An Ol' Broad's Ramblings

ABO 2012
This is going to be another extremely long day. I typically don’t do much on Sundays, other than go to church, and maybe nap, but since I’m not at home, and didn’t make it to church (lack of appropriate attire is one reason….don’t think they’d appreciate me showing up in baggie sweats and an NRA ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ t-shirt), I was put to work. Cleaning. UGH! Actually, I put myself to work, but some things needed to be done, so we did them. We’re all pretty amazed at the results. 
I won’t go into the reasons things had to be done, but suffice it to say, it was a priority.
Anyway, I am slurping coffee, attempting to get at least one eye open, and going through emails. I got a link to something I found quite interesting, and pretty much agree with it, with one exception….I don’t think voting for Ron Paul is a good idea. Other than that….I have to say that yes, our lame stream media is nothing more than a government run propaganda machine, in the same vein that the media of Nazi Germany was, or the state run media in Venezuela.
A snippet:
The elites are masters of propaganda. They have at their beck and call an army of “journalists” who never stray from the official state line for fear of being ostracized. They eagerly and happily spread lies and half-truths in order to gain and then keep their seats near the halls of power. Those who stray from the party line (Helen Thomas) are harshly dealt with.
They have learned that the more lies they tell, the more lies we believe. And the more lies we believe, the more dependent we become. Conversely, the fewer myths, lies and deceptions we succumb to, the less dependent — and, therefore, the freer — we are.
If you watch the news, read the papers, either print or online, no doubt you’ve notice a serious deterioration in the quality of the ‘news’. Instead of all the facts, we get slant, from all the outlets. The majority, however, slant so far to the left with their propaganda, it’s difficult to know what real anymore. The lack of reporting is just as bad as flat out lying. Those who actually pay attention have seen a great many omissions in what most would consider vital information pertaining to the story that’s being ‘reported’. But since it doesn’t fit into their agenda, and that of the current administration, it gets left out, or the spin is so blatant, you get dizzy just hearing it….kind of like going a few rounds in a dryer. 
Just one example of the media ‘in the tank’ for the administration would be the recent WaPo column by a total Obama suck up. *shakes head*
When confronted with a challenge to the established belief system, the mind closes off. When this happens, the individual employs avoidance behavior, writes off the new knowledge as conspiracy theory and labels it as kooky, insane or stupid. The information is then dismissed, never to be considered again, even when the facts support the new knowledge.
The esoteric purpose of propaganda is to extract wealth and labor illegally as concealed involuntary servitude. The people who use propaganda to persuade the populace against their best interests create myths and sell them as benefits.
Have you ever had, what started out as, what you THOUGHT was a rational conversation with a liberal? Within minutes, confronted with the truth, the majority will totally become unhinged. Recent videos of the OWS crowd proves that point with no need for explanation. You can find them anywhere on the net, unless, of course, some underhandedness has occurred, which you KNOW it does! YouTube is notorious for pulling videos , especially when the rabid leftist complain. Let a conservative say that something is highly offensive, and you get either silence, or ‘it’s protected by the 1st Amendment. Funny how that works, eh? Google apparently is another arm of the socialist movement known as the Democrat Party, with the head, Obama/Washerwoman-Schultz, pulling the strings. Or would that be George Soros? Uh oh! A conspiracy theory. tsk tsk tsk
So, anyway, the column has a list of lies, covering a variety of topics, from The War on Terror to The economy is improving. One topic of interest is There is a difference between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. In today’s parties, some might agree. In a way, I do as well. All we have to do is look at the candidate we were stuck with in 2008, and to a degree, who THEY have decided our candidate is this time around. I know of very few people who actually supported either one. The elites at the top are actually quite similar, however, us rank and file out here in the REAL world, are quite different from each other. The majority of us stand on principle. The head honchos blow with the wind. Quite disturbing actually, which is why the Tea Party is so vital to all upcoming elections. No, we are NOT fading away. We are still out here, doing our best to not only take our country back, but the party of Reagan as well. The reason you don’t see us out there, like you you do the OWS types, is because the majority on our side either work, or have family obligations which prevents us from traveling distances, not to mention, we don’t get financial support from ANY organizations to bus us in for rallies. We foot our own bills, and unlike the unionistas who get bused (and in most cases, paid) in to protest something or other, of people who are just handed a sign, and paid to carry it for the cameras.
The one item I have an issue with is A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama. Actually, it is. I think Ron Paul is a smart cookie….when it comes to domestic issues. However, his foreign policy has turned off a large number of people, including me. We stand by our allies, not throw them to the wolves, as the Obama administration has. I think he’d make an excellent Secretary of Treasury though.
