Chirac, Arafat and…

Filed Under War and Terrorism | Comments Off

So he’s back… the enemy that ordered the murder of over 3000 of our fellow citizens on September 11th, 2001… and the best he could manage is a video tape? Does anybody really believe that our Government hasn’t done a fine job keeping this madman and his henchmen at bay? Does anyone believe that, if given the opportunity, he would kill as many of us as he could? And does anyone really believe that John Kerry would do a better job? Or is it not a matter of doing better at all? I believe that the entire strength of the Kerry effort so far is that he has been able to convince a large part of the American public of the very thing they wish the most… that there is no terrorist threat, and that George Bush has distracted us with Iraq. Well if that is true, why is Osama making video threats instead of attacks? Why is he trying to influence the American voters to get rid of George Bush?

I guess this is just one more of those foreign leaders that have chosen to endorse John Kerry, and if I were him, I would not be pleased with this one! Because most American really do know that you’re either with us, or against us! So the real question is… which is it Senator?

Sorry, folks. I’ve had to disable the comments again. As good as my Blacklist software is (we’ve gone many months without too many problems), the current wave of spammers is cutting through it like a hot knife through butter – and the stuff they’re hitting us with is pretty grotesque-sounding stuff, too. I’ll have to upgrade in the next few days, so I’ll ask again for you to hit the tip jar.

The Return of Jim Crow

Filed Under Race and Prejudice | 1 Comment

Everything is going well with the President’s campaign – at least as well as can be expected in heavily-Republican southwest Florida when the frenetic last few days have arrived.

However, I wanted to take a moment after a long day of walking the precincts, and sit down to say a word about an ad that’s running on my local radio stations. “The Republicans don’t talk to us,” I recall it saying. “They don’t know our values. And they don’t want our votes.” It then goes on to encourage black voters to vote for Democrats.

Of course, the ad lies about all three of the items I paraphrased. (There were more, but these are the ones I remembered.) First of all, Republicans do want black votes. The problem is, elections cost money, and it’s very hard to convince Republicans to spend that money to make efforts in the black community when in all likelihood any effort made will be dismissed out of hand (effectively, too) by the DNC and their black liberal mafiosi. To put it more bluntly, it’s a waste of good time, effort, and campaign cash. History indicates nothing we say is going to make much of a difference at the polls.

One thing will cause Republicans to reconsider, and though it’s asking a lot, I’m going to tell you what that is. A few blacks will simply have to figure things out for themselves and vote Republican, even though they’ve been acculturated into believing we’re the embodiment of the anti-Christ. At that point, some Republicans (like myself) will be able to approach the party and show that there’s a chance to break the Democratic monopoly on the black vote, and beg that we make efforts to reach out.

On the other hand, Republicans should be careful how we tailor our messages, once given the chance. This gets back to the other two items I referred to above: Republicans already DO talk to the black community, and we DO speak to the values in the black community. In fact, on this last point, there ought to be no debate. Culturally, blacks are far more “conservative” than they or the Democrats give themselves credit for. But when the Republicans promise tax cuts for all Americans, we aren’t talking about white Americans alone – blacks pay taxes, too, and deserve to keep more of their own money. Blacks also deserve a stronger, free-market economy for their businesses and employees, a strong national defense, affordable health care, and most of all, better schools run by parents, not teacher’s unions.

But the Republicans don’t tailor their message specifically to the black community.

The Democrats and liberals always put the race-card spin on this: “They ain’t talking to US black folk. It would seem from the 90% of blacks who vote Democrat year in and year out, this is what the vast majority of the black community wants. They want a separate message telling them the same thing – an equal message – that’s being given to the white folks. They want to be given a separate but equal message from the whites.

Is this what Thurgood Marshall fought for in Brown? Is this what Dr. King was asking for when he sat in the Birmingham jail? Is this why Rosa Parks sat in the front of the bus, and the Little Rock Nine dared abuse to walk into desegrated Central High School?

We Republicans speak to the black community in the way we were taught by all these great Americans to speak to the black community: by speaking to all Americans with ONE message – which should always include all Americans, regardless of race, color, or creed. We talk to the black community by not speaking only to the black community. We talk to the black community when we don’t pretend to represent the black community separate from whites. Anything less is just Jim Crow all over again.

