all been knuckles and feet, no guns or strait razors or knives, and he had won every encounter handily.
'Course, he hadn't tied up with somebody like Big Sweat Dawkins either, something he didn't want to do if he could help it. Big Sweat was bad news when he got mad, and it didn't take a lot to get him there. Claudie had seen him whip three and four big men at once without raising much more than his normal sweat, which was profuse enough to earn him his nickname.
Claudie's daddy came in through the back door just as he was mopping up the last of the tater juice with a piece of hoecake.
"You get 'at piece uh work done, boy?" he asked. Claudie noticed the old man had on his good clean bibs, so he had been home a while.
"I did, Daddy, got it plumb to the end. Y'all get finished?"
"Nah, we like one mo' day. I does, anyhow. I puttin' Ted back on the hoe come Monday an' I do the barn work myself. He ain't no help, jus' gets in the way."
Ted was Claudie's younger brother, just 16 and not "work brittle" as the old folks said. Claudie just called him what he was: lazy.
"Well, it a damn shame Mista Boots put y'all workin' on a white man's barn, what with all this hoein' to do," said Claudie.
"You hush yo' mouth," his mother said. "Lawd knows you ain't been taught to talk like that. It them bars you runnin' in, they ruinin' yo' soul!"
"Aw, Mama," said Claudie. "I be sorry."
"Well, ol' man Tabor OK fo' a white man," said Claudell Sr. "And Mista Boots wanted us all to help 'cause his barn burn. They claims it was a nigra what burnt his barn."
"They always claims it was a nigra done this'n that," Claudie replied. "They blames a nigra fo' ever' bad thang what happens, seem to me like."
"You watch yo' mouth, boy," his mother said. "You get round talkin' 'bout white folks an' that shuff be stretchin' yo' neck, I tell you. You hush up."
After supper, it was still daylight and too early for bed. Claudie walked down to the little thicket behind the house, with its open place beside a small creek. The scrub trees there grew together into what looked like a tunnel of foliage and there was a stump about the right height for sitting. It was mostly quiet there, except for the faint sound of the creek running over rocks, or sometimes when the wind moved the leaves.
Claudie liked to go there alone just to sit and think. Sometimes, he would take his guitar and practice on it. Other times, he'd tote his fishing cane and catch a few perch and bluegill, which were plentiful. However, this day he did neither, being far too tired.
He couldn't figure out what life was supposed to be about. It seemed to him that things just worsened all the time, nothing ever got better. As a child, he had paid no attention to anything but playing and having fun-that is, until he got big enough to do serious chores. He didn't realize that he was much different from anybody else because all he associated with were other people like himself, poor blacks. He saw white people and understood in some elemental way that most of them seemed to be better off than most blacks, but that didn't mean anything. It just seemed to be the natural order or things.
Now, he knew different. Things didn't happen that way naturally, no. They happened that way because folks made them happen that way. And usually that was white folks.
Claudie didn't hate white people as a rule. Some of them were evil, certainly, but some of them seemed OK. Billy Prather was OK, even if his brother, Rube, was an evil man and a big wig in the Klan. Billy loved music and he spent a lot of time hanging around the black juke joints. And Billy wasn't much better off than any black person Claudie knew, other than maybe for skin color and the difference that meant. His folks were dirt poor white trash. His daddy had done time for stealing chickens and hogs, and some claimed he was guilty of barn burning and worse. Most blacks would get a kind word from the average white before any member of the Prather clan, with the possible exception of Billy.
Claudie realized there were many things he just didn't understand. Maybe that had to do with his age or maybe there were things nobody ever really learned the truth of. The old folks believed that life was just a prelude to what came next, and if that was so then nothing made much difference. Life was mostly about suffering for salvation, going on through all the doom and gloom in hopes of pie in the sky in the great by and by.
Maybe they were right, but Claudie had his doubts. It seemed to him that a god that could invent the world and the wonders of the heavens wouldn't be so small minded to expect his creations to abide senseless suffering for a possible dream. It didn't make sense that if God's son had freely given himself up to the suffering of the cross in order to wash away the sins of mankind, God would hold it against everybody and extract a pound of flesh from them.
"God gotta be bigger'n that," Claudie muttered to himself, there on the stump in the small clearing by the creek in the dying day.
He ambled back to the house, worn out in body and spirit. The old corn shuck mattress on the sapling frame cot in the lean-to was hard and lumpy as ever, but he was too tired to care. Sleep ran him down like a car too long on the rail crossing.

