Supreme Court "Gone Wild"...uh oh!

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, June 15, 2008 7:29:18 PM
There have been many decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court that have shocked Americans to their very core.  Recently, in the case of Kelo v. New London (2005), the court favored the needs of "the state" at the expense of constitutionally protected personal property rights which kicked a woman out of her house so a strip mall could be built.  Look it up!  I'm keeping this simple and giving you the Meat and Potatoes here, not the full blown dissection.  I'm here to entertain and inform, not make you cut Zzzz's!
 
If that decision was a "brush fire", the decision this week to give terrorists habeus corpus rights or "due process" as it's called must certainly be a "5 alarm blaze" gone wild!  Simply put Grassroots Troopers, this decision was a doozy!  This court took longstanding judicial precedent in the case of Eisentrager v. United States (1950) and turned it into mincemeat, in an instant.  By doing so, they gave terrorists more due process rights than we gave LAWFUL enemy combatants at the Nuremburg Trials after World War II.  So how did the court do it and why?
 
The court did it by passing off the preposterous notion that Guantonomo Bay, Cuba is a U.S. territory.  Thus, they were able to trigger mandatory reference to the Constitution and allow each of the UNLAWFUL enemy combatants in Guantonomo Bay to petition U.S. Federal Courts for a hearing as to their guilt or innocence.  In case you didn't figure it out, Gitmo was selected to keep these animals out of U.S. territories and avoid this EXACT thing from happening!  Do you think it was picked for its excellent tourist offerings such as surfing and snorkeling?  Come on!
 
This Supreme Court has been out-of-control for many years and is steeped in a leftist, European-style, activist mindset.  President Bush made a major and practically miraculous turnaround with the appointment of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito but it appears that the court is still plagued with subversives who can exert their influence to rewrite the Constitution at will by these razor thin 5-4 decisions.  Our concerns should now be trained on the upcoming decision in the case of D.C. v. Heller, a validation of our citizens' right to keep and bear arms.  In the wake of this latest verdict, I am quite fearful.
 
Wake-up call boys and girls!  Despite the efforts of President Bush, we still have a rogue U.S. Supreme Court!  What can we do?  Short of amending the Constitution, absolutely nothing.  We can only sit on the sidelines and hope that God's Will may intervene.

Funny Democrat Slogan Time

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, June 15, 2008 4:19:35 AM

Again this past week, the dastardly Democrat party voted down any attempts to open up the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) to oil drilling.  According to geologic studies, the OCS contains at least 86 billion barrels of oil and could supply fossil fuel needs for over 20 years as we transition to other forms of energy/transportation.  Keep in mind this is an area between 50 and 200 miles from our coastlines and China is already drilling it with a zest that reminds us of Bill Clinton chasing 21 year old interns!

Reasons for the opposition by such distinguished gentlemen as former NASA "space cadet" Bill Nelson (D-FL) were as follows:  "We don't want to do any damage to our beaches."  Just to put the stupidity of this comment in perspective, when I was in the US Navy we would throw our trash overboard at 12 miles from shore or greater.

So to illustrate the folly of Democrat obstruction in solving this energy disaster, I give you a favorite slogan of mine: 
 
"We'd rather buy oil from terrorists than drill for it ourselves because we're smart!" 
 
Start showing them just how smart YOU are this November.

Jamie Dupree: Dumb and detestable

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, June 09, 2008 10:51:06 PM
Guess who's back in the crosshairs folks?  That's right, it's that detestable dufus from the nation's capital, Jamie Dupree.  Time to smash some of his many myths as heard on today's Neal Boortz Show in the "information overload hour".  The segment should be named "More useless sophistry from a buffoon posing as a reporter".  I used to think he was just a useful idiot of the left-wing but come on folks, nobody could be ACTING this dumb!  Here we go, I'll try my best to recall his missteps, even though I was riding my bike along the waterfront and distracted by the "scenery"......
 
1)  Boortz asked him who was the most bizarre VP candidate in US history?  Dupree stumbled along for what seemed to be an eternity, of course searching for a REPUBLICAN or a conservative to name as I'm screaming out loud "Geraldine Ferraro!!!"  You remember her right?  The militant feminist who ran as "Mondull's" VP in 1984 and had ties to organized crime through her husband.  She recently ran into trouble with comments about Barack Obama that could be construed as somewhat racist in nature.  Instead Jamie had to pick a military HERO and fellow Naval Academy graduate (so pardon me for taking umbrage), Admiral James Stockdale.  May he rest in peace. 
 
