Radical Rhetoric

stalinists-gatherThe Democrat machine is running out of gas — especially in Massachusetts.  Perhaps that’s the price of opposition to drilling for more fuel. The weak gusts of hot air from their wind turbines seem to be waning and they’ve not only last-resorted to name calling but, once again, are proving their disconnect with the American people. Scott Brown is now being labeled a radical by the Stalinist vultures in Washington.

From their far left perch, I’m sure Conservatives look that way. Brown has pointed out the seat he is seeking is THE PEOPLE’S SEAT, not that of Kennedy or the Democrats. Now, there’s a radical idea! It’s just that kind of thinking that other radicals like Washington, Jefferson, Madison and their ilk crafted into the greatest nation on earth. You know, the arrogant, decadent place we live — the one our ‘change merchants’ are trying to destroy with their totalitarian policies.

As a last ditch effort, Democrats are trying to associate Brown with the ‘Tea Bag’ movement as if that would be his undoing. Do they not understand that what they consider a derogatory term is actually the voice of the people crying out to be heard or do they care so little about our will and their own political futures? In 1776, tea-baggers were called patriots; ironically, today’s patriots are called tea-baggers.

I’m relieved to see the likes of Clinton and Obama trying to effect the rescue of yet another corrupt crony. For a while, I was afraid ‘the kiss of death’ wouldn’t show up — everywhere Obama has gone the Democrat candidate went down in flames! Now it’s time for Acorn and the SEIU thugs to show up, over-register, fabricate and revive dead voters. Because of their usual skullduggery, Scott Brown will need more than his current four point lead in the polls to pull this one out.

Whether he actually beats Coakley or only comes close, of two things we can be sure: The Left will find a way [like employing the 51 vote Nuclear Option] to ram some version of Obamacare down our throats and, in November, all participating culprits will pay an historically heavy price for their offensive actions.

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner

two-turkeysOnce upon a time there was a young gobbler named Thomas who, more than anything else, wanted to be invited to a Thanksgiving dinner.  He had heard stories about great mounds of delicious food — a fantastic feast with family and friends gathered around a massive table.  Thomas even imagined himself dressing for the occasion!  He pushed out his chest and strutted proudly around the barnyard hoping to get noticed.

Thanksgiving was, after all, an important holiday.  If there were no Thanksgiving, how would we know that Christmas and New Years were coming — not to mention Hanukah, Kwanza and a host of other traditional holidays? Some folks called it ‘Turkey Day‘, although Thomas had never been told exactly why.  He knew the words must have some kind of very special meaning, because no one ever talked about Thanksgiving without talking about turkeys.  He closed his eyes and pictured himself as guest of honor at such a glorious celebration.  M-m-m-m — pass the cranberries!

At school, he learned revisionist history about people called Pilgrims who were so dopey that when their boat first came to America it landed on a rock and they didn’t even know how to feed or clothe themselves.  The Indians (They didn’t become Native-Americans for another 300 years), who were already here, had to show them how to do everything — and to say thanks, the Pilgrims slaughtered every last one of them!  Then they had a big feast to celebrate the butchery and called it Thanksgiving.

Somehow, that didn’t sound right to Thomas.  I mean, why would the Pilgrims kill all the people who were helping them?  Besides, the Pilgrims were religious people and knew that God wouldn’t like that.  There must be another explanation for Thanksgiving and he was determined to find it — and to find out about the important role that turkeys play in the festivities.  Another story that sounded more plausible was told to him by the wise old Grandpa Turkey who sat by the big brown tree stump at the head of the barnyard.

It seems that the Pilgrims who landed on the rock had an arrangement where all the people would put everything they made or grew into a big storehouse. Then when somebody needed something, they would just take it.  From each according to his ability to each according to his need sounded pretty good, at first.  But some people were lazy and let others do the work — yet they took as much as anyone else from the big storehouse.  The people who did all the work said, “The heck with this noise!” and stopped working. With no one producing anything, they all nearly starved.

