It's a Dirty Filthy Slutty Blog Thing

Dear America,

can this October get any more frightful?

can't wait for the ninth of November; even though it spooks the living daylights out of me.

but one thing is for sure -- 

people like Glenn Beck....Paul Ryan....Mike Lee....just about anyone who calls themselves a conservative and can't stomach the idea of supporting Trump, does not respect the system and all that is at stake in this election; they are willing to even contemplate voting for a corrupt, lying, abusive, power monger, open border, globalist who has been caught ....

• using an illegal personal server for State Department communication -- including sending and receiving confidential information -- including communicating with the president using an alias
• being the someone who is directly responsible for not answering the requests for more security in Libya -- and ultimately leading to the death of four Americans in a terrorist attack in Benghazi (see also backstory on  arms deals under the cover of darkness)
• being the someone who led the State Department that led to creating the very conditions in Iraq that left the country vulnerable to ISIS -- undermining all the years of U.S. military efforts and turning whatever success we made into a near total loss
• being the someone who was paid (off) millions by Wall Street for things said -- and deals made -- in private
• being the someone who has funneled millions of dollars from countries in the Middle East to the Clinton Foundation -- masquerading as funds to charity out of the goodness of their hearts (ah ha)
• being the someone who has made personal attacks of the victims of numerous sexual assaults--  and even rape -- at the hands of HER husband, Bill

Unlike what is characteristically rich of the Left -- it's as if the Right has no concept of standing up together, all for one and one for all -- even when the going gets tough.

Surely, but don't call me Shirley, there is nothing about this election this girl likes.  Nothing.

I'm just doing my best to make a batch of lemonade with what we got.

Isn't it fascinating, though, the hypocrisy of our daily lives meeting up with what we want and expect from a candidate; for this culture of ours has fallen to new lows -- so how can we really be surprised that it is reflected back in vivid color and high-definition in a nano-second with every move during this election season?

And in that link there -- this girl isn't really calling Megyn Kelly a hypocrite....or am I?

Sure, dirty talk can sometimes just be playful, part of the game, part of the fun of being a celebrity -- in the inquiring minds wanna know kind of way; maybe the rules are just different for some than others.  Should be noted that Megyn was on live radio -- sirius xm -- at the time; in other words, she knew whatever she said would be heard in the moment, with no regrets; so we must give her double D props for discussing her "killer B's"  and her husband's penis size, right?

Now something to think about is our music --  from pop to rap.  Let's hit it, shall we?

I when I say, hit it -- it's not by the crude definition like, yeah, I hit that.  Which means to basically to f@&% a girl, k?  But the use of the double entendre is good, no?

There are some nasty, bad-ass dirty filthy songs out there -- objectifying women, loving women, f$@&ing women, hitting women -- and there are even other songs, sung by women, glorifying the quick hit with a boy!

And guess who loves to listen to it?   OUR kids.  Here's more from starpulse...

Here's words from Tove Lo's Talking Body -- a pop song widely played:

Bed, stay in bed

The feeling of your skin locked in my head

Smoke, smoke me broke

I don't care I'm down for what you want

Day drunk into the night

Wanna keep you here

Cause you dry my tears

Yeah, summer lovin' and fights

How it is for us

And it's all because

Now if we're talking body

You got a perfect one

So put it on me

Swear it won't take you long

If you love me right

We fuck for life

On and on and on

Now if we're talking body

You got a perfect one

So put it on me

Swear it won't take you long

If you love me right

We fuck for life

On and on and on

Love, give me love

Anything you want I'll give it up

Lips, lips I kiss

Bite me while I taste your fingertips

Day drunk into the night

Wanna keep you here

Cause you dry my tears

Yeah, summer lovin' and fights

How it is for us

And another one,  titled HABITS --  even better:

I eat my dinner in my bathtub

Then I go to sex clubs

Watching freaky people getting it on

It doesn't make me nervous

If anything, I'm restless

Yeah, I've been around and I've seen it all

I get home, I got the munchies

Binge on all my Twinkies

Throw up in the tub and I go to sleep

And I drank up all my money

Dazed and kinda lonely

[Chorus]

You're gone and I got to stay high

All the time, to keep you off my mind

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

High, all the time, to keep you off my mind

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Spend my days locked in a haze

Trying to forget you, babe

I fall back down

I gotta stay high, all my life

To forget I'm missing you

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2]

Pick up daddies at the playground

How I spend my day time

Loosen up their frown, make them feel alive

Make it fast and greasy

I'm numb and way too easy

[Chorus]

So - the highlight is me, G, just observing how even twisted girls devalue their God given worth to the point of singing about it, profiting from it, and in the process of making "art"...making it widely recognized that these "habits" are all okay -- when it isn't.

Yes sir ree.

Rap can say the word p&%$$y all the live long day -- grab it, take it, whip it, f@^% it, -- and there is nobody in the mainstream dissing it in the every day.  Nobody.  Just sayin'

But now look at me rambling like a country road.  

Oh wait.  There is more --

From one of my favorite songs, called Take Your Time, by Sam Hunt.  But this time, this girl is gonna cut to the second verse, much like the first, and goes like this:

....And I know it starts with "Hello"

And the next thing you know you're trying to be nice

And some guy's getting too close

Trying to pick you up

Trying to get you drunk

And I'm sure one of your friends is about to come over here

'Cause she's supposed to save you from random guys

That talk too much and wanna stay too long

It's the same old song and dance but I think you know it well

You could've rolled your eyes

Told me to go to hell

Could've walked away

But you're still here

And I'm still here

Come on let's see where it goes

Now of course, it's subtle (what can we say, it's good ole American country ballad...)

But yet, in this second verse, Sam sings a tune about random guys, "trying to pick you up, trying to get you drunk"  -- for what?  Nothing?  Just to buy a girl a drink?

Me thinks not.

Highlighting the habit of going into a bar -- letting a guy buy your drinks -- highlights what happens after the girl gets loose.  He might, as Sam very well pointed out, that after a guy gets the girl drunk, that it's quite possible that the guy intends to take advantage of her.

But even the good ole boy in Sam Hunt makes note within just a few lines..."But you're still here And I'm still here Come on let's see where it goes..."  

Enough.

It's just all this angst about what Trump said...

In light of what the Clinton's have paired off and said and done for the last forty years?  Are you sirius xxx Glenn, Paul, Mike?

And all you other 're-pubic-cans' (as Mark Levin often refers to them as)...how can you not hit the Trump tail and trail like no other and turn out on behalf of simply making a serious regime change and call it a day?

"Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs, and illegal immigration and not waste time on fighting Republican nominee"  said the Trumpster to Paul the P&%#y  Ryan (Trump didn't call him that, but he should have!  But of course, that isn't appropriate language of the future President of the United States of America...and then you might as well google Barack Obama reading from one of his own books...)

And, go ahead --
just google "dirty rap songs" and see what pops up -- dare you.

Here's a great piece (of ass) (no.  just kidding)  (too bad if you don't think it was funny)  (what did that clinton camp guy tweet during the debate...oh right...this)   It's from Ben Shapiro, read THIS...it nails the "astounding hypocrisy..." to the headboard.  yeah, he hit that out of the park.

Obama won re-election with only 55% overall voter turnout.  Obama had about 65 million votes, to Romney's 60 million -- give or take (mind you, many without consent).

Trump has to hit 66 million votes, or better.  And that's like, only reaching two-thirds of the 100 million Christian voters.  But according to Gallup -- there is a deficit in the number of registered republicans to democrats -- only 27% R, 32% D; while the independents run a whooping 40%!  IF we break down the "leaners" -- democrats top republicans, 49% -- 44%.

