OK, what’s a “Moderate”?  Has ‘Republican‘ become a dirty word?  At this very moment over at the high school Bill “Good Hands” Clinton was asking a crowd of 1500 MoonBat faithful to send Barney Frank back to the scene of his crimes for a 16th term.

And these folks think a ‘Moderate‘ is a better deal?  Somebody explain, please!

Hide your young men, and your fat chicks! 

Two world-noClass slime-balls are coming town Sunday, looking for…votes!

Bill “Good Hands” Clinton is coming to Taunton to campaign for slime-ball Congressional Crook Barney Frank. 

How bad are you doing in your private polling when you call on an impeached president to come lend ‘credibility’ to the campaign of the congressman most totally identified with the implosion of the housing market and the sub-prime mortgage meltdown, – caused by 20 years of forcing banks to make bad loans?

Understand the series of events.   Barney Frank wrote a series of laws which forced private banks to move into high-risk neighborhoods, and make loans without regard to income, ability to pay, credit, or character.   Then as President, Bill Clinton applied additional pressure on the banks to move faster.  His chief enforcer back then was Eric Holder – working for Attorney General Janet Reno [Waco massacre].

When George W. Bush warned Congress and the nation in 2003 that Fannie and Freddie were in trouble – and would require closer monitoring of their lending practices, it was Barney Frank who spoke up in their defense and stopped any congressional oversight. 

Result?  Fannie and Freddie continued to buy bad home mortgages. 

Recently Barney wrote the $4 Trillion Wall Street Bailout Bill H.R. 4173 – which conveniently excluded Fannie and Freddie from any further government oversight or regulation.

Barney is also the guy who’s gay prostitute roommate Steve Gobie was running a gay call-boy service from Barney’s D.C. apartment in the late ’80s. 

Yet the Democratic voters of the 4^th Congressional District continue to send Barney back to do more damage – cycle after cycle. 

What do they get out of this folly?  Many in the GLBT community have thought Barney could hang on to be the first gay Speaker of the House.  But today it’s 10% unemployment, $14 Trillion National Debt, and a country headed rapidly into Socialism.  So have 4^th District voters had enough? 

I ask again, why bring in Bill Clinton – unless the polls are showing that the voters have had enough?  Does Bill Clinton suddenly look better than Barack Obama?  Clinton ALERT!  Keep your fat chicks off the street.

What’s the best way to greet these two slime-balls?  Instead of the usual political signs and posters,  just affixed your dirty underwear to sticks and wave in the air?  Crude but fitting.

Here’s Barney Frank and Chris Dodd – BOTH who should be in a federal prison – emerging from an all-night joint committee meeting to hammer out a new Obamatrosity – a bill to “regulate”  [blackmail]  Wall Street.  So what’s wrong with Barney’s pants?  Why is he fixing them in public?  Why isn’t he in jail?

Mass 4th – Vote for Earl Sholley!!

We were very very lucky today.  Our economy nearly went into the cellar, and for a few scary minutes it looked like a freefall ride all the way down. 

Here is the immediate background:  Greece – perhaps the weakest of the European economies, is in collapse.  They’ve been playing a dicey political game – telling Greeks that they’ll have to accept less in their government pensions and freebies.  At the same time they’ve been asking Europe to bail them out – sort of the way the US Government bailed out AIG, GM, and Chrysler.   As has become the custom in Greece,  the goons have taken to rioting.  Yesterday they set a bank ablaze.  Three employees inside were roasted alive.

Europe is reluctant to bail them out until they cut domestic spending [aka socialist spending].   And Europe is very tense right now because Portugal and Spain are nearly as bad off.  All of the semi-socialist European tax and spend countries are in trouble.  They all have huge immigrant problems which dwarf ours – and all have union control over almost all government,  business and industries.  In some countries even the students are unionized.

Against this shaky background Wall Street has been VERY nervous – for weeks. 

So today some trader – probably at Citi Group – went to sell some P&G Stock. 

