Bring back the 1980's...

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 5:08:41 AM
Let me tell you something fellow GRASSROOTS TROOPERS, the closest thing this country ever came to the 1950's was the 1980's and nothing typifies this fact more than the video by El Debarge in 1985, "Rhythm of the night".  Watch or listen to this song and see if your skin doesn't just jump up and do a dance before your very eyes!  This was American culture at its best and we must rediscover it!

PAY it forward folks

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 3:28:54 AM

I walked around town tonight just telling people a simple message:  "Pay it forward".  Do a good deed for people ahead of time with no expectation whatsoever of repayment.  This could include helping them with their daily chores or in my case....

Informing them of the doom for America that may indeed lay ahead.

An economic tsunami is approaching due to our country's financial mideeds and nothing proves this more than the precipitous drop in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen.

In 1970, the U.S. dollar was worth 380 yen but today, it is worth merely 90 yen.  Experts forecast the U.S. dollar to drop in value to as low as 50 yen in coming months.

HOW DO WE STOP SUCH A LOSS IN VALUE?  The answer involves YOU!

Burn it down...then rebuild it

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, June 15, 2009 3:21:09 PM
We're burnin' down the house folks and I welcome it.  Why?  Well for years I've said the only thing that will wake this country up is pain.  Not because I'm a misanthrope mind you but because I'm a pragmatist.  I know that when times are good for many, many years a nation falls asleep and becomes disengaged.  Voila!  I give you the "Fascist State of America".
 
I just found out that while the documented unemployment rate is 9.4%, there is another number known as the "U6 employment data" and it's going unreported.  You see, the reported unemployment number is ONLY people who collect benefits.  What about those who have stopped collecting benefits and moved into their mother's basement?  What about those working a day or two a week, washing dishes, painting houses or picking up other odd jobs?  The U6 numbers take all unemployed into account and it sits at a whopping 16.4%!
 
Meanwhile, Obama is spending all week on trying to ram through another socialistic/fascistic monstrosity billed as "healthcare for all".  What a joke!  Students of history know that when government gets involved in an endeavor, you'll end up paying more and getting less for it.  So too, Obama is a student of history and remembers what happened to Hillary Clinton in 1993 when she conducted her closed-door meetings to hi-jack the healthcare system.  Hillary got clobbered and she helped Republicans gain control of Congress for the first time in 40 years. :-)
 
Obama's people are as audacious as they are cunning.  They are Machiavellian in their means to turn everything over to state control and know that "totalitarian-style" healthcare can be achieved if it's sold to the voters in stages.  The first stage is a government INSURANCE option that is subsidized by taxpayers and offer it to the poor and middle class (including those making up to $110,000 a year!).  Who in their right mind would stick with Blue Cross/Blue Shield when they can switch over to "Obama Inc." and save $1,000 a year?  "Come on, that's money for a cruise or a new entertainment center!  So what if it's money being paid out by a bankrupt country headed for financial implosion, I'm ENTITLED to it!"  This is the attitude that will destroy a nation folks, mark my words.
 
So as things worsen here economically and the "sheeple" continue to be dazzled by Obama's brilliantly delivered yet false rhetoric, we sit on the sidelines and pull our hair out by the roots.  We've screamed "STOP!  Before it's too late.  Stop the crazy spending, stop the crazy printing of money and stop the monetization of the debt!" until we're hoarse but is anyone really listening?
 
I'm starting to think the only solution is to just burn the country down in a financial sense.......then rebuild it.

Hello government-run healthcare

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Sunday, June 14, 2009 3:31:56 PM
It took me 2 minutes of listening to Senator Chris Dodd (Donkey-CT) before I realized we are in for the fight of our lives over this push by Democrat-Socialists for government-run healthcare.  The strategy is in place, the talking points have been memorized and they're being delivered with admirable precision by lefitst mouthpieces such as Dodd.  This may be Dodd's final assault on the U.S. Constitution by the way as he is up for re-election in 2010.  His opponent is an extremely articulate and intellectual financial expert who will expose the fallacy of many Dodd beliefs and his role in this nation's financial collapse.  Anyone remember Countrywide Financial?  hmmmm
 
But I digress, let's discuss the mantra from the statists/leftists/socialists represented by Dodd.  "Our nation's healthcare system is in crisis as over 47,000,000 people are uninsured and costs are going through the roof, having risen 85 percent in the past 10 years."  Sounds very frightening does it not?  Well some things you should know before we proceed:
 
1) There are not 47,000,000 uninsured, the number is purposefully inflated in order to scare people.  It includes illegal aliens who should not be in the country, younger people who choose not to get healthcare insurance and people transitioning from one job to the next.
 
