Obama retreats to the bunker

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, August 24, 2009 11:34:00 AM
He's in the bunker folks.  That's right, our beleaguered president "Dumbo the Puppet" is battening down them hatches over on Martha's Vineyard while the polling numbers are showing his approval ratings at new lows.  A little tip there Dumbo if you do leave your bunker, I wouldn't let Ted Kennedy do any of the driving on the Vineyard, especially over that bridge at Chappaquidick!  It could get ugly.
 
Yesterday was my birthday and my what a present I received when the weekend polling results came in.  Obama with a negative 14 point approval index, his worst showing ever!  Keep in mind that the approval index is a comparison of those who strongly approve (the idiot, ignorant drones combined with the communists like Ryan) versus those who strongly disapprove of Obama's efforts.  Right now, 27 percent strongly approve while 41 percent strongly disapprove.
 
All polling of LIKELY VOTERS shows Obama firmy entrenched in the 40's with Rasmussen showing a 48 percent approval and Zogby showing an abysmal 45 percent.  Disregard the polling from the leftist, biased, erroneous media as they question all Americans, even those who wouldn't recognize the inside of a polling station if their life depended on it!  The only results worth considering are those that reflect the views of informed Americans and naturally they would be likely voters.
 
Bottom line is that Obama has achieved the impossible folks. He has managed to squander an unbelievable level of political capital in just 6 months.  Not even Jimmy Carter could accomplish that!  Meanwhile, his foreign policy agenda items are stalled or floundering about in crisis as we sink deeper into a quagmire in Afghanistan.  Obama is playing "whack-a-mole" and it's due to an overly aggressive gameplan of trying to do too much too soon.  Let's chalk it up to inexperience and a feeling of invincibility, most likely facilitated by the extreme media tongue-bath he's received since almost day one of his campaign!
 
Now, the Obama forces see fit to desperately play the race card   As if anyone of cognitive ability believes we'd be much more supportive of his Marxist agenda in the event his skin suddenly turned white!  What a laugh for them to even attempt this but keep in mind that leftists are hideous creatures (just look at the young Marxist Ryan who foolishly comments ad nauseum on this blog) with Machiavellian modus operandi.  Anything goes when it comes to tricking people into buying their socialist/Marxist agenda folks as they will stoop to the lowest of levels and destroy anyone standing in their path to absolute control!
 
The latest rumor is that democRATs might use a procedure known as "budget reconciliation" to ram through the public health insurance option and bypass the "supermajority" requirement of 60 votes in the U.S. Senate.  This would be "dirty pool" on their part because the process of reconciliation was meant to fund existing government programs during a budget impasse, not create entirely new gargantuan government programs such as the one(s) being considered.
 
If democRATs attempt to hi-jack our Constitution and use a "nuclear option" against the threat of a filibuster, they will be writing their own political death warrants!  Most Americans believe in and cherish their Constitution, they will not tolerate it being subverted for any reason.  But this logic will fall on deaf ears aboard the "Democrat Crazy Train" we call Congress.  Driven by hideous fanatics like Reid and Pelosi, this train will careen down the tracks out of control, until the tracks come to an end in November 2010.

Obama-Care dead, what's next?

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, August 16, 2009 3:11:00 PM
As I wrote yesterday, Obama-Care is dead (for now).  They may try to resurrect it later on but I'm not sure when the opportunity will present itself.  Perhaps if the economy rebounds massively and we are suddenly flush with cash at the U.S. Treasury but I think I've got a better chance of marrying a supermodel before that happens folks! :-)~
 
So with admissions today by Kathleen Sebelius and Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND) that the "public option" (which was Obama's signature issue mind you) has no chance of passing, Team Obama will push for a seriously "watered down" bill that may do things like increase oversight on insurance companies.  Oh and of course, there will be more "Czars" appointed by presidential fiat.  How nice....
 
But here's the real question for Grassroots Troopers out there to ponder: What do we do next?  We have all these people fired up big time over the intrusiveness of the federal government and worried about the looming debt collapse, perhaps in our lifetimes.  I say we seize the moment and start catering to these folks, not as Republicans but as "Constitutionalists"! 
 
