Soldier shooting in Arkansas: Alarming trends

Despite the best efforts of our "helpful" mainstream media to cover it up, most of you know about the murder of Army Pvt. William Long down in Arkansas on June 1st.  It seems the leftist scum such as those at Newsweek magazine were more concerned with the murder of an abortion doctor in Kansas because they can use that story as a tool to beat conservative pro-life folks over the head.  Good luck!
 
Placing all that aside, this case of Carlos Bledsoe (the shooter's real name by the way) is very alarming and highlights a trend I've seen in this country with black people:  the conversion to Islam.  Today, the biggest religion being embraced in U.S. prisons is Islam and many of the new devotees are black.  I wonder why this is happening?  The only explanation I can offer and it may sound crazy, is that this is a way for bitter, disaffected blacks to rebel against the whites in America who are overwhelmingly christians.  Although my reason for believing this is anecdotal, I will share the story of a co-worker who first opened my eyes to the possibility.
 
I noticed her reading a Quran one time during a break at work and just being the curious sort I asked her, "Oh I see you're doing a little reading about the Islamic religion?"  Her response was a declarative, "Oh more than that, my husband and I converted to Islam several years ago and are proud Muslims."  Now without even asking her why, she continued to inform me as I noticed the big chip placed on her shoulder.  "My husband opened my eyes to the racism and hatred in American christianity nowadays and he got me to convert."
 
This case of Carlos Bledsoe better open our eyes to a new possibility when discussing the spectre of "homegrown terrorism" in America.  What will happen to these folks when they leave prison as newly converted Muslims?  Will they embrace the peaceful side of the religion or strive for martyrdom in waging war against the American infidels?  Just something to consider as we delve deeper into this senseless act of terrorism which took the life of a young Army private and threatens another life as well.
 
One more question we need to ask is why wasn't Carlos Bledsoe stopped sooner and placed in prison where he belonged.  In 2004, he was arrested by the Knoxville (TN) Police Department for possession of loaded assault rifles, shotguns, brass knuckles and other things a terrorist might find handy in carrying out a "one-man jihad".  Why did the Knox county D.A. dismiss all charges against this guy and let him go scott free?  Was there a racial component to the exoneration or did higher ups at the federal level intervene?  We won't know because folks at the D.A.'s office aren't talking.  That is, until someone at The O'Reilly Factor or another "pit-bull like" organization applies some much needed pressure.  Here's the news story in the Knoxville News Sentinel about Carlos Bledsoe's brush with the law:

The Normandy Invasion: Could we do it today?

I got up to watch my Saturday morning financial shows on Fox News Channel and instead of getting some "Bulls and Bears", guess what I got?  A nice, big helping of "Dumbo the Puppet" doing what he does best, reading a teleprompter at Normandy.  "Oh yes, the anniversary of D-Day is on a weekend this year, I forgot", I thought to myself as I searched for my bottle of ginko biloba.  
 
My short-term memory may sometimes be lacking but my long-term is crystal clear.  I remember a time when a President got up and gave ALL HIS SPEECHES in support of our troops in harm's way, not just some of them like "Dumbo the Puppet".  Oh sure, Dumbo will get up there today and laud the bravery and sacrfice of so many from the "Greatest Generation" but tomorrow he'll get up and say our troops in Iraq are fighting a war of choice or being made victims of flawed decision making.  By the way, I shut the TV off as Barack read his teleprompter with flawless precision, words mean nothing when they are delivered by a man-child who commands no respect.
 
I'd rather honor the men of D-Day on this 65th anniversary by re-reading what I wrote a year ago and listening to the speech Ronald Reagan gave on the 40th anniversary.  Now that was a speech if I've ever heard one!  The link is at the bottom of this entry.  Enjoy!
 
The Normandy Invasion:  Could we do it today?
by the INFORMER  June 6th 2008

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!

An open letter to China

Occasionally, eyeballs in China will glance at the Meat and Potatoes Blog.  Thus, I see fit to write them this open letter for all to see.
 