Change of direction (temporarily, at least

I’ve decided to lay off politics for a while, unless something exceptional happens. After all, Barack Obama’s gaffes are so frequent that it’s redundant to note them all. Hillary Clinton continues to beat a dead horse, and John McCain is so wishy-washy I sometimes wonder why I consider him the lesser of evils. That’s the way it goes in election year America, 2008.

The main thing bothering me in recent days is this humidity. I can take dry heat well enough, but when that dew point starts rising my lungs feel like moving to Arizona or the lower desert in Southern California.

I lived in the latter for a number of years and those summertime temps get might vicious, but at least the heat is usually dry. Usually is the key word when you’re talking about the Imperial Valley, because when farmers dump a foot or some or good old Colorado River irrigation water on huge fields, the humidity can rise pretty high. Sometimes it’s simply stifling.

My plan for this year was to use the air conditioner just as little as possible. The TVA keeps raising the rate almost every year now and it’s getting hard to pay these heating/cooling bills; in my case the heating bills are paid to West Tennessee Public Utilities District for natural gas, which has become more expensive than platinum in recent years. Of course, the best laid plans of mice and men. . . .

Unfortunately, my plans seldom work out as envisioned. Were it 20 years ago, when I was still a rowdy fellow hale and hearty, I could tough it out. No more. I’m getting older and more fragile, wracked by many decades of tobacco, alcohol and other chemical substances, not to mention a lot of wild life thrown in for good measure. The old hull of a body is succumbing to the hands on the clock and so I figure what the hell, I intend to be as comfortable as possible long as I can. So I run the air and pledge what’s left of my soul to Carroll County Electric Department.

I should be sitting here in the cool working on the prequel to my last novel. I’ve got about five chapters of that done, but haven’t touched it for several weeks. In another age, I latched onto projects and worked them diligently, adding something every day. In fact, I got back into that mode with the last novel and wrote the last half in about six months, after diddling around with the first half for about four years. If I could find that kind of discipline now, the kind that forces one to write a few hundred words a day like clockwork, the problem would be solved.

Just for the heck of it, I may throw a chapter of the novel in progress on this blog. Anybody wishing to comment on it can contact me at the email address to be found near the top of the sidebar.

I'm baaaack!

Well, I’m back after an extended absence. I made the mistake of believing I could blog on a liberal newspaper site, where one of the editors is a nutty "Unitarian Universalist"--if you don’t know what that is, it’s an atheist without sufficient balls to admit it. A diverse group of fruitcakes, they believe in everything--and nothing. Anyway, I’ve bid adieu to that outhouse and plan to keep this site updated on a daily basis, or as much so as possible.

I see Obama has finally given up on that craven gathering of fools called the Trinity Church of Christ. Typical move of a typical Chicago politician and about 20 years too late to mean anything, but it really won’t matter. The brain-stem preparations that populate the left will continue to love him and more moderate people will continue to see him as the total fraud he is. Lacking experience, he’s running on judgment. I’m still waiting to see some judgment.

In the history of politics, has there ever been a candidate who has made more mistakes and gaffes that have been ignored so totally by the press? I don’t believe so--not even other Democrats. Obama has been given a free pass by the media. From the looks of things, it may go that way right up to November.

I think race is going to play a big part in the election in two ways. First, about 90 something percent of blacks are going to vote for him simply because he’s black. And a large number of whites are going to vote against him for the same reason. The latter number is still up in the air, but suffice to say that since whites outnumber blacks by such a huge majority, the latter could more than nullify the former.