This is an important distinction because most people link Republican to big government just as they link democRAT.  Most people don't understand the nuances between the two parties nor do the know their history about which party has always sought to grow the size and scope of the federal government.  Our government schools are woefully inept when it comes to teaching anything, nevermind history and when it comes to the FDR-era (known by me as "Socialism Gone Wild"), millions of people have been brainwashed as to what truly went on back then! (Yes, this would include everyone's favorite young Marxist rube, Ryan.)
 
So, unless you want to get into a serious history lesson when deputizing Grassroots Troopers, it's best to just ask people the following: Do you believe that our federal government today is respecting the limits on it's power under the U.S. Constitution?  Then sit back and wait for a whole host of answers.  This is the crux of the issue folks and if we can't get people to consider it in a serious and thoughtful way, then I have little hope for our nation's future as a representative republic.
 
Nowadays I tell people "I'm a Republican by default" when they ask me what party I belong to.  They usually laugh and I continue with "Today's Republicans are too busy trying to be democRATs and the democRATs are too busy trying to be Marxists!"  I dream of a day when I can beat my chest and proudly proclaim again "I'm a Republican because my party supports and defends the U.S. Contitution!"
 
I hope that day comes along before I die.

Obama-Care: Stick a fork in it!

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Saturday, August 15, 2009 1:45:00 PM
Stick a fork in it folks cuz it's done!  That's right, Mister Meat and Taters is going out on a limb and calling the Obama healthcare hi-jacking dead as a doornail for the near future.  Why?  Because of one simple reality, today's democRATs are cowards.
 
Remember my "Funny Democrat Slogan" I use on a regular basis?  "Sure we're snobs, liars and COWARDS but above all, we're hypocrites first and foremost".  Well, I capitalized the word "cowards" for a reason because all the evidence I see is showing a democRAT party in retreat.  Today's biggest sign is the embattled democRAT traitor from PA named Congressman Jack Murtha.
 
Murtha has gone on the record admitting that Obama-care is not going to happen this year or perhaps at all.  This is a huge admission from someone who is right up there, cozy with Nancy "the Tuna Lover" Pelosi.  Murtha knows what the rest of the conservative blogger community has known for some time:  that the election of a Marxist demagogue like Obama has awakened this country.  Thank God!
 
The Obama agenda has scared the American people like few things could.  Oh sure, they'll go back to sleep after awhile but for now, they are fired up and loaded for Obama's henchman.  Just look at these town meetings!  They've turned so nasty at times that cowardly democRATs won't even attend!  This is great folks because it perfectly displays their cowardice so all can witness and remember.  I've been saying for years that democRATs could care less about their constituents, all they care about is using them to acquire and retain the power they so desperately seek.  Remember a democRAT Congressman from PA named Paul Kanjorski (Hazleton area)?  He spilled the beans that democRATs had NO INTENTION TO END THE IRAQ WAR in 2006.  The only reason they said they could end the war was in their lust to take back control of Congress.
 
Well now they have control and have had control for over 2 1/2 years.  During this time period, our gas prices went to the stratosphere, our mortgage industry imploded, our auto companies were thrown into absolute bedlum, the stock market cratered and worst of all, the American people have been TORN APART IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DE FACTO CIVIL WAR!
 
Thank-you democRATs for awakening the American people with your penchant for radical leftist policies.  Something tells me your time at the helm of America is dwindling to a finish in 2010.  In the meantime, keep demagoguing the people at these town hall meetings, keep calling them "un-American" and "mobsters".  Yeah.....that's the ticket for a one-way trip back to minority status. (giggles)

Michael Vick: The "Clinton Standard"

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Saturday, August 15, 2009 1:24:00 PM
Michael Vick is back as I predicted he would be......LEAVE HIM ALONE!  I couldn't believe the negativity on Fox News Channel last night about Vick's return to the Eagles.  Only Charles Krauthammer (whom I adore mind you...) had the sense of mind to unequivocally state that Vick has a right to return to the NFL and rebuild his life.  Bravo Charles, I knew there was a reason you received that journalism award a few months ago! :-)
 
