Prelude to Pitchforks

Some of you will remember this.  Gary Plauche, in front of a local television camera, shot and killed the man who kidnapped and sexually molested his son.  Baton Rouge prosecutors knew they couldn't get a conviction, so they offered Plauche  five years probation in return for a guilty plea.  There were two things at work here.  Plauche was driven to near insanity by what his son's karate instructor had done, and the community understood, and shared Plauche's outrage.  Yes, he  was wrong to take the law into his own hands, especially since the law was about to deal with the pedophile.  Don't matter.  If I was on the jury, I'd have voted for "guilty of discharging a firearm in a public place," or acquittal.  What brought this to mind ...?  I didn't go looking for it, it popped into my brain as I read that George Soros, and his Moveon.org leftist vigilantes, are advising Henry Waxman about legislating control of the internet, as part of the "Fairness Doctrine."    Other stuff popped up too, but ...  I forget what that was. You may think of something else too, which is okay.   Just remember --  count on your every public utterance being recorded into your permanent record. These people mean business.

Barry's Cream Pie

An After School Special

This is  the  best  description of  the  election of  Obama that  I have  seen - TRKOF Jr. “ A teacher in the Nashville area writes: We are worried about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream" The most eye-opening civics lesson I've ever had was while teaching third grade this year.  The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest.  I decided we would have an election for a class president. We would choose our nominees.  They would make a campaign speech and  the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members.  We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have.  We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia  were picked to run for the top spot. The class had done a great job in their selections.  Both candidates were good kids.  I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.  I had never seen Olivia's mother. The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first.  He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best.  Ev ery one applauded. He sat down and Olivia came to the podium. Her speech was concise.  She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream."  She sat down.  The class went wild. "Yes! Yes!  We want ice cream." She surely would say more.  She did not have to.  A discussion  followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream?  She wasn't sure.  Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it.  She didn't know. The class really didn't care.  All they were thinking about was ice cream. Jamie was forgotten.  Olivia won by a landslide. Every time Barack Obama opens his mouth he offers ice cream, fifty percent of the people react like nine year olds.  They want ice cream. The other fifty percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean  up the mess. ”

Ted Kennedy Stories

Real Tales of Ted

Do you have one?

“   My path crossed Teddy's twice.... both in Washington D.C.   Shortly after getting out of the Army Club Business, I went to work for Schlitz, and our regional office was in Washington D.C. (Rosslyn to be more precise), and it was our practice to have group dining at locations where we wanted to get our "product" placed.  We went to an early dinner at the Palm (19th near M)... and it was the beginning of their dinner service  Teddie and a few cohorts were there, and it looked like they were already in the tank, (as if they had been there since lunch).  They were whooping it up and playing grab ass with the waitresses as they walked by, and making complete asses out of themselves. The second time was at the Prime on K Street.  He was loudly holding court with 2 other people (I think) at the table... My party sat not far away, and we marveled at how the drinks just kept coming.  They were there before we arrived, and were still there when we left....getting louder and louder. A real piece of work! CR ”

Barack Obama "Public Will Have 5 Days To Look At Every Bill That Lands On My Desk"

Obama Speak

In unison, everyone  yell, "You lying sack of sh*t!  What about the stimulus bill ?"  Just kidding. This is the sort of rhetoric Obama  trolls feast on.  Having previously endured eight years of "Clinton Speak, Palin people know that all democrats are  pathological liars, and automatically deconstruct every utterance.   Bills landing on Obama's desk for signature are done deals, so BFD.  It also doesn't matter that not a single democrat read a word of the stimulus bill before rubber stamping it, does it?  It's still law. There's not a doubt in my mind - yours too -  that the Founding Fathers, looking down from Mount Olympus, are screaming, "Why haven't you overthrown these monsters?"   The answer is, we're old, afraid, and stand at the edge of the pit waiting for our stimulus money.  We're pussies.