So, no, I do not believe “A vote for either Mitt Romney or Obama is a vote for continued and reinforced fascism.“ We can’t do this in just one election cycle, and we have to start somewhere. Getting Obama out of office, and in turn, removing all those freakin’ czars, reversing the numerous ‘executive orders’ that ‘go around Congress’, and getting a majority in both the House and the Senate is just the first step to restoring our Constitutional Republic.
Un-elect The Marxist
Santorum endorses Romney for president
Rick Santorum endorsed presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney in an email to supporters sent late Monday night.
The one-time Republican presidential hopeful and former Pennsylvania senator said “the primary campaign certainly made it clear that Gov. Romney and I have some differences. But there are many significant areas in which we agree.”
“We both agree that President Obama must be defeated. The task will not be easy. It will require all hands on deck if our nominee is to be victorious. Governor Romney will be that nominee and he has my endorsement and support to win this the most critical election of our lifetime,” said Santorum.
While his backing could shore up Romney’s position with the GOP’s conservative base, some could view it as a lukewarm endorsement of the party’s eventual nominee.
When it comes right down to it, this isn’t about Obama or Romney. This election is about the very survival of the United States. Was Romney my choice? That would be a big fat NO! Will I vote for him in November? Damn skippy I will! Why? Because we will not survive another four years of socialist/marxist rule!
You folks who have decided you won’t vote for Romney because he doesn’t represent everything you wanted in the candidate….stay home! Voting 3rd party, or write in will only get us another four years of complete destruction. If you want the socialists to completely take over, then just use your vote for Obama. Don’t give me that crap about ‘standing on principles’. Standing on principle is great and I’m all for it, but when it comes to this country, you need to get your head screwed on straight, and stand WITH those of us who KNOW we have to boot Obama from the White House. We didn’t get this far down the sewer in one day, and we sure won’t be getting out of it in one election cycle. If giving Obama his pink slip isn’t your goal, then you have lost sight of our real problems, and it ain’t Mitt! Our problem is the GOPer elites, who need to be replaced, and the lame stream media, that needs to relearn the meaning of investigative journalism. IF we stand together, eventually, we just might be able to TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!
Obama has not been a leader. He, and his minions, have basically crowned him king, and kings don’t give a flying flip about the peons that pay his bills.
ZoNation – A Herman Cain Presidential Nomination Would Expose Liberal Bias and Racism
Mr Cain was my first choice. Thanks to the establishment GOP elites, the libtards and the lame stream, we are stuck with someone NO conservative wanted. Where’s the logic here?
Stupid Republicans
DC Showdown
The ‘Do Nothing’ Senate – 1,064 Days
While the House has pass bill after bill, addressing some of our biggest problems, there is a certain senator from Nevada who has closed the door, locked it, and thrown away all the keys that might help our economy get back on track. For this reason, the Republicans need…MUST…take control of both houses. While some Republicans are no better than Do Nothing Reid (formerly known as Runnin’ Reid) at least we know that Republicans are capable of coming up with some common sense solutions. It is going to take some drastic measures to get off the track to socialism, and back on the track of freedom, and there will be whining. Let them whine! The spending has got to stop, and we have got to become responsible for our own well being through blood, sweat and tears if need be. As I told Rep Blackburn at her last townhall here, it’s the House that controls the purse strings, why are they not slapping some big hands and slamming the lid shut on the cookie jar?
Another Vision to Solve the Budget Crisis
The Foundry
While Washington’s eyes are focused on the historic Obamacare hearings at the Supreme Court, work continues across the street in the House of Representatives where some Members of Congress — though not all — are doing their best to clean up Washington’s budgetary mess.
It has now been 1,064 days since the U.S. Senate passed a budget, the national debt is nearing $16 trillion, and the deficit is at $3 trillion. In the face of this mess, the Republican Study Committee (RSC) yesterday unveiled its plan to balance the budget in five years, and it does so with entitlement reforms, sharp and aggressive spending cuts, avoiding tax hikes, including pro-growth tax reform, and providing for a strong national defense.
The Conservative South Is Speaking
Santorum lands Southern primary wins in Mississippi, Alabama
Rick Santorum scored a big pair of victories Tuesday night, winning the Mississippi and Alabama Republican primaries as he builds the case that he is the “conservative” alternative to Mitt Romney over Newt Gingrich.
