RANTS FROM THE PAST - ALL OF WHICH ARE WORTH READING AGAIN
AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! The liberals in the media have actually done some good with their left-wing spin. Can you believe that? They took a group of law abiding, even-tempered, citizens and made them out to be hell-raising, gun slinging, shoot onsite, vigilantes! They have the Mexican’s thinking that the Minute Men are a gang of whiskey sucking freaks, with trigger fingers itchier than their rectums after eating a plate of hell-chicken nachos Especial - covered in XXX Habenario hot sauce, who have a pool bet going on who can bag the most wet-backs. Hilarious! But,
it is working. The number of illegals trying to cross over has dropped
where the Minute Men are. Thank you, you stupid libs in the media. Your
slant actually worked for the good of our country - for once!
Our government isn’t going to do anything about this because both sides - Dems and Repubs - only see the problem through the ‘it might cost me a vote’ prism. They care more about a single vote than they do your life. Isn’t that sick? Their proposals to stop illegal immigration do about as much as burying a tin can full of Epsom salt at midnight on the third day of the month does to stop the pains of arthritis. Nothing! Asinine! Lets face it Shovelers, the Republicans are turning out to be nothing more than Democrat Lite. They have the majority, but they don’t have the sack to do anything about it. Alas, that is a totally different rant! Back to our boarders. I guess we are all just going to have to form our own little coalitions to protect them. God knows they need it. Lets be honest here, guys. The only thing on this planet that is easier to get into other than our country, is Madonna. And that will make you itch. An itch that can only be scratched by an hourly application of Valtrex. At least that’s what Michael Vick told me. The tax money we spend on the illegals is insane! Why should we have to pay the hospital bill for them to run across the boarder and give birth to little bitty leaf-blower operators? It is insane!!! Anyway, I have a few solutions. One. Nuke the place! That will drastically reduce the number of people trying to come in illegally. Plus, the ones that remain will glow. Think of the tax dollars that will save us, just in night-vision goggles alone! Ok. That is a bit extreme. Two. The
Democrats are always yelling about the unemployed. Well, here is a perfect
job opportunity. I’m sure there are plenty of unemployed people from
fields such as construction and engineering. Lets put them to Third. Stop euthanizing all the millions of dogs the we do every year. Train them and set them loose on the boarder. That would make for a bunch of happy little puppies. They could spend all day playing fetch. I’m sure even the liberals at P.E.T.A. would back me on this one! We wouldn’t even have to feed them because their catch would be their food. Put out a trough of refried beans and they would be munching a number 22 combo twice a day. Why do I feel like I need a margarita right now? Anyway, I am not anti-immigration. Just illegal. Oh, I forgot about the Canadian border. That isn’t such a big deal though. What are those French freaks going to do? Run into our country just to surrender? Did I just hear Peter Jennings cough? <oh, I’m going to pay for that!> Shovel on! __________________________________________ Monday, 18, 2005 The liberals in the media have actually done some good with their left-wing spin.

Timm Monday, 11, 2005 Il riposo nella pace non ha paura John Paul the II
I am not worthy of commentary here. Head bowed. 28, March, 2005 How was your weekend? Mine was pretty much open, I had the opportunity to do any thing that I wanted to do. Well, that is anything other than what I actually wanted to do. Which, by the way, would have been Nelly Furtado, but that is a whole ‘nother story, which involves a lot of whip cream and a Spiderman mask. But, I won’t go into that right now. Anyway, I just purchased a new laptop and I
needed a wireless card to connect it to my network. THE EVER GROWING, 3000
plus SHOVELERS NETWORK!!! Thank you!
So, I ventured out to find one. This led me into a shovel swinging battle with the absolute worst customer service on the planet that I have ever experienced. I’m not writing this to name anyone, and I don’t want to call the company out, so we will just call them BEST BUY. I have never gone into this place and gotten out without having a problem. Could just be me, but I doubt it. Did I mention that they call themselves Bust Buy? Anyway, I needed a wireless card. I knew EXACTLY
what I needed. I just wanted to know where it was. So, I go over to this
pimple faced GEEK, and ask him where I could find said object. He then
preceded to ask questions that didn’t need to be asked. I run a webpage, jackass. I kinda know what is going on in the CPU world. I could write a book for you geek ass, never been laid computer nerds! Anyway, he basically talked to me like he was pissing in my face while standing on a golden ensconced ‘we know computers and you don’t’ Best Buy pedestal! Did I mention that I was at Best Buy when this happened? Fine. Whatever. So, I, then, changed my questions to Atari and walked away complaining that my PONG didn’t work. The kid looked confused. Which, I would have too, if I were his age and there were over 9 zillion gigabytes of zits on my face and the closest thing that I'd ever came to having sex was an amorous look at a picture of Nelly Furtado. At this point I needed a sedative, but my doctor’s office wasn’t open to prescribe me the 200 million milligrams of Valium that I needed to calm down, so I went to the local watering hole. I pulled into the parking lot at the same time that a car full of losers pulled in. How did I know they were losers? They still had a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker on their car. So, I followed them in and actually ended up
being seated behind them. It was amazing. They proceeded to have fun, in the typical liberal fashion, that being that they sat there and bitched about everything! I swear, after listening to them for 10 minutes, I was questioning their quality life! They were obviously miserable, so how can we judge their quality of life??!?! I am guessing that is sucks. I wanted to go file papers and ask the courts to remove their feeding holes! I watched another guy walk in. He looked like he had just woken up. But not in that, "I over slept" way. It was more like that, "the crystal meth lab in my bathtub blew up and this is the first time that I have slept in two years", kinda way. I then proceeded to watch him go O.J. Simpson on the English language! Never before have I heard someone use the word ‘ain’t ’as a noun, verb, adjective, pronoun and a gerund. All in the same damn sentence!!! This clod had obviously skipped class on the vocational opportunities that were offered to him. When the waitress came by, I ordered a water and sat back wishing that they served cotton candy. It would be quite fitting for this freak show. Thanks for swinging by, guys! Shovel on! Timm 21, March, 2005 Anyway, it would read that way because that son of a bitch would be in a shallow grave in a place where no one would ever find him!!!!! EVER! DAMN!!! If I were to grip my shovel any tighter right now the thing would disintegrate!!!! Because of this asshole, your government is actually considering starving this woman to death! Staving her to death! The same government that taxes you damn near to death so that they will be able to feed people who won’t work to feed themselves!! That sort of thinking is enough to make Einstein say, screw it, and pull out a coloring book and just sit back and enjoy a little quality down time. Chicken Little just thought about it and said what the F**k? And killed himself! I guess this judge is wanting to go straight hell
without having to go though airport security, ....errrrr.... I mean, pass
GO! She must really be wanting to get her hands on Lucifer’s gavel! WHAP!
Trust me guys, the last thing we need to do is give those self-absorbed, narcissistic, freaks - who live to govern our daily existence - the power to decided when any of us are no longer viable. The Democrats will remove the tube if your taxes aren’t significant enough to pay for their social wealth redistribution programs, and the Republicans will yank the tube if you ever have the thought that some of those social programs aren’t really that bad. Up yours Washington! An attorney for Terri Schiavo said the severely
brain-injured woman cried and yelled out that she wants to live after
being told today her life-sustaining feeding tube was about to be removed
by court order. Schiavo suffered severe brain damage in 1990 when a chemical imbalance apparently brought on by an eating disorder caused her heart to stop beating for a few minutes. She can breathe on her own, but has relied on the feeding-and-hydration tube to keep her alive. The eating disorder was brought on because of him! He called her fat from the second she woke up, until the second she went to bed. BASTARD! There are also medical records that show physical abuse. The courts, and the media, seem to want to ignore that. This bastard did this to her and now he wants to finish it. He wants to kill her, and that judge wants to let him do it. Again, that judge is going to enter hell at warp speed!! Look out, Scotty! She was appointed by Clinton. Go figure, huh? Screw all of this stuff about the sanctity of husband and wife, and the spouse having the say so. This guy has fathered two other kids with another woman - so the marriage THING is out the window! Shut up, you dirt bag! If we are going to remove a tube, it should be the one that is hanging between his legs!! Believe me, I have a shovel that would be perfect for that operation! Just think about her parents. They know Terri better than anyone else on this planet - doctors included. Trust me! And you female shovelers with kids know this to be a fact. I could go see my doctor and he might not catch the fact that I had a sore throat. I could call my mom from the freaking MOON and she would notice it before I finished my first sentence! ME... "One small step for man, one..." MOM... " What is wrong? You sound like you need a lozenge.!" The father is still seeing the little girl that he walked down the isle and handed over to this f***ing bastard! WHAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That has to eat at his brain like a rabid jackal! He gave her to this monster! Where is my staff??? Because I need a sedative!!! Anyway, one thing that really makes me want to swing is the fact that this woman could have killed her kids and been sentenced to death and been locked up on death row, and then if she’d stopped eating while she was in her cell on death freaking row, the same freaks who want to pull that feeding tube from her, would be the same people who would force her to have a feeding tube put in so that she couldn’t starve herself to death. They would then force feed her until the day they gave her the lethal injection! INSANE! How screwed up have we become?? Think about it, guys! She is a human being and our government is actually considering starving her to death. THAT IS SICK! Can you say Stalin? Our government wants to STARVE HER TO DEATH!! God, I am going to vomit! When are we going to remove Ted Kennedy’s whiskey tube? What if Michael Moore needed a feeding tube? That would be a bigger endeavor than the instillation of the Alaskan Pipeline, wouldn’t it? The environmentalist would have a fit over that, wouldn’t they? I mean, think about the impact it would have on the caribou. He would be eating about a dozen of them a day. As long as we provided him with honey mustard sauce. Sorry. Tangent there. Anyway, pray that those idiots in power do the right thing here. Otherwise you might have to wake up every morning hoping that you have not become obsolete! Shovel on! Will one of you guys bring me a Valium?? :):) I think I need to calm down. Whew! Timm Three Shot to Death at Ga. Courthouse A judge presiding over a rape trial was shot to death Friday along with two other people at the Fulton County Courthouse, authorities said. A fourth person was critically wounded and the suspect, the defendant at the trial, remained at large hours later. Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor
<who rightly deservers to be beat to death with a shovel 10 times over!>
confirmed that Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes
and his court reporter were killed. He gave no other details in announcing
the deaths in the state Senate. A deputy died later at a hospital,
authorities said. I know this is going to anger my female Shovelers, but this is proof positive that women shouldn't be in any law enforcement, or military, positions - Anywhere! Sure there are exceptions, I know that. There are girlymen who would wet their pants at the very sight of a fist, and there are also bull dykes who would shovel me into oblivion if they got the chance, but all in all, a man can overpower a woman when and where he wants. God's will. Not my opinion. Just a fact! If this fact weren't true there would be hundreds of less rapes and hundreds of more guys walking into the emergency rooms with their Clinton's in theirs hands, screaming, "Please, Dear God! Can someone reattach this!" Think about it! WHAP! Fulton County is a third-world country here in Georgia. If you were to add a drunken bearded midget woman it would be a freak show to beat all freak shows. The District Attorney is a complete waste of God-given brain cells, who couldn't successfully indict Karen Carpenter on charges of throwing up too often! We have to get rid of this idiot WHAP! Maddening! The suspect got the gun by overpowering a sheriff's deputy while he was being escorted within the courthouse, Assistant Police Chief Alan Dreher said. He then went to the courtroom, held about a dozen people there at bay for a short time and then shot and killed the judge and court reporter, he said. Another deputy was later killed outside the courthouse. "We are working very diligently to bring the suspect to justice," Dreher said at a midafternoon briefing. Details are still being sorted out; the injured deputy was under sedation, he said. Doctors had said she was wounded in the head. If you were working "very diligently" to bring this asshole to justice, there would have been 3 cops on him at all times, and all 3 of them would have had trigger fingers that were itchier than the crotch of the last guy who dated Madonna WHAP! Barnes was named to the Fulton County Superior Court bench in 1998. <I had nothing to do with it, unlike the naming of R. Rich to the State Court in 2004! :):) hehheehe>
Among cases he handled was the fatal 2003 car wreck by hockey star Dany Heatley that killed 25-year-old teammate Dan Snyder. Heatley pleaded guilty and was sentenced Feb. 4 to three years on probation and ordered to give 150 speeches about the dangers of speeding. Blah, blah! Who is going to listen to a Frenchman speak? Much less 150 times? How many different ways are there to say, I surrender?" Anyway, I think this jackass had a little karma slung back at him. Last month a case was brought before him where a mother pleaded guilty to killing her 5-week-old daughter. She beat her child to death! He let her go! No time! He let her walk, upon the agreement that she would have her tubes tied. She killed her own kid, and he let her go on the promise that she would not give birth to another possible miscreant! What a maggot! By the way, she had 7 other illegitimate kids! My Shovel is glowing! Beat your 5-week old child to death, and you must tie your tubes. Seems like an equal trade to me. NOT! WHAP! Me thinks, this judge just had karma smack him in the face! Shovel Out Timm 04, March, 2005 Do we have some freaks sitting on The Supreme
Court now, or what? They are supposed to interpret law, not make it. What
is wrong with these guys? What happened to states’ rights? Oh, I forgot,
they disappeared a long time ago. Back in the days before people realized
that a shovel could be used for something other than digging a big hole in
the ground. Anyway, to expand on the question: What is wrong with everyone in
Washington? I just had an idea. Why can’t we take Washington and make it like Jim Carrey’s movie, The Truman Show? Just put a big dome over Washington and create an imaginary world where all of those "I am somebody, damn it!", aloof , pretentious, self-affected legislators can go about their daily routine of staring into their mirrors and telling themselves how important they are without us having to deal with the consequences of their whims? It wouldn’t be that hard to do. Think about it. We could set up a copious amount of microphones and cameras, thus insuring that John Mc Cain would be too busy seeking face time to ever catch on. A couple of cases of sour mash whiskey to keep Ted Kennedy conciliated and inebriated enough not to notice. And, of course a statue of a Klu Klux Klansman so that Charlie Rangel, and his ilk, can remain focused on their belief that all Republican crackers are Negro hating racist. <but Robert Byrd is a good guy> Then get some guy with a foot fetish to lip smack Hillary’s feet, and we’d have most of the bases covered. Toss in a few hookers, some brown-nosers and a midget with some lime-flavored vodka and I think we would have Washington off of our backs for at least 10 years. Seems like a simple plan to me. A rudimentary cure to the freak show that we are all forced to pay to watch. We could just put them in a big fairytale land dome and then we could all sit back, grab some cotton candy and watch the freaks on our TV’s without any of it actually affecting our daily lives. Your suggestions are welcomed. Anyway, back to the Supreme Court and their
decision on 17 being too young to be given the death penalty. What are
these guys thinking? They just gave the gang bangers a free pass. Kids today don’t fear the law as it is. Now they just told them that no matter what they do, the worst they will get will be three square meals and a bed. Side note - I have yet to actually have a square meal. Well, other than that square thing the lunchroom lady used to serve us. She called it Salisbury steak. I’m pretty sure is was compressed, brownish- food colored gruel. I could be wrong, but to this day I still haven’t gotten that taste out of my mouth. Anybody have a couple of Chiclets? Kids today do not fear any repercussions for their actions. You can’t take a belt to them or you will get locked up. My dad took a belt to me and I’m glad he did. It only took a couple of times of him doing it before I figured out what was right and what was wrong. Today, kids get timeouts. I had timeouts when I was a kid, it was me taking timeout to try and wipe the bright pink pain sting stain off of my butt. Not today though. The Supreme Court just told every punk in our country to go for it. Don’t these robe loving crackpots understand that kids are killing kids and they just handed them a hall pass to the school of punishment? Maddening! WHAP!
