Perfect It Aint

As the title indicates, perfect it aint. I'll rant and rave, maybe even curse once in a while. You are welcome to join me with your comments. At worst I'll just tear out the rest of my hair. At best, I may agree with you. Or maybe I'll just ignore it, because you know, perfect it aint!

Just a Word of Warning

This is an election year.

I am a deep, dyed-in-the-wool conservative when it comes to finances and political leanings, but a relative conservative when it comes to social programs.

Sometimes almost a liberal on some social programs, even.

I know. 

It is difficult to reconcile these views.

But I don't try to reconcile them.

I am not ever to be found guilty of political correctness.

I intentionally harm noone.

But the fallout can sting.

Be warned.

This is not an easy blog to swallow if you have leftist leanings.

If you are an 'occupier' by nature, you are gonna get pissed off.

I do not restrict any replies to this blog.  Say what you will.  It will be published   ---   unless I think it may harm some innocent persons.

And I am the boss on this blog.  

And there will be no religious activity here, unless it is me who leads the discussion.

And my current best candidate for president is Bill the Cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Squt II

Now I realize just why I seldom if ever post anymore - I am getting to be an old man and do not really have the spare time to wait fifteen minutes for this  to load every time I feel like posting.  It is a heckuva lot easier to just grin and bear it.  Like all those servicemen who were asked to shoulder their own insurance costs for service -related ailments a while back.  What do you mean, you don't remember all that hoopla?  Jeez, you musta just crawled out from under a rock.

Well, anyway, to refresh your memory, our revered leader (pardon me while I puke!!), was called to task because he felt, justifiably so to himself I guess, that if you volunteered, you volunteered all the way.  When chastised for his outrageous view, here is his defense - as NBC is wont to say, "In his own words..."

"Look, it's an all volunteer force," Obama complained.  "Nobody made these guys go to war.  They had to have known and accepted the risks.  Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?  It doesn't compute..."  "I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country, " Obama continued.  I wasn't asking for blood, just money.  With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history I'd have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help  reduce the nation's deficit...I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans."

You know, if every American would keep nothing in mind except the above when they step into that polling booth in November, America would have such a rejuvenation of patriotism and right thinking that the Democrat Party would be a thing of the far distant past forever.  Even hard-core liberals would shrink away from such utter idiocy as the man shouts.

But, unfortunately, only about five, maybe ten percent of the American people have even heard this diatribe, as the lame-stream media sure as heck did not publicize it.  I saw and heard it on Fox, but was unable to get it down in writing at the time.  I am indebted to another source which is unaffiliated with any media for the actual verbiage.

NOBODY MADE THESE GUYS GO TO WAR.    False.
 Nobody made these guys volunteer for the armed services, but the line and staff of the military services DID make them go to war.  Sure, they knew and accepted the risks, because they were patriots and because they recruiting staff did such a great sales job on them, why they actually promised them that the Veterans Administration and the Federal Government WOULD take care of any medical and rehabilitation bills they might encounter as a result of their sacrifices.

NOW THEY WHINE, etc.    False
That is not a whine, you silly goose, that is the growing anger of a group of patriots and their compadres in civvies who have just about had enough of you and your idiocy.  Good God, Obama, even a kid knows how wrong you are to try to stick the very patriots who went to war for this country with the total costs of their own medical and rehabilitation expenses, especially after being promised that the national government would do so.

I WASN'T ASKING FOR BLOOD...    False
Yes, you were.  For money is the very lifeblood that keeps this country, and by extension, all its citizens healthy.  When you ask for money. you are asking for the butter on the jam on the jelly on the peanut butter on the toast that sustains the American economy.  You know, for a street organizer, you just aint got too many smarts, here, Obama.

I GUESS I UNDERESTIMATED...    Yeah
You did.  But the selfishness is not with your fellow Americans, it is with you.  I know, Jeremiah Wright told you different.  But he was wrong.  Just as you are wrong on so many things.  Indeed, I haven't forund one single thing that you have been right about since you first popped on the scene.

Look, Obama may be a great Dad, a good husband, an all-round good fellow, BUT, he is also the worst walking disaster that the USA has ever known, at least among all those that I have had any current knowledge of (read that as while I have been alive.)  Great God Almighty, FDR was bad, Carter was worse, and Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton were no great shakes, but this, this, this, poseur of as President is going to take the whole darned country to Hell with him, unless the American people do wake up and carry such diatribes as that posted above with them, discuss such idiotic ravings, understand what it means to the American public as a whole. 

Remember that the president represents you in all foreign countries as well as here at home.  Are you proud of America as it is today?  Can you project four more years of this dedication to American destruction?  Could you actually go into the voting booth and vote for him?

I am only one who is pissed off.  Wonder how many more agree?