The head Pilgrim said, “Okay, from now on each individual keeps whatever he creates and can use it, sell it, or trade it for other things he needs.  The free market system worked and so did all the people!  They even traded with the Indians and invited them to the first celebration of their new found prosperity — a celebration of Capitalism which today we know as Thanksgiving!

Even though the wise old turkey’s story made more sense, it still didn’t explain why some people called the day, ‘Turkey Day’.  When Thomas told of his dream to be invited to the glorious celebration, the horrified Grandpa Turkey exclaimed, “Holy giblets!  Have you lost your head?”

Once the special role of the turkey was fully explained, Thomas began to tremble.  It was only then that he noticed the shiny metal thing with a long wooden handle on top of the brown wooden stump, and heard the squeak of the gate as farmer Fred entered the pen. Thomas quickly sucked in his chest and tried to look smaller.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I think about Thomas a great deal and look forward to a festive holiday with family and friends — as well as with our guest of honor.  Remember just like elections, wishes have consequences.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The Ant and the Grasshopper

ant-and-grasshopperI received this e-Mail from a friend the other day and would like to share the stories with you in case you haven’t seen them.  Any resemblance between version number two and the current government regime’s method of operation is purely intentional.

Two different versions — two different morals.  When referring to the Left, I use the term “moral” advisedly.

Traditional - Version #1:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

Moral of the story: Be responsible for yourself!

Contemporary - Version #2:

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’

Acorn stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’  Rev. Jeremiah Wright then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti- Grasshopper Discrimination Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

Moral of the story: Be careful how you vote in 2010. The rights you save may be your own!

So it is written — so it shall be.

Kid in the Attic - Update

Balloon Boy: Sheriff holds news conference calling incident a hoax!

I think the headline from Entertainment Weekly speaks for itself — just click on it to read the article. I’m happy to see they’re ‘throwing the book‘ at the parents. Hopefully, it’s not too late to set the kids on the right path!

The Kid in the Attic

flying-saucer-balloonWhether or not the saga of that boy thought to be in the runaway balloon is true or some kind of hoax, the family should be receiving a pretty hefty bill for search and rescue resources that were put into play. Should be, but I’m not holding my breath. They never seem to charge those goofy-Guses who go out and get stuck on a mountain because “it was there,” so I doubt this will be any different.

While I’m glad things turned out well for the boy, I should think there would be more than an invoice to pay if it was a hoax. There are severe penalties for turning in a false fire alarm and this event triggered a whole lot more than a few red trucks and a spotted dog.

I just don’t find the family’s story credible or their acting very convincing. The kid hiding in the attic while admitting he heard people calling him, saying he “was told he was doing it for the show” — plus having a couple of reverse protein spills during questioning in front of a national television audience didn’t help persuade me of anyone’s sincerity either.

Personally, I think the entire family is loopy and, if I were a betting man, I’d say the whole matter was as phony as Global Warming — or cooling — or whatever that new political religion is about.

And The Winner Is…

nobelli-pizza-prizeIt has been widely mis-reported in the government media that the acting president has received The Nobel Peace Prize. Since I couldn’t believe such a prestigious organization would honor non-achievement so publicly, without the recipient or recipients’ direct involvement in international terrorism, I investigated.

Sure enough, I was right! It was not the group in Oslo but rather a consortium of pizza pie gourmets in Naples, Italy that bestows this award for “Annual volume of tomato pie consumption by a world citizen,” to quote a spokesperson. The confusion which has occurred throughout the civilized world is apparently a result of the similarity in names. The award actually won by the current White House occupant is The Nobelli Piece Prize. Notice the differences in spelling. Despite the confusion, this is an historic occasion since it marks the first time the prize has been awarded to anyone weighing less than 350 pounds.

