Tell YOU what I'm sick of...

Ever notice how it's a new book every week out of the conservative establishment and they have a free mouthpiece at their beckon call (in the form of talk radio) with which to pump up the sales?  I'm getting sick of it, whether it be Coulter, Ingraham, Levin, Beck or others.  When books start coming out as often as albums by cheesy 80's hair bands, I start feeling like an easy mark and say "No Thanks".

Remember when I said Newt Gingrich was not only one of the shortest pres. candidates in recent memory but that his campaign would be one of the shortest as well?  Well, that prediction is indeed coming to fruition, just check the headlines about people fleeing his team like proverbial rats.  Newt's time has come and gone, stick a fork in him and you'll see.

No no, we need fresh leadership with an emphasis on Constitutionally LIMITED GOV'T and it must come from the "3 Constitutional Amigos": Herman Cain, Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann.  We don't elect one of those 3 and we are toast as a nation.  Actually, we may already be toast but why get depressed over it just yet! :-)

As a rule, I don't let friends vote for Republican governors from BLUE states so that knocks out "poser conservatives" like Romney and Pawlenty.  Sorry Rick Santorum, you're a great guy, a great social conservative and a budding talk radio host but you're candidacy just doesn't have the juice!  As far as John Huntsman goes....who's he?  Rumors abound that Chris Christie and Rick Perry will jump in and test the waters but these are just rumors for speculation by talking heads such as Charles Kraut-meister.

Oh and one more thing, whatever you do.....never listen to a democRAT putz like Pat Caddell.  This worn-out, has been gets on the Sean Hannity Show and rips into everyone under the sun to include Herman Cain by calling him a "pizza guy".  When you hear someone refer to Cain in this fashion, just look 'em in the eye and ask:  "Are you that un-American to have something against PIZZA?"

Screw Pat Caddell.....

An Un-Constitutional Weiner (aka NY's very own jacka$$)

Remember when I wrote that Congressman Tony "Soprano" Weiner (democRAT-NY) was the most aptly named rep. that I could think of in US Congressional history?  Well, the truculent, obnoxious, un-Constitutional, weiner-esque, leftist political hack is in hot water.  Or is he..... Don't get your hopes too high.
 
We all know the sickening double-standard which exists in today's "lamestream" media.  They almost always pile-on for an orgy when the transgression is committed by a Republican (especially a conservative) but when the perp is a liberal democRAT, suddenly the people's work is of the utmost importance and not to be upstaged by a silly pecadillo of absolute insignificance!  How'd I do with the re-creation of disingenuous leftist hack talking points?  Lord knows I've been listening to enough of their tripe for DECADES......uggh!
 
Enough with the Weiner-talk, we have a much more pressing issue to discuss.  I will say in closing that Tony "Soprano" Weiner is a schmuck and the voters in his district should be absolutely ashamed of their ignorant vote.....jackasses!  If the Obama justice department does NOT investigate this alleged hacking incident, it will be yet another travesty of crookedness to fill an already bulging file.
 
Moving along to the big story:  Did you see the groundbreaking vote last night on RAISING THE DEBT LIMIT?  We had 97 suicidal spending democRAT dorks actually vote in favor of raising it with no spending cuts or other conditions to get this gargantuan juggernaut of a federal government under control.  Currently our debt is so massive that if we paid it back at the rate of $10,000,000,000 (ten billion) per year, it would take 1,500 years not including the interest.  Sadly folks, we are so screwed and these 97 democRAT jacka$$es either don't get it or secretly desire a collapse of our finances with a resulting collapse in the civil society.  I've written over a year ago that I truly believe there are people in the democRAT party who want to collapse the country as their ultimate recipe for totalitarianism.  Sorry!
 
My conservative, "tax and spend" fighting mentor out in northern California named Lewis Uhler has been fighting these maniacal statists for over 40 years.  His organization is called the National Tax Limitation Committee and I urge you to join it for free, just go to NTLC.ORG and check out his site.  Lew is the undisputed "Father" of the Balanced Budget Amendment to our country's Constitution and with the help of such greats as Milton Friedman and Walter Williams, he almost made it a reality in 1982.  Unfortunately, a statist democRAT from my homestate of Massachusetts (I'm ashamed of it but of course I had no choice in the matter) named Tip O'Neil was able to block it.
 