2) Costs are increasing....AGREED!  But what is the time tested solution needed to lower costs?  Competition folks, it works every time it's tried.  It worked in phone service, computers and cell phones.  It will work in healthcare costs as well.
 
3) There are problems with the healthcare system such as inefficiencies and the excessive costs of litigation.  But every time legislative fixes have been offered up to address these problems, DEMOCRATS line up in lock-step and block them.  Why do you think that is folks?  Because the Democrats have never wanted to improve the private sector healthcare system throughout history.  Ronald Reagan spoke of the desire by FDR to get socialized medicine back in the 1930's!  Look it up.  May I quote myself from a column I wrote last year?  Bear with me, I know the length of this bullet point is growing faster than the federal debt!
 
From my article "Conservatives: Get real and grow up!" posted on February 9, 2008
"Mark my words, if this country brings in government-run healthcare, the downhill slide to socialism for this nation IS UNSTOPPABLE and the America we know and love will be gone FOREVER!  Yeah, you heard Mister Meat and Potatoes correctly folks.  The 'New Deal' was the beginning of a Democrat drive towards socialism and socialized medicine is the terminus."
 
So what's the solution offered up by these Democrat statists?
 
The solution of the statist is the SAME solution for everything:  Allow the clumsy hand of the state to come in and try to establish fairness by seizing power in the PRIVATE sector, this time by offering up a government subsidized insurance program paid for by the taxpayer.  Sounds like a fair plan right?  Until you consider they want to make it available to families making as much as $110,000 a year!!!
 
Just as they did in the case of the SCHIP program in the fall of 2007, Democrats want these government programs to appeal to middle class people because they know that is where the majority of taxpayers find themselves.  Once people abandon their private insurance for this government insurance option which will be much cheaper, the private insurance companies will collapse and go out of business.
 
With private insurance companies going the way of the dinosaur, it will be "easy as pie" for the statists to then move from the government provided insurance program to full blown socialized medicine.  Don't believe me?  Well do your research on the SCHIP program from October 2007 and see what you find.  You'll be stunned to find that the Democrats are taking the same "back door" approach this time that worked for them back then.
 
One last thought:  The federal government has run social in-security, medicare and medicaid all into bankruptcy.  What makes you think they will do any better with a risky scheme called "government health insurance"?  You may be willing to bet your life on it but I'm not.

Will Obama appoint an "Amusement Czar"?

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Saturday, June 13, 2009 1:03:00 PM
Since "Dumbo the Puppet" has such a fascination with appointing these unaccountable czars, I am wondering if he will appoint an "Amusement Czar" to help Six Flags struggle through bankruptcy protection?
 
That's right folks, the amusement monstrosity that has been out buying up theme parks from coast to coast over the past decade has filed for bankruptcy protection.  Yet another sign that the debt laden, consumption-based U.S. economy is headed into a freefall and where she stops nobody knows.  By the way, I'm a student at the Peter Schiff "school of economics".  As such, I believe that the high cost of government, poor control of money supply by the FED and global economic growth is taking its toll on America.
 
I wonder if Obama will pull a page out his bankruptcy playbook and step in as judge and jury?  Will he hand control of Six Flags to its employees and unlawfully hand them the equity that is rightfully owed to bondholders?  He did it with Chrysler and GM so why not do it when it comes to our biggest chain of amusement parks?  Oh wait, I almost forgot that Six Flags employees are not part of a that massive Democrat juggernaut known as the LABOR UNIONS.  As such, they will be forgotten as will any thought of an "Amusement Czar".
 
But wait Dumbo the Puppet, most Six Flags workers are college-age adults and you might not want to lose that loyal voting demographic!

