Setting Limits on Government

We all need limits.  Limits on speed in our cars, how late our children should be out and how much we should drink at the local pub.  But who sets the limits on spending by the federal government?  For the past few decades it seems nobody.
 
Now, I'm a huge fan of Ronald Reagan but for all his leadership in massive achievements, what was the one thing he couldn't accomplish?  Get a democRAT-controlled Congress of spenthrifts to reign in federal spending in the 1980's.  Leftist demagogues will blame deficits of the 80's on tax-cuts but those with more brains than a houseplant know this just isn't so.  Reagan tax-cuts more than doubled revenues to the U.S. Treasury by the end of Reagan's term.
 
No, no.  It was runaway spending by a gargantuan federal "government gone wild" which gave us deficits you can believe in!  In 1989, our total federal debt was about 2.5 trillion dollars.  Today it stands at 12.4 trillion, an increase of 500%.  Where do we set the limit folks?
 
Recently, I stumbled across a worn-out, forgotten book at a used book store.  Its pages yellowed from the effects of age, this book would make an impact on me so massive that I lie awake at night thinking about it.  The concepts espoused within this book are as applicable today as they were 20 years ago.  Why?  Because the subject matter is Constitutionally limited government.
 
When Lewis K. Uhler wrote "Setting Limits: Constitutional Control of Government" in 1989, I doubt he knew he was writing a book that should and WILL become the "BIBLE FOR THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT" in America.  I urge those who believe in this movement to pick up the book and be blown away by how prescient Uhler was in his analysis.  The book could have been written yesterday!
 
Lest you get any ideas...... No, I'm not shilling for Lewis Uhler, I don't even know the man.  But I sure as heck would love to sit down and have lunch with him while discussing MY favorite subject:  How to save America from utter financial ruin.  He's a fascinating intellectual and Constituionalist who never received the attention he deserved.
 
America best pay him attention before it's too late.

New Year Meat 'n Taters

2010 is 1/12 over and Mister Meat and Taters has yet to endeavor in any works of polemic creativity.  Awww shucks, I reckon it's time for some Meat 'n Taters.  Allow me to gloat a little and taunt the disingenuous leftists who frequent this site.

My my folks, what a difference a year makes.  One year ago, we were discussing what a disaster the GOP had become after the Bush presidency.  Jonah Goldberg penned that column in the "USE-Less Today" (i.e. USA Today) stating that Republicans had to find their soul and connect with the voters.  I believed otherwise folks and if you don't believe me, go back and read the archives.

I knew then that what I know now.  That this electorate is sickeningly ignorant and when voters become this disconnected they vote for whatever "flash in the pan" looks good at the moment.  People adopt a "follow the herd mentality" which results in wild election swings from year to year.  A year ago, democRATs were the darlings of the electorate and today? It seems as if they are unable to win an election after shellackings in VA, NJ and my ex-homestate of MA.  Bottom line: More education of this electorate is sorely needed if we intend to save the country before disaster strikes.

What do I mean by disaster?  Well take a look at the U.S. Debt Clock and realize that the national debt has increased by a factor of 5 since 1989.  Realize that our latest bubble to burst, the mortgage bubble was financed with printed "fiat" currency.  Also realize that the next bubble to burst someday will be our Debt Bubble and the result will be?  HYPER-INFLATION

IT COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME FOLKS.  Once the Asian central banks realize they no longer need to peg their currencies to the US dollar, we will see a crash in value that will make the little smiley face at "China-Mart" quite busy.  But he won't be rolling back the prices, he'll be rolling them forward and at a pace that will make you cringe for sure.

Terrorism? The least of our worries.

While I'm busy battling both the "global warming" and the terrorists attempting to blow up my plane today....some other thoughts.
 
By the end of today, your federal government (also known here as the gargantuan juggernaut) will hire hundreds if not thousands more workers.  Unelected bureaucrats and their minnions will work tirelessly to continue building a government that is neither "of the people" nor "by the people" and it is certainly no longer "for the people".
 