Simply folks, Vick has been punished for the "al-Qaeda like" behavior he engaged in.  He was punished much more severely than other public figures in our society who have committed much more eggregious acts against our civil society.  To wit:
 
1) Bill Clinton- subverted the U.S. justice system as its Chief law enforcement officer by lying under oath, getting others to lie under oath and obstructing justice.  He paid over a million in fines for this behavior and was impeached by Congress as a result.  Only the cowardly acts of democRAT senators (who now hold our nation hostage) were able to avoid his removal from office, a true travesty of justice.
 
2) Eliot Spitzer- Worked tirelessly as Attorney General of New York to go after people engaging in prostitution but when elected as Governor of New York, guess what?  He felt the rules about soliciting prostitution didn't apply to him.  Has he been punished enough?
 
3) Sandy Berger- As Bill Clinton's NSA Chairman, he was in charge of safeguarding documents which dictated programs to ensure our national security.  After leaving his position, he took orders from Bill Clinton to go into our National Archives and STEAL some of those same documents to cover up mistakes made during the Clinton Administration in dealing with terrorism.  Berger was "stone cold busted" on stealing these documents, taking them out of the National Archives, hiding them under a construction trailer and destroying them. He received no real punishment except the loss of his security clearance which can be re-instated after a small period of time.
 
By contrast to these 3 losers, Michael Vick was truly hammered!  He was pilloried in the media on a daily basis for months and he paid millions upon millions in legal fees and fines.  By even a conservative measure he was destroyed financially.  Further, he was paraded into a courtroom in shackles and leg irons, placed before a jury of his peers and punished with almost 2 years in jail. This guy, as reprehensible as he may appear to animal lovers (and I am one with a cat named Condi...) has paid his debt to society!  Now leave him be.....
 
Here's what I wrote about Michael Vick almost 2 years ago, on the subject of "The Clinton Standard" read on if you wish.....
 
http://meatandpotatoesblog.blogtownhall.com/2007/09/01/michael_vick,_a_great_man!.thtml
 
Is there more Michael Vick can do to repent for his sins?  Of course!  For instance, he could donate some of his football earnings (if there are any...) to the SPCA and help finance the creation of animal shelters where people can go adopt animals lacking a good home.  He can go around the country during his off-season giving speeches (for free) about the importance of being humane to animals.  Finally, he can work his damnedest to become a role model to children across America by reforming his life and keeping out of trouble.
 
Bill Clinton has apparently reformed his sorry life (but he's still a coward), perhaps Vick can too.

Afghanistan: Vietnam Redux?

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, August 10, 2009 10:54:00 PM
They say history repeats itself folks.  Let's take a case in point:  Limited warfare being waged by Democrat pacifist pu$$ies in a land far away that contains ruthless enemy combatants who know the mountainous terrain and its tunnel systems by heart.  Haven't we seen this flick before?  I think it was called "Vietnam", just throw in some jungles and a proxy to feed them weapons!
 
News is out today that the costs and complexity of fighting "Barack's War", otherwise known as the "War on people who do bad things", could easily top those of Iraq by several multiples.  In fact folks, I smell another Vietnam brewing over there.  Call me crazy if you must.
 
Some things to consider.....
 
1) Afghanistan is truly third world and most of its provinces look like something out of the prehistoric world with NO infrastructure at all.
 
2) The citizenry are utterly uneducated, they cannot read or write and are destitute.
 
3) The country has no real productive capacity to fund a military and its only real source of income is opium production which goes to fund terrorist groups including the Taliban.
 
4) The terrain is as rugged as anywhere on earth, anyone in the military will tell you that terrain complicates military operations immensely!
 
