What does the USA do in a dangerous world?

The "Russian bear" is again flexing its muscle but is everyone paying attention?  Those who fail to realize the significance of Russia's invasion of the Republic of Georgia are not thinking deeply enough.  They overlook the strategic benefits gained by controlling such an area of the world with its two massive oil pipelines which connect to the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.  We have all learned that oil is truly "black gold" in today's world and Russia is using their oil riches to rebuild a dilapidated military that is vintage 1980's. 
America's response to this military assault was anemic at best.  President Bush should have returned from the Olympics immediately and been much more forceful in his rhetoric.  His own Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates was seen making it clear to the Russians that we will not use force in dealing with their aggression.  Way to go Bob, just tell the Russians everything why don't you!  Now the Ruskies know we are nothing but a "paper tiger" just like Bin Laden found out after "the Father of 9/11" pulled our troops out of Somalia in 1993.  Bottom line is that the U.S. is no longer a world superpower and we are no longer feared.....BY ANYBODY!  Russia knows they can walk all over us, invade any country they want and get away with it.  Iran knows they can harass our Navy ships and take British sailors hostage if it feels like it.  China knows they can buzz our Navy P-3's so close that they have a mid-air collision and then take the crew as hostages while ripping the plane apart, remember that one before 9/11?  (Seems like so long ago, doesn't it?)
I may not be a foreign affairs sage, like John Bolton but I know that thirty years of liberal, pacifist thinking has robbed us of our superpower status in the world and it will take a focused, informed electorate many years to get it back.  President Bush has pursued a strategy with terrorism that is tough-minded but he has been myopic in that regard.  He needs to apply this "carry a big stick" strategy with all threats to democracy, just like Reagan.  The problem today is that each time a president attempts to assert American power in dealing with these tyrants, he has to wage a battle against entrenched subversives in HIS OWN government who support our enemies.  This is a sad reality that President Bush and President Reagan had to face, accept it.  
So what's a president to do in a dangerous world?  Well, I answered that question over a year ago, right here at the Meat and Potatoes Blog my Grassroots Troopers.
============================================================================================
 What does the USA do in a dangerous world? (July 2007)
Lately, the world is erupting at every corner it seems.  The middle east has been a major trouble spot for 5 years now but other parts of the globe have been troublesome, yet unnoticed. 
Russia has always resented the USA for forcing freedom down its throat during the 1980's and has been working behind the scenes with China, France and others to undermine the USA's authority.  Even worse, China who holds a great deal of financial leverage over the USA (by financing our debt), has been playing footsies with North Korea as it's nutcase of a dictator works towards getting nuclear ballistic missiles. 
But by far, the worst player of all is Iran.  Iran's fingerprints are on almost every terrorist plot, they have supplied weapons to Syria, to the Hezbollah and to the terrorists flowing through porous borders into Iraq.  The leaders of Iran, who make Hitler look like a girl scout, have made crystal clear their intention to gain nuclear weapons, destroy Israel and then turn their sights towards the "Great Satan" itself, the United States of America. 
What does President Bush do in such a situation?  Well, let's apply a real world situation that any one of us could face tonight.  You're out at a local watering hole having a "couple of pops" when you suddenly find yourself surrounded by several threatening reprobates whose only intention is to beat the pulp out of you.  You look at your buddy, he looks at you and you both realize that things are about to get really nasty.  What do you do? 
I remember hearing this story once from a friend of mine, who is very adept at finding trouble when it suits him!  He told me, you pick out the biggest, toughest, most threatening individual and you TAKE HIM OUT, no questions asked!  The others will see it and think twice about getting involved.  The handwriting is on the wall folks, question is when are we going to start reading it?
Addendum:  By taking out the most threatening individual, allow me to illustrate with a hypothetical.  If I was President Bush and word came from Washington that Russia was in the process of invading Georgia, I would have simply picked up the phone and contacted Putin or his puppet Medveded to make the following clear:  "Either you turn your tanks around and leave Georgia immediately or I have an A-10 squadron that is just itching for some target practice.  They will launch from Ramstein AFB in 30 minutes and be over Georgia in a matter of hours with one mission objective:  Turn all Russian tanks inside Georgian borders into SWISS CHEESE."

Happy Birthday Social IN-Security...