No, no. Today's government is FOR the "entitlement-class".  The community organizers at ACORN, the welfare recipients, the illegal aliens who select 1 for spanish, the single moms with multiple kids by multiple dads who are nowhere to be found and the bitter malcontents who infest the democRAT party.  But don't worry, as a member of the "hard working-class" in America you aren't the least bit forgotten.....
 
After all, you're required to pay all the bills. 
 
Imagine the kind of country we could have today if wealth was invested in the private sector to manufacture things for the rest of the world to consume, instead of being squandered in the government sector with wasteful bureaucracy that produces NOTHING?  Take a look at our supposedly rising GDP and you'll see that exports make up a small portion of it.  We've replaced production for the rest of the world with consumption of our own resources via government programs and wasteful pork-barrel projects.  Not to mention unbridled consumerism which encourages people to live in debt rather than be thrifty, save and invest.
 
I see a painful path for America in 2010, this year was just the beginning.

The Informer is just "warming up".

The Informer has been on a much needed sebatacle of late due to a need to get out of the internet world and join the real world. About a month ago, I disconnected my cable internet and started enjoying my days off away from the computer. I engaged in meeting people from my community and discovered new opportunities to do what I do best:
 
"Be the lead Grassroots Trooper against ignorance and the tyranny it enables."
 
We sure have seen examples of tyranny while under the leadership of three Marxist demagogue malcontents all year long.  The most recent example of such lawless tyranny was an announcement yesterday by EPA chief, Lisa Jackson that CO2 (that's carbon dioxide, a harmless, odorless and colorless gas) will henceforth be treated as a pollutant and be regulated in accordance with the Clean Air Act of 1970.
 
Keep in mind that the genesis of this debilitating debacle yesterday (which will cripple what's left of our manufacturing economy, mind you) was a decision in a Supreme Court case by an activist, rogue court.  In Massachusetts v. EPA, the SCOTUS justices chose to become meteorologists and shed their black robes for a session.  These "Supreme Climatologists" chose to believe alleged science and determine that man-made warming of the planet was a fact.  Perhaps they would decide the case differently in the wake of hacked emails, two weeks ago which show us how global temperature data is being doctored or hidden entirely to support a leftist political agenda.
 
One of President Bush's greatest achievements was to reform the rogue Rehndquist court by replacing Rehndquist and O'Connor with two justices who look to the Constitution with an "originalist" intent.  Sure we got sucker-punched by Dumbo the Puppet with Sotomayor but she replaced another liberal so it was a wash.  Here's what I say we do to counter the utterly preposterous announcement by the EPA.....
 
We get one of the Constitutional and traditional states in the union to SUE the EPA again!  That's right, we find a state that will sue the EPA not over their inaction of enforcing CO2 levels but due to yesterday's action in announcing enforcement.  Since my ex-homestate of Massachusetts (which I escaped from 10 years ago...Thank God!) is responsible for the original lawsuit, I see it only fitting that my NEW homestate of Tennessee be responsible for saving America from this scourge of Executive and Judicial branch corruption.
 
You'll also remember that Tennessee was the state that saved the union in 2000 by rejecting the "Inconvenient Windbag", Algore who consumes 20 times more power at his Carthage, TN mansion in one month than most of us do all year!  What sweeter justice would be achieved than to have the Volunteer State offer up a stinging rebuke to this hypocrite who we call the "Tennessee Two-by-Four".
 
As all of us freeze our buns off in Knoxville and still see snow that fell December 5th on our lawns, I'm making an appeal to everyone and anyone who has a connection to the state's Attorney General.  File a lawsuit now with a simple premise:
 
"Setting and enforcing carbon dioxide limits by the EPA is not only stupid but it is unlawful.  It will kill Tennessee's essential manufacturing sector at a time when our economic situation is already quite dire."
 
Now, let this lawsuit make it all the way to a much different Supreme Court.