Apologies

Filed Under Internet and Blogging | 1 Comment

While I was busy with campaign business, we were apparently spammed to kingdom come in the comments. I’m in the process of clearing them out now, which isn’t much of a chore with the great blacklist software we use. Now if the list was only comprehensive enough to prevent them from commenting in the first place like it used to… I may have to disable comments on posts after a given time period, since they’re invariably hitting old posts.

While I hate to do that, there’s more than a moral objection involved: the version of MT we’re using won’t do that automatically, so I’ll have to manually, which will be a pain. I may have to bite the bullet and pay for an upgrade to the newer version of MT. There are ways you can help defray the costs, you know….

In any event, my apologies to anyone whose visit was spoiled by my inattentiveness.

Say it ain’t so Nanette? The Ghost of Babe Ruth has left the building! Yes, it did happen, 84 years after they traded away the Babe, the Red Sox finally win the World Series.

May we never hear the cursed word, “curse”, again.

Okay, so that didn’t happen, but hey, when you are John Kerry, why let the facts get in the way of your propaganda.

In another shameful example of the Democratic Party teaming with the liberal media to throw out a last minute election gotcha, the NY Times, C-BS News, and the Kerry campaign have concocted a non-story hoping to tarnish President Bush. Instapundit has the requisite details to understand just how phoney these unAmerican SOBs have become. Corruption of the Press continues, Jayson Blair, forged documents, and now this.

We are lucky to have the blogosphere for diseminating the truth, and exposing these selfish lying pricks!

Just one week

Blogging from me will now be sporatic at best for the next eight days. Having conveniently been told to take two weeks off from work, I’m now in the employ of the Republican National Committee, beginning with poll observation at one of the early voting stations tomorrow.

As the man says, find a way to help us out. The future of your country (and your children’s future) depends on this. I earnestly believe it. (hat tip: Ace)

Let’s win one more for the Gipper!

For those who can – vote early

Filed Under Lies, Corruption and Scandals, Politics | Comments Off

A fellow blogger gives us an example why you should vote early in those states where that’s possible.

I’ve already cast my ballot, so this won’t be happening to me. Are you certain YOUR vote will count? GO EARLY. And don’t just find a friend and get him to the polls – get him to the polls early. Heck, even if they won’t go until Election Day, get them there in the morning, so any problems like this happen to the cheaters trying at the last minute.

For those following the signs: it’s very possible it won’t be close – but we need YOU to make it happen. Remember Hugh Hewitt’s motto: They can’t cheat if it’s not close. And we can’t let it get close.

Honk, And Yell “FOUR MORE YEARS!”

Filed Under Politics | 4 Comments

I haven’t been the same since the debates; I can see right through Kerry, he is all rhetoric and appearance. No substance or plans. At least no plan beyond doing whatever he can do to fool the public right up to the election. It has been making me mad to know that he is so full of, it. And, his, it, is not good for our future. What his, it, is, is hard to explain; because he has not told us and every time he gets close to saying what, it, is, he contradicts himself and just tells us that he has, it, and we should expect to like his, it. It, is all too infuriating, to the point where I actually considered bumping a car sporting one of those snazzy Kerry bumper stickers the other day in protest. I resisted the urge, but I am not sure I feel good about my choice.

I was just telling this story to a friend with whom I instant mesage. His reply, “I honk at them, then I yell out the window FOUR MORE YEARS!”. I like his tactic. It is cheaper than collision repair, it actually makes a point; and, besides, I get all tingly just thinking about how mad it must make those liberal weenies when they have to imagine that their worst fear will come true. It really will.

FOUR MORE YEARS!

An Endorsement

Filed Under History | 2 Comments

If it weren’t for The Tick, I might have missed this. I saw something about him saying “America hit the Snooze Bar of Ignorance” and wondered, “What the hell is going on here…?”

The Truth Laid Bear is sponsoring a project today called Heroes For Bush, asking that bloggers “channel their favorite characters of TV, movies, and fiction showing their support for President Bush’s re-election.” Awesome idea, and a lot of fun so far.

