Revealing His True Nature
Many thanks, Obama. The Brokaw record. Ronald Wilson Whitman? Cranky Pat Buchanan, plus more.

REAGAN? ARE YOU NUTS?
Re: Peter Hannaford's The
Next Reagan? Maybe:
Fred Barnes likes Meg Whitman, now TAS decides to put out a fawning piece that insults the memory of Reagan.
Meg Whitman is a smart-ass elite liberal disguising herself as a business-oriented conservative.
Her phony persona has already been discovered by those of us who checked out her performance record.
Is TAS nuts? She's not qualified to mention Reagan's name, and she is a RINO.
Enough. You people need to get outside the beltway.

Ms. Whitman's "love fest" with Van Jones finished her off. I and
many others will commit considerable time and resources seeing to
it she does not get the Republican nomination for Governor.

SEPARATE AND DISTINCT
Re: James Ginch's letter (under "Hate Squad") in Reader
Mail's Dancing
With the Bureaucrats:
Mr. Ginch:
C.S. Lewis told the story of a group of hospital administrators who decided that instead of building a monument to the hospital's employees who had fallen during the Somme, they would use the money to pay for part of the new wing the hospital was building. They thought that completing the wing and putting a brass plaque on the door would be a more "practical" monument for those dead veterans.
Lewis pointed out that there was another wing in the hospital that already was dedicated as a practical monument and also had a brass plaque on its door as well. He then asked the administrators to tell him who that plaque was for. They admitted they did not know. Lewis replied that, if the purpose that "monument" was to remember those men and the sacrifice they made for God and country, it was a failure and thus was not practical at all.
9/11 deserves to be remembered for what it was. It was a crime of war. It was a day men with no honor killed innocent men and women. It was a day very ordinary Americans took up courage and sacrifice to run into almost certain death to rescue and comfort the trapped, frightened and injured. It was among the worst to happen to America and a display of the best in Americans.
Offer a cup of cold water to the thirsty. Give a bowl of soup to
the hungry. Clothe those who only have rags left to wear. Pick up
trash along the highway. These please our God. It is gratitude
and loyalty we owe to our country. But these are separate and
distinct things unto themselves. They don't need to be hitched to
911. They are not "practical" memorials to 9/11. And the last
thing America needs to erase memories from our past.

Is Pat Buchanan a Crank?:
Pat's decline is one of the great mysteries of the conservative movement.

Mr. Dooley,
Bravo! Well said!
You captured what was in my heart more eloquently than I could express it.
IMKessel| 9.16.09 @ 10:26AM
Misters Dooley, Holland, Amos and Mrs. Gunn, excellent commentary today. I proudly stand with you to lend a voice to reason and patriotic spirit.

Regarding Anonymous's claims of the Republican party being a dinosaur. In many ways, he's right in that it's corrupted by moderates who enjoy going out for drinks and "compromising" with the left and anti-taxpayer interests.
That said, however, I love comparisons of conservatives to dinosaurs. Let's review: The dinosaurs lasted for tens of millions of years and it took a meteor shower to knock 'em out. On the other hand, the liberals have always NEEDED dinosaurs to generate tax revenue to keep their short lived illusion of socialist happiness going (illusion because they're continually miserable and blaming their benefactors for the visible failures of their ideology).
The left welcomes a meteorite strike because, like vandals, tearing down society is all they're good at. Actually accomplishing things eludes them such as a utopia where the poor can benefit (the few socialist countries they worship have tight immigration controls.)

Mr. Dooley,
Extremely well spoken on behalf of many of us sir.
Thanks
S.L. Toddard| 9.16.09 @ 1:48PM
Mr Brooks, what is it you hate so much about Joe Sobran? He seems an odd choice of nemeses.
Alan Brooks| 9.16.09 @ 8:37PM
Will have to think about it.
So in the meantime, why do you hate GW Bush, Toddard?
why do BTW, insist on baby talk. not to go tit for tat again-- but you do waste time-- which is so precious?
IMKessel| 9.16.09 @ 8:40PM
No Frost in the forecast?
Alan Brooks| 9.16.09 @ 8:42PM
I feel sad you waste so much time here-- mostly your own.
Perhaps not hate, however you at the least dislike Bush strongly, Toddard; even though he is not in power today.
I don't care about him either way. Remember it was Carter who opened the can of worms in Afghanistan by demonstrating to the Soviets that he was a pushover; the Russkies thought it was relatively safe to invade in '78.