Get out the party hats, get out the cake and light them candles:  "Happy Birthday Social IN-Security.....Happy Birthday to YOUUUUU!"  The brainchild of that lionized socialist, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (we're allowed to use middle names so long as it isn't Barack's!), turns 73 years old today.  Of course, that doesn't mean it still won't implode on itself in about 25 years so if you're under about 45 years old, it is time to make alternate retirement plans.  There are only a few ways to save the program which is suffering due to many factors, the most important and damning of which is the simple fact that our society's life expectancy has been steadily rising.  Aww shucks, what a shame! 
 
Any fix to the system will take massive amounts of courage because it will be a bitter pill to swallow, solutions include:
1) Means testing - which would make people ineligible should they have a significant amount of assets or other sources of income.
2) A change to the retirement age - trial balloons have been floated which ask for an increase to as high as 70 years of age!  Heck, who wants to retire and sit home anyways? :-)
 
Liberals (socialists) were out in force today to call on either presidential candidate to show leadership if elected and find a way to "reach across the aisle" to broker a fix for the system.  May I remind people that President Bush attempted just such a repair job with the creation of OPTIONAL Personal Savings Accounts.  This plan was eagerly trashed by Democrat obstructionists on Capitol Hill who look at Social Security as "their baby" and how dare a Republican president try to reform it, the nerve!
 
Which begs the question:  How does ANY Republican "reach across the aisle" to work with such viscious demagogues?
 
 
Note:  I call my Social Security number my "Government Tracking number", since I will never receive Social Security and the number is used for so many "other" purposes.  I believe "GTN" is a much more accurate term than "SSN".  Think about it....

Soviet Union II- The Sequel

Hope you liked the old Soviet Union because the new one will be even more fun!  That's right, the Soviet Union is reconstituting itself as we speak and thousands of innocent people are being killed or displaced while we enjoy the Olympics.  I wanted to punch my television screen when I saw Putin's face with a smirk on it, as he posed next to President Bush.  I wouldn't be seen next to that tyrant!
 
Now, I'm watching President Bush on the tube with Bob Kostas of NBC.  What the hell is this?  President Bush ought to have his big behind on Air Force One headed back to the states ASAP for a meeting with his National Security Advisor and the rest of the cabinet.  Did you know we have American troops in the republic of Georgia?  Or that Georgian troops have been working with us in Iraq and are now on their way home?  Do we not have a commitment to help them in their time of need?  I suspect we just may.
 
I have written here at the Meat and Potatoes Blog about the threat of a 3 way co-op between Russia, China and Iran.  The columns were called "What does the USA do in a dangerous world" and "Rogue Nations v. USA.  Reminds me of Chuck Norris".  In those polemic endeavors, I made the point that these 3 nations are teaming up to challenge America in its role as the lone superpower.  This is a major league deal Mister President, the Olympics should be in your rear view mirror.

New job for Sen. John Edwards (D-NC)

It has been announced that if Obama is elected, he will appoint John Edwards to a position as "Family Values Czar".  Also, the Meat and Potatoes Blog is recommending that the Democrat party do a "philandering trifecta" at the convention with speeches by Clinton, Edwards and Jesse Jackson.  They could each discuss the break-down of the American family and how moral relativism has made its contribution.

Heck, throw in former NY governor Eliot Spitzer and they can include the perils of prostitution as well!

Greedy CAPITALISTS in Denver!

It's a housing bonanza extraordinaire in Denver folks!  This according to Will Roberts of the Denver area Board of Realtors.  He stated on FNC not long ago that it's a veritable feeding frenzy for somewhere to store your bones, in advance of the Democrat National Convention (nicknamed here as the "American Showcase of Dysfunctionality").  Hotels are gonzo, condos all sucked dry and people are even renting their houses out, in some cases for as much as $50,000!!!  I'm not embellishing this folks, he said it.  Which begs the question?
 
