My friend from N.C. comments:

Southern Reflections: The Presidential Pageants

Sometimes, our actions speak louder than words and sometimes, our actions are not as clearly understood as we would have hoped by friends and foes alike. Case in point …

For more years than I care to recall, principled conservatives have swallowed their pride, postponed their hopes and dreams and cast their votes for the lesser-of-the-evils. The scenario is always the same. The Republicrat Party, positioned as the “conservative” alternative to the Demagogue Party, would always capitulate to the internationalists and one-world advocates within their leadership ranks and promote one of their “more dependable” neo-cons as their presidential candidate.

This subtle move would always come after a heated campaign that initially included candidates of all persuasions. Conservatives were told that we must be an inclusive party in order to win and the more conservative candidates would be peeled away from the pack with timely precision.

Demagogue candidates would assume their role as leaders of the “left” while Republicrat candidates would presume to lead from the “right”. After an entertaining election and with the help of a managed press, pollsters, and Insiders scattered across the political spectrum, the two sides would gather in the center and rule from a business-as-usual position. Many of us recall a short but diminutive Alabama Governor telling us many years ago that “there wasn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the two parties.” With the devaluation of our currency, that dime is probably a penny today.

All of the above is to further explain why, this year after so many frustrated elections, I will either sit the Presidential Pageant out or cast a symbolic vote for a candidate in name only. We have all heard the refrain of the Republicrats. By not voting for the lesser evil and accepting a few crumbs from the political table, we will be ensuring the election of someone far worse.

After many years of activism, I can only reply,”Bring it on“. Maybe its time for this fading Republic to get a real wake-up call and we can begin to replace some of this email with knee-mail. If its humbling that we need, then, I would suggest that President Obama might just do the job. We can already see Obama moving toward the center to align himself more with those that really run this country, so it probably won’t be as much of a shock as some would have us believe.

Frankly, this country is broke, morally, spiritually and even financially. We are unable to afford much of what either candidate is promising and with the do-nothing tendency of our Congress, we might not notice any change at all. So, bring it on. If we can ride out the storm and re-discover our Godly heritage, it will be well worth any short term pains.

Southern Solutions advocates independent and sovereign states within a federal system wherein the central government is limited in it’s power over us. Free Trade doesn’t require 2500 pages of bureaucratic regulations and foreign controlled legal oversight. Southern Solutions would open our land to manageable legal immigration and cease all illegal immigration. Southern Solutions would not be isolationist in nature, however minding our own business would be the practice. Our energy policy would include all forms of energy with the market place, not politicians, being the determining factor. Issues such as health care and education would be left up to the people of the separate states. And, on and on …bring it on whether by devolution or by an enlightened population.

We the Sheeple often forget that it is our Country and we CAN take it back whenever we have the will to do so. Here is a message from Congressman Ron Paul that seems appropriate for this Independence Day. Along with the family get-togethers and cook-outs, let this be a day of new beginnings. May today be the day we once again declare our Independence!

I have, for the past 35 years, expressed my grave concern for the future of America. The course we have taken over the past century has threatened our liberties, security and prosperity. In spite of these long-held concerns, I have days—growing more frequent all the time—when I’m convinced the time is now upon us that some Big Events are about to occur. These fast-approaching events will not go unnoticed. They will affect all of us. They will not be limited to just some areas of our country. The world economy and political system will share in the chaos about to be unleashed.

Though the world has long suffered from the senselessness of wars that should have been avoided, my greatest fear is that the course on which we find ourselves will bring even greater conflict and economic suffering to the innocent people of the world—unless we quickly change our ways.

I listened to the Gill Report today.  Steve got to debating with himself about the race in Tennessee’s 7Th.   

First off, he thumped Congressional Rep. Marsha Blackburn for her bad ciphering when it comes to campaign funds.  Then Gill said she was not very swift because she hired her offspring to raise funds for her campaigns.  He let her off the hook for these transgressions by saying the goofs were not enough in themselves to send her packing from the halls of congress.

Then the ‘Talk of Tennessee’ host turned his attention to Shelby County’s republican and GOP Spartan, Tom Leatherwood. 

It seems that Gill takes issue with Leatherwoods claim that he fought along side other folks like then State Senator Blackburn and Gill, himself, to beat back a state income tax.   Gill said he (Gill) was heavily involved in that ruckus and that the the State Senator Leatherwood was not a player at all.  He even went on to say that if he were made to guess, Leatherwood may even have been one of the republicans trying to work with the socialists in an attempt to vie for a compromise of some sort.  That compromise would have left us starting with a ‘lesser’ state income tax that would have still been a state income tax none the less. 

Gill said we had enough professional liars in DC without Leatherwood applying for the job.

Now THAT was harsh!

Mick Wright over in Mickland gave me the “gold” for my numerous assaults on his character. I just want to tell Mick that I appreciate this award. I would like to thank all of the people that helped make this happen. The short list would be Farmer John and Mick’s parents. Again it is much appreciated and I am sorry that I had not posted this sooner.

Marsha Blackburn is a cosponsor of HR 362 against Iran, which includes “imposing stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran.” In other words, deny sick Iranian children needed and promptly exported medicine because the Neo-Cons don’t want Iran as a counterbalance against Israel’s aspirations for regional hegemony. We don’t need another war for the benefit of Israel and the global elite.

H/T - a friend

Someone sent me a message this morning through a 3rd party. The message was “F**k You!”. I thought I might take a moment to respond.

My sincerest apologies are in order. The individual is a male and I simply don’t lean that way. So I simply cannot allow you to do that.