“We did it again,” Santorum told a cheering crowd in Louisiana Tuesday night.
The former Pennsylvania senator won in two deep red states that are among the most conservative in the nation. In his victory speech, Santorum suggested the GOP contest remains far more competitive than Romney’s supporters make it out to be.
It’s quite obvious the South isn’t falling into line as the GOP elites expected. 
They really might want to listen to the voters once in a while, cuz we really don’t want another “moderate” McCain. You’d think they would have learned that lesson last time around. *shakes head*
SPLC – Supidity At It’s Finest
Patriots Are Radical, Racist, Hate-Filled Terror Suspects
On the heels of the National Defense Authorization Act’s indefinite detention provision and Attorney General Eric Holder’s unfortunate “the U.S. government has the right to kill you” speech and while the word “terrorist” is used ever more loosely, left-wing activists groups are ramping up their campaigns against those who believe in smaller government.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (also known more accurately as the Southern Preposterous Lie Center here at Personal Liberty Digest™), long known and called out for its shameless exploitation of race for profit, has released its latest report profiling hate in America: “The ‘Patriot’ Movement Explodes.” The word “patriot” as defined over the course of about 3,000 words by the author, however, varies a bit from Webster’s definition and the likely definition of most people who feel patriotic: “One who loves and loyally or zealously supports one’s own country.”
If there is any hate filled, racist organization, that would be SPLC! But yet, according to their definition, I’m a terrorist, and likely, so are you!
Following the alarmist introduction, the author tells his readers that the so-called “Patriot movement” is again on the uptick, growing from 149 groups in 2008 to 512 in 2009, and again in 2010 to 824, and then, last year, jumping to 1,274. The title of the report and the groups contained under the author’s definition of “patriot” likely alarm the everyday conservative who may spend time on weekends organizing for like-minded political candidates, lecturing friends about the value of our Founders’ vision laid forth in the Constitution of the United States, decrying the continual expansion of an ever-stifling Federal bureaucracy or waving signs on the local courthouse steps with Tea Party peers.
Granted, there are some groups, on the very FAR right, and the very FAR left, that are likely not all that concerned with the Constitution, or the rule of law. The very FAR right most likely want to be separate from the rest of the country that may see us regular ol’ patriots as too far left. Go figure. Then, on the very FAR left, we see the anarchists who are attacking the police and destroying property, masquerading as “Occupiers”.
Following are some of the subgroups into which the alarmists at SPLC divide patriots:
- Anti-Gay: Patriotic Americans as defined by SPLC can be members of one of 27 militantly anti-gay groups that are involved in “efforts to ban or repeal marriage equality and what seemed to be an intensification of anti-gay propaganda in certain quarters.”
- Anti-Muslim: The author contends that people who consider themselves to be American patriots may be involved in one of the 30 groups that exist throughout the Nation that vilify and commit hate crimes against Muslims.
- Black Separatists: Black Americans who consider themselves patriots, have an unfavorable view of President Barack Obama or who believe the Constitution is an important document are likely members of the small portion of African-Americans belonging to the greater sovereign citizens movement, according to SPLC.
- Christian Identity: Patriots who are also Christians may believe that Jewish people are direct descendants of Satan and people of color are “soulless mud people” in SPLC’s view.
- Ku Klux Klan: The SPLC believes that the growing Patriot movement also coincides with a growing number of Ku Klux Klan members in the country.
- Neo-Confederates: Centered on the Alabama League of the South, a group founded in 1994 with the alleged goal to organize a second Southern secession, there are 32 neo-Confederate organizations that SPLC says American patriots may belong to.
- Racist Skinhead Groups: SPLC believes that American patriots could belong to any number of racist skinhead organizations — groups that have been defined over the past several decades as being fond of punk rock, anarchy and racism.
- White Nationalist Groups: In SPLC’s view, patriotic Americans may be white nationalists, similar to those who protested school integration and racial equality during the Civil Rights era.
Well, I’m not sure about any rabid ‘anti-gay’ groups, but I do know that there are some of us out here who do take God as his word. You know, that whole man and woman becoming one, and the abomination issue. Most of us don’t hate homosexuals. Hate is for those who want to expend the energy, and wear themselves out by using destructive actions. I don’t know anyone who does that. I do know many who love the ‘sinner’, and would like to help in any way possible to get back on the path that God intended. But hate? Nope. No hate.