Dear China:
 
May I say your cuisine is excellent and the only thing which surpasses it?  Your manufacturing capacity.  I'm impressed by the growth of your country in a very short time and would have the utmost respect for you if it had not been for that little incident at Tiananmen Square 20 years ago THIS WEEK.  Very sad to see your own citizens mowed down and crushed by tanks for trying to engage in a peaceful protest.  You know that freedom and liberty thing?  You should look into it.

Moving along, there is this little issue you folks have with us about our outstanding debt.  What is it up to these days, about 1.3 trillion dollars?  How do I break this to you China...... You are never going to see a penny of this money and even if you do see a penny, it will be worthless, inflated currency that comes fresh off a printing press at the Federal Reserve.  I'll bet you really want some of that! :-)
 
You see, America is a declining debtor nation in crisis, sort of like your neighbor next door who drinks like a fish, got fired from his job and is going through a nasty divorce.  Would you lend that guy a penny of your hard earned cash?  Didn't think so!
 
So why do you lend America more and more money?  We have over 70 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities for social security, medicare and other FDR-era programs that are going to go "belly-up".  We can't pay for those programs, nevermind send some "green" your way!  If I were you, here's what I would do China.....
 
Just cut America off!  That's right!  Go tell Geithner and Clinton to pound sand next time they beg for you to buy more of our debt.  Heck, I would go a step further and start cashing in our bonds.  You don't need the interest from these bonds any longer, you're already the most prosperous nation in the world today.  You've built up your manufacturing capacity (thanks to the good ole USA) to the point where you can supply your own people and the rest of the world with everything it needs.  So go ahead and "cut the cord" already.
 
You'll be better off for it China and you know what?  America will be better off because this country is headed for the GREATEST of all depressions someday anyways.  It's not a matter of IF...... it's a matter of WHEN.  All you do by continuously financing our debt is delay the inevitable China.  Just "pull the plug" and leave us alone either to grow up and wake up.....or die.

Filibuster we must!

The cacophony of concession is in the air folks, from people who are supposedly fighters.  One individual who fights ad nauseum for his Fair Tax endeavor (which will never happen, mind you) thinks using a filibuster on Judge Sotomayor just wouldn't be a fair way to fight.
 
Such misplaced righteous indignation from a man who urges fighting tooth and nail on other issues.  Funny how he picks and chooses.
 
I say fight on every front because the damn country is worth too much to give up!  Every single bit of the fight is important and that includes letting a racist statement making, sexist, policy making judge sit on a Supreme Court that has been alarmingly activist!  Look at what this woman has said in her public statements and ask yourself this question:  Would a defense attorney even allow her on a jury in light of her beliefs?  The answer is no.  So why then, would we let her adjucicate cases which affect all of us?
 
Just look at the rulings over the past few years by what I've called an "out of control, ROGUE court".  We had the Kilo v. New London case where the court ruled that a local municipality can rob you of your personal property rights by taking your property and giving it to a developer (in cahoots with local government, of course).  We also had the Massachusetts v. EPA case where 5 of the justices decided they would like to work for the Weather Channel and become meteorologists.  They declared that carbon dioxide is causing that evil known as "global warming" (BARF!).  Top it all off with the DC v. Heller case last year where we JUST BARELY got a verdict that decided the 2nd amendment was an individual right for each one of us law abiding Americans.  This should have been a 9-0 victory!
 
Folks, I'm going to say it again that recent proof is clear.  This Supreme Court is only supreme when it comes to one thing:  Taking away your freedoms and liberties by being ACTIVIST IN NATURE!!  Throwing in a leftist like Sotomayor is only going to make things worse for us during the very trying years ahead.  Republicans with any cajones need to give Democrats a dose of their own medicine with regard to the way past judicial nominees have been treated.  FILIBUSTER, FILIBUSTER AND FILIBUSTER SOME MORE!!!
 