Responsibility. We need more personal responsibility in our world today. Do the crime do the time, even if it means being put to death. Also, screw all of this lethal injection stuff. Fry the killing little bastards. I say, make them swallow 2 or 3 cups of un-popped popcorn kernels and then hit them with the juice. Bam! Instant human popcorn machine! WHAP! Let me end by saying that age makes absolutely no difference. 17 is just an arbitrary number that these self-admiring freaks came up with. It is a joke. If you think about it, you could sentence a one-year-old to death and, due to appeals and all the other legal mumbo jumbo, he wouldn’t be executed until he was in his freaking 30's!!!!! WHAP! Shovel out! Timm 28, February, 2005 God must have skipped monitoring the chlorine levels of the gene pool 58 years ago, because we somehow ended up with the heretic, Ward Churchill. I am sure you guys have heard the squalor he has been spewing. I’m not going to call him a liberal, because to call him a liberal would be insulting to liberal people. I thought about putting quote after quote here, but I decided I didn’t want to vomit while swinging my spade, so I will give you just one. "True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial empire ... To the extent that any of them were unaware of the costs and consequences to others of what they were involved in – and in many cases excelling at – it was because of their absolute refusal to see. More likely, it was because they were too busy braying, incessantly and self-importantly, into their cell phones, arranging power lunches and stock transactions, each of which translated, conveniently out of sight, mind and smelling distance, into the starved and rotting flesh of infants. If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I'd really be interested in hearing about it." Sick! He has the right to say it. I am all for the freedom of speech, but part of the freedom of speech should be the freedom to beat! WHAP! What bothers me most about this guy is that he gets paid with taxpayer monies! If he wants to spout this stuff, let him open his own little school. Ward Churchill’s Academy for the Demonically Stupid and Irretrievably Dense. Let them get their degrees which will qualify them for jobs in fields such as - carbon-based life forms that can be used as human shields, or people who should be set fire to, or the human equivalent of the dung beetle. This guy hates the very country that gives him
the freedom to be such a rambling idiot! He should go over to the middle
east and spout this sort of tripe against those governments and see what
happens. They would tie him to the ground and remove all of his vital
organs with posthole diggers and feed them to goats while they shoved
copious copies of the Koran up his rectum!! WHAP! WHAP!
I swear, I hope this guy completely loses control of his bowels, develops an ungodly rectal itch, wakes up gay, and hits his head on the wall giving him a concussion that causes him to develop an uncontrollable urge to take his own life! "If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I'd really be interested in hearing about it." What sort of red-haired skunk bud is this guy
putting in his peace pipe? I would love to see this guy have an accident
with a falling anvil! He thinks we deserved it? He has the same attitude
of people who think rape victims deserved it because they were wearing
nice smelling perfume and a pretty blouse. F you Churchill!! Speaking on
that subject, I think this buffoon has been mental raped! Someone came
along and screwed his damn brains out!
My advice to this guy is pack your things and leave. Charlie Sheen’s advice is to get a couple of hookers and a big bag of blow and just chill. Up yours, Churchill! I would like to canonize this guy. And I'm not talking canonize in the literal sense, I'm talking canonize in the sense of a large lead ball, some gun powder and a fuse. I think I need to relax now. You know what I mean. Slip back in a big tub full of mud, some cucumbers on the eyes, a towel around the head, a blonde rubbing my shoulders, and some soft tunes playing in the background, that sound more like an elephant mounting a donkey than they do music. Like Zamfir or Slim Whitman. You know what I am talking about, I know that you do! God bless America! Shovel on! Timm 07, February, 2005 It was Super Bowl Sunday, guys! I had a Super Bowl party to prepare, host and clean up after. There was no time to rant. But, I have something for you. Did you know that yesterday would have been President Reagan's 94 birthday? A rant tribute.... 14, June, 2004 What a week this was. I am sure you older shovelers thought back to President Kennedy as you watched the week unfold. I found myself thinking about my granddad. Maybe because both men seemed so huge to me when I was a kid. Or maybe because President Reagan was like a granddad to our nation. The wise old man sitting at the head of the table keeping the rest of the family in line, telling us things that we would ignore in our fractious youth, but would later look back and marvel at. Someone with a moral compass that we could only hope to aspire to. Several of you have asked me if I think we will have another Ronald Reagan. NO! But, I say that in the context that we will never have another me or another you. We are all very unique individuals and there will never be another like us. Remember that. So, will we have another leader like President Reagan? I believe that we will and I believe that person will come from the generation that is watching America defeat terrorism. President Reagan was called a war monger. Nothing could have been further from the truth. He never wanted a war, he wanted to end the threat of war. That is why he walked away from Rachavick. He was not going to settle for yet another so-called peace agreement. He was saying we are going to end this now. He stood up and walked away as if to say, if you want some come get it, I will be out in the yard. The Empire blinked and fell like the weakling bully that is was. President Reagan knew communism couldn’t compete with us morally and more importantly economically. He made deals with two other nations to increase their out put of oil and coal - the Soviet Unions two biggest exports. That drove the prices down and choked the USSR economy. Combine that with the SDI spending, and down goes the union. They could not keep up. The press nicknamed SDI - STAR WARS just to make it seem like an insane fantasy. They joked, saying that you can’t shoot down a bullet with a bullet. Well, hello, let me introduce you to my little friend The Patriot Missile!! President Regan’s vision came true and it is awesome! The press was wrong - as they always are. His resentment of, and will to defeat, communism started long before he sought any office. It started when he was an actor. In the late 1940's the Communist party was trying to take over Hollywood’s unions. <Communist in Hollywood? No! Get out! > HA! Anyway, they formed lines in front of the studios and conducted some very violent protest. The actors had to be bused into the studios and were told to duck down under the seats so the mob wouldn’t see them. They did. Well, all of them but one of them did. Ronald Reagan sat tall and ignored those recommendations. He wasn’t going to blink. That was so Reagan. It makes me think of the picture of him and Nancy waving from the hospital window just two days after they had pulled a bullet out of the man’s chest. He was smiling to let the nation know he was ok, but, I think, also to say to the world, "Is that the best you’ve got?" Bring it on! President Reagan entered office at a bad time for our country. He came along after Vietnam, Nixon, Watergate, that jackass Ford and then Jimmy Carter. Not a time for us to be proud of ourselves. <That being said without disrespect to our Vietnam veterans, but you guys know that.> Anyway, he managed to turn it all around and make us proud again. Bottom line. He healed the country. I have so much more, but I am going to stop here. God Bless America was President Reagan’s favorite patriotic tune. For some reason I have the feeling that he is sitting up there right now poking Ray Charles in the ribs and saying, "Sing it one more time, buddy." His obituary should not read like the rest of ours. It should simply read, "survived by the citizens of The United States of America and the rest of the soon to be free WORLD." Shovel out, Timm
7, June, 2004
I think it is oddly appropriate that President
Reagan passed on the eve of D-Day. D-Day was the largest military
offensive in the history of mankind, and the most important one of our
times. From sun up to sun down, over 1,500 men died on that beach that
day. We won that war and the world is better for it. President Reagan won
the next war without firing a shot. {Well, he did <accidentally> drop a
bomb the French Embassy - which, to this day, still makes me smile.} I
digress though... The Cold War had the potential of being 100 times as
bloody as World War 2, but it didn’t happen. The press can spin it anyway
they want, but that empire fell at the hands and convictions of one man.
President Ronald Reagan. I would like to sit here and tell you everything I know and admire about the man, but I have decided to just give you some of his own words. This man had a set core of beliefs and he never wavered from them. He gave a speech in 1964 and he repeated those same ideals until he left public life. I want you to notice how true those words ring today. Enough rambling....... lets start with a speech he gave on the 40th anniversary of D-Day. "We stand today at a place of battle, one that 40 years ago saw and felt the worst of war. Men bled and died here for a few feet of - or inches of sand, as bullets and shellfire cut through their ranks. About them, General Omar Bradley later said, "Every man who set foot on Omaha Beach that day was a hero." As are those who are in the sands of Iraq. When men like Private Zannata and all our Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy 40 years ago they came not as conquerors, but as liberators. When these troops swept across the French countryside and into the forests of Belgium and Luxembourg they came not to take, but to return what had been wrongfully seized. When our forces marched into Germany they came not to prey on a brave and defeated people, but to nurture the seeds of democracy among those who yearned to bee free again. That is so true. America has given blood on the
lands of many countries, but we have never claimed those lands. We give
them back their freedom and then move on. It makes me sick to hear
jackasses like Ted Kennedy stand up and say that we are nation building or
invading. We are not trying to conquer the middle east, we are FREEING it.
We have never given our blood or used our might to conquer, if we had the
entire world would be ours right now.
Today, the living here assembled-officials, veterans, citizens-are a tribute to what was achieved here 40 years ago. This land is secure. We are free. These things are worth fighting and dying for. AMEN! Lisa Zannata Henn began her story by quoting her father, who promised that he would return to Normandy. She ended with a promise to her father, who died 8 years ago of cancer: "I'm going there, Dad, and I'll see the beaches and the barricades and the monuments. I'll see the graves, and I'll put flowers there just like you wanted to do. I'll never forget what you went through, Dad, nor will I let any one else forget. And, Dad, I'll always be proud." Through the words of his loving daughter, who is here with us today, a D-Day veteran has shown us the meaning of this day far better than any President can. It is enough to say about Private Zannata and all the men of honor and courage who fought beside him four decades ago: We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free. Very sobering thoughts. Next is from a speech he gave the same year at Pointe du Hoc. He is speaking about Rangers who hit that beach and climbed that mountain while being hit with mortars, grenades, bullets, you name it. They would sling up rope after rope to scale that mountain. If one of those ropes were cut by the enemy, another would be slung up. If a Ranger was killed, another would jump right in his place. 225 men went up that mountain, only 90 made it to the top. Can’t you just see how the press today would react to that operation? Anyway, here is part of what President Reagan said. Notice the theme. The men of Normandy had faith
that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all
humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead
or on the next. It was the deep knowledge -- and pray God we have not lost
it -- that there is a profound moral difference between the use of force
for liberation and the use of force for conquest. You were here to
liberate, not to conquer, and so you and those others did not doubt your
cause. And you were right not to doubt.
"....a profound moral difference between the use of force for liberation and the use of force for conquest." That morality is what separates The United States from all the dictator ruled countries. We use our power for good, that is what we are doing in Iraq. President Reagan could have given this same speech today about the soldiers who have given their lives to fight the war against terrorism. There is no doubt to our cause over there. I’m rambling too much. I want to end this with parts of a speech he gave in 1964. It has become what everyone refers to as "THE SPEECH." Forty years later it still rings true. I am going to talk of controversial things. I make no apology for this. It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government." This idea? that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. Read that last sentence again. Think of Hillary. They say the world has become too
complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done. "If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done." That statement so encompasses this man. He saw evil, he had an idea as to how to deal with it and he followed it through. He was belittled by the media, called an idiot and told that he would fail. He squared his shoulders, ignored them and marched to his own drummer. He succeeded and we are still reaping the benefits of his vision and actions today. No one can ever look at President Ronald Reagan and say that he didn't do all that he could do. I want to end this on a humorous note. So here are a few quotes from his speech at the 1992 Republican Convention. Tonight is a very special night for me. Of course, at my age, every night's a very special night. After all, I was born in 1911. Indeed, according to the experts, I have exceeded my life expectancy by quite a few years. Now this a source of great annoyance to some, especially those in the Democratic party. But, here's the remarkable thing
about being born in 1911. In my life's journey over these past eight
decades, I have seen the human race through a period of unparalleled
tumult and triumph. I have seen the birth of communism and the death of
communism. I have witnessed the bloody futility of two World Wars, Korea,
Vietnam and the Persian Gulf. I have seen Germany united, divided and
united again. I have seen television grow from a parlor novelty to become
the most powerful vehicle of communication in history. As a boy I saw
streets filled with model-Ts; as a man I have met men who walked on the
moon.
Ok... so I won’t end on a
humorous note. One thing he said there, "I have witnessed the bloody
futility of two World Wars..." This world needs to thank the man for the fact that the third World War went down without all of that bloodshed. Communism hit its knees without a shot being fired. God bless you, President Reagan. You made us all proud to stand up and say, "We are Americans." 31, January, 2005 Is Ted Kennedy showing his true colors, or what? This fat, red faced, drunken buffoon really needs to be beat to death with a shovel. He is a megalomaniac in the purest sense of the word. I honestly believe that he thinks that the world should revolve around his big, never worked a day in his life, bloated ass!! He is a pig. Well, he would be a pig if pigs actually had the cognitive skills to be complete, unmitigated A-holes! Here is a quote from his drunkenness just days before the elections in Iraq. Why did he say this? Seriously, why? Our elections, even if the liberals don’t want to admit it, are over so there is no political calculation to it. Grip and read. "We have reached the point that a prolonged
American military presence in Iraq is no longer productive for either Iraq
or the United States. The US military presence has become part of the
problem, not part of the solution. No matter how many times the
administration denies it, there is no question they misled the nation and
led us into a quagmire in Iraq. Despite the clear lesson of history, the
president stubbornly clings to the false hope that the turning point is
just around the corner." Again with, quagmire. Shut up! The guy is a rambling, totally vapid idiot. Does he hate this country, or life, or both? Hey, Ted, the clear lesson in history is that you should have been history a long time ago! You are old and worn out and you need to just go lay down. Our military presence is no longer productive? I bet our troops just love to hear that! It is like you support the troops, but at the same time hope that they do something that American troops don't do, which is fail! You are a total ass! Can I get a bill passed? The Kennedy bill - it will require that all military firing ranges will do away with the bulls eye and replace them with pictures of Ted Kennedy’s head. "false hope" What a pessimistic jackass. WHAP! He put the bottle down long enough to say this on September 27, 2004 "The battle against terrorism is a battle we must win. Even those who opposed the war in Iraq understand that we cannot cut and run, that this is an American issue" Four score, a few hundred thousand drinks, and a
few days later he said. "We can't defeat the insurgency militarily if we
don't effectively address the political context in which the insurgency
flourishes. Our military and the insurgents are fighting for the same
thing. The hearts and minds of the people, and that is a battle we are not
winning. At least 12,000 American troops -- probably more -- should leave
at once, to send a strong signal about our intentions and to ease the
pervasive sense of occupation."
Two points here. ONE - whiskey boy just contradicted himself. I don’t think I need to explain that one to you guys and I don’t guess we should really blame him because he was probably too drunk to remember his first statement. TWO - "Our military and the insurgents are fighting for the same thing. The hearts and minds of the people...." WHAP! He just compared our, military to the terrorist. Our military fighting to liberate people, to the terrorist who are killing to oppress them! Go have a stroke, you fat sot! Why haven’t the people of his state surrounded their capital, shovels in hand, and demanded that he leave or be beat to death? Oh, never mind, I just remembered that his state is a haven, a Mecca if you will, for liberals. Well, keep him. I hope you guys are proud of yourselves. How about a few more quotes from this drunk, lard licking, moron? This is part of his comments on the panty-on-the-head pictures from Abu-Ghraib, "On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked: ‘Who would prefer that Saddam's torture chambers still be open?’ Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management." Huh? Idiot. That is flat out sick! Why wasn’t he beat on the spot? He just compared Saddam’s beheading, raping, maiming, killing and disfiguring of innocent people to our soldiers’ treatment of a few murdering terrorists! Panties on the head or head lopped off with a big knife? I guess that is kind of the same thing. I mean, in that ‘one of these things is not like the other’ type of way. You jackass! Sorry, I got off on a tangent with this rant. I was going to write about the elections in Iraq. They went on, they were a success, a larger percentage of Iraqis showed up to vote than did Americans here in America. And that includes all the dead Democrats who, refusing to be disenfranchised, managed to crawl out of their caskets and get to the polls. Fat Ted, and all the other liberals were saying - maybe even praying - that these elections were going to be a blood bath. They weren’t. The terrorist only managed to kill about 50 people. In other words, percentage wise, it would be safer to be a voter in Iraq than it would be to be a passenger in Ted Kennedy’s car. The press are not going to like the fact that the elections weren’t a disaster. They are going to run around over there seeking to find anything that might be "negative" and then jam it down our throats! Maddening! We aren’t buying it anymore. Instead of trying to tear down the efforts in Iraq, why don’t they salute the efforts of our troops? I’ll tell you why. Because they SUCK! <had myself a little crass moment there> Lets end this with one more quote from the fat drunk guy named Ted. This is from a public belching back in 2004. "The President's handling of the war has been a
toxic mix of ignorance, arrogance, and stubborn ideology. No amount of
Presidential rhetoric or preposterous campaign spin can conceal the truth
about the steady downward spiral in our national security since President
Bush made the decision to go to war in Iraq. If this election is decided
on the question of whether America is safer because of President George
Bush, John Kerry will win in a landslide." Wrong. As usual. Shut up, Ted. I will let you guys in on one truth - if this election were decided on the question of whether America is safer because of President George Bush, Mary Jo Kopechne would still be dead.
F.U. Ted. Shovel on, Timm 24, January, 2005
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should.... run around, tardy of the modern standards of personal hygiene, < or should I say, the bathing habits of the French>, carrying stupid little signs expressing mindless bromides and shouting like a 5-year-old with a severe and overpowering case of turrets syndrome. WHAP! What was the importance of last Thursday?