I thought Colorado residents, being good liberals, would eschew unGodly profit-making and instead serve the common good.  After all, it is those wascally, greedy capitalists who infest the Republican party that always seem hell-bent on making a buck! Lately, this includes the oil companies who suddenly saw "windfall profits" and Democrats have clamored for a CONFISCATION of those profits because after all, they are undeserved.  Well, in light of this I have a proposal......  :-)
 
First, we use Denver as a test market for a "windfall profits" tax.  That's right, we urge the Denver City Council to levy a tax on all those people renting out their houses of say, 50 percent.  That way, things will be more fair for the rest of Denver's citizenry who can't give up their homes for a week.  Denver will be setting an example for a kinder, gentler world where nobody gets ahead of one another.  After all, this is the homestate of Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO), you remember him right?  He's the good socialist-appeaser who said repeatedly that he would object to ANY legislation which contained offshore drilling authorizations, EVEN IF GAS WENT AS HIGH AS $10.00 A GALLON!  Look it up, the clip should be on Youtube by now.  I watched it live on C-SPAN2 and had to reattach my mandible as it had dropped fully to my knees!
 
Isn't it funny folks, how Democrats love to demonize and punish those people who make money by working hard, making the right choices and sometimes even having a stroke of good luck.  But when they "strike it rich" (like Al Gore, the Clintons and others) and make millions, suddenly being a profit-taker is the noble thing to do and the collective outcry is predictably absent.  This is yet another indication of stark Democrat hypocrisy and it cannot be refuted.  Never forget the Meat and Potatoes saying for liberal Democrats: "Sure we're pusssies, we're also liars and HYPOCRITES, what's your point?"

Thank God I'm not a Democrat!

"Memmmmories....Like the corners of my mind.....Misty water-colored memmmories....Of the way we were."  It seems like 1998 all over again my fellow Grassroots Troopers as yet another Democrat is exposed as a philanderer and a liar.  Hey, at least John Edwards didn't lie under oath about this one right?  Thank goodness for small miracles!  :-)~  I have heard rumors that the Father of 9/11 is in touch with Edwards and giving him advice about how to lie and spin this "bimbo eruption" (Hillary's term not mine) so that he can still speak at the Democrat convention in a few days!  Hillary may also call Elizabeth Edwards and tell her how to "cope" as well.  Hillary's advice?  "Keep a stiff upper lip there Liz and just keep humming Tammy Wynette's 'Stand by your man', this will disappear quicker than Obama's lead in the Gallup Poll!"
 
All jocularities aside folks, does anyone know how staggering this is to the image of the Democrat party?  You have a candidate who not only ran for vice-president in 2004 but ran for the presidency this year!  And now it turns out that he was having an affair on his dying wife the whole time. When asked by reporters, he lied about it repeatedly and his staffers such as Chris Kofinis (called Ko-Peenis on the Meat and Potatoes Blog) lied for him or played dumb.  Playing dumb is an easy task for "Ko-Peenis" by the way!
 
This is another sad chapter for a party that is by all accounts in crisis and has been since the Clinton-era.  I don't care how many "posers" the Democrat party can fool ignorant voters into voting for this November.  The facts of history are clear and convincing, to wit:
 
1) By all accounts, this Democrat-controlled Congress has been a "Nightmare on Capitol St." with no real accomplishments, no action on the energy crisis and a case of legislative paralysis since January 2007 that demands "change we can believe in"!
 
2) Democrat leadership consists of virtually no moderate or conservative-minded individuals.  Rather, the party has been seized by radical leftists (i.e. pseudo-communists) who advocate confiscation of wealth, of property, of guns and threaten the traditional America that was in place until the late 1960's.  People like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid (the 2 current leaders) are counter-culturalists, like the Clintons and must be removed from power soon before they take the "USS America" to Davy Jones' Locker with all of us aboard for the ride!
 
3) New Jersey Democrat governor James McGreevey who had an adulterous gay love affair with a man who he illegitimately placed on his staff and created a position for him making over $100,000 a year.
 
4) The sordid affairs of Bill Clinton which resulted in the first legitimately impeached president in U.S. history and a last minute plea-bargain for lying under oath by a man who is supposed to be the chief law enforcement officer.  What a joke!
 
5) Jesse Jackson, avowed Democrat and head of the "Rainbow Push Coalition".  Several years ago, fathered a child out of wedlock and paid the woman thousands of dollars in hush money, including buying her a house in California!  Look it up.
 
6) NY governor Eliot Spitzer, a Democrat who made fighting prostitution his mission in life as the state's Attorney General.  Funny thing though, prostitution was ok in his own life as he was paying "Kristin" off of Myspace $4,000 to $5,000 per tryst!  He resigned in shame earlier this year and NY state suffered massive embarassment as a result.
 