Reagan legacy endures: the Berlin Wall

You probably won't hear much about it in the dying or dead "dinosaur media" but Monday is the 20 anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.  Disingenuous leftists will say it's just a coincidence that this glorious historical event occurred right after 8 years of Reagan but the honest folks in American know the real truth.  Peace was brought about by maintaining a position of strength.  How I wish President Obama would understand this oh so simple concept!
 
In honor of this 20th anniversary and in my neverending attempt to educate, I'm reposting an entry I posted on the 22nd anniversary of the now famous Reagan speech with that memorable line that only the Gipper could deliver with ease. :-)
 
"Mr. Gorbachev....Tear down this wall"
June 12th 2009
by Sean Plankey (aka The Informer)
 
Today is the 22nd anniversary of Ronald Reagan's famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate by the Berlin Wall.  Probably one of the coolest interviews I've ever listened to concerning this subject was by Bill Bennet on his "Morning in America" radio show.  He interviewed the man who wrote that speech for Reagan, one Peter Robinson.  You owe it to yourself to savor this interview from June 12, 2007.  Also, look up Peter Robinson's book "How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life".  You will find that one of the biggest opponents to the famous line, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" was none other than a Republican party traitor named Colin Powell.  You see folks, Powell was a subversive force going back 22 years.  I know.....you are simply shocked! :-)

Not much else to say today, except that Letterman is still a schmuck.  The good thing is that defenders on the left-wing in America have rushed to his side and this will expose them as the unprincipled hacks who pedal a counter-culturalist agenda.  Hopefully more people will turn against them (hands together in prayer).  We can only hope that there are still some standards left or American society is in deep do-do, that's for sure.
 
Letterman is offering up the defense that he thought the older daughter was at the game with Sarah Palin so making the comment about her getting "knocked up by A-Rod" was ok.  Well not really but why did it take 2 days to come up with that new and improved excuse?  I swear this guy is as dumb as he is irresponsible.  I hope his ratings tank and the only people left watching him are the shameless vermin who have absolutely no scruples whatsoever. 
 
One group that will not rush to Letterman's defense is airline flight attendants (their union is the AFA).  As an airline pilot who is entering his 9th year of service, I am OUTRAGED on behalf of flight attendants who are both unappreciated and underpaid.  Exactly what makes a flight attendant look slutty Mr. Letterman?  You ought to be ashamed of yourself and offer up an apology to the AFA but you have no shame so they won't be expecting one.  If I were Letterman, I'd be awfully apologetic and careful the next time he flies first class on a domestic airline flight, if you catch my drift.
 
Now moving on, here's an article in Pravda that really resonated with me.  It's about the fall of capitalism in America and will really make you think a second time or scare the living dogsqueeze out of you!

It's just a matter of time...

Anyone of my Grassroot Troopers remember this progression of a free society through time?
 
1. from bondage to spiritual faith
2. from spiritual faith to great courage
3. from courage to liberty
4. from liberty to abundance
5. from abundance to complacency
6. from complacency to apathy
7. from apathy to dependence
8. From dependence back into bondage
 
I believe we spent the first half of the 20th century in the 4th phase. Something happened in the late 1950's as we slipped into phase 5. Perhaps life became too easy in America due to massive prosperity and the carefree living that Americans experienced.  But nothing demonstrates the slide of America's electorate toward apathy and ignorance more than the stinging defeat of Barry Goldwater in 1964.
 
Imagine a Reagan-esque, Constitution-loving conservative like Goldwater losing to a scoundrel like LBJ?  He mismanaged a "police action" in Vietnam that was started under false pretenses and dragged on for 8 years, costing 58,000 lives. He pushed through socialistic monstrosities like the Great Society and Medicare.  These creations will ultimately drag America into the ash heap of history unless we repeal them, of this I am positive.  Look at the US debt clock and you'll see that the unfunded liability of future Medicare costs are in the neighborhood of $73,500,000,000,000.  This amount of money can never be paid.....ever.
 