That along with the horrendous behavior elicited by the public and conveniently proffered by the press Bailey Button Ugg Boots , should have caused these folks to be named as Traitors and sentenced in prison. You will find no sympathy or concern as these giants fall into bankruptcy ugg boots sale .but you do waste time-- which is so precious?

Sir's, and Mam's of course,
My Advice Is to Get the Book By Miles Copland:
The Game of Nations. It Covers the Mideast Conflict from the inception of Israel in 1947 through the 1967 Six day War.
The Cover Page States, for the Title of Chapters,
1. If you can Not Change the Player's, Change the rules.
2. If you can Not Change the Rules, Change the Players.
Now I'm Not Saying that the Smoke and Mirror's Concept doesn't Alway's, Work.
It has Been Blowing Up in the Face of Most of the MidEast for Generations now.
To Date, The, Same Families, Fighting The Same Battle over the Same Piece of Ground,
For Over 4000 years since, Abraham Gave the Birthright Blessing to "The Wrong?" Son?
Therefore, Why, would Anyone Expect This to Be Different in this Contest?
When Good Men Do Nothing, The Evil that Men do, Proliferates, with Abandon.
IE: ACORN, The ACLU and the Rights of the Individual are Stepped on,
and Ground underfoot by the Elite and Effite Members that have Usurped, By PC Etiquit? Or Their “OWN” Bigotry?
The Rights of "WE THE PEOPLE" not Only To Voice our GOD Given Right to Free Speech, But The Expressing of that Right,
And OUR FREE CHOICE TO OPPOSE THEIR AGENDA:
in " OUR" HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES" ?? And That THAT HOUSE,
IS, " NOT" Their House! They Are, Supposed to Represent US!
So Gentlemen and Gentle Ladies, I Suggest,
"The Constitution", as A Second Reading assignment, Along with THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
For My Part, I will Protest, Write, and Picket OUTSIDE THE CONGRESS,
< MEDIA OUTLETS and ANYWHERE, ELSE I CAN>
For: The Constitution, and First Amendment, Second Amendment, 10th Amendment, Etc, Ect..
UNTIL THIS ADMINISTRATION: < HEARS U.S. and LISTENS TO U.S.> And REPRESENTS THE U.S. !!!!!!
TO REP OF (STATE) BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE:
I WISH TO HAVE YOU PRESENT THIS AS A LETTER FROM A CONCERNED CITIZEN, FOR REFORM OF THIS GOVERNMENT TO:
BARNY FRANK AND THE REST OF THIS ADMINISTRATION! IF, THEY THOUGHT “TEA PARTY” WAS A MOVEMENT?
WELL, THEIR TERM LIMIT IS UP IN 2010!
SOONER “ IF” , OF THEIR PROSECUTION AND INDICTMENT BRING CONVICTIONS FOR THIS CONGRESS AND ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS.
TIME TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO WASHINGTON!
"WHERE THEIR COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACY", WITH THE ACORN AND THE SEIU UNION ORGANIZATION’S,
ARE CONCERNED, WITH THE TACIT APPROVAL OF, THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY?
THAT IS WHAT, IS ACTIONABLE IN OVER 14 STATES NOW THAT ARE PROSECUTING THEM.