2) When Boortz discussed the Hillary "good-bye speech" given on Saturday, it became obvious that little Jamie was crestfallen.  He sounded like the little boy who lost his puppy and it became all too clear that he's still in the tank for "Shrillary"!  He made the point that Obama spent so much more money, no wonder he won.  Well gee Dupree, Hillary had the name recognition and originally the media backing her big time.  It wasn't until the Iowa caucus that Obama even registered with any big media, of course he had to spend money to get his name out there.  Do you understand that the underdog might have to outspend the "annointed one" Dupree or is that something you are unable to comprehend?
 
3) About high fuel prices, little Jamie thinks you're a whiner if 4 bucks a gallon is all that big a deal to you!  Yeah, sure, 100 bucks to fill up your pick-up, no big deal.  Truckers parking their big rigs, airlines cutting flights, people selling SUV's on Craigslist for pennies on the dollar but Dupree feels that there is no real public outcry.  He claims that nothing will get done in Washington until fuel gets up to 6 or 7 dollars a gallon!  I'm not making this up folks.  Let me say something to whomever employs this guy:  Whatever you are paying him, it is TOO MUCH!  He redefines the word dunderhead and that's not a word I use loosely.  Fuel at 4 plus dollars a gallon IS a crisis and it will have massive consequences.  Dupree also claims that people are not ready to place blame on Democrats or Republicans for the calamity but once again, he's an idiot who is oblivious to the historical record.  Democrats routinely vote against expanding domestic energy supply on the order of 85 percent or more of their members while Republicans vote just the opposite.  A Democrat president vetoed an attempt by Republicans 13 YEARS AGO to expand drilling in ANWR that would have resulted in over a 1,000,000 barrels of oil per day. 
 
Ok, this is getting way too long, I apologize.  It is just that when Jamie Dupree talks, so much psychobabble comes out of his mouth that you could spend a lifetime documenting it.  My advice, don't even listen to the 3rd hour of the Neal Boortz show until about 25 minutes after the hour, that way you miss the segment with Washington's dumbest reporter and save yourself some serious frustration.

"Cruel, cruel summer": Ancillary effects

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, June 09, 2008 7:11:13 PM
How are you enjoying your "cruel, cruel summer" so far?  If you're part of the Al Gore contingent, you must be pleased as punch with the early heat wave we're having this year.  Few will remember that just a few months ago, we were having one of the coldest springs in a long time so I suppose we live in a world of extremes, this much is true.  I'm not buying into the "man-made global warming" canard, just yet.
 
What I am buying into, however, is the incontrovertible FACT that America is in an energy crisis, accept it!  Energy will cost an arm, a leg and then some into the future.  Our Democrat controlled Congress is stuck in a self-induced paralysis and will do nothing until they have a Democrat as president, thus enabling them to grab all the credit for any improvements.  Even then, solutions will be "green" in nature and will make about as much difference as "whizzing on a forest fire", as I like to say.  Bottom line:  barring some catastrophic event that brings about a geopolitical realignment, we are in this energy "fix" for quite some time.  So, what kind of ancillary effects will higher energy costs have on our society?  This is something that deep thinking "Meat and Potatoes Loyalists" will want to consider, to wit:
 
1) People will drive less - This will have profound impact on all segments of our society that consider automobiles to be their bread and butter.  The car salesman, the tow truck operator, the friendly neighborhood mechanic should all be worried.  Cars being driven less miles per year will last longer and that could affect our auto industry, as well.  Think of how many people rely on the auto industry for jobs.
 
2) People will drive slower to use less gas - This will cut into state tax and speeding ticket revenues.  Why?  People using less gasoline will pay less in state gas taxes and less speeding will deprive cops of their ability to write more tickets.  Some states could end up with major budget shortfalls as a result, especially in the socialistic "blue states" where higher costs are forcing businesses and citizens out in droves.
 
3) Small trucking companies will go out of business - This will make bigger trucking companies much stronger and even give them some monopolistic control.  The result would be shipping costs out of control and people will have no choice but to shift to the only remaining shipping source:  railroads.  Problem is, railroads have been neglected for many years in favor of shipping by truck and the infrastructure will become overloaded.  You think shipping by rail is slow now?  Just wait until everyone and their brother is using rail and then you'll see a speed that makes turtles look fast!
 
4) Airlines will also go out of business - Similar to trucking, the smaller companies cannot handle the brunt of high oil prices and will have no choice but to stay on the tarmac.  Eventually, the major airlines that can last the longest will gain monopolistic control over parts of the country and will set fares where they wish.  The result:  shipping yourself will become very expensive depending on where you want to depart from and where you want to end up.  If you're willing to drive 5 hours to a major hub, you might still be able to travel cheaply but if you desire to leave from the nearest city, get ready to pony up the cash!
 