So no matter how you look at it -- we must turn HER over, turn HER upside down, perhaps even turn HER where the sun don't shine, for republican  Turn Out is everything.  As Trump might say -- 

it's a pretty big deal, 

it's the art of the steal, 

it's something for real, 

so how 'bout you all hit that, 

so we can turn around

 and heal, yo"

boom der it is muthafuckas

we may all feel a wee bit dirty when this whole thing is over and done -- but doesn't the Right really want to win the White House back?  (see also, Huckabee on with Megyn Kelly)   All Glenn, Paul, Mike are doing is driving a faulty message of ridiculously stupid republican anarchy, and we ain't got time for that.  Grow a pair, will ya?

Make it a Good Day, G

It's Just an Echo Heard 'Round the World Thing

Dear America,

so talk about disturbing...

over the weekend, my in-box was assaulted.  

Yeah, "Paul Ryan" sent me two emails -- both within thirty minutes of each other -- the first, titled "My Vision" and the second titled, "Time to Get to Work."

now, when you stop laughing, please let me know so we can continue.

.....................

Granted, it wasn't really a personal attack from Mr. Ryan -- it was more a group affair, courtesy of the National Republican Congressional Committee.  They were fishing for donations.

...................

But here's the brand spanking new Speaker, speaking Friday:

“To me, the House of Representatives represents what’s best of America,” he said. “The boundless opportunity to do good. But let’s be frank, the House is broken. We’re not solving problems, we’re adding to them. And I am not interested in laying blame. We are not settling scores. We are wiping the slate clean...”

“We are the body closest to the people. Every two years, we face the voters and sometimes face the music. But we do not echo the people, we represent the people. We are supposed to study up and do the homework they cannot do. So when we do not follow regular order, when we rush to pass bills that a lot of us don’t understand, we are not doing our job. Only a fully functioning house can truly represent the people,” he said.

[thank you, Breitbart, here]

and of course, I begin to wonder about that vast ocean between "echo" and "represent."

So here we go.

To "echo" is "any repetition or imitation of something, as of the opinions, speech, or dress of another,..one who imitates another."

To "represent" is "to stand for, symbolize...to serve as the official and authorized delegate or agent for; act as a spokesman for."

So by deduction, the new Speaker is a spokesman.  According to THE SPEAKER, he speaks NOT to ECHO the people, but merely to stand as a symbol of the people; in other words, he REPRESENTS for show --  simply to portray "the people," but not necessarily in substance, to speak and act for the people.

I loved the part about "to do the homework they cannot do" --  as if we are all fifth graders pouting about common core economics...but I digress.

When going to the dictionary for the official...representative...well studied academic back up on definitions, a discovery was made:  Echo, in Greek Mythology, is "a nymph whose unrequited love for Narcissus caused her to pine away until nothing but her voice remained."   And I had to laugh...

For it nails it; it's perfectly representative of all I have left -- my voice.

And more important, the Speaker has it entirely wrong and backwards.

For the house, of all places, IS to ECHO! --- In substance, in action, in integrity!  --- It's designed to ECHO the actual voice and opinion of the people!  ----  And believe you me, it IS working if this government comes to a screeching halt!

For a little levity -- from Jonah Goldberg, albeit going all the way back to 2012:

And that’s a point worth keeping in mind. The merits of compromise depend mightily on direction. If my wife and I agree to move to Chicago, then the opportunities for compromise are limitless. When we move, where we live when we get there, even how we get there: These are all reasonable subjects for negotiation. But if I want to move to Chicago and she wants to stay in Washington, D.C., splitting the difference and moving to Cleveland would be absurd. But it would be compromise.

And again to Jonah -- speaking compromise on a day more current, as in about 4 days ago,  here (in video! watch! Comes courtesy of "The Daily Signal" produced by The Heritage Foundation).

THIS liberal, leftist, progressive president has been gifted everything he wants!  What is left to give him other than total leniency for full amnesty, a single-payer healthcare system, the unconscionable extinguishing of  [certain religion... namely Christianity] and the "free exercise thereof," all topped off with another trillion dollars added to our national debt???  [That last link, btw, is really good...and it's found on The Patriot Post, and written by Arnold Ahlert.]

Seriously.  How much more can the "representation" of the right side of this fine country give in and give up without a fight -- even if that fight looks an awful lot like a fight between the people and the "republican" representation itself!?   

Now moving on to something a little more frightening -- as if it couldn't get much worse -- let's take a look at where the president has compromised, and compromised badly, to the extent of putting the United States, Europe, all of the western world basically, directly in harms way...

...on America's Foreign Policy and the finest military in the world.

Because of Barack Obama's intent on getting all boots off the ground in the Middle East -- in order to right the wrongs of his predecessor, George W. Bush, and angling to prove his ideology and policy superior to the W -- Obama compromised the safety of the world!  

Digging his heels in deep, he was so determined to get our boys and girls out of Iraq, home from Afghanistan, keeping at an arm's length in Libya, and hands completely tied against Assad, etc.etc.etc.  the western world might as well have dug our own grave.  And it's all due to the unfettered compromise of a sort -- the de-militarization of the greatest armed forces in the world coming in conjunction with "negotiations" (i.e. total capitulation) with terrorists (in Iran), telegraphing our intent to keep boots at home, come hell or high desert, no matter what, and thereby leaving the entire region, for all intents and no good purpose, utterly defenseless. [Call me silly, but telling the enemy we will not be dragged into another war pretty much tells the enemy, go for it...she's all yours.]

It wasn't Bushie who left the region vulnerable and ripe for the taking, it was President Obama.

Compromise after compromise after compromise.

But wait.  There's more!

After years of saying what sounds a lot like  "no boots on the ground" -- guess what he's doing now -- granted, about a thousand days late and a few thousand troops short?    Boots meet Ground.  [again, call me funny, but a half-assed strategy in war leaves us short, as in we are only half way involved, half way in, half way committed, but leaving us totally screwed.]

Cue The Patriot Post once more, for a nice, neat, little drive-by of a compilation of a compromise in Syria, here. Funny stuff, huh.   And for another quickie, go here.

For added research -- on your own time --  

Another good read is The Naked Communist, by W. Cleon Skousen.  There are innumerable sections to highlight, but allow me to point out how compromising (scroll a bit up on this link...if you will) on our commitments is very, very bad.   As in, "what he did not know [General MacArthur]....the Chinese had already been assured by their intelligence agents [spies] that the diplomats in Washington, London and New York [U.N.] were NOT going to allow MacArthur to retaliate with the U.S. Air Force.  MacArthur was going to be restricted to "limited" warfare."  ....MacArthur was later relieved of his command for basically committing acts of insubordination -- ergo for speaking up and violating a presidential gag order...  The book also quotes a Senator Robert A. Taft, saying "The United Nations serves a very useful purpose as a town meeting of the world....but it is an impossible weapon against forcible aggression."   An Armistice in Korea was really only achieved by accident....Stalin died...But that's really a whole 'nother story. 

Now, the last thing to read is rather long; but what can we say -- there are days when an uncompromising level of strength is not asked of you, but required!  So on that note, go to Hillsdale's Imprimis for a real treat.  Senator Tom Cotton (AR) responds to the times like a diplomat, a statesman, a learned, accomplished, and decorated war Veteran and American -- and blows any opposition out of the water with logic, law, a grasp of history and current affairs clarity, in a speech given on a day celebrating our Constitution.

.......READ IT NOW.  I will wait........

The thing is, little g is finding herself wishing on a morningstar -- and wishing a guy like this was Speaker of the House.  For a guy like this -- Senator Tom Cotton -- truly ECHOS a belief system aligned in principle, and in action, with America's foundation and Constitution, and it's uncompromising!   