Instead of typing Million, he typed Billion.   The size of the sale triggered a lot of the automated trading programs.  Suddenly the computers were in charge, and were selling everything short.  Within minutes the DOW had dropped over 1000 points.  Another 1000 and people would have started leaping out of windows like they did in 1929.

The market recovered.  There will be investigations.  Bwarny Fwank will thump his chest.  Hearings will be held.  The “democrats”/ liberals/ progressives will focus their and [they hope] your attention on Wall Street.  That is a diversionary tactic.  Don’t fall for it.

The real issue is that Europe has spent sixty years becoming a socialist society, where all decisions are government decisions, and very little wealth is created.  And the unintended consequences of dissolving their empires has produced floods of seethingly hostile immigrants – mostly Muslim, from former colonies. Europe has run out of real money to pay for their cradle-to-grave social programs.  They are at the breaking point.

Now in their third generation of non-assimilation, these displaced refugees/immigrants are turning Europe into exactly the kind of Muslim socialist society that Obama so much admires.  They are doing by sheer population in Europe what he wants to do by stealth, fiat,  and 2400 page laws here. 

The collapse of European governments will aid in these long simmering Muslim takeovers.  The collapse of the US economy will aid Obama in creating the “CHANGE” he so broadly hinted at. 

Did you hear that bullet fly past your ear today – right about 2;45 PM?  It just missed your head – for today.

Massa seems like an ideal man to represent his Upstate NY district.  A 1981 Annapolis grad, with 24 years on active duty, married w/ kids, cancer survivor, friend of and veteran of General Wesley “Weasel” Clark’s failed presidential bid, he strongly opposed the Iraq war, – actually changing parties from Republican to Democrat.  He campaigned as a centrist Democrat and narrowly defeated two-term Republican Randy Kuhl 51%/49% in a recounted election. 

But the Halls of Congress are not the passageways of a navy ship.  The rules are different – or so they must have seemed to this freshman congressman.  Graft, corruption, deals, and intrigue swirled around him.  Something inside him must have felt liberated.  There was this person – a junior staffer – a male junior staffer.  Just a year into his term,  Eric made his advances.  It seems they were unwanted.  He must have been very persistent.

So his Asst Chief of Staff filed a complaint with the House Ethics Committee – the same group who just found Charlie Rangel guilty.  I guess standards of acceptable gay behavior have changed since the days that Gerry Studds was doing underage pages.  Thus we have Massa’s announcement yesterday that he wouldn’t seek re-election “doctors have told him that he can’t continue to “run at 100 miles an hour.”  He’ll take his Congressional Pension and go home to Corning and try to explain things to Beverly and the kids. 

Don’t Ask – Don’t Tell Works!

My whole point in posting this entry is to point out that our current military policy of “Don’t ask, don’t tell!” has been working just fine!   For 28 years [4 at the academy, 24 on active duty] Navy Midshipman and Navy Officer Massa was constrained from overt behavior by the UCMJ.   Suddenly free of that constraint,  and it’s punishments – and in an atmosphere of “anything goes” – he acted out. 

Had this happened aboard ship – or really anywhere in the Navy,  there would have been an expensive and time consuming investigation.  Unit and ship morale would have suffered, and unit / ship discipline and combat effectiveness would have been undermined.  ANY reduction in combat effectiveness could cost lives, engagements, battles, and the outcome of wars. 

ANY easing of “Don’t ask – don’t Tell!” is an unacceptable risk to our troops, and to our national security.  Eric Massa just proved my case!   Good luck with Beverly Eric.  She saw you through a naval career and cancer, ~ maybe ~ she’ll stick with you.  Maybe.  But maybe she’ll want a $65K /year deal to put up with you – or set you free. 

The poor voters of the NY 29^th!  First a shotgun wielding drunk,  then their whore-chasing governor, then their drug-addicted cheating replacement governor,  now a predatory gay congressman.   Eric, why didn’t you just go after Barney?