The effects of an energy crisis are far reaching and people are JUST NOW beginning to get the picture of the misery that awaits.  Keep in mind that most people are "surface thinkers" and rarely think of what is happening in a geopolitical sense around the world.  Rather, they tend to concentrate on what is going on with close family/friends and meeting the short-term needs of this group is paramount.  Sadly, this is the exact kind of thinking we have by our elected leaders who have created all these problems in the first place.  We need intellectual, visionary, "deep-thinkers" who look far into the future, at the helm in Washington, D.C. and we need them soon!

The Normandy Invasion: Could we do it today?

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Friday, June 06, 2008 1:48:42 PM

What's so special about June 6th you may ask?  Well it's the 64th anniversary of D-Day, the Normandy Invasion, where America made an all-out assault to take back a continent and break it free from the tyranny of Nazi fascism.

The United States could NOT undertake such an invasion today!  It would be debated and studied ad nauseum, to the point where the Nazis would have many months to fortify the cliffs and beaches.  Then as the mission was launched, our "helpful" news media would gain knowledge of the operation from snitches in the "shadow government" and alert the enemy with zest, under the guise of free speech!  As the invasion began, the Nazis would be emboldened by the many subversives in our country who would cry from the highest rooftops "Germany did NOT attack us, we have no right to attack them.  The Nazi freedom fighters deserve to be left alone!"  As our soldiers fell on the beach, the news media would report where each one was from and list off their favorite hobbies.  At the end of "the longest day", all Americans would be completely demoralized as they witnessed thousands of bodies lying in the sand and floating in the ocean.  Not a pretty picture of failure, is it?  Here is a Youtube video of how a "modern D-Day" would be covered by the news media:
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px_XBJHrs4I
 
As you were reading that depressing passage, I hope you thought to yourself, "This is exactly what is happening today!"  Liberal Democrats and even some Republicans I'm ashamed to admit, have made this preposterous and irrelevant argument that Iraq and Afghanistan didn't attack us, thus we had no legitimate reason to invade either one.  NO S**T SHERLOCK, neither did Germany in World War 2.  We took on the Germans because they were spreading tyranny all over Europe and our leaders knew that isolationist thought would someday doom us when we became the target!

With regard to the engagement of radical Islamic thought, the 1990's was mostly a decade of isolationist thinking by the Clinton administration.  Similar to the nutty in-law at the July 4th party who nobody wants to talk to, it was casually ignored by everyone who had the authority to make fighting terrorism a priority.  The events of 9/11 changed all that, forever.

Now back to the events of the D-Day invasion on June 6th 1944.  By far, the most incredible event that day was the climbing of the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc by our U.S. Army Rangers to take out the powerful Nazi guns placed there.  These guns had unfettered access to the entire landing zone and would have wreaked havoc on our forces had they not been brought under U.S. control.  What kind of person will climb a rope ladder, up a 300 foot high cliff, as Nazi soldiers are shooting at him and throwing down hand grenades?   Well, I suspect it is the same kind of person who will patrol a street in Baghdad, Iraq in 110 degree heat, with improvised explosive devices planted all over the place!

Folks, I could go on and on all day long drawing parallels between the fight against the Nazis on D-Day and the fight against Islamo-Fascism today.  But there is ONE THING for which I cannot make a parallel comparison and that is the level of fanaticism and visciousness of THIS ENEMY.  The Nazis were viscious but they took our soldiers as prisoners of war and brought them to POW camps where they took care of them.  And if anyone has ever watched an episode of "Hogan's Heroes", they know how much fun our troops had there!  Just kidding.  The al-Qaeda terrorists we fight in Iraq today do not bother with such niceties as POW camps, they simply torture our brave troopers then cut their heads off and hang them by their feet from a bridge.  Everyone needs to understand that this is an enemy which takes no prisoners and leaves nothing standing in its way!  With an enemy of this frightening magnitude, you show them no mercy and you certainly do not try to confer constitutional rights on them, rather you kill them on the battlefield or take them to a jail cell in Guantanomo Bay until the END of hostilities or until they rot, whichever occurs first!

Character counts! Who taught us that?