I saw a person carrying a "no blood for oil" sign. Obviously, to me, this person was a very deep thinker. Far beyond my cogitating capabilities. I wonder- if we had to, once again, liberate France - would they be walking around with signs inscribed with the words, "no blood for white flags"? The ironic fact is that the same people who carry the no blood for oil signs are the same people who would stab you in the chest if you pulled in front of them at the gas pump. WHAP!!! Do you guys remember when liberals used to stand for liberating? Freeing? Stopping suffering? Stuff like that? Not any more, Jack! Today, in their eyes, any attempt to liberate and free a peoples, especially by a Republican, is nothing more than a plot to take over the world. A scheme to become the all being masters of time space and dimension. Liberals don’t think it is our duty to impose freedom on other nations. They are right in the sense that we can’t impose something that God has already given them. We can, however, remove the tyrants and dictators who are denying them that right. I think our Senators have a problem with us, the US, removing dictators from power because it hits a little too close to home for them. Think about it. Those people don’t run for a term, they run for life. They get there. They stay. They live off of our backs, arbitrarily deciding when they need pay increases, until the day that they decide to retire. Bring up ‘term limits’ and they cringe like Dracula at the sight of a cross. I fully realize that we have a chance to vote them out of office, but in most cases it is harder to get them out of office than it is to get a triple cheese, bacon, bacon burger out of Michael Moore’s hands. Look at Ted Kennedy, he is now drinking PREMIUM-AGED Scotch that was distilled AFTER he became a Senator. Or look at Robert, KKK lover and renowned king of verbal flatulence, Byrd. Every building, street, bridge and some porta-potties in West Virginia are named after him. I think a lot of these guys see a reflection of themselves whenever we remove someone from power. If we remove a megalomaniac from another country thousands of miles from here, then why can’t we do it to one that is no more than a two Van Halen tunes in our CD players drive away? Want to talk about a God complex? Just look at every member of the Senate. Of course, you will be looking straight up their nostrils due to the manner that they will be looking back, or should I say down, at you. But that is another rant for another swing. I started out with full intentions of talking about our President's inauguration, but then pulled a mainstream media and talked about any thing but. Hmmmm...... I hope I am not picking up their bad habits! Shovel out! Timm 10, January, 2005 Is it just me, or do you get the feeling that
minutes before every session of congress a polka dot covered Volkswagen
beetle rolls up to the steps of the capitol and the Democrats tumble out
one by one, half drunk with plastic squirting flowers pinned to their
lapels? This passel of narcissistic clowns seems to be hell bent on making
a mass exodus to that not so shiny city on the heap of irrelevance. They just couldn’t leave well enough alone and let the certification of President Bush’s reelection victory go through. Barbara Boxer <Senator, California - D> just had to protest the electoral collage votes from Ohio because she didn’t think Ohio conducted a fair election. Her definition of fair, judging from her comments, would mean that blacks could vote by simply flipping their TV’s to the BET Network. She seems to think that it is a crime that anyone, especially blacks, should have to stand in line to cast a vote. ".... predominantly in African-American
communities. Why did in the Columbus area alone an estimated 5,000 to
10,000 voters leave polling places out of frustration without having
voted? How many more never bothered to vote after they heard this because
they had to take care of their families or they had a job, or they were
sick or their legs ached after waiting for hours." WHAP! Who’s fault is it if THEY decided to leave? Why did they leave, anyway? Did their 40's get warm? This lady is a disgrace to her constituency. Well, she would be if any of them knew shame. I’ll bet those aching legs wouldn’t have driven them away if they were waiting on food stamps or a chance to get a free set of tickets to an NBA playoff game. Sorry, but this just drives me up the wall. She doesn’t care about voting discrepancies, if she did she would have mentioned all the states and not just concentrated on Ohio. But, Ohio is key because those electoral votes would have swung the election Kerry’s way. And isn’t it odd that she wants the electoral votes? If you will remember back to the 2000 election, her and Hitlery Clinton wanted to put an end to the Electoral College. They were calling it an archaic, outmoded, almost mediaeval practice that needed to be done away with immediately. Why? Because Al, the pasty faced flatulent robot boy, won the popular vote. Now, here we are in 2004, President Bush won both, but if Ketchup boy could have won Ohio he would have had enough electoral votes to get his equestrian face into the ovalest of all offices in the world. With that in mind, suddenly those votes are not quite so passé. This is so typical of the way the Democrats
operate today. They have a couple of core beliefs, but for the most part
they walk around day by day, even minute by minute, changing their beliefs
to go along with whatever they deem to be most advantageous to their
ability to maintain power and influence. It must be hard being a liberal -
not know what you might believe in when you wake up in the morning.
Can you imagine having to pander to so many whack job constituencies? Having your belief system dictated by whoever is standing in front of you at the moment. Gripping and grinning at a meeting with people who want God removed from all public places and then going straight to a group that wants God in the public places, but the odd little twist is that believe God is a giant Redwood tree growing on the northern coast of California. Or showing up at a vegetarian fund raiser with T-bone and A-1 sauce on your breath from the cattlemen fund raiser that you just left. Or, quite possibly mistaking a lavish banquet in the honor of Beelzebub as a rally for Hilary Clinton? Those guys must keep a lot of flash cards on hand to remind them what they are supposed to believe and when. These Democrats aren’t going to let up, so we might as well get used to it. Don’t let it bother you - it will be fun to watch. It seems that your average Democrat voter tends to like their representatives to be a little on the stark raving mad, idiotic, lunatic side, because they elect some real doozies. Ok. Ok. I know what you are thinking, and - no, I have no explanation for John Mc Cain (R). He must have caught jungle fever - and I don’t mean that in a Halle Berry kind of way. Anyway, I thought I would include one last quote here. It comes to us from the yap hole of another California Democrat - the well known, observably obtuse, laughingstock Maxine Waters. "Mr. Speaker and members, I dedicate my objection to Ohio's electoral votes to Mr. Michael Moore, the producer of the documentary "9/11" and I thank him for educating the world on the threat to our democracy and the proceedings of this House on the acceptance of the electoral college votes for the 2000 presidential election." Huh? This freak just dedicated her objection to a veracity-depraved tub of goo who hates this country! WHAP! I’m just wondering, is it possible to educate by using a big fat pack of lies? Hmmm... There is another rant here, but it is for another day. I included this quote to make a point. All of this hoopla, these objections to President Bush’s certification are being done for one reason. That is to refuel that witless assertion that George Bush’s presidency is illegitimate. Say it with me, "selected not elected." They want that to be the title of his chapter in history. This makes my eyelashes hurt! Shovel on! Timm 03, January, 2005 The new year is here and that means just one thing - hangovers. Well, make that two things - hangovers and that other little tradition of shamelessly lying to ourselves that we call - New Years resolutions. The tradition of New Years resolutions is really nothing more than a built in enabler for procrastinators. It is a procrastinators wet dream. With New Years resolutions they only have to face their problems for about two weeks out of every year. Think about it ...... People quit smoking on the 1st, buy
$200 worth of Nicotrol gum and chew it all on what used to be their first
smoke break at work. By the 5th they are sneaking a puff here
and a puff there and before you know it they are reaching for a butt more
often than Richard Simmons at the YMCA. Then, somewhere between the 19th
and the 21st they are swearing that they are going to quit
smoking at the end of the year. They usually make this statement while
they are slapping their new pack of cigarettes into their palms like a
monkey that is having a conniption fit. Then you have the people who say they are going to loose weight. They buy diet books, tapes, calendars, meals, drinks, gums, bars and wraps. They starve themselves for a month, lose 10 pounds and then the pachyderms celebrate that 10 pound loss by going Takeru Kobayashi on a 15lb bacon, bacon, cheese, triple fudge, ham wrapped, lard stuffed hamburger smeared with sugar butter. Two days later they are standing at the customer service counter, in an old pair of sweats, hoping that they can return their "new" wardrobe. I wonder...do resolutions enter the relationship knowing that their partner is guaranteed to be unfaithful? I resolve to remain resolute in my resolutions. That is unless one of my resolutions gets in the way of one of my foolish whims. Actually, I don’t make resolutions, mainly because I don’t have the equipment or materials to do so. So, how about some predictions for 2005? * President Bush will get most of what he wants in tort reform, but not Social Security reform. * Satellite is going to do for radio what cable did for TV. * The elections in Iraq will be a success and we will begin to withdraw our troops. <look out Iran> * Madonna will change her name and religion again and no one will care because she will still be a whore. * Bill O’Reilly’s head will grow so large that his neck will no longer be able to support it and he will have to spend all the profits from his next book on a special titanium scaffolding to help keep that dome from ripping his neck in half. * Ipod profits will reach $1 gabbagabba zillion! * Kofi Annan will be out before the end of the year. * Michael Moore, while floating around a few miles off the coast of California, will do a cannonball off the front of his yacht causing a Tsunami that will ravage Hollywood killing Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn, Bill Maher, Barbara Streisand and a vacationing Peter Jennings. Ok. That is more of a wish than a prediction. * ESPN magazine will list Takeru Kobayashi as one of its choices for athlete of the year. * Scott Peterson will be beat to death in prison. <hopefully with a shovel> * We will find or kill Osama bin Laden. * We will have fun here. Your predictions are welcome. Timm 13, December, 2004 With the fervor that the press is putting into its reporting on the resignations of President Bush’s cabinet members you’d think that it was the first time in history that a sitting President has ever had a cabinet member resign. It isn’t. Cabinet members resigning after the first term is just as commonplace as resigning to the fact that you are going to need a penicillin shot after your first romantic evening with Madonna. Cabinet appointees don’t view their jobs the way
our legislators do, in that they don’t view the job as a chance to
commandeer a life long position of narcissistic vanity. Cabinet members
accept their positions, do their jobs, resign, and then move on to make
some real money via speeches and books and confiscatory consulting fees.
House and Senate members, on the other hand, accept their nominations and
then do all that they can to make sure that they stay at that position
until they reach the age of a very lucrative retirement.
Power is much more important to these judicial elitists than success in the free market is. They would rather see their name next to Boulevard on a street sign than they would next to Author on a book sleeve! They know that the street sign would remain in the public eye, and be read hundreds of million more time than any tome they might have some ghostwriter pen for them. They suck and they all need to be beat with a shovel. But I digress.... back to the cabinet. The latest brouhaha is over Kerik stepping down as the nominee for the head of Homeland Security. That is just about enough to make me pull my hair out! The left will never let up. He withdrew because of a possible tax discrepancy involving a nanny that had worked for him. Who really cares? I believe he could kick the spider snot out of Tom Ridge. Hell, I could! So who needs Tom to be the person in charge of getting our backs? Hmmm??? The left? Never mind, different rant. Might I remind you guys that the last time this nanny thing happened it was with Zoe Baird. She was Clinton’s first choice for Attorney General. She stepped down after questions were raised about her paying one of her frijoles loving nannies. Blah, blah, Look what we ended up with. Janet - the man beast - Reno. Janet, in her supreme wisdom, gave us 86 innocent crisply dead citizens from the county of Waco. 17 of which were children. The media turned a blind eye to that. I wonder why? Bias, maybe? What in the hell was I ranting about? Oh yeah. President Bush’s cabinet appointees. Ummmmm..... never mind. It is the holiday season........go take a few swings! Timm 06, December, 2004 I was stuck in line at the grocery store this weekend. I don’t want to mention the store by name so we will just call them, Kroger. Anyway, out of the corner of my ear, I caught this one guy rambling to his friend. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I should have jumped over the two isles and went walking tall on this guy with my shovel! But I didn’t. I just listened. The following isn’t word for word, but it is VERY close. Grip, and read on..... ... they will be wondering why they went....why this country sent them over there.....their friends and relatives, even if they die or are quadriplegic or just maimed, will forget about them in a few years.....their death won’t stand out in anyone's mind any more than it would if they had been maimed or died in a car crash down the street.....what they did will be a joke of a memory. ....I am sure that they believe that they have done something brave or what ever for this country.....that is crap...... this whole thing is nothing more than Daddy Bush, Baby Bush and oil.....it is B.S. ......those guys <our soldiers> are taking over a country and killing innocent people......they aren’t heroes, they are robots.... they will come back here and expect all of us to bow down and thank them .....for what? .... a few years from now, those who lost a leg or arm or worse will be sitting in their wheelchairs wondering why....was the loss of a leg worthy of this country? ... Iraq will fade away just like wars always do.....it will be nothing more than history for the next generation..... wars are wars, people don’t sit around thinking about them.....all the dismembered veterans will lay around for a few years before they finally realize that nobody gives a shit about them......this whole thing is a joke.......a fraud...how will they feel about what they have done when ............ It was at this point that I was forced to tune out. Not because this idiots comments were mind numbingly torpid and making me want to put a white knuckle grip on my shovel. No. It was because the acne-impaired girl behind the register had suddenly found it necessary to tell me that she liked my shirt and then inquired as to where I got it. I gave her my <new> standard answer to that type of question, which is; "I found it on eBay." Try that the next time someone starts interrupting your flow of life with their mindless, prodding questions. You guys will be amazed at the silencing effect it has. Anyway, onto this pansies comments. Insanely maddening! If you step up and put one eye against the liberal kaleidoscope, this is the view of America that you will get. A freakish unrecognizable twist of shapes and colors that make less sense than ABC’s decision to air Cop Rock! First - our soldiers know why they are there. We
know why they are there. What is sad is that they will do what they do
even if it means that they might have to give their lives for a total
waste of carbon such as this clod! That troglodyte has the right to say
what he wants and I have the right to disagree with him and we all have
the right to log on here and read my rantings. The American solider is the
one who preserves that right for us. Obviously this butt-sniff doesn’t
understand that. Their friends and relatives will forget them? The memories will be a joke? Was this jackass a member of the Manson Family?? WHAP!!!!! At this point there was enough steam coming out of my ears to power a freaking train!! People don’t just come and go. Their families remember them. Wars don’t just come and go. Their nations remember them. On top of that we remember our soldiers. This idiot may not believe it and some of us may not do it enough, but we do. I am sure that the national holidays which we have set aside to observe and commemorate independence, freedom and veterans are nothing more to this jackass than a free day for him to sit on his couch and freshen the water in his bong. My apologies to all of you serving this country for not showing him the business end of my shovel. Timm 15, November, 2004 I am flypaper for freaks. There is no sense in denying it anymore. It is a fact of life. You could stick me in a room full of 50 women who all looked exactly the same, thus eliminating any physical preference that I might have, and I would end up leaving with the one who had managed to chew through her straightjacket and escape from the "euthanasia is my only cure" wing of the local insane asylum. WHAP! Have you ever been out with someone who would not
shut their mouths for more than a millisecond? Don’t get me wrong, I like
conversation, I’m quite perspicacious when it comes to that. But there is
a difference between conversation and an all out linguistic coup d’état.
I pray that what happened to me this weekend doesn’t happen to you guys. This girl’s ability to blab, as far as I am concerned, is unparalleled. I have been around yammering fools before, but this one took blabbing to a level never before witnessed by man. I thought I would share the nights events with you guys. I don’t want to make this personal, so I won’t mention that her name is Tracy. Ok? On with the story... I’m not sure where the conversation ended and the
monolog began, but I am pretty sure it was right between me saying hel and
lo. After that, it was her acquainting me with trivial matters that
couldn’t have possibly been important to anyone, including herself. It
ended.... hell, I don’t know how it ended because by then I had used the
powers of my shovel to shut down all of my auditory senses.
We were sitting at the table waiting for the waitress to come and take our order- she was busy explaining how a co-worker’s love of the TV show ER was destroying her marriage and ..... blah, blah, blah... I found myself thinking -- this story would be so much more interesting if she would just take her top off. She went from that to telling two stories at once. It was bizarre. I wondered if she moonlighted as an auctioneer. If she didn’t, she definitely missed her life calling. For a few moments, I began to channel Scott Peterson. Her mouth kept moving - she was saying something about something. I wasn’t listening - I was too busy telling myself that it wouldn’t be gentlemanly of me to pull my shovel out and jam it into her chatter hole right there in the middle of the restaurant. I just sat back and watched her word hole open and close. It was then that a tiny break in the oration occurred... "Do you think that American Idol is just a big rigged scam?" she asked. Finally a chance to speak, "Well, I ...." "I think it is a ...... blah, blah, blah, blah....i am speaking satans code and you are stuck with it buddy, blah, blah, blah......." This went on and on. She kept talking and talking and there was nothing that I could do. I just sat, and stared ahead, while visions of shovel lumps danced in my head. Finally the waitress came over and took our
order. A salad was included with our entrees, so the waitress asked what
type of dressing we would like. I asked for Ranch and was about to suggest
Elmers glue for her, but she turned the dressing order into a 5 minute
invective on cholesterol and the effect that prime time TV was having on
our culture. I have no explanation here guys, just relating the story. She was off on her own tangent. GRIP! So the salads arrive and I am thinking --
finally! I will get a break from this vocal onslaught. I was wrong. This
chick was some sort of a culinary ventriloquist. She was able to chew,
swallow, and speak without moving her lips. I have never seen anything
like it. She somehow managed to force a fork full of romaine lettuce,
tomato and bacon bits into her mouth while at the same time describing how
she didn’t like the rug in her neighbors den because it didn’t match the
color of her favorite sweater...or her overnight bag or something like
that. I don’t know. I asked for the check. She continued to hold her own little verbal powwow about something, I don’t know what because I had stopped listening way back --- some where between hel and lo. Through all of the talking I managed to get us
back to her house. I leaned over to give her a goodnight peck on the
cheek. She pulled away and said, "I don’t do that on the first date." I smirked and asked, "How about on the last?" She didn’t get it. I laughed. Shovel on! Timm 08, November, 2004 The mainstream media’s four year campaign to prevent President Bush’s reelection came to an end last Tuesday. Might I say that they have just ran the biggest failure in the history of campaigns? Never in history have so many tried so hard to achieve the same goal and come up so short. (well, that is as long as you don’t include those door knocking Amway freaks.) Despite the media’s unabashed bias against President Bush - John Kerry, politically, was drug out and beaten like Reginald Denny at a red light. John Kerry was not the big looser here, though.