If you have to move cots in like the Mendacious Pipsqueak did about a year ago, then move 'em in on national TV.  If you've got to get up and talk about your dog named "Billy" for 18 hours like Robert "the human sleeping pill" Byrd did once many years ago, then do it!  The Democrats "let the genie out of the bottle" on this filibustering judicial nominees routine and once the genie is out, he's out dammit!  Why should Republicans try to be so prim and proper by setting the bar so much higher than Democrats?  I say FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!!
 
Just think about this:  Has Republican timidity and principled conduct worked in their favor thus far?  I see brass knuckled liars who divide everyone based on race, income and class in control of EVERYTHING in Washington, D.C. 
 
Sometimes you have to descend to your enemy's level to battle him effectively, just be careful not to become the monster you face.

Who's your daddy? Maybe this guy!

Folks, I am extremely ashamed to say that my adopted and beloved hometown made the news today for all the wrong reasons.  It seems that we have a stellar product of the welfare state in America who definitely gives meaning to the question: "Who's your daddy?"
 
Read the article and think about how America got to the point where we have such an irresponsible piece of human garbage as this guy running around loose in society.  Simply, OUR POLITICIANS CREATED THIS CONDITION by enabling such behavior, sanctioning it viz a viz the Welfare System in America which began under that highly regarded socialist named???  Franklin Dumba$$ Roosevelt.
 
People are calling for this guy to be castrated, I say just throw him in jail and use every legal maneuver to keep him there.  Maybe he can experience a change in his "football position" from a tight end to a wide receiver! :-)~  It would serve him right.

Before anyone jumps on me consider this: the illegitimacy rate in the black community is 72 percent.  We are in deep trouble.

Daily Meat and Taters

Those who seak a diet of daily "Meat and Taters" have been wondering why their plate has been empty as of late.  Reason is that I'm just frustrated, depressed and too burned out lately to do something that makes me no money.  So, I've been steering clear of Town Hall and doing other things like working on a bright red 1989 IROC-Z that I'm restoring.  Mmmmmmmmm...this iconic beauty reminds me an oh so magical time in America when things were very much different in our government.  But I digress.....
 
Comments from my readers are the key to an extrication from my deep funk so I encourage you to get in touch!  By the way, I am still hitting up Twitter with daily "Tweets", as they call them and I encourage you to add me:  http://twitter.com/GrassrootTroopr
 
Here are some of my daily tweets about a new and improved Obama attempt to restructure our country, this would be the nomination of an individual who isn't even close to being Supreme Court material, namely Judge Sotomayor.
 
1) "Republicans need to stand up and oppose this Judge Sotomayor nominee based solely on principle. If she gets on the court, then so be it!"
 
2) "I swear folks, if I hear the word EMPATHY used in decribing this Supreme Court nominee one more time....I'm going to heave my guts all over!"
 
3) "Empathy has no more place in the courtroom than sympathy, sorrow, hatred, jealousy or ANY OTHER EMOTION which would threaten impartiality."
 
4) "This woman was either sooo stupid or sooo brazen to ADMIT IN A SPEECH at a college how judges are able to use their position to MAKE POLICY!"
 
5) "Look at her ruling about a white firefighter in New Haven, CT who scored the highest on an advancement test. You will see her true colors."
 
6) "Folks, the last thing we need on the Supreme Court is a racist judge who thinks her job is to legislate policies like she's a congresswoman."
 
Remember when you're reading the tweets on Twitter that you have to read from bottom to top or things will seem out of whack.  You don't want to get confused like Obama trying to read his teleprompter on St. Patrick's Day! :-)~

Click, click, click..radios going off. Why?

