	<description>Established to communicate mainstream and conservative Republican thinking.  For a brief moment, as Obama swept into office, we felt like we were wandering alone through a socialist desert.  But quickly your hits started adding up, and we know that we’re not alone.  Part of the blame also lies with the leadership of our own Republican Party – mostly for trying to win votes by running RiNO candidates who masquerade as pseudo-Democrats.</description>

<p>He was influenced by the book <strong>Ishmael</strong> and of course Al Gore’s movie.  He considered humans as pollution.  He referred to human babies as parasitic, and wanted the Discovery Channel to change their programming to encourage people not to have babies.<span id="more-7101"></span></p>
<p>James entered the Discovery Channel studios in Silver Springs armed and wearing what looked like a suicide vest, and took hostages.  After a 4-hour standoff – the SWAT team acceded to his demands and emergency surgeons implanted devices so that he would not have any babies.  His gene pool has dried up.  Al Gore must be so proud!</p>
<p>We await a White House statement blaming George W. Bush. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-7084 alignright" title="O Iraq Speech" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/O-Iraq-Speech.jpg" alt="" width="148" height="111" />Last night’s self-serving speech by our undocumented pResident marked a real low point in his pResidency.  I was watching for a glimmer of grace, a shred of leadership, a fleeting moment of greatness.  There was none of that.  Speaking from his newly and darkly redecorated office, once again it was “<strong><span style="color: #800000;">All about Me!</span></strong>”<span id="more-7083"></span></p>
<p>Obama was unable to give credit to G. W. Bush for the courage and wisdom to pursue the surge which did route out most of al Qaeda and tamped down the Sunni-Shia violence long enough for Iraqis to start rebuilding their country.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7085" title="Iraq Speech 31 Aug 2010" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Iraq-Speech.jpg" alt="" width="482" height="295" /></p>
<p>As his speech wandered from Iraq to Afghanistan he claimed that “with those added forces now available” we would be able to pursue al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>But of course he failed to mention that he had dithered five long months on McChrystal’s troop request, then given him exactly half of what the general needed.  He ignored completely the other threats to peace in South Asia – including the fragile and corrupt Pakistani government, and the now-nuclear Twelvers in Iran.</p>
<p>He failed to mention the horrible intelligence and security disaster that just befell us in the leak of ultra-sensitive defense and state department documents to the anti-American blog site WikiLeaks  By now I wonder if he either understands the magnitude of the loss – or if he even cares.</p>
<p>To that point – as <strong>Obama was going through the motions last night</strong> – reading from the off-camera teleprompters and conspicuously tilted to his right – he was a study of a man whose heart is most definitely not in the task at hand.  He doesn’t care about this struggle, except to be quietly cheering on our enemies.  He just doesn’t want to suffer a major battlefield defeat before the 2012 elections.  We went through <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>exactly this ballet</strong> </span>with Lyndon Johnson in 1966 – 68.</p>
<p>Obama spoke of using all our tools of national strength to defeat terrorism, including our financial strength.  The irony, sarcasm and duplicity of his words could not have been layered any thicker.  In his relentless march to socialism he has given us a flat economy and 10+% unemployment.  </p>
<p>It is precisely Obama and his team of socialist goons who have just spent nineteen months <strong>deliberately disemboweling our free-market economy</strong>, and frankly – scaring the piss out of both US and foreign capital investors.  He was straight-faced lying to our faces, and thinking that he is so smooth that we wouldn’t notice.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7086" title="O FortBliss" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/O-FortBliss.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="157" /><br />
Earlier in the day he stopped into Fort Bliss, Texas for a photo-op with troops.  I watched that and saw the distain in the eyes of these proud young patriots.  They know when they’re being used.  Contrast the “Sir, please get your hand off me” look with troops who are actually glad to see a president. </p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7087" title="Your Hand" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Your-Hand.jpg" alt="" width="245" height="163" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7088" title="Bush+troops" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Bush+troops.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="168" /></p>
