BAH!!

If I hear one more person accusing those of us that oppose this monstrosity called Health-Care reform of being “callous” “uncaring” (insert the insult of your choice here _________), one more time I swear I am going to punch someone in the face.

The whole mantra goes like this: “You’re selfish because you don’t want poor people to have health-care!” Or the ever popular “only a greedy conservative (I’ve noticed that on most forums…pointy headed posters seem to somehow think they get bonus points for skewing the spelling and making it “KKKonservative”) would deny those less fortunate than themselves health care!” “Only a racist would deny others Health-Care!” and on and on the litany goes.

So okay I’ll play the insult game with the liberals, and be all the nasty things they claim I am for refusing to hand over my very personal health care choices, not to mention a good chunk of my salary to some faceless donkey’s ass in Washington D.C.

You’re right my hysterical little friend….I DON’T CARE!!! I’M SELFISH!!

You want to know why I don’t care? Why I am so selfish? Well let me tell you why.

I started my Work life almost 30 years ago. You want to know what I was doing?

I was an orderly in a Nursing Home. I emptied fouled bedpans and cleaned shit off of the sheets and grandma, when grandma lost control of her bowels.
I cleaned up the puke and the blood and the urine when that was needed to be done too.
I watched old people die, alone, heartbroken, forgotten by the world.

From there I went onto the arcane art of morticians assistant. I’ve been in a morgue with the dead, helping to embalm them for burial, I’ve watched the mortician slide the embalming rods into their bellies and break up their internal organs and watched a pump as it sucked out the body fluids….. as a 17 year kid. (You do know that they do that don’t you? No? Watch an embalming someday..it’s a real screamer of a time let me tell you.)

Miraculously I never did end up in a fast food joint….Perish the thought.

Facing 18, and realizing I was going no where in life at breakneck speed, I decided it was time for a change. I joined the Navy.

So yeah, back then I was part of government controlled health care and I saw the best and worst of it all for 10 years. Being so young I had little use for it, but I did, at times, use it, and every single time I did, I seemingly ended up worse off then when I went in for whatever ailment I was seeking treatment for.

Now they want me to come back to that three ring circus? I don’t think so sparky.

When I left the Navy, I went with a private company with good benefits, and I still am to this day working for yet another private company with decent benefits.

Not making much money back then, I worked other jobs on the side. One job was unloading semis, lousy wages, long hot hours on a loading dock and back breaking work. But I did it.

I also worked on a Horse Farm in exchange for room and board during those first few years out of the military. I shoveled horse manure and mucked out urine soaked horse stalls at 4 am in freezing ass cold, and stifling heat. I’ve been bit, kicked, and stepped on, by horses so many times I lost count. But I did it. Go on call me a “red-neck” Because I am I’ve worked throwing hay into a barn or mending fences until the sun burned my neck to a crisp…I wear the moniker proudly.

I’ve watched the government pillage my check for Social Security which I will never see, I’ve seen them take 20% and more of my earnings, and then HALF of my hourly wages when I dared to work overtime in an effort to make my lot in life better….and now?…Now they want more. More Taxes, more health insurance costs, more, more, more. In short they are going to redistribute my wealth, what little I have scratched out thus far that is.. to others.

Nay!! I won’t stand for it!! It’s not theirs to give!!

So why don’t I care if someone else doesn’t have the same access to Health Care that I do?

Because I bleeping EARNED it that’s why.

I’ve worked my fingers to the bone in my life time, I’ve done probably some of the worst jobs in the world, and I scratched, clawed, and fought to get to the level I am today.

No-One handed me a job, A 401k, A college education, A Health Care plan…..I went out in the world and I EARNED THEM. I’ve paid my taxes, I’ve given to my fellow man, I’ve done my part. I’ve paid my dues as an American both in taxes and blood…..I will do NO MORE!

Until anyone that DARES accuse me of being selfish can point at someone …just one person out there that has worked as hard and a diligently in life as I have to overcome the odds, that has made the sacrifices in life that I have, that has busted their tail as I have to succeed in life, that hasn’t mewled and pissed and moaned about how they are being mistreated….. yet somehow just hasn’t made it….I don’t want to hear it.

Chances are you’re going to find it hard to find such a person in America. The fact remains America IS the land of opportunity…those that try succeed, those that don’t fail. It is that simple.