What a breath of fresh air, considering the rampant suffocation of the average, conservative voice in the general (eh hem mr paul-compromise-or-bust -ryan)..... and especially.....

.....my voice, in the specific.

It's America Needs a Few Good Wing-men Thing

Dear America,

When in Hell, 

Keep Going.

Winston Churchill

sure, this was from a bit ago -- and considering how quickly things, faces, and times change these days, it's probably plum close to irrelevant by now... but no bother, no matter...

Fire one:

"I’m still enjoying what I’m doing, there’s still work to be done.  I’m still the President’s wing-man, so I’m there with my boy.  So we’ll see," Holder said in an interview on the Tom Joyner radio show. [circa 2013, plucked from Politico]

It's incredible the level of corruption; for it's the Department of Justice, not to mention what's going on in another entire branch of government in the Supreme Court, that should be -- of all places, and in all circumstances -- clinging to the virtues and duty of the Rule of Law, not to every whim and fancy and ideology according to the rule of man, even if appointed by several, even if that often looks like an entire body of congress.  

Just where is America's WING-MAN right now?

Here's a serious rebuttal to Holder's wing-man philosophy of justice well served, and it comes from another former U.S. Attorney General -- Michael B. Mukasey:   Justice and the Obama Justice Department, as adapted from a speech in the September edition of Imprimis, a publication of Hillsdale College.

Mukasey sums it up for us like so -- "our country has grown less honest, less fair, and less safe than it ought to be" largely because of the [Justice] department's work.  And then begins, in torpedo fashion, rattling off examples behind enemy lines like a prosecutor who not only knows the law, but respects it above all else.

In the end, Mukasey gives us a warning:

The problems in the DOJ won’t be solved simply by electing a less ideological president in 2016. Many of the political appointees of the past seven years will resign and take up career positions within the department, and once such people receive civil service status, it is virtually impossible to fire them. In other words, the next attorney general will be confronted with a department that’s prepared to resist policy changes. This will require great patience and dedication by the new political appointees in their efforts to return the department to its true mandate—not doing justice according to your own lights, or even according to the lights of the president who appoints you, but defending law and having enough faith in law to believe that the result, more often than not, will be justice.

The thing is, all of this talk about justice isn't really where this American girl wants to hunker down in a bunker on the day.

It's really more about the overall climate we are in -- as a nation.

For we are becoming a nation quite amenable, newly accustomed really,  to the rule of law being changed on the fly.  

And for that reason alone we should stop --  dead in our tracks --  and check the compass.

Fire Two:

To the issue of Paul Ryan becoming Speaker.  Let's regroup and look at the actual navigational charts available, and review where Ryan has been and where Ryan wants to go, shall we [or do we not have your permission to ask such a thing, Mr. Full Consensus Only or Nothing?]

Sounding less like a condition and more like a threat, what would a Ryan speaker-ship do to America?

Can you say OPEN BORDER.   

Talk about a section of the rule of law a Speaker Ryan would aim to have his power change....

For a full, exclusive, report go to BREITBART, rest his soul.

“There’s nobody in the Republican Party who could be worse than Paul Ryan,” Beck implored. “He has spent his entire adulthood ideologically connected to the open borders crowd. Open Borders is in his ideological DNA. That’s the terrifying thing. He’s an ideologue and his spent his whole life working for ideologues. Open borders seeps out of every pore of his being. This isn’t personal, it’s just who he is.”

This scathing report, lines up all the dots over twenty years, and blows Ryan's all-American boyhood, natural, darned right devilish good charm right out of the water.

The flow of illegal immigration is pure lawlessness, at a real cost of trillions of dollars to our economy, not to mention adding to the multi-cultural weakening of a nation dependent upon a common allegiance to the whole and it's well being, while individually carrying our own packs filled with the fundamentals of self-reliance and rugged independence and courage, alongside the Rule of Law as the real, bona fide, commander in chief (kinda like how a nation of 300 million wing-men and women might look).  

All the while, a possible Speaker Ryan has made his demands clear and his intentions known and will continue to align himself against the sovereign border every time.  

......And just as America elected a President Obama under the guise of hope and change --  America denied looking at the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.  

......And IF we are not careful -- we will do the same IF this House of Representatives appoints Paul Ryan as speaker.  Boom!

"Socialism 

is a philosophy of failure 

with the creed of ignorance, 

and the gospel of envy.  

It's inherent virtue 

is the equal sharing 

of misery." 

Winston Churchill

Conservatives need to band together and fight like hell.

We may have won the battle in getting John Boehner to step aside -- but let's not lose the war in letting the position go to Paul Ryan.  It's a position that puts America at risk, for the threat is real; if we fall back asleep, the enemy might not even need to use a gun, but just walk right on in, in the cover of darkness, and have us surrounded before we know any better.  We have struggled to get this far...we must keep going.   Everybody take a wing.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's About an Immediate Need for a Pop of Sunshine and a Smile Thing

Dear America,

it's a new day.

 

How many ways can we be better people?

 

If you really think about it, all our issues, problems, corruptions of character - fiscal stability - spirituality - health - peace of mind - future, can be resolved by being better people.

 

The tragedy that we spoke of just yesterday is one of them; just don't drink and drive.  Hello?

 

While the ramifications of the out-of-control, overzealous, irresponsible, governing body of people -- immediately qualifying every administration, large and small, of the last hundred years -- is another.

 

If men were angels, right?

 

You know what I'm feeling right about now?  I'm feeling an immediate crisis of confidence coming on, only to be upstaged by my blood boiling when I hear idiocy like this: 

 

SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER: "We do not have an immediate debt crisis..."

exsqueeze-me?

"But we all know that we have one looming." 

Hello?  It's been looming for at least a decade.

And that's after it made a rather uncomfortable foothold in the decade before. 

And even that's after absurd changes were administered and mandated into the American economy, by way of the creation of entitlements to begin with, dating back a century -- and, of course, not to be out done by a brand new health care entitlement, commonly recognized as Obamacare, that is projected to now cost Americans 6.7 Trillion dollars.

I can understand Boner.  I expect this kind of nonsense coming from him.

But this?

"To borrow a phrase from my friend Erskine Bowles, we are the healthiest-looking horse in the glue factory. That means America is still a step ahead of the European nations who are confronting a debt crisis, of Japan, that’s in its second lost decade. It’s probably because of our resilient economy, because of our world currency status. So we do not have a debt crisis right now. But, we see it coming. We know it’s irrefutably happening. And the point we’re trying to make with our budget is, let’s get ahead of this problem.”

This is incredible; it's obscene to the conservative ear.  For this clip is out of the mouth of one of my personal favorites -- Paul Ryan.

Oh my, people, as you know, we are like 17 trillion horse lengths behind -- while these bureaucrat jockeys think there is nothing to worry about "in the immediate" because their confidence lies upon our economic resiliency and our "world currency status?"  

Seriously?  
That "world currency status" is built upon sand --  bad debt, printed money, shady deals under the table, and a system built by a corrupt power elite where only the bookie wins -- the little people get squeezed out, bamboozled, buried, and broke.   Hello?

"But, we see it coming," he says, "we know it's irrefutable happening."   What the bleep is the difference, Mr. Ryan?   It's "irrefutable"  -- doesn't that mean , it can't be disproved?   Isn't that an occasion where an IMMEDIATE response is warranted?   Don't we then heed the warnings --  immediately --  so that it doesn't come?   Are you really saying the debt crisis is irrefutable, but it can wait?