I am urging ALL patriotic, mature members of our Congress to hold the line on raising this debt limit.  Every time it comes up, vote it down and do it with glee!  Then get your butts out there on camera and EDUCATE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE just like Lew Uhler did in his book "Setting Limits: Constitutional Control of Government".  This book is 22 years old but it could have been written yesterday!
 
Not raising the debt limit is, in effect, a de-facto Balanced Budget Amendment.  Tip O'Neil may have blocked fiscal responsibility in '82 but he's now keeping company with the other Bay State drunk, Teddy Kennedy and neither of them can hurt us any longer.  So be of good cheer America, keep up the fight and let's make Constitution-loving patriots proud of our government once again.

Obama really IS "the Joker"!

Remember an artistic creation that got some fella in a big ole pot of hot water?  Dumbo the Obama dressed up as "The Joker"....it was classic!  There was even a version that had the word "RESIGN" printed above, my personal favorite. :-)
 
Well Obama surely has lived up to the reputation of being a joker and it's an absolute disgrace.  Some thoughts about his conduct lately, whether it be the non-stop gloating over Osama, lying about the situation on our southern border or inviting a rapper thug to the White House so he can read "poetry" to children.
 
Obama has become the NEW "Sham-WOW" guy.  He puts on a daily SHAM and the ignorant jackasses go "WOWWW!"  I mean it's one lie after another with this crowd, whether it be "Be-Silly-Us" (Sebelius), Eric Holder or that bolo-wearing fool Ken Salazar.  In fact, if LIARS were airplanes, the White House would be busier than Atlanta-Hartsfield!  One more (hee hee) Obama gives such a good snow job, he could fill in for the COLD MISER from that famous kids' CHRISTmas cartoon. 
 
Encore please?  Obama spreads manure so well, he could work at a horse farm and never need an assistant! Ok, well maybe we could team him up with that detestable "Horse Manure Salesman" in Congress, Steny Hoyer (D-MD).
 
Obama is in FULL re-election mode with the pedal to the metal!  As such he will love the military, love free-market capitalism and sport a lapel flag-pin so huge, it will make your eyeballs dance.  Dumbo the Obama must be denigrated each and every day.

Don't be a chump...just like Trump!

I was looking forward to the 2012 presidential race, that was until the media started giving Donald Trump 24/7 access to the news cycle!  Let's face it, "the Donald" is everywhere and he's starting to sound like a broken record....or should I say CD?  His message is sophomoric, his talking points banal and now predictable, yet the media continue to give him a sickening tonguebath.  Why you may ask?
 
Because the media wants to distract you from the utter disaster that is the Obama administration.  Trashing the country on every front, these Marxist malcontents have attacked every American institution and will not stop until our society is permanently transformed for the worst.  Obama has come to divide the country on race, ethnicity, class and even religion.  He (and his leftist media accomplices) will use the race and class warfare rhetoric as his ultimate battering ram of destruction. 
 
Meanwhile, some very good Republican candidates are starting to appear on the horizon.  They're visiting early caucus states and making speeches.  Of course, the leftist media charlatans don't want you paying attention to people who can save the country from financial and cultural doom. No, no!  They want you fixated on a "poser candidate" who sports a hairdo that only George Stephanopolous could be proud of!   In case you're wondering which GOP candidates I speak of, let's refer to them as the "3 Constitutionalists" for now.
 
1) Herman Cain
2) Sarah Palin
3) Michele Bachmann
 
Now, before you start moaning, groaning, freaking out or uttering expletives....HEAR ME OUT!  The reason this country is failing and falling from grace towards the ashbin of history is simply this:
 
We have gotten away from our Founding principles of LIMITED, CONSTITUTIONAL government. 
 
These principles paved the way for American capitalism and created the greatest economic superpower in the history of the world.  In doing so, they elevated the standard of living FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD by inventing and innovating in ways nobody anywhere else could have dreamed for centuries or perhaps even forever.  I know it sounds haughty but it's true dammit!
 