This prestigious award was originated in 1972 by Alfredo Nobelli, owner and operator of Nobelli’s Pizza Parlor and Car Wash in St. Louis, Missouri. Alfredo was originally from Naples and immigrated to America as an illegal in 1971. The following year he financed the first “Piece Prize” out of gratitude to his newly adopted country, with money saved from his welfare checks. It is not clear whether Mr. Nobelli ever became a citizen or even got a green card. He could not be reached for comment.

There seems to be no connection between the now famous pizza parlor and Rush Limbaugh’s desire to by the St. Louis Rams, even though he has frequently used the phrase, “Mmm, mmm, mmm!” I believe this reference has more to do with the political indoctrination of students in a New Jersey public school than with the consumption of tomato pies, with or without pepperoni.

Remember — the buck starts here!

Preserving America

It’s no longer about Republican vs Democrat or Right vs Left.  It’s no longer even about right and wrong.  It’s about freedom vs oppression, liberty vs tyranny.  It’s about the people against a government out of control!  If one thing was evident, reading the signs and sensing the mood at this weekend’s Washington march, it was the resolve of ordinary citizens not to relinquish our country to the radicals and  ideologues that have taken our government hostage.

While they choose to ignore the Second American Revolution that is taking root, those elected but failing to represent us do so at their own peril.  They have forgotten they work for us and can be fired next year.  In a mere seven months, together with  the Marxists and shadow government czars doing ‘Bama’s bidding, these officials have inflicted more damage upon the greatest nation on Earth from within than all the armies, explosives and madmen that have challenged us from across the sea.   Unlike our more submissive European brothers and sisters, we will not quietly submit to a takeover by tyrants.  Americans have been down that road before and have proven our metal.

The one promise the acting president has actually kept is to unite us.  He has united the mainstream majority and awakened those who have too long been asleep.  He has unwittingly watered the seeds of freedom and they will be nurtured and grow with each new bureaucratic atrocity.  That was apparent during the march, the ranks of which swelled beyond anyone’s expectations.  Estimates range from a low-ball 70,000 to as many as 1,000,000 people.  Anyone familiar with the geography of D.C. can see just from the pictures, that if not a million, at least several hundred thousand came to demand return of our country.  All but the state controlled media, even the British press, reported a greater number of people than attended the Obamination on January 20th.

This was a massive coming together of Republicans, Democrats, Independents,  Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians and all persuasions of American patriot. As I said to a Left-leaning friend of mine, listening to him defend the indefensible and trivialize the Tea Party movement — “If we had guys like you in 1776, today we’d all be speaking with an English accent and hurling four letter epithets at other drivers from the left hand side of the road instead of the right.”  I hope he’s still my friend.

Here are a few pictures from what I have come to call Saturday’s March for Freedom.

Washington Tea Party Montage

By the way, flags were at half staff because of the death of Ted Kennedy — don’t let any Libs tell you different.  Too bad we didn’t have a few tons of tea to toss into the Potomac as an added exclamation point!

Barack O’Moses Ten Commandments

obama-mosesAfter observing Barack Hussein Obama on the campaign trail and during his first six months in Washington, The Patriot Update concluded that the acting president lives and governs according to his own set of “Ten Commandments.” These are NOT the same Commandments you learned in Sunday School — in fact, many are the exact opposite!  To verify the accuracy of The Patriot’s conclusions, you’ll find a link to its source after the ‘Obamafied’ version of each Commandment.

So let it be written, so let it be regurgitated:

I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer consider ourselves a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) SOURCE

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. SOURCE

III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. SOURCE

IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. SOURCE

V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. Then they shall be released to eternity for they will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. SOURCE

VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. SOURCE

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are a Conservative or Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of Conservatives will be forever destroyed. SOURCE

VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you’ve been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE

IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are Conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. SOURCE

X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. SOURCE

Hey, did you hear the one about the incompetent Marxist who ran for President and won? No.  It’s not a joke.  It actually happened in a place I used to know.
