So much to talk about ... must find laughter

I realize that if you formed a perception of me based solely on the content of this blog, your impression of me would be that of a salty, approaching middle age, stereotypical curmudgeon type, frowning around town clown, pissed off all the time type of person. For those who know me personally, that perception would be only partially true ;~]

Intense? ... OK, a little bit at times. Incredulous? ... sure, why not. Someone who enjoys laughter? ... absolutely, yes. Diplomatic? ... yes, and hope to be more so every day. Appreciative? ... never enough. Artful? ... a dilettante can dream! Respectful of others (even those I disagree with)? ... I keep trying. I think I am improving. How can these qualities be seen as hateful? I am expressing my political free speech. That is all! You, oh president, stand on your elitism and call this extremism.

But don't forget that I'm just a restaurant rat! I haven't been properly schooled in elitism. I am barely beyond the level of "aristocrat of the working class," (to quote a movie line). Enlightened thinker? ... oh, I hope so. In truth, I am an every day man with concern for the future? ... hello, yeah ... duh. Oh, you are too? I thought so. I am presenting  a distillation of a common American emotion that is now permeating this country. We are the lovers of America ... lovers of freedom ... respectful of the wisdom of the founding fathers ... in awe of their amazing plan for government restraint. I ask you, HOW COULD THIS BE CONSTRUED AS HATE? Of course, it cannot be! But it is and it will be. It's time to march to the ballot box and demand a receipt!

I understand that this "Rip on Obama" blog I author breaches the levies of political correctness. The Left sees this as sedition, hate speech, or cleverly cloaked racism. None of these are true. Idiot Alert! ... I'm about to use a metaphor. We exist in a splintered media market machine whose audience has been lulled into believing that the opinions transmitted to them through various sources about the nature of the "Cuckoo Clock" (the nature of dissent) are, in fact, all true. According to them, you should NOT listen for yourself to the Cuckoo Clock making the noise, you should listen to what other people say about the nature of the Cuckoo Clock, the workings of its mechanism, and the quality or discord of its sound. These opinions, which are disguised as facts, are spouted out by deceptive media badge toting onlookers. Such is the collusion of the lamestream media. Keep repeating the same lie over and over and people start to believe it as fact. This is the mantra of the Left ... it always has been.

The Leftist Opinion Spinners are the real haters. These haters are the people in the media who are spinning lies about the nature of Tea Party members (quasi or otherwise) the Tea Party movement in general ... The real haters are the folks that are ripping on the Glenn Becks, Sean Hannitys, Billy Cunninghams, Michael Savages, and Rush Limbaughs of the world. "Right on media punks!" These so-called spewers of hate are just broken Cuckoo Clocks. We're the media. We'll tell you all about the funny, weird, and dangerous sounds these clocks have been making."

I am presently reading "The Manchurian President." Here we go again with those darn facts, and records, and writings, and transcripts, and documented associations, and layers of secrecy ... and I'm barely fifty pages in!.... It's a book we should all read.

Mike Myers for Supreme Court Judge!

Might as well ... same amount of experience as a judge.

Kagan is yet another Chicago connected, radical leftist, that used to work for Goldman Sachs, as another facet of the Obama scheme. This person solicits the court on behalf of the federal government. This is a person who argues in favor of a more powerful government on behalf of the federal government. One more notch on Obama's political bedpost. It appears that only a Republican rout in November can save the Republic itself.

I am NOT ... I repeat NOT anti-government. I am pro government as our government was founded ... limited by the constitution, it's responsibilities clearly defined. This has led to the greatest prosperity the world has ever known. It is so for the very fact that the government was limited ... NOT THE PEOPLE! The difference maker is freedom. Why would we want to follow Greece down the path of self-annihilation? They went from the dialectic to the dependency. Sad! Now it's just chaos there.

Obama the Tinman needs oil // Obama the Tinhorn needs a foil

Words are being twisted by this administration. That goof, Whitehouse spokesman Robert Gibbs, says that ex FEMA director Michael Brown accused the Obama administration of purposely setting off the oil spill. Brown never said that. He did say that the administration was playing politics with the event. That I totally agree with. The heartless ideologue at the top would in fact purposely slow the response to the disaster for political purposes. All in the name of environmentalism! HAH!

Come on States: Toughen Your Certification Process for President

Arizona has toughened it's stance on certification. More states need to model this law. If Obama can be kept off the ballot, in several to many states,  a constitutional crisis can be set up for 2012. If Obama can be proven a usurper by the states, then every piece of legislation or treaty he has ever signed can be deemed null and void! We can literally rewind the clock and preserve the Republic!

More evidence?  "Home Country" addendum

Nice to Meet You Mr. Corrigan

Well I was planted by the walkway at Albion middle school, sitting in the warm Spring sun, with a book in my hand and a brand new lawn chair. Around 6:00 PM a van pulled in. On the side of the vehicle was a "Corrigan for Congress" magnetic sign. Naturally I waved since I was clutching "Corrigan for Congress" fliers in my other hand. I figured it was one of the campaign staff checking the sites.  But what do you know ... it was Mr. Corrigan himself along with  his nephew. It was a pleasure to meet the man I was supporting. Having exchanged salutations, I held up the book I was reading and pointed to the title. I said, "This is what I'm looking for." The book was titled "Authentic Leadership." Mr Corrigan said he was familiar with the author. He noted that he had experienced a lecture by the author during his years at Harvard. So we were off to a good start.

I talked to him about a woman I met as she made her way to vote. I made the case for dumping Dennis this November. As she made her way out, after voting, we had a good conversation about the state of affairs. She indicated that she worked for NASA. She basically indicated that there were several thousand employees at NASA Lewis Research Center that had absolutely no work to do. They were all pretty much a bunch of six figure employees sitting around collecting a pay check. She also noted that in Florida 7000 contractors, who were providing services and technology for NASA, were let go of their contracts. She seemed very disappointed about what was happening at NASA, but refused to apply any of the blame to Obama. She wanted to play the "blame Bush" game. She was an African-American woman; I took the opportunity to let her know that I thought it was reprehensible to demonize the Tea Party folks, labeling them racists for disagreeing with the policies of the Obama. I noted that I thought Bush over spent and got away from the core values of the political party he represented. In this way, Bush and Obama could both have statist tendencies. This seemed to placate her a bit. She agreed that it was time for Dennis to go.

Mr. Corrigan and I had a good conversation about how Obama is destroying one of the great institutions of scientific incubation (NASA). We touched on immigration and fiscal conservatism. He then invited me to the after party downtown.

Due to a family obligation, I was unable to attend the after party for Mr. Corrigan. But I look forward to working diligently over the next several months to get Mr. Corrigan to Washington and to finally dump Dennis! It's an uphill battle here in northern Ohio. But it can be done!