A true American takes one thing to heart. And that one thing is “Failure is not an option.”

Anyone else calling themselves an American that believes otherwise, that somehow it’s okay to fail because of the color of ones skin, or whatever other qualifier should give them special status over another American…is not a true American, they are a fraud, an impostor…. a dime store cowboy wannabe.

Yes! You’re right!! I simply don’t care. Because one simple fact in all the hysteria over health care and the “30 million suffering with out it” is this, of those 30 million probably less than 1 or 2 % of them are actually people that for whatever reason are truly in need, the rest of them are illegals, moochers, slackers, and free loaders and yeah they can go screw themselves….with a rusty nail embedded 2×4. I owe them nor any pandering jack ass in a suit from D.C. NOTHING.

Bottom line to all you bleeding hearts crying about the poor, about the minority flavor of the week, about whatever victim group is your cup of tea….is simply this:

I nor do millions of Americans like me owe the black man, the red man, the yellow man, the white man, or for that matter the man in the white house a damn thing…. they owe it themselves to make their own way in America.

And by the way? I don’t owe YOU anything either my bleeding heart friend …Election of your Poser in Chief and your so called “mandate” be damned.

Take note…and try to take that “something” by force at your peril… for I will not submit.

Stimulus spending on pet liberal projects got you outraged yet? You should be, seeing as how your tax dollars are being spent to fund a bunch of perverts performing sex acts in San Fransisco.

Foxnews.com reports this article

50,000.00 dollars in ’stimulus’ funding found it’s way Via the NEA to the “Frameline Theater” a self described pornographic theater that recently showed something titled “Thundercrack”. The movie, if you can call it that, is according to it’s promoters, “the world’s only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla.”

Still not outraged? The National Endowment for the Arts or NEA has been the happy recipient of 80 MILLION dollars from the so called stimulus bill passed in Feb.

This money is supposedly being used as the FoxNews / Joseph Abrams article states to :

“The NEA was given $80 million of the government’s $787 billion economic stimulus bill to spread around to needy artists nationwide, and most of the money is being spent to help preserve jobs in museums, orchestras, theaters and dance troupes that have been hit hard by the recession”.

How nice. I’m glad to hear a porn star or a Oboe player somewhere wont go hungry. After all the rich liberals like Obama and Pelosi, well that sort of “cultural experiences” is important people!! Perish the very thought!

Are these people in D.C just that deranged? Will they stop at no low to throw their liberal bullshit in the rest of our faces?

There is no way to justify this, I don’t care if you are a liberal, conservative, or a pink baboon in a leotard, this is an utter waste of money and a direct slap in the face to the millions of hard working Americans that have lost their jobs in this disaster of an economy. Oh wait we got what was it again 14 dollars a week in the fomr of a “tax rebate”. Sorry. *SPIT*

How can anyone justify the spending of 80,000,000.00 dollars for a minuscule handful of the population, (really how many “artists” do you know?) while millions of Americans are out of work, they are loosing their homes, they are loosing their very lives, yet the politicians in D.C. see fit to squander 80,000,000.00 dollars on….. porn. Smut. It makes my head want to explode, it really does.

Tellingly this same theater is located in none other than San Fran Pelosi’s *spit* Voting grounds. Such a funny coincidence that is.

A question for any wayward “liberal” that might be reading this, Here’s a liberal thought for you, How far would that same 80,000,000.00 go to lift a family of four out of the lower economic class? To stave off a foreclosure? How many families would that same money help with getting a rung up on the economic ladder? As a conservative, despite the popular misconception of us being selfish and not wanting to “spread the wealth” I dissent.

I see nothing wrong with giving a man the tools to earn a good living, to provide for his family, even if his current blight is such that he more or less brought it upon himself, so let’s do a theoretical exercise here. I defy any liberal out there to challenge this, to somehow justify spending 80 Million f’n dollars for non productive endeavors like a porno theater while millions of Americans suffer.

On to our exercise, Joe is a H/S drop out, foolishly Joe and his girlfriend got in a bad way at the tender age of 17, trying to do the right thing, he married young and miraculously he’s managed to make a go of it with his wife and two kids.