"Click, click, click" across the land...what's the reason why?  Radios are being shut-off in East Tennessee and other areas after someone made the fatal decision to allow Jamie Dupree (the douchebag) on hour 2 of the Neal Boortz show.  You see, little Jamie with the restricted nasal cavity is usually relegated to hour 3 of the show when the ratings really don't matter.  Some markets see fit to chop off hour 3 and stick it at 9pm, 10 pm or even MIDNIGHT like it is here in Knoxville on WNOX 100.3FM.  That way, the truckers can get a chance to shut-off their radios and talk on the CB instead! haha  Then they can tune back in for Coast to Coast AM at 1am.
 
When are you dolts at the Boortz show going to get the message?  We don't want Dupree the liberal douchebag on a supposedly conservative talk radio show!  I've made it clear that Washington's dumbest and most biased reporter has no place in this venue.  There's no compromise on this issue and if you keep it up, you'll see hour 2 joining hour 3 in the crapper!
 
Get it? Got it? Good!

A fallen sailor....inches from my feet.

Folks, I'd love to write an entry today for Memorial Day but frankly, I'm just too damn depressed.  Do you even need to ask why? Let's just call it the long national nightmare we embarked upon last January.  I'm at the end of my rope with this guy and truly feel as if America is in its dying days. 
 
Enjoy a post I made ONE YEAR ago for Memorial Day.   Perhaps I'll re-read it and inspire myself out of this dangerous funk.
 
A fallen sailor...inches from my feet
by the INFORMER May 25, 2008
 
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.

I FEAR for an America in decline.

We are embroiled in very challenging times for our nation and the road ahead will be a tough one.  If you feast on a regular diet of "Meat and Taters", you know that I talk at length about the national debt.  This debt will NEVER be paid back and with time, just paying the interest on the debt will be a challenge for our country.  The sad fact is that America has become a declining debtor nation and the American voter is to blame since he/she elected the irresponsible idiots who allowed this to happen.
 
I have come to the conclusion that America is no longer a world's superpower.  Sure our military is the envy of the world but we don't have the wealth any longer or the productive manufacturing capacity to power such a military on a grandiose scale.  Look how the effort in Iraq and Afghanistan has strained our military and worn out its equipment.. Going forward, the biggest challenge to our country (in addition to our debt) is to break free of the dependence we have on other nations to manufacture the things we used to make ourselves.
 
This will require a second "Industrial Revolution" in America and will be much more challenging than the one in the latter half of the 19th century because this time we will have to compete with a global economy in possession of a nice head-start.  Just some things to think about before the next election season or perhaps even the next Tea Party on July 4th.  While you're at it, you might want to let folks know where you were confronted by such lucid thoughts, courtesy of that relentless "modern day Paul Revere", Mister Meat and Taters!
 
I wrote about America's decline last year, read on and learn about the reasons behind it.  Only by looking at our mistakes can we hope to survive going forward into the future.
 
 
I FEAR for an America in decline
by the INFORMER  October 25, 2008
 
This may be my last post before the election and might even be my last post for quite some time.  I have said everything I can say about this election and the choice before us but there is something I haven't talked about:  The state of the American electorate today and why WE are so responsible for all these problems.  We are an America in decline today and the financial tsunami we are witnessing is the clearest and most convincing proof I can find that the electorate has been sending the wrong people to Washington!
 
Simply stated, government has created the conditions for our current national nightmare but who is responsible for the composition of our government?  Whether it be the energy crisis that kicked the living hell out of the auto and airline industry or the housing bubble that left us reeling, the proof is clear.  The roots of socialism have grown into this economy over 75 years and most Americans don't even get it!  We have an ignorant, disengaged, apathetic and lazy electorate ladies and gentleman.  This electorate has abdicated its responsibility to support and defend the Constitution, let alone even understand the Constitution.  Most people can't name their Congressman or Senators at the federal level and haven't a clue about how government functions.  They will go into the voting booth and blindly vote for a demagogue like Barack Obama because their union boss said to, their neighbor said to or simply because they recognize his name.  When asked why they voted for him, these people will say "Because it's time for a change" with no other specifics which indicate an understanding of his policies for the future.  This is a scary reality and makes me fear for the future of my country.
 