The indoctrination activist that call themselves responsible journalists
are the ones who really lost in this whole thing. Too bad they are too
damn stupid to realize that. John Kerry may have a daunting task at hand
in trying to save face - due mostly to the amount of face that he has to
save - but the ones who are really in need of a long look in the
mirror are the sideshow freaks that represent the mainstream media. The presses quest for John Kerry’s quest for the highest office in the land has cost them much, if not all in some cases, of their credibility. They will never admit to that though, because they think that their credibility is above imputation. Also, they could care less what their audience thinks. At heart, they don’t believe that their audience has the ability to think. They believe their audience needs instruction - not information. Therefore, if you don’t bow down and lap up everything they spit out, you are just an idiot. They won’t take the time to ruminate on a different point of view. Instead, they just assume that any opposing view is the result of someone being too damn dumb to grasp theirs. Them denying their bias to America is one thing, but them denying their bias to themselves is much worse, and it is that denial that has broken the strangle hold they have had on the distribution of information in this country for the last forty plus years. Their bias, much like Janet Jackson’s nipple, has
been put out there, unveiled, for all the world to see. Proof? Just take a
look at their response to president Bush’s reelection. They don’t see it
as a sign < notice I didn’t use the word mandate. Hey, I wasn’t in the
mood to cause France to surrender!) Anyway, they didn’t take his
reelection as a sign that he should go forward and try to push through the
agenda that he ran and was elected on.
The press won’t spend a lot of time reporting on how a majority of Americans voted for his reelection, but they will bludgeon us to death with stories of how all these whack job, third world countries hate him and are upset at us because he was reelected. WHAP! What? Like any of us should waste the blink of an eye thinking about what other countries think about who we elect to run our nation. Just zip it, please! We protect, clothe and feed this planet. If other ‘Lord of the Flies’ countries want to pitch a fit and whine and cry about it, then lets treat them like the spoiled little brats that they are and just cut off their allowances. Stop all the aid we give away and show them what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you. I mean it! Lets just sit back and watch them try to feed and clothe themselves with hatred for us. WHAP! WHAP! The press isn’t being honest with the way they
are reporting this global hatred of President Bush, though. Sure there are
people all over who actually do hate the man, and if you asked them why
you would get such a litany of mindless platitudes that it would make you
want to run out into your backyard and shovel yourself right on into the
next life! Anyway, it isn’t just the man that they hate - it goes beyond
that. The fact of matter is, it is us that they hate, envy, and despise.
Us. The U.S. It is our country, our morals and our way of life that is the true focus of their angst, and that is what fuels their hatred for President Bush. They hate him because he is the absolute epitome of what an American is! It’s that simple. Put that in your shovel and smoke it. His isn’t kowtowing to their every little whim. He has a vision for a freer, safer, and less oppressive world, and he is resolute in sticking to that vision. The world has not seen this sort of conviction since President Reagan. They despised it back then, just like they do today. History has proven them wrong, but they choose to ignore it. It is sad that these people can harbor so much hatred for something that is so inherently good. It is even sadder that our press is more than willing to bend over in ways that would make Richard Simmons blush in their attempt to give credence to that hate. That fact turns my knuckles white. I think the news rooms across this country should be the next targets in our war against terrorism. And I think we should start by carpet bombing Peter Jennings office. Shovel out, Timm 01, November, 2004 Here we are. One day before the election of the most powerful man on this planet and most Americans are more concerned about voting their favorite American Idol onto the next round than they are about voting for the person who will best insure that we will remain free and relatively safe. I guess they don’t realize, or even worse, they just don’t care, that the right to vote was the impetus behind all the bloodshed that created, and has sustained, this great nation. The right to vote is what put all of those white crosses in the Arlington cemetery. Do these freaks not know that? Or is it that they
just do not care? Either way, it should make you keep a watchful eye on
your neighbors and a more resolved grip on your shovel. Think about it.
They don’t comprehend the fact that these elections are what allows them
to continue to lie on their couch and suck back cheese whiz and beer while
they watch all those mindless TV shows. Can President Bush win this election? No. Not in the aristocracy of our mainstream media. Think about it, it has been four years and they still haven’t accepted the fact that he won the first time. Since the day he took office <other than the few weeks after 9-11> the mainstream media has been running the Democrats campaign to get the Republican out and get a Democrat back in. Despite all the facts to the contrary, they will not report on Bush winning and they have yet to question any Democrat on that inane quip, "Selected, not elected." They dismiss that lie as if they didn’t even hear it. They let it float out there because they know it will resonate with the people, the majority, who get their news via two second sound bytes. And they know that letting it be stated without a response will not bode well for their arch enemy - President Bush. If you look at the bombardment of negative news
and angles that have been unleashed on President Bush it should make you
wonder how he isn’t 40 points down in the polls. With all the negative
press he has received you would think that this country is salivating to
have the man impeached - but we aren’t. And, all that negativity is what
it is - the press -- the mainstream media. Those yammering news faces who
claim to be unbiased. Those guys are losing viewers every day, but they
won’t admit it. Their demise is going to be fun to watch, but that is
another rant. Moving on..... If President Bush doesn’t win this big, we are going to have a huge mess on our hands. I’m not saying we - as in Republicans. I am saying we - as in a nation. See....We are at war. We are at war with an enemy whose home turf is anywhere that they might decide to show up. There is no front line in this war. This war is global and we must go wherever the fight takes us. Right now we are keeping that fight on the other side of the globe. That is how it should be. Fight them over there and not over here. That is good. Seek and destroy should be the only message we send to anyone on this planet that might wish to harm us. Let them know that we will come after them! But, there is another part to this war. A part that is just as important - and that part is to spread democracy to countries who have never had it. We are trying to show them what a great and moral concept it is to be able to vote on the issues that effect their lives instead of having those issues decided by a few or even worse, just one. That means that this election must proceed like our elections always have. How will it look to them if we take the results of our vote, reject them, and then leave it up to the decision of nine people? We can’t let that happen. We cannot go through what happened in 2000 again. Not now. The world is watching and it is up to us to do what we do best. Lead! Lead by example. That being said.... I hope this is the last time
that I have to write about John Kerry. How that man has gotten this close
to the presidency is incomprehensible! <Even with the support of an out of
control biased media.> He takes every side of every issue that is put in
front of him. You can listen to what he says, but if you really want to
know John Kerry, just look at what he has done.
You can’t trust what this guy says. Dare I say that he is worse than Clinton? John Kerry lives in the moment, talks in the moment and speaks as the moment necessitates. Could you imagine trying to talk to this guy? I think this exchange could very well take place......... Kerry..."Wow! This red carpet really matches this room." Me.... "Matches? How can you say that? The walls are neon green!" Kerry... "Yes. That is exactly what I am saying, were it not for the walls, this carpet really match this room." HUH??? That is the way this guy talks. I think his poll numbers are media driven. He doesn’t have a base behind him. 70% of his voters aren’t voting for him, they are voting against President Bush. <that is if they show up to vote> I don’t see that working out for Ketchup Boy. We will see. Get out there and VOTE, guys!!! Shovel on! Timm 25, October, 2004 My fellow shovelers, As far as writing a rant goes, I just want you all to know that I have a plan. My plan is for a fairer, more balanced rant. A
rant aimed at those who need it most. The readers. My plan is a rant that
will benefit readers of all levels. My rant will not be some misguided
rampage of rhetoric aimed at the thoughtful upper class who do not need
the mental stimulation. No. My plan lays out a policy for a rant that will
benefit everyone - not just the erudite among us. My plan will increase
the thinking on the cogitating and provide real contemplative relief to
those who need it most. The middle thinkers of America. My plan will not
give special breaks to the most ponderous at the expense of the obtuse. I have a plan to write a smarter rant. I will assemble a communicative coalition. A coalition of verbs, adverbs, adjectives and nouns to insure that we have global support from all the words. Thus, my plan will eliminate unilateral action and bring aboard words other than F**k and You. My plan will eliminate these such bromides and will also insure that we can win the peace in the modern day lexicon. If you will just look at my plan, you will see that the plan is very well planned out, and it is a plan that everyone, not just the cerebrally affluent, can plan on planning on. My plan reaches out to everyone and not just the select few who can afford to ruminate whenever they want. May I say again that my plan will provide relief to those who need it the most. Those who can’t afford to think because they are too busy combing the tabloids for the newest weight loss pills or the latest Elvis sighting. If I can, will you allow me to go back to my original statement and say that I have a plan. If you will just look at my plan you will see that I have planned for any future plans that might need to be planned for. Also, might I add that - if I didn’t plan for it, it didn’t actually happen. Going forward, my plan will include a rant and a
shovel for everyone. My plan insures that I will stay focused on the rant at hand. I will not be distracted and have my focus on the rant be diverted by my greed for expression. I will never allow my focus to go from finishing my rant to graffitiing my bedroom walls with a crayon or penning a love letter to my girlfriend, who happens to be 100% latex. I will be smarter. I will not do that. I will keep my focus where it should be. The rant! My plan will insure that my rant will pass the muster of the U.N. My plan fully supports my rant, although I think it might be the wrong rant, at the wrong place, at the wrong time. I have a plan for a safer rant. Which is something that former planers didn't take the time to plan for. Will the rant be worth it? That will depend on the outcome. <how many of you got that?> In conclusion, just let me reassure you that I have a plan for a rant that is better than my opponents plan. A rant that will cure all the ills known to man. That is my plan for my rant. It is a plan, and I am planning to stick to it. Shovel on! Timm 18, October, 2004 Fraud. The word is out there. Expect to get sick of hearing that word, in all of its tenses, over the next few weeks. The Democrats have already made sure that it is there for liberal media consumption. Fraud. You might want to work in the word suppression, too. Especially if you are a regular viewer of the BET. The liberals and the Democrats still haven’t
gotten over the 2000 elections. Have you heard the latest insane comments
from Florida? "Selected not elected", is a phrase that has been coined by the Democrats and is a phrase that is never challenged by the liberal media. It is never challenged because it only helps their cause. They are very aware of one of the basic axioms of life - if you repeat something enough, people will start to believe it. Think about it, there are millions of people out there wandering around thinking that Keanu Reeves can actually act! Selected not elected. The people producing American Idol are missing out on an advertising goldmine with that slogan. The fact of the matter is, in 2000, Al Gore was the one who took the vote to court. Which is fine, I guess? But, the reason the Supreme Court got involved was because the Democrats, and the courts in Florida, wanted to redefine how the votes were counted. They wanted to change the rules in the middle of the game. That isn’t how things work. Anything for power though, huh? So here we are, 4 years later and they are
already "preemptively" trying to set up voter fraud. I thought they didn’t
like to take preemptive measures! Hmm? But they are, and they keep running
the ‘selected not elected’ mantra in hopes that no one will believe that
President Bush was actually elected to the Presidency. It is sad, and if the media weren’t
so biased they would call them on it.
They never will though. In fact, they will go just the opposite. So, you guys had better get ready for an all out attack on President Bush. They are going to be rabid jackals from now until election day. Not because they want Kerry and Edwards in, but just because they want BUSH out. Edwards has done nothing other than drive doctors insurance rates through the roof. That is it. His state did not like him. He stood no chance of being reelected to the Senate. That is why he jumped into the presidential pool. But the media will ignore that and extol his virtues of being smart and good looking. WHATEVER! He sounds like Forrest Gump hopped up on ginkgo biloba! And as far as the looks go - he is good looking in that - "I swear to God I am not gay!" kind of way. Getting John Kerry in office would be a dream come true for the liberal media. They want Kerry because he will, by his nature, exonerate them form being one-sided and biased. He takes every single side of every single issue - that alone would leave them being able to claim that they are giving you not only both - but ALL - sides of the issues. WHAP!!! No bias, no truth! No bias, no truth! This stuff is just white knuckle gripping maddening!! If President Bush doesn’t win decisively you guys can expect to wait until Thanksgiving for the lawyers to sort this thing out. I don’t think that will happen, though. Don’t buy into the press’ slant. Take your shovel to the polls! Timm 11, OCTOBER, 2004 These debates are a joke. We don’t need to have them. If, by this point, you don’t know where President Bush stands you are idiotic and should not be allowed to vote. If, by this point, you actually think you know where John Kerry stands you are uncommonly beyond idiotic and should not be allowed to vote, dress yourself, or operate chalk! I think the town hall setting helped President
Bush because he always seems more comfortable when he doesn’t have a
podium in front of him. He does better when he is just cut loose to talk
face-to-face with people.
Sea Biscuit, errr... excuse me, I mean Senator Kerry, on the other hand, looked like he was disgusted by the fact that he was having to respond to all the plebeians. He actually looked like Lurch on that stage - like each question was yet another ring of the doorbell that he loathed having to answer. FREAK! He showed himself. The bad part about the town hall setting was that all of the townspeople who were allowed to ask the questions had apparently reached the town hall via the SHORT BUS! WHAP! My God! Could they have been any more verbally challenged? It was like watching a 3rd grader reading in front of their class for the first time! And these people were reading their own questions! Hello? I just have to ask, why were they reading their own questions? Were they too damn stupid to remember what they wanted to ask? And if that was the case, why were they even allowed to be one of the questioners? Man, how maddening! It makes me want to set my shovel on annihilate and start swinging for the fences. I found that to be beyond tedious. It was even more tedious than Charlie resting those glasses so pretentiously on the end of his beak. Whap, whap, whap! Kerry, once again, kept saying that he would have
done things differently. That statement is nothing more than pabulum for
the mentally homeless. Anyone can look back at history and say that they
would have done something differently. Tell us what you would have done,
Mr. Ed! History is festooned with people who can look back at a situation and say that they would have handled it differently. We all can. That is such a vapid claim. What would ketchup boy do? Try and form a coalition? His is already bashing our coalition members by calling them "window dressing" and the "the bribed"! WHAP!!! This guys spin is about to make me go Margo Kidder on a neighbors woodpile! Anyway, another thing that bothered me was that we had a president that calls himself a conservative, standing up there talking about wanting an entitlement program for seniors drug prescriptions. That program will be the largest expansion of welfare since the 1960's. Not good. Not good at all. Then, on the other hand we had the most liberal guy in the senate saying that we weren’t spending enough and then turning around and complaining about deficit spending!! WHAP! Insane! This stuff should have people everywhere putting the white knuckle grip on their shovels! I digress. There is only one point that we should be concerned about right now - and, actually, if we don’t concern ourselves with it, all other points will become moot. That point is TERRORISM!! The terrorists have to be dealt with! Kerry won’t, President Bush will. Kerry would try and "deal" with them. President Bush seeks to eliminate them. I’m not sure about your experiences, but from what I have observed - a dead terrorist is inherently nonviolent. Timm has spoken! Lets move on to a few post debate quotes from the morons in the press. Here is one from our favorite guy, Dick...err, I mean Peter Jennings, "... let us look at the ABC News poll, and first
of all, let me I could go off on a rant about who would be home on a Friday night, but I won’t. I just want to point out the numbers. 35% were democrats and 32% were republicans. 44% thought Kerry won and 41% were for President Bush. WHAP! Do I have to do the numbers for you? 3 % more were democrats and 3% more thought Kerry won. That is a wash. This poll is a total joke! Peter is an idiot and really, really, really, needs to be beat with a shovel. Even more insane, a quote from John Roberts of CBS, "no question that President Bush was amped up tonight, and that plays well to partisans, the party faithful out on the campaign trail. How is it going to play with the undecided voter, though? I mean, is it the sort of thing that, you know, little kids are going to jump behind the couch and hide from him?" What? Jump behind the couch and hide? What in the hell are you talking about, man? That is the musings of an idiot! Extemporaneous thought is not a strong suit of the media. Remove the teleprompter, these guys lose it and you see just what talking heads these people are. Child services should look into this clown. Why does he still have a job???? Oh, never mind, it is CBS news and they still haven't fired Dan Rather. Sticking with CBS... how about this from Bob Schieffer, who will be moderating the next John Kerry glamour show, errr I mean, presidential debate: "So I think who you thought won will depend a lot on who you liked going into this." This guy is going to be a fair moderator, huh? WHAP! Keep your shovel on you, guys! Timm 04, October, 2004
No rant today. I took a little time to relax and play with chili. We didn't win, but we looked good doing it. I will rant tomorrow. Timm 27, September, 2004 For about ten minutes now, I have been sitting here staring at a blank Word Perfect page that has done nothing more than yawn back at me.<and to think that they claim that all of this software is "helpful"> Anyway, I can’t decide what to write about and I find myself wondering - is it really writing if no one reads it? I guess it is and I guess Michael Moore is fat even if no one can find a scale to put him on. This brings me to my next point - Dan Rather.