As the great (and still kicking, incidentally) Constitutionalist, Lew Uhler has stated so eloquently in his books, the federal government USED TO BE a referee in the game of American capitalism.  Somewhere in the early 20th century, the federal government took off the referees' uniforms and put on players' uniforms.  Once our government did that, we began to falter and flail about like a ship lost as sea.  We kept it hidden by the creation of "Bubble Economies" thanks to the Federal Reserve but just like a drug, it sadly no longer works for us and we find ourselves in financial quicksand with time running out.
 
We must rebuild and reinvigorate American capitalism NOW and the ONLY way on earth to do it, is by putting a Constitutionalist in charge of the Executive Branch of our federal government.  The Chief Executive (i.e. President) appoints literally 1,000's of government employees and charts a direction for the country that is unmistakable.  Right now that direction is Marxist in fashion and IT IS SCARY!
 
So, take a look at the "3 Constitutional Amigos" I mentioned above.  Learn about their histories and make sure they can show you their birth certificates, high school transcripts, college transcripts, driver records, etc.  I don't know which one will make it through the primary process but I know we must pick one of them if this country is to survive.
 
Don't buy into the media hype or you'll end up being a chump....just like Trump.

Something(s) to think about...

Reagan's 100th birthday was 2/6 and I heard very little fanfare in the "lamestream" media.  Of course, I heard plenty of adulation in the media about how Barack Obama was assisting Egypt by guiding their transformation from dictatorship to democracy. Barrf! 
 
Don't be fooled by the disinformation coming from CNN and others, Egypt will end up being ruled by a theocratic authoritarian regime just like in Iran.  Radical Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood will strike a deal with the Egyptian military. When this occurs, the liars in both the media and the Obama administration will find some way to spin it as another failure of the Bush administration.  Rest assured that the typical "dumb masses" (who make handy democRAT dupes) will eat it up with a soup spoon and hit the grassroots with talking points memorized, ready for regurgitation. :)
 
Meanwhile, the smart/informed members of our society are "stocking up" as we know that wild inflation is coming.  The same inflation pressures on food prices that touched off the Egyptian riots will be hitting America very soon.  Food suppliers have been reluctant to raise prices but they will have no choice going forward or their already thin profit margins will disappear.  Will we see riots here in the USA as a result? Let's hope not.
 
Our Congress is firmly entrenched in its 112th session and it appears that Republican leadership is losing its nerve.  Whereas they once spoke of cuts in out-of-control government totalling "hundreds of billions", today the GOP is more willing to embrace cuts of only 32 or 50 billion.  Keep in mind that Obama has managed to railroad through budgets of 3,500 billion (i.e. 3.5 trillion) with the help of willing democRAT accomplices so a cut of 32 billion would be less than 1%.  Wow...what courage!
 
Republicans should be advised that if they continue to lose their nerve or "pu$$y-out" as I like to say, they will be shown the exits in November 2012 as millions of us vote "Third Party".  Sure, this will split the Republican vote and once again place the lying leftist democRAT scumbags in FULL CONTROL of our government.  C'est le vie!
 
Today is Lincoln's birthday and I feel it appropriate to remind everyone of a quote from his Gettysburg Address:
 
"...and that this government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
 
Sadly, due to the collective slumber of the American citizenry, this government no longer exists in our nation. Thus, the above quote has been replaced by the "Meat and Potatoes" version:
 
"...and that this government of the POLITICIAN, by the LOBBYIST and for the PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS, must perish very soon or America will collapse into chaos and limitless suffering."
 
The coming crisis can ONLY be rectified by an awakening at the grassroots level on a grandiose scale, the likes of which have never been seen in the history of our country.

Happy 2011....or not?

There haven't been many "helpings of Meat & Taters" lately for a simple reason: Not much has been going on besides the coldest & snowiest winter of many people's lifetimes.  That's a good  thing by the way, it will take away valuable ammunition from the global warming propagandists who seek any excuse to tear-down American capitalism.  What schmucks!
 
