As I watched Ron Paul spout off during the Fox News SC debate, it suddenly hit me that he has more in common with Hitler than he probably knows or certainly would like to admit.  Just think about Ron Paul's approach to the middle east, what he wants to do if elected president and it will all make sense.

Ron Paul has a sizable following of people in this country, most of which have no clue about our Founding Documents and how the government works.  All you have to do to trip up a Paul follower is bring up the concept of Federalism and the Supreme Court's decision in the Roe v. Wade case.  Then sit back and watch their eyes glaze over with a cloud of confusion, I've tried it and it makes for wonderful entertainment!

All these Ron Paul types know is that government sucks and it needs to be reduced to as small an entity as possible or dispensed with altogether!  Just get rid of it already and let every man fend for himself.  We can be like the "Wild West" again in these 50 United States so just go out, strap on your six-shooter and let the good times roll.

The dirty truth with this movement is that they're thirsting for handy scapegoats, one of which is government and another of which is the Jewish state of Israel.  If you listen to Ron Paul as he talks about our meddling in the middle east, how it's costing us billions of dollars and destroying our level of respect  in the world, you begin to see that he is blaming the Jewish people for most of our foreign policy predicament.  Tell me something, didn't Hitler use the Jews as a handy scapegoat back in the 1930's and advocate their persecution just for that reason?  Well Ron Paul isn't doing that directly but he is advocating their abandonment, which will leave them all alone to defend themselves against an onslought of radical Islamic power from all sides.

The end result will be the same as it almost was in the 1940's.  With America out of the equation at the behest of Paul, groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Palestinians can pick up Hitler's mantle without any opposition whatsoever.  As I said earlier, Ron Paul may not realize it but he has more in common with Hitler than he'd like to admit.

The Democrat party of today is not the party of John F. Kennedy and Henry "Scoop" Jackson, we all know that to be true.  Today's Democrat constituency is made up primarily of liberals but do most people know that they can be split into two separate and distinct groups?  It is essential for Grassroots Troopers to know this as they work their very best to awaken America so that it can be saved before time runs out.

I-Libs (I for Ignorant):  This group makes up about EIGHT-FIVE percent of the liberals who vote for Democrats.  Simply put, these people are liberal because of what they DON'T KNOW as opposed to conservatives who believe so strongly in freedom and limited government because of what THEY DO KNOW!  More on these dunderheads in a moment because they are the biggest and most important group.

C-Libs (C for counter-culture):  The poster child for this group is the Clintons, of course.  These are the 60's kids and consist of many radicals who seek a New American order of socialism or "soft communism" to be infused into American society at virtually every level.  Our educational and governmental institutions are infested with these counter-culturalists, sad to say.  They are policy makers who aim to produce rules and regulations which make Americans as susceptible as possible to control by the "state".

Frankly, I could care less about the C-Libs except when it comes to keeping them in the minority so they can go loony-tunes and make complete fools of themselves!  I am most concerned and frustrated with the I-Libs because in many cases, these people are good, patriotic, wholesome Americans.  Problem is, they're ignorant as all get out and that leads them to vote Dumb-O-Crat!  This was made clear on television tonight as pollster Frank Luntz showed members of focus groups after the Democrat debate.  As he made his way down the line asking each potential voter what they thought of the candidates and their performance, I began screaming at my television with frustration.  Predictably, each voter uttered the same silly, vague, feel-good tripe.  Phrases such as:  "he's not real", "she really seems to have a handle on things" and "he doesn't have fire in his belly".   What in the hell does "fire in the belly" mean"?  I thought that was what you got after eating the 5 alarm chili at the chili cookoff with your local fire department! 