Brace yourselves Americans, this rant is ~ a tad longer ~ than most. . .

Yesterday I attended a Scott Brown Thank You Rally in Dracut. It was a wonderful event – a big room filled with quietly relieved and happy folks who’d almost all worked on Scott’s election.  There was no bombast, no vengeance, no crowing, no shouts of “We’ll show them!”  Just quiet joy that with Scott we now have a chance to hold back the rolling tide of progressives and socialist who are so determined to ruin our nation in the name of “social justice’.

But elsewhere Republicans are getting out in front of their own parades. Last November Virginians elected Republican Bob McDonnell as their next governor despite Obama campaigning for the democrat. New Jersey turned out a long-time senator-turned-governor and voted in Republican Chris Christie. In the NY 23^rd, unknown Independent Doug Hoffman lost by a mere 4% after Newt Gingrich blundered by endorsing the RiNO Dede Scozzafava. [Newt, how could you?]

And then our Massachusetts Miracle – Republican Scott Brown took our seat back from Camelot, and broke that dynasty of progressive Democrat Senators that Massachusetts seemed doomed to send to Washington.

But this was hardly a Republican victory,  and Republicans should be damned quick to acknowledge it.  Scott did deserve to win.  He is EXACTLY the kind of man who should run for high office, and who voters should elect.  But here in Mass-a-ONE-Shit [some of you will understand that joke] it could not have happened without the “perfect storm” – of the badly multi-flawed Democrat Coakley, our lame-duck duffus governor Duh-val Patrick,  the widespread anger over ObamaCare,  the rise of the TEA Party movement, and those two last-second campaign visits by Bubba Clinton and then Obama – who came to campaign for a woman he’d never met – and railed against Scott’s pickup truck.

Yes, we Republicans worked our little asses off,  but it was the disaffected Democrats and the indignant Independents who elected Scott, and drove a wooden stake into the evil heart of ObamaCare.  Any Republican crowing between now and November 3^rd will be highly unfortunate, and counter-productive.

Right now Republicans across the country should count their blessings, reload their muskets, and get ready for a long year of rebuilding our Party and our image. We must win over those the disaffected Democrats and the indignant Independents, and any Moonbats that we can awaken – one voter at a time.  We don’t have a day or an hour to waste. You can be sure that George Soros has seen what is happening to his plan, and is already taking steps to ensure the triumph of he version of world socialism.

Here in Massachusetts our mission is very clear. We must vote out each of our 10 Democrats who voted for the “Stimulus” Bill, for Cap & Trade, for ObamaCare, and for raising the National Debt Ceiling.  The entire “Gang of Ten” all must go starting with Barney Frank and ending with Niki Tsongas.  We have to dump Duh-val – being careful that we don’t replace him with a dangerous RiNO, – and we have to be prepared that John Ketchup Kerry may accept a cabinet job at almost any time. [Hillary is wearing out fast.]  We need to reclaim that seat for the People too.  Jeff Beatty, are you listening?

At the national level, Michael Steele better start eating some high-fiber foods,  with a lot of calcium supplements, and develop a real Republican backbone.

KEEP OUR MESSAGE SIMPLE:

Republican, Independent, and Conservative voters must unite to expel every “Dem” [or any RiNO] who voted for ObamaCare or the Cap & Tax bill.

The Democratic party of the 40s and 50s has been hijacked and murdered.  It doesn’t exist anymore.  Avowed “Progressives” are really new-age Socialists – people who believe in government takeovers.  They must be voted OUT!  Any legislator who voted for a bill they never read is by definition unworthy of holding office. That single breach of the public trust is enough to warrant being fired.