About the shooting a week ago.  The tragedy in all this wasn't the shooting itself or the loss of life.  The true tragedy was the left-wing assault on everyone's freedom of speech.  Keep in mind that literally millions of Americans have given their lives to DEFEND our Constitutionally protected 1st Amendment rights.  The most dangerous force in America, the "American Left" claims that our freedom of speech CAUSED the shootings in Arizona and perhaps we need to take a look at limiting speech.  This kind of political opportunism by the "American Left" is yet another sickening glimpse into their hideousness as human beings.
 
The hysterical and unbridled left-wing assault on Sarah Palin is more glaring proof of the dangerous threat we face courtesy of the "misanthropic malcontents" I mentioned previously.  There is one leftist on Twitter named "Birthday__girl" who called for all conservatives to be shot in the head or be killed during the coming socialist revolution.  But keep in mind, Sarah Palin is the extreme one for using military terminology in her political campaign postings JUST LIKE everyone else.  Yah....rite!
 
My prediction for 2011 is that it will be another long, tough slog for America just like 2009 and 2010.  Obama and his handlers have absolutely no intention of embracing the Constitution or capitalism.  Keep in mind that Obama has admitted in several speeches that he's a true believer in Marxism.  He made his appeal to blacks in America that the only fair way for America to make up for slavery is to force "wealth redistribution" upon its citizenry.  Largely uneducated, ignorant and brainwashed from decades of lies and government handouts, black people in America are buying the "dream" of Marxist utopianism.  God help us if they don't wake up someway....somehow.
 
About the economy in 2011, a great analogy for you to use with your friends, neighbors and co-workers who are thirsting for some understanding.  Give them a dose of "Meat & Taters", if you please...
 
Remember the movie "Varsity Blues" starring that pretty boy who plays a second string quarterback?  In the movie, Jon Voight plays a maniacal SOB who will win at any cost (sort of like Rahm "Dead Fish" Emanuel...lol).  Each time the starting quarterback gets hurt, Voight will have a doctor shoot him up with drugs such as hydrocortisone so he can keep playing.  Now, imagine our economy since the 1990's being that quarterback.  The evil coach is our Federal Government and the doctor with the drugs is our Federal Reserve!  Our US economy has been bleeding productivity and REAL JOBS for 20 years now but each time we have a downturn, the coach says to the doctor "give him another stiff shot of drugs" which in our case is low interest rates and bailout money, courtesy of the Federal Reserve.  These "shots" always work to prop up the economy in the short-term by creating a "bubble economy" but ultimately result in a devastating relapse (economic recessions/depression) of the patient. 
 
Remember when "Mox" comes into the treatment room and tells the coach "no more shots or we quit the team"?  America needed a Jon Moxon in the late 90's when Greenspan and the Clinton administration were creating dual bubbles of doom.  The dot-com and housing mortage bubbles were shot up to the stratosphere and imploded cataclysmically, destroying millions of people's finances in the process.  NO MORE EASY MONEY, NO MORE BUBBLES & NO MORE BAILOUTS!  The Federal Reserve is working to create another one right now, its name:  the Debt Bubble. (They call it "Quantitative Easing") Stopping it may already be too late....

Weekend Tidbits: Madoff, Videos & GTA

First a funny tidbit from my Twitter page:

FDR, LBJ & Obama: All 3 created wealth-redistribution Ponzi-Schemes & all 3 will be known as members of the Madoff family. So, I'm officially introducing to all my blog readers the following "Madoff Brothers":
1) Franklin Delano Madoff ...... Social In-Security (paying out more than it takes in as of 2010 with an empty "trust-fund")
2) Lyndon Baines Madoff ....... Medi-Scare (trillions in the red as of 2015 & will require 70 trillion to be funded adequately)
3) Barack Hussein Madoff ...... Obama-Care (AKA the raw deal for all who've worked hard to attain/keep good health insurance)

Now about some great learning tools for you, your family & any misguided (ignorant) neighbors, friends, co-workers, etc. There are some videos on Youtube and on the web you MUST watch:

1) "Quantitative Easing Explained"  Cartoon format with over 3 million views, everything you need to know about the Federal Reserve.
2) "Money as Debt" Cartoon format, explains our monetary system in easy to understand language. Watch all 5 parts!