The American electorate has moved quickly through phase 6 in the 1990's under Bill Clinton. Nobody cared about the desecration of the Oval Office or the subversion of the Justice System by its highest law enforcement officer, the President.  The spectre of terrorism was on the horizon with numerous attacks on our embassies and military installations, yet nobody cared.  This apathy brought us to 9/11, where we woke up as a nation for about 2 months.  Then it was back to sleep for many of our fellow Americans.
 
A massive financial calamity has scared people to the point where we've moved into phase 7.  In this phase, people who are so ignorant they can't even name their own Senators, are looking to the government for salvation.  How ironic!  By socializing the mortgage, energy and banking industries over DECADES with heaps of controlling regulations, elected leaders are the ones responsible for most of the problems we face today. This is like asking the arsonist to come and put out the fire he's started!  People like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd gladly run in to wield more power and seize more control.  Which leads America now into phase 8.
 
"From dependence back into bondage."  Nothing will facilitate this better than a destruction of our currency.  It's just a matter of time my friend......

U.S. Debt Clock: Blow your mind!

One of my "Meat and Potatoes Loyalists" sent me this link to the "U.S. Debt Clock" and I lost track of time while staring at it for a full 10 minutes.  I was mesmerized by the massive array of financial statitistics ticking their way inexorably higher and higher. Out of control!
 
So, grab yourself an adult beverage (mixed as strong as you can stand it) and have a gander at this tasty little treat.  It will amaze you and will make you think a second time about the massive hole this country's VOTERS have dug over the past 70 years.  Notice I didn't say the past 8 years (Bush 43) or the past 30 years, etc.  The foundation for these financial problems was "dug and poured" during the era of that great, lionized socialist hero of the left: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Think about him and LBJ when you look down at the bottom right hand corner and see "UNFUNDED LIABILITIES' of 105 TRILLION dollars. 
 
Some provocative and scary Meat and Potatoes Blog predictions from past blogs before you view the U.S. Debt Clock:
 
1) We will NEVER repay our debt to China and other countries. We will DEFAULT on that debt either by a declaration of bankruptcy or by paying China back with printed "funny money" i.e. worthless currency.  In effect, doing that would be a "de-facto default" anyways.
 
2) We will not get our budget and entitlement disaster in order until a financial calamity of frightening magnitude occurs. This could involve our country being taken over financially or even militarily by a foreign power, maybe China....who knows.
 
3) The US dollar WILL collapse at some point in the future, of this I am certain.  At that point, the country will have no choice but to redefine our currency and start off at some new, arbitrary point with a "NEW" dollar.  Or join a global currency where we trade our US dollars for a lesser amount of theirs.  Either way, the savers in our society will be harshly punished unless WE get out of the US dollar.
 
Look at California, the state is bankrupt.  There has always been a saying "As California goes, so goes the rest of America." This axiom could not find greater truth than it does in today's America in decline.

Give Pelosi another DEM (NY-23)

Oh the wringing of hands.... Hoffman can't win so let's get behind Dede Scozzafava, the "Republican" candidate for NY-23 House seat.
 
I say "Damn the torpedoes, Full Speed Ahead!" If Hoffman splits the vote because the voters in Watertown, Massena, Potsdam, Ogdensburg and Plattsburgh are too damn ignorant to know a good conservative when they see one, SO BE IT!
 
Let Nancy have her additional House seat and with it perhaps she can ram through more socialistic monstrosities which have done so much to help our economy.  You know, like the TARP legislation, the "Stimulus package" (i.e. Pork-ulus) and other bail-outs gone wild!
 
I've said it before and I will say it again.  This may sound cold-hearted and mean but this country will not wake-up until it experiences massive pain.  And when I say pain I mean crushing taxes at all levels, massive unemployment, a devalued US dollar and a severe drop in our standard of living. We've had it too good for too long in this country and with all the great gadgets and technology, especially cable tv, why pay attention to spendthrifts in Washington, D.C.?  Besides, "that stuff doesn't affect any of us anyways".  Yeah.....rite.
 