(Don’t ask, just go with me) Obviously it isn’t news if it isn’t true, but
is it news if everyone believes it? Danny boy seems to think so, and he so
wanted that to be true with his story about President Bush. In the old
days, it would have been accepted without question. But, today, with the
technology, it isn’t. That is Dan’s conundrum. He actually thinks that the world revolves around him. He hasn’t figured out that he isn’t any different than the rest of us. Well, other than the fact that he gets paid to sit there in a suit and run his blather hole in front of a television camera while a mob of interns run around trying their best to act as his human bidet. (Did I spell that right? Will one of you guys let me know!) Sorry, back to my point. He isn’t this super intellectual that we should all consider ourselves to be so blessed to listen to. He is nothing more than a blow hole that you can find on any corner of any street. And guess what – he is starting to realize that; and he hates it! <I need to beat Peter Jennings with a shovel, just on principle! But that is another rant> Anyway, this is why he, and all the others, have gone from caring about being the most trusted to caring about being the most watched. The news is no longer about the news, it is about ratings. That pretty much eliminates the "news" factor. Doesn’t it? Bye, bye networks! So, anyway, check back here if you want to know what is going on. No B.S. On a personal note -- Dan strikes me as a person who talks to himself in the third person, with a FRENCH accent!! He probably has an Edward R. Morrow voodoo doll in his dressing room, which he constantly prods in hopes that he can get at him from the great beyond. Jackass! He probably eats his own boogers too! I can see this guy talking to a mirror because he thinks that he is going to inform the reflection. Resign you idiot. I’m just being childish now. Sorry – not!! WHAP! Timm 20, September, 2004 Dan Rather needs to open his next broadcast by saying, "Hello. I am Dan Rather. I have completely lost control of my mental faculties. This is no longer news, it is, simply, the musings of a psychotic clod who carries a George Bush voodoo doll on his person at all times. I am batty and should not be left alone with sharp objects. Please help me, daddy!" This guy’s cheese has slid off of his cracker! Dan can’t handle what is happing to the media. None of these guys can.
They don’t know how to cope with the fact that their word is no longer
beyond cross-examination. We are seeing a change in the media. You could say we are witnessing history, because the media as we have known it is on its way out. Might we see truth start to enter into the news equation here? Might we finally separate fact from opinion? Remember when news was based on facts and not ‘getting both sides?" I don’t, I’m too young, but I hear those days existed at one time. Don’t get me wrong here, guys. I still want both sides on the opinion issues - we need that to keep our country healthy and strong. I am just sick of the liberal media trying to create two sides for the facts. I am sick of them looking at the facts and saying, ‘yeah, but!..." and then presenting things that ‘might’ have happened just so they can give us "the other side." That is just crap! Get the story, get to the bottom of it and give us the facts. We are sick of reporting where the facts are nothing more than an excuse to get "both sides" of the story. Man, that makes my shovel glow white hot! There are two sides to all opinions. Actually, there are more than that if you factor in conspiracy theorists, the mentally insane and anyone who watches the Doctor Phil show on a regular basis. Hmmm... that was redundant, wasn’t it? But, I digress. Back to the facts. Facts are pretty much, straight down the middle, one-sided doohickeys that look the same no matter what side you are standing on. Facts don’t need both sides. The media does not understand that, but they are about to be slapped in the face with that precept. Twenty years ago they would have gotten away with this. Easily. That is
not true today and they don’t they don’t like it. They can’t believe
anyone would have the audacity to question THEM. The way Dan Rather and
CBS is reacting to the forgery scandal is a flagrant example of how they
honestly believe that they are above challenge. Here is his attempt at a
CYA on the forged documents..... "We also presented documents for the first time which indicated that once Mr. Bush was accepted into the Guard, he failed to live up to the requirements of his service, including following an order. We reported that the documents were written by Lieutenant Bush's National Guard squad commander, the late Colonel Jerry Killian, who passed away in 1984. In the past week, those documents have been subjected to extraordinary scrutiny and criticism." Extraordinary?? Extraordinary scrutiny and criticism?? WHAP! Hello? Dick....errr.... I mean, Dan - How would you describe what you are doing with President Bush’s National Guard records? Oh, I forget, the priggish prince of public notice actually refers to it as journalism! Jackass! The press has been on this National Guard issue since George Bush ran
for the governorship of Texas in 1994! It was brought up again in 2000
when he was running against Al, I’ll give you a dollar if you’ll like me,
Gore. Do the math – that is five elections! Normally, I’d say yes, but not when you have an agenda. Which Dan clearly does. Rather: "You've seen the memos that we broadcast, these memos that we
got." Marion Carr Knox: "I did not type those memos." Rather: "You didn't type these memos?" Knox: "No. And it's not the form that I would have used. And there are
words in there that belong to the Army, not to the Air Guard. We never
used those terms." Rather: "With these memos, you know that you didn't type them?" Knox: "I know that I didn't type them. ....." Rather: "Few, if any things that I ask you about will be more important
at this point. You say you didn't type these memos, definitely you didn't
type these memos? Knox: "Not these particular ones." WHAP!!! Shut up, Dan!!! Dan is not conducting an interview here - he is emoting. Read that exchange again. If that were a Saturday Night Live skit it would be hilarious. But, sadly, it not. It is the yammering of a critic who has yet to realize that his days of uncontested criticisms are over. He just asked her the same question four times, in four different ways. Why? He was trying to set this up so that it didn’t matter if the memos were real or not. He wanted to deflect that fact. He goes on to try and focus on the assumption that the memos "could" have been written because President Bush could have done what the memos said he did. WHAP!!! Dan’s conclusion.... And trust me, you might want to distance yourself from your shovel before you read this, because it might make you turn the thing on yourself! I have a few comments, but some of it I just have to let slide or I might end up having a life ending aneurism! "A few personal thoughts on this story we've reported tonight. We shall continue to aggressively investigate the story of President Bush's service in the National Guard and the story of the documents and memos in Colonel Killian's file. <note...with him looking into it, it is "aggressively investigate". With anyone else, it is "extraordinary scrutiny and criticism"! WHAP!> Are those documents authentic, as experts consulted by CBS News continue to maintain? Or were they forgeries or re-creations, as Marion Carr Knox and others believe? Hmmm.... "as Marion Carr Knox and others believe?" She just told you,
repeatedly, that she did not type them, you idiot! She is the one who
would have typed then and she just told you that she didn’t! So, if she
didn’t type them how could they be anything other than forgeries? "We will keep an open mind, and we will continue to report credible evidence and responsible points of view as we try to answer the questions raised about the authenticity of the documents. Having said that, we do feel it's important to underscore this point: Those who have criticized aspects of our story have never criticized the heart of it, the major thrust of our report,......." Sorry, I can’t take anymore. The thrust of his report was based on false documents. He is asking everyone to believe something just because he so desperately wants it to be true. Jeezz.......there isn’t a 12-step program out there that could tear this guy out of denial. He isn’t going to accept this and the longer he hangs on the worse it is going to get. Which is a good thing for us because it leaves these people less and less room to deny their bias. You have to wonder though - What is next? Is he going to get a Bush impersonator to lie in front of a camera and then report it as news? And then, when he is caught, make a statement like... "Apparently, as many have suggested or pointed out, that wasn’t actually President Bush. But I think we can all agree that President Bush could have used those words in any sequence at any time in his life. No one has ever criticized that aspect, that very truth, of the report...." 13, September, 2004 It appears that Dan Rather has been caught with his pants down. My God!! Isn’t that a traumatic visual? Sorry about that, guys - I should have worded that differently. If you think about it --- don't you get the feeling that Dan is the type of person who buys his underwear at garage sales? Anyway. Out of all the major networks, CBS has been the most unabashed in slanting their news coverage towards removing President Bush from office. It has been nothing less than obnoxious - but this latest attempt goes way beyond ridiculous. They knew that these documents were questionable, but they ran with the story anyway. Dan knew it, but he also knew that the allegation would get more coverage than the retraction. If there is one. Hey, they act with relatively no impunity, so, in their eyes, why not go for it? The liberals in the media just refuse to realize that they no longer have a monopoly on the dissemination of information in our country. Thus, it surprises them when someone questions anything that they say. It sends them into an "I know you are, but what am I?" hissy fit! They point fingers at people they disagree with. They point fingers at people who question their disagreements. They point fingers at people who point out their untruths. Liberals would need to grown another arm to point any more fingers than they already do. But, I digress. Let me give you some of Dan’s
quotes on the issue, followed by my assertion of the truth behind what he
said.
"There were attacks today on the CBS News 60 Minutes report this week raising questions about President Bush's Vietnam-era time in the Texas Air National Guard." Ok. So, someone questioning the authenticity of your story is an "attack", but your questioning the authenticity of President Bush’s story is a "report." You can’t have it both ways, anchor boy. I just have to wonder, how do these people keep their fingers out of their noses long enough to write, produce, and report this stuff? "Today, on the Internet and elsewhere, some people, including many who are partisan political operatives, concentrated not on the key questions of the overall story, but on the documents that were part of the support of the story. They allege that the documents are fake." This is so typical of liberals. He thinks that the charges are more important than the facts. As a matter of fact, he wants you to totally ignore the facts and come to a decision based solely on the allegations. I would hate to be in a courtroom where he was the judge. Hell, I’d hate to be in a room with him period. I imagine he smells like an acrid mixture of scotch and Lysol, and probably has the propensity to ramble about things that mean nothing to anyone. Including himself. Anyway, back to my point. Truth. This is one of the problems with the media - they don’t care about the facts, they just want a story. They don’t report the news, they attempt to create it. It is shovel swinging maddening, but it is also a sign of desperation from these attention starved megalomaniacal freaks. Lets move on... "Some analysts outside CBS say they believe the typeface on these memos is New Times Roman,' which they claim was not available in the 1970s. But the owner of the company that distributes this typing style, says it has been available since 1931." Nice half truth there, satchel face. It is true
that the Times New Roman typeface has been around since the 30's. As a
matter of fact, it was a favorite of newspapers around the country. "Document and handwriting examiner Marcel Matley analyzed the documents for CBS News. He says he believes they are real, but is concerned about exactly what is being examined by some of the people now questioning the documents. Because deterioration occurs each time a document is reproduced, and the documents being analyzed outside of CBS have been photocopied, faxed, scanned and downloaded, and are far removed from the documents CBS started with, which were also photocopies." What???? Deterioration caused the font to change? Man, guys, this nut job is spinning like the Tazmanian Devil with a nostril full of crystal methamphetamine! This is just shameless denial. They are going to claim that it wasn't their fault that they were given misinformation. Hmmm.... This from the people who scream every night that Bush lied when he reported and acted on the misinformation he was given. They made a mistake, yet he lied. WHAP!!!!!! <note -- I don't think he was given misinformation - the search is not over.> There is more, but I think I have made my point. Well, how about two more points, just to shovel the nail into the coffin. CBS called retired Maj. General Hodges, who was the Killian’s <the guy who supposedly wrote the memos> supervisor and read him excerpts from what they told him was a "handwritten" document. Hodges replied, "well if he wrote them that's what he felt." NONE OF IT WAS HANDWRITTEN!!!! CBS lied to him! --- and then they ran with it any way. So, how did CBS respond to this discrepancy?? "We believed Col. Hodges the first time we spoke with him. We believe the documents to be genuine. We stand by our story and will continue to report on it." They are stating that they believed his response to their lie. That is their official stance. HELLO! Go take a few warm up grips on your shovel!! This is just maddening!! Second, and lastly, the man’s son and widow are calling the memos crap. They say it would be totally out of character for the guy. I guess that means nothing to CBS. They have an agenda and the truth can be damned! My knuckles are white! Timm 6, September, 2004 Personally, I think the Republican National Convention could have ended last Wednesday night after Senator Zell Miller’s speech. I don’t think there was a reason for President Bush, or anyone else for that matter, to elaborate on the vision for America’s future because Senator Miller said it all. And he said it with a conviction that you aren’t going to get from any of the modern day politicians - including President Bush. The liberal Democrats, and their myrmidons in the
press, are trying to stick the "hate" tag on Senator Miller’s speech.
Don’t you guys find it odd that the unbiased media only places the
hate label on Republicans? If Democrats have something to say it is
"criticizing", but if a Republican offers an opinion it is an "attack." No
bias there, huh? They question why Senator Miller doesn’t just switch
parties, yet when John Mc Cain, nationally known whack job, decides to
walk step in step with the Democratic left they say nothing.
Anyway, as much as the press wants you to believe it -- there was no hate in Senator Miller’s speech. None. There was anger, though. A completely warranted anger that has been corroborated by the actions of his party over the last four years. Any right thinking Shoveler can see that. His party has put the security of our nation behind their desire to have power. In essence, they, in a frothing partisan lust, have decided that their ability to lay claim to their public titles means more to them than the security of our nation. That is a white knuckle gripper! "President Roosevelt, in his speech that summer, told America "all private plans, all private lives, have been in a sense repealed by an overriding public danger." In 1940, Wendell Wilkie was the Republican nominee. And there is no better example of someone repealing their "private plans" than this good man. He gave Roosevelt the critical support he needed for a peacetime draft, an unpopular idea at the time. And he made it clear that he would rather lose the election than make national security a partisan campaign issue." To the 2004 Democrats nothing means more than getting elected. Our security means nothing to them. They have placed themselves in a position where good news for our nation means bad news for them. An improving economy equals bad news for them, an improving job market is bad news for them, and a successful war effort is bad news for them. If two more towers were to collapse, killing thousands of Americans, they would run to the cameras and claim that this administration didn't do enough - after they had voted against everything that the administration tried to do. WHAP!!! We have to lose for them to win. This shouldn’t surprise you guys though. They are liberals and liberals thrive on the concept of you being dependant on them for every aspect of your very existence. Liberals want to rule, not govern. Sadly, that is the modern day Democrat, and that is why Senator Miller is so angry. What you saw was not Zell Miller, the politician.
What you saw was Zell Miller the proud, God fearing, Marine. A man who
puts our country above his trivial little party affiliation. A man who is
sick of watching his party drop principles for power. A man who cares more
about his family than he does politics. You saw a man, not a politician.