You know, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't have an "immediate crisis of confidence;"  it's more like an immediate sense of feeling pissed off.

You know, if we just froze our spending today, at today's budget (as crazy big as it is @ 3.6 Trillion dollars), we might have a fighting chance -- but it would be a long shot, you know, given that men, who are clearly no angels, are in charge.  Only then, can we progressively keep moving forward. 

And then, keeping a decent pace, if we just cut 1%, across the board, every year for the next ten, perhaps --  getting to the finish line by a nose is foreseeable, doable. 

For the thing we must do --  immediately -- is stop the growth of the government we've got.  

And then, we can easily reform the tax system, the big three federal entitlements...as we repeal Obamacare and abolish federal departments that are grossly mismanaged, bureaucratic cesspools.

But the thing is, every thing is in the immediate.

We've basically crossed the line from celebrating the wealth and hard work and patriotism of the Greatest Generation, to becoming what may turn out -- in the history books that is -- as the Suckiest Generation; just look at what we have created and  MANufactured for ourselves, only to be outdone by what we are leaving to our children and grandchildren.   

At this rate, we belong in the glue factory -- we are total losers -- that's my immediate response to that.


Believe it's time to focus on building the better bureaucrat, statesman -- along with boldly, being, building the bigger, better human being, in general.  (Can you say 17 trillion dollar man?) So we will do that here, in earnest, in the days ahead.

But now, recognizing my immediate crisis in time management, I must stop right now, right here in the middle of the track. 

However, make no mistake, that immediate crisis in confidence, the one growing into that immediate sensation of feeling puckered up pissed, just might be with me all day. Let's pray it goes away with just a pop of sunshine and a smile.

Make it a Good Day, G 

It's Called 300 Million Specifics Thing

Dear America,

it's post debate boys and girls.

oh my, and let the fur fly.

So G has some thoughts (duh)...but hold up... let me get my laugh track up and going; let me set up my automatic interruption spring, to pop peanuts off the top of my head in an annoying fashion; let me just practice my smiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrk.

okay.  ready, steady, go G - - take it away...

We will not dwell on the @laughing hyena joe in attendance.  Other than noting we got a live one in the office of the vice presidency -- god save the king -- old Gthang is gonna leave him be. How in the world did he get this far?

I will only add this:  If Joe had simply toned it down a wee bit, carried himself in a more measured demeanor perhaps, he might have come close to winning the debate in the eyes of the independent/undecided voter hands down and no fact-checks asked. But then again, maybe not; Biden interrupted Ryan 82 times (in 90 minutes; now that's a record we can believe in).

But like I said -- this laughing stock of a debate is not where this girl is gonna settle.  Ah no...we got bigger bridges to build, higher roads to travel, freer fish to fry.

Something hit me over the head much harder than a peck from a peanut.  It didn't come until moments after the debate; it didn't come until I was listening to an undecided focus group, organized by Frank Luntz; and it almost didn't come at all.  It wasn't until one itty bitty detail was articulated....you wanna know what it was?

They returned to Ryan's five-point plan complaining about the HOW -- just how will they do it?  Nobody ever gives us specifics, they whine and cry....

....and that's when it hit me.  bonk.

Somewhere over the rainbow, happily on our way to Ameritopia, we -- as a people -- have become disconnected to the engine that gets us there [and there being anywhere but here].  And that something is called the free market.  It's as if we have forgotten the basic human dynamics, working specifically and in tandem, to operate as a whole.  The machine, the instructions, the tools, the fluids, the flow has been hindered by something rather huge -- that being, the vision itself.

Perhaps the idea of having so much freedom is simply too much for us to handle anymore?

Perhaps the notion that we could have each and every one of us pursuing happiness and reaching our dreams is overwhelming, too good to be true?

The Free Market?  Really?  No way....   Would that really work?

So back to the focus group and the gathering of "undeciders" -- and we might as well throw old Joe and MarthaModerator in there, too.  They acted as if Ryan was speaking a foreign language when he was lauding the plan to lower taxes, as part of their crazy, pie-in-the-sky five-point plan; the Romney/Ryan economic vision includes creating 12 million jobs, pursue energy independence in earnest, honestly get debt under control, make international trade work for us, while championing small business.

Everyone's like, say what?   
There's not enough specifics.
What is he talking about?
How can he say that?
How do you get there from here?

Ugh.

It's like we have to start entirely over teaching people how to be truly free!

How DID we get here, for independence sake?

Like Ryan tried to say --  repeatedly -- the idea itself is so good, so big, it's Reagan-esque; and by all evidence, if this focus group says anything at all, seems too difficult for ordinary Americans to truly comprehend.

So let's take a run at it, shall we?

With the right conditions --generously added to a whole lot of time, effort, and blood, sweat and tears -- we prosper;  when we lower taxes, it has been proven to create more opportunity for a larger portion of society across the board.  More people working, paying taxes, contributing to life and being productive citizens equals everybody wins.  It's elementary and wonderful; creating the very conditions when every day can be silly day.

Mitt Romney is a jobs guy -- whether it be from the private sector or the public servant side.

As a jobs guy, he communicates in free market speak.  For Romney, it's about creating the conditions to create jobs and then he walks away.  [wow, G.  that is good]

It's about jobs; it's about how we create more jobs; and the funny thing is, it's not that complicated when we are honestly set free to do it -- nor, does it need to be very specific!  That's the beauty of it.  And this, I would assume by his resume,  is the very perspective where Romney may live...and eat, pray, love even.

Not only that, it's where all of us should live....and eat, pray, love.

And yet, this whole government dole thing --  the nanny state seeking to remake the night of the living dead -- has got us drinking the kool-aid a wee bit too much and far too often.

The thing is, the  Free Market is an idea that never gets old.  It is the machine that generally, widely, broadly, indiscriminately, boldly, abundantly creates jobs, opportunity, happiness, purpose, for the most people; and it's truly responsible for bringing all good things to life.  

ssmmm iiiiiiii rrrrr k

Think about it.  The ability to amplify, and exponentially expand, opportunity for all, allowing more of us to keep more of our own money --- oh my goodness, oh my goodness. That is priceless!  Multiply the number of job creators -- it becomes an intangible, unlimited value.

But apparently THESE PEOPLE...they need specifics.  Are you kidding me?

The free market just doesn't operate that way.  Just where is the open mind, people?

Peanut ping:  The free market is kinda like a free spirit on steroids; when left unleashed and allowed to roam...freely...anything can happen and usually does.

Peanut ping: It's kind of like being its own animal -- kinda like a Joe Biden.  [He has succeeded because he knows thy self; he is just joe being joe and true to his own.]

Peanut ping: I just can't believe we are arguing about how much of our own money is rightfully our own money!  But I digress.

When more people are working and prospering, less people are needing and suffering; more people are able to find work when more job creators are given the freedom to invest, grow, expand their business.

IN a free market, we are no longer committed-for-life to a particular station, class, salary or benefit package. Matter of fact, the free market is the force that makes more millionaires and billionaires per capita [no.  I don't really know that,  just wanna sound as good as joe-letterman-biden] But I do know this: the free market aims to take away restrictions and open up to real possibility for anything, everything.

But how is it, in this day and age, we find ourselves at the crossroad of Enterprise and Main -- living in Contradiction and looking at a red light that never changes?  Remarkably, sadly -- the basic, universal understanding supporting the inner workings of true and free enterprise is virtually nowhere to be found.

This is not America -- land of the free and home of the brave --  being very true to herself, now is it?.

