No Worries?

Well fellow Patroits we almost got one month out of the way for the fresh new Republican majority in congress and something is becoming clear; no worries! They were off and running with the mandate from the people to repeal Obamacare but, missed the part where lo and behold the American people changed their collective mind. Hey, never mind the Republicans keep their campaign promises and ignore the fact that most of the yahoos who voted for them figured they'd be repealing our "Job Killing" trade agreements; No worries! Now on to the next important agenda seems to be the issue of limiting what people can do with their private health care policies like say "Abortion". Never mind in the mile a minute media cycle nobody even cares about this anymore because surprisingly enough they'd like to see their family members get back to work again but, hey no worries there either.

Now call me crazy but, I'm beginning to get the feeling like the new Republican majority thinks they can mill around looking busy for the next two years pretending like they're actually doing something. Hey, ten years ago that would probably work but, most of us have noticed that information and speed are the new hot item in town. If the Republican congress thinks they can just do make work projects for the next two years then, they'll discover the guy from Kenya they seem to hate with a passion has kinda got the younger voters figured out. Younger folks don't give a crap about parties or ideology, they expect you to do something smart and fast. Trotting out Frank Luntz talking points from the campaign cycle last year wont work because, heck that was last year. You won, now you have to govern guys because, Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert are going to keep coming up with new material and, the drum beat of 2012 will start to come up fast. You'll still be talking about repealing Obamacare while the folks who show up for the presidential elections will be asking what have you done for me lately.

Hey but, no worries because, they'll never notice you've done nothing? "Good Luck" with that one!

Murkowski for President

Yeah, I'm not kidding. I guess this is more of a test to the present Republican Party because, what I witnessed in that race was extraordinary. The woman got beat in the primary but, never gave up..ie she didn't quit. Almost single handily she set out to win back her seat in the Senate as a write in candidate and, succeeded( 1954 was the last time that happened) despite having a name almost harder to spell than "Schwarzenegger". She is a woman who has some great qualities in public speaking, knows how to govern and, oh, by the way, she's a Republican. In the face of great skepticism she fought to represent the state and the people she loved. Does this matter to the Republican Party leadership anymore is my only question because, she seems to be a fighter and she doesn't care if she's getting paid to speak for"We the People"!

I'm Dreaming of a Palin Christmas?

Well the buzz is Sarah is a smash hit with 5 million folks tuning in to "The Learning Channel"(Any creditability they did have, is now circling the toilet right now) to see a show about her. Now granted she's probably just North of reruns of NCIS but she got some viewers. Regretfully I must admit I wasn't one of them because, as a person who loves hunting and fishing I 'd say she's a piss poor example of a sportsman or women. The second I saw this women hunting down wolves with a helicopter she lost me. Can wolves be a problem with livestock, of course, but trust me they ain't taking many cattle up in Alaska.

Now if she was looking to impress me hunt'm down on foot or horseback. As a kid in Iowa my father taught me how to hunt coyotes at age 14 and, let me tell ya it's a challenge. Flying along in a craft that can travel at better than a 100 mph and can stop and hover to give you a shot seems kinda like cheating.

I saw a clip from the show on the news showing the intrepid Sarah her husband and some young children parked in a flat bottom on a river watching a mother Kodiak bear and two cubs fishing in the river. She pointed out the fact that a mother bear is very protective her cubs and how much she admired that trait. I guess the fact that she is a human mother and bringing small children in a flat bottom boat close to a mother bear with cubs is a disaster waiting to happen.

So now I can only imagine what she has planned for Christmas with Palin's? Climbing the kids up in to avalanche country where the powder is great, but your chances of getting buried under 10 feet of snow are pretty good? Maybe taking the kids out to find the den of the mother bear hibernating with the cubs and letting the kids crawl down with a flashlight to watch the peaceful sleeping carnivorous wild beasts? Here's a twist for Sarah if she really has her eye on the oval office. Take the family down to the local Salvation Army and spend Christmas teaching the kids that not everybody can make millions quiting a job. Especially up in Alaska winter is tough and unemployment and homelessness is a real problem. Show me some leadership Sarah and do something other than hawk yourself if you actually want be POTUS!

Eve of Fear

Well the 2nd of November is fast approaching patroits. The rumor is the the new motto of Congress will be "Guns, God but, no Gays allowed. A challenge was thrown down by those of unlimited wealth," We will buy your country if we can!" Now myself I always figured you can buy a beer at the bar, a nice car, heck even a wife in some parts, for the almighty dollar. My Country? The House of "We the People"?