You saw a man call a spade a spade. But, take a second, now that I think about it, you did see Zell the politician. You saw what a politician was like before focus groups, political correctness, and polls. You saw someone expressing exactly what they believed - not caring one tiny whisker if you disagreed with them or not. Amen. I loved it! We need more men like him "For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag. No one should dare to even think about being the Commander in Chief of this country if he doesn't believe with all his heart that our soldiers are liberators abroad and defenders of freedom at home. But don't waste your breath telling that to the leaders of my party today. In their warped way of thinking America is the problem, not the solution. They don't believe there is any real danger in the world except that which America brings upon itself through our clumsy and misguided foreign policy. It is not their patriotism — it is their judgment that has been so sorely lacking." After that last line, the internationally renowned, hoarse faced, supreme commander of both sides of every issue, John Kerry complained about "them" questioning his patriotism. Hello?? "It is not their patriotism........" Notice how the media just overlooked what Zell
said, and let Kerry’s claim go on without question? Zell just said that he
wasn't questioning Kerry's patriotism, yet they <the truth seeking
liberals in the press> allowed Kerry's claim to go by, unquestioned. No
bias there, huh? That is flat out annoying! This race is over, guys. But it is going to be FUN to watch! Hop aboard and stay with me. Timm 30, August, 2004 How did we get to this point? Might we see our VERY FIRST AMENDMENT disappear because of the 2004 elections? WHAP! It makes me sick! We have two candidates seeking the highest office in the land – or world for that matter - and both of them want to silence the people who they claim that they want to represent. Tell me that doesn’t make your shovel oscillate in a seek and destroy manner! I blame all of this on that idiot John Mc Cain. He jumped into bed with Russ Feingold and after their little political love affair was consummated, out popped the Campaign Finance Reform Bill. That bill is a blatant slap in the face to our first amendment. "Congress shall make no law ..... abridging...... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." This so called "Reform" tossed that away! Worse than that, President Bush signed that heinous piece of crap! Even worse than that, The Supreme Court upheld that dung laden doctrine! MY GOD!!! whap!!!! I know, or at least I believe, that President Bush only signed the bill because he fully expected that The Supremes would declare it to be unconstitutional. I can kind of see - politically - why he did it, but I totally disagree with it. Politics be damned when you are talking about our VERY FIRST FREAKING AMENDMENT!! He should have vetoed that thing the very second it hit his desk! But he didn’t and that puts a check mark in my "reasons not to vote for Bush" column. Personally, I would have picked up my shovel and chased the messenger down the hall and out onto Pennsylvania Avenue! Apparently, President Bush just grinned and said, ‘welcome.’ So much for his oath to uphold our constitution, huh? WHAP! Sorry, that just infuriates me! More on that in a bit, first I want to tell you about the 527's. At first, the Libs < Democrats> had no problem with the 527's. Why? Because 37 out of the 50 groups that were formed to funnel "soft" money were funneling it to the Democrats. So, the Bush bashing went on without question from the liberal media and they all thought that the new law was just the bee’s knees. Apparently, taking the money out of politics only counts when you are silencing Republicans, because the ‘soft’ special interest money pouring into the Kerry coffers was around $186 million, compared to the $18 million that was going President Bush’s way. Over 88% of all the soft money was spent on Kerry and no one said a word. On top of that, most of the money was provided by just three people - Peter Lewis, George Soros and Steven Bing. These guys collectively spent about $33.4 million hoping that they could overthrow the Bush administration and BUY the White House for John Kerry. I guess that doesn’t count in the medias eyes. No bias there, huh, guys? WHAP!!!!! So, instead, the media has chosen to focus on a couple of hundred thousand that a home builder from Texas donated to The Swift Boat Captain’s for Truth campaign. Truth be known, those ads are rooted in the truth and that is why they have caused such a huge splash in the kiddie pool that is known as the liberal intellect. A 300-pound monkey just cannon-balled into their ankle deep intellectual waters and they are now running for their towels. As far as the swift boat guys go....Kerry doesn’t respond truthfully, he doesn’t refute them, and he won’t denounce them. He just shrugs and calls them liars and the media goes right along without question. No bias. Hmmm.... I wonder how many times they will bring up President Bush’s AWOL charges again? Anyway, back to what I wanted to say at the beginning...... President Bush has now put forth legislation that he hopes will put an end to the 527 groups. Kerry agrees with him. WHAP WHAP WHAP!!!!!! I guess neither of these jackasses comprehend the 1st amendment. This wouldn’t surprise me coming from Kerry, but from President Bush? It blows my mind! Although, this will be the second time that he has spit on the 1stamendment. GRIP! GRIP!!! ? Essentially, by proposing this, he is saying that
he doesn’t want to allow us to pool our money in order to put out an add
that might be different from the view of the elected officials. He wants
the government and the media to control our debates. Our opinions will be
damned! The candidates and the media will decide the issues in the
elections. Our concerns mean nothing! That sucks! Can you smell what the government is cooking? Timm 23, August, 2004 This Kerry guy has no core. He doesn’t believe in anything and he doesn’t stand for anything. He is the guy at the party who just wants to make everyone happy, so he shakes your hand, regurgitates your name and tells you that he has been a <insert team name> fan forever! He is the guy that most of us wanted to take a swing at -- if for no other reason than to see the look on his horse face. This guy has taken more positions than Amber Lynn in ‘Around the World in 80 Ways’!! He is a joke, and if we had a true unbiased media, that would be shown for all of us to see! But I digress...... May I offer a few flip-flop quotes for you guys? Just last week, President Bush announced plans for a huge redeployment/withdrawal of American troops from Europe and South Korea. Of course, John - what the f*** did I say yesterday- Kerry opposed President Bush. This is a quote from August, 18, 2004. One word from this quote should jump out at you guys. One little word. "Why are we withdrawing unilaterally 12,000 troops from the Korean
peninsula at the very time that we are negotiating with North Korea, a
country that really has nuclear weapons. This is clearly the wrong signal
to send at the wrong time."
Did you guys pick up on the one word? UNILATERALLY! That is the code word that these guys have been using since we started the war on terrorism. ‘Unilaterally’, has been their little parlance of pandemonium since we moved the war on terrorism from Afghanistan into Iraq. What does unilaterally withdrawing our troops mean? They are OUR troops, ketchup boy! How else are we supposed to pull them out? Do you want us to take some of the Korean troops with us? What a moron! Anyway, the lefties in the media have redefined unilateral to mean ‘without France and Germany.’ What a joke! Can I be honest for a second, guys? The next time France or Germany will join us in a war effort will be when we go into their countries to remove the people who are attacking them!! That is it, plain and simple! UP YOURS FRANCE! UP YOURS GERMANY! Sorry, got off on a tangent there. Anyway, that was Kerry's stance then, but on August 1st, just 17 days earlier, he said..... "I will have significant, enormous reductions in the level of troops .. .In the Korean peninsula perhaps, in Europe perhaps. I will have a significant, enormous reduction in the level of troops. We will probably have a continued presence of some kind, certainly in the region. If the diplomacy that I believe can be put in place can work; I think we can significantly change the deployment of troops not just there but elsewhere in the world. In the Korean peninsula, perhaps, in Europe, perhaps. There are great possibilities open to us. But this administration has had very little imagination." Do you think the press will point out the dichotomy? I’m going to cast a shovel in the ‘no’ column. They are too biased to run that down. They know that this candidate is, in essence, the insane uncle that the family is always making excuses for. The one who shows up only because someone forgot to put the padlock on the basement door. They will smile and act like he is normal, knowing that no one is believing it! WHAP! The mainstream press is not going to give the swift boat guys a fair shake, they aren’t going to report anything negative about Kerry. They aren’t even going to look into the validity of his claims. In his book, Kerry claimed to be in Cambodia in 1968 and rambled on about Nixon lying to America, telling them that he wasn’t there. Well, he wasn’t!! And, check your facts people in the press!! Nixon wasn’t even President then!! Hello??? That is an easy fact to look up! But they won’t, because they are too biased to admit that they are biased! WHAP!! I just went to the Media Research Center and did a little search. Between ABC, NBC, and CBS, there were 75 stories this year questioning President Bush’s National Guard service, but there were only 9 detailing any of the Swift Vets’ anti-Kerry charges. No bias there, huh? Also, they never questioned the fact that he never spent one day in the hospital for any of his three purple hearts! He has never disputed that. He has never disputed anything that these swift boat guys are saying. He just calls them liars. If they are lying, prove it. It should be simple, John. Bring out the evidence to refute it! This guy doesn’t have the guts to stand up for himself against his peaceful fellow countryman. Do you actually think that he would stand up for US in the face of some maniacal terrorists? NO! WHAP!!!! Timm 16, August, 2004 What to rant about? I don’t really have one in me. Can you belie that? Me at a loss for words. I need mental Viagra! I apologize to all of you. I will endeavor to do better next week. How about some 'top of the mind' thoughts. Will Democrats claim that President Bush’s anti-abortion stance is only going to lead to bigger traffic jams on our commutes into work? The unemployment rate is less than it was in 1996, when the medias lord and savior, Bill Clinton was in office. They praised the economy then, yet the trounce President Bush over those same numbers. That is shovel swinging maddening. What would happen if the unemployment rate fell to zero? I’ll tell you what would happen - the Democrats would claim that we are working the American people to death! I rarely eat fast food, but I pulled up to a Taco Bell the other day. They had all these different combo meals that you could order by number. Maybe it is just me, but shouldn’t every item on their menu be number 2? I think these swift boat veterans have put a dent in John Kerry’s
campaign. Imagine what it would do if the media covered them the way they
do every Bush detractor that turns up? Also, don’t you find it a little
strange that Kerry is running on his four months in Vietnam and completely
ignoring his twenty years in the Senate? So, he wants to run on his war record. A war that he and his ilk hated, despised and called immoral. These Birkenstock wearing freaks keep calling us war mongers when we try to stop despots from killing their people. What are we if we stop raspiest? Abstinence mongers? My God, SHUT UP! You are going down big time, Kerry! I really need to get a new computer, because lately mine has been crashing more than Billy Joel. Is there anyone in sports more annoying than Chris Burman? I really wish a ham sandwich would go Mama Cass on that fat load! I wonder what effect it would have on the earths rotation if he and Michael Moore stood in the same spot eating from a fifty gallon drum of Beenie Weenies? WHAP!!! My name is Bond... Gold Bond. <ok, sorry, a lot of you didn’t get that.> I will do better next week, guys. Thank you for stopping by the page! Timm 9, August, 2004 Why does this sort of thing always happen to me?
I go to the store just to grab a few items and I always end up in line
behind some chick who writes a check. And it always takes forever!
Maddening! Well, this weekend I got behind a lady that topped all of them.
So, I run into the grocery store just to grab a few things to make a meal for myself. Chicken, a couple of spices, etc. Anyway, I go to check out and I get in line behind one of the largest women that I have ever seen. She hasn't missed any meals, if you know what I mean. As a matter of fact if any of you guys have missed any meals I think I found the person who took them. Usually when I see something that large is has Goodyear written on the side of it. Let me describe this lady to you. She was wearing an old and faded Molly Hatchet tour T-shirt and skin tight running shorts. <sorry, I forgot to include vomit bags for this rant!> Her hair was peroxide blonde and was styled in a way that I can only describe as, Medusa. Every one of her chubby little fingers had a ring on it and her ears were adorned with the biggest earrings that I have ever seen. I am pretty sure they were once the hubcaps of a 1980 Camero. She was buying a bag of Doritos, 2 packs of smokes and a two liter Mr. Pibb. I know, you guys are thinking the same thing I was thinking. Freaking health nut! HA! So she places her items on the counter and starts telling the cashier about a rash she had, but that it was almost gone because the doctor had given her some "stuff". At least I think that is what she said. She was going Lizzy Borden on the English language. I mean butchering it. I have never heard anyone use the word "ain't" that much in my life. I think she actually completed one sentence using nothing but that word. It was hard to read the look on the cashiers face, but it was something between, 'am I on Candid Camera' and 'oh dear Lord, please take me right now!' The cashier rings up the items and gives the
lady the total. The lady takes the saddle bag that she is using as a purse
and sets it up on the counter. I swear to you guys, this "purse" was big
enough that I could use it to pack for a two week vacation.
Finally she states, "Oh, here
it is." Her gelatinous arm begins exiting her satchel, then out comes her
hand and clutched in her dumpy Oh, it gets better. The girl has to take the check to the manager to get it cleared. I am assuming that she had to do this because the check was from the bank of, THIS SUCKER IS GOING TO BOUNCE. I'm not sure where the manager was, but judging from how long this took I am going to assume he was vacationing in Hawaii. I just stood there looking at this freak. I wondered what she did for a living. What ever it was they must be paying her in pork chops and apple sauce. Finally the girl came back, the large lady waddled out and my life returned to normal. Timm 02, August, 2004 "I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty!" Right. WHAP! Sure John, and we all know that your reporting for duty will include filing for a purple heart every time you get a paper cut.  Then,
after three, you will file to get out and turn the whole thing
over to Edwards who will just end up taking the entire nation to court and
suing us for 'emotional damages' after his poll numbers fall.
Reporting for duty. Can we drop the Vietnam references? Isn't it odd that these same people told us, for eight years, that Clinton's Vietnam record didn't matter? Isn't it odd that these people are the same people who spat in the faces of our soldiers when they returned home from Vietnam? These people hated that war, called our soldiers baby killers and now they are saying that one of the so called baby killers should be respected for his baby killing service. They spent the Vietnam era trying to paint our soldiers as savages and now they are turning around and trying to tell us how great this guy is. These freaks have no core, they live in the moment. It is like red might be their favorite color one day and then the next day they hate it and will get it banned and then the next day they will blame everyone else for the color being banned. Maddening! This next line really made me grip my shovel though.... "And then I reached across the aisle to work with John McCain, to find the truth about our POW's and missing in action, and to finally make peace with Vietnam." Reach across the aisle?? You don't have to reach across the aisle
because John Mc Cain usually sits on your side of the isle, condiment
boy!! And let me just say that you can go to hell for even mentioning
Senator Mc Cain or any other PRISONER OF WAR, you horse faced freak! "And as President, I will bring back this nation's time-honored tradition: the United States of America never goes to war because we want to, we only go to war because we have to." That statement is too vapid to even comment on. This idiot apparently
does not understand self defense. America does not start wars. NEVER! And we have never taken over any country that we have
defeated! We have never gone out to conquer a land - we have only gone out to
free it. I guess ketchup boy just doesn't get that.
We could own this planet if we wanted. We are the super power, and that is a good thing because we are morally superior to any other nation, in that we truly believe in the God given right to freedom. "I know what we have to do in Iraq. We need a President who has the credibility to bring our allies to our side and share the burden, reduce the cost to American taxpayers, and reduce the risk to American soldiers. That's the right way to get the job done and bring our troops home." WHAP!!! What a convoluted line of crap! We have allies over there with us, mustard licker! Share this and that? Basically what this guy just said is that he wants to turn the US over to the UN. That is his plan to win this war. That is a load of CRAP!! I know I'm rambling, guys, so I will end it now. We don't need all of this outreaching to other nations, or cooperation and this and that as a plan for winning this war. We could do it alone, but I digress. I will leave you with a quote from President Reagan. Straight and to the point. I think he had the best battle plan ever. "Here’s my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose." Can I get a Hell yes!!!?? Love that man! Shovel on! Timm 26, July, 2004 Something different for my rant today, guys. THE WEB is a constant poster on our message board. He is a lefty Democrat from Boston. Could you imagine that he could have a cogent thought with that lineage? Hahaha :) Seriously though - he was dead on - almost! It is a good read. Of course my comment follows! Go to the message board guys. Well.... What was the conclusion? Ok. There are only two ways to ‘fix’ the reason why they hate us. One
would be to capitulate to their whims and change our values and way of
life. That isn’t going to happen, unless a Democrat gets in office! The
other way is to shovel daisy cutters into every single hole that these
mongoloid terrorists gather in. Find where they hovel and bring the
SHOVEL! WHAP! Rain hell on them! Problem solved, and I don’t care how long
it takes. Anyway, onto one point that Web made in his dissertation - this isn’t a Democrat or Republican thing. IT ISN’T! He is 100% correct! This thing is about America. Us. The US! Why do the Democrats want to make our freedom a political issue? We were attacked, we are at war and these guys are still standing there trying to get votes out of this. How insane is that? We have troops over there defending us and, trust me, those guys don’t look at the parties. It isn’t like they enter the theater of battle with the command of ‘Republicans on this side, Democrats on that side.’ They enter battle as Americans. Americans! And their only goal is to insure that the rest of us will be able to remain Americans! We fight off of our shores so that we will have the freedom to disagree amongst ourselves on our shores. Simple stuff. I will swing my shovel just as hard for someone who disagrees with me as I will for someone who agrees. My only hope is to get them to see the light! Hahahaa <side note - Michael Moore hates America, so my shovel would remain in its holster if I were to be called to his defense.> I have no problem with people disagreeing with what I believe, but if you hate the morals and beliefs that this country was founded on, then - well -- WHAP!!!! The thing that really pisses me off is that Michael fat Moore does not comprehend that he would be killed for making his movies if he were an Iraqi citizen. He just flat out does not comprehend that - and that is what makes that carbon based lardball so dangerous. Pansy idiot. He doesn't even understand what he thinks he believes in. Idiot! Think about it, guys. If all of us shovelers were hanging out and we came under attack - would you expect Mike to lead us into the confrontation? Hell NO! Two seconds into the attack he would have already wet himself. <and ran off with all the party platters we had brought!> Fat load of goo! We are the people who gives that load the right to be a jackass. WHAP! He needs a beating! If we are attacked, you and I will be the ones who would stand up and start swinging. Screw him and screw the Democrats on this one. They have positioned themselves so that bad news for us equals good news for them. That is sick. They consider being elected to be more important than the freedom that this country gives them to be elected. That flies in the face of logic. Power hungry morons. We need to take our shovels to the hill! WHAP!!! I am rambling, huh guys? Thank you for dropping by! Good post WEB. Go to the message board guys! Shovel on, Timm 19, July, 2004 Martha Stewart showed more balls after her
sentence was announced than any republican holding office in the senate or
house right now. Her lawyers haven’t allowed her to talk since this whole
thing started, but they turned her loose the other day and she came out
swinging! If you take a step back and listen to her, you will understand
how this woman got to where she is. Or should I say was and will once
again be. I will give you a few of her quotes here in a second, but first I want to remind you that she was not convicted of insider trading. She wasn’t even accused of it. This whole thing was about her supposedly lying. Hhmmm, didn’t we just have a president that lied and we were told to forget the lie because it was just about sex? Also that it actually wasn’t sex because it was only oral. {that is another rant} Well, in that same mantra, why can’t we forget about Martha’s lie because it was only about money? And the amount of money involved is just stupid. She wouldn’t have missed it any more than one of us would miss a dime that fell out of our pockets. Add to that the fact that the stock went up and she lost money by selling it - but I digress. Well, actually, let me add something here - I do
not care for the woman at all. I never liked her TV shows because she came
off as the most pretentious hag to ever walk the planet. If she looked
down her nose any harder she would be a permanently cross-eyed freak!