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Thursday, June 05, 2008 4:17:15 PM

If the Clinton years taught us anything, it is that character counts!  Ignore character and you get a scallywag, a scoundrel or to use Bill Clinton's favorite word, a scumbag.  In 1992, we were told by the Clinton-mainstream media alliance, "It's the economy stupid!"  We were told to "get away from character" and look what we got.  A man who is a walking train-wreck, a national embarrassment and we pay for his health care, retirement package and secret service protection for life.  What a great deal after all the "wonderful" things he accomplished for the United States of America.  To wit:

1) He took campaign donations from China and in return gave them most favored trade status, now they're kicking our butts, supplying all of our "China-Marts" and their growth is driving up the cost of crude oil massively!
2) Speaking of crude, Clinton vetoed a 1995 GOP sponsored bill to open up domestic oil drilling.  Hello high oil, good-bye economy!
3) He gave parents an opportunity to explain oral sex (and how it's not really sex) to their 7, 8 and 9 year olds at the dinner table.
4) He gutted CIA funding so that our intelligence would be stellar and lead to mistakes like the ones we've seen since 9/11.
5) speaking of 9/11, he did absolutely nothing about al-Qaeda or any other radical Islamist groups but he did manage to bomb an aspirin factory in the Sudan (on the day Monica "Blewinsky" testified about their love affair...how convenient!)
6) An admitted draft dodger who held a serious disdain for the military, he dismantled it and left it underfunded.

Let's not make the same mistake this time and pay attention to a man's character before you vote for him.  This job as president is just too important to place in the hands of a coward, a philanderer, a perjurer or at the very least, a child.  So where does Obama score in the character department?  That's for you to determine and you have about 150 days to do it.  I believe that character is exhibited in several ways and one of them is by the company you keep.  Let's call it the "Meat and Potatoes Standard" and if we subject Obama to it, he just doesn't measure up.  We already know about Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the rest of the nutcases at the Trinity United Church of Christ.  Well yesterday, close associate and campaign financier Tony Rezko began serving his federal prison sentence for a whole laundry list of political corruption charges.  Liberals will be quick to call it "guilt by association" but we are not talking about guilt here, we are talking about a man's character and we better pay attention to it because the sanctity of our precious republic is at stake!

"Is this DAMN thing finally over?"

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 11:09:28 AM
"Yes Brit, it finally is!"  This was the answer sought out by a Fox News anchor on Special Report last night.  None other than wise political sage, Brit Hume asked the question of his panel and my, oh my does the answer bring music to an East Tennessean's big ears!
 
If you remember, it was your humble correspondent at the Meat and Taters Blog who saw this train wreck coming months ago and I said that Edwards would be the nominee FOR JUST THIS REASON!  Clinton versus Obama was too historic a combination for this point in time and both have serious issues that would dog them in the general election.  Edwards was trouble-free, suave, sophisticated, genial, attractive and equipped with a forked tongue extraordinaire!  The Democrat party will live to regret their decision to send him packing, mark my words fellow Grassroots Troopers from coast to coast.
 
Why you may ask?  Because this general election is over, before it even starts!  Barack Obama is probably the most flawed candidate the Democrat party has offered up since George McGovern.  Wait...make that Jimmy Carter??  Uh hold on, let's make it Bill Clinton?  Or should it be Michael Dukakis?  Sheesh, this is turning out to be tougher than I thought folks!  Point is, Obama has so many skeletons in his closet that he's as beat-able as a pinata at a childrens birthday party!  And who will be holding the bat?  Well everyone in the new media to include talk radio and especially the internet.  Youtube is having a blast as it struts Obama's stuff with his "Pastor Disaster du jour" and his endless string of campaign trail gaffes!  Even the dunderheaded douchebags can relate to images on a Youtube internet video clip.
 
Polling right now shows Obama and McCain neck and neck with all the flotsam and jetsam of negativity swirling around the nation.  We have a war that has been bitterly divisive and costly, an airline industry on verge of collapse, people hawking their SUV's on Craigslist as if they were jewelry at a pawn shop and 20,000,000 illegal aliens with their hands out who are unaccounted and roaming the streets!  Simply put, OBAMA SHOULD BE CLEANING MCCAIN'S CLOCK.  But he's not and the reasons why should scare the Democrats.
 
People don't trust Obama nor should they.  He is untested, flippant and therefore unreliable.  Even the dunderheaded douchebags out there want someone who they can count on when the chips are down.  Kind of like after 2 loaded 767's slam into the 2 tallest buildings in your country and you watch them collape on live television.  Can you see Obama taking the leadership role in an effective manner after something of that magnitude?  I'm not sure but I do know the wounded would get their ambulances and bandages because Obama told us so during a televised debate when asked "How would you respond in the event of a terrorist attack on America?"  Remember that one?  If not, go look it up......I'd start with Youtube.

My airport chat with Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI)

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, June 01, 2008 3:51:39 PM
During one of my "ground sits" in the Detroit Metro Airport on Friday, I had the good fortune to run across none other than committed socialist from Michigan, Democrat Senator Carl Levin.  I never realized how short the guy was, let me tell you.  I felt like I was talking to Danny Devito with a bushy mass of gray hair on his head!
 