My fellow Grassroots Troopers, this country is positioned on the precipice to disaster with mounting fiscal challenges that make our present national debt look paltry in comparison.  Currently, the national debt is at about 9 trillion dollars.  Our future unfunded mandates for social security and medicare costs (which have to be paid at some point) put our debt at more like SEVENTY TRILLION DOLLARS!!!  Meanwhile, our manufacturing has blasted off for the Far East to bolster a communist country which doubles in size every seven years!  We are in the bottom of the 9th inning folks, the bases are loaded and the count is 3 and 2.  Now what are we going to do about it?  WE NEED TO WAKE THESE DUNDERHEADED DOUCHEBAGS UP IF IT IS THE LAST  THING ALL OF US DO!  So, get out there and take 'em to task.  When you hear some potential Dumb-O-Crat voter uttering the same silly platitudes I mentioned earlier, ask them why they feel the way they do.  Then engage them on the issues I spoke of just now.  Watch them squirm as you embarrass the living dogsqueeze out of them.  Then tactfully suggest (you don't want to end up in a fistfight, of course) that they inform themselves.....PRONTO!

We have less than a year until we go to the ballot box and wage a fierce battle against the TRUE ENEMY within our own borders.  That enemy will not compromise and certainly will not back down, it can only be vanquished as it was in 2000 and 2004.  The counter-culturalists inside our own borders will stop at nothing to bring about a radical and total restructuring of this country that will make you look back someday and say "what the hell happened?"  In some cases, the restructuring has already begun, let's work together to stop it DEAD in its tracks so that all of us may benefit in the long-term.

Perhaps you are immersed in the post-Christmas doldrums.   You've played with all your new stuff but it can't keep you from thinking about your "busted-out" waistline.  Have a laugh as you read these NEW Democrat slogans.  Only funny because they're true folks!

Putin Putin, he's our man, if he can't restore communism.....nobody can!

Democrat and Demagogue.....both start with "Dem".  Coincidence?  I think not.

We'd rather buy oil from terrorists than make it ourselves, because we're smart.

We've got more in common with Ahmadinejad than we thought!

We can twist the truth into a pretzel and still get people to believe us.

We've done more for President Bush's legacy than the terrorists!

Watch as our presidential candidates have a 3-way socialistic orgy.

We're against illegal wiretapping, unless we need to snoop on the tramps that Bill slept with!

The Democrat party:  Stupid ignoramuses need to belong to something, right?

We're not happy until you're not happy.

Sure we're pusssies, but we're also liars and hypocrites, what's your point?

We change our position because one position is just too uncomfortable.

We're for free speech, until you disagree with us, then we'll shut you up.

Equal rights matter, particularly when it comes to terrorists and criminals.

We'd rather concern ourselves with the spotted owl than an unborn child.

If we can lose this war, things can be just like they were after Vietnam!

We've done more for the cigar industry than Fidel Castro!

Truth is relative, facts are boring, just make stuff up!

And a few more for you to snicker at:

Obama, Clinton and Edwards:  Reminding us of a movie called "Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest"

Liberalism:  Its like putting together a jigsaw puzzle where none of the pieces fit!

Democrats are the good-hands people, put out your hands and say to everyone: "I'm a Democrat today, fill up my hands, FILL UP MY HANDS!!!"

There's nothing democratic about the Democrat party.

Hey Hillary, See You Next Tuesday!

Future book I'm working on about Democrats:
Snobs, Liars and Hypocrites (oh yeah...and cowards too!)

What's the difference between a Republican and Democrat voter?  A Republican asks a candidate "What are you going to do for my country?" while a Democrat says "What are you going to do for ME?"

If you're a "Meat and Potatoes Loyalist" you know the abbreviation "Double D" has nothing to do with female anatomy.  Rather, I use it to describe a HUGE segment of today's attention deficit disorder plagued society, the "Dunderheaded Douchebags".  You know the type I'm talking about, they can recall a super bowl score from 1969 and who the quarterback was for each team but they don't know who their senators are........what a joke!