The real genesis of the downward spiral our nation faces can be traced back to when another expert demagogue was elected to high office, that man was FDR.  He was able to seize power, place socialists on the Supreme Court and unleash a package of New Deal government control that plagues us to present day.  Ergo welfare programs, social security, Fannie Mae and other government run amock.  These programs ran roughshod over the U.S. Constitution but Roosevelt's restructured Supreme Court gave him the rubber stamp of approval and poorly educated voters re-elected him to as many terms as his lifespan could handle.  Roosevelt set the standard playbook for all Democrats who followed in his footsteps:  spew jealousy, hatred and despair amongst the middle class towards wealthier people who own businesses and create jobs so that government can rush in and establish fairness by seizing power.
 
This model has worked great for government as it has swallowed up more and more of the private sector but it's been a disaster for those of us who don't dine at the government's table.  The programs created by Roosevelt have become "sarcred cows", unable to be skewered and their budgets are growing at alarming rates.  Most people don't understand this, nor do they care.  So long as their I-Phone is working and "American Idol" is on at the proper time, it's all good.  Eventually, they WILL care......when disaster strikes.
 
Disaster will strike when countries no longer have faith in America's ability to pay back its debts.  We are already in debt over 9 trillion dollars and the future UNFUNDED LIABILITIES of social security and other FDR era programs have a price-tab of 70 trillion bucks!  Once we are judged a financial failure by the rest of the world and they no longer buy our bonds, we will only have one option to pay our massive financial obligations:  print money just like the Weimar Republic.  Our currency will become absolutely worthless and it will only be a matter of time before we witness absolute financial implosion of our economy with no alternative but to redefine the currency and start over or join some form of a globalistic currency such as a "euro-dollar".
 
Sorry to be such a depressing pragmatist folks but there's a storm front on the horizon and it's my duty to scream from the rooftops.  Now, all you Grassroots Troopers get out there and do your duty, for God and country.  Inform your neighbors, friends and co-workers.  If they remain asleep, this nation is doomed for many years to come.

A Catholic no more...

I've been looking for an excuse to "s-can" the Catholic church for several years in the wake of priest pedophilia and then churches giving asylum to illegal aliens who would not respect our immigration laws.  Today, I have just the excuse I need.
 
Allowing President Barack "Dumbo the Puppet" Obama to not only speak at the Notre Dame graduation but receive an honorary doctorate degree has convinced me once and for all that the Catholic church is filled mostly with hypocrites.  Yes, that's right.  The same people who stood up for cheating on your wife in the 1990's with a 21 year old intern and then lying under oath about it have this time pushed things too far.  Do these people even know about Obama's record on abortion and stem cell research?  Probably not.
 
I was raised a Catholic my whole life and attended Our Lady of the Lake while growing up as a kid in Southwick, MA.  It's sad to see everything the church stood for being thrown down the sewer in exchange for a moment of media attention.  But is it a surprise?  No, not at all.  I saw Catholicism falling apart at the seams and its hypocritical parishoners standing for nothing, many years ago.
 
I shall never set foot in a Catholic church again.

Government grows while people get laid-off

I've been pounding this theme home ad nauseum for months now and today there is more proof that what I'm saying is right on target like a Tomahawk cruise missile!  Folks, there is a new war being waged in this country and it's the Government sector versus the People sector.  In common vernacular this would be stated as "Public sector versus Private sector".  Those of us in the private sector are among the "New Slavery Class" in this country and many are losing jobs BY THE MILLIONS!  But what about those in government?
 
Government is adding jobs BY THE MILLIONS with well paid workers who make an average wage of $75,416 according to an article posted today on the Drudge Report.  The source for the article is CBS (emphasis on the BS) and I hope they've done their research because I'm placing the reputation of the Meat and Potatoes Blog squarely on their shoulders.  Perhaps I should pray?
 