Of course, in this highly-charged atmosphere, any rejection of Obama is viewed as racist by the minions of the Left. They can’t comprehend a valid reason to be against him--no matter that he has no experience, exhibits not one shred of the kind of talents necessary to serve at that level (other than for a sometimes eloquent, and frequently forked, tongue), and seems to make one mistake in judgment after another.

The man obviously is well-suited for a senatorship in a corrupt state like Illinois, where he can vote "present" instead of taking a stand on things and where he can profit from his associations with people like Tony Rezko, Reverend Wright and Father Michael Pfleger. None of that translates to making a POTUS.

Clinton first black president? - Morrison backs water

Lately, black writer Toni Morrison was questioned about her claim several years ago that Bill Clinton was the "first black president." Below is the question and comment:

Do you regret referring to Bill Clinton as the first black President? —Justin Dews, Cambridge, Mass.

People misunderstood that phrase. I was deploring the way in which President Clinton was being treated, vis-à-vis the sex scandal that was surrounding him. I said he was being treated like a black on the street, already guilty, already a perp. I have no idea what his real instincts are, in terms of race.

Hmmm, Morrison seems to want to disavow what she said way back when. But below is a quote from much longer comments she made at the time that seems to contradict her most recent contention:

African-American men seemed to understand it right away. Years ago, in the middle of the Whitewater investigation, one heard the first murmurs: white skin notwithstanding, this is our first black President. Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children's lifetime. After all, Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald's-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas. [Emphasis mine] And when virtually all the African-American Clinton appointees began, one by one, to disappear, when the President's body, his privacy, his unpoliced sexuality became the focus of the persecution, when he was metaphorically seized and bodysearched, who could gainsay these black men who knew whereof they spoke? The message was clear "No matter how smart you are, how hard you work, how much coin you earn for us, we will put you in your place or put you out of the place you have somehow, albeit with our permission, achieved. You will be fired from your job, sent away in disgrace, and--who knows?--maybe sentenced and jailed to boot. In short, unless you do as we say (i.e., assimilate at once), your expletives belong to us."

Reporters without investigative skills

The below paragraph comes from an article in the McKenzie Banner:

Henry County Mayor Brent Greer said the music star participants remain "secret" at this time. However, the drivers are part of a reality television show known as "Gone Country."

How about checking around a bit and you might find out who those "secret" participants are?

05.06.2008--According to today's Tennessean, the cast for season 2 is: rock singer Sebastian Bach (Skid Row); singer Irene Cara (Fame); American Idol finalist Mikalah Gordon; singer Jermaine Jackson; *NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick; and actors Lorenzo Lamas and Sean Young. It also says that the new season will begin in August.

Little-Known But Exploited Loophole Allows Politicians To Drive, Maintain Expensive Cars, SUVs On Taxpayer Money

Rep. Charles Rangel: 'My Constituents Appreciate It'

Congressman Charles Rangel was recently seen getting out of his Cadillac DeVille, which he leases for $774 per month. Then there was Congressman Jose Serrano, getting out of his Buick LaCrosse, which he leases for $317 per month. And how about this one: Congressman Gregory Meeks was recently seen waiting for Congressman John Conyers to step out of Meeks' Lexus LS460, which Meeks leases for $998 per month.

All those leases are picked up by taxpayers through a little-known program available only to members of the House of Representatives.

Well, in Rangel's case I can understand why he cuts corners and puts costs off on taxpayers at every opportunity. That axle grease he uses on his hair must cost a fortune when bought by the barrel.

It took two people to write this garbage?

Christ, what's the world coming to?

On the run...

If Al-Qaeda scum were winning the terror war, why would scumbag #2 be issuing statements like this?

He wouldn't. In the last year, things have definitely gone south for these mad dogs. They're almost in panic mode by now as they see their dream of world domination slipping away, as more and more people come to understand just what they are.

