WRESTLING WITH THE REPUBLICAN CONSCIENCE

In one of my past careers, I promoted professional wrestling matches in Eastern Missouri. What I found fascinating was the parallels between the heels (bad guys) and the Republican Party.

You see. The heel was always cheating and up to no good. They always won their matches by pulling hair, or hitting their opponent with a chair or some other skulduggery like perhaps a blatant political court decision.

One of the closest parallels is that of the wrestler that lost the crowd. He would perform a couple dirty moves like when a Republican is down in the polls. After a while he would realize he sucked and instead of just going down for a quick pinfall and leaving the ring, he would start shouting insults and saying ridiculous things in a vain attempt to reestablish himself as something of interest.

This is much what my right wing blogging friends and their leaders like Rush Limbaugh are doing now. They know their message is failing. They know they are traveling down the road to irrelevance. So they call us names and heap sad insults on those of us that have the interests of our Nation at heart. Not the interests of the just the rich and powerful.

Being kind and gentle, I don't tell the righties they are poor deluded fools to be mean. I tell them they are poor, deluded right wing fools because it's the truth. I don't want them, or anyone to end up broken, defeated and mentally crippled by an ideology of hate and fear.

EVEN CHENEY'S LIPS AREN'T TOO GOOD TO KISS LIMBAUGH'S ASS

Not even the lips of Dick Cheney are to powerful to keep them off the ample posterior of Rush Limbaugh. (Pictured at right)

Of course, considering the vast amount of horseshit that passed through Cheney's lips, (The insurgency is in it's last throes) it is appropriate that they are pressed against another shit producing mechanism.

Now being the kind and gentle guy that I am, I appreciate a nice ass as much as anyone. My taste in asses is just different from Cheney's. But I fully support his right to kiss any ass he wants , get married and serve in the military.

Apparently Cheney shares the same lust for huge asses as Michael Steele and many Republican Congressmen and Senators. But don't get jealous boys. Rush has enough ass for all of you.

EVERY DAY IS VETERANS DAY

I was going to do a SPEAK on torture today, but my Dad just sent me this email. I figured I would honor his 27 years in the United States Navy, as well as all other retired or actively serving in our Armed Forces by posting this instead. Thank you all for your visits and thanks to all who chose to serve in the Military.








The Aisle Seat





Two Radical Arab Terrorists boarded a flight out of London . One took a window seat and the other sat next to him in the middle seat... Just before takeoff, a U.S. Marine sat down in the aisle seat. After takeoff, the Marine kicked his shoes off, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, 'I need to get up and get a coke.' 'Don't get up,' said the Marine, 'I'm in the aisle seat, 'I'll get it for you.'
As soon as he left, one of the Arabs picked up the Marines shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned with the coke, the other Arab said, 'That looks good, I'd really like one, too.' Again, the Marine obligingly went to fetch it. While he was gone the other Arab picked up the Marines other shoe and spat in it. When the Marine returned, they all sat back and enjoyed the flight.
As the plane was landing, the Marine slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. He leaned over and asked his Arab neighbors... 'Why does it have to be this way?' 'How long must this go on? This fighting between our nations? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?'
THE FEW. THE PROUD.
THE MARINES

SUPREME COURT CALLS FOR A SUPREME LADY

Many of my conservative friends ask if me and my liberal friends feel somehow betrayed that after two years in the Senate, Barack Obama ran for President. What my conservative friends don't realize is that it was we who supported Barack Obama that told him to run for President.

I met then State Senator Obama at Clat Adams park in Quincy. I shook his hand after his electrifying speech. Asked him his position on gun owners rights. And told to run for president and we would all support him.

Two years later Senator Obama announced at the old State Capitol Building in Springfield, at the urging of so many like me, that he was running for President of the United States of America. For him not to have run would have been a disappointment to all of us that supported him.

Of all the decisions that have and will face President Obama throughout his term, few match the importance of selecting a Supreme Court Justice. President Obama, like myself, is widely respected for kindness. And he will kindly vet and interview many prospects. None will measure up to stature, toughness tempered with kind and gentleness, and dedication to our Nation and it's principles better than Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Thank you for visiting. Your comments are welcome friends...

VAST RIGHT WING BLOGGER CONSPIRACY?

A troubling pattern has emerged at the sites I visit. It seems many conservative leaning bloggers leave a comment on a liberal leaning site. Then a short time later the conservative leaning blogger removes it.

It would be unkind to think, or Heaven forbid, accuse my conservative friends of conspiring to not visit and comment on liberal blogs. I would never think that a conservative who posted a comment on my kind and gentle site, or one of my liberal friends sites would receive an email or other communication telling him or her to remove it.

In fact my friends, I would not even entertain the thought that a fellow blogger on the conservative side would do a post on an issue posted at a liberal site, only to take it down after the liberal blogger saw it and left a comment.

Friends, we all want the same things. Good sex. Nice pair of shoes. Warm place to go to the bathroom. The path to this Utopia is paved with good manners.

Thank you for your visit...

A KINDER, GENTLER BLOGGER NATION

Dear Friends:

Just as our 41st President, George HW Bush, called for a kinder, gentler nation, we must live up to that goal and strive towards a kinder, gentler blogger nation.

Thank you all for visiting.

LOYALTY AND RESPECT WORKS BOTH WAYS.

As I watch the Chrysler bankruptcy unfold it brings back a memory from 1991 that irritates me to this day.

I used to sell Chryslers at a local dealership at that time. One day we went to the plant in Hazelwood Mo. for a tour and unveiling of the new minivan.

What I remember most from that day was the employee parking lot. For every one Chrysler built car there were at least five of other brands.

Even back then I was a staunch Union supporter and dyed in the wool Democrat but I still questioned the tour guide as to why five out of six employee driver cars weren't Chryslers. The other salespeople on the tour agreed that my question was valid. Particularly since employees of the big three auto manufacturers got real sweet deals.

The tour guide must have heard this before because he said maybe they get them used or something and they can drive whatever they want. Union supporter. Workers rights supporter or not. What the employees that chose to drive brands other than the company that was paying their salaries and benefits was bullshit.

I'll put my credentials as a Union man up against anyone. But just as I believe employers owe employees a fair wage and respect, I believe employees do owe loyalty and commitment to the employer also.

When the Chrysler plants open back up and the employees get out of their cars, the ones getting out of cars that aren't Chryslers need to be told to get back in them. Go to the manufacturer that built their car, and ask it for a job. Because they most certainly do not deserve to be treated with the dignity and respect they think they deserve when they can't even show the company that is fighting to survive enough respect and loyalty to buy the product they gladly take a paycheck to build.
