Pastor James David Manning has a message for White America: "stop walking on eggshells and knock that chip off some Black people's shoulders"

All I can say is a hearty AMEN !, now let the charges of Racism begin.

The late great Acidman used to say that there were three kinds of bloggers:Thinkers, Linkers, and Stinkers. He was a Thinker. I really miss the man, the blogworld lost one of the truly great ones when he passed. I just hope he was proved wrong about his views of there not being an afterlife and he's looking down on us with great amusement as we fumble our way through this thing called life.

Lately I've been more of a ([REALLY]Stinking) Linker than anything. Just don't have the energy to really get into a serious rant. Nothing seems to really catch my fancy enough to raise any ire other than the pure IDIOCY that is Barrack "Hopey McChange" Obama's campaign. Even there, the only thing that really gets to me is: how the F**K ANYBODY can take this candidate with any seriousness whatsoever.

NEVER have we had anyone LESS qualified to even think of RUNNING for POTUS, much less being the nominee for one of the two major Parties.
Can anyone supporting him please try to explain it to me?

Tell me WHY you support BHO; WHAT are his stands on the issues? He states that he will Change our way of life, but he never says HOW he will accomplish those changes and, indeed, just WHAT those changes will be . He says he represents a "New HOPE"...but just WHAT in his past achievements can he point to to demonstrate that he can deliver on such an ephemeral promise? Just ONE thing. Name ONE bill he has sponsored, or even just co-sponsored, that has helped anyone. Name one position that he hasn't changed with the varying necessities of campaign needs.

In my mind Barrack Obama is nothing less than the consummate Politician with every negative connotation of that title and none of the possible (though admittedly rare) positive ones. An empty suit of promises, coupled with a dangerous naivete of REAL world Politics equaling the most dangerous combination that (possibly will) ever sit in the Oval Office.

John McVain isn't that much better in some respects, except that he DOES have real world experience, even if he sometimes seems to act as if he doesn't care about what is real and goes with his Fweelings more that you'd think a person of such experience(s) would. But at least he is somewhat more realistic on what may or not may be accomplished.

What is one to do when presented with the choice of BAD and WORSE? Rewarding Bad with election only encourages more of the same; electing WORSE may just mean the end of our Republic as we know it. I know that sounds rather melodramatic, but I believe it to be a real danger. The attitude that "it can't happen here" leads directly to it ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

There was another historical would-be leader that promised Change and a New Hope for the Electorate; who promised cradle to grave Health Care provided by the State. He promised the best new Infrastructure in Europe. He promised a new sense of dignity for the Country. He promised new jobs for thousands of people. UNLIKE Hopey, he made SPECIFIC promises on EXACTLY what he would do, once he gained the reins of power.

He DID everything that he had promised to do, and more:

1)He created the first truly great system of roads ever seen since the Roman era.

2)He pulled an economy out of a 500+% inflation rate in less than five years.

3)He unified a defeated people into a single minded State that was effective in working towards it's goals, both Internally and in (at least initially) the International Arena.

Here is a picture of this paragon of Hope and Change:

Do we REALLY want to follow his example? Many people warned of the danger that he represented and were told "such things can't happen here; we're too civilized" History proved those people against him correct....it only took 5+ years of World War, with 52+ million people dead and the destruction of the social fabric of the world to provide that proof.

With current weapons technology, we can't experience such an event again and survive as a species.

ALLWAYS keep in mind, it CAN happen here; it requires constant vigilance to ensure that it DOESN'T. To think that it CAN'T is the first step towards sinking back into that evil morass yet again.

It's an old joke, nevertheless, still TRUE:

A lot of folks can't understand how we came
to have an oil shortage here in our country.
~~~
Well, there's a very simple answer.
~~~
Nobody bothered to check the oil.
~~~
We just didn't know we were getting low.
~~~
The reason for that is purely geographical.
~~~
Our OIL is located in
~~~
ALASKA
~~~
California
~~~
Coastal Florida
~~~
Coastal Louisiana
~~~
Kansas
~~~
Oklahoma

Pennsylvania
and

Cardiac medicines combined with dry martinis , and with Ambian thrown in for that touch of serene calm leads to interesting typing, if nothing else. It's taken me twenty minutes to get this far.....

I have to take the Goracle on as the moron he is; do as I say, not as I DO...he expends 20 times the 'normaL' use of electricity of the averaqge home in his mansion...gets called on it and adds a number of "Green" additions, solar cells, water recovery, etc, and whart happens? He increased his overall POWER USAGE.

AL, give it up; your CARBON OFFFSET IDIOCY IS EXPOSED FOR THE SCAM THAT IT IS. You are only not of any furthur relevence, you are treading on blatent illegality. GIVE IT UP. go into that well deserved obscurity that you merit.

I'm not as drunk as I think you am; everything is crystal clear to me.

WE ARE LOSING THE SOUL OF OUR NATION WITH EVERY PASSING Day.

Hopey McChangetude blathers on AND on and never gives any solid examples ON >71 Year Old Marine in Unfair Fight Last week police were called to investigate an attempted armed robbery:

The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, FL, Sub shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former helicopter pilot for two presidents. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he works out everyday.
Mr. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night.

According to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into the Subway at 1949 N. Pine Rd. Just after 11 p. M. There was a lone diner, Mr.
Lovell, who was finishing his meal. After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove Mr. Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well.
They got his money, but then Mr. Lovell pulled his handgun, opened fire.
He shot one of the thieves in the head and chest and the other in the head.
When police arrived, they found one of the men in the shop. K-9 units found the other in the bushes of a nearby business. They also found cash strewn around the front of the sandwich shop according to Detective Robert Rettig of the Plantation Police Department.

Both men were taken to Broward General Medical Center , where one, Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale died. The other, 21-year-old Frederick Gadson of Fort Lauderdale is in critical but stable condition.
A longtime friend of Lovell, was not surprised to hear what happened The friend said, ''He'd give you the shirt off his back, but he'd be mad as hell if someone tried to take the shirt off your back''.

Mr. Lovell was a pilot in the Marine Corps, flying former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He later worked as a pilot for Pan Am and Delta. He is not expected to be charged, authorities said ''He was in fear for his life,'' Detective Rettig said, 'These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70's have military backgrounds and aren't intimidated by idiots'.
Something tells me this old Marine wasn't 'in fear for his life', even though his life was definitely at risk. The only thing he could be charged with is participating in an unfair fight. One 71 - year young Marine against two punks.

Two head shots and one center - body- mass shot - outstanding shooting!
That'll teach them not to get between a Marine and his meal.
Don't you just love a story with a happy ending?

( Florida law allows law abiding citizens to carry a concealed weapon.)
SMART STATE!!!

flexeral and Diovan don't mix too well trogether, they constantly bicker about which of them incapacitates an operator. Upshot of it is, the "good day" I was experiencing earlier has totally TANKED' Trying to get the last of our goods out of the old Ex-wifes' extra room was truly, as the Chinese would say, an "interesting" and "stressfull situation".

So now I'm trying to make a post predicated on the fact that I will make a glorious and incredibably salient point that will make all the combatants stop and go "mmmm", and beging to see the error of their ways and all go get a Coke together as they sing Kum-BA-YA in the glades that will now be filling with Golden-horn Unicorns and massive numbers of Monarch butturflies; flyng amongst the everpresent rainbows glowing in the atmosphere.

Hell with it, pass the Rot-gut gin and extra dry vermouth and pimento olives and we'll sling some martinies together to make the night more palatable to continue to operate in.

The purpose of a good rant is to relieve some stress ,while, just possibly, educating and/or entertaining others as the same time you are exorcizing whatever demons happen to be plaguing worst at that pointg of time.

One PROBLEM...I have forgotten WHO the Combatants are/were, What is the exact issue in Contention between the Combatants are, and my keyboard is running over in pink marshmallow and toasted coconut shreds.

At least it's a tasty ending, even if I'll pay for it with ultra-high glucose readings in the morning...So pass those Martini's over here and lets subside into the depths of a hazy alcohol haze.

Excuse me for now,I believe I will begin my first hand study on my forthcoming micrograpth to be titled : "The study of Flexeril, ethenaol , and ambien combinations upon the human art perception systems in the middle-aged Caucasion Male with type 2 Diabetes and multiple Heart repairs in the past."
OR "SFEAC/MCwTP2D&MHD", for short, coming to a Borders near you...Unless the Neocons block the work as publishment for telling the truth .

Excuse me, that nice young man in the clean white coat has asked to engage me in some reparte; no don't to comprehend the genious that they think they

Whatever your faith (OR LACK THEREOF), it's always a good idea to sometimes just take a little time and contemplate the events that have occurred over the last week. I believe that this music truly lends itself to such an activity, I hope you take the time to just sit quietly with your eyes closed let the music flow over you as you ponder life and any other mundane things. May this selection bring you a sense of peace and serenity as it did for me.