Not trying to be a kill-joy folks but we were told by the leftists who now control the US military that the REAL war was not in Iraq but in Afghanistan.  They better be damn careful not to pull another LBJ/McNamara on us, once was enough!  Link to the article:

Zach Wamp in ETN tomorrow

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, August 10, 2009 1:34:00 PM
Meat and Potatoes Loyalists know that I rarely deal with local issues as I get such a charge out of the democRATs and their antics on a national level.  Plus, I see the greatest threats to my liberty and freedom at the national level.  Please indulge me while I switch gears and cover an event that is local in nature and extremely important.
 
Some will remember that I go "cuckoo for cocoa puffs" over the pride of Tennessee, Congressman Zach Wamp (R-TN). Zach was elected during the "Republican Revolution" of 1994, right after the Clintons tried stealing our healthcare system away from us.  Funny how history has a way of repeating itself, eh folks?  But I digress......
 
Ole Zach's hotter than a 2 dollar pistol and when he speaks, people must think he's related to E.F. Hutton because they perk them ears up and listen real good!  We need a statesman like Rep. Zach Wamp during these phenomenally trying times in America with our Constitution under an almost daily assault by the Obama administration.  Look at the way Obama's henchmen forced states like South Carolina to take the bailout money or else.  What do you think a Governor Wamp would have told Obama to do with his stimulus money?  I'm thinking of a tight orifice where little sunshine can be found! :-)  Get it?
 
Zach will be visiting East Tennessee tomorrow (August 11th) and will be speaking at "Gunny's Indoor Shooting Range" in Maryville, TN.  The event will start at 3pm, just as the Rush Limbaugh Show is coming to a conclusion so you won't have to miss any of Maha-Rushi's profoundity!  Convenient eh?  I wonder if they planned it that way.....hmmmm.
 
If you wonder why I believe in Zach so much, it has to do with the way he supported President Bush during the darkest days of the Iraq War as the democRATs worked their damnedest to subvert the effort and hasten defeat.  Zach stood up on the floor of the People's House in Washington, D.C. and said this about the effort to confront radical Islam:
 
http://www.house.gov/wamp/media/Override.Veto.wmv
 
Congressman Zach Wamp is in no small part responsible for the success we see today on the streets of Iraq and that's a fact!  He makes decisions based on what is right (in his gut) and not based on what the pollsters say.  That's called "moral courage" folks and it is sorely needed both here in Tennessee and at the national level.  Statesman versus politician, which do you prefer?

democRAT cowardice on display

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, August 09, 2009 1:02:00 PM
Few things are more cowardly than undermining your own troops when they're overseas dodging bullets and IED's.  We know Democrats rose to that task on an almost daily basis as they tried to hang defeat around the neck of George W. Bush.  I believe it was Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader who declared the war lost on national television and got front page coverage by Al-Jazeera. Nice job you "mendacious pipsqueak".
 
But today we have more convincing proof (if we weren't already convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt) that today's Democrat party is a collection of cowards and it has to do with these town hall meetings.  Democrats have announced that they will be conducting these forums by phone or satellite hook-up because the "mobs" pose a threat to their safety.  Can you believe this?  Typical conduct to be expected from a party that stood in lockstep behind a draft-dodger when he lied under oath.
 
Don't forget my favorite "Funny Democrat Slogan" which can be found along with many more slogans in my archives:
 
"Sure we're snobs, liars and cowards but above all, we're hypocrites first!" :-)~
 
Only funny because it's true folks!
 
Addendum: On an somewhat related note. Connecticut is home to one of the finest examples of my "Funny Democrat Slogan" listed above.  Yes, I'm talking about that scoundrel who took sweetheart loans from Countrywide Financial, one Sen. Chris Dodd.  He's being challenged in 2010 by a brilliant conservative intellectual named Peter Schiff.  If you've not heard me promote Schiff in my previous blogs let me say that you would do well to learn from his wealth of knowledge on economics and investing.  And if you'd like to learn more about his candidacy or perhaps make a donation to his campaign, here's the website link:

How to twist Obama's arm....