<p>EVERYBODY NOTE:  Obama made a <strong>special trip</strong> to Fort Bliss [outside El Paso] for this <strong>photo-op</strong>, but for the second time in a month had <a href="http://www.kvue.com/news/Perrys-request-to-meet-with-Obama-denied-for-second-time-101887378.html">NO TIME to meet</a> with<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> Texas Governor Rick P</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">erry</span></strong> on the <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7089" title="1969 Miles" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/1969-Miles.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="175" />subject of<strong> illegal immigration</strong> and <strong>drug smuggling</strong> across Texas’s 1969-mile gunfire riddled border with Mexico.</p>
<p>In the simplest words I can use:  <strong><span style="color: #800000;">Obama doesn’t give a S-H-I-T</span></strong> about illegal immigration or drug traffic.  As a lifelong internationalist socialist – he just doesn’t <a href="http://www.isreview.org/issues/47/waronimmigrants.shtml">believe</a> in borders – or nations.  </p>
<p>Obama is FAILING to execute his Oath of Office!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Already under fire for his 8+ years of not bothering to register – and of course not voting through five (5) General Elections – <strong>Jon Golnik </strong>of<strong> Carlisle</strong> received his <strong>August Surprise</strong> today.  Breaking <a href="http://www.eagletribune.com/latestnews/x329611240/Congressional-candidate-confirms-arrest">news published</a> by the Lawrence Eagle Tribune indicates that Golnik was arrested in 2001 – OUI – drugs and alcohol.  It looks like the drug charge evaporated, but the OUI cost him 45 days without a license and a required class. <span id="more-7042"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7057" title="etmasthead" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/etmasthead2.jpg" alt="" width="127" height="54" /><span style="color: #000000;">Jon Golnik, Republican candidate for Congress, told police he drank several beers and smoked marijuana at a concert the night he was arrested in 2001 for operating under the influence of alcohol and drugs, according to court documents.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Golnik confirmed today to the arrest, which occurred in Arlington on May 4, 2001. One month after the arrest, the drug charge was dropped.</span></p>
<p>Sort of makes him look like a Ted Kennedy politician.</p>
<p>This cannot be good for Golnik.  On March 2<sup>nd</sup> in a 90-minute interview for RRB, he specifically promised me that there was nothing negative in his background.  It’s the same question I ask all politicians.  He “<strong><em>swore to God</em></strong>” &#8211; up and down – “<strong><em>No, nothing,  clean as a whistle</em></strong>”.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7044" title="Carlisle" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Carlisle.jpg" alt="" width="103" height="90" /></p>
<p>But then a routine visit to the Carlisle Town Hall proved embarrassing when RRB discovered he <strong>hadn’t registered or voted for over eight years</strong>.  Worse, he hadn’t disclosed that to his high-$$ Carlisle contributors.  If they forgave his first omission, &#8211; <strong>will they forgive and overlook this one?</strong>  We know the Tsongas camp won’t.</p>
<p>Anybody in the 5<sup>th</sup> Congressional District who really wants to be rid of Tsongas come January 20<sup>th</sup> should look long and hard at the<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> other <span style="text-decoration: underline;">three</span> Republicans </strong></span>and<strong><span style="color: #993300;"> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">two</span> Independents</span></strong>.</p>
<p>I wonder what else the Eagle-Tribune is working on?</p>

<p>The speaker &#8211; <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Eliseo Medina</span></strong> – is the son of a Mexican migrant worker.  Since the 1960s he’s been involved with <a href="http://www.pbs.org/itvs/fightfields/film2.html"><strong>Huelga</strong></a> – the <strong>United Farm Workers</strong>.  Make no mistake about it; their members are either socialist or communist, &#8211; sort of depending on the flavor and the issue of the day. </p>
<p>They back Democrats - the <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Progressive</span></span></strong> <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Democrats</span></strong>.  There are many varieties of socialists sprinkled throughout the Democrat Party.  Medina is just one of many.  His group the <a href="http://www.dsausa.org/about/index.html"><strong>Democratic Socialists of America</strong></a> [he is an honorary chairman] is just another front group.  But you should have your blinders off now – for the rest of your life. </p>