7) Now, John Edwards, two time loser at running for office and an avowed adulterer.  The woman at the center of the affair, Rielle Hunter was given a position in the campaign and paid thousands of dollars to do almost nothing.  Edwards claims that he is not the father of her child but a paternity test will be needed to prove that.  I don't believe a damn word that comes out of a trial lawyer's mouth, especially not someone like John Edwards (aka Mr. Hypocrisy)!  In addition to delicious hypocrisy, this latest episode may land Edwards in prison with campaign finance and tax law violations because $39,000 a month in "hush money" was being paid to Hunter and another Edwards campaign staffer.
 
In 1996, the "Father of 9/11" gave a convention speech in support of his re-election where he said "I'm sick and tired of politicians giving us lectures about family values."  Two years later, when the news surfaced that Clinton was having an affair with a 21 year old intern, we all understood why Slick Willie pedaled such tripe at the convention:  he doesn't believe in family values!  Like a true counter-culturalist, his morality is dictated not by God but by himself.  It appears now that the same is true for John Edwards who I have oftentimes said, reminds me so much of Clinton that it "scares the bejeebers out of me".  Perhaps Edwards should speak at the Democrat Convention coming up in Denver.  His topic you ask?  Well...... FAMILY VALUES of course!
 
People who pay little attention to political affairs say "Democrats...Republicans, there's not a dime's worth of difference.  They're all liars."  Well, latest events provide more convincing proof that these people are clearly wrong.  Democrats ARE worse!

Alabama Mayor Bobby "Ain't so" Bright

Montgomery, AL mayor Bobby Bright used up his 15 minutes of fame in one fell swoop yesterday, as he was front page news on the Wall Street Journal.  Do a search of his name and you'll see fawning newsmedia accolytes, all proclaiming how he spearheads a strategy by the Democrats to retake forgotten territory.......THE SOUTH!
 
The south has been a thorn in the side of Democrats for many years but no recent historical event typifies it like the loss of the White House in 2000 at the hands of Tennessee.  In 1984, Walter Mondale suffered a stunning 49 state defeat to Reagan but the one state he did win, a consolation prize of sorts was his homestate of Minne-sooo-ta.  In 2000, East Tennessee voted hardcore for Bush to send Al Gore and his leftist Democrats packing.  Thank God!  This is demonstrative of how strong Republican dominance is "down in them parts".
 
But the Democrats seek to break this dominance and in true Democrat fashion they'll attempt it by being disingenuous.  The strategy is simply this: Find leaders in southern states who appear as patriotic, conservative, wholesome, family-values types and get them to run as Democrats.  Once they report to Washington, set-up a little meeting with the "Stalinists" who run the party and make it clear:  "You'll vote the way we want or need you to vote, otherwise your stay here will be amazingly brief."  What would make it brief you might ask?  How about black-balling the new Congressman, keeping his name off of commitees or legislation, ostracizing him by the spread of rumors or outright lies and holding back money for campaigning at re-election time.  Keep in mind, this Democrat leadership  consists of Saul Alinsky-style radicals who will stop at nothing to enact their agenda.  Do you actually think they will let a newbie like Mayor Bobby Bright come in and TRY to advance conservatism by reaching across the aisle to Republicans?  If so, please check yourself in at the local "psych-ward" or join T. Boone Pickens for a one-way trip to "Fantasy Island"!
 
I don't know of Bobby Bright but after reading the Wall Street Journal front-page story yesterday, I question just how "bright" is he?  By the sounds of his belief system, he should be running as a Republican!

Women sliding downhill: Woman confesses to murder on TALK SHOW!

Ok, this one TAKES THE CAKE folks!  I just caught wind of a woman who confessed to murder on a national radio talk show in 2006 and yesterday, she was arrested by police and charged with the murder.  Here's the quickie run-down in true Meat and Taters fashion:
 
1) woman has one night stand, ends up pregnant, decides to keep baby, father (a jerk) won't pay child support.
2) woman uses legal system to garnish wages but father quits job shortly afterward, says "If I don't work, how can I pay support?"
3) woman gets ticked off, goes over to discuss situation with man and gets even more ticked off, so ticked off that she.....
4) shoots the guy in the heart with his own 9mm handgun and then tells the police he committed suicide.
 