Over at the National Inflation Association: www.inflation.us

1) "The Dollar Bubble"
2) "Melt-Up"
3) "The Day the Dollar Died"
4) "The End of Liberty"

Lastly, I'm forming a group called the "Grassroots Troopers Association".  Mission is simple:  Carry the "Information War" to the grassroots where the internet, talk radio and Fox News Channel rarely penetrate.  In doing so, GTA will operate in concert with the Teaparty Movement and begin to EDUCATE the electorate about the desperate need for re-establishing Constitutional Limits on our federal government. (Known by me as the "Gargantuan Juggernaut"!)

The text for my lectures is the 1989 book by Lewis K. Uhler: "Setting Limits: Constitutional Control of Government"

Stick a fork in Obama....

The cat is out of the bag on this Obama character.  You can stick a fork in him because he's about as done as an overcooked rump roast!  (Emphasis on the RUMP...lol)  To wit:

1) failed to close Guantonomo Bay (Thank God)
2) failed thus far to catch Osama Bin Laden
3) failed to re-start the economy after spending trillions
4) failed to build consensus on healthcare reform
5) failed to ram through "Cap and Trade" legislation (Thank God)
6) failed his own party by causing the worst electoral disaster in 72 years
7) failed to negotiate trade agreements with India and S. Korea
8) failed to end either of 2 wars he "inherited" (Iraq pre-negotiated by Bush admin.)

People are figuring out what I've said since spring of 2008, when he called American citizens "...bitter people who clings to their guns and religion":  He's a bitter, immature, incompetent "malcontent-Marxist" who wants to tear down America and rebuild it HIS way.  Problem is, he let impatience get the best of him by waking up millions of voters who are now dead-set against his agenda.

Look for him to be a one-termer on par with the "Georgia Jacka$$" Jimmy Carter.  If the Clinton's don't come after Obama with those sharpened knives of theirs....I'll be shocked!

Perfect way to celebrate "Armistice Day"....

Some may call it Veteran's Day but I call it by the original title: "Armistice Day".  This gives the day its special historical significance as an end to the vicious brutality which characterized World War I, in 1918.

One month before the signing of the armistice at the "Eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month..." Army Major Charles Whittlesey and his battalion fought a week long battle for survival in the extremely rugged Argonne Forest of France.  As they found themselves surrounded by a superior German force, the American "doughboys" were only offered two options by their foe: Be killed or surrender immediately.

In the tradition of rugged individualism and creativity which has always characterized the American spirit, Whittlesey and his men chose a third option the Germans never dreamed of....they chose to FIGHT!

Commemorate "Armistice Day" in style by watching Rick Schroder star in "The Lost Battalion".  Available on Youtube right now.  How do I know?  Because I spent the morning watching it! :-)

About Sarah Palin....

The "electoral drubbing of our lifetimes" isn't a week in the rear-view mirror and already the left-wing is trying to poison the well for Sarah Palin in 2012.  What an unexpected turn of events. :-)
 
A steady drumbeat of articles have emerged from the leftist-infested media and....would you believe the GOP establishment who have actually joined forces? Imagine that.  The tired, old, worn-out "has been" named Peggy Noonan (aka The Nooner) had to chime in over an innocuous comment Palin made about Ronald Reagan's resume as he worked his way to the White House.  Simply....
 
"Wasn't Reagan an actor who starred in 'Bedtime for Bonzo'?"
 
Yes, in fact, that statement is TRUE and if you go back and check the ever-so-helpful media's coverage of Reagan, they NEVER let him live it down.  Did you also know that Reagan was a lowly radio announcer for WHO in Des Moines, IA?  Now you do.
 
Before Peggy Noonan and her buddy, Michael Gerson have another conniption..... May I point out that Palin didn't say Reagan was ONLY an actor?  Only that he WAS ONE and that's a fact!  So knock-off the sickening hypersensitivity which is so characteristic of the disingenous demagogue-Crats and act like real adults.  Oh and Larry Kudlow, you need to take a chill pill as well. Love ya!
 
As if the aforementioned wasn't bad enough, this weekend I go to the UK Telegraph and see an article CLAIMING that George W. Bush (a guy the media never talks about unless they need to give Obama a pass) said Palin isn't presidential material. But alas, when you read the article, you see the word "allegedly" used two times in the first 3 paragraphs.  If that isn't a clear enough case of journalistic malpractice, read a little further and you see that "unamed sources close to the president claim they heard...." LOL!
 