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, August 03, 2009 1:21:00 PM
Everyone knows about the birth certificate issue with possible exception of the 30 percent "drone factor" who support Obama no matter what he does or how miserable me makes our lives in America.  As previously posted on here, WorldNetDaily has a copy of an alleged birth certificate for Obama from Kenya.  Who knows if it's legitimate and hopefully this will be determined very soon.
 
So what's an opaque individual like Obama to do in the meantime?  The only acceptable answer for a Marxist is to deny, obfuscate and if all else fails.....STONEWALL.  His phalanx of lawyers have tied this issue up for months now and will seek to tie it up for all eternity but it could easily be dispensed with, if only Obama had the truth on his side.
 
All Obama's team has to provide is a "long form" of his birth certificate which could be obtained from the state of Hawaii if he was truly born in the United States.  Additionally, Obama could release his college records at Harvard and Occidental College as these have private information about his entire life. There's a reason he's hiding these records and I can assure you, it has nothing to do with his grades.
 
Now there's ONE GROUP OUT THERE which can force Obama to capitulate on this issue.  If they express their will collectively, they can snap Obama's resistance like a twig.  This group is our military.  I know it will sound subversive but I am ENCOURAGING ALL MILITARY MEMBERS TO REFUSE ORDERS TO COMBAT from the alleged President Obama until proof is provided that he's a legitimate Commander-In-Chief.

Please, if you know someone out there who is in the nation's military, discuss this possibility with them and let them know that several US service members have already taken this course of action.  Not because they are cowards looking for a way out of combat but because they are PATRIOTS WHO LOVE THEIR COUNTRY AND ITS CONSTITUTION! 
 
Only our brave men and women in uniform can force Obama's hand on the birth certificate issue, only them.
 
Addendum: I just found out that tomorrow is "Dumbo the Puppet's" birthday.  What an appropriate day for him to prove once and for all, whether or not he was born in the United States as is required under the Constitution!

Obama Birth Certificate: Is it real?

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, August 03, 2009 12:38:00 AM
World Net Daily has a birth certificate from Kenya on its website tonight that allegedly belongs to "Mister Teleprompter" or as I love to call him "Dumbo the Puppet".  Who knows if the document is real but tell you what, let's ask Mary Mapes and Dan Rather of CBS News (emphasis on the BS!) what they think about its authenticity.  If it's good enough for them, then it's good enough for me.  Losers.....
 
You know what's really sad to think about?  How far we are into this guy's presidency and how much damage he's done to our future without even knowing IF HE'S A LEGITIMATE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF!  What if he isn't eligible under the U.S. Constitution? Do we have a magnificent "do-over" of sorts where we say "Ok let's unspend all the money and cancel all the BS pork-barrel projects!"  No, of course not.  What's done is done, whether it's legitimate or not.  Oh well, so sad too bad.
 
The American people may be asleep on this birth certificate flap but at least our military troopers are paying attention.  Several of them have refused orders to Afghanistan and Iraq on the grounds that this guy hasn't PROVEN HIS LEGITIMACY as Commander-In-Chief.  "Hats off" to all of them that have the guts to stand up to a guy who can't even produce the documentation necessary to prove his eligibility for president.  So much for the "most transparent administration we'll ever have in Washington, D.C.".  What a joke folks!
 
Check out the document online at World Net Daily's website right here:

Tax Day = "Cash for Clunkers"

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, August 02, 2009 1:53:00 PM
From now on, April 15th is no longer "Tax Day" as I've seen fit to rename it "Cash 4 Clunkers Day". Why? Well because each year I stroke a nice, big check for a government that is loaded with nothing but clunkers.  All these programs I bally-hoo about on a regular basis are failing and headed for bankruptcy just as we are about to do what?  Look at creating another one.
 
Unlike Fannie, Freddie, Social In-Security and Medicare, NONE OF US can live without healthcare which makes the stakes in this fight over socialized (Canadian-style) healthcare or "Single-Payer" all the more grave. (You like the use of the word grave there? I learned that one in government schools....7th grade I think!)
 