Seriously though folks, we need to wake this country up to the threat posed by a Public sector growing out of control.  Each government worker being hired means one less worker in the Private sector where most of our nation's progress is achieved.  Was Microsoft formed in the government sector?  How about Boeing aircraft, Ford Motor, Caterpillar, IBM or General Electric?  None of the companies you rely on everyday to make your life easier and more fulfilling were created by PUBLIC SECTOR BUREAUCRATS!  They were formed by PRIVATE SECTOR PATRIOTS who worked their fingers to the bone by inventing and innovating to their heart's content.

Obama's "Sister Souljah" moment

The verdict is in folks, President Obama blew it big time at the White House Correspondents Dinner the other night.  Simply, he missed his "Sister Souljah" moment.  As this 3rd rate comedian Wanda "Psycho" laid into Dick Cheney and other Republican leaders, Obama just sat there and laughed at the sickening vitriol being spewed forth by this hateful and divisive woman.  What would you have done if YOU were president?
 
Right about the time Miss Psycho said "I hope Rush Limbaugh's kidneys fail!", Obama should have stood up and walked over to her.  Placed an arm around her and said, "Wanda, this is a little over the top and certainly not in good taste.  Perhaps we can have jokes of a different genre from here on out?"  But of course, deep down in his soul Obama agrees with Wanda Psycho and his performance the other night is yet ANOTHER GLIMPSE INTO HIS SORRY CHARACTER.
 
This country is in deep trouble folks.  Grassroots Troopers need to use this example to illustrate the absolute hatred and divisiveness that not only infests the leftist-controlled Democrat party but the black community as well.

Jeb Bush...pulleeze

Folks, I've had it up to my eyeballs with the Bush family of late.  Father and son were so capable at giving the leftists perfect talking points to be uttered by dunderheaded douchebags.  Try this sometime:  go up to an obvious Obama voter and ask them "What do you remember about President Bush (41)?"  You most likely get this gem "Read my lips, no new taxes".  Then ask about President Bush (43) and you're just as likely to get either "compassionate conservative" or "he spent like a drunken sailor". 
 
These are the narratives of the leftists who control the majority of our media when it comes to the Bush family and ignorant voters who pay little or no attention to political matters have been POUNDED with this message so that they can recite it with ease.  Try it, if you don't believe me!
 
Now look who's out there, giving the statists additional talking points?  It's Jeb Bush.  I nearly did a forward flip out of my chair today when reading that ole Jeb wants us to throw Ronald Reagan under the bus quicker than Obama threw his white grandmother.  How dare you Jeb?  You rode Reagan's coattails to your political victories no doubt by invoking his memory in speeches and using his ideas at town hall meetings and in debates.  Reagan-esque conservatism (which descends actually from Barry Goldwater...a great man) was good enough to get you elected as governor of Florida but now it just doesn't measure up, now why is that?  Could it be due to the possiblity that the only prolific candidate in recent memory to sound like Reagan was a woman from Alaska?  You bet.
 
But poor Sarah was saddled with a worn-out, wishy-washy moderate who tries to be all things to all people and she didn't stand a chance.  I wrote several times that Sarah Palin should have been at the top of the ticket and my wildest, wet dream was to see her debate Mister Teleprompter or Dumbo the Puppet as I call him, you pick.  Sarah would have gone up one side of Obama and down the other as the crowd cheered her and Reagan's memory on!  If given the chance, Sarah Palin would have made clear that America was built in the private sector and now the public sector is tearing it down.  Hard working, creative, intellectuals are literally slaving away so unproductive mildly disciplined underachievers can look forward to "puttin' in their 20" and retiring with fat government pensions.
 
This isn't the country Ronald Reagan envisioned when he talked about "Morning in America" and Sarah Palin knows that as well as the rest of us conservative intellectuals.  Our leadership searches for a message to give to the confused moderates who were tricked into voting for the "trojan horse candidacy" that was Barack Obama.  Well here's a message and coincidentally, it happens to be the title of a book that is number one on the NY Times Bestseller list last time I checked:  "Liberty and Tyranny".  I've nicknamed Mark Levin's blockbuster book "Republicans and Democrats" by the way and I hope he laughs when I tell him on the air sometime!
 