Folks, what's going on here is so straight-forward that even a mindless Obama-Drone could figure it out.  We have people who are in the Republican party hierarchy such as strategist Karl Rove and former speechwriters Noonan and Gerson TEAMING UP WITH the leftists who run our "lamestream media" complex.  The $128,000 question (adjusted for inflation) is why?
 
I believe it's because Sarah Palin is potentially the greatest "change agent" we've seen in this country since Ronald Reagan.  You do remember him don't you?  The guy who we were told couldn't win in 1976 so we put up a "pale pastel" leisure suit from Grand Rapids named Gerald Ford.  Then again in 1980, we were told:  He supported Goldwater in 1964 and is too much like him, we can't risk another 44 state landslide. 
 
"Wellll", America wasn't ready for a Goldwater in 1964 because times were fat, dumb and happy, which put people to sleep.  It was a much different story in 1980 and I suspect our current "misery index" won't change much between now and 2012.  In the meantime, keep hammering away on Palin you fear mongering fools.  It will only cause the electorate to take a closer look at who she is and what she stands for, just in time to cast their vote.

Compromise w/ these leftists? NEVER!

The election is over and people are asking me for analysis.... That's a simple one as I turn to the once great Ronald Reagan for a quote:

"WE WIN.....THEY LOSE".  (past tense: WE WON....YOU LOST. Now grow up and get over it!)

Of course, this time "THEY" isn't the Soviet Union, it's the enemy within our own borders.  This would be the subversives who plot in the shadows and co-opt the ignorant whether they be union members, minorities or young rubes in classrooms.  The leftists who infest this country must be overwhelmed at the ballot box every 2 years or mark my words, this nation will fall.

Now that the leftists are vanquished, they beg for mercy in the form of compromise.  I say "NEVER!".  Now it's our turn to fix the massive damage you have done in such a short time, to our Constitution, the value of our dollar and our national pride.

The only way I will compromise with you leftists is perhaps when I meet you in the streets.  Instead of blasting you with my Remington model 870, maybe I'll just "butt-stroke" you across the face with it.

Talk Radio w/out the Commercials....Advice

We patriotic Americans love one thing almost as much as our Constitution, the timely and informative stream of diatribe we receive each day from talk radio.  But there's a downside....the repetitive litany of annoying commercials which at times, might feel like a 3/8" drill bit being bored right through the middle of our forehead!  Don't despair Grassroot Troopers, I have a solution.
 
Those who dine on a regular diet of "Meat and Taters" know that I'm not the traditional blogger in the sense that I editorialize, I think outside the box, offer advice and best of all solutions to your problems.  Voila!  The TALK RADIO SOLUTION.  Keep in mind that in 60 minutes of talk radio, you are only getting 29 to 31 minutes of content which leaves plenty of time to get stuff done. :-)
 
Skipping the commercials is easy if you learn the schedule and know that most commercial breaks are between 4 and 5 minutes.  You just turn the radio off (or unplug it to save wear and tear on the switch...lol) and turn it back on when the time has elapsed.  Another way is to memorize when each host goes in and out of commercial breaks.  It sounds hard but they go in and out with amazing regularity (we are after all, creatures of habit) and once you get good, you can "smell" the commercial breaks coming!
 
Starting with the Big 3 radio hosts (and only the Big 3 to keep the blog reasonably short).......
 
Hannity is the EASIEST of all because he has 2 big, meaty segments: 1) :07 to :22 and 2) :35 to :50  You listen to anything else on his show and you're talking very small potatoes, without the meat...lol.  It's great with Hannity because you can actually do your shopping or other tasks without missing all that much content.  Sadly, not the case with our remaining Big 3 hosts.
 