And as to my little  un-deciders ..... the specifics you seem to be looking for are more likely to be found crafted into our Declaration of Independence, enriched by our Constitution, and built into the fundamentals over decades of American life and prosperity.   It's an enigma, really, to the rest of the world.   But for you guys -- this should be where you live....and eat, pray, love even.

Peanut ping: The thing is, you don't need a Paul Ryan to tell you anything more; you don't need a Paul Ryan to explain his plan any further; the specifics are YOU, and me, and everyone else simply getting back to work.  Romney's five-point plan is to create the best conditions for the most people to get back to a real job and then walk away; it's what he does.

Peanut ping:  In other words, it's just Mitt and Paul being the best Mitt and Paul for 100% of the American people.  It's called 300 million specifics, martha [best moderator in the world -- if, in fact, you were going for 'Biden's bbbbbbbitch'].

smm iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr k

if I was sitting there next to joe, I may have slapped him silly; no, wait, he's there already.


Make it a Good Day, G

 rumor has it Joe was prepped by....wait for it...this guy...this guy....

It's a Speech Worth a Trillion Words Thing

Dear America,

"I accept the duty to help lead our nation out of a jobs crisis and back to prosperity – and I know we can do this.

I accept the calling of my generation to give our children the America that was given to us, with opportunity for the young and security for the old – and I know that we are ready.

Our nominee is sure ready. His whole life has prepared him for this moment – to meet serious challenges in a serious way, without excuses and idle words.  After four years of getting the run-around, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is Governor Mitt Romney."

and so it begins, day two of the convention, with our Vice Presidential candidate taking center stage [full transcript].

"I’m the newcomer to the campaign, so let me share a first impression.  I have never seen opponents so silent about their record, and so desperate to keep their power.

They’ve run out of ideas.  Their moment came and went. Fear and division are all they’ve got left."

it's true.
Do you think we are gonna hear about all those "shovel ready" jobs putting Americans back to work or our precious tax dollars propping up unworthy green energy schemes, like Solyndra?

Are we going to hear about the "Affordable Care Act" double-counting 716 Billion dollars to cover for ObamaCare and Medicare at the same time or how [still] two-thirds of the population wants it repealed, in part or the whole entire thing?

Do you think we are going to hear him promote the "democratic process" of the Arab Spring -- now unraveling into chaos [again] after this administration intervened in Egypt, leaving the region wide open for the Muslim Brotherhood to continue the "caliphate process"?   and don't even get me started on the success rate we are seeing out of Iraq and Afghanistan....Or, bringing in an entirely new subject, how Israel is being surrounded by those who simply hate them -- on the verge of war any day now while America walks by their side, for all intents and purposes, utterly silent...  [See also the Condi Rice Speech of just last night in reference to all of the above...Hold up...Let me get that for you....Go here]

Do you think we are going to hear about that stellar unemployment rate -- which, we were assured, would be held to 8% or lower, if we passed the president's stimulus bill?  An unemployment rate that went to TEN before inching back down again -- an unemployment rate that isn't even adjusting for those of us under-employed or who have simply stopped looking for work; all for a stimulus that began at a cost of 767 BILLION dollars, only to rise to 862 BILLION dollars, only to really be more than that, considering our addiction to freemoney.com these days and costing us at a rate of 40 cents on every dollar.

But I digress.

Let's get back to the speech --

"So here’s the question: Without a change in leadership, why would the next four years be any different from the last four years?"

actually, we can only imagine that things, without a shred of doubt, will only get worse; without the concern to be "liked" -- without the worry of re-election in another four years -- this presidency is set to operate totally unhinged and unchecked.

What fuels this presidency?What is at the root of every presidential action, and sometimes in-action, thus far? What makes this leadership, this presidency, seem so foreign to the great majority of Americans?

It's called four more words:  Dreams FROM My Father.  Here's some background for you.

I really don't want to dwell on Obama's "memoir" -- I only wish to tie the narrative that got Obama elected in the first place to a little bit of what we heard last night from Paul Ryan...

"It all started off with stirring speeches, Greek columns, the thrill of something new.  Now all that’s left is a presidency adrift, surviving on slogans that already seem tired, grasping at a moment that has already passed, like a ship trying to sail on yesterday’s wind.

President Obama was asked not long ago to reflect on any mistakes he might have made.  He said, well, “I haven’t communicated enough.”  He said his job is to “tell a story to the American people” – as if that’s the whole problem here? He needs to talk more, and we need to be better listeners?

Ladies and gentlemen, these past four years we have suffered no shortage of words in the White House.  What’s missing is leadership in the White House.  And the story that Barack Obama does tell, forever shifting blame to the last administration, is getting old.  The man assumed office almost four years ago – isn’t it about time he assumed responsibility?"

WORDS have created or saved Barack Hussein Obama.  Lots and lots of words -- either his own or masterminded by like minds for the purpose of propaganda and deception.  And Paul Ryan hit this note more than once last night.

"Maybe the greatest waste of all was time. Here we were, faced with a massive job crisis – so deep that if everyone out of work stood in single file, that unemployment line would stretch the length of the entire American continent.  You would think that any president, whatever his party, would make job creation, and nothing else, his first order of economic business.

But this president didn’t do that.  Instead, we got a long, divisive, all-or-nothing attempt to put the federal government in charge of health care."

yes. this is a good point.

and it's topped off with a whole lot of common sense:

"They have no answer to this simple reality: 

We need to stop spending money we don’t have.

My Dad used to say to me: 

'Son.  You have a choice: 

You can be part of the problem, 

or you can be part of the solution.'

The present administration 

has made its choices.  

And Mitt Romney and I have made ours: 

Before the math and the momentum 

overwhelm us all, 

we are going to solve 

this nation’s economic problems.  

And I’m going to level with you: 

We don’t have that much time.  

But if we are serious, and smart, and we lead, we can do this.

After four years 

of government trying to divide up the wealth, 

we will get America creating wealth again. 

With tax fairness and regulatory reform, 

we’ll put government 

back on the side of the men and women 

who create jobs, 

and the men and women who need jobs."  

 Dividing things -- whether it be economics or demographics -- wealth, special interests or people -- is all Obama knows.   Obama never really got Dreams FROM his father -- that was pure illusion, pure spectacle, pure narrative, pure fraud.  Obama was -- and still is -- mentored and misguided mostly by his own love of self, getting major assists by suspect influences over the years:  Frank Marshall Davis, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, his stepfather Lolo Soetoro, Bill Ayers, Saul Alinsky...and the list can go on.

[Revision:   For more background on Obama's background, simply read today's post by Mark Alexander.  Located at one of a few of my favorite things: The Patriot Post -- Mark says so much more and so much better than me, but just gotta love the synchronized patriot spirits colliding.] 

What kind of an American president has these radical associations to back him up?

It was a good speech last night.  There is a whole lot more that can be said for it.

But all I really need to know [besides what I learned in kindergarten] is that I want the guy who got his best advice from his mom, who didn't become a small business owner until after going back to school in her fifties and ultimately creating a brand new life for herself following the American way ---- and from his dad, who said things like, "Son.  You have a choice: You can be part of the problem, or you can be part of the solution."

"I learned a good deal about economics, and about America, from the author of the Reagan tax reforms – the great Jack Kemp.  What gave Jack that incredible enthusiasm was his belief in the possibilities of free people, in the power of free enterprise and strong communities to overcome poverty and despair.   We need that same optimism right now.  And in our dealings with other nations, a Romney-Ryan administration will speak with confidence and clarity.  Wherever men and women rise up for their own freedom, they will know that the American president is on their side.  Instead of managing American decline, leaving allies to doubt us and adversaries to test us, we will act in the conviction that the United States is still the greatest force for peace and liberty that this world has ever known...