Republicans stand for liberty and as such, we stand for the PRIVATE sector.  Democrats by contrast, are mostly statists and stand for the PUBLIC sector.  As the public sector grows rampantly at the expense of the private sector, we are pushed farther towards tyranny.  Does this sound like a simple message to bring forth to the dunderheaded douchebags who surround us?
 
Now if I could just get Sarah to say it.....

Arlen "Spectacle" Flashback

By now you've heard that the "modern day Benedict Arnold" known as Arlen Specter has left the Republican party but did you know that just over a month ago, he was in an interview telling "The Hill" newspaper that he was staying a Republican?  Yes, it's true folks and I'll tell you what else is true.  This "Spectacle" is a lying charlatan who must be gotten rid of next election cycle.  Start saving your pennies for a nice campaign contribution against this guy, it's time we put this tired, old, worn-out piece of garbage in the trash heap.
 
Here's what I wrote about this guy when I called him a "Repuss-ican" back on February 9th:  (you are going to love this!)
 
Sen. Arlen "Spectacle", A Repussican for certain
by Sean Plankey
 
I feel sorry for the good, conservative folks of Pennsylvania.  Not only are they burdened with 2 huge cities infested with liberal schmucks, they have the biggest horse's arse of a Senator in the U.S. Senate.  As a former resident of Massachusetts, I know all about having a POS in the Senate whom you'd like to get rid of but can't because voters are too disconnected, too ignorant or just downright stupid to do so!  The only alternative is to pack up and move which is just what I did for a variety of reasons and politics was right up there on the list.
 
Sen. Arlen Specter is a "spectacle" of idiocy, immaturity and lousy judgement.  He is the new "Lincoln Chaffee" of the Republican party and he must be gotten rid of as soon as possible.  Do yourself a favor and listen to the interview of this douchebag on today's Sean Hannity Show.  This guy could give a teenage punk a good run for his money when it comes to quibbling, sea lawyering and passing the buck on responsibility.  Ever wonder who taught Bill Clinton to twist words and debate the meaning of the word "is"?  Well I'm willing to put money on the possibility that ole "Spectacle" was giving Slick Willie some coaching behind the scenes.  What a piece of excrement this "sad sack" truly is....as I said in the beginning, I feel sorry for you Keystone Staters.  There isn't much you can do except pack up and move!
 
 
People of Pennsylvania, don't force yourself into having to pack up and move south like I did.  Get rid of Specter at the earliest possible opportunity, November 2010.  The time to organize as Grassroots Troopers and begin subverting this guy's candidacy is now!

Obama and Arlen "Spectacle" Tidbits

This 747 fly-by disaster scared the living dogsqueeze out of thousands of loyal Democrat voters in NYC yesterday.  Yet this White House feels it is necessary to pass the buck and deny knowlege of the event.  Pleeeeeease......
 
Whether or not Obama knew of this little photo shoot is irrelevant folks.  As Commander-in-Chief, Obama is RESPONSIBLE for the event and his teleprompter should have him step forward, take responsibility and apologize to the good liberal citizenry of NYC for the gaff.
 
Otherwise, he might just lose himself some voters for the 2010 elections and we wouldn't want that now would we B.O.?
 
On an unrelated note, it is a great day indeed when we can say good bye to a walking piece of excrement like Arlen Spectacle of PA.  This guy is as big a piece of crap as Barney Frank and to have him wearing a D next to his name on the Senate stationery gives the GOP the biggest boost to its image since Newt Gingrich took control of the House of Representatives. in November 1994.
 
Good-bye Arlen Spectacle, I hate your guts as do many other members of a now cleaner Republican party and I hope you lose in 2010 as a Democrat, sir.  We will work our damnedest to defeat you and that louse Jack Murtha.  The Keystone State needs some cleanin!