What's funny is that the same individuals who will lament ad nauseum about crooked politicians and broken government are ironically the cause of their own torment!  Just think about it.  As a representative republic becomes filled with people who pay little or no attention to political matters and all of their attention to "American Idol", Blackberries and IPODS, the republic will begin to come apart at the seams.  Politicians will become unaccountable to the electorate and emboldened, even intoxicated with limitless power to rob your wallet and run roughshod over the United States Constitution, the supreme law of the land.

Why am I talking about this today?  Well, I was just listening to C-SPAN callers and a "Triple D" called in with a baseless rant about how President Bush is responsible for the "single-state recession" being enjoyed by Michigan.  By the way, a Triple D is a "Dunderheaded DETROIT Douchebag" in case you were wondering.  The convoluted, ignorant logic went as follows:  President Bush gave tax breaks to all the rich people which robbed the country of revenues, while at the same time fought a war in the middle east for oil which busted the budget.

Now, it's a Friday night and I have much better things to do with my time than take the twisted rantings of a Triple D and try to explain why it is so sophomoric!  Michigan is enjoying a "single-state recession" for one major reason and that is because their solitary industry has not been globally competetive for several years.  Now, is this President Bush's fault?  Hell no.  It is the fault of the auto industry itself.  Of course, it doesn't help that the elected leaders of Michigan, most of which are Dumb-O-Crats, have done nothing to help the auto industry and the overall economy of Michigan.  In fact, Democrat Governor Granholm chose to RAISE TAXES rather than cut spending to close budget shortfalls.  Now there's a sure-fire way to help a collapsing economy, nice job!

Time for the tough love you Triple D's.  Ya'll better wake the hell up and take a look around you to see what your elected leaders are doing LOCALLY!  You want to take the easy, cowardly route and blame President Bush as your handy SCAPEGOAT.  Has it occurred to any of you that President Bush is going into his FINAL YEAR as president and will be out of there before you know it?  What are you going to do then?  Maybe you'll fall back to blaming Governor Engler or better yet, Mitt Romney's dad.  Yeah, that's the ticket!

I'm here screaming expletives at my television set in an exasperated fashion over none other than Palmetto Bug- sized brains in South Carolina!  Yes, I know there are doctors willing to treat me for my inner rage but I'd rather vent here and put it on the Meat and Potatoes record for all loyalists to witness and comment upon.

In earlier columns, I have opined about Frank Luntz and his focus groups (which I'm sure would make Mister Perjury proud since he focus grouped EVERYTHING).  Luntz gets a bunch of "local schmokels" together and asks them a series of questions after a presidential debate.  I'm not sure of his methodology used to voidire the participants but judging by the responses he got, none of them were political science majors in college!

What frustrated me most was the discussion of Fred Thompson's performance and the absence of one singular word:  CONSERVATISM!  That's right, not one individual in the room stated that Fred is an unabashed conservative and it scares me to wonder why!!  Could it be that none of these focus groupees know specifically what a conservative is?  If so, this is alarming.  Get ready for a strong statement that will shake your eardrums to their core you Palmetto bugs.  If you are unable to articulate what the vision of conservatism is, then you have absolutely NO BUSINESS being a Republican, period!  Let me spout off a few tenets of this philosophy:

1) the strength and greatness of America lies in its individuals and their inexorable drive for freedom.
2) each individual has talents which must be harnessed in order for them to achieve their own level of success.
3) when people are knocked down repeatedly, it is their OWN rugged individualism and self-reliance that gets them back on their feet and keeps them productive.
4) government must exist for the good of its people but its power must be LIMITED in scope.
5) each of us should do the right thing for American society because it is the right thing to do.
6) our freedoms come from God and nobody can take them away, especially not the state.

This is by no means a complete list, just a basic "starter" list for what conservatives believe.  For people in a focus group to NOT be able to recognize conservatism as Fred Thompson's greatest strength, it tells me that millions of Americans do not understand this most basic philosophy.  My hope for future Frank Luntz groups is that Republicans show an intellectual capacity to articulate this vision.  Our nation is depending on it!