Anti-muslim? Well, yes and no. When there are people who want to destroy our Republic form of government, and replace it with a theocracy based on one of the most hate fill ‘religious cults’ I’ve ever seen, then…yeah….you could call me anti-muslim. Not to mention that little fact….we either submit, or we die. I have a BIG problem with that ideology. I would also mention, this is the bunch who murders their children for the sake of ‘honor’, hangs homosexuals, stones women for being raped, and an amazing array of other tidbits that, evidently, the SPLC hasn’t bothered to notice. As for ‘hate crimes’ against muslims? Seriously? Compare the ‘hate crimes’ (2009) against Jews (71.9%) vs ‘hate crime’ against muslims (8.4%), and tell me again just who is being targeted because of their religion? From the statistics for subsequent years, the numbers have risen significantly….but not against muslims.
I think I know a few ‘black-separatists’. They would be the Americans with dark skin, and no hyphens, who are none to fond of Barack Hussein Obama and his socialist policies. Now, I’m fairly sure those ‘black-separatists’ that I know don’t have anything to do with the ‘sovereign citizens movement’. In case you aren’t familiar with this ‘movement’, Wikipedia describes it:
The sovereign citizen movement is a loose network of American litigants, commentators, and financial scheme promoters, classified as an “extremist anti-government group” by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Self-described sovereign citizens take the position that they are answerable only to common law and are not subject to any statutes or proceedings at the federal, state or municipal levels, or that they do not recognize U.S. currency and that they are “free of any legal constraints”.
They especially reject most forms of taxation as illegitimate. Participants in the movement argue this concept in opposition to “federal citizens”, who, they say, have unknowingly forfeited their rights by accepting some aspect of federal law.
I’ve seen a couple of folks who described themselves as such on the news out of Memphis a time or two. Honestly, I think those who were interviewed were in serious need of some psychiatric help, but that’s just my opinion, and only covers those I personally saw on the news. If the entire movement is different that what I saw, then, well…. not sure how to describe them. The father and son team, Jerry and Joseph Kane, who murdered police officers after a routine traffic stop, claimed to be ‘sovereign citizens’, unanswerable to any law. Well, I don’t know anyone like that, especially anyone I ever met through the Tea Party, Oath Keepers, or any other political organization or rally. Most of the folks I know believe in the laws, unlike many of those in Congress and filling White House positions. Folks I know believe the law of the land applies to EVERYONE, including elected officials, and those appointed to official posts.
Christian Identity…..sy whut? Well, no TRUE Christian believes what is posted above from that report. No….. TRUE Christians know that Israel is God’s Chosen People. “Patriots who are also Christians may believe that Jewish people are direct descendants of Satan and people of color are “soulless mud people” in SPLC’s view.” That’s about the most ridiculous thing I’ve read in quite a while! Obviously, the SPLC doesn’t know any TRUE Christians.
Now, as for the KKK, the Neo-Confederates, skinheads, and white nationalist groups….don’t think I’ve ever come across any who are members of those groups. I do know there are some in the South that are fed up with the east coast liberals who have been eroding the liberties of ALL Americans, and it’s possible that some wouldn’t mind cutting us off from the BIG gubmint types that tend to come from the north east, and the left coast. Seriously, I wouldn’t mind it myself. But as a whole, we’d actually like to return to the days when we were the UNITED States of America, instead of what we are now….the DIVIDED states. 
I remember the KKK from my youth, growing up in the South. Evil people….Democrats. Now, if you want to talk about home grown terrorists, take a real hard look at the history of the Klu Klux Klan, and exactly WHO they were/are…the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party!
“Founded in 1866 as a Tennessee social club, the Ku Klux Klan spread into nearly every Southern state, launching a ‘reign of terror‘ against Republican leaders black and white.” Page 184 of his book contains the definitive statements: “In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired the restoration of white supremacy. It aimed to destroy the Republican party’s infrastructure, undermine the Reconstruction state, reestablish control of the black labor force, and restore racial subordination in every aspect of Southern life.”
Honestly, I think those yahoos just pull crap out of their asses and parade it as truth. We know bullsh*t when we see it, and this is a large pile!
I Am A Sexist!
All 4 GOP Candidates OK With Women in Combat
What do the Republican presidential hopefuls think about women moving closer to the front lines of combat, the four men were asked at Wednesday’s CNN-hosted debate in Arizona.
All indicated varying degrees of support.
“I would look to the people who are serving in the military to give the best assessment of where women can serve,” former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney responded.
After noting that 100 women have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, Romney said he believes women “have the capacity to serve in our military in positions of significance and responsibility, as we do throughout our society.”
