Its been nearly a year since I posted anything here. I thought nobody was reading it. I guess I was right. Nobody complained. I really do this to blow off steam.It helps keep my blood pressure down.
The last time I took a break I promised to do better at keeping up with things. But I soon backslid back into obscurity. With today's political climate that might not be a bad place to be.
But now I need to vent. The Obama administration has allowed Iran to become a nuclear nation as of today. As this is being written the Russians are loading fuel into Iran's first nuclear reactor. In less than a year they will have enough material to complete the bomb they have been working so hard to develop. They are then expected to follow through on their stated goal of wiping Israel off the map. We have had no better ally in the middle east than Israel. Obama has deserted them. When the Promised Land becomes Iran's "promised parking lot" the U.S. may be next.
I didn't agree with a lot that "W" did but I sure do miss him.

Halloween Tea Party
The Tea Party on Halloween will be held at the Ag-South building at Mitchell Station. This is 4 miles north of Fitzpatrick on Hwy 110 in Bullock County.
The theme is "It's Halloween and the government is scaring me." come on out and listen to folks just like yourself give their opinion on the size of government, the national health-care menace or any other government program such as socialism that is destroying the nation we all hold dear.
Stand up and be counted. Become one of the "astro-turf" terrorists, so feared by the liberals. Let the politicians know that not only do elections have consequences but so do congressional actions.
Saturday, Oct. 31, 4 miles north of Fitzpatrick on Hwy 110. Come tell the politicians you're mad as hell and your not going to take it any more.

Messiah Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
The Messiah has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This award used to mean something. But the last three Americans to win it, Owlgore, Jimmy Carter and Obama have relegated the prize to irrelevance. Obama had been fighting for peace for twelve whole days when he was nominated for the award. The only possible reason for him taking the award from other people who had actually worked for peace was another slap at George Bush by the liberal European elite.
The Nobel committee said the award was for what Obama offered in the pre-election rhetoric. Who are they kidding? That's like awarding me the Nobel prize for literature for a book that I might someday write.
After Gore, Carter and Obama (and let's not forget Arafat) who could actually be proud of winning? The Nobel Prize, once the top award in the world is now nothing more than a liberal political statement.

Halloween Tea Party
The TV show "Today in USA (Union Springs, AL.)" is hosting a political Tea Party on Halloween (Oct. 31) in the Fitzpatrick area. I'll let you know the exact location as soon as its safe to reveal it. We'll have speakers that are brave enough to speak out against the direction the government is taking our country.
Speaking of "Today in USA", the show is a re-incarnation of the show Bill Roughton and I put on a couple of years ago. But there is one major difference. The old show was available only on Channel 23 of the Union Springs cable system. The new show is streamed over the internet and available live all over the world. The website, just in case you want to tune in is www.n-focusproductions.net. It comes on at 6:30pm Sunday evenings.
I just found out that N-Focus Productions will perform a test of the website tonight (Tuesday, the 29th) at 9:00pm. They will re-broadcast last Sunday's show. The topic was survival and the speaker was David James. He'll give you something to think about that you never realized before.
It's time to stand up and be counted. It doesn't matter if you're Democrat, Republican, Independent or Mickey Mouse, it's your country that's being torn assunder. The politicians are so out of touch someone has to give them a reality check. Get involved. Come out to the Tea Party on Halloween and lets scare the hell out of a bunch of politicians.

Time to be Uncivil
During the messiah's speech to the joint session of Congress Rep. Joe Wilson, (R-SC)
violated protocol by shouting "You lie" in response to a statement by the messiah. During his speech the messiah stated that illegal aliens would not be covered by his proposed health care takeover.
The fact is there is nothing prohibiting care of illegals in any of the bills being considered. So the fact is, Obama lied. But the uproar caused by Wilson's outburst is not the accuracy of his statement. It is because Republicans have become so uncivil.
The Democrats fail to remember all the cries of "Bush lied" during the last administration. The Democrats could give lessons in incivility. In fact they do. During the townhall meetings they were caught on tape giving instructions on how to disrupt the meetings.
I think its time to become uncivil. John McCain's refusal to call a spade a spade is what got us to where we are today. If he had called Obama the Socialist that he is he might have won the election. If we're nice to the democrats now they won't remember it after the elections next year.