However, all is not rosy. I read where a Saint George's Day parade in one British town was cancelled (note how the REAL name of the reason for the cancellation is studiously avoided) because of fears over Muslims rioting in protest. And all over Europe, these maniacs are making inroads into control of governments simply because the governments don't have the backbone to stand up to their insanity.

More dumbass reporting

You can always count on the Banner and the Henry Countian to come through with something so pathetic it's hard to believe. Below is the opening paragraph from a story of a missing Paris man who disappeared when his boat overturned on a lake in Carroll County:

The search resumed early this morning for Dr. Mickey Carpenter, 1150 Anderson Dr., Paris, who has been missing since Friday afternoon.

Why would you include a man's exact home address in an article? Wouldn't it cause every dope head and burglar who read it to think, wow, they're probably all away now because of this search and I can steal whatever I want. Not only that, most people don't want their street address broadcasted to the world anyway, not with all the weirdos running around loose.

A little later, the paragraph below shows up:

The Carroll County Sheriff's Department would not release any details this morning, so information on the scope of the search was not available.

Exactly, so that's why a good reporter will cultivate sources among police personnel, so they can obtain information even when officials don't want to talk. That's frequently the case, though one would be hard pressed to see what the CCSO would be compromising by detailing a bit of the situation. Law enforcement authorities frequently treat the most mundane information as if it were state secrets simply because they can.

As anyone who keeps up with media knows, newspapers are having a hard time nowadays, especially the big and formerly illustrious dailies like the New York Times. Advertisers are deserting them in droves and most of the big ones are losing subscribers and ad revenue at an alarming rate, forcing large cutbacks in staff. The era of the pulp newspaper as the guiding arm of mass media seems to be drawing to an end, as the Internet and other electronic forms take over.

I suspect that disengagement hasn't filtered down to these small rural weeklies yet. Truth is, except for the first three pages, most are viewed by the people who run them basically as an ad spread with "news" stuck in for filler material. Readers are used to that and in fact most don't realize the difference in real news or filler, bad writing or good, truth or something in between.

That's the way we roll in Dixie.

Former McKenzie officer makes good

NOT!

Ugh

This is what runs our news media nowadays. The other end of that rope shouldn't have been tied around his neck. It should have been tied to the bumper hitch on a pickup truck.

More piss-poor writing

As bad as the Banner is at times, it can’t hold a candle to its sister publication, the online only Henry Countian. The so-called editor of that site writes like old people have sex--and I know because I’m old people.

Below are a few examples from a current article, with the "wrong way" taken directly from text and the "right way" my rewrite.

The wrong way: During the chase, the patient was involved in two hit-and-run incidents with the stolen truck.

The right way: During the chase, the patient was involved in two hit-and-run accidents. [Since we know from several prior mentions that the escaped patient is driving a stolen truck, we would not assume he was driving a tractor or dune buggy.]

The wrong way: The patient was charged with theft of property over $1,000 by the McKenzie Police.

The right way: McKenzie police charged the man with theft over $1,000.

The wrong way: In a press release from the Department of Health, it noted that the nursing home received six deficiency citations, five in the immediate jeopardy category.

The right way: A Health Department press release noted that Oak Manor was cited for six deficiencies, five in the immediate jeopardy category.

You should get the picture. I could rewrite every article available on that site and cut out nine-tenths of the bullshit. Why bother?

Need some poorly-written, boring news?

Check this out. Someone needs to teach the girl what a paragraph is and also impart the necessity to explain things a bit better. Saying an ordinance was adopted without telling anything about it is just lousy journalism.

But then, the Banner has been going downhill for years quality wise. This kind of bland, amateurish writing is indicative of the decline.

Damage control, damage control!

Obama recently screwed the pooch when a dumb ass liberal blogger let slip what he had to say privtely before a group of latte-sipping lefties in San Francisco about the bitterness of all us rural types who are "clinging to God and our guns." Now, he's trying to mitigate the damage by putting a flag pin back in his lapel, something he stopped doing some time ago.