Anyways, I walked up to Senator Levin, introduced myself as a conservative web columnist (I hate the word blogger) and proceeded to ask him what the Congress was doing about high oil prices that threaten MY livelihood, the airline industry.  You should have seen Carl squint as he searched for an answer to such a surprising question out of the blue.  He mustered up his best "game face" and said "Well the first thing we need to do is get the speculators out of the way."  I looked at him and chuckled as I said "Ok, so you've removed about 20% of the cost of a barrel of oil, that puts it at about 106 bucks."  Carl realized I was no typical Democrat voter (i.e. Dunderheaded Douchebag) and dug down deep into his bag of tricks for more talking points.  He then said "Well what do you expect, we have an oil man as president and the oil companies are making billions because of his influence over 7 years." 
 
Now, his first parry was legitimate but this one was so loaded with sophistry that I could hardly choke back raucous laughter!  I mean it really took the cake and made me realize this guy had NO IDEA with whom he was actually dealing.  I looked him square in the eye and said "So, the rise in oil prices have nothing to do with the growth in the global economy and the resultant supply problem?"  He looked like someone who just got the intellectual wind knocked out of him, I continued "Wouldn't it make sense Senator to pursue our own sources of domestic oil supplies such as in ANWR and the Gulf of Mexico?"  By this time Levin was getting somewhat frantic and perhaps even a little ticked off as well because I had him TRAPPED ON THE ESCALATOR going up from the tunnel to Concourse A.  He had an overnight bag with him and couldn't run away from me.  It was like shooting fish in a barrel, my fellow Grassroots Troopers!
 
Levin was as desperate as the dateless girl on the night before the prom, so he did the only thing possible at that point:  he DENIED that we have a global supply problem!  That's right, he "played possum" on what each one of us know every time we fill up the family truckster, that supply and demand dictate prices in a FREE market economy and that's life.  Either suck it up or walk, ride a bike, etc.  Of course, Levin doesn't have to suck it up as his transportation costs are picked up by YOU, the taxpayer.  I doubt his ticket on Northwest was paid for out of his own pocket and no doubt he has Congressional vehicles transport him in Washington.  He's out of touch with the burden on America's citizens and deep down I'll bet he doesn't even care.  All he seeks to do is demonize the big, bad oil companies and blame President Bush while he's at it.  What a guy!
 
As we reached the top of the escalator and I knew my time was dwindling, I decided to strike my final blow.  "By the way Senator, did I tell you I'm from East Tennessee, Knoxville to be specific?  We put President Bush in the White House by rejecting Al Gore in 2000."  He looked at me with utter contempt and said back "You ought to be really happy with the way this economy is going these days".  I laughed and gave him his final order "It was fine until a few months ago when energy costs shot up, now get to work over there in DC and get us some more oil, you got that?  I'll be keeping my eye on you!"  He didn't respond, all I saw was the bushy hair waving about as he trotted off to his connecting gate.  It felt gratifying to finally have a socialist-appeaser Democrat over a barrel for a change.  After all, they've had us over a barrel for years.

Tony Snow: God Bless him.

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 10:46:06 PM
Reports are in today that Tony Snow is cancelling speaking engagements and forbidden from traveling by his doctors.  I am worried sick about this great man and have been for the past couple of months.  Everyone please pray for him.  Here's what I wrote back in April:
 
God Bless Tony Snow
 
The latest reports I have heard is that former White House Press Secretary Tony Snow is in the hospital.  God please have it be tonsilitis or a sprained ankle and not the return of that relentless malady known as cancer.  Last summer, when he left the White House after just a short stint as the mouthpiece for the administration, I couldn't help but have a sneaking suspicion that the cancer had returned.  He claimed that he just wanted to get out and earn more money but then it hit me!  That's the EXACT reason a man with a terminal illness would want to get out and hit the lecture circuit.  He has limited time left to provide for his family and each day of potential earnings not to mention time spent with the family, is critically irreplaceable.
 
But I hope I was wrong last summer as I hope I'm wrong now.  Pray for Tony Snow as I do and hope that God keeps him on this earth a good, long while because we need men of his calibre desperately.  I'll never forget his finest moment, right after 9/11 when he gave a poignant "Parting Thoughts" oratory at the end of Fox News Sunday.  He fought back tears as he delivered solemn words of remembrance and they fit the moment perfectly, he said "We watched as people we didn't know....slaughtered those we did..."

Barack's "Auschwitz moment"......