So let a good percentage of NY-23 remain in a state of "political hibernation".  As the chickens come home to roost in the future, these same people WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BLAME CONSERVATISM!  Why?  Because they didn't turn to it when they needed it most!
 
Principle over pragmatism, that is the choice we face.  Hoffman is the principled choice, so easy a caveman could figure it out.

Personal Message for Upstate NY-23

You wouldn't guess it by my intolerance for cold weather but there was a time when this "flyboy turned blogger" loved lake effect snow and cold temperatures.  Early in this flying "career", my job with a contractor for Key Bank would take me to remote places most people probably never heard of like Watertown and Plattsburgh.  This was back when the AFB was just being shut-down and the monstrous tower at Forestport still blinked away in the early morning sky.  I would take off each morning at 0400 from Albany County (ALB) bound for Watertown (ART), a 50 minute flight in the venerable C-310(R).
 
Once I passed Gloversville, it got real lonely except for that "garden weed" blinking in the distance.  After I passed Forestport, I knew I was more than halfway and so long as the icing didn't get too bad on my wings, I could make it across the Tug Hill Plateau, all the way to Watertown.  A final check of the weather with Flight Service would tell me if an immediate divert was necessary to Oneida County off my left wing-tip.  The weather was always the same, overcast, 1/2 mile visibility in blowing snow with a stiff northwesterly wind of 20 knots or so. "Who would ever live in a place like this..." I thought to myself as I told Boston Center that I had the weather.
 
I'd pass the prison to the southeast, glowing like a beacon beneath me and radio Brouty Air Service "Here comes Cokie, let the couriers know guys" and announce on the Unicom frequency "How's that runway looking down there? You plow it yet? I'm 10 out." Center would vector me for another "routine" ILS approach to runway 7 as the ice began to sling off of my props.  Sounding like "little trolls" on the outside of my aircraft, each tap of their hammer reminded me to check my propeller de-icing and let just enough ice build up on my wings before "blowing the boots".  Soon I was on final approach as I gave the "plow guys" one last reminder, "Cokie947 is on final, get clear of the runways, here I come!"  Every approach and landing was a challenge at Watertown and it says something about this region.
 
Extreme Upstate NY is no place for sissys.  It's a place for rugged individuals who get going when the going gets tough.  I met plenty of people from the area during my flights not only to Watertown but to Potsdam, Ogdensburg and Plattsburgh.  I even got to know one Clinton County resident really good.  The former AFB commander and an FB-111 pilot, we used to share a drink or two at the hotel bar (with plenty of time bottle to throttle, mind you) and swap stories.  This guy was one tough ole codger I tell you and we'd oftentimes talk about my favorite subject: Politics.
 
I'd like to think that Col. Ross McLean (USAF-ret.) and his downhome brethren would be supporting the conservative candidate Doug Hoffman in the special election for the U.S. House of Representatives this November 3rd.  Hoffman epitomizes the ruggedness I spoke of earlier.  The folks in the Tug Hill Plateau and beyond don't look to Washington for "bailouts" like the one Dede Scozzafava supported last January and rest assured, Hoffman won't be voting for ANY of them.
 
Hoffman knows what a regular, downhome "flyboy in the Smokies" knows.  That the time for stopping the insanity in our Nation's Capital is NOW!  The debt is massive, the Federal Government has pushed way past its Constitutional limitations and the rest of the world is now watching to see whether voters have the gumption to ACT.  You can vote for more bail-outs, more socialism and more spending but that won't help your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.  All it will do is make the eventual collapse of our country and its currency an inevitable outcome.  Please pass this message along to someone in the 23rd district of NY and if you see Col. McLean, tell him one of his fellow "freight dogs" was talking about him.  All good, of course.

NRA...What in tarnation are you doing?