...None of us have to settle for the best this administration offers – a dull, adventureless journey from one entitlement to the next, a government-planned life, a country where everything is free but us.

Listen to the way we’re spoken to already, as if everyone is stuck in some class or station in life, victims of circumstances beyond our control, with government there to help us cope with our fate.

It’s the exact opposite of everything I learned growing up....

...When I was waiting tables, washing dishes, or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life.  I was on my own path, my own journey, an American journey where I could think for myself, decide for myself, define happiness for myself.  That’s what we do in this country.  That’s the American Dream.  That’s freedom, and I’ll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners. " 

Central planners, central banking, central redistribution of wealth, central economic divide between the haves and the have-nots, central engineering of a false racial divide, central control and over-regulation in places where there should be none...this speaks of the dreams of Barack Obama.

Paul Ryan spelled it all out like a polished politician -- adding in his natural, boy-next-door, common man 'I drive a truck' fashion -- he propelled his entire audience from its shaky beginning, through jubilant fits and spurts, to moments feeling a surge of unexpected relief, all building to a rather raucous ending [because, after all WE BUILT IT! is the theme] saying:

"So here is our pledge.

We will not duck the tough issues, we will lead.

We will not spend four years blaming others, we will take responsibility.

We will not try to replace our founding principles, we will reapply our founding principles.

The work ahead will be hard.  These times demand the best of us – all of us, but we can do this.  Together, we can do this.

We can get this country working again.  We can get this economy growing again.  We can make the safety net safe again.  We can do this.

Whatever your political party, let’s come together for the sake of our country.  Join Mitt Romney and me.  Let’s give this effort everything we have.  Let’s see this through all the way.  Let’s get this done.

Thank you, and God bless."

We can do this -- oh yes we can.

Make it a Good Day, G

But my personal favorite-- and totally having nothing to do with anything important:

"We’re a full generation apart, Governor Romney and I.  And, in some ways, we’re a little different.  There are the songs on his iPod, which I’ve heard on the campaign bus     and on many hotel elevators....[laughter]   He actually urged me to play some of these songs at campaign rallies.  I said, I hope it’s not a deal-breaker Mitt, but my playlist starts with AC/DC, and ends with Zeppelin.[heavy metal laughter]"

It's About Sweet Nothings and Every Thing

Dear America,

"It is free men and women 

that drive our economy. 

Freedom is what makes America work. 

And President Obama, 

bless his heart, 

has tried to substitute government 

for free people–

and it has not worked, 

and it will never work," 

Romney said 

at LeClaire Manufacturing 

in Bettendorf, Iowa.  

[this quote captured from here]

this stuff is real, people -- and out of the mouth of a guy who truly knows a thing or two about business.

[that is a link to a WSJ article by Romney....and it's lip smackin' scrumpdilly-iscious]

and this is exactly what America needs right now....especially when it comes alongside someone we can totally trust to see the idea through, like Paul Ryan.  Getting Ryan is like getting penuche icing layered in between what could have been a very ordinary cake;  and please, don't get me wrong -- the cake is good alright; only now -- it's that much better.

But don't you just love that:  "bless his heart..."

It's like getting a twisted interpretation of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, isn't it?   Kill'em with kindness; random acts of political engineering just dripping with honey, sprinkled with sugar angels, and finished off with patting the opposition in their little behinds as we shoo them off to bed like a little Cindy-Loo Who.  nite nite and buh bye.

Romney really gets the business side of America; while Ryan really gets our roots, through and through.

You know, that little bless his heart was so truly scrumptious, I seriously think we need a live re-play, so here ya go:




The Left just doesn't understand how the real world really truly works.

take Rachel Maddow, for example -- she totally misses the point of an iconic figure in American capitalism history, Ayn Rand.  And to make that point, let's go right to the source at the Ayn Rand Institute, with a piece explaining Atlas Shrugged the right way, by Don Watkins.

First, Maddow said this - - in the company of Paul Ryan, Tuesday evening:

"In Ayn Rand’s novel, she leads her readers to see the wealthiest people as heroes, heroes that must be protected. . . . The rich are heroes and everybody else is a taker. The more the rich have, the better. The better for everyone. That is not fiscal conservatism either. It is something else."  sez the journalist.

Watkins notes right off the top, that "it is the left that divides up the world into 'the rich' and 'everybody else.' Rand doesn’t think in those terms." [and neither does Romney & Ryan, compounded daily by The Right]

And then adding the real pop, "the real division in Atlas is not between rich and poor but productive and unproductive. Rand lionizes producers: anyone who works to the best of his ability to create material values."

Do ya get it?  Of course you do.  For it works much like this:   what we give, what we put into it -- especially after applying a little someth'n-someth'n, a secret ingredient we like to call  love.  This is what makes each of us special, unique, and when tied to our natural abilities and talents,  allows for the opportunity to reach our full potential -- be it for financial abundance or any other personal motivation and aspiration in our Pursuit of Happiness.

Will The Left ever get it?  That's like trying to answer the age-old question of how many licks to the center of a tootsie roll. 

The thing is, America seems to be in the middle of a history brain-freeze; perhaps it's just a sugar high after all the years we had it soooooo good without much of any effort at all.  But make no mistake, we are experiencing a clash in the kitchen, so to speak -- all because a growing, bubbling population is hooked on entitlement and big government; a group with their only wish --  to fundamentally transform America.



The Romney and Ryan ticket is hardly about the rich against "everybody else"  -- no matter what silly, stupid, ridiculous, radical rhetoric that comes out of the mouths of the other side (especially that Joe).  That's like, nice try...   and @Maddow -- nice try.

What we have here -- in America -- is a country confection beginning with a simple family recipe:

"It is free men and women 

that drive our economy. 

Freedom is what makes America work. 

And President Obama, 

bless his heart, 

has tried to substitute government 

for free people–

and it has not worked, 

and it will never work,"

So in a context The Left can truly understand -- maybe we can all start blaming the roads, and bridges, and perhaps even the Internet for our woes, as America seems to be facing a few technical difficulties in the production department .  But let's be clear as a simple syrup, it's not the fault of the pan, or the oven, or even the recipe -- it's human error.

Whether rich or poor, we need to get back to being proud of whatever it is that we, personally, do.  And while we are at it, we should return to a practice that began decades ago -- something called Random Acts of Kindness; it begins with sprinkling our smiles, and thank you's, and appreciation, and 'bless     your     little      heart',  to everyone we come in contact with each and every day.   

Let's give each other our full support to do our best, dagnammit.

Our success, as a whole, rises -- if not multiplies -- from whatever it is we produce of value. This is how true, honest to goodness wealth is handmade over and over again, just like grammy's famous cinnamon roll recipe past on through the generations.  

While the "unproducers" -- the moochers, some may say -- need to get their sticky fingers out of other people's cookie jars right quick.  For they aren't your cookies, are they.  Hands off.  Make your own schnicker-yankee-doodles.   

I mean, c'mon -- the whole idea of borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor works because it is based on that sugar coming back, perhaps with interest -- and conjoined with a plate of rocky road brownies to earn your trust to cover for any future delinquency.  Otherwise, would your neighbor honestly keep giving you some sugah, sugar?  I think not.

The thing is, if all we do is produce a really good cup of coffee for the commuters everyday, we better do it well; if all we do is pick up trash, we better do it well -- because, goodness grief, I think I can speak for all of us when I say we really appreciate you; if all we do is teach, teach it well -- and be thorough and honest and truthful and really care about the kids; if all we do is run for office, do it well -- operate from a platform every American can be proud of....ahhh you get were this egg beater is going....