Joe tries hard, he works, he’s not a dumb guy, but his past haunts him, no High school diploma, no real chance at making his way up anywhere anytime soon. Forget a college degree, he’s trapped now. Let’s say Joe makes 14.00 an hour at the factory, that is not going to go too far with a family of four but they would be able to live on it if they are careful and if his wife works, scratch that she probably isn’t got much choice these days, she’s going to have to work.

Several Years pass & Joe’s worked hard but he is still way behind, he’s tried but he still isn’t making much money to begin with and disaster strikes the economy tanks, and the factory just laid him off. A few weeks go by and Joe’s Unemployment is falling short of his families needs and he’s falling further behind on his rent, home ownership for Joe is an Impossible dream, he doesn’t make much more than minimum wage on Unemployment even years after he entered the workforce. Joe, his wife, and his two children are teetering on the brink of being homeless. Tragic isn’t it?

But wait, because of the ailing economy, suddenly a stimulus program is released by the politicians in D.C. to aid people like Joe, a one time tax free $25,000.00 grant, to cover the cost of vocational training and education, living expenses, and health-care but with a qualifier.

Joe has to do two things, he has to earn a minimum of a GED AND a certification in a trade. He has 16 weeks to do so, longer if the vocation he chooses demands it, Maybe Joe will become a plumber, a mechanic or Maybe he will pick Information Technology. Should Joe fail, Joe is immediately drafted into the service for a period of 24 months to repay his 25,000.00 debt he will receive full pay and benefits while in. If he succeeds he has a two year commitment in the IRR or inactive ready reserves. Either way, succeed or fail, Joe is going to avoid having himself and his family on the streets and will make some sort of contribution to pay back “society”.

Okay so suppose Joes picks IT as his goal, Research TNM has done indicates a full blown Microsoft MCSE certification runs about 8-10,000 dollars at a 2-3 week IT boot camp, leaving Joe 15,000 -18,000 dollars for his family. When he graduates Joe will see his salary increase provided he finds a job, by almost a third. Say he made 30,000.00 a year working the line at the Factory, most people in IT even a simple help desk job make close to 40,000.00. That’s a 10,000 a year increase in salary over his factory job. As he gains experience and skills in the field that salary continually increases by rather large amounts.

Who was it that said, “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him to fish and he will eat the rest of his life” Jesus I think wasn’t it?

Too simple of a plan of course, it makes too much sense, it’s too direct. Isn’t it? There’s no “special” people targeted to gain votes, no “endowments” full of party fanatics, just plain old American Joes, AND REALLY WHO CARES ABOUT THEM?!. Obviously not San Fran Nancy Pelosi, not after her comment of “I really don’t care” when asked if she knew she was the most disliked woman in America.

Far as I can see That’s “spreading the wealth” with some sort of responsibility, not just willy nilly where it ends up in the hands of oversexed morally bankrupt actors and perverts in San Fransisco.

So what about that 80,000,000.00 How far does that go for people in Joe’s situation?

3200 Joe’s. That’s how many. Probably double the amount of what benefited from the squandering of that money by Obama, the Democrats and their pervert pals in the NEA. I can’t prove it but again…how many people do you know make a living being an “artist”?

Well what about his wife?!? the feminist whine, sorry 25k per household, spent on however they deem needed, maybe it’s easier for her to go to school, but she is still with the stipulations as listed above, If Joe is smart, that other money he didn’t spend, is spent helping his wife get some sort of higher level training as well, then they really will see their future open up. If not it keeps food on the table and the lights on at least.

80 million is more or less a drop in the bucket of the over all Stimulus package of 800 BILLION, so how many Americans could truly benefit from a direct program like this? How much additional tax revenue would be generated from the additional income they make? Rather than have it wasted with the likes of the NEA?

That’s stimulus Obama, Pelosi, and the rest of you morons, that’s putting America back to work. Not putting your addled brained over sexed NEA supporters in front of honest hard working Americans.

June 19th, 2009 by TNM

This has been making the rounds across the blog-o-sphere, I found it over at The Liberty Zone

The DC crowd should take heed, tea parties, 53 year old grandmothers, it matters not, the people own this country…not the half wits in DC and their flunkies in the Media…

Hello Mr. Obama? Congress? Are you listening ?!? I think you damn well  better…

I’m a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me.

Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you’re willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I’m not a racist. This isn’t to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don’t you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don’t you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don’t trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ?? what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we’ll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band?Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let’s have it. Let’s say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ?? please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let’s just slow down and get some input from some non-politicians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law.

I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I’m busy. I’m busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course.

What happened?

You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance.

Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us.

We want our voice back.

You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington.

Our president often knows all the right buzzword[s and the latest] is ‘unsustainable’. Well, no kidding! How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don’t want your overpriced words.

Stop treating us like we’re morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you—not for long—because we are coming.

We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we’re so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you.

You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust.

We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish.

We didn’t ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don’t care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now.

We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back.

We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired.

Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you.

If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are.

If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one.

We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming.

We the people are coming.

* Update* This letter also has quite a following and a petition you can sign ..you can see more here. (H/T to John at rightwing.net)

June 18th, 2009 by TNM

There’s a bro-ha-ha going across the TN blog-o-sphere, that’s even as I write this being pushed to the National Level.

Blue Collar Muse, linked in my side bar, and one of my daily reads has the details.

Let me state clearly, I’ve read the BCM blog for a long time, Ken is a good guy, he posts some hard hitting stuff and he asks tough questions. In short he is a class act.

True to form, liberals are coming out of the woodwork to attack him, but frankly….The liberals attacking him are out gunned, out classed, and out maneuvered. The attacks he took from the TN liberal bloggers on this were handled with grace and dignity. My hat’s off to him. I don’t know if I could wade through the liberal attacks and BS with as much class.

Anyhow, Long story, short, A TN GOP staffer sent out an E-mail with a “racist” image depicting all former U.S. Presidents, with the last one being Barak Obama with only a pair of eye visible on a black back ground.
The left went ballistic, and many have called for the staffer to be fired.

Ironically, Not long after this incident, yet Another government staffer this time working in a TN democrat’s office put out an E-mail demeaning Asians, and other stupid pictures making light of child abuse, and the mentality challenged, and BCM wanted to know why the Liberals were not quite as ready to grab the pitchforks and torches.
It’s a fair question. Strangely the liberals that came after BCM skirted the issue and instead attempted to paint the obvious hypocrisy as one liberal put it “False equivocation.”

Maybe as a white TN conservative, my “Neanderthal” brain is a little slow, I had to think for a second when I saw the image for the first time, “what’s the point?” Then it dawned on me, “Ohhhhhh I get it, Obama is Black, supposedly you can’t see him in the dark.” And then my brain short circuited again and I thought, “Cripes this is stupid.”

And it is. It’s stupidity of epic measures. Did I find it racist? No more than I find the fact that the same people screaming endlessly about race, will turn around every-time, without fail, and call a white person “cracker” “hillbilly” or “redneck”.

I guess it depends on your level of “tolerance” as to if you find something of this nature “racist” or like me just plain stupid and useless.

I’m sure a liberal white, or blacks reading this post will lambaste me for failing to understand the “nuances” of being an African-American in today’s world, accuse me of being “insensitive”, or just flat out call me a “racist”. But then it is a tactic of the PC crowd to do that when they can’t reasonably debate the issues of race in America without going into emotional spasms. Okay you win, it’s ‘racist”. Fine, happy now?

But in the same vein, liberals go absolutely stark raving mad over this picture, and on the other hand a clearly racist statement gets a pass….Take for example Megan Fox’s recent comments, about if she had the chance to negotiate with Megatron (I’m assuming this is some villain in one of her latest screen appearances.) on the destruction of the world said: ”

“I think I would make a deal with him and say instead of the entire planet, can you just take out all of the white trash, hillbilly, anti-gay, super bible-beating people in Middle America?”

Implication here is some untold White millions of Americans in “middle America” are white trash. We’re not good enough, we’re so much dirt under Ms. Fox’s and other liberals feet, and our very existence offends her because we’re all a bunch of hick racists.

How she asserts that is not really known, I would love to ask her where she drew the conclusions and how she can speak with such self assured determination that this is how Middle America truly is.

At first If you’re if the same mindset as me you dismiss this immediately as a child throwing a fit, another over-paid, over sexed, chemically enhanced  Hollywood Starlet that is as so many of them are prone to do, shooting her mouth off without putting her mind in gear.  But when you look at it closer, that is precisely the problem with race in America. Very few seem to be able to approach race with any sort of level minded thought process, especially liberals like Fox who live a life dominated with emotion and fantasy rather than reason.