...and the Academy Award for best "crocodile tears" moment while starring in a presidential election role goes to:  (drum roll please) Hillary Rodham Clinton!

Folks, I just saw the video of Shrill-ary at some town hall-style event where she really gets personal and even sheds some tears over the how tired she is, how sad she is and how she'll keep on fighting for America's future.  How desperate the Clinton camp must be to resort to this style of campaigning!  My goodness.

Yes Shrill-ary, your like-ability is in the toilet but you will not raise it up by shedding crocodile tears during an impassioned plea for New Hampshire votes.  There would only be ONE way to improve your like-ability and that would be to go rent the Delorean from Dr. Emmet Brown, set the date on the computer to January 20, 1993 and accelerate that sucker to 88 miles per hour.  Then hum Huey Lewis and the News' "Back in Time" to yourself and hope you don't run into a building when you come out of the time warp.

If you were able to go back to that point Madame Hillary, you could rewrite history.  You'd be able to remove the demagoguery and bitter partisanship that characterized you and your husband's political approach.  Problem is:  YOU were the one who drove all that bitter partisanship that resulted in a polarized nation, the likes of which no political analyst or historian has ever seen since the Civil War!  Even though Newt Gingrich's mom is no longer with us, the words she whispered to Connie Chung still live on. 

What exactly did she say Hillary, surely you remember don't you?

People are trying to figure out why a state with the motto:  "Live Free or Die" is having a collective orgasm over a Republican like John McCain who has been infected with the "RINO virus".  What is the RINO Virus you may ask?  Well it is when you continuously sell-out the Founding Fathers' vision for America by joining with left-wing, new age "outside the Constitutional box" thinkers who want to radically reshape the America we love!  The RINO virus slowly corrupts you to the point where you do things like pass legislation which limits free speech and leads to subversive "527 Groups".  Thanks alot for that "MoveOn.org" group John, we appreciate that.

At the risk of ticking off some "Granite headed" types in New Hampshire, I'm going to call a spade a spade.  The simple fact is that this state is infested TODAY with typical liberals.  Remember the "Meat and Potatoes saying" for liberals:  "They are snobs, hypocrites and liars."  Case in point, hypocrisy.  When I lived in North Billerica, MA back in the early 1990's, I was victim to a growing trend and the massive traffic it spawned on route 3.   It seemed that real estate values in southern New Hampshire were going through the roof as more and more Massachusetts lefties were "pullin' chocks" for the Granite state.  The reason?  to DODGE MA taxes!  So today, we find this second in the nation primary to be decided by "Bay Staters in disguise".  In fact, it could be argued that Massachusetts gets TWO state primaries and that is certainly not fair!  Isn't it ironic and reprehensible that these snooty liberals who ran from Massachusetts to New Hampshire nearly 20 years ago, feel that it is ok to vote for liberal candidates who will raise YOUR taxes?  That is always the case with selfish hypocrite liberals, they care only about themselves, to hell with you and the rest of the country!

We should all mandate that four years from now, when the next presidential primaires take place, states like Iowa and New Hampshire be PUT AT THE BACK OF THE PACK.  Why not start the presidential primaries in southern states?  One could certainly mount a convincing argument why the south deserves to be heard first in any presidential contest.  The south is growing, optimistic, traditional, patriotic and not obsessed with growing the size of government at the expense of our freedoms.  Oh wait, I just gave the exact reasons why entrenched socialists in the news media and our government DO NOT want primaries to start in the south!  How absolutely silly of me.....

The 60's kids have taken control of government and are governing under the rules of a gentleman who is long gone yet his influence lives in the hearts of Democrats today.  Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with Saul Alinsky.  His approach to achieve what I've called a "New American Order" is to do whatever it takes to infuse socialism into American society.  The ends justify the means in the opinion of Alinsky and no scheme, no dirty trick, no underhanded tactic is too low.  Hillary Clinton is a student of the radical Alinsky movement, so much in fact, that she did her senior thesis at Wellesley College on his leftist philosophies. Look it up if you don't believe Mr. Meat and Potatoes!