Make no mistake about it my fellow Grassroots Troopers, the democRAT-Socialists who control this government as a "Crazy Train" (theme song provided by Ozzy Osbourne) are out for one thing and one thing only:  FULL GOVERNMENT CONTROL! Oh sure, they say they just want to provide health insurance for the uninsured but that's not what they say when outside the reach of "state-run news media" cameras/microphones.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Barney Frank and President Obama himself are all on tape stating that the ultimate goal is a "single-payer system" with the goverment being the payer using funds confiscated from YOU by force! If you don't believe me, just go to Youtube and do a quick search of their archives.  I would do it for you but I'm too busy burying my gold coins in an underground vault out back!
 
Now, the hardcore statists mentioned above and a whole list of reprobates too lengthy to mention here know dang well that you'll demand their heads if they try what Hillary Clinton tried in 1993.  Remember her closed-door healthcare debacle that she attempted when "the Father of 9/11" (hubby) put her in charge of something she had no authority to attempt?  If you forget those days due to heavy partying or the ignorance due to youthfulness that plagues us all, please do some review.  Advisors to Hillary such as Ira Magaziner told her to not push for "single-payer" all at once but she swung for the fences!  The result?  People said "No way Jose!" and voted in a Republican-led Congress in 1994, it was called the "Republican Revolution" and led to Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America". :-)
 
Obama and his fellow statists are students of history, they know better than to make the mistake Hillary Clinton made in 1993.  They will take a page out of a male teenager's playbook and try to achieve the "objective" in stages.  "What do you say we just sit in the back of my dad's Chevy Impala.  I promise nothing will happen back there except maybe a little bit of kissing."  The ultimate objective remains the same folks, no matter what the rhetoric may sound like from a teenager or a democRAT-Socialist and trust me, there isn't much difference!
 
Let me paint a depressing picture for you:  Once government has the healthcare industry under its thumb with a taxpayer-subsidized insurance program, the private insurance providers will wither on the vine as they lose subscribers.  Employers will terminate their own insurance programs and kick their employees over to the government system to save money.  Eventually, all US citizens and illegal aliens who will flow into the country for the new benefit by the millions, will be on the program.  Doctors and nurses will see the impending government-created disaster on the horizon and either quit training or leave the profession.  Primary care providers, emergency rooms and clinics will become overloaded much like they are in the "Commonwealth of Massachusetts" (my former homestate).  Any attempts to receive medical care in the United States will become similar to a local DMV visit and we all know how fun that can be, right? :-(
 
We must repel this attempt by the statists to create "Fannie Med" as Senator Jim Demint (R-SC) has called it.  Once this "entitlement to end all entitlements" is created, our country will never be the same again.  Time is running out as the vote is scheduled for September, please get out there and start deputizing fellow Grassroots Troopers now!

Palin: The NEW Frontier

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, July 26, 2009 2:14:00 PM
It is indeed a bittersweet day for Alaskans as their finest governor steps down to save America from President Barack Hussein Obama. Remember my thesis of what Sarah Palin is up to?  If not, delve into my voluminous archives and do a little light reading.  Your intellect will be stimulated as you read things not available through more erudite political analysis.  Keep in mind that the allure of the Meat and Potatoes Blog is that I give you the "meat and potatoes" of what the heck is going on in the world of politics, without all the flowery and confusing "inside the beltway" speak.
 
All the media can say about Sarah Palin these days is that her future is uncertain but consider this:  Her future is no more uncertain than that of the United States.  I don't care what the stock market indexes are doing in the short term, the longer term trend is downhill for this country and if you don't get that FACT, just take a look at our currency over 30 years versus other industrialized nations.  The dollar is losing value every year, to wit:  In the 1970's, one US dollar was equal to about 380 Japanese yen.  Today, it's about 95 yen no kidding!
 