BUT first, and foremost, the emphasis is on every single one of us to produce something of value, no matter what it is.  When we produce something -- anything! -- of value, we can 'sell it', and for a profit!  -- for then perhaps the happy commuter comes back the very next day, and the day after that.... and then perhaps the next generation grows up recognizing the difference between the productive and the unproductive without the typical liberal class warfare bias, and grows up to be real adults.   

When it comes to our ability to produce something of value -- it doesn't matter if we are rich or poor at all; that argument is hardly relevant or germane, not even a quarter cup's worth.  Most people, generally speaking, started out at the soda fountain making a really yummy root-beer float with a smile and a cherry on top and often a broomstick and worked up.  [Before he grew to become one of the wealthiest liberals on the planet and slow burned the Bank of England before coming to America blessing us with his progressive presence, even George Soros (schwartz) was quite poor]

Rand gets it.  Romney gets it.  Ryan gets it.   Oooooh and Rachel*, not so much.  bless her little heart.

Make it a Good Day, G

*interesting, a net worth of 12.5 million -- for producing something of value.  thatta girl.

It's About a New VP Thing

Dear America,

It's about what the people want.

Sean Hannity interviewed Paul Ryan last night and here are just some of the reasons why we love this VP pick:

[and paraphrasing from memory here; do not quote me]

• "people want to be spoken to like adults"
• the other side just wants to reduce us to the little [petty] things in order to distract us from the big [f*&%ing deal] things  [you all remember that Joe, right?]
• "I'm not really worried about this fall...people see through this"
• the more he [BO] goes negative, the less credible he becomes
• "people want CANDID... REFRESHING ...leadership"
• it all gets down to a clear difference of objectives -- we are about changing the economic environment to create jobs and work for everyone in order to create real revenue growth -- we are about cutting spending and borrowing -- we are about reforming government programs.  WE CAN balance the budget.
• all Obama has created is a 'mountain of uncertainty" -- from tax rates that automatically increase come January to the brand new health care legislation, adding huge costs for every business
• it's about "championing small business not demeaning success"

Versus the VP we got:



there is simply no sign of Joe tempering his rhetoric to anything close to sounding Vice Presidential -- heaven forbid, presidential, if forced to step up.
 
And apparently, yippie skippy, the Republican National Convention will get a little Joe up close and personal.  Bring it, Joe -- give it everything ya'll got.

And speaking of conventions, I have to give props to Gloria Steinem today, after she said this: "Women are the key to a Democratic victory, and sometimes, children are the key to women.  It’s both right and smart for the Democratic Convention to behave as if children exist."  wow.

Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/21/feminists-slam-dnc-for-discrimination-against-mothers-during-convention/#ixzz24CpsgvZy

Currently, the DNC is not providing child care. While the policy for children to attend goes something like this:

"The DNC requires children and babies to have a credential to enter the convention, and then denies these credential requests from moms. The DNC credentialing process is being used as a tool to prevent mothers from participating at the convention and is nothing short of discriminatory,” according to Lindsey Horvath, of the NOW Hollywood branch.

Now, there is more than one way to look at this, really.  Sure, it may appear like discrimination at first blush; but then again, it may just sound like a bunch of squealing feminist pigs. I mean, are we not capable as women to get our own babysitter?  Perhaps have our husband (or partner) take the kids?   It would seem that 'The Left' continues to drive an agenda based upon pure unadulterated dependency, rather than self-reliance -- whether it be large or small.

and on that note, I must be on my way.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's What a Little R & R Can Do Thing

Dear America,

It's Monday and my August recess is officially over.

Having been gone for a little R & R -- remember, by rail -- let it be known that my girl and I logged roughly fifty-seven hours partially reclined and regretfully, a wee bit uncomfortable, and a whole lot bored for one fifteen year old.  I do believe I killed the romance of it for her forever....oh well.

We've been back for days now; even so, I feel like my thoughts are still being drowned out by the continuous purr of a rolling rrrrrrrrrrrr.  And it certainly doesn't help that my witty little mama managed to squeeze in an inquiry to her latest idea for a bumper sticker (for the GOP, of course) -- pirating a common phrase among marine navigation:  "Red Right Returning."    

While remarkably, it was while we were gone that the GOP found itself a Vice President; and how fitting, another R to round out the ticket.   And are we all quite giddy about it, or what?

LOVE Paul Ryan.   love love love this pick so much.  This ticket has got America Red Right Returning all the way; we're coming home!   We're returning from being virtually lost at sea, fully ready to restore honor, revitalize our community with one another, and revolutionize our federal government all over again.

It's kinda like coming back from vacation.

Now, we may come home feeling utterly exhausted, as if we need another vacation to recover from our vacation.   But quite honestly, after keeping our feet grounded for a day or two, with the help of a good night's sleep in-between, we begin to feel ready to take on the world again.  Our physical dimension has been given quality time to recalibrate with our soul, and suddenly, almost out of the blue, we begin to blend into one moving body, with all of our parts, and thoughts, and feelings, getting back on track.

We begin to hum along, returning to a world we now see with brand new eyes.

We are refreshed in every way.

I left town with a little apprehension -- for contrary to the president's understanding of how the real world works -- I was feeling uncomfortable about pulling up stakes and leaving my life even for a brief period of time; for who would write my day in the life of America?  It's not like I can just not show up, you know.  If I don't show up, nothing gets done, not a word gets scribed.

Which reminds me of something I read before leaving --simply titled, "Thank you, Road" by Keith Koffler, @whitehousedossier.com . good stuff indeed.

cue the A-na-lo-G:  Giving thanks for being back home, returning to my kitchen -- it's kinda like, according to the president's beliefs -- anyone with an oven can bake a decent casserole; anyone with an oven, never burns a cookie; anyone with an oven, cooks like an Iron Chef.   The tools don't do a thing, Mr. President, until someone steps up to create something of value...but then, we digress....

Returning to the train of thought, please don't misconstrue -- it's not like I'm anything big, either.  I recognize how wee I am [and grateful for it, really --for  my little g-ness kinda keeps the riff-raff at bay].

The thing is -- it all comes down to ME wanting to show up, for it feeds a part of me that I can't even put into words. [yes, selfish, I know]

Besides marking my RED RIGHT RETURNING, today celebrates a process that began three years ago.

Somehow, I've rolled along long enough, keeping a diary of all things Americana, and have reached a milestone; for this day, this happy monday, this day in the life of America,  marks my 500th entry.

Granted, sometimes I'm just full of myself and it's all about me; sometimes, I've just simply had enough, totally exasperated by the political environment; sometimes I venture to make a point, still other times, I try to make too many; while even though it's called a day in the life -- realistically, it's like every third day...but who's counting, right? -- the thing is this little engine that could shows up when I it's time to blow.  And besides, all in all, it's my blog and I can say what I want to, often cry if I want to.

America has been holding, treading water at a turning point, for the last three and a half years -- while it's all coming 'round right quick.  And here are a couple of my favorite quotes capitalizing on the sea change while I was gone:

"So, Mr. President, take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago, and let us get about rebuilding and reuniting America."  Mitt Romney

"The last time I was filling my truck up, it cost 100 bucks, the only reason it cost 100 bucks is because the pump cut me off at at 100 dollars. I didn't even fill the gas tank! Enough! We have our own oil and gas. We have nuclear. We have all of the above: Wind, solar, coal. Let's use it. Let's make us energy independent...

I don't know about you,but when I was growing up, you know, when I was flippin' burgers at McDonald's, when I was standing in front of that big Hobart machine washing dishes or waiting tables, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I thought to myself, I'm the American dream on a path and journey so that I can find happiness however I can find it myself."  Paul Ryan

[this versus the train wreck that needs no more introduction than 'just Joe':  courtesy of ABC news, "We got a real clear picture of what they all value,” Biden said. “Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, ‘unchain Wall Street.’ They’re going to put y’all back in chains.”]