Here's a link to the news story that provides greater detail for the bullet points listed above, if you are "time-challenged" just keep on reading and get to the Meat and Taters, the Youtube clip that will blow your socks off!
http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/122475
 
Arizona police accepted the story, an autopsy was done and the case was closed with the body being cremated.  Until of course, this box of froot-loops in a nurse's dress decides to call in to the Tom Leykis Show and CONFESS TO THE CRIME ON THE AIR!  You won't believe your ears folks as you listen to this one.  Trust me, this a MUST LISTEN Youtube clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9P_vHZmS5E
 
You can't make this stuff up.  Every day it seems, there are American women out there keeping it real for us.  Hallelujah!

Women sliding downhill: Mary Winkler beats the system!

One of my readers brought it to the INFORMER's attention that there was a BIGGER story this week to demonstrate the downward spiral of women and our justice system this week.  Namely the "shame of Tennessee", otherwise known as Mary Winkler.  After blowing away her husband 2 years ago, she was found guilty of manslaughter instead of what would traditionally be known as murder.  But, of course with today's watered down "injustice system" where a pedophile can get 5 days in jail, "murder machine Mary" ended up serving less than a year in the pokey.  As if the victim's parents were not distraught enough over the case and the light as a feather sentence, the story gets much worse.  You see, the Winkler's had 2 daughters and they resided with their deceased father's parents.  Now, a court has seen fit to award custody of the daughters back to the nutcase of a mother who (like OJ) got away with murder.  Here's the link to the story:
 
 
When you click on that link, I want you to look at the smug look on Winkler's face and tell me that isn't the face of someone who enjoys the satisfaction of having beaten the system like a big ole drum!

Women sliding downhill: Casey Anthony is formally charged

Meat and Potatoes Loyalists will remember my unpopular yet recurring theme that women are sliding downhill in our culture and the effects of this slide are frighteningly destructive.  The last time we saw evidence of this, it was 17 girls in Gloucester, MA getting pregnant in the hopes of having the kids together and forming their own little commune.  At least 4 of the girls, all under 18, had sex with the same homeless man as he was believed to be the father, pending a paternity test. 
 
Today, we have formal charges filed against Casey Anthony of the Orlando, FL area.  It's easy to familiarize yourself with the case if you just type the name into a search engine.  Casey is another example of a woman who has failed miserably in her MOST IMPORANT job on this earth:  to raise and nurture a young life so that individual can grow up to be a productive and law abiding citizen.
 
Let me be clear here, I am not saying that Casey had anything to do with the disappearance and possible death of her daughter.  Although DNA evidence has been collected, there is no conclusive proof of any criminal wrongdoing in this area.......YET!  But why did Casey wait 31 days to report her daughter missing to authorities?  And why are there all these pictures of her out partying when her pride and joy was amiss?  Can you imagine being able to go out and dance the night away under such circumstances?  Hopefully not.
 
This whole case stinks to high heaven for Casey Anthony and quite possibly her parents too.  Eventually, the truth will come out as it always seems, in the end.  Then we will have a much clearer picture of the neglect and possible abuse to which this child became victim.  My prediction is that little Caylee will become a sterling case study of just what the downward slide of American women is doing to eat away at the fabric of American society like a hideous cancer.  Question is:  Like cancer, will we discover it early enough to survive?

A race that's all about race.....for some.

Last week Obama made a speech where he admitted that he doesn't look like presidents of yesteryear.  He even went so far as to say that he didn't look like the presidents on dollar bills.  I made the joke:  "Of course he doesn't look like President George Washington.  Washington's ears weren't nearly big enough to make him look like Dumbo the Elephant!" (smiles)  Putting humor aside, I have a serious question to ask each of my Meat and Potatoes Loyalists.  Why is Obama continuously bringing up race in this race?  He did it months ago with the line about how his grandmother was a "typical white person" and he's still doing it today.  I don't hear McCain talking about race but a whit!  With the exception of some tongue-in-cheek humor, I hear McCain talking about ISSUES, like a candidate should!  Obama, on the other hand has been obsessed with the racial aspects of this campaign and it gives legitimacy to a column I wrote months ago about how sad it is to realize that for the black community, this race is about only 2 things:  race and blind loyalty to the Democrat party.  The black community in this country needs to do some serious introspection and is badly in need of a reformation.