While I’d love to participate simply for the fun of it, pulling someone from the pages of one of my favorite books, the fact is (while a rabid consumer of fantasy and sci-fi) I’ve always been more passionate about non-fiction. So lucky it was that I happened to take note of several “characters” participating who are decidedly not fictional, despite the initial parameters of the event. Some of these now include John Wayne, Winston Churchill, and George Washington.

One need not think either long or hard to imagine where I’ll be going with this….

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS

My fellow Americans, we are here to stand firmly for a principle – to stand firmly for a right. We know that great political and moral wrongs are done, and outrages committed, and we denounce those wrongs and outrages, although at present, we can also do much more. We desire to reach out beyond those personal outrages and establish a rule that will apply to all, and so prevent any future outrages.

We have seen today that within the Republican Party, every shade of popular opinion can be represented, with Freedom as the basis. We have come together as, in some sort, representatives of popular opinion against the reimposition of terrorism and slavery into territories now free – in fact as well as by law – and to honor the pledged word of the soldiers of the nation who are now no more.

We come – we are here assembled together – to protest as well as we can against a great wrong committed against this Nation by the purveyors of hate and propaganda, and to take measures, as well as we now can, to make that wrong right. We must place the Nation, as far as it may be possible now, as it was before the institution of socialism in America; and the plain way to do this is to restore sanity to the Republic domestically, and in foreign affairs to demand and determine that Iraq – and all the Middle East – shall be free!

To this end, I most heartily and humbly endorse the re-election of my successor as President and leader of the Republican Party, George W. Bush.

A. Lincoln
aka
The Black Republican

(This text, while modified significantly here, is amazingly applicable in its orginal form. It is taken from Lincoln’s speech delivered before the first Republican state convention of Illinois, held at Bloomington, on May 29, 1856.

Beantown Wins – Kerry Loses

Filed Under Entertainment and Sports | 5 Comments

Allah Is In The House and he’s talkin’ baseball. Well, okay, he’s Photoshopping baseball, but it’s pretty much the same thing with him. In any event, the ’shop is good, but I think it belies an underlying Truth.

John Kerry has fought valiantly in his attempt to confuse the American public. He has dodged several major problems with his campaign, and used an entire war against the President to more effect than I would have given him credit for one year ago.

But now it’s over. Or as they say in Paris: Fini.

I said last week that Bush would take the election 52-44-4, mainly because I was convinced some state in the Blue Belt would dramatically fall Bush’s way, completely eliminating John Kerry’s ability to win the Electoral College. The loss of that must-have Gore-2000 state would demoralize any Democrat who had not yet voted in the West and anything Democratic on the other side of the Mississippi would fall like a house of cards. A few will defect to Nader in protest, the rest simply won’t show up after it’s called. I thought perhaps the tipping point would be Pennsylvania, and I dreamed it might just be my beloved New Jersey. Now New Jersey is a lock for Bush, and New York is seriously in danger.

“Are you out of your friggin’ MIND?!”

No – I’m a New Yorker by birth, a New Jersian by upbringing, and a reluctant Floridian by divorce, and I’m homesick for Asbury Park funnel cake and greasy pizza from Brooklyn Italians. And I know my home states.

Tonight, the Boston Red Sox defeated John Kerry in seven games by injecting a renewed dose of enmity into Bronx Bombers throughout the New York metropolitan area. Yankee fans pray at a temple in the Bronx at least 162 times a year (usually, more often), and with a fervor never seen inside the Paulist Center of Boston. For them, politics and war pale in importance to the lineup and the pitching rotation. The economy is measured by how big Steinbrenner’s wallet is this year, and how much a hot dog and a beer cost at The House. When the Bombers don’t break 100 W’s, there are more tears than around an Arlington funeral cortege.

Tonight, there’s shock. Tomorrow, there’ll be hangovers. And after next week, after they are forced to hear the words “Boston Red Sox” and “World Series” in the same sentence over and over again for five to nine days straight, they’re going to be looking for someone’s blood. They’re going to look for blood from anyone wearing a a pair of sox on his chest, and they’re not going to worry about details, like if he’s a presidential candidate or what party he’s from. And two Tuesdays from now, they’re going to see this guy:

kerrysox.jpg

and they’re going to do whatever it takes to hurt him, and his family, his neighborhood, and his friends. And when they’ve done all that, they’re going to piss all over what’s left.

And the result will be FOUR MORE YEARS of W’s.