Damn, next thing you know that son of a bitch will be showing the proper degree of respect when the Pledge of Allegiance is said! Nah, he won't go THAT far.

Coming to America

It won't be long before you'll see garbage like this here. It's coming.

Where will the stupidity end?

A playground pastime is getting a timeout this spring at a McLean elementary school.

Robyn Hooker, principal of Kent Gardens Elementary School, has told students they may no longer play tag during recess after determining that the game of chasing, dodging and yelling "You're it!" had gotten out of hand. Hooker explained to parents in a letter this month that tag had become a game "of intense aggression."

Can you imagine...

What would happen if authorities took this kind of action against a Muslim compound? The outcry would be instant and ongoing. The basis for this raid seems rather thin, but then--considering what that sow, Janet Reno, did in Waco--the outcome wasn't as terrible as it might have been.

Speaking of Muslim compounds, there are a number of these all over the country, some of home-grown black converts and some of Arab Muslims. Since we know Muslims have a taste for "honor killing" of females, one can only guess what sort of horrors have happened in them. But don't expect to find out too much, political correctness won't make provisions for that. Even if a lot of evidence shows these miscreants are training with arms for jihad.

Can you say "hypocrite?"

Maybe he was on an "undercover assignment."

Makes sense to me

Israel is right to "snub" Jimmy Carter, our laughingstock of a former president who loves Israel's (and America's) enemies. The man is a disgrace, a mockery of anything decent in the world. Carter is a bitter little man whose place in history will always be defined by his lack of balls and his petty attitudes. He will be remembered as the impotent little weasel who allowed Iran to crap on us for 444 days while our embassy personnel were held hostage, and for the ill-advised "rescue" mission that left eight of our servicemen dead in a desert windstorm. What a grub.

Another Hillary lie

Over the last five weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has featured in her campaign stump speeches the story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee.

The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured.

I'm not sure at this point if Hillary Clinton even knows how to tell the truth. She's had very little practice.

Bill to Regulate Tobacco Moves Forward

The House Energy and Commerce Committee approved a bill Wednesday that would give the Food and Drug Administration sweeping regulatory authority over the tobacco industry, clearing the way for a House floor vote on the legislation, which has long been sought by anti-tobacco activists. (New York Times)

I hope Henry Waxman dies of cancer of the asshole, that clownish, ugly son of a bitch.

Skanky hoes unite!

Good evidence that shit does run downhill and finds its own level.

Oh really?

ATLANTA — Fulton County Superior Court Judge Marvin Arrington [Ed: who is black] says he intended nothing racist when he ordered white lawyers from his courtroom while he lectured black defendants.

Don't wanna give those honkies the satisfaction, eh? Such attitudes are a big part of what's wrong in the black community, at all levels.

Oh, I understand now

So this is what's wrong with all those Hollywood liberals!

A 12-year-old boy can't defend his mother from an attacker?

What is wrong with these idiots. Someone is choking his mother and he cuts the freak's throat. Bully for him, they should give him a medal instead of wondering if he should be charged with a crime. Maybe it has something to do with the "victim's" name.

Columbia Journalism Review tackles Obama "100 year war" lie

Ever since John McCain said at a town hall meeting in January that he could see U.S. troops staying in Iraq for a hundred years, the Democrats have been trying to use the quote to paint the Arizona senator as a dangerous warmonger. And lately, Barack Obama in particular has stepped up his attacks on McCain’s “100 years” notion.

But in doing so, Obama is seriously misleading voters—if not outright lying to them—about exactly what McCain said. and some in the press are failing to call him on it.

Here’s McCain’s full quote, in context, from back in January:

Questioner: President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for fifty years…

McCain: Maybe a hundred. Make it one hundred. We’ve been in South Korea, we’ve been in Japan for sixty years. We’ve been in South Korea for fifty years or so. That’d be fine with me as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. Then it’s fine with me. I would hope it would be fine with you if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where Al Qaeda is training, recruiting, equipping and motivating people every single day.