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Wednesday, May 28, 2008 7:15:53 PM
Hillary had her "Bosnia moment" and now Barack is having his "Auschwitz moment", what do we make of this?  Ohhh, it's no big deal, Auschwitz....Buchenwald, they were both concentration camps right?  It's just that one was in Poland and Barack's "uncle" couldn't have been at THAT one unless he was a communist soldier in the Red Army.  Of course, he wasn't a communist and he wasn't even an uncle!
 
No, he was a GRAND-uncle, isn't that grand?  Another Democrat screw-up to fill the history books during an election that will surely go down in history as truly F-U-B-A-R for the Democrat party.  Would you like me to list all the Hillary and Obama gaffes that we have witnessed this election season so you can teach them to the Double-D's you might run across?  Sorry, you'll have to do it on your own because I'm trying to keep this UNDER 1,000 words.  After all, we do have an A.D.D. challenged society these days and I'm always trying to get new readers.  So let's suffice to say these two clowns are an embarrassment and save us all some time.
 
Speaking of saving us some time, I have another idea for you to ponder.  What do you say we just move the election up to next week and get this thing over with, how's that sound?  I mean come on folks!  These two Dumb-O-Crats are an absolute EMBARRASSMENT!  I thought I was ashamed to be an American in the late 1990's when 50% of the citizenry (according to pols) wanted to keep a perjuring, philandering (and possibly raping) president in the White House when he could have been easily removed.  America was a living, breathing soap-opera on a 24/7 basis and it was embarrassing, especially when you met people from foreign countries.
 
So too, today we are slipping back into soap-opera mode, Peyton Place anyone?  Actually, it's more like a soap-opera from hell with ole Mister Perjury showing off his big, red  nose everyday.  You hitting the sauce a little too much there Slick?  No doubt the guilt of 9/11 has him asking his Secret Service agents to make daily "package store" runs.  I wonder what Bill Clinton's drink of choice is?  A "suffering bastahhd" perhaps?  But I digress....
 
I'm not kidding folks, our legislators should pass a bill through Congress that moves UP the voting date from November 7th to next week!  We need to save this crumbling nation the distraction and the embarrassment of any future Democrat exaggerations, embellishments or outright LIES.  If you don't believe so, or if you enjoy this 3 ring circus, please chime in with a comment and tell me I'm full of bunk, ok?  Of course, I'm not going to get my hopes up.  After all, this Congress can't even tie its own shoelaces, never mind bring some relief to this energy conundrum that is making us all grab our ankles and sing in high pitched voices!  I'll just retreat to my "happy place" and imagine it is already the beginning of November.  By the way, I've come up with a terrific name for this political soap opera.  How about "As the stomach turns"?

Worldwide collusion in the fall of the dollar, here's why.

Something to think about as we finally bid farewell to Mister Perjury and his wife the Artful Dodger.  With the arrival of June, the campaign of the century, Obama versus McCain will be in full swing.  And take a guess which candidate the rest of world would like to see win?  Now that is such a tough one.......NOT!
 
Obviously it would be Obama since he is an almost stellar example of a modern-day Democrat.  Weak on national security, willing to sit down and negotiate with terrorists or state sponsors of terrorism and averse to the use of military force.  Now there's a combo the rest of the world would LOVE to see in the Oval Office come 2009!  Reagan had a saying in the 1980's that was simple yet magnificent:  "Peace through strength."  The Obama version might be:  "Peace through appeasement, we don't want to offend anyone."
 
Make no mistake about it, there are nations in this world that resent the living hell out of the United States and would love to see us fall from our position of grace in an uncomplimentary manner.  These countries begrudgingly admit that America is the lone superpower but hope is on the horizon and they want to HELP THE PROCESS.  Being good students of history, they know that the best way to elect a Democrat is to sow the seeds of economic despair in advance of an impending presidential election.  Examples would be the election of FDR in 1932 and the election of "BJ" Clinton in 1992.  Hater nations around the world want to help the process to happen again.
 
How you may ask?  How in the world can small countries around the world who want the USA  to be as weak as possible, affect our democratic process in any substantive way?  The answer is by inflicting pain on our pocketbooks and they're doing it as we speak.  Has gas and the dollar made you holler yet?  If so, you better pay attention to what I'm about to say next.
 
Gasoline and the dollar are intrinsically tied to one another because crude oil is priced in dollars.  One way to send the cost of crude shooting up, is to artificially cause a fall in the value of the dollar.  The way to cause a fall in the value of the dollar is to coordinate all countries (or as many as you can) to dump their US dollars onto the currency market all at once.  Have you noticed that the dollar's fall has occurred in a very short period of time?  I believe this is by no means an accident and it stinks to high heaven folks!
 