Explain this to voters in simple terms.  “If you were running your own family business, would you keep employing managers who spent millions of your money without reading the specs of an invoice or accounting for the goods received?  Or would you fire them?“

“Man-made Global Warming” is a discredited myth, – a fraud perpetrated by rogue scientists for personal glory and personal financial gain.  This myth must not be allowed to drive our financial or our energy policy.  Let’s do what’s best for America.  In the end – that will be best for the World and the environment. Our nuclear Navy is proof we can have a safe, effective and relatively cheap source of endless electricity.

Embrace business-friendly and industry-friendly tax plans and stop treating our industrialists like pariahs.  They are the VERY people who create jobs build American wealth and power.

Unions should soon come to realize who their real friends are. In an age where we compete with cheap – almost expendable labor in China, India, and the Third World, unions should temper their traditional demands with reason. And they must quickly figure out that anti-industry Dems and Progressives are forcing their jobs overseas even as they spend mandatory union campaign contributions on false TV advertising.

There are some dark concepts that union workers need to understand.  Progressives look at factories as large, ugly, dirty, dangerous places where evil capitalists enslave workers while blithely polluting the environment, exploiting precious natural resources, and raking in hugely obscene profits.

Progressives look upon factory workers as helpless uneducated victims who must be forced into unions, milked of dues for political campaigns, and told how to vote by selected union bosses and shop stewards. When progressives look at factories they don’t see American industrial strength and the accumulation of American national treasure.  They see ugly evil things which must be regulated, inspected, vilified, and above all, – taxed.

But if a factory job allows a man or woman to raise a family, buy and pay off a home, educate children, and earn a retirement, – what is an empty factory?  What is an empty factory building when the work has moved to China?   I call it a stark testament to the shortsighted social tinkering of “progressive” politicians since the end of WWII.

Treat terrorists like war criminals, – not citizen-criminals.  Try them overseas by military commissions, and let firing squads render appropriate justice. Our Constitution is not a suicide pact. Our leaders have a duty to protect Americans, not terrorists.

Obama must dismiss his 36-plus Socialist Czars, – since there is no provision for them in our Constitution.

Shoveling wads of taxpayer money into our schools does not make them better.  Throwing the worst do-nothing teachers out is a much better solution.  Expunging the socialist propaganda and revisionist history from their curriculum should quickly follow.

Tell Democrats and Progressives to stop attacking our 2nd Amendment.  It is the ONLY thing protecting and guaranteeing anybody’s 1st Amendment rights.  When goons break into your home at night – particularly if they’ve targeted you because they know you’re old and feeble, – your bedside gun is your only reliable defense.

We are the pro-life party,  period!  But we need to understand that Roe-v-Wade will only be overturned when a full generation of new American voters have come to view abortion as an American sin, – one far greater than slavery was.  Not to be callus, but plantation owners bred slaves, they saw those babies as valuable.  Today’s pro-choice advocates apparently see a baby as a matter of choice, a whim, – even a coin toss.  Get in a fight with the daddy?   Teach him – abort his baby! 

We must oppose abortion on constitutional grounds with as much eloquence as we do on moral grounds.  And we must make a vigorous stand against any “exception for the health of the woman” when the abortion industry is lobbying for late-term and partial-birth exceptions.  We must call wholesale murder and genocide by its name. 

Here’s a chatter-stopping thought:  how many children of outspoken pro-choice women will someday turn to their mothers and ask “Mom, how many of my siblings did you abort?“  Or the follow-up question: “Mom, are you so pro-abortion because you think I’m a slut who might need one, – or because you’ve hated raising me so much?“

We need to explain in firm but gentle terms the absolute hypocrisy of pro-choice women who insist that even late-term and partial-birth abortion is somehow their “constitutional right”, – and their opposition to the death penalty for even serial child rapists and killers.

We can’t really raise kids in America without teaching them what a magnificent and wondrous marvel our Nation is.  And somewhere in that discussion we must acknowledge that God had a hand in all of it, from creating the land, the animals, the fish and the birds, and us.  His hand and His teachings guided our founding fathers through bitter times, through a long and painful revolution, through the drafting of our Constitution, and later through a horrible civil war which tested whether such a nation could or would endure.