Meanwhile, our entitlement system of "handouts you can believe in" is by every measure BANKRUPT.  Social In-Security, Medicare and other programs which people consider a "birthright" are running out of money in your lifetime.  America hasn't the wealth or the industrial dominance to develop the wealth necessary to fuel these programs run amock.  Like sands through an hourglass, time is running out for a country currently on a glidepath to financial implosion.  All we can do is rob funding from some programs (such as the military) and direct it at the gargantuan, growing out of control welfare state.
 
When things are this hopeless and uncertain, where do you turn and what do you do?  The only answer is to try a totally new approach, one that hasn't been tried in a long time.  The answer?  Conservatism.  It hasn't been tried since the 1980's and even so, it wasn't tried to its full extent due to the FACT that the Congress was controlled by leftist democRATs for almost all of the 1980's.  Idiots like Robert Byrd and Ted Kennedy were in charge even back then and President Reagan had to contend with them.
 
We need a government that is, for once, conservative in ALL aspects.  As such, this government will respect the limits on governmental power set forth in the U.S. Constitution.  Remember that little concept (insignificant to leftists) called Federalism?  If not, look it up in my archives or through other sources such as The Heritage Foundation.  Today's federal government wouldn't know the concept of federalism if it came up and kicked it in the knockers!  So where in tarnation am I going with all this?
 
I believe with every ounce of my integrity that Sarah Palin can lead this country out of the darkness we find ourselves plunging into with the Obama administration and what I've referred to as the "Democrat Crazy Train" (Whoooo-Whoooo!).  In order for this to happen, a way must be found to wake up a sleeping electorate of ignorant and apathetic souls.  My hope is that the deep economic pain we experience today will facilitate this awakening but one can never be sure.  This is why strong leadership is needed by someone who can teach people about our past mistakes in straying from the Constitution and its founding principles.
 
Please follow this link to read what I wrote about Sarah Palin almost a year ago and learn WHY she is someone to lead the new conservative movement in America:

Obama's still "puttin' on the hits"!

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Friday, July 24, 2009 3:21:00 PM
Our beleaguered "Commander-in-Grief" is still doing the "electric slide" folks. Remember when I said this over a month ago? 
 
"My prediction?  Obama will continue on his hardcore leftist agenda and as a result, he'll keep puttin' on the hits.  Before you know it, he'll be hanging out with Glenn Miller in the 40's! :-)"
 
At that time, Obama was in the high 50's approval rating wise but in very alarming fashion, his "Approval Index" according to Rasmussen Reports was a negative one.  Today, that index is standing at a whopping negative eight!  Gee, I wonder why......
 
If he's not out bashing his country and apologizing for its rank oppression around the globe, he's busy tearing down capitalism to replace it with a mixture of fascism and socialism.  Today, he's doing battle with a small city police department over a local issue?  Whiskey, tango, foxtrot, over??  President Obama:  We don't know exactly what happened between this cop and Professor Gates.  Years ago, we would be inclined to take the officer's claims at face value.  But police in this country have done so many stupid things and we've seen it with our own two eyes thanks to dashboard cameras and videotaping by foreward thinking citizens.  Thus, police have lost their credibility and have nobody to blame but their fellow officers.  Oh well, I cover that problem in my "Cops Gone Wild" series here on the blog.
 
While police investigators comb through recordings of the event and get the testimony of witnesses who detail what went on in Cambridge, Obama should be busy trying to get this lousy economy pointed in the right direction.  Obama is like the kid who has a term paper due in a week and he's busy cleaning his room!  Step up to the plate and put policies in place that will CREATE JOBS President Obama or you'll find your approval rating not at 49 percent (according to Rasmussen today) but down in the 30's.
 
Here's the link to Rasmussen Reports, a very reputable polling outfit which called the 2008 presidential election spot-on:
 
So, if Obama hits the 30's, who will he be "puttin' on the hits" with then?  Benny Goodman?

Cronkite was indeed a STATIST

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, July 20, 2009 1:36:00 AM
I hate to kick a man when he's down folks. Especially in Walter Cronkite's case since "down" for him is 6 feet under.  However, this issue of a corrupt, leftist, "state run" news media is so important and we really need to hammer the point home.  Do you realize what a threat to our freedom and our future, an out of control biased media can present?  I shiver at the thought of what they can still do today!!!
 
