It's 09/09/09, Whew! So much to say about politics. It's getting hotter and hotter. Can't wait to see and hear what Glen Beck is going to disclose this week. Breitbart has connected the dots of what we all knew: Obama and his cronies are anti-American, globalist, anti-Christian, racist black nationalist, radical communist sympathizers out to destroy our freedoms, our economy, our American way of life. The proof is now out there. Van Jones, Frank Marshall Davis, Jeremiah Wright, Valerie Jerrit, Michelle Obama, Mark Lloyd, Bill Ayers, Rahm Emmanuel, Eric Holder ... Can't wait to see what the MSM will not do about it.

Thought this was cute and worth sharing. It comes from Kevin Jackson of St. Louis and blogger at blacksphere.blogspot.com:

AstroTurf Mobster

I grew up with a very ethnic surname - you know the kind of name always used for the Mafia hit man in the movies. So I am used to being suspected of being a relative of some "godfather." But now the U.S. Government has declared that I am a member of a MOB! And I have AstroTurf growing under my feet! And my clothes are from Brooks Brothers!

Lord Almighty, is this what the American voters wanted when they voted for Hope and Change? An outright assault on the citizenry? The same citizenry that goes to work every day (well not so much anymore), starts the small businesses that employ other Americans, and provides the revenue to fuel the economy? The people who bought houses that they could afford and paid their mortgages. The people who attend church on Sunday and contribute to charities. People who believe that compassion is to be nurtured but personal responsibility is to be revered.

I attended Tea Parties this year, on April 15th and July 4th, and I saw the wonder of a real grass roots movement of everyday Americans: elderly folks, families with kids, college kids, middle age couples, all who carried flags and home made signs of protest for a government out of control and spending money that does not exist, taking over private corporations and destroying free markets, ignoring the will of the People. A government that now wants to determine who gets medical care and who does not, and which will mandate counseling the elderly about how to die prematurely just to save Uncle Sam a few bucks. Never mind what they and their family want.

The most recent outrage instituted by the Obama administration is the call to snitch on fellow Americans. From the White House website:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there,
spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors
often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual
conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House,
we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web
about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

Bloggers are promoting a mass effort called Operation Go Flag Yourself encouraging readers and other bloggers to turn themselves in to the White House. What fun, let's all do it!

The Politico (August 5, 2009) quotes Democrat strategist and former Clintonista, Lanny Davis as saying:

Let’s have the media name names, publish photographs, and do interviews of those
responsible for approving, even organizing these techni[q]ues. And let’s find an
investigative journalist - are there many left - to prove these so-called
grassroots shouters are, or are not, being paid.

So now we have an outright governmental assault on the grass roots movement of individuals who found each other and formed alliances thanks to the Internet and alternate media. But more important, we found each other because we are like-minded and we love our country and our freedoms and we want them back.

This assault on tea party and health plan protestors, stating that we are paid pawns of the Republicans or the insurance industry, is absurd. I would love to be paid for my efforts protesting this tyranny because self-employment is no longer providing a living. So if you folks in the government know who is paying tea party protestors please let me know cuz I need a paying job. And I never bought clothes from Brooks Brothers, right now Wal-Mart is all I can afford - that is until your labor union friends and their allies in Congress destroy it too. Then all those folks who would not otherwise be able to get a real job and folks who shop Wal-Mart because it is an affordable option for goods and services will have nowhere to go. But that is what you want isn't it Mr. Obama? Total dependence of "the masses" on government, the basis for a "benign dictatorship" of the (so-called) intelligentsia.

Rush Limbaugh sent a message on his August 5th show to the head honcho, formerly known as the community organizer:
A Community Organizer Can't Bitch When Communities Organize

A government that has forgotten that it is of the people, by the people, for the people will perish from this earth.

This is an example of the typical astroturf mobster

Dynastic Delusions

Russ Carnahan is the U.S. Representative of Missouri's Third District serving since January 2005. His district includes parts of St. Louis City and St. Louis Counties and all of Jefferson and Ste. Genevieve Counties. Russ and his wife, Debra, are lawyers formerly in private practice together and Debra now is a St. Louis municipal judge. Russ is the son of the late Democrat governor of Missouri, Mel Carnahan, and non-elected/appointed former U.S. Senator and former First Lady, Jean Carnahan. Russ's grandfather, A.S.J. Carnahan, was a member of Congress from Missouri as well, and Russ's sister, Robin Carnahan is the current Missouri Secretary of State and presumed Democrat candidate for the soon to be vacated U.S. Senate seat of Christopher "Kit" Bond.

Russ distinguished himself lately for meeting on July 20th with his constituents in the St. Louis area pushing Obamacare and well, frankly, making a fool of himself earning national coverage and ridicule.




Russ seems to be just one more liberal lawyer/politician who operates from the underlying assumption that all Americans are created stupid. Unfortunately for Russ, the apparent uninformed brain frozen robot spouting drivel looks to be Russ Carnahan himself.

Political dynasties seem to breed defective issue - just ask the millions afflicted with Bush Derangement Syndrome. Upon close inspection, the Carnahans offer little in American ingenuity and intellect let alone responsive respect for the people they serve. Isn't it time to end one more American dynasty and let the Carnahans figure out how to be productive members of society rather than empty-headed twits trading on the public persona of their predecessors?

Is It Clear Yet Claire?

Claire McCaskill, Missouri's junior Senator, Democrat and Obama supporter held a town hall meeting at Forest Park Community College in St. Louis on Monday, July 27th. Ms. McCaskill was not in attendance but rather sent staffers to speak for her. It was reported that the plan was to populate the meeting with supporters of McCaskill and Obamacare from followers of the far left blog, The Daily Kos. Apparently, McCaskill and her staff intended to show the public that the American people support yet another power grab by Obama and his minions and are solidly behind the government take over of our health care in the U.S. and one more massive rejection of our basic inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Here's what happened:

First, staffer Michelle Sherrod asked the audience to express their opinion on Obamacare.





Then a soldier stood up and gave the Dem staffer and her boss, McCaskill, a little lesson in governance.





On July 17th, a handful of middle aged tea party protestors in St. Louis visited Claire's office to talk to her or her staff regarding their concerns about her support of Obamacare. They reported that the staff locked the doors, pulled down the blinds, and a male occupant flashed them the "bird" with both hands, then someone inside called the police and said they were being threatened by these folks. Judge for yourself:




When questioned, Claire blamed the "finger pointing" on her neighbors...

Poor Claire, she is so ambitious for herself, maybe she just hitched herself to a falling star and forgot the constituents she is obligated to serve.