As Republicans we must stand and speak out against the forces of godlessness who want to expunge God and Religion from all parts of our public life. Our laws and our rules of behavior towards each other are rooted in the Ten Commandments, – and cannot be offensive to anyone who expects his own life, property, and marriage to be honored and respected by the community he lives in. 

We must repeatedly point out that everywhere in History that some men wanted to change the gods, or to replace gods, – the replacement was always either a ruthless bloody dictator or an equally ruthless and bloody oligarchy.  Our very concepts of Democracy evolve from our concepts of God and that our station in the hereafter depends on how well we live and treat each other here.

THE POLITICS OF RACE

 Republican leaders and Republicans in general must look at race in much different terms starting now.  BHO Jr. is in the White House today largely because Republicans for a hundred years were utterly stupid about race.  Most Democrats, most Republicans, and even most Blacks don’t know enough history to tell you that Harry Truman didn’t de-segregate the US Military, – he re-de-segregated it!  Prior to WWI we had a smoothly functioning non-segregated military.  But that famous Progressive – Woodrow Wilson was also an ardent racist – and he ordered the Army and Navy to be segregated.

NEVER let a Democrat claim the mantel of “Race Equality Champions”.  They have promised much,  delivered little,  hyped the differences,  stoked the fears,  and all the while used Black Americans as a guaranteed voting block. Democrats and Progressives have used Blacks ruthlessly, and delivered little but new promises with each election cycle.  Worse, they have driven offshore the very jobs the poor Black population needed to work their way out of the quicksand of inner-city poverty.

It is in the interest of the Democratic Party – these new-age Progressives – to keep huge numbers of Black Americans as social and economic prisoners in inner-city ghettos. There they can be fed a subsistence diet of welfare, food stamps, medical care, receive substandard public education by unionized teachers, and be allowed a nearly unfettered supply of mind-numbing drugs, – and then be a reliable source of votes every two years.

There isn’t a Progressive alive who has a plan to break this cycle of poverty, despair, and crime which will see most young black men enticed into gangs and on to prisons, and most young black girls having babies in their teenage years, – only to refresh the cycle.  But Blacks were conned into believing that Obama was their Messiah. He is hardly that, – just a much more polished “Poverty Pimp” than Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton or Louis Farrakhan.

Here is our opportunity Republicans.  Stop looking at Blacks like the unintended consequences of winning the Civil War, – or as a voting block belonging to Democrats!  Start talking to them as people, and see how many are actually working for a living, – having rejected any thoughts of “entitlement” generations ago.  They should be Republican voters, – encouraged and welcomed at you meetings and your party events, and helping us build a stronger party – and a stronger nation.  Many of them have already seen through Obama’s bullshit.  Many are becoming embarrassed at having been conned by him. We must offer them a part in replacing him, and all the other bullshit artists – at every level of government.  Offer something more realistic that an image of “HOPE” on a cheap T-shirt.

Obama’s minions have actually given us the very tool we need to defeat him.  They made his campaign all about HIM – about HOPE and CHANGE.  There never was a résumé of accomplishments – never any substance to the wire diagram.  Just a secret birth certificate and hidden college records.  We should all carry in our wallets that stupid HOPE picture.  Then when we’re discussing politics with anybody – black, white, brown or purple, – we can pull it out and ask them was it an idea worth risking our economy for – or was it part of a snake-oil salesman’s mumbo-jumbo con of the Voters?  Ask people what was unemployment under Bush-Cheney – and what is it today?

BORDERS, SOVEREIGNTY, and ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Let’s start talking about America ideals again.  Immigrants are expected to obey our laws, learn English, become citizens,  work and pay taxes.  This game of giving wads of taxpayer dollars to anybody who shows up on our doorstep has already reached the tipping point in California, and other states are close behind.  The inescapable flaw in the concept of the welfare or nanny state is that most of the people have to work and make something of value to support those sucking on the government teat.  We cannot keep shipping our work off shore and still expect to support millions of non-working citizens and non-working illegals.