<div id="attachment_7035" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-7035" title="Huelga Staff 1973" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Huelga-Staff-1973.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="386" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Huelga Staff 1973</p></div>
<p>Medina is now an Executive VP of the <strong>SEIU</strong>, and is <a href="http://www.nclr.org/index.php/about_us/news/news_releases/nclr_and_seiu_to_release_new_poll_showing_sb_1070_drives_up_arizona_latino_voters_interest_in_elect-1/">closely allied</a> with <span style="color: #003300;"><strong>La Raza</strong> </span>– the Mexican nationalist movement <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7037" title="aztmap" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/aztmap.jpg" alt="" width="138" height="159" />bent on reclaiming “stolen Mexican lands” from the United States”.  Do you begin to see how all these organizations intertwine?  Do you suppose that makes it hard to follow the money?</p>
<p>In both the November 2010 and November 2012 elections, there is a LOT more at stake than the future of ObamaCare!  And if you and your circle of family and friends aren’t FULLY aware – your country will be torn apart over the next twenty years!</p>
<p><strong>LESSON FOR AMERICANS</strong>:  It’s not ‘racist’ or ‘name calling’ to refer to your enemies by the very name they call themselves.  It is benignly foolish not to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7024" title="Speech Today" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Speech-Today.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="67" />When people are out of work, unable to pay bills and mortgage payments, and holding yard sales to raise a little back-to-school cash, &#8211; it’s not nice to say &#8220;<strong>See, I told you so!</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>But when their cars are still sporting <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">O</span>bama ’08</strong> </span>stickers, &#8211; it is very hard to resist. Does that make me evil or human?<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7026" title="O 08" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/O-08.jpg" alt="" width="99" height="25" /> <span id="more-7021"></span></p>
<p>So the &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Stimulus</span></strong>&#8221; [aka the <span style="color: #0000ff;">Porkulus</span>] has come and gone – and I have yet to hear of a single private sector job created.  <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Cash for Clunkers</span></strong> is history – really bad history.  State unemployment which was up to <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">10.4%</span></strong> at Christmas has come down to <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">8.8%</span></strong> last month.  <strong>August figures will be out Friday</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7027" title="unemployment[1]" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/unemployment1.jpg" alt="" width="555" height="280" /></p>
<p>But this was the first summer when local kids had a tough time getting work. The usual stores, businesses, and contractors who would reliably hire kids just weren’t hiring. Instead owners worked extra hours, brought family members in to help, did not take vacations weeks off, and kept cash flow to a minimum.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">This was a summer of empty store fronts all across the State.</span></strong> </p>
<p>So here in Mass-a-TWO-shits, and across the land, the economy is flat, or shrinking, and today Obama went on TV trying to<strong> blame the Republicans</strong> for holding up a $35 Billion small business loan bill.  Right Barry, &#8211; <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">your $836 Billion union payoff didn’t do diddly</span></strong>, so you want to blame Republicans because you can’t dole out<strong> another $36 Billion to inner city banks for loans which will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">never</span> be repaid?</strong></p>