Yep…I’m definitely a sexist. Why? Well, those four males might approve of women in combat, but I don’t! UNLESS it is here, on the home front, then…yer damn skippy we’ll be fighting right along side of the guys. Otherwise, no. It’s not our job. Contrary to what the feminazis and leftards would like for people to believe…MEN AND WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT! That is a fact that cannot be changed. We think differently, we react differently, we feel differently, and I won’t even get into the physiology.
The Debate 2/22/12
Right up front I’m going to tell you….I only watched the first hour. I didn’t learn a darn thing new from any of them, so when Criminal Minds came on, I agreed with the Mr, it was time to change the channel. It was a good one too, so I have no regrets. At some point today, I may watch the last half, because, of course, I had to dvr the debate….just in case.
Yes, Newt still is able to do well in debates, Ron Paul does just fine until he starts rambling and throwing in his absurd foreign policy, neither Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum was terribly impressive, IMHO. For the time I watched, most seemed to be stuttering and stumbling over their words. I don’t know if it was because they were sitting down, and the blood was being cut off from their brains, or what! I just wasn’t at all impressed.
Now to be totally honest, there were some answers I did applaud. Santorum on the contraceptive issues, but I think he over explained. There was even one time, I whole heartedly agreed with Paul, but I’ll be darned if I can remember what it was, because after that, he went into one of his ramblings, and he totally lost me.
One thing that is irritating the bejabbers out of me….they spent most of the time defending themselves from each other, instead of concentrating on the REAL target…..Barack Hussein Obama, and his socialist agenda. Newt did a bit, but the rest of ‘em? Meh. If they succeeded in knocking off the petty bickering between themselves, and got to the meat in the second half, I just might have to watch. If not, then I don’t see the point.
The bad thing is…..I have to decide who I am going to vote for in the primary. I’ll be voting early, today or tomorrow, and honestly, at this point, it appears I’ll be flipping a coin. sigh…
MSM’s Phony News
Lunch With Marsha
So, after a week and a half of utter misery (cold + damp = PAIN), the good Lord saw fit to give us a beautiful day…sunny and 65 degrees! Lord, how I love the South! Except for the cold and damp and more snow that I ever care to see again in my lifetime, but I’ll survive.
The Hardin County Republican Party and the Pickwick Republican Women hosted a lunch for our Congresswoman, Marsha Blackburn. It was really nice to see some folks I haven’t seen in quite a while due to all the health issues we’ve had going on. Our state rep‘s lovely bride, Ashley sat with us, one of my favorite patriots, Jerry Key (yep, the same one I frequently say “Shared by Jerry” on numerous posts), and Suzanne, the new president of the ladies bunch. Plus N’Gaoi, Kay, and even Dot. There were a LOT of new faces. Gracious sakes! I gotta get back into the swing of things. *shakes head*
While waiting for Marsha, Jerry gave the invocation, and a darn good one it was too! We DO need to pray for those in power, and do our best to direct them BACK to our foundings….UNDER GOD!
Now, I have to laugh, because while introducing Marsha, she kept referring to her as Senator Blackburn. When Marsha did take the floor, spoke about all the work the House is doing, and the Senate is not, she opened up the floor for questions.
Sorry….rather fuzzy. Phone issues…again!
There were numerous excellent questions, covering a variety of topics, from spending to national security, and the Iran/Israel situation. She stands with Israel too! There was even a ‘birther’ who got a shot in? *shakes head* Oh well, if ya don’t ask the questions, ya never know, right?
I actually did have a serious question for her, but she wrapped things up, so I had to wait until she finished speaking to a few folks.
And, of course, I did have to ask, once again, if she had considered running for the Senate. Lamar Alexander – RINO, has said he isn’t going to go for another term, so….. sigh… Couldn’t pin her down. Oh well. I’d love to see either her, or Stacey Campfield, take that seat.
If the anger and momentum continues like I saw this afternoon, I feel pretty good about the outcome. But we have GOT to do the work to get it done. First thing, make sure you are registered to vote. Second, get up off your hind end and GO VOTE! I don’t want to hear “but my vote won’t count” crap! We are going to have to battle a boatload of fraud, so YES, your vote just might make the difference between winning and losing!
Just A Reminder
Ok fellow Podunkians….don’t forget…Marsha will be here at noon. Call sweet Suzanne and make sure there’s room for ya!
Rep Marsha Blackburn in Savannah
REAL History That Is No Longer Taught In Public Schools
IMHO, Representative Allen West is one of the most honorable people we are lucky enough to have in Congress. I honestly wish there were more like him.