Unemployed software engineers and financial advisors cannot afford a weekly crew of illegal Mexican gardeners. So soon the gardeners will be unemployed.  Unless and until we can control our borders and control immigration, we are at risk of losing our national sovereignty, and worse we are at risk of an ethnic civil war.

We need to understand that Mexico is not simply a cheap vacation spot for America’s middle class.  It is also a festering cauldron of poverty, corruption, and drug lords which is relentlessly pushing into our southwest – and many of those pushing in have real dreams of reclaiming our territory.  A possible solution is to make the Border Patrol a quasi-military branch of DOD, and use a national draft [with GI Bill type benefits] to man it at a level to absolutely secure our borders.  We can and must secure ourselves, – or our children will wish we had.

Republicans must insist loudly on real border security, and controlled immigration.  We do need new citizens to keep us a vigorous nation, but we will not survive a wholesale ethnic migration.  And we Republicans should welcome into our party any hard working immigrants who have come with good intentions, who are obeying our laws,  and earning their living and raising good kids.  They and thier kids are the real future of our party, and we must embrace them.

Folks, I’ve departed from my usual format with this long and ~ slightly ~ rambling essay.  I once again risk offending various groups, – even people whose friendships I cherish and value. 

But Republicans need a wake-up call, and it seems that Obama – Pelosi – Reid – Soros almost isn’t enough?  So which do we value most – which will we fight for:  the Obama-Soros vision of Socialist America, – or our Founder’s vision of a Free People in a Free Republic – as laid down in our Constitution and explained in detail in the Federalist Papers?  I’ve made my choice!

   Old Soldier, – Still Good for Parts

I’ve come to understand that she is genetically incapable of logical or rational thinking about this subject – any more than she was back during her youth – the Vietnam era. To her “all war is bad” – there is never a good reason for war.  And there wouldn’t be any war – if smarter more visionary people like herself were simply allowed to sit down and talk to our enemies.  In her heart she’s an internationalist socialist – a person who yearns for a world without borders or countries – and thus without armies. She’s led a very protected life.

So despite the fact that Islamists struck here and killed people from her district [my next-door neighbor for one] her instinct is to go reason with them. She cannot grasp that the Islamists see her as a woman deserving of being stoned to death.  She just doesn’t get it – and never will – even if she was being stoned.

 >> opposed … supplemental funds for the war .. did not have an exit strategy in place
Going to war is not like going to a hockey game at the Garden. It’s nice to have an “exit strategy” when the game is over and you want to get out of Boston and drive home.  But war is not a game, and is not undertaken lightly. You are all in – or you don’t go.  And if you are being attacked,  you’re already all in it.  So you defend and counter-attack with everything – or submit to your attacker.  “Submit” has often meant that the men are killed, the women raped, and the children carried off as slaves. In 21st Century America too many people have not studied history, and cannot grasp this basic reality.

 >> length of the U.S. commitment in the region was unknown
In war the commitment is until one side is either dead, – or willing to submit. For so long as the Islamists are willing to wait us out in caves, we still have a commitment, – or they will reemerge and their next campaign will be worse. That lesson should be obvious from recent history; – our failure to crush Saddam the first time required a much more costly return trip. Vietnam and Cambodia should also be fresh in your memory.

 >> potential costs in both American lives and treasure had not been appropriately articulated
War is not a discretionary expense. If you are worried about dollar signs you are hobbling your generals and endangering your troops.  GrandMa doesn’t understand; – she is not debating about buying new jerseys for the Varsity, – she’s funding a war! This is defeatist talk at the outset, – which we also saw in Obama’s West Point surrender announcement.