<p>Look at the chart.  Remember the period of the Clinton presidency – 1993 – 2001 coincides with what we call the &#8220;<strong>tech bubble</strong>&#8221; or the &#8220;<strong>DotCom Bubble</strong>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Here in Massachusetts those were the years when<strong> tons of venture capital</strong> was pouring into any software startup company that promised gold for being able to do business on the internet. When reality sunk in it had nothing to do with politics, or that Gore lost the 2000 Election in Dade County.  It had everything to do with the cold hard fact of too much money recklessly invested in software pipe dreams.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">During those years Massachusetts software companies spent a LOT of money importing and sponsoring foreign software engineers [straight A students] for Green Cards.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">America’s sub-standard union-powered school systems just weren’t delivering either quality or quantity. Now with unemployment at 10+% nationwide, that issue has taken a back seat – but it still lurks like a dagger pointed at our national survival.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Today many / most of those imported straight-A engineers are still employed – while many of their B- American counterparts are emailing résumés.</p>
<p>Companies which were becoming successful in DotCom enterprise software were also learning to ship work to India – where a reasonably competent programmer could be hired for about 15% of the cost of a snot-nosed uppity MIT grad.</p>
<p>Computer manufacturers were also moving manufacture and assembly plants to Asia. Chinese container ships were cheaper to rent than American office space, and the workers weren’t demanding Starbucks.</p>
<p>So despite the shock of 9/11, and two wars, both George Bush, Congress, and a couple of Republican governors here in Massachusetts managed to mostly keep the lid on taxes and spending.  And although George did sound a series of warnings, nobody wanted to believe that there was another bloated bubble threatening to burst – the <strong>housing bubble</strong>.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7025" title="Obama_Economy" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Obama_Economy.jpg" alt="" width="148" height="144" />So 2008 came with some ugly surprises</strong>.</p>
<p>The housing bubble did in fact burst, and Barrack Obama edged out Hillary and was elected pResident. <strong>On November 5<sup>th</sup>, 2008 investor confidence bottomed out – and unemployment took off like a runaway rocket – even before Obama was sworn in</strong>.  He’ll spend the rest of his life telling you about the &#8220;<strong><em><span style="color: #993300;">mess he inherited</span></em></strong>&#8220;.  </p>
<p>It’s hardly so.  It’s the mess that his known preferences for grandiose socialist solutions to simple supply / demand economics created.  The dread that investors have of sailing in a ship overloaded with worthless ballast, waves of debt breaking over the gunnels, and the crew sitting around waiting for somebody else to man the pumps and the sails.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>In just weeks unemployment shot up to over 8% &#8211; and to over 10% in just a year – despite that $836 Stimulus.</strong> </span></p>
<p>But Obama shown no signs of relenting in his campaign to spread your wealth around. He wants that additional <strong>$36 Billion in voter bribe money</strong> before October.  You watch his ranting ratchet up in the next three weeks.</p>
<p>And those of you who are old enough to remember – think back to <strong>October 1992</strong> – when having just defeated Saddam Hussein - George H. W. Bush [aka Bush ’41] had to listen to the Dems mocking him &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">It’s the ECONOMY Stupid!</span></strong>&#8220;  Unemployment then was at 8% and coming down smartly. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Clinton’s election made it instantly jump to 9%</span></strong>.</p>
<p>So when you see Niki Tsongas, Jim McGovernment, Barney Frank, et al, tell ’em &#8220;<strong><em><span style="color: #ff0000;">It’s the ECONOMY Stupid – and you haven’t got a friggin’ CLUE about how to fix it!</span></em></strong>&#8221;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>HERE IS A CLUE</strong>:   Toss the Democrats/Socialists OUT.  Elect Conservatives / Republicans.  Demand lower taxes, lower spending, and an end of payoffs to socialist unions, like the SEIU and the various teacher unions.</p>
<p><strong>HERE’S ANOTHER CLUE</strong>:  A government CANNOT make jobs. But it CAN make it cheaper for Americans to make stuff <strong>here</strong> than to ship it over here on Chinese container ships.  See if you can embed that single thought into the brains of your Democrat neighbors between now and November 1<sup>st</sup>.</p>
<p>Do it with urgency, or NEXT summer will be far worse!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think this guy has a hell of a lawsuit.  Powerful video evidence of private security and police over-reaction to a classic <strong>1<sup>st</sup> Amendment case of free speech</strong> at the <a href="http://www.alaskastatefair.org/">Alaska State Fair</a>.  While I don’t sympathize much with the LaRouche bunch [they’re your basic garden-variety American Communist Party], they do have a right to speak and to peacefully assemble and protest.  Watch the video and see if you think this was good police work – or really dumb police work.  Oh, and remember that elsewhere they’re still “counting absentee ballots” in the Alaska Senate Republican primary, as rumors fly of “missing ballots”. <span id="more-7009"></span></p>