A VOTER RIGHTS AMENDMENT IS NEEDED.
NOT “JUST” FOR THE ABSENTEE BALLOTS OF WHICH 1/4 OF WHICH WE ARE NOW AWARE WERE NOT COUNTED.
AND NOT JUST FOR THE MILITARY! TIME TO END THE FUNDING FOR VOTER FRAUD!
SEND A BILL TO THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE FOR VOTER REFORM NOW!
HOLD ALL THESE "SERVANTS OF THEMSELVES" ACCOUNTABLE!
MORE STATES ARE COMING TO THEIR SENSES, AND REAFFIRMING THE TENTH AMENDMENT!
REMIND PALOSIE AND OBAMA, THAT "THE AMERICAN PEOPLE", THEY DO NOT WORK FOR THE FEDERAL GOV'T!
IT IS TIME TO CALL FOR THE RESIGNATION AND IMPEACHMENT OF THESE INDIVIDUALS IN OFFICE.
“IF” THEY HAVE ANY WRONGDOING, IE: "MALFEASANCE" IN OFFICE, THEY ARE ACCOUNTABLE!
THE FEDERAL GOV'T WORKS, FOR THE STATES! AND THE PEOPLE!
AND THAT THEY, ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE "PEOPLE!"
"NOT" THE OTHER WAY AROUND!
"WE THE PEOPLE" NEED TO TAKE BACK THE AUTHORITY, WE DELEGATE.
THERE WILL BE AN ACCOUNTING,AND THAT DAY WILL BE ELECTIONS, IN 2010, THEN AGAIN IN 2012.
TAKE HEART AND REMEMBER, YOUR VOTE, COUNTS, NO MATER WHAT ACORN, AND SEIU TRY TO DO.
THEY WILL "NOT" PREVAIL.
"WE THE PEOPLE" WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
WRITE AND PROTEST, AND PICKET OUTSIDE THEIR OFFICES, IN YOUR HOME STATE.
JUST LIKE THE TEA PARTIES, YOUR VOICE DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
I THINK THEY HEAR U.S. LOUD AND CLEAR!
NOW GET OUT THERE AND MAKE "YOU" YOUR VOICE LOUD AND PROUD TO BE AN "AMERICAN" WITH "AMERICAN VALUES"
AND KEEP YOUR INDIVIDUAL, RIGHTS AND DIGNITY INTACT!
ACT! NOW!
LIKE YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART, IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR CHILDREN, IF YOU WON'T STAND UP FOR THEM?
YOU ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE UN?
"HE11, NO! WE WON'T" GO! AND WE ARE STAYING THE COURSE!
IMPEACH THEM NOW!
THEN, PROSECUTE THEM TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, IN ALL FIFTY STATES!
TIME FOR “ALL” OF U.S. - TO TAKE A STAND!
CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMAN, AND STATES REPRESENTATIVE.
THEN, MAKE THE CASE FOR STATES RIGHTS AND VOTER REFORM, FOR THE SAKE OF THIS NATION!
TELL THE WANT TO CONTROL, GOV'T, "WE THE PEOPLE" HAVE CONTROL! AND IMPEACH THOSE;
WHO DO NOT FOLLOW THE LETTER AS WELL AS THE SPIRIT OF THE CONSTITUTION, AND OATH THEY SWORE TO UPHOLD!
THEN IMPEACH THOSE THAT PLAY FAST AND SHADY WITH THE "LETTER" OF THE LAW,
AND ENFORCE THE LAWS WE DO HAVE FOR ANTI-CORRUPTION, MALFEASANCE AND WRONGDOING OF OUR PUBLIC OFFICIALS!
THEN PROSECUTE THEM "ALL" IN "ALL" FIFTY STATE JURISDICTIONS!
AND LET THEM KNOW THAT "WE THE PEOPLE" ARE THE GOV'T THEY SHOULD FEAR!
NOT THE LAWYERS FOR ACLU!
AND BOUNCE OBAMA AND FRANK, PALOSIE, RIED, DODD, RANGEL AND THE REST OUT ON THEIR EAR AND REAR!
2010! NEVER AGAIN! 2012! WITH RESOLVE!
OUR, PROBLEM?
SOLVED!
MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA and MAY GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS in HARMS WAY!