It’s clear from this that McCain isn’t saying he’d support continuing the war for one hundred years, only that it might be necessary to keep troops there that long. That’s a very different thing. As he says, we’ve had troops in South Korea for over fifty years, but few people think that means we’re still fighting the Korean War.

The press has given Obama a pass on what they surely know is a lie simply because most of them are behind his candidacy. That speaks about as much to the media's dishonesty as to Obama's.

My goodness

I've got some "dog Obama" stuck to my shoe sole. Have to stop "walkin' in Memphis" I suppose. Or at least try to stay ten feet off of Beale.

TOOT! TOOT! [Forgive the previous typos]

Oprah believes she's God

Don't take my word for it, just watch the video and listen to what this miserable woman says. She's got the money, but it won't do her a lot of good in the long haul.

Maybe she should write "The Color Half-White"

I am a supporter of Barack Obama because I believe he is the right person to lead the United States at this time. He offers a rare opportunity for the country and the world to do better. It is a deep sadness to me that many of my feminist white women friends cannot see him, cannot hear the fresh choices toward movement he offers. That they can believe that millions of Americans choose Obama over Clinton only because he is a man, and black, feels tragic to me. . .

I want a grown-up attitude to Cuba, for instance, a country and people I love. I want an end to the war immediately, and I want the soldiers to be encouraged to destroy their weapons and drive themselves out of Iraq. I want the Israeli government to be made accountable for its behaviour to the Palestinians, and I want the people of the US to cease acting as if they don't understand what is going on. But most of all I want someone with the confidence to talk to anyone, "enemy" or "friend", and this Obama has shown he can do. [Emphasis mine]

Ah Alice, you dumb-ass anti-Semite useful idiot. Millions are choosing Obama over Clinton simply because he is not, "a man," but a black man. Millions of those choosing him are black, as are you, so you know the truth although you would never say it.

You would encourage our soldiers to turn into mutineers and deserters, why? Do you hate war that much, or do you love the enemy and what he stands for that much? And why not want to likewise punish the Palestinians for every rocket and suicide attack that has killed a poor, innocent Israeli child?

You are a pathetic dumb Negro, Alice. Your "Mandela" is a big zero and the majority of Americans will never be dumb enough to make him king of the land. Obama hasn't shown us anything, other than he hangs with bigots and America-haters, talks in circles and deals with all sorts of thugs and shady folks.

He hasn't been in prison like Mandela yet, but don't count out that possibility, it's early yet.

Big O and the Ranting Racist Rev

No, we're not talking about orgasms.

Too bad the big media don't run more on this so we could forget it. But they won't and we won't either.

Of course, Big O doesn't agree with the rotten rev. They're just good buddies otherwise.

An $81 burger?

Well, at least they serve Tater Tots with it. Read it and weep, Sonic!

Damned if I wouldn't give that for an In-N-Out Burger. Having whipped into the drive-through after many a drunken night on the town in LA, I can well understand why Paris Hilton got busted while en route to that fine burger chain. Just wish they'd expand east.

One the little Jackson dyke would appreciate

Prior to the Easter recess, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was forced to intervene with Defense Secretary Robert Gates in order to get Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin’s domestic partner on a military flight for a congressional fact-finding trip to Europe. [Story here]

I say give the gomersexual a ride. Just don't give her a parachute.

Somewhat psychic

Wow, I'm getting all sorts of juxtapositions today. First I'm hit with a thought of my old Navy buddy, Robert Elledge, from the Missouri bootheel town of Caruthersville. I haven't seen Elledge in more than 30 years at the very least. The next moment I'm pounded by thoughts of Patrice Lumumba, first elected leader of the Congo back in '60, who was assassinated if memory doesn't fail me. I don't see Elledge and Lumumba being running mates.

What the hell is going down? I don't have a clue, but I know there has to be a connection somewhere, there always is.