<p> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="485" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HczbVPeKbdg&amp;feature" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="485" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HczbVPeKbdg&amp;feature"></embed></object></p>
<p>OK, so he was loud.  But he wasn’t using anything beyond his own voice. </p>
<p>Everything he was doing was in public space, and although his banner was big, it wasn’t blocking or endangering pedestrian traffic.  I’d say his 1<sup>st</sup> Amendment rights were wrestled to the ground and handcuffed – probably by union security goons and unionized police officers.  Somebody from Alaska tell me I’m wrong – please.</p>
<p>And if this guy is a trained LaRouche operative, he&#8217;s just gotten them <strong><em>exactly</em></strong> the publicity they wanted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you help murder a Mexican today?  <strong>Do you use drugs?</strong>  Do any of your friends or relatives use drugs?  Do you employ a Mexican to cut your grass, rake your leaves, or clean your house or your pool?</p>
<p>By some <a href="http://projects.latimes.com/mexico-drug-war/#/interactive-map">reports</a>, at least <strong>28,000 have been murdered in Mexico</strong> in the past two years – all over drug trafficking.</p>
<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6987" title="heads" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/heads.jpg" alt="" width="497" height="312" /> <span id="more-6986"></span></p>
<p>In a <a href="http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20100829/OPINION01/308299958">horrific incident</a> last week the bodies of some 72 migrant workers were found in Mexico.  They were from Honduras, El Salvador, Brazil and Ecuador, and were traveling up through Mexico to cross into the USA looking for work.  The Zetas drug gang wanted them to carry drugs.  They wouldn’t, and were promptly executed.  One boy escaped – alerted police who started an investigation.  Then the lead investigator was <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/centralamericaandthecaribbean/mexico/7969037/Detective-leading-Mexican-migrant-murder-investigation-missing.html">kidnapped</a> along with his driver.  They were found murdered.</p>
<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6988" title="drug route-cartel-areas" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/drug-route-cartel-areas.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="342" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6989" title="Enriquez Killing" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Enriquez-Killing.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="143" />Murders in the various Mexican border towns have spiked in recent years – with gun battles raging between cartels and between cartels and the police.  In March US Embassy employee Lesley Enriquez was <a href="http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-03-16/news/18833401_1_chihuahua-state-human-rights-drug-war-cartels">murdered</a> in broad daylight in Ciudad Juarez.  It turns out she had been supplying one cartel with passports, and <strong>the other cartel killed her for it</strong>.</p>
<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6990" title="goons with guns" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/goons-with-guns.jpg" alt="" width="464" height="282" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6997" title="money" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/money.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p>Corruption is so widespread that honest people fear going to the police in Mexico.  In Santiago the <a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2012361,00.html">mayor was kidnapped and murdered</a> by members of his own police force.  American drug money has totally corrupted the soul of the country, so much so that one cartel – the Zetas – are composed of former Mexican special forces and police who have gone over to the dark side.  Even once idyllic beach resorts like Acapulco have become <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7061705.ece">mass murder</a> scenes.</p>
<p><a href="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Granny.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-6991" title="Granny" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Granny.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="272" /></a>Here is a photo of a 94 year old Mexican granny caught smuggling 10.45 lbs of marijuana across the border at Nogales. </p>