(Don’t you just love folks who go through other people with messages like that. Where I come from we call them “chicken shits”)

[h/t] THE INFIDEL (a.k.a. Wacker)

Mrs. Obama is not well received by people according to this poll. I think that her just being a complete bitch every stinking time I have seen her could possibly keep people from liking her. Mrs. McAmnesty or Mrs. Botox or Mrs. Whateversurgery blah blah blah you want to call her does not do anything to offend. I do not think that she does anything to impress people either, but not offending goes a long way. Just look at how well I am liked.

I do not think that this country is ready for a black president especially one that has so much negative attached to him. Obama’s name alone is enough to turn some people away. Right or wrong it really does not matter because if we did what was right in this country we would not only have two major political parties. There are a host of other items that if we did what is right we would have or not have. Taxes, high gas prices, NAFTA, CAFTA, United Nations, no free speech and the usurping of our 2nd amendment rights are just a few of the wrongs that could be corrected if everyone did what was right. Voting for Obama would certainly not be right no matter what color he is because he is a socialist.

Well, at least Jim Cooper does not think that it counts when he does the things he accuses others of doing. It seems that it is this way with most of TN’s politicians.

By the way I saw none other than Tre Hargett today at Walgreens. I wonder if he is plotting to remove Tom Leatherwood’s material from people’s houses as he did mine. I am sure his hero Marsha Blackburn has enlisted the scum that is Tre Hargett to aid in her campaign against Leatherwood.

A story from Blue Collar Muse on a little eminent domain issue in Nashville. We see this type of usurpation daily and yet we continue to vote for the same people. If you are one of the idiots that keep voting for these idiots please quit because the rest of us are suffering from it.

Here is some more information on Sonny Landham’s campaign. Well, actually it is his website and coverage on FOX News. In the near future everyone’s favorite racist and I will be hosting a fundraiser for Sonny in the Memphis, TN area. Please feel free to contact me if you need any information. www.sonny2008.com

I must also throw in a slap to the face of the Constitution Party. What a group of complete idiots. They could have had Sonny on their ticket, but they were just too damn stupid. I guess that is what you get when you have ambulance chaser Darrell Castle running your party. By the way Baldwin sucks and I would vote for my mastiff before I voted for Baldwin.

9 out of 10 Communists prefer:

This group is for self-proclaimed Marxists/Communists/Socialists for the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency. By no means is he a true Marxist, but under Karl Marx’s writings we are to support the party with the best interests of the mobilization of the proletariat. Though the Democratic Socialists of America or the Communist Patty of America may have more Socialististic values, it is pointless to vote for these candidates due to the fact that there is virutally no chance they will be elected on a National level. The members of this group are not Leninists, Stalinists, etc. and do not support or condone the actions of North Korea, China, Cuba or any other self-procalimed “Marxist States.” They do not in anyway represent the Marxist philosophy nor do they represent Socialism/ Communsim. We support Barack Obama because he knows what is best for the people!

9 out of 10 Terrorists prefer:

“I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse. … I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principal. And he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community, but not with humiliation and arrogance,”

Interesting ain’t it?

A little debate between Mickey and I on my previous post regarding why it is critical to stop the Obama Nation (notice the new addition to the sidebar). Mickey is echoing Bill Cunningham’s sentiments and my own in months past. Bill has more reason to dislike John McCain (or McAmnesty as he calls him) than I do. It was Bill who got thrown under the straight talk express by McCain for using Barak Hussein Obama’s full name. The proposition is that if Obama wins election, things will be so bad that people will be begging for a conservative next time (similar to Jimmy Carter’s Presidency).

Here is the problem with that folks. We are living in dangerous times. As many of you know, I have been doing some serious research into the events of 9/11. I did a lot of the research and analysis for a new book (also on the sidebar) due to be released September 1st, and I’m currently working on a book for release next year. So, I am very familiar with the controversy surrounding what happened, and why. Regardless of what some “Truthers” may say about those events and how it was an “inside job”, the fact remains that 19 Al Qaeda terrorists armed with knives and box-cutters hijacked and used commercial airliners to kill over 3,000 Americans on our home soil. They did so on the orders of Osama Bin Laden, with a little help from a number of yet-to-be-fully-identified sources.

Although I do not like the way that President Bush has handled the aftermath of those events, he has kept the “bad guys” on the run. I think people forget that American lives are at stake here at home and abroad, and this is very serious business. This is not the time to have a Commander-in-Chief whose only experience is running for State Office, only to run for the United States Senate and then run for the Presidency. He has been so busy running for office he has not had time to do any of his elected jobs and does not have the slightest clue what is going on in the real world. Add to this the emerging energy crisis and collapsing economy; and this is no time for amateurs.

So if Mickey and others want to vote principle and risk an Obama Nation, then I respect that. If Mickey could show me another candidate of principle who has the experience to lead during such a critical time, then I would be happy to vote for him (or her). No, John McCain is not the best man for the job, but he is the only man on the ticket who can do the job.

I have never heard so many spots on the radio for Marsha Blackburn in all her runs for US Congress until Now.  I guess she has to tell everybody again and again how conservative she is, when we that pay attention, know the facts.  Now she has competition here in the Shelby/Fayette/Hardeman I expect we will hear more and more but learn less and less, because, so far, she has refused to debate with her challenger, Tom Leatherwood. 

I for one would like to hear why she voted for MORE and MORE of my money to go to foreign nations, for the United Nations, for bridges to nowhere and why she ignores the constitution on privacy? The list goes on… 

Perhaps that is why she hasn’t had any real TownHall answer sessions this term….  I’m just saying….  With an 18% approval rate for Congress, it is time we let her know, she is part of the problem, not the solution.