So come the 2nd it comes down to a vote, one man one vote. Since the "Citizen United" decision was inked this has been coming. Flashy ads run day and night by the 6 major media outlets who no doubt aren't shy about the revenue stream. So if the forces of darkness succeed in this effort of purchase my simple question would be,"What did you win for the billions of dollars spent? Favorable legislation for Wall Street, Unregulated Banking, Unrestricted access to our marketplace with goods manufactured with slave labor or, Things not yet mentioned?

I say spend your money, waste your time, have a grand parade on the victory you bought. One caveat, one final word of caution to those who funded this endeavor. America can be purchased, but I'm afraid the currency is blood, that was asking price after all.

American Oil Company

Well fellow patroits we are quickly approaching the dog days of summer. Down in the Gulf Region of the U.S. folks in Louisiana are marching in the street so we can go back to more off shore drilling. Never mind we ain't got the present mess cleaned up, time to get back to work. You know what; why not? Little change in plans thou because, I think the time has come for us to just take over BP's rigs and pay the folks working them out of the US Treasury. Few boats from the Navy, a few Marines, take down the goofy Marshall Island Flags on the rigs and replace it with the "Star and Strips". Now we wouldn't have to permanently occupy this territory, mind you. We could call it "Operation Clean Gulf" and just be maintaining the safety of the rigs in these dangerous times(Heard a little rumor they were think about sailing their mobile rigs to cleaner waters off Africa) We just pay the folks to run the rigs and sell "Our" oil on the open market till things got tidied up off our shores. We dump a ton of money in to the military industrial complex so, why not protect the livelyhood of "American Citizens" with it. Throughout the modern history of the world, lead has always been more valuable than gold. I don't know about anybody else but, I think it's about time we reminded the slow pay folks at BP why that's true. Might be a great learning experience for the rest of the oil monopolies. Probably wouldn't even have to inspect their operations anymore for safe working practices after they watch what happen to their good friend BP. They'd probably become the safest, cleanest business on the face of the earth after that lesson. The name American Oil sounds good to me at this point in history.

Call to Arms

Call to arms to the Right-Wing. You've honed your talking points, you got the repetition thing down, but I think the time has come once again for you to come to the rescue?



Don Blankenship, CEO of Massey Energy would be a guy you should reach out to. Everything, you talk about, and hold as a fundamental truth in your life, Don will pay good money to keep in print and on TV. Mr. Blankenship prides himself on breaking the back of the United Mine Workers Union. He has spent his career bribing judges, politicians, and financially destroying coal towns out East. He thinks paying fines more cost effective than, following safe mining practices and, is openly proud of his track record. On this rainy Spring morning 29 men are dead in one of his highly profitable coal mines and, you know what the liberal media will do with this story my friends?



I ask the simple question, "Is this guy one of your myths of the Robber Barons"? At what point do we hold men like Blankenship responsible for the deaths of these men? I mean this guy would be a hero in your mind because, he struggled against the evil forces of the Union Bosses and won. Probably would have cost him several hundred million dollars to follow the safety standards the Unions wanted for their workers? For the cost of a couple a million in fines and political donations he has truimphed.



Tell me how this is a good thing Right-wingers? Tell me why you are proud that there will be 29 empty seats, at simple wood tables, in the homes of working class families out in West Virgina tonite? Show me how it's the black guy in the White House or, Nancy Pelosi who represents those filthy gay folks in San Francisco fault. I marvel at your work product and, how the so called liberal media will buy in to this being a Left or Right issue.



A call to arms folks; show us your finest work for one of the folks the Roberts court thinks should, have more "Free Speech" than this simple truck driver from podunk Iowa.

Vote Republican! Why?

Is the Republican against anything that helps put Americans back to work? I only ask this simple question because that is what any good Uber Patroit would ask. Let us travel through time my friends and, see how we got to this point in history.




For the Republicans to win they have to keep the economy in the mess they left it? This stupid game has been going on for the past 30 years. The Democrats come in and try and balance the budget and, get the American people employed again and, the Republicans start screaming about the deficit(They ran up through borrowing to make Laffers ponzi scheme seem like it works) Sorry, but I think this is where the stupid game should stop and we let Jude Wanniski's stupid statgey(Two Santa Claus Theroy) to get Republicans elected die! I'm tired of playing and, the American people can't afford the Republican Party anymore! The Republican Party has to have something besides good campaign slogans and, the financial backing of the "Chamber of Commerce".




Jim Bunning (R Sen KY) got mad and, let the cat out of the bag on the floor of the Senate. Why doesn't the Republican Party try doing something that, actually helps average Americans, instead of using them like wage slaves? Having 5 people looking for every 1 job availible might be good for the Chamber of Commerce but, it doesn't help your average American. The Republican Party wants the unemployment numbers unchanged and hovering around 10 % from now until the end of time.



No thanks, from this ex-Republican!