{I’ll bet you money that I could out cook her!} Plus, I have never
wondered how I might spice up my table setting with doilies made from
something that I would normally just toss into my freaking trash can! My
God! Can we sentence her to a shoveling just for being herself?? Her show
is more annoying than a Fran Drescher laugh track. Just WHAP!!!! Anyway, this woman was convicted before the trial even began because so many people have been sucked into the class warfare game that the left in the media has become so proficient at imparting. Martha Stewart went out and made a ton of money because she was strong willed, had an idea and - well - this is America! God bless you, shovel on, lady! But the left have managed to convince people that the word C.E.O is a horrible thing. Even more horrible than the word Reagan! This angle really took hold when Lee Iacocca left Ford and was paid a huge amount of money to be the C.E.O of Chrysler. The left in the media focused on his salary, but ignored the fact that within three years Chrysler’s profits were up by more than two billion dollars! Two billion!! That equals nothing but good for everyone! The left just do not understand that. They see a
millionaire buy a new yacht and they just hate him for it. They don’t see
the bigger picture. Before that yacht could be sold to the evil
millionaire, it had to be built. That means that someone earned their
living and fed their family, by cutting the wood to build the boat.
Someone made their living shipping the wood. Someone made their living
preparing the wood. Someone made their living putting the bolts in the
wood to hold it together. Someone made their living making those bolts,
and someone made their living delivering the bolts from the bolt makers to
the boat assemblers. Do you see the circle here, guys? The left doesn’t. They want money and jobs, but they bite the hands of the people who can and will give them that. If they ever get a hold of this nation they will eventually be sitting there suffocating and not realizing that they cut the tube to the tank that was supplying them with oxygen! They hate the one thing that they want - money! They don’t understand the word ‘barter’. Our economy is not a zero sum game. It is not a pie that we need to divide. It is a pie factory that will allow you to make any type of pie that you want - at any size that you want. Some people make huge quadruple layered pies and others make mud pies, but both had the same utensil. Freedom. Sorry, guys. How in the hell did I get off on that tangent? Oh well, my rant on Martha’s quotes will be shorter than I had planned. On to Martha speaking.... Her stock jumped over 40% after she spoke, and it did so because of what she said and how she said it. Martha Stewart is that company and if she goes, it goes. She knows that and she has no intentions of letting that happen. She stood there and let everyone know that. I admire that! Anywho, on to Martha..... Today is a shameful day. It's shameful for me and for my family and for my beloved company and for all of its employees and partners. What was a small personal matter became over the last two years an almost fatal circus event of unprecedented proportions. I have been choked and almost suffocated to death during that time, all the while more concerned about the well-being of others than for myself, more hurt for them and for their losses than for my own, more worried for their futures than the future of Martha Stewart the person. More than 200 people have lost their jobs at my company, and as a result of this situation I want them to know how very, very sorry I am for them and their families. I would like to thank everybody who stood by me........ That part sounds like a scripted, for the press, B.S. statement, but then she went on and let it all out. I just love this. Perhaps all of you out there can continue to show
your support by subscribing to our magazine, by buying our products, by
encouraging our advertisers to come back in full force to our magazines.
Our magazines are great. They deserve your support, and whatever happened
to me personally shouldn't have any effect whatsoever on the great company
Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, and I don't want to use this as a sales
pitch for my company, but we love that company; we've worked so hard on
that company, and we really think it merits great attention from the
American public. And I'll be back. I will be back. Whatever I have to do
in the next few months, I hope the months go by quickly. I'm used to all
kinds of hard work, as you know, and I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
whatsoever....... Just damn! In essence she just called for
everyone to circle the wagons. < some cowboy jargon there> Let me reiterate - for you liberal shovelers - I am not saying that she didn’t do wrong and didn’t deserve to be punished. My whole point here is to show why this woman got to where she is. She just showed more sack than the Oakland Raiders locker room. On second thought, they are all on roids, so their probably isn’t much sack in that locker room. Haha Screw it! You get my point. This is the first chance that she has had to speak in about six months and she came out with both shovels swinging and I really dug it! Just watch - she is going to be bigger than she was.
12, July, 2004 Why in God’s name are those freaks in Washington doing everything they can to eliminate personal responsibility? Well, I mean, other than the fact that they hope to never be held responsible for anything that they do? All of them run their campaigns preaching that inane, insipid little catchphrase "family values." WHAP! Can we please do away with that banal little bromide? It has become so trite that no one - other than the sublimely stupid - pays any attention to it. As well they shouldn’t! Why would we let them stand there and tell us what our family values should be? Are we to assume that they believe we are too stupid, or even worse - morally unable - to have our own family values? SHUT THE HELL UP!!! WHAP! Man, that is so maddening! I think, for the most part, we Americans do just fine instilling family values. After all, our offspring keep meeting your
outrageous tax demands — don’t they? You guys can’t out spend our
production. You try, but your hands just aren’t big enough to find the
bottom of our pockets! Politics is politics, but politics is getting older by the day. <That was a horrible sentence, so sue me.> Which brings me to the point of this rant. Sue THEM! Sue and blame everyone but the person who is actually responsible! That is the way of the world today - the way the proverbial pickle squirts! The over paid, megalomaniacal, bureaucratic, strumpets in Washington want to run around and claim that everybody is responsible for everything, but then they want to turn right back around and pass laws that say no one is responsible for anything that they do. Pull your shovel out and swing!! It is flat out, white knuckle shovel gripping maddening! We have seen it with tobacco, we have seen it with fast food, we have seen it with almost every appliance in our house. You aren’t responsible if – - you smoked until your lungs collapsed But, I digress. Let me get to what brought this rant on. REPUBLICAN, Orrin Hatch has introduced the
‘Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act.’{ Note that, my Democrat
shovelers!! I am calling out a Republican!} This absolutely insane law
would hold manufacturers of digital-music devices responsible if people
who bought their players played illegally downloaded music on them. Can
you believe that????? Grab your shovel and prepare to run to the hill!!!
If this bill passes, it will reopen the blame gun manufactures for people
murdering people with guns argument. This thing absolutely and completely
flies in the face of LOGIC! GO AND LAY DOWN Mr. Hatch!!!
This isn’t anything new for Orrin though, a year ago he proposed a bill to create software that would destroy the hard drives of anyone using unlicenced software - whether they did it intentionally or not. He backed off that idea when it was discovered that his own computers were powering his web site with unlicenced software. He wasn’t punished for that infraction though. Imagine that? WHAP!!!!! Pasty faced suit boy! That is the twisted way those guys view things up there on the hill. They rarely hold themselves or their cohorts responsible. If they are caught doing something wrong, the normal course of action is to form a committee to look into the matter. The results of that committee will never be to punish the perpetrator for their infraction, though. Rather, it will be to pass a new law that was the same as the old law, only it will have a few new big words in it that most of the plebeians in our nation won’t recognize. WHAP!!! GO HOME!! One thing that makes this bill so absolutely asinine is that most of the music pirating happens off of our shores, so our government can’t actually do anything about it anyway. Much in the same way that I can’t do anything to stop Creed from producing more albums even though their music SUCKS!!! <Personal there!> Well, maybe I could bomb Iran. I’m not sure if that would stop the piracy of sucky music, but it would be a good thing none the less. Personally, I blame France, so my solution is to drop a few ‘daisy cutters’ in their general direction! Seriously though, guys. The easiest way to absolve yourself of responsibility is to blame someone else. This is what our government does every single second of the day. That needs to be shoveled to a stop!! Timm 28, June, 2004 Michael Moore is fat. I know that is a infantile way to start a rant, but it is true. The media is really showing their bias in the way they are dealing with buffet boys new movie. I want you to think about it. Just imagine how
they would react if ANYONE else were to release a movie showing images of
what happened on 9/11. Not to mention the fact that they released it for
profit! The media would be crucifying those people. That is blood
money, fatso! But not so with their little butt boy Michael. Him they
place on a pedestal and revere as an erudite, deep thinking, genius who we
should all listen to. Could they try and present us with a more obsequious load of BS? Maybe. But it would be a hard sell. They will give this movie coverage while at the same time refusing to play any of the true 9/11 footage because it would be too disturbing or disrespectful or sad or might line the pockets of Halliburton. Or what ever! Their excuses are too numerous to list and too unabashed to not be blatantly obvious to anyone with an IQ higher than that of your average lukewarm bowl of Raspberry Jell-O. I am sure Michael is no stranger to Jell-O. I can imagine Bill Cosby personally shoveling it into his blow hole. John Kerry just called to remind me that he served in Vietnam. From what I have read, this movie, just like Bowling for Columbine and Roger and Me, is nothing more than propaganda, mis-truths , half lies and flat out brazen lies. Biscuit boy is a socialist, there is no doubt about that - and, he is typical of the person who seeks socialism, in that he wants it in a ‘do as I say, not as I do’, way. He wants everyone but himself to share and spread the wealth. See, the Dean of the grotesquely Distended lives in a $2 million penthouse in New York, he takes limos everywhere he goes, and his kids go to private schools. Hold on a second. Did I just write that his kids..... His kids? How did he get those? My God, lets not put that visual in our heads! There isn’t enough Viagra on the planet to get past that thought! Anyway, if the Prince of Portliness is so concerned about the things he professes to be, why doesn’t he donate all the profits from this film to the families of the 9/11 victims? I’ll tell you why - because his fatness is a liberal and, as it goes with liberals, their wishes apply to everyone but themselves. Also, I thought you might like to know that in a live debate at the 2002 Telluride Film Festival the Corporal of Corpulence actually said that Osama Bin Laden should be considered innocent until proven guilty -- adding that it was the American way. I will take this movie apart lie by lie later after I see it. Ya know what, guys? I just had a thought.... I will see it in true Michael fashion. How about this ..... I buy a ticket to another movie and then sneak into Michael's movie. Isn't that the way he would want it? Stick it to the man? Yes? Shovel on!! I raise a shovel to Michael Moore. He is living the American dream even if he is too damn stupid to realize it. WHAP!!! You fat F***ing idiot!!!!! Timm
21, June, 2004 There were several things that bothered me about
the inane 9/11 hearings this week. I have already gone off on the way the
press misrepresented the whole "Saddam - 9/11" connection. So, I will
forget about that and look at something that the press mentioned and then
let go. That would be the blame game that the committee tried to play with
the FAA. Lay off the FAA, you bunch of incompetent tax suckers! If air traffic control were put directly into your hands, 90% of the planes in the air would have head on collisions. Stick to what you know. Walking around with your hand out and hoping that you say what the person standing in front of you wants to hear. My God, those freaks make me sick. We need a million shovel march, guys! They questioned the FAA's reactions on 9/11. Let me tell you about what the FAA did on 9/11.
Those controllers successfully coordinated the landings of almost 4,500
planes that morning. They handled 1,100 sudden landings in 15 minutes while we were being attacked. On a normal day, in cases of things like bad weather or emergencies, they only reroute about 20 aircraft a FREAKING HOUR!!!!!!!! hmmmm... lets see. Reroute 20 an hour while your biggest worry of the day is whether or not Rachael is going to be impregnated by Raymond or Will or Grace or WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN THOSE STUPID DEMONICALLY POSSESSED SITCOMS! Versus rerouting 1,100 in 15 minutes while you are watching psycho homicidal maniacs fly planes into the two biggest economic beacons on the planet. Hmmm.. Need I say more? How dare these clods on the 9/11 commission question the actions of these guys? I’m sure all of them were slipping into bomb safe bunkers at the time. We don’t need these idiots in government questioning the actions of the FAA on that day - at that time. My God! More government is the last thing we need. As far as what happened on 9/11, we do not need to hear the committees thoughts, their questions, and God help us if we have to abide by their answers! Here is an example of your government at work, shovelers - and these are the same guys running the investigation. On 9/11, right when all the chaos was going on, these idiots demanded a halt to all landings at some of the biggest airports in our nation while at the same time demanding that all planes be grounded. Hello?? You retarded mongoloid jackasses! Anyway, the Take your commission and stick it. Thanks for wasting all of our hard earned tax dollars on nothing, you oafs. All of it makes me sick. Letting these guys in Washington form a committee to get to the bottom of things is like letting O.J. Simpson go so he can search for the real killer. Timm 14, June, 2004 What a week this was. I am sure you older shovelers thought back to President Kennedy as you watched the week unfold. I found myself thinking about my granddad. Maybe because both men seemed so huge to me when I was a kid. Or maybe because President Reagan was like a granddad to our nation. The wise old man sitting at the head of the table keeping the rest of the family in line, telling us things that we would ignore in our fractious youth, but would later look back and marvel at. Someone with a moral compass that we could only hope to aspire to. Several of you have asked me if I think we will have another Ronald Reagan. NO! But, I say that in the context that we will never have another me or another you. We are all very unique individuals and there will never be another like us. Remember that. So, will we have another leader like President Reagan? I believe that we will and I believe that person will come from the generation that is watching America defeat terrorism. President Reagan was called a war monger. Nothing could have been further from the truth. He never wanted a war, he wanted to end the threat of war. That is why he walked away from Rachavick. He was not going to settle for yet another so-called peace agreement. He was saying we are going to end this now. He stood up and walked away as if to say, if you want some come get it, I will be out in the yard. The Empire blinked and fell like the weakling bully that is was. President Reagan knew communism couldn’t compete with us morally and more importantly economically. He made deals with two other nations to increase their out put of oil and coal - the Soviet Unions two biggest exports. That drove the prices down and choked the USSR economy. Combine that with the SDI spending, and down goes the union. They could not keep up. The press nicknamed SDI - STAR WARS just to make it seem like an insane fantasy. They joked, saying that you can’t shoot down a bullet with a bullet. Well, hello, let me introduce you to my little friend The Patriot Missile!! President Regan’s vision came true and it is awesome! The press was wrong - as they always are. His resentment of, and will to defeat, communism started long before he sought any office. It started when he was an actor. In the late 1940's the Communist party was trying to take over Hollywood’s unions. <Communist in Hollywood? No! Get out! > HA! Anyway, they formed lines in front of the studios and conducted some very violent protest. The actors had to be bused into the studios and were told to duck down under the seats so the mob wouldn’t see them. They did. Well, all of them but one of them did. Ronald Reagan sat tall and ignored those recommendations. He wasn’t going to blink. That was so Reagan. It makes me think of the picture of him and Nancy waving from the hospital window just two days after they had pulled a bullet out of the man’s chest. He was smiling to let the nation know he was ok, but, I think, also to say to the world, "Is that the best you’ve got?" Bring it on! President Reagan entered office at a bad time for our country. He came along after Vietnam, Nixon, Watergate, that jackass Ford and then Jimmy Carter. Not a time for us to be proud of ourselves. <That being said without disrespect to our Vietnam veterans, but you guys know that.> Anyway, he managed to turn it all around and make us proud again. Bottom line. He healed the country. I have so much more, but I am going to stop here. God Bless America was President Reagan’s favorite patriotic tune. For some reason I have the feeling that he is sitting up there right now poking Ray Charles in the ribs and saying, "Sing it one more time, buddy." His obituary should not read like the rest of ours. It should simply read, "survived by the citizens of The United States of America and the rest of the soon to be free WORLD." Shovel out, Timm
7, June, 2004
I think it is oddly appropriate that President
Reagan passed on the eve of D-Day. D-Day was the largest military
offensive in the history of mankind, and the most important one of our
times. From sun up to sun down, over 1,500 men died on that beach that
day. We won that war and the world is better for it. President Reagan won
the next war without firing a shot. {Well, he did <accidentally> drop a
bomb the French Embassy - which, to this day, still makes me smile.} I
digress though... The Cold War had the potential of being 100 times as
bloody as World War 2, but it didn’t happen. The press can spin it anyway
they want, but that empire fell at the hands and convictions of one man.