 >> Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen continued the process of explaining

Niki Clutching Notes

She is such a [pardon my French] a dumb ***** she loves flinging words and titles around because she (1). is overly impressed herself, and (2) she thinks you’ll be impressed to hear her use these words.  Remember her clutching her MoveON talking points during the Town Hall events?  She really doesn’t have a CLUE!  Over a year ago I gave her the Principles of War – and offered to teach her further about them.  Think she ever even read them?  She hasn’t got a clue. Way too dumb to be in Congress.

 >> greater detail…needed around several points that are central to the ultimate success of this strategy
What Strategy??!? We have no strategy!  Obama does NOT want to win this war – you never heard him say “victory”.  His reasons and makeup are far different from GrandMa’s,  he is emotionally on the side of al Qaeda and the Taliban. He wants the Islamists to win – but it can’t be obvious.

So he claims to have a “strategy” – in reality a plan of half-actions and missteps guaranteed to produce a defeat. Democrats don’t care. [Most don’t care about people as people, they care about their grand visions and policies]. They’d all just as soon pull out now and let the Taliban start the beheadings and the stonings. They do not understand the nature of this enemy. They have no strategic vision, – right now they’re only thinking about the mid-term elections,  not about our national security or world peace.

>> I will continue to press for answers to these unresolved questions during the Armed Services Committee hearing with General McChrystal next week.
Translation: “I am just so important!!  I get to question a 4-Star General!!  I will read a series of prepared statements to McChrystal [who will listen with stony resolve while clenching his toes under the desk] and ask some prepared questions which I don’t fully understand.  I won’t understand his answers – but I’ll be seen on C-SPAN.”

 >> As the President stated, our commitment in Afghanistan cannot be indefinite
Really?  We’re still in Germany and Korea. Who dictates timelines, – Congress, the press, or the actions of the enemy?

>> training of Afghan National Security Forces has been part of our strategy for…eight years . . . they still are not close to being capable of providing security on their own.
Well, – let’s change our “strategy” and go after the Taliban and al Qaeda – let’s kill every last man, woman, child and dog where necessary to end the threat to America. That is a strategy! [OK, a ~ little ~ over the top, but you get the idea. Don’t wuss around with something this important].

Doing something half-assed, – then deciding that since it’s not working you’ll pack up and go home is why we lost in Vietnam [an easily winnable war].  It’s exactly why Cambodia fell to the Khmer Rouge [Cambodian version of the Taliban] and why the Khmer Rouge were then able to slaughter 1,500,000 people in the killing fields.  BTW Niki, the scourge of street gang violence in Lawrence and Lowell is a direct result of our turning tail and exiting SE Asia without a victory.  

Look at the map People, – understand just how very close the Taliban and al Qaeda are right now to the Pakistani nuclear arsenal – and how quickly the whole equation will change if they get their hands on even one of those Pakistani nukes.  Do you think GrandMa has a clue?

Islamist are swarming over most European countries, bullying those nations into permitting Sharia Law, and gaining ever easier access into America. Do you think GrandMa has a clue?   Help GrandMa understand she isn’t helping anybody but our enemies by diluting our efforts.  Email her at:  ntsongas@nikitsongas.com  or call: (202) 225-3411.

Well Americans, that’s a line bound to make indignant anger well up in the necks of many folks I know.  But the more I think about how much we have to do in the next eleven months,  – and how ineptly many of my Elephant friends are going about it, – the more I reach a sad conclusion:  Soros / Pelosi / Reid / Obama didn’t have to be all that clever as they schemed to put their Kenyan-born Manchurian candidate in the White House, bankrupt our economy, devalue our dollar, and lead us into the Third World.

For fifty-plus years now Americans were proud to go vote every two years.  Good patriotic voting Americans – many WWII, Korea, and Vietnam Vets.  And when their candidates lost,  they’d “rally-round” the winner, – because that was “the American Way”.  And they promptly stopped paying attention to politics for another two years.