Next is Levin who jumps around on his breaks (likely because he's a relative newbie in the talk radio world or because he's a sly one and wants to keep us guessing...lol).  Levin can be counted on to do the following talk schedule for his superlative diatribe:
1) :06 to :19 2) :24 to :28 3) :34 to :44 4) :49 to :53 5) :57 to :59
 
The so-called "Godfather of Talk Radio", Rush Limbaugh is a much harder nut to crack on silly,stupid commercial avoidance because he has adopted the Paul Harvey approach of using "drive by commercials".  What are these?  Commercials inserted in the dialogue that he sneaks up on the unsuspecting listener and BAMMO!  He springs them like a trap when the listener least expects it.  His schedule:
1) :06 to :19 2) :24 to :30 3) :34 to :47 4) :51 to :54 5) :58 to just shy of :59.
 
But with Limbaugh you can never be too sure of the break lengths, this is why I use what I've called the "Two Radio Solution".  When he's on, I tune a radio in a nearby room and turn the volume down nice and low so I can only hear his intro "bumper" music which leads him in from the commercial break.  When he goes to commercial, I will unplug the radio where I'm working and just wait to hear his bumper music on the radio in the other room.  Don't worry, if you miss the music, you'll definitely hear his voice booming through as he starts the next segment and you will miss very little content.
 
One a related and somewhat sophisticated note for the true talk radio afficianado.  It wouldn't hurt to get an oven timer, mount it next to your radio and set it to 4 mins 30 secs.  That way, when you turn your radio off, you can press the countdown button on the timer.  If you get distracted, the alarm will beep just like it would to keep you from burning your muffins.
 
No....I don't bake.

I don't want "Civil War" in America

If you're ambivalent about voting next Tuesday or perhaps a tad confused over who to vote for.... Consider the stakes in the "fight".
 
Covered previously in this blog (ad nauseum some would say) is our coming financial collapse.  Some statistics for you to ponder:
 
1) Our national debt is 19.1 Trillion dollars (including Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debt of 5.6 Trillion).
2) Our GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is 14.4 Trillion dollars.
3) Our Debt to GDP ratio is 132% which means financially speaking, we are "underwater".
4) The U.S. Treasury printed 2 Trillion dollars of "fiat" money over the past year because they felt like it.
5) REAL unemployment (U6) in America is approximately 18 to 20%.
6) The VALUE of the U.S. dollar is backed up by NOTHING except the "faith and credit" of our government which sucks!
7) The U.S. dollar was equal to 300 Japanese Yen in 1978 & only 79 today.
8) The U.S. dollar is returning to its intrinsic value of ZERO. (Remember, it's only "dirty paper"! lol)
 
I do NOT want to have to fight my fellow Americans in the streets when the dollar finally collapses and chaos ensues.  I do NOT want to have to blow people away who try to break into my home in a desperate search for foodstuffs, medicinal supplies or other things we've taken for granted all these years.  This is a nightmarish scenario I don't want to even think about but it WILL HAPPEN if the dollar does collapse and..... WE ARE HEADED DOWN THAT PATH.
 
I have lost faith in the American people to wake themselves from their "prosperity induced slumber" and take the necessary thoughtful and even painful steps to reign in our government.  This is why I prepare everyday with the acronym "C.A.P." which stands for:
 
1) Canned goods
2) Ammunition
3) Precious metals
 
All families should have a few thousand in today's dollars of each! When all hell breaks loose next week, next month, next year, five years from now, the ones who have prepared will be able to live a somewhat normal life and protect what they have from others who will seek to take it.  Silver is inexpensive at only about $25 an ounce and reasonably easy to liquidate, i.e. convert to necessary goods and services in the event you need it.  More information is available by going to the National Inflation Association website at: www.inflation.us
 
Rugged individuals stand up when the going gets as difficult as it has gotten in America over the past couple years.  This includes having the maturity to make an HONEST assessment of the threats we face and prepare for them accordingly.  Inform others of the stakes in this year's mid-term elections, educate them and help them make a choice for smaller, Constitutionally-limited government.

Juan Williams...FIRE him again!

A week from today, I pray Americans have painfully awakened from their 20+ year slumber and will restore our nation's honor as well as its Constitution.  Most groups are realizing they were snookered in the fall of 2008 by a charismatic Marxist demagogue named Barack Hussein Obama and hang their heads in shame.  Not since the Trojan-Horse candidacy of Bill "the Father of 9/11" Clinton have ignorant Americans been so embarrassingly tricked, history does indeed repeat itself.
 