A whole new bag of dumbass

Go here, click around to some of the blogs and comments and laugh your ass off. You talk about a bunch of ignorant, redneck mamahumpers, you'd be hard pressed to find a better example. Some of these assholes are beyond pathetic, especially that fag girl and most of those lefty perverts.

Have fun. It's free!

(I've turned comments on in case somebody has balls enough to say something.)

Response to film could be expected

Geert Wilders is being slammed right and left for his film on the Krapran Koran, as could pretty much be expected, with the UN head--as also could be expected--sticking in his worthless two-cents worth. The truth just can't be told nowadays, either because it offends too many worthless sons of dogs or because it doesn't jibe with the mass media's take on things and thus will never see the light of day.

I don't know what it's going to take to wake people up to the dangers these fools represent, possibly there's no way to do so. Society, American and otherwise, has simply gone around the bend at this point and there may be no turning back. If so, that's a pathetic end-game to progress.

Everybody folding in fear of the Islamic idiots

If you tried to view the video below, you'll note that it is no longer available at that original site. It was pulled because the operators of the site received death threats from the Islamic scum who support such gruesome atrocities as are depicted in the video, all of which are promoted in that rag they call the Koran, their so-called "Holy Book"--which is actually a degenerate piece of shit inspired by a paedophile son of a bitch.

You can Google the subject and still find it a place or two, at least temporarily. Certainly, most people are too afraid of these head-cutting corksuckers to leave it in place when threats are issued--and especially by malformed cretins known to follow up on threats.

So, terrorism IS working, sad to say. Lots of people are scared of them and that's what they scumbags are betting on.

I'm not. I'm not hard to find. Look me up, we'll see who kills who first, you filthy goat-plucking bastards.

Geert Wilders' film on the Koran

3-28-08: This is one you can't miss. It's about 16 minutes long, but well worth the time if you're interested in what the Koran is really all about and what sort of mayhem it has caused and will continue to cause if action isn't taken.

I just noticed this video has been put back in place by the site that was originally scared off. Maybe things are changing after all and everybody is not fearful of this scurlious sons of bitched!

Something a little nicer than usual

Can you imagine how good this 8-year-old kid will be someday? I can't.

A fantastic open letter to Obama

Read it all....

Telling it like it is

Nuff said.

Obama's new pastor is an idiot too

The new pastor at Barack Obama’s church used his first Easter sermon on Sunday to compare controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to Jesus’ death at the hands of the Romans.

Sunday’s sunrise sermon, delivered by Rev. Otis Moss III, was called “How to Handle a Public Lynching” and focused Primarily on the media firestorm that has focused international attention on this Chicago ministry, which is the church attended by the Democratic presidential candidate.

Where do they scrape up these maggots? Beats the hell out of me, but comparing Wright to Jesus on Easter Sunday will no doubt cause this dude to earn his own special section of Hell.

Obama the anti-Christ

Somewhere down in the deep, dark annals (anus?) of history, Barack Hussein Obama will take his well-deserved place as "the Great Divider." Not only does he have no ability to bring us together, but he seems intent on driving a wedge further between the races and the political spectrum of whites.

The old boy’s math is apparently defective. He doesn’t seem to understand that there are millions of people more than those who are either black or falling off the left side of the spectrum, or whites eaten up with guilt over what great-great-great-great granddaddy may have done to some slave a few centuries ago. Fortunately for America, those types make up somewhat less than the majority. Hell, I might as well add fortunately for civilization itself, because an Obama in charge would likely spell doom to that too, as he would surely cave in to every enemy that pokes its head up out of the sand.

I said recently that Obama’s contention that he had never heard his pastor say such horrid things was a dog that wouldn’t hunt. And I was right, because he admitted in his speech last week (the one that made the thighs of idiots like Chris Matthews tingle) that he had heard Wright make such statements. That just proves he’s a liar first and foremost, a man who will say whatever is necessary to reach his goal. And equating his old "typical white" grandmother’s fear of blacks on the streets to anything Wright has said was among the more unbelievable examples of the depths to which this fraud will sink in his quest to take on a job that is way too big for him.