The Black Community:  Filled with hate but why?  (posted April 22, 2008)

If Obama and his "patriotic" pastor Jeremiah Wright have taught us anything, it is that blacks in this country are still very bitter and have a deep-seated resentment for America.  Now, anyone knows that bitterness and resentment lead to hatred over the long-term.  Bitter people tend to feel disconnected and are much more likely to engage in behavior that could be classified as misanthropic.  An example of misanthropic activity would be carjacking a young couple, killing them both and dismembering the bodies after performing sexual acts on them.  Funny how this crime, committed in Knoxville, TN will not be classified as a "hate crime" since the victims were white.  You probably never even heard of this crime which is currently undergoing prosecution, since the major media outlets were silent about it, in keeping with past form.

As of late, we have a black 4 or 5 year old child on Youtube (video was taken down but available on a seperate site with the link provided here)  http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshh1bv10u1Jvw9Is0M6  that threatens to kill President Bush.  ABSOLUTE LUNACY!  The poor little kid didn't come up with crap like this on his own, so who filled his head with it?  Someone who harbors an ideology of hate for either whites or Republicans, that's who!  This is similar to the kind of hatred being taught to young Muslim children in the middle east but they get more creative by using Mickey Mouse, bumble bees and other cartoon characters.

A recent poll of blacks in America found that 75 percent would never vote for John McCain now why is that?  It can't be his fine record of military service and his 5 1/2 years as a POW who was beaten severely in a North Vietnamese prison camp.  It can't be his political policies because they would make any Democrat proud and we know that blacks vote about 93 percent Democrat in EVERY election.

So what else could it be?  It's either the color of his skin or something else.  I'm willing to give the black community the benefit of the doubt and say that they are mostly not racists......I think.  So the only remaining reason that 3/4 of them would never vote for John McCain is the fact that he as an "R" next to his name.  That's right, Mister Meat and Taters is asserting that blacks have a dislike for John McCain purely because he is a Republican, regardless of whether it's in name only.

Now why is it that blacks have such a distaste for Republicans?  Is it because Republicans stand for personal responsibility and not abandoning your children before they are born?  Is it because Republicans support rugged individualism and entrepeneurship that make small businesses run?  Could it be that Republicans typically have a belief in religion as a foundation for the morals which keep our society from devolving into animalistic behavior?  I doubt it because anyone of reasonable sensibilities knows that the 3 "biggies" I listed are admirable precepts and we should feel lucky to have leaders who believe in them!  So what else could be the reason that blacks have such a staunch dislike for Republicans?  I don't think the black community truly knows.  Could the real reason simply be........IGNORANCE?

If this election is teaching us anything, it is that the black community in this country is in need of a major reformation.  Obama claims that he stands for "change you can believe in".  Well that change better start in the black community and it better start soon or we're all doomed.

Cops gone wild: Another sad case in NYC.

I'm positive that everyone remembers the Philadelphia Police Department pulling people out of a car and beating the living "dogsqueeze" out of them, right?  Well, I lost faith in the police forces of this country quite some time ago (not long after the Rodney King beatings) but I regained it after several years that were "beating free", so to speak.  Until today, I should say.
 
I was emailed a Youtube link to the video of a ruthless, power hungry cop in NYC, body-checking a bicyclist and then claiming in his report that the cyclist was riding straight towards him and a collision was unavoidable.  Let me tell you folks, I'd like to have a "collision" with this cowardly piece of excrement, named Rookie Officer Patrick Pogan.  This POS threw himself at the bicyclist and slammed him to the ground for whatever reason, I have no idea.  But it is clear that the officer filed a report that clearly contradicts the video!  What that means to thinking people (like myself) is that Officer "Pat-prick" Pogan is LYING to conceal something.  What that may be, who knows?
 
The NYC Police Department better damn well be investigating this incident!  If they don't properly do so, it just might create a deep hatred for their officers and that could result in more NYC Police Officer deaths.  It is hard for people to assist cops or feel sorrow for their deaths when this sort of injustice is available on Youtube.  We'll see what happens to Officer "Pat-prick" Pogan in the ensuing days.
 
Here's the link of this POS, executing his duties:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqJJW-F4CNM

Obama: Is he playin' the race card? Naww!

The "King of Vagaries" made a speech last week and now everyone is accusing him of playing the race card.  He told a crowd that he doesn't look like former presidents, specifically the president on a dollar bill.  Was good ole Barack making a reference to his skin color?  I'm not so sure folks.
 