Thus they didn’t notice the Socialists quietly taking over all the teaching jobs, and then the school administration jobs, and then the school boards.  After all, their kids were only in school for twelve years.  Further concern about schools ended on that final graduation night.  So year-by-year, new teacher by new teacher, principal by principal, the Socialists took control.  Across our land the Press and the MSM became totally populated with Socialist-trained employees.  Result:  when Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. started his campaign,  all the under-40 voters thought it was “racist” just to say his middle name,  - let alone demand to see his credentials.

Late Saturday night [in the dark of night] some 220 members of our House of Representatives deliberately and with malice of forethought – did violate their solemn oaths to our Constitution and voted to pass a bill they fully know is unconstitutional. And today many Americans just shrug their shoulders and accept this as “the way things are”.

Where is the outrage?  Where is the anger?  Why are Minuteman companies not forming on town squares?  Why aren’t cars with Obama stickers burning in the streets?  Are we to meekly accept this new Socialism as “the way things are”?

Oh, please Americans, don’t go burning any Obama-sticker cars, – - Nah, don’t, – really.  But damn-it, aren’t you ANGRY?   Are you still going to support back-stabbing RiNO candidates like Dede Scuzzyrino in the NY 23rd?  Are you going to back limp-wristed wimps who make vague promises about “lower taxes, smarter solutions, and working across the aisle”?  Or will you back those who will promise to defend your Constitutional rights – and show you their own handgun?  Is there any candidate out there who will promise to seal our border?  Will someone please run promising to investigate Barney Frank and John Murtha, and not on “being willing to work with them”!

Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Murtha, and a dozen more ought to be in jail, – not padding their re-election war chests, and in Barney’s case – endorsing a fellow Socialist for our empty Senate seat.  I don’t want these crooks ‘worked with’, – I want them worked on!

   Grrrr!

As Nancy Pelosi grins and these run-amok socialist tinkerers celebrate their success,  you should know they have just pushed America further down the path to becoming a Third World industrial weakling, – surpassed in a decade or two by both China and India, – and maybe Brazil too.

And for what, – “clean energy”?  That’s the real farce!  American industry – and our jobs – will promptly relocate to China, India, SE Asia, and South America.  Net carbon emissions – those fearsome planet-warming carbon emissions – will actually increase.

These whores haven’t figured out that Americans can’t all make a living doing each other’s laundry!  Somebody has to produce wealth, and somebody has to add value.  Voting in Al Gore’s voodoo science and enforcing it with draconian taxes adds no value in America.  But the Chinese and Indian industrialists should be dancing in their streets.

Please, download this list: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll477.xml  and keep it handy by your computer.  Know who these thieves, whores, and idiots are.  Vote them OUT of office in November 2010.  They have stolen enough.  They are unworthy.

Please forward this blog to your friends.  No matter which party you or they belong to,  all Americans must understand that this Al Gore cult of planet-warming worshipers are doing great harm to our country, even if they actually think they’re doing good.

I hardly know if my own congresswoman – Nike Tsongas from the Mass 5^th  – is a whore or an idiot.  I will reserve judgement.  But the entire Mass 5^th was once under a slab of ice 1 mile thick.  It was called the Ice Age.  Human activity had nothing to do with melting it.

So the real science is that the sun pulsates, and temperatures throughout our solar system change over time.  One big volcano could erupt and plunge us into another ice age tomorrow.

So what did your congressman get for their treasonous vote?

The idiots and the ideologues who see Al Gore as their living god, merely got a warm fuzzy feeling that they were saving the planet.  This is precisely why they’re idiots.

The thieves knew they were ruining America, – put had planned in advance to get very rich in the process, – investing their funds in stocks and ventures which we will now be forced and taxed to enrich.

The few reluctant whores held out for more money, – the 300 pages of amendments added yesterday, – containing “sweeteners” to entice the panties off the timid.  They’ll probably also get a personal Thank You Note from OBummer.  Oooh, what a priceless keepsake!  I wonder what Niki Tsongas got?  We know what Barney Frank got!

People, do everything you can to vote these bastards from office!

 Grrrr!