I was just advised (much to my chagrin) that the National Rifle Association (NRA) is supporting the LIBERAL poser Republican, Dede Scozzafava for the House race in NY-23.  This is a major dissapointment as I'm a lifetime member of the NRA and champion its cause every day of my life.  Not only do I have NRA stickers all over my Flightcase at work but they're all over my cars too, including my 2000 Chevy Corvette.  What in the world are you people at the NRA thinking???? 
 
The only acceptable answer is that the NRA is being politically pragmatic.  They don't think Hoffman has a shot and they don't dare be on the wrong side of the fence (supporting him) in the event Scozzafava wins the race.  They know that in the event Hoffman wins, he'll of course be STRONG IN DEFENDING THE SECOND AMENDMENT LIKE ANY GOOD CONSERVATIVE! :-)~
 
The NRA is simply "playing the odds" as they say and can you blame them?  Damn right I can blame them.  They ought to "stick to their guns" and have a little gumption like us Southerners!  The times we face are too grave for political pragmatism ya'll, come on!

NO MORE REPUSSICANS New York!

I just donated $250 of my hard earned cash to a Congressional race over 1,000 miles from my home.  The race pits one traditional-Constitutionalist (i.e. Conservative) vs.2 liberals running for an open House seat in the 23rd district of NY.  The twist? One of the liberals is running as a Republican.
 
Many of you know that I have a name for such wolves in sheep's clothing, they are REPUSSICANS.  They are the worst enemy of our movement back towards limited government and a responsible Federal budget. Why you may ask?
 
Because they cloak their real intentions under the title of being a "Republican".  In doing so, they undermine what being a Republican used to mean in America.  Even worse, they give "debate ammunition" to leftist charlatans for use against conservatives in the future.
 
Example:  "Look at your Republicans Mr. Meat and Taters. Hagle, Lugar, Graham and Chaffee ALL voted for huge deficits."
 
When confronted with this line, all I can do in the midst of hot debate is utter a sigh and admit, "Yes, you're right, we have alot of REPUSSICANS on our side that need to be gotten rid of!"  Thankfully Hagle and Chaffee are gone by the way! :-)~
 
So, let's force the Republican party to be responsible and CONSTITUTIONAL again and how do we do so?  By keeping a wolf in sheep's clothing like Dede Scozzafava out of the U.S. Congress.  Support the CONSERVATIVE:  Doug Hoffman. 
 
 
The race is in 10 days, we have little time to act my fellow Grassroots Troopers.  Please send in your contribution now!

The Heartbeat of America...Cullman, AL-style

A periodic bout of insomnia struck last night so I flipped on the "tube" just in time to catch a trendy and entertaining show on Fox News Channel called "RedEye". Meat & Potatoes Loyalists will recall from past entries that I'm a big fan of the show and its host Greg Gutfeld. Let me give you a classic line from the show that had me on the verge of coughing up a lung!
 
As Gutfeld was introducing a comedian on the show:  "He's funnier than a mime being bludgeoned to death by a bunch of Keebler elves."
 
The episode was an excellent one as it featured George Wendt (Norm on "Cheers") and Ann Coulter but the best part for me was a commercial featuring a small business in Cullman, Alabama that buys, sells and moves mobile homes.  Notice I did not say "trailers"! :-)  Today, I found the same commercial on Youtube and have watched it about 10 times now. The question is....Why?
 
I think it's because these people intrigue me. They are an example of the hard working, downhome patriots who toil away in small businesses and are being absolutely crushed by the direction President Obama is taking our nation's economy.  As Rush Limbaugh would say:  "These are the people that make the country work."  I call them (to steal a Chevy slogan) "The Heartbeat of America".
 
Have a gander at some folks in "flyover country" and see if they don't entertain the puddin's out of ya, just like Mr. Meat and Taters!
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-RLqLx1iYI
 
One final note, I'm willing to bet a dollar to a donut that Mr. Robert Lee is a card carrying NRA member and has a radio nearby tuned to WVNN 770AM in Huntsville.  No doubt some trailers, uh I mean "mobile homes" are moved to the melodius voice of Mark Levin!