High Times
Here I sit, deadline upon me, with nothing to write. I started a column a couple of days ago expounding on the reasons you shouldn’t write meaningful articles while you are mad. But I got mad and had to quit on that one. So what to do?
It’s not like I don’t have subject matter. Michael Jackson not being buried yet, Ted Kennedy buried already and of course the never ending supply of material, Barak Obama.
So why can’t I string together a few sentences for a column?
I don’t know. I’m trying to quit smoking again and am taking a new medication that is supposed to help. It really does help though it is not a slam dunk. It is still quite a struggle. It is 90 % mental and the other half physical. I always wanted to say that.
I guess I could tell you about my latest round at the hospital. It’s not nearly as interesting as Amblin’ On’s article in Dixie Living last month. Mine started with a routine stress test. I wasn’t really having any problems other than occasional angina. But the stress test revealed my heart wasn’t getting enough blood. So in they go again with one of them Roto Rooter thingies that opens up clogged arteries. When they had removed the clogs they installed three more stints to keep things flowing. I’ll admit the procedure was painless and I was conscience the whole time. The procedure was the good part.
The bad part was, lying flat on that autopsy table, or whatever it was, killed my back. I have something deteriorating in my back that allows a nerve to pinch when I lie flat. As soon as I lay down it felt like a hot knife in my back. Of course with me not being put under, I felt the pain. I politely told the doctor I needed something for my back pain. He gave me a shot of Fentanol or something like that. It did absolutely nothing for the pain. About a half hour later he gave me another dose of the same stuff. While it did help a little, the pain was excruciating. I asked him if he had any corn liquor or something that worked and after a while he gave me a shot of morphine. On my earlier hospital stay me and morphine became very good friends. But this time my friend let me down, even after a second dose.
Now this procedure took about two hours and just before it was finished I had taken all I could stand. I told the doctor I was gonna get up and walk out of there if I didn’t get some relief. He told me I was so full of dope I couldn’t walk even if he did let me get up. But he relented and gave me a shot of something that sounded like Luadenum. Now that stuff was powerful. It put me out before you could say kiss a duck.
When I woke up I was in the recovery room hooked to a bunch of monitors, IVs and some things I didn’t know what they were. The nurses told me everything had gone well but I had to lay still and keep my leg straight. Something about if I moved my leg the femoral artery might open up and I could bleed out before anything could be done. I was on cloud nine but my back was beginning to hurt again. I agreed to be still if they would give me something for my back and figure out a way for me to pee. If the word pee offends you, stop reading here.
I knew you couldn’t stop. The nurse brought me a plastic urinal, the use of which brought me pleasant relief. Then she brought me another shot of that Laudenum stuff and it was off to La-La Land.
Things went well until about 2:00 am. The first thing I knew was the nurse was standing by the bed hollering at me. I couldn’t understand why. Then I realized there were alarms going off on my monitors. Thinking I must have flat-lined I looked around for the crash cart. But all I saw was me, sitting up on the side of the bed, peeing at the plastic urinal and hitting it every now and then. I had pulled all the wires off and the IV had come unhooked. Things were kind of chaotic for a few minutes.
The nurse got me back to bed and got me all hooked up again and things quieted down. I told the nurse my back was beginning to hurt again and she said “You just hang in there Sunshine, you ain’t getting’ no more Laudenum.”
I managed to get back to sleep. I waited all morning for the nurse to give me a bath like Amblin’ On’s nurse did but it didn’t happen. Soon the doctor came around and sent me home. And here I am. I wish I had about a pint of that Laudenum.

Enough Already
First read this link.If it doesn't work cut and paste into browser.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/aug/14/criminal-prayer-case-stirs-protests/?feat=home_headlines
If you didn't read it, I'll tell you a little about it. A Florida panhandle school principal and his athletic director are facing jail time for asking the blessing at a dinner/meeting at his school. Just what the hell has this country come to? Never mind how we got to where we are, how long are we going to put up with it?
I read somewhere that 86% of this country are Christians while the other 14% are complaining about it. This 14% has the ACLU on their side so they use the courts to remove God from public life. Are you aware that we, the public, are paying the ACLU with tax dollars to sue us?
When is America going to grow a backbone and stand up and say ENOUGH? I'll gladly go down to the panhandle and pray at that school. I'll bet I could find a crowd to go with me. Of course the liberals would call us a mob, Nazis, Brownshirts or paid Republican shills.
I don't know who said it first but I've repeated it many times. We have exactly the government we deserve.