Perhaps it's all the rest and relaxation messing with my head, but I do say that We, the GOP, have a perfectly well-rounded ticket for the American people to be very much excited about.

You know what else we can be excited about?

Are you ready for some football?  Just the music alone is enough to send chills all up and down my leg.

And the kids ...they all go back to school......

ahhhhhhhh just breathe, G, just breathe in the RED RIGHT RETURNING of fall; we are rebuilding and reuniting with all things good for America.

All is right with the world again.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's an Americanization Thing

Dear America, 

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

how many of us, living in America, would stand with our hand over our heart and say this very same pledge without prejudice... without a doubt... without an ACLU attorney present and by our side?


From The Patriot Post this morning, nearing the end of his column, Mark Alexander's weekly essay told of a story about one of his colleagues, adding a personal dimension while striking hard upon the ramifications if America cannot find the delicate balance of immigration and citizenship.  

As told by Alexander, this fellow patriot, now working alongside him, was born in Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, in the area of Bratislava. By the way he tells it, this colleague grew up with one lifelong dream:  making America his home.  And so it begins, trailblazing his own path to citizenship -- in a country across an ocean and miles further in ideology -- that ultimately took him years... unimaginable initiative... and tireless effort.

Alexander just had to know, just what are his thoughts about America's current immigration reform agenda, and he replied with this:

"Sometimes I wonder why we came here and I struggled so hard to become a U.S. citizen, when the U.S. is moving toward the tyranny I worked so hard to escape.
...The out-of-control government spending and regulations, more government programs and employees, just lead to more corruption and constriction of Liberty. This is a cancer that will kill free enterprise. In Czechoslovakia, the socialist's control and regulation led to political corruption, and no reason to work harder because if you earned more, the government took more to give to others. America is sick with this cancer and it should be removed..."

spoken like a guy who knows from experience. and not finished, he added:

"America needs very strict controls, and those who do become citizens should be 'Americanized' or else America will be no more."

It was Joe Walsh (R), the gentleman from Illinois, who said -- immediately following the sideshow meeting President Obama held with the GOP leaders over the Debt Ceiling Dilemma --  "he has no idea how the free market works" when pressed for some clues about how things went, with Neil Cavuto yesterday; Walsh went a step further, posing the concern that the topic of debt and deficits is just not registering with the leader of the free world. [sure...let's....piggy backing on yesterday's G, picture football flying over head]

Now over two years in, we have proven, for the umpteenth time, stimulus spending, government intervention, and more entitlement just does not work to lift a country out of economic doldrums.  And to that end, the GOP are seeking strong measures to get America back on track.  And while Obama claims he wants to hear what republicans have to say, he has no intention of caving in on his America dream  -- to fundamentally transform her from the inside out. 

What to do, what to do, when a president needs Americanization.

so yes, maybe I am weaving in a wee bit too much for one day.  but the thing is, if you allow me to expand,  there really is a common thread between our debt, our running up of trillion dollar deficits, beside the dangers and  remarkable contrast of the American way of life running in short supply.

The absence of an Americanized citizenry is all around us; we are no longer recreating the americanized role model according to plan; we are no longer living within our means, according to plan; we are no longer speaking one language, according to plan; we are no longer melting into one, unified body of people, under God, according to plan; we are no longer living in community with self-reliant, independent citizenry, according to plan; we are no longer willing and able, if not fully emblazoned, to give respectfully of ourselves to God and country, no matter what comes, according to plan [see pledge at the start]; we are no longer elevating the principles of a true free market society, according to plan...and on and on.

According to a new New Deal, we have entered a new age and by the looks of things, could not care less -- for this is an age where no initiative, no extra effort, no allegiance, no pledge, no prayerful thought is required; and, as a matter of fact,  is frowned upon even.  just follow the bouncing ball...where are we at...

Obama's budget was voted down in the Senate 97 to zero; not one democrat was willing to stick out his allegiance to the president's plan, not one!  Obama is willing to add 2.4 Trillion dollars to our, already, gargantuan national debt of 14.4 Trillion, with no strings attached.  Obama is willing to overlook the illegalities of 12 to 18 million illegal immigrants  votes, disrespectful of the hundreds of thousands of people like this Slovakian colleague of Mark Alexander's, in a Statue of Liberty minute. Obama is willing to jeopardize the nation's solvency by adding another entitlement we cannot afford -- while ignoring the immediate reform needed of the programs we already have.

Obama thinks stimulating a "free market" is accomplished best by adding government jobs, government grants, government bureaucrats, government intervention/regulation/control, all adding 20% to the government bottom line.  As unamerican as an American president can get,  I am willing to bet that Obama is willing to sell America's soul if we let him (and no, I didn't just call him the devil.  I am merely responding to a repeated offense -- with emphasis on a simple question --  just how far is this president willing to go? because I'm not sensing any self-control here.  This man has an agenda that counters every American ideal through and through).

Continuing with the theme of the week,  a jaded G stands with Walsh, President Obama does not understand a true free market -- the very market this country was made, flourished even, rising out of the tireless efforts of immigrants past, those who paved the way and made possible a nation's future... creating... prospering... in the free-est society that ever lived.

But that takes work, a conscience, integrity, even the ability to see far down the road, into the lives of future generations, doesn't it?

A system built upon robbing Peter to pay Paul -- whether it is in the capacity of hardworking Americans feeding the mouths of families here illegally, or whether it is one hand of government feeding the empty coffers of another, it is all the same -- and in no way does it have the capacity to sustain us.   Bernie Madoff economics lasts only as long as the people remain blind, oblivious, and disengaged. And yet, the "progressives of today" and the "socialists of tomorrow" continually challenge this debate -- remaining clearly willing to let the "americanization" part of the equation go.

Perhaps it takes hearing the words of new Americans -- those effervescing the American spirit in every way, those who have had to work awfully hard to get here, who get this from the gut -- to remind us of just what is at stake.

We are in a world of hurt.  A hurt so huge, anyone with half a brain must realize the injustice is not from one party, one cause, building upon one issue larger than next -- it is all of it.  It is a vicious combination, and going viral as we speak, stemming from americans no longer acting and behaving and leading as AMERICANS -- as one voice shining above all the rest, reciting in unison a pledge that binds our hearts and minds forever.  A voice that stands together, willing to do whatever it takes, in order to establish a new life, in a new country, feeding a new dream that can only come living in community within the borders of a truly free society.

As a people, we no longer reflect the American way, the truth, and the Light.

In the meeting with the president, Paul Ryan said it best, “Leadership should come from the top.”

Demonstrating just how far he is willing to go to make things right -- and for me, calling for backup from an article published on The Hill, Ryan capitalizes on his meeting with the president saying to the press, “As far as Medicare is concerned, we wanted to make sure the president understood the facts about our proposal so he doesn’t continue to mischaracterize it. We just needed to clear the air."

Can you just imagine what it is like for a Slovakian waking up as an American citizen for the very first time?  I can only assume every day would be brand new.  No matter the weather, the air would be clearer, fresher, an invigorating burst of new life for a wayward, tiresome soul who spent years making it his reality.

It would behoove each and every one of us to walk out our door right now and take in a good, long breath -- maybe even fall down on bended knee and kiss the ground good.

Americanization is the only way America works.
and with that, my three day jaded spree is sensing a lift...

Make it a Good Day, G

speaking of which, happy Ascension Day to my fellow believers xx