Billionaire financier George Soros made his billions by doing exactly what I alluded to in the last paragraph.  Manipulate currencies of nations in the short-term through means that are admittedly unscrupulous.  It would not be hard for a man of his stature, who spends every waking moment plotting and planning how to get a leftist Democrat in the White House, to pull strings around the world necessary to send the US dollar's value into the toilet!  American voters who know little about currency, will see crude oil rise precipitously and blame either "Big Oil" or the Bush administration.  Democrat nominee Barack Obama can pick up the "torch of deception" and run with it all the way to the finish line in November.
 
Truth be told, I have no proof that George Soros is spearheading such an operation.  But I do know that as the leader of a leftist website called www.MoveOn.org he has the motive and opportunity to do so.  Regardless of Soros however, I believe with every fiber of my being that the rapid decrease of the US dollar's value and the ALMOST SIMULTANEOUS rapid increase in crude oil prices are an incontrovertible sign that THE UNITED STATES IS BEING PLAYED LIKE A STRADIVARIUS!  Add to this the fact that it is an election year for the most powerful office in the history of the world and I think you see the motivation for such a duplicitous scheme. 
 
We are educated Americans (if you're reading this column you must be!).  Mature in our approach, sophisticated in our thinking, cautious in our planning and driven by attention to detail almost to an extreme.  Let us not be duped into helping the rest of the world knock us out of superpower status this November.  If they want us to fall from grace......then they better come knock us down themselves!

A fallen soldier....inches from my feet.

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, May 25, 2008 11:06:04 AM
Today, on the 20th anniversary of my graduation from Annapolis, I stood inches above P02 Christopher Watts' deceased body at the Cedar Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Seymour, TN and it hit me like a ton of bricks that I was insignificant, next to a true American hero.  Petty Officer Watts was killed by a USS Cole-style attack in April 2004 and I decided that it would be appropriate for me to visit his grave-site to pay my respects and leave a few mementos this Memorial Day weekend.
 
When I pulled up to the cemetery, I had to hold back tears as the emotion of being in the presence of a deceased war veteran took hold of me.  At first, I thought it was silly to react this way since the individual was a stranger but then it occurred to me that he could have been any one of the enlisted men in my division aboard the USS Valdez (FF-1096). Once it became personal, the emotion really kicked in.
 
And that's the lesson from this story.  It's easy for each one of us to divorce ourselves from the War on Islamo-Fascism so long as we keep it from being personal.  So long as nobody we know or feel a connection with, gets killed, we can remain oblivious.  But that false sense of security won't work because eventually, if Islamo-Fascism isn't vanquished, someone we know and love will end up getting killed.  Just ask the 9/11 families, who felt no connection to the victims of the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, if they realized at the time how far Islamic extremism would impact American society.  I remember reading a memorial flyer for Steven Wentworth, a young Marine from my high school in Southwick, MA who was killed in those attacks and thinking it was an isolated incident that would never reach our shores.  How silly of me, a naive 17 year old at the time.  I wish I could have had the foresight to scream from the rooftops:  "Radical Islam is on the move and it will strike NY City in 18 years!!!"
 
Islamic extremism has reached our shores and it will reach again if we let it!  We cannot allow fine patriots like PO2 Christopher Watts or LCpl Steven Wentworth to have died in vain for that would be the ultimate tragedy.  These men gave their lives in the defense of freedom so that we may live our lives in a manner that is for the most part, carefree. 
 
I left a note at Petty Officer Watts' grave today for his family that read the following: 
Thank-you!
-to the American soldier who defends my freedom at any cost.
-to the parents who fed you, clothed you and taught you values.
-to God for letting me live in the United States of America.
 
God Bless the sailor under this hallowed ground.  We owe him a debt which can never be fully repaid.

Democrats ADMIT they're socialists!

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, May 25, 2008 12:16:31 AM
Ok, you college kids who only want to stimulate your genitals, I'm here to stimulate something MUCHO more important, your cerebral cortex!  It seems that your leftist college professors keep telling you that Democrats are not socialists.  Well, boy oh boy, do I have proof otherwise for you.
 
Here is Maxine Waters, a Democrat regular from California, admitting on national television that she wants to socialize the oil industry in this country.  The "cat is out of the bag" folks, the Democrat party IS the HOME of SOCIALISM!
 
 
Tell me ya'll, where does the U.S. Constitution say that we can let the Federal government run private industries like the oil companies?  Does that mean we let the Federal government run Starbucks, Microsoft, Apple, Birkenstock, Volkswagon and Granola?
 
Someone fill me in here, I'm obviously a right-wing, neanderthal, know-nothing and in need of serious help!

Statesman vs. Politician, which do you prefer?