The evidence is clear and convincing, Cronkite was indeed a leftist....a statist.  In my previous entry about him, which made the USA Today top blog entry by the way, I only cited his anti-war activism.  The point is incontrovertible that he was absolutely key in turning public opinion against the Vietnam War and bringing about our defeat.  But on a whole host of other issues, Walter leaned left.  Like that's a big surprise to those of us with brains!  But still, the goal of the Meat and Potatoes Blog is to wake-up Double D's, remember?
 
So in that vein, I have come across an article on World Net Daily that makes for excellent reading on the REAL Walter Cronkite.  Enjoy!

Ted Kennedy made a splash

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Saturday, July 18, 2009 2:12:00 PM
This weekend is the 40th anniversary of Ted Kennedy's famous splash off the bridge at Chappaquiddick.  As Mary Jo Kopechne suffered a slow, agonizing death by asphyxiation in the back of that car, Kennedy walked home with mind racing as to how he would cover his tracks in the ensuing days. A web of lies and pay-offs to the Kopechne family (courtesy of Dad's "rum running") took care of any real punishment in the end, how convenient!
 
Despite what occured that fateful evening, Kennedy became the patriarch of the Democrat party along with another coward of similar stripes, Bill Clinton.  My, my, how much these two men have in common.  The one difference is that Kennedy is in what I suspect are his final days and he has little time left to atone for his sins. 
 
God is waiting Senator and so is Mary Jo Kopechne.

Cronkite is gone, thank God

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Saturday, July 18, 2009 1:32:00 AM
"And that's the way it is" tonight folks as the best example of leftist media bias is no longer in our midst, thank God.  Walter Cronkite bid us a fond farewell and now God has to deal with him.  Who knows what will happen to his soul.  For you atheist leftists out there, he's just plain gone and his memory will live on in shame for a few minutes or hours, I guess.
 
Cronkite's claim to shame was helping the Democrat party undermine the sacrifice of 58,000 men in the Vietnam War.  When Walter declared the war lost, it was curtains for sure and the support for the war took a slow, painful nosedive.  Within a few years, Democrats were able to cut-off funding for the war and that led to a slow pull-out of troops.....before South Vietnam was ready to take on the north (and the Soviet Union) by themselves. Eventually in 1975, the communists were able to advance on Saigon and America was handed a stinging defeat.  Millions of people in South Vietnam who helped the Americans were either killed or made to suffer and I'm sure their families are big Democrat supporters to this day.......NOT!  Come to think of it, I'm sure these Vietnamese could trade stories with the Iraq families who also felt the effects of Democrat subversion in a war as they made it MUCH more difficult to win.  But that's another story for another time.  At least the outcome was different this time, thanks to talk radio, Fox News and the internet. :-)
 
I doubt Cronkite died a happy man as he watched his "state run mews media" disintegrate at the hands of a "new media".  Driven by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, this new media has taken over the essential job of disseminating information that is so vital in a democracy like ours.  I know many people who haven't tuned in to CBS News since the early 1980's when Dan Rather took the helm and none of us will ever tune them in again.  The "state run media" have lied to us and lost our trust.  Once trust is lost, it is a very difficult thing to regain no matter how hard an individual or an entity tries.  What do you think Cronkite felt when Mary Mapes was fired and Dan Rather had to resign in shame over the use of FABRICATED MEMOS as they tried to subvert a presidential election in 2004?  I'm sure his heart was heavy with disgust and even a little outrage at what CBS (emphasis on the BS) has become in modern times.
 
So while we contemplate the future role of the "state run news media" in America, Walter's soul is crying up in heaven.  Why? Because he is being hounded by the thousands of souls who died in the Vietnam War.  They've been waiting for Walter all these years and now they see fit to remind him of their sacrifice and how he undermined the cause for which they fought and died.
 
Personally, if I was one of them, I would kick his sorry rear-end to Kingdom Come!