<p>The various cartels have adopted the <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/07/23/eveningnews/main6707471.shtml">tactics</a> of the most ruthless Islamism terrorists – using beheadings, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/mexican-drug-cartels-weapon-border-war-car-bomb/story?id=11383665">car bombs</a>, torture and rape as weapons of intimidation.  Earlier this month one cartel was bold enough to put a $1 Million <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/08/02/mexican-drug-cartel-allegedly-puts-price-arizona-sheriffs-head/">bounty</a> on the head of Arizona’s favorite sheriff – Joe Arpaio.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6992" title="tatoo" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/tatoo.jpg" alt="" width="106" height="144" /> So next time one of your “friends” is doing drugs, think of the horrific cost of his or her habit.  It is NOT merely confined to Mexico.  In the 80s and 90s American hunger for cocaine nearly destroyed Columbia and Bolivia.  And I haven’t begun to mention the level of crime here in the USA which is connected to the traffic, sale, and use of illegal drugs. </p>
<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6993" title="MexicoDrugWarsBodiesImage" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/MexicoDrugWarsBodiesImage.jpg" alt="" width="483" height="358" /></p>
<p>Even here in affluent and “safe” Acton-Boxborough, our high school students are being arrested with significant amounts of illegal drugs.  Now just who do you think an AB high school drug dealer is selling to?  And from whom are they getting them to sell?  They are the faucet on the end of the pipeline. </p>
<p>So did you help kill a Mexican today?  Yeah, you sure did!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Somewhere in the crowd was the Rabid Republican and Mrs RR.  I can&#8217;t wait for their report. </p>
<p>I watched &#8211; some on <strong>Facebook</strong> [I believe it will be re-broadcast] and some on <strong>C-Span</strong> [also says they will re-broadcast]. </p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6979" title="Beck Rally" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Beck-Rally.jpg" alt="" width="484" height="262" /><span id="more-6974"></span></p>
<p>Already the MSM are wringing their hands because Glenn was calling for a national return to our founders principles of individual responsibility and faith in God.  That &#8220;<strong>God thing</strong>&#8221; really upsets liberals.  Note this vile parody of the event&#8217;s logo.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6980" title="Restoring honor" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Restoring-honor1.jpg" alt="" width="104" height="184" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6981" title="Left Wing" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Left-Wing1.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="189" /></p>
<p>You just know some snot-nose left-wing computer geek got a big chuckle out of this piece of work.  He proved one thing for sure &#8211; his mind <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">is</span></strong> in the toilet!</p>
<p>You should also be aware of the MSM&#8217;s efforts to minimize the crowd size and to claim that Beck and Sarah Palin are trying to turn America back to the hard religious right.  Glen has a goodly crowd &#8211; as this photo I <a href="http://www.black-and-right.com/2010/08/28/pic-of-the-day-238/">borrowed</a> from Bob Parks proves:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6983" title="DC Rally" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Beck-Crowd.jpg" alt="" width="471" height="266" /></p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it odd that the <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>left is so very quick to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">embrace</span> a 9/11 victory mosque</strong> </span>on the site of a horrific Muslim murder of innocents, but are <strong><span style="color: #800000;">even quicker to cast aspersions and anything Christian</span></strong>. </p>
<p><strong>Al Sharpton</strong> held a competing rally &#8211; I think in somebody&#8217;s back yard &#8211; where he claimed Glenn was &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #993300;"><em>trying to hijack the Civil Right Movement</em></span></strong>&#8220;.  Right Al, and you&#8217;ve been doing what with it for fifty years?  Oh that&#8217;s right &#8211; making a <strong>living</strong> from it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Call me cynical, but it takes a religious nut job who entered North Korea, got arrested, tried, and sentenced <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6966" title="North-Korea-Carter-Gomes" src="http://rabidrepublicanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/North-Korea-Carter-Gomes.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="160" />to <strong>8 years hard labor</strong> – to provide any relevance to the unending saga of our Socialist Georgia Peanut Farmer? </p>