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Saturday, May 24, 2008 1:20:23 PM
If you haven't read my previous entry "Democrats LIED about ending the Iraq War", let me summarize for you:
1) Democrats out of power for 12 years and lusting after the thought of regaining control of Congress.
2) our troops fighting an extremely difficult and increasingly unpopular war.
3) 3 separate and disastrous events occur which undermine the morale of the American people.
4) Democrats politicize events in a coordinated strategy right before the mid-term Congressional elections.
5) Democrats deceive the American people by making a false promise to END THE WAR if given control of Congress.
 
If you'd like to see what a politician looks like, refer to my previous Youtube clip of Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D-PA) admitting that the Democrats "stretched the facts" when they said they could end the war.  In simple, American vernacular:  they lied.  They knew damn well that they DID NOT HAVE 67 VOTES IN THE SENATE!!!  Why does it take 67 votes?  Because that's what is needed to override a presidential veto like they just did on the pork-laden "Farm Bill" this past week!  Here's the clip of a POLITICIAN:
 
Now, let's take a look at a STATESMAN, shall we?  Meat and Potatoes Loyalists from coast to coast will remember that I go "cuckoo for cocoa puffs" over the pride of Tennessee, Congressman Zach Wamp!  Do I even have to mention that he's a Republican for crying out loud? haha  Ole Zach's hotter than a 2 dollar pistol on that House Floor and when he speaks, people must think he's related to E.F. Hutton because they sure listen!  I wrote a blog about this distinguished gentleman on Myspace before the 2006 elections, please indulge me with that literary creation:
 
I wish Zach Wamp was my Congressman (originally posted on Myspace, 10/21/06)
 
Let's say I stumble upon a magic lantern tomorrow.  I rub it and find out I have my legendary 3 wishes.  For certain, one of those wishes would be that Zach Wamp becomes my Congressman.  Have you seen this guy's TV commercials? 
Missing are the silly platitudes and trite expressions.  These commercials are powerful statements of what matters in America and what Zach will do to fight for what is right.  In one spot, he discusses the value of affordable health care with an elderly woman while in another, he looks compassionately at a young girl as he talks about the stakes in the War on Terror and how her father is integral to the fight.
Perhaps I am just a gullible sycophant, but his message really resonates with me and moreover, his methodology in delivering that message makes an impact few can match!  How lucky the 3rd district of Tennessee is to have this man as their Congressman.  Maybe I'll "pull chocks" and move off to the next county over so that I too can vote for a patriot, who reflects true Tennessee ideals of rugged individualism and self-reliance.  After all, these are the values which built this great nation and more politicians should embrace them.
 
Time for a rare treat, to watch a STATESMAN in action, as he lights up the House Floor in Washington, D.C.  Quite ironically, he's making a speech after the exact thing that Democrats feared and KNEW would happen, a failure to override the presidential veto!

Democrats LIED about ending the Iraq War

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Friday, May 23, 2008 5:40:58 PM
Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D) of PA admitted what we all know about Democrats.  That they will do whatever it takes, even LIE to fulfill their maniacal lust for political power.  In the spring of 2006, I believe they crafted a strategy to recapture control of the U.S. Congress.  Use recent bad news in Iraq to turn as many Americans as possible against the effort and then tell people they will end the war if voters place them in the majority.  Notice he uses the phrase "stretch the facts" but we all know what that's a euphemism for, right?
 
Was it coincidence that Jack Murtha, one of Kanjorski's contemptible and cowardly buddies in Congress was out CONVICTING U.S. MARINES OF COLD-BLOODED MURDER ON TELEVISION?  I believe it was "Meet the Press" with Tim Russert where Murtha explained how the Marines "snapped" and started shooting innocent men, women and children.  Many months later, these valiant troopers were exonerated of all charges in connection with the Haditha incident but did Murtha come on "Meet the Press" and offer a retraction or apology?  Not at all but why would you expect otherwise?
 
I believe after watching this Youtube clip that Kanjorski and Murtha were in cahoots to demagogue the war with one objective in mind:  Gain back control of Congress that was lost in 1994 to Newt Gingrich's "Republican Revolution".  I am convinced this was a coordinated effort in mid-2006 using several events in Iraq, all of them unfortunate, to subvert the efforts of our US military men and women:
 
1) the prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib Prison which the media outlets placed on the front page day after day and used to redefine torture.
2) the bombing of the Golden Dome Mosque in Samarra, carried out by al-Qaeda and meant to ignite sectarian violence.  It worked!
3) the Haditha shooting incident which became public in May of 2006 and was used by Jack Murtha all summer long to demoralize the American people and our troops about the mission in Iraq.
 
Watch the clip and see Kanjorski let "the cat out of the bag" on true Democrat intentions.  Then forward this clip to all your friends!