Where’s the outrage from the liberals attacking BCM? I looked long and hard a not one peep on Ms. Fox’s comments could I find, Why is it liberals can not at least be honest about it and say “we hate white people”? Why does Megan Fox get a pass from the left?

I know… when a nutty liberal like Fox attacks other whites that’s ok? Sort of like two black men calling each other “nigger” ..that isnt’ “racist” because they are blacks, so Megan can’t be a racist because shes’ attacking her own race, so that makes it “okay”?

Huh? Whoever the hell came up with this ROE, they need to get a clue.

Fact of the matter is; The issue of race in America is overlyconvoluted and continues to get blown out of proportion by the left. It’s like an open festering sore that liberals just can’t let heal, they scratch and dig at it endlessly and I fail to see what purpose, or productivity is gained in it.

As Rodney King quipped “Why can’t we all just get a long?’ That is the million dollar question and as long as there is so much emotional baggage tied to it, as long as white liberals keep pounding the white guilt / race drum it will not get any better, it will continue to degrade into Black v White, V Hispanic V Asian, V Arab, V etc etc etc.

Playing Gotcha !

The liberal blogs I saw linked over at BCM, and visited to read their comments concerning this issue, overwhelming have gone out of their way to promote this. It’s the classic Gotcha! Power play by liberals that is all so common in America today.

This too defeats any meaningful purpose, but it’s a well used tactic by these people to keep the race sore festering. The question is why?

Frankly, because I mostly fail at wrapping my head around any liberal’s thought process, I don’t have the answer to that either. Power Perhaps?

I think that’s a fair assertion, it’s all about the liberals controlling the debate on race.

Need proof? As one liberal poster that attacked BCM said:

blue collar mucus…..

But hey, by all means continue your little electronic loserfest. Because we “the Left” have you under foot where all your ilk belong. And that is where you will stay thanx to sub-humans like Goforth.

Nice, don’t you think?

I’ve got news for this fellow Tennessean, you try to put a “foot” literally or figuratively on me, you’ll come back with a bloody stump and your balls a fond memory. No I am not kidding. You can tout your liberal mantra all you wish, you can scream from the roof tops about racist rednecks and hillbillies, you can hate yourself because you were born the wrong color, but if you come near me with that crap, if you even dream of trying of putting me “under your foot” you and anyone else on the “left” are in for a very nasty fight. Pack a lunch, because it’s going to be a long day, trust me.

That’s not the only low brow comment I noted of that sort, the liberal blogs are teeming with them, and it’s nothing short of ugly, hypocritical, and completely counter productive.

Again I need to ask why? What is the purpose? From where I sit there is none, well other than imposing their impossibly hypocritical PC belief system on those they don’t deem ‘enlightened’ enough.

Sorry, I will not submit. I must be a racist.

April 16th, 2009 by TNM

Been quiet around here at TNM I suppose, but Okay, devils advocate time here.

Like a lot of folks, I was pretty ticked off when I saw these headlines about the DHS and domestic terror reports. This coupled with Tax day and what looks to be a sneering reply from these horses ass so called political experts in regard to the Tea-Party rallies did not do anything to make me like Jugears or his democrats buddies one damn bit more, in fact, I grow more and more disgusted with him and his appointees day by day.

Of course now, Janet Napolitano is tripping over her heels (and rightly so) trying to pacify some seriously pissed off veterans groups, and it’s always a great time to watch dumb as a box of rocks people like her squirm, she, like a lot of this current crop of elites in D.C. are CLUE-LESS. Then, when the shi* hits the fan like this they make utter fools of themselves running around trying to do damage control.

Too late Janet, you own it …Good times!!

But I digress, setting my initial reaction aside, like most rational people do, I pinched my nose and read the thing in it’s entirety, and seriously, I’d have to say; Speaking from one with lots and lots, of years in some type of government service, Offensive on certain levels yes, but it is basically nothing more than boilerplate mish-mash government belly button gazing, more or less.

In fact I’ll say without reservation, it’s so overly broad and based on various far reaching assumptions, It’s even less worthy of serious consideration than the report that surfaced in MO. This is the work of some brain dead civil servant that must of spent a whole 20 minutes doing Google searches and spit out a paper on a Friday afternoon thinking about their weekend visit with the mother in law from hell.
Or, maybe that “servant” has the hots for Janet, that would explain it.