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Friday, June 12, 2009 2:15:55 PM
Today is the 22nd anniversary of Ronald Reagan's famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate by the Berlin Wall.  Probably one of the coolest interviews I've ever listened to concerning this subject was by Bill Bennet on his "Morning in America" radio show.  He interviewed the man who wrote that speech for Reagan, one Peter Robinson.  You owe it to yourself to savor this interview from June 12, 2007.  Also, look up Peter Robinson's book "How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life".  You will find that one of the biggest opponents to the famous line, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" was none other than a Republican party traitor named Colin Powell.  You see folks, Powell was a subversive force going back 22 years.  I know.....you are simply shocked! :-)

Not much else to say today, except that Letterman is still a schmuck.  The good thing is that defenders on the left-wing in America have rushed to his side and this will expose them as the unprincipled hacks who pedal a counter-culturalist agenda.  Hopefully more people will turn against them (hands together in prayer).  We can only hope that there are still some standards left or American society is in deep do-do, that's for sure.
 
Letterman is offering up the defense that he thought the older daughter was at the game with Sarah Palin so making the comment about her getting "knocked up by A-Rod" was ok.  Well not really but why did it take 2 days to come up with that new and improved excuse?  I swear this guy is as dumb as he is irresponsible.  I hope his ratings tank and the only people left watching him are the shameless vermin who have absolutely no scruples whatsoever. 
 
One group that will not rush to Letterman's defense is airline flight attendants (their union is the AFA).  As an airline pilot who is entering his 9th year of service, I am OUTRAGED on behalf of flight attendants who are both unappreciated and underpaid.  Exactly what makes a flight attendant look slutty Mr. Letterman?  You ought to be ashamed of yourself and offer up an apology to the AFA but you have no shame so they won't be expecting one.  If I were Letterman, I'd be awfully apologetic and careful the next time he flies first class on a domestic airline flight, if you catch my drift.
 
Now moving on, here's an article in Pravda that really resonated with me.  It's about the fall of capitalism in America and will really make you think a second time or scare the living dogsqueeze out of you!

Letterman and Miranda Rights

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Thursday, June 11, 2009 1:43:34 PM
Boy I'd like to read Letterman his Miranda Rights, heck I'd settle for reading him the riot act after the way he treated Sarah Palin and her daughter the other night.  This guy is certainly a colossal and glittering example of a dunderheaded douchebag folks, if I ever did see one!
 
You remember my 2 names for Letterman right?  I've been calling him "Crusty the Clown" and "the ignorant dufus" for close to 2 years here at the Meat and Potatoes Blog.  My suspicion is when Simpsons creator Matt Groening drew the face for "Crusty the Clown", he used Letterman's face as the template but he made Crusty cuter.  I'm serious, this guy puts the "ugg" in "ugg-ly"!  He's worth millions of dollars and it took him how many years to finally convince a woman to sleep with him?  Then he ends up having a kid out of wedlock with her.....a perfect example of a Democrat constituent if you ever could find one.
 
Oh sure, Letterman is funny but history is loaded with dufuses, fools and utter rubes who were entertaining.  Years ago, we thought Tiny Tim playing "Tiptoe through the tulips" on his ukele was funny, remember?  Just watch the Letterman interview where Bill O'Reilly mopped the floor with this sorry, worn-out idiot and you'll understand why I call him "the ignorant dufus".  Letterman is such a dunderheaded douchebag that he could debate Algore (the Tennessee 2 by 4) and lose miserably!
 
Getting back to the subject of "Miranda Rights", did you know this?  According to Congressman Mike Rogers of MI, Obama is having our troops read "Miranda Rights" to captured terrorists!  I'm not kidding.  So I get the picture, we're back to fighting this war like it's a law enforcement issue, as we did under Bill "the Father of 9/11" Clinton.  What's next? Are we going to paint military Humvees like police cruisers and put "To protect and serve" on the fender. This is ridiculous!  While we're at it, guess we better make our troops grow moustaches, eat donuts, wear black leather gloves and  talk on their cellphones all day!
 
One last tidbit, I've heard that David Letterman is hot on the tail of MSNBC news maven Contessa Brewer after she admitted on the air yesterday that she doesn't mind being CALLED A $LUT IN PUBLIC.  Here's the link to the clip if you'd to see her admit it!

Soldier shooting in Arkansas: Alarming trends

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 2:02:19 PM
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?

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Saturday, June 06, 2009 10:36:00 AM
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

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Tuesday, June 02, 2009 11:52:00 AM
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!

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, June 01, 2009 11:02:00 AM
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!

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Friday, May 29, 2009 4:46:31 PM
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

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Friday, May 29, 2009 2:51:19 PM
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?

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 11:44:45 AM
"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.

Posted by The INFORMER (Cokie907@yahoo.com) on Monday, May 25, 2009 12:59:21 PM
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.