A casualty of the "Information War"

By now, the news has spread across the land that Rush Limbaugh will only be associated with the NFL as a couch-potato-style fan.  Why? Because he became a casualty of the "Information War" last night around 1900 hours.
 
St. Lous Blues owner, Dave Checketts pulled Limbaugh's name from the list of buyers for the St. Louis Rams football team last night after a well coordinated "smear campaign" against Limbaugh reached a crescendo that was absolutely deafening.  Commentators lined up one after another on such doggedly accurate cable news channels as CNN and MSNBC to fuel the smear and watch it grow.  Even a U.S. Congressman, Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) took the time to go up on the floor of the People's House in Washington and opine about Rush Limbaugh.  As if this woman doesn't have bigger fish currently frying on her plate.  What a joke!
 
You may not remember but it was 2 years ago that Limbaugh was the target of another smear and it went in Rush's favor in the end. The attack was launched by Senate Majority Leader Harry "the Body" Reid (D-NV) and concerned a comment Rush made on his show about "phony soldiers" posing as Iraq War Veterans for the news media to gain interviews.  Harry Reid drafted a letter from the United States Senate to admonish Limbaugh for "disrespecting our fine soldiers" and got 42 democRAT Senators to sign the letter including none other than candidate for President, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
 
Upon witnessing this incredible event, I realized in October 2007 that America was embroiled in a "War" that dwarfed the War on Terror or any other war we've fought in our nation's history.  This "war" is fought over information, over what is the TRUTH in America.  If a representative republic like ours becomes divided over what is the truth, its days become numbered.
 
The absolute travesty of justice that yanked Rush Limbaugh from possible ownership of the St. Louis Rams is yet another battle in what I called the "Information Wars" over 2 years ago.  Read on and see if I wasn't on target like a cruise missile!

Funny quips to ponder

On the Economy which is still melting down:
The way this economy is bleeding jobs, we're going to need a tourniquet! How about it "Doctor Obama", will you stop the bleeding before we run out of plasma?  The plasma would be printed funny money from the Federal Reserve, of course.  Which reminds me.....
 
On the dollar which is falling precipitously:
The way Obama is going, we'll be burning US dollars in our woodstoves this winter instead of wood!  It'll be cheaper!
 
On the Nobel Peace Prize announcement today:
Giving Obama a Nobel Peace Prize is like giving Bill Clinton an award for having stellar Family Values!

Halloween: A democRAT party holiday

The recent release of an interview with two black women in Detroit on WJR/760am proves something many of us have known since the mid-90's.  That the democRAT party has created a "dependency class" in our society of people who loyally vote democRAT each and every election in exchange for government handouts.  When you listen to this interview, keep in mind that these women haven't a clue about political issues whatsoever, yet their vote counts just as much as yours.  I wonder if both of these women have ever worked for that wonderful, patriotic organization known as A.C.O.R.N.?  You know, the one that is under fire for trying to help a 20 year old woman set up a brothel using illegal aliens as prostitutes.
 
Here is an audio recording of the interview.  If you don't like the Rush Limbaugh website just google the following: "Ken Rogulski interview on WJR" and you'll find dozens of other sources. Enjoy!

This irrefutable proof (even for lying statist scoundrels who only want to make more people dependent on government) shows everyone how Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" has destroyed people's desire to establish goals and work hard to achieve them.  Along with it, their lives and families have been destroyed as well.  When the central focus in your life is lining up to receive a government check, I would say there isn't much else you have to live for but that's just me folks!
 
Keep in mind my Funny democRAT slogan: "We get our voters the old-fashioned way....we BRIBE them!"  Only funny because it's true.
 
Halloween is coming up soon and I say we pass legislation to make it a democRAT party holiday.  Makes sense doesn't it?  After all, what really happens on Halloween?  You have people walking around neighborhoods, asking for FREE HANDOUTS from people they don't even know.....
 
Sounds like a democRAT party celebration to me! :-)~