Alinsky advocates Machiavellian modus operandi to an extreme and it is being played out right before your very eyes if you pay any attention to the Democrat controlled Congress.  Since gaining power in November 2006, when American voters had a momentary lapse of reason (kinda reminds me of an album by Pink Floyd..haha) the Democrats have accomplished nothing of substance, except to gain a paltry 70 cent raise in the minimum wage.  Instead of tackling BIG problems such as illegal immigration, winning the war against Islamo-Fascism  or fixing problems with social security, they have only attempted to undermine the Bush administration through the politics of personal destruction.  At present time, there are over 300 investigations going on in Washington.  Democrat radicals are issuing criminal contempt citations against Bush administration advisors who have protection through what is called "Executive Privilege" and are immune from any Congressional prosecution on this well established precedent.

Now, Democrats know they are "pissing up a rope" with these efforts so why are they even doing it?  They're doing it to cause as much public unrest, confusion, distraction and doubt in this administration purely for political reasons.  You have to remember with these radicals, everything centers on the idea of overthrowing and restructuring the current system on an INCREMENTAL basis, so gradual that you don't even realize it.  Overthrowing our constitution, reorganizing our government and bringing about the "New American Order" is their solemn vow.  What will their "New America" look like:

1) open borders with an unlimited number of formerly "illegal aliens" receiving government handouts paid for by YOU
2) no real American family structure with government providing the structure previously provided by a father and mother
3) a severely downsized and utterly ineffective military which will essentially exist to enforce orders from the state
4) no gun ownership by private citizens, only for government officials to enforce the socialist state
5) a U.S. Supreme Court infested with counter-culturalists who favor government over the individual in every case
6) confiscatory tax rates that make Canada and Europe look like good places to relocate your family
7) the scrubbing of God's mention from everything in the public sector to attain absolute secularism
8) further strengthening of the public schools as a tool of socialistic indoctrination

9) all traditions and traces of the distinct American culture removed from existence

Now, you may notice that some of the above listed objectives have already been achieved to a certain degree.  Attempts at a secularized society, disintegration of the family unit and public schools which indoctrinate rather than instruct.  These are just some of the achievements the hard left-wing radicals can tout when they gather at Alinsky's grave in California to pay him homage. 
The danger from militant, radical socialists is very real.  If you don't believe me, take a look at what has been happening in the nation's capitol.  We have the Senate Majority Leader meeting with radical, left-wing bloggers and participating in morning conference calls with the leader of www.MoveOn.org, billionaire financier George Soros.  Other left-wing groups such as Center for American Progress, Americans Coming Together and People for the American Way are also on a first name basis with BOTH leaders of our Legislative Branch!  Now, when radicals have preferred direct access to our government leaders, I am filled with trepidation.  How about you?

No, Super Tuesday has nothing to do with the Super Bowl.  Unlike the Super Bowl where we really only watch at half-time for the commercials, this "Super" event will actually control OUR LIVES and the lives of our children.  Yet, many tune it and the events leading up to it, out completely.  Now why is that?

On Super Tuesday, which has been moved up a full month this year because of a bunch of idiotic states who want the spotlight, at least 20 of them will hold presidential primaries to decide who gets the nod to run as president next year in November.  Once Super Tuesday passes, our fate as Americans is all but sealed my friends.  The fight for America's future will essentially come down to 2 individuals with much different philosophies.

So, there you sit and as you're reading this you think to yourself all the typical brainwashing blather from the media.  "I don't make a difference and the whole system is corrupt, so who gives a crap anyways."  Well, if you already think this way, who am I to change your mind, right?  Let America go to hell, screw the country's future, so what if we go the way of the Roman Empire.  The problem with this style of thinking is that the FUTURE IS NOW and it will affect YOU!  Ask yourself the following 3 questions before giving up on America's future:

1) Do you want another 9/11-style attack to happen?  If you answered NO, then you want to tune in and follow this presidential primary.