And that "typical white" comment he made in reference to his grandmother, how smart was that? Sure, it may be true in some way, whites may feel uneasy when approached by a pack of blacks on the streets. Take a look at the crime statistics before you condemn that fear, because you will see that it is with some justification. Blacks are committing crimes way beyond their proportion to society, no amount of twisting facts will change that truth. In my part of the country, they commit the vast majority of crime, especially violent crimes. According to the black so-called leaders, white lefties and other apologists, that’s because they have been oppressed and shat upon, held down and tormented by evil white society. Law enforcement singles them out for special attention. The courts sentence them more harshly than whites charged with similar crimes. They just can’t get a break.

Well, that’s what happens when a large segment of a society comes to depend more on entitlements than on hard work, on affirmative action rather than struggling to actually deserve a place in college. Blacks can make it in this world and many do, because they put forth the effort and don’t expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. They make their own breaks and achieve through effort, or, in the cases of men like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, are cunning enough to feed forever at the trough supplied by foolish people who deify them and hold them up as examples of, well, I’m not sure exactly what.

We keep hearing about Obama’s "brilliance" but I haven’t seen it yet. The only thing approaching brilliance I’ve seen is his ability to lay a complete snow job on a lot of feeble-minded white liberals, but then again that doesn’t take too much effort in most cases. For a man reputed to be so smart, he makes one stupid gaff after another, to the point where now he has lost his big popularity edge over Hillary "Rotten" Clinton, if we can put any faith in the polls.

Of course, most of the mainstream media is giving him a total pass on everything. None of the big papers or TV networks have reported on his pastor’s "God damn America" statement in any depth, or much else of what the malignant nut has said. You can bet that had a Republican been involved in such a mess it would be front page news for weeks on end; remember Trent Lott and how he lost his leadership post for statements made while wishing an old former senator with a checkered racial past a happy birthday? The Dems have their old, senile former KKK man too, Robert Byrd, but he gets a pass as well, and has practically everything of importance in West Virginia (whatever the hell that might be) named in his honor.

Is Barack Hussein Obama the anti-Christ? There are 18 characters in his name. Six goes into 18 three times. 666.

You do the math. (Takes you back to the days of "Ronald Wilson Reagan" doesn't it?)

WRONG!

Pastor Wright has no character to assassinate! He is a living, breathing piece of fecal matter.

Trying to fool the fools

Who in hell does Obama think he’s kidding? He’s been a member of that nutty church for 20 years and only recently discovered Pastor Wright was a raving anti-white, anti-American lunatic and race monger?

That dog won’t hunt. The old saying that you can pretty well judge a fellow by the company he keeps is right on. Obama knows exactly what kind of man Wright is, just as he knows another of his friends is a former violent radical and another a rich thug. He can’t separate himself from this no matter how hard he tries, though in truth the mainstream media is going to give him a pass and barely cover the situation anyway.

No wonder Michelle Obama recently became "proud of America" for the first time in 44 years and only because her husband is running for president. She no doubt believes exactly the same things Wright believes--that it’s "God damn America" instead of "God bless America." Disgusting.

Getting what he deserves...

May the rotten bastard twist slowly in the wind.

How crazy can we get?

Insanity.

More insanity.

And yet more insanity.

Sadly, one could spend days--or probably the rest of a lifetime--posting such links. To say that humanity has developed a bad case of feces for brains would be putting it mildly. The world has turned to such a politically-correct, nanny-state mentality that personal freedom is in far more dire straits than anything imposed upon us by George Bush. Actually, the real danger seems to be coming from further down the scale, in the realm of petty bureaucrats and small-time wannabe dictators on local levels.

This madness will have to stop one of these days. I'm not sure what it will take, but I have a good idea. If you think for a minute, perhaps the same thing will occur to you.

I have a better idea...

Just use a politician.