The DHS has been at this sort of thing for years since it’s inception, although one part is irritating to a US. Veteran like me:

DHS/I&A assesses that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and
radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of extremists—including lone wolves or small terrorist cells—to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

Now any rational person knows that if you look at the numbers of people in uniform the over all size of the military as a segment of our population is far less than 10% of the 300 Million estimated Americans. Add in a percentage of 40 plus million veterans and You MIGHT make that 10%, of the total population, maybe, but I doubt it. But’d you’d have to have an awful lot of folks running around getting ready to wage war on the US Government to even approach “a small percentage” of the entire military and veteran combined populations.

Where this report goes off the rails here is with that “small percentage” as most folks know “it’s only a small percentage of Muslims using terrorist attacks” Still equates to a pretty sizable faction of people…same principle here, only on a smaller scale, where this is wrong is that they threw out generalizations that could in fact be interpreted as numbers in the thousands, as there is well over a million people in uniform.

Sadly, It also has a central theme throughout the entire paper that keeps coming back to race, and that’s disturbing as well. To read this paper you’d think there are 10 million KKK Members getting ready to wage war on D.C. The government needs to get over this race baiting crap, again it paints this overly broad picture of people and you have to ask when the hell did you last see a KKK rally? Really? TNM LIVES in a stereotypical “racist” area, TN …and I’ve yet to see one single burning cross, no people in white customs running around…nothing. I see a lot of hard working frustrated people chaffing under the boot of a overreaching federal government, but there isn’t this bogeyman racist running around in fly over country. GIVE IT A REST already. Jesus!!

The DHS needs to take a hard look at this sort of language, it’s garbage and the person responsible for this report should be severely reprimanded. Maybe A fitting punishment ….ol Janet will show up in her rubber suit and stilettos …GAK!

The military is not some breeding ground for “right-wing” extremist thought, and it, on the contrary ,teaches more about tolerance, and equal opportunity then any sector private or government in the nation. 99.9999 % OF ALL PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY BELIEVE IN HONOR…that is something this current crop of morons in DC seem to have a hard time grasping with reports such as these. That is a FACT.

TNM doesn’t like the current crop of politicians, I think Obama and his cabal are a bunch of nincompoops. I own guns, and a fair amount of ammo, I also keep stores in my basement, for emergency use, furthermore TNM supports the military 100% and is a VET; so DHS am I at risk for becoming an extremist too? According to this I am…BOO!

Maybe I am, but maybe it has nothing to do with race, or the fact that I am a veteran, or that I am white, and live in “rural” areas, but everything to do with a Federal Government that has no moral compass, and bends over backwards to appease the true threats to this country, all the while painting the people that served her, bled for her, and died for her as a bunch of simple minded gullible fools, and as domestic terror threats that are running around the “rural areas” of America with Pipe Bombs.

Morons.

Corker is my Senator, and I’m pretty dismayed at his vote in favor of Holder, it simply does not make sense, given that TN and a large majority of it’s residents are overwhelmingly  pro 2nd Amendment.

This is now the straw that broke the camel’s back for Bob Corker, his gangs of 10, 14, and habit of crossing the aisle to vote directly against TN voters wishes and now with confirming Eric Holder now has made him an OFFICIAL RINO…

Congratulations Senator Corker, wear your new RINO hat proudly, we wont forget this come election time.

And also remember this: Empty clip, smoking barrel and prying it out of my cold dead fingers is the only way in hell you Eric Holder and the rest of your merry constitutional hijacking fellows in DC are going to get my guns. Any questions?

Gun Owners of America has a nifty letter mill in the works, if your Senator voted in favor of Eric Holders nomination, here is the website to go to to send a letter to them and voice your displeasure over this.

This excellent essay comes to TNMilitant via the blog TNConserVOLiance

Courage needs a name

Damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead! Oh, that indomitable American spirit. Where has it gone?

In that august, exclusive club called the US senate, is there not one Republican willing to stand up and be counted? One who still holds fast to his basic principles. One who still understands the meaning of truth. Is there not one?….

Sorry, now, you must go read the rest.

Trust me,  it’s worth your time.