2) Do you want your kids, nieces, nephews, dog, whatever to grow up in a country that becomes a Third World nation because of global competition, a broken TAX system and illegal immigration "gone wild"?  If you answered NO, then you just might want to tune in and follow this presidential primary.

3) Do you want your take home pay to plummet as your wages go to hell in a handbasket and taxes more than double to cover the costs of an overloaded social-security system and other government give-aways?  If you answered NO, then it's a safe bet you'll be tuning in and following this presidential extravaganza!

This election is a seminal event in our time.  We stand at the crossroads of a 60's vision of european-style socialism versus the traditional America that built the biggest free market economy in the history of the world!  No other country in the world enjoys our standard of living but THEY WILL SOON if we don't get our heads out of our butts and wake the heck up.

Mobilize Grassroots Troopers!  Time is dwindling just like it was for the Roman Empire in "Gladiator".  They were too busy at the Colisseum watching the lions feast as the government crumbled around them.  Let us not make the same type of mistake or we will live to regret it!

Fred Thompson is being starved by the mainstream media.  Their plan is to boycott him as much as they possibly can and by doing so, the campaign money will chase Huckabee, Romney and McCain.  Thompson will slowly wither on the vine as the saying goes and nothing could please socialists from coast to coast more!  Thompson needs to get on the stick and the time is now!  He needs to seize the agenda, he needs to BECOME THE MEDIA STORY!  How to do this is the question and I have just the idea.  But it will take Duncan Hunter's help.......READ ON!
===============================================================

Dear Congressman Hunter,

I am an East Tennessean who absolutely adores you and your son.  The moment I realized your potential was when you had all the reporters to a meeting where you unveiled a sample meal that was representative of what the unlawful enemy combatants at "Club Gitmo" eat.  Do you remember that masterful display?  I watched your stroke of genius on C-SPAN live.

I am a conservative blogger on an up and coming site called TownHall.  In past weeks my blog, the Meat and Potatoes Blog has listed as high as number 4 in the top 10.  Not to say that I'm the next Robert Novak but I do tend to attract some eyeballs as I evidently combine an attractive writing style with an undeniable degree of wit.  The eyeballs keep coming so someone must be entertained!

I would love to work for you on a campaign but I feel that the only realistic way that could happen is if you run as Fred Thompson's "wingman" and let me explain why.  Fred Thompson is the closest thing, ideologically to YOU that we conservative/traditionalists can find on our side of the aisle.  Both of you are strong on the U.S. Constitution and both are free market capitalists.  I love your stance on illegal immigration "gone wild" and I feel that ole Fred could be whipped into line on that one as well.  However, Fred does have the advantage of being a Hollywood actor and this difference, in today's society, is what tips the balance in his favor.

What if Thompson could be persuaded to announce you as a running mate during the primary process?  Think about how landmark and absolutely outside the box this would be!  By having you on the bottom of the ticket, Thompson could declare that you will have as your biggest tasking, the crack-down on illegal immigration and absolute closure of the southern border.  Kind of like Bill Clinton declaring Al Gore the "global warming czar" but without all the B.S.!  This would begin a talk radio buzz and media firestorm that WILL dominate the nation at a critical time as "Super Tuesday" approaches.

Let's face it, Fred Thompson IS the actor and you know what that means?  He's the closest thing we've got to a Ronald Reagan.  Lord knows we could use "the Gipper" these days as things are coming unraveled quicker than a sweater in a cartoon with the little bird flying away.  Fred Thompson has the connections and has the NAME recognition to attract the dunderhead votes, I'm just being fully honest here.  If you ran as VP, just think of the White House dominance that would follow for 2016!  We have to think long-term and big picture here.  That's just the philosophy of a blogger in "fly-over country" who follows this stuff very closely.