There is one group in America that hasn't awakened and it brings me to the subject of Juan Williams.  I've been watching this sorry excuse for a journalist approximately 12 years and remember many choice moments where he has embarrassed himself.  The classic moment on Fox News Sunday was achieved when he stated that VP Cheney had "...retreated to the bunker of his own mind" and everyone to include the host began laughing at Juan non-stop! :-)
 
Juan Williams lives in his own little world of bitterness borne of perceived racism and never lets a chance to play the race card pass him by.  He wears a "chip" the size of a football on each shoulder and it leads him to spew the disingenuous left-wing talking points like a true footsoldier for social justice.  It's depressing to watch him refuse any common-sense reasoning from the likes of Brit Hume or Bill Kristol week after week as he spools up like a jet engine at the gate and prepares to fly-off around the Fox News studios!
 
I feel sorry for Juan that he is so miserable and jaded but I don't feel sorry for him that he was let go from NPR.  Frankly, what he said about Muslims on an airplane WAS RIPE WITH STEREOTYPE and needs to be denounced.  Can you imagine if I said a group of blacks on my airplane (I'm a commercial pilot) made me so nervous I was unable to push back from the gate?  The decorated race warrior Juan Williams would be the first in line to hammer the ever living dogsqueeze out of me!  Take that to the bank.
 
In the interest of full disclosure (since I fully expect Williams defenders at Fox News and elsewhere to expose my past critiques of this man), let me state that I unabashedly despise Juan Williams.  He is an example of the hideousness that we find in today's leftists, a group of people so maniacal when it comes to attaining/maintaining power that they WILL STOP AT NOTHING.  No lie is too offensive, no smear is too underhanded (i.e. the "Phony Soldiers" smear against Rush Limbaugh) and no demagoguery is too over-the-top.  Williams is a detestable, lying, race-baiting statist from the word go and I hope someday that Fox News fires him too!
 
For the record, my biggest living conservative heroes in the world besides Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin are......any guesses?
 
1) Dr. Condoleeza Rice (I named my tabby after her)
2) Dr. Thomas Sowell
 
I detest Juan Williams not because of his skin color but because of WHAT HE STANDS FOR.  An ideology of lying to advance government reliance for ANYONE who has "victim status".  This is despicable, un-Constitutional and is leading to our nation's financial collapse!

Our "Crimson Tide Moment" - Addendum

I hope many of you found my analogy that America is at its "Crimson Tide Moment" to be spot on.  Last night I popped in a dusty ole VCR tape and decided to watch the movie from many years ago.  I'm an ex-Navy officer and must say the scenes are well done with proper jargon and procedures which bring back memories like they were yesterday. Some good, some bad...haha.

I decided to write an addendum to my previous blog and implore you to rent the movie or pop it in ASAP if you have it.  Fast forward (68 mins from start) to the scene I speak of, where USS Alabama (SSBN-731) has been hit and is slowly sinking.  IN YOUR MIND, IMAGINE ALABAMA TO BE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING.  As you see the water flooding into the submarine, imagine that to be our nation's gargantuan debt (now totalling 19 trillion including Fannie/Freddie liabilities).

Trust me folks, as you watch this 5 minute scene, you will be overwhelmed by the power of my "Crimson Tide Moment" analogy.  As the sub drifts into an underwater abyss more than 1,500 feet deep, completely out of control, while people desperately work to save the day, you will see the parallels.  America drifts out of control, 120 billion dollars of debt per month flooding in, our dollar is in crisis (Australia will pass parity with our dollar next week!) and people like Rep. Paul Ryan, Rep. Eric Cantor, myself, yourself and many others are working desperately to save our nation from financial doom.

But here's the REAL question:  Who is playing the part of Ricky Schroder (LT Hellerman) in today's America?  Who will shut the hatch on the massive deficit spending which threatens to sink our nation, possibly forever?  The answer....MUST be the voters.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonus Meat 'n Taters Quip for the Day:  If "Crimson Tide" were filmed modern day (instead of 1995), the reporting of events in Russia would not be by CNN (the Communist News Network).  Rather, it would be done by Fox News Channel! :-)