I say we give Obama the benefit of the doubt, I mean is anyone absolutely sure what he meant in that speech?  I agree with Obama, he DOESN'T LOOK LIKE the president on a dollar bill.
 
George Washington's EARS aren't nearly big enough to make him look like Dumbo the Elephant!  :-)~

Did the Roman Empire have a "Ludacris"?

Everytime I watch "Gladiator", I'm reminded of America today.  I see people filling the stands of the Colliseum to watch gladiators battle to the death and think of the millions of Americans tuning into UFC pay-per-view.  If you have any knowledge of the Roman Empire's demise, it's hard to not consider our future as well.  That future should make all of us take pause and seriously think.

The Roman Empire collapsed because it failed to anticipate how small challenges in the present would grow quickly into insurmountable problems of the future.  Their Senate was largely dysfunctional, corrupt and did not have the best interests of the republic at heart.  Any of this sound the least bit familiar?

Let's see, social security set-up in the 1930's when people died at 58 and never collected the benefit.  Medicare set-up in 1965 as an expansion of the welfare state and scheduled to go absolutely bankrupt in 20 to 30 years.  Immigration gone wild with 15 to 20 million illegal aliens roaming the countryside.  Our dollar falling like the "Tower of Terror" ride at Disney World in Orlando.  Energy costs that are threatening the airlines, trucking and decimating the U.S. auto industry.  HAD ENOUGH SMALL CHALLENGES IN THE PRESENT YET?

Now let's get to the U.S. Senate, a more perfect example of dysfunctionality I couldn't find if my life depended on it.  Did you know, that the Democrat controlled (since January 2007) Senate killed any chance of addressing our massive energy costs for the rest of the summer?  These spendthrifts adjourn TODAY and will be off until well after your kids are completely fed-up with school!  Republicans brought forth numerous bills to authorize oil drilling offshore and in Alaska but Democrat leaders sent them to the shredder.  Now everything is on hold until September 8th at the earliest.  So, all oil speculators who make money on oil futures know it's "open season" until then.  Hope you like 4 dollar a gallon gas because it will be sticking around awhile longer. :-)

Folks, I may not be the brightest bulb in the package but I AM a thinker!  I'm always ruminating about where we are now and where we are headed into the future.  While I feel discomfort with where we are today, it's an absolute picnic compared to where we are headed unless we do something this November.

Ludacris' buddy Obama is right, we DO NEED CHANGE.  We need a change to leaders who put the best interest's of America at heart and who believe in  freedom as espoused in the U.S. Constitution.  We don't need panderers who float the idea of taking away oil company profits to give out $1,000 checks to each person.  Will someone please show me in the U.S. Constitution where it says government can confiscate "excessive profits" to redistribute them to the public-at-large?

Look into the "Face of Evil"

It is not often that we gain a look into the "Face of Evil" but when we do, we never forget the macabre chill it sends down our spine.  Sometimes it's the last thing a person sees before they are dispatched from this life in a cold and callous fashion.  If we're fortunate however, we have the opportunity to learn from others and we don't have to pay the ultimate price for such a lesson.  This is, of course called...wisdom.
 
Today, I offer you just such a chance to gain wisdom as you have the opportunity to view a bone-chilling picture and watch the videotaped confession of a man who gunned down 2 people in cold blood, just 1 month ago.  As I watched the confession of this monster, I thought to myself:  "How could our system produce such an animal?  Wasn't there someone who could instill some respect and teach compassion for human life to James Broadnax?  Were there no role models, no father figure or other mentor to turn to while growing up?"  I guess not.
 
Let the hand-wringing and more importantly, the learning begin as you look into........the face of evil.  You'll want to freeze-frame your video at about 4:22 and really take a good look at the facial expression.
 
 
I've made the prediction here on the Meat and Potatoes Blog before about our upcoming election this November and I'll make it again.  If Obama loses and the black community doesn't like the outcome, you could see levels of violence around the country that make the L.A. Riots of 1993 look like a dress rehearsal.  Now is the time to be thinking of the future with regard to being armed.  There's nothing wrong with having a gun and knowing how to use it when the time comes.  "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6", remember that folks!  I make no money off of this blog but I care about each one of my readers, I assure you.