President Ronald Reagan. I would like to sit here and tell you everything I know and admire about the man, but I have decided to just give you some of his own words. This man had a set core of beliefs and he never wavered from them. He gave a speech in 1964 and he repeated those same ideals until he left public life. I want you to notice how true those words ring today. Enough rambling....... lets start with a speech he gave on the 40th anniversary of D-Day. "We stand today at a place of battle, one that 40 years ago saw and felt the worst of war. Men bled and died here for a few feet of - or inches of sand, as bullets and shellfire cut through their ranks. About them, General Omar Bradley later said, "Every man who set foot on Omaha Beach that day was a hero." As are those who are in the sands of Iraq. When men like Private Zannata and all our Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy 40 years ago they came not as conquerors, but as liberators. When these troops swept across the French countryside and into the forests of Belgium and Luxembourg they came not to take, but to return what had been wrongfully seized. When our forces marched into Germany they came not to prey on a brave and defeated people, but to nurture the seeds of democracy among those who yearned to bee free again. That is so true. America has given blood on the
lands of many countries, but we have never claimed those lands. We give
them back their freedom and then move on. It makes me sick to hear
jackasses like Ted Kennedy stand up and say that we are nation building or
invading. We are not trying to conquer the middle east, we are FREEING it.
We have never given our blood or used our might to conquer, if we had the
entire world would be ours right now.
Today, the living here assembled-officials, veterans, citizens-are a tribute to what was achieved here 40 years ago. This land is secure. We are free. These things are worth fighting and dying for. AMEN! Lisa Zannata Henn began her story by quoting her father, who promised that he would return to Normandy. She ended with a promise to her father, who died 8 years ago of cancer: "I'm going there, Dad, and I'll see the beaches and the barricades and the monuments. I'll see the graves, and I'll put flowers there just like you wanted to do. I'll never forget what you went through, Dad, nor will I let any one else forget. And, Dad, I'll always be proud." Through the words of his loving daughter, who is here with us today, a D-Day veteran has shown us the meaning of this day far better than any President can. It is enough to say about Private Zannata and all the men of honor and courage who fought beside him four decades ago: We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free. Very sobering thoughts. Next is from a speech he gave the same year at Pointe du Hoc. He is speaking about Rangers who hit that beach and climbed that mountain while being hit with mortars, grenades, bullets, you name it. They would sling up rope after rope to scale that mountain. If one of those ropes were cut by the enemy, another would be slung up. If a Ranger was killed, another would jump right in his place. 225 men went up that mountain, only 90 made it to the top. Can’t you just see how the press today would react to that operation? Anyway, here is part of what President Reagan said. Notice the theme. The men of Normandy had faith
that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all
humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead
or on the next. It was the deep knowledge -- and pray God we have not lost
it -- that there is a profound moral difference between the use of force
for liberation and the use of force for conquest. You were here to
liberate, not to conquer, and so you and those others did not doubt your
cause. And you were right not to doubt.
"....a profound moral difference between the use of force for liberation and the use of force for conquest." That morality is what separates The United States from all the dictator ruled countries. We use our power for good, that is what we are doing in Iraq. President Reagan could have given this same speech today about the soldiers who have given their lives to fight the war against terrorism. There is no doubt to our cause over there. I’m rambling too much. I want to end this with parts of a speech he gave in 1964. It has become what everyone refers to as "THE SPEECH." Forty years later it still rings true. I am going to talk of controversial things. I make no apology for this. It's time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, "We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government." This idea? that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. Read that last sentence again. Think of Hillary. They say the world has become too
complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done. "If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done." That statement so encompasses this man. He saw evil, he had an idea as to how to deal with it and he followed it through. He was belittled by the media, called an idiot and told that he would fail. He squared his shoulders, ignored them and marched to his own drummer. He succeeded and we are still reaping the benefits of his vision and actions today. No one can ever look at President Ronald Reagan and say that he didn't do all that he could do. I want to end this on a humorous note. So here are a few quotes from his speech at the 1992 Republican Convention. Tonight is a very special night for me. Of course, at my age, every night's a very special night. After all, I was born in 1911. Indeed, according to the experts, I have exceeded my life expectancy by quite a few years. Now this a source of great annoyance to some, especially those in the Democratic party. But, here's the remarkable thing
about being born in 1911. In my life's journey over these past eight
decades, I have seen the human race through a period of unparalleled
tumult and triumph. I have seen the birth of communism and the death of
communism. I have witnessed the bloody futility of two World Wars, Korea,
Vietnam and the Persian Gulf. I have seen Germany united, divided and
united again. I have seen television grow from a parlor novelty to become
the most powerful vehicle of communication in history. As a boy I saw
streets filled with model-Ts; as a man I have met men who walked on the
moon.
Ok... so I won’t end on a
humorous note. One thing he said there, "I have witnessed the bloody
futility of two World Wars..." This world needs to thank the man for the fact that the third World War went down without all of that bloodshed. Communism hit its knees without a shot being fired. God bless you, President Reagan. You made us all proud to stand up and say, "We are Americans." 24, May, 2004 The media’s indoctrination activists, or as they
like to call themselves -JOURNALIST, are not going to let this "torture"
story go, so you guys might as well go load up on methadone and try not to
let it unnerve you.
During the Vietnam war we had all the acid dropping, dope smoking, shampoo, soap and barber challenged freaks running around screaming "baby killer." Today those same freaks, older but absolutely none the wiser, have scratched that mindless proverb off of their little wooden stick supported poster boards and replaced it with "torture." I don’t know what type of dictionary, if any,
these America hating puke holes are using, but my understanding of the
meaning of the word torture goes something like....the infliction of
severe physical pain as a means of punishment or coercion. A shovel being
a very good tool for said infliction! In these freaks minds, torture equals forcing men to get naked and form human pyramids while having their pictures taken. In my mind that sounds like the plot for Richard Simmons’ next exercise video. Throw in a gerbil or two and some duct tape and you might even get a cameo from Richard Gere. Sorry for putting that visual in your mind. I guess you can accuse me of torture now! Maybe it’s just me, but when I think of torture I think of things like being forced to watch American Idol. Just kidding. Well, actually, I’m not. In my mind, being forced to watch that would be akin to some of the more widely recognized forms of torture. Such as beating, starving, breaking fingers, pulling off fingernails, yanking out eyeballs, being forced to listen to Fran Drescher laugh for more than one second in a row. There are just too many ghastly deeds for me to list here, but you get my point. I’m talking about actual torture. Show me a man who considers being naked torture and I will show you Peter Jennings. But I digress. There are two things that I am sick of hearing
about. One - shut up about this "robbing them of their dignity." These
people, for most if not all of their lives, have lived under a dictator!
Dignity was taken from them the very second the umbilical cord was cut.
They have never known dignity the way we do. They wouldn’t recognize
dignity if it were swirling around in the Slurpie machine in front of
them. They actually know less about dignity and pride than a lifelong
welfare recipient in this country knows about it. So drop that angle. The second thing is the Geneva Convention. Are we violating it? Yep. And we need to stop. See, under the Geneva Convention the enemy/army must were a uniform so that either side can tell who it is that they need to kill in the theater of combat. This little rule was inserted in hopes of cutting down on the death of innocent civilians - or collateral damage to those who insist on having a nickname for everything. Under the GC any soldier caught out of uniform can, and should, be shot on sight. None of these terrorist are wearing uniforms, so, in accordance with the GC we need to start shooting them where they stand. Abide by the rules. Skip all the pains of booking and jailing. Forget the GC anyway. We are the only nation that will actually adhere to it, so why should we play by rules when we know that everyone else is going to ignore them? Don’t get me wrong. I am not for torture of just anyone we happen to capture, but why should we let the media raise such a stink over this when we know that they would gloss right over a terrorist attack that destroyed an American MASH unit? This 'prisoner abuse' is a non issue. Shut up! Have I ever mentioned that I despise the media? Do you ever wonder just whose side they are on? Or should I say do you ever doubt? The bottom line is that these "photos" are going to be here until the election. It wouldn’t surprise me if the media created a story over Xerox copies of previously released "torture" photos. They are bent on doing anything they can to make our troops and President Bush look bad. They want America to lose. If you can’t tell that then you are probably too stupid to be on this page. I welcome your comments though! One last thing. I am sick of hearing about
winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. Screw them. Did we worry
about the hearts and minds of the Germans or the Japanese during WW2? Hell
no! We pounded them into submission and worried about that later. There
was one goal then and that was winning the war. Everything else was put
aside. Everything else was a luxury that we put off in hopes that we might
be able to enjoy it again one day. Freedom was at stake. This war is no
different and we, as a nation, had better realize that right now.
President Bush needs to stop screwing around with the political aspects of
what we are doing and just take care of the business of annihilating these
terrorists. There isn’t really any room for middle ground here. Not with these freaks. So pound them! Step up, use our force and just do it. I don’t really care what they think about us or our actions, but from what I can tell dead terrorists seem to be innately peaceful. Timm 17, MAY, 2004 It being my birthday I was going to sit here and bloviate about what I have learned up to this point, but decided not to. Those concepts will find their ways into future rants and commentaries. So how about this collage? Just because I can! If you want to read thoughts you can go to my rant achieves! :):) Or see you next Monday.
SHOVEL - CENTRAL COMMAND
10, May, 2004 The Democrats, purely for political purposes,
have been yelling that the war in Iraq is just another Vietnam. Though the
charge completely lacks one single ounce of truth, they continue to use it
because of the negative connotation that they know it will induce in the
minds of people who get their news from sound bites. <which, in essence,
means almost everybody> But, it is an absurd statement that is more see
thru than Nicole Kidman. That girl is like a jellyfish. She should take a
minute or two out of each day and try to become better Anyway, I hate to say it, but with the release of the photos of the Iraqi prisoners the lefties might just be able to claim themselves to be soothsayers after all. If Americans buy into the blatant anti- Bush spin on these events, then we very well could have another Vietnam on our hands. But it will have NOTHING to do with the war and our ability to win it. It will be about politics and mind set. Just like Vietnam. In both cases we could go out and flat out 100% annihilate these countries and be back home in time to catch a rerun of The Simpsons while we were waiting on some half stoned delivery jerk to bring us our triple cheese, double beef, quintuple pepperoni, add more cheese, toss in a free pitcher of Coke, a nice dessert, three free months of all access satellite dish, and more beef, freaking pizza! Just because - we by God can. And that is why the left hates us and that is why they are putting the Vietnam spin on this. Iraq is about to become another Vietnam, but not in the theater of war. It is becoming a Vietnam in the folds of our press. They are using the exact same tactic that was used in Vietnam. That being painting our entire military with one big baby killing brush stroke. They are taking a few bad seeds and making them out to be the epitomes of our armed forces. This couldn’t be any further from the truth. Not now and not then. Enough Americans bought the lie during Vietnam. The question is, will enough of them buy it now? <Kerry would like to have you think so.> Will the Democrats and their willing conspirators in the media be able to use these pictures to turn American hearts against the war on terror? I say no. And, actually, my biggest problem with the pictures is that they all showed the guys giving the thumbs up. I would have liked to have seen a few thumbs down, myself. Anyway the pictures are out and who would have
ever imagined it, but the group of the most overpaid do nothings in this
country are now demanding hearings so that they can whine about the fact
that they weren’t told about the photos before hand. You know what? SCREW
Congress!!! SCREW every damn one of them!!! <except Zell Miller> Go find
something else to do you attention starved sluggards! Damn you pigs!
The intelligence agencies didn’t tell them anything about this for a very good reason. They knew that the thing would blow up just exactly how it has now. Everyone knows that those megalomaniacal freaks in Congress would have immediately ran to the first camera that they could find and instantly start spinning the entire event in a way that they hoped would ingratiate them to their constituencies. They also knew that these partisan idiots would start screaming for this resignation and that resignation and this committee and that special hearing, and blah,blah, blah! And all of it would be nothing more than an attempt to get their kissers on the TV. This is war, damn it!! Not politics. Can I just say go to hell to both parties? The Democrats just flat out suck and the Republicans have been one big colossal disappointment. We know exactly why that is. Power. The right thing will always take a backseat to power up there in Washington. Sickening. WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! Sorry - back to Congress not being told. At the
time these pictures became available we had Fallujah going in full swing,
we had hostages and we had other skirmishes going on. Things were a bit
hectic over there. All those things, especially the hostages, had to be
considered. The last thing we needed was for the freaks in Congress to go
leaking these pictures to the press.
The bottom line here is, will the press be able to convince the country that Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terrorism? Will they be able to twist minds into thinking that President Bush attacked Iraq so that we could get oil? I wonder how many people are aware that this "regime change" policy actually came about in 1998. Hmmm..... who was in office then? Say it with me....Clinton!!! President Bush was just following through on Clinton’s policy! Hello??!!? Anyway, this whole thing with the Iraqi prisoners is being way over blown. Sure our soldiers shouldn’t have done that. After all, we are trying to show these people liberty and freedom. Humiliation and abuse is all they have ever known, so what happened is like taking a step backwards in showing them that. But on the other hand, screw them -- they should have died on the battle field. The liberals in the press need to drop their ceaseless crusade for apologizes from President Bush. We see through it. All of these hearings and questionings have nothing to do with the facts. It is nothing more than a poorly disguised attempt to get him out of office. That is all that any of this is about. Is this another Vietnam? I wish it were. Because
if it was, we could just pull our troops out and forget about the entire
thing.
Timm 3, May, 2004 Just why did Ted, the perpetually constipated,
Koppel read the names of the soldiers who have died in Iraq? Can we take
him at his word and believe that he did it to honor those who have made
the ultimate sacrifice for our country? A couple of reason come to mind. First off, they ran this show during sweeps week. Hey, who among us hasn’t wanted to exploit the faces of the dead to boost our rating numbers so that we can charge more for commercial air time? May a shovel have a malevolent liaison with these peoples vital organs! Secondly, they ran this thing on the eve of the one-year anniversary of President Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech where he made an aircraft carrier landing. It was awesome and a proud time for America, but the media’s incontinence over the event had them wearing Depends diapers 24/7 for over a month. How dare we Americans stand tall and proud for anything, huh? Man, these media people pick at my nerves like a jackal on the bones of a dead varmint. Add those two facts to the fact that these are the same people who would scream bloody murder if someone showed the faces of all those who died in 9/11 as a reminder to the American people of just how horrible 9/11 was and you will see why I doubt their motivations. See, they purposely keep the images of 9/11 off
the air, yet they will consistently put up the images of soldiers killed in the war
against terrorism. Satan is alive and well and he lives behind the news desks of the three major networks! This show had nothing more to do with honoring our brave men and women than the 9/11 hearings had to do with actually doing something about our nations security. They are what they are: A blatant attempt to smear, crush, and impugn President Bush and the war in Iraq. Let me give you a bit from an interview with Ted Koppel. This is an exchange between him and Charlie Gibson. Koppel brings up an event that the media lied about and perpetuates it as the truth. They have held to this lie for over 30 freaking years! Gibson: "But Ted, I think a lot of us when we first heard you were going to do this thought of a very famous Life Magazine published in 1969, when they published the faces of those who died in Vietnam just in one week, and that, a lot of people think, was one of the things that turned this country against the war." Koppel: "Charlie, I'm afraid you and I are old enough to remember that the country had started turning against the war long before that. More than a year before that Life Magazine spread ran, you had the Tet Offensive in Vietnam. That was in, I think, February of 1968, and we had casualties in those days of 300 a week, 400 a week, 500 a week. I think the anti-war movement was well underway by the time the Life Magazine spread occurred, but you're absolutely right...." This guy just grabbed a big unctuous slab of bias off the rack and aloofly slapped you in the face with it. Ted is right in one sense: We did have the Tet Offensive. We had it, it was bloody as hell, but we did win it. The problem is that the perversely biased liberals in the media reported it as an American loss. A defeat. They so misrepresented the Tet Offensive that it turned Americans against the war. It politicized the war like never before and turned it into an unwinnable situation. That was their goal and they accomplished it. They are trying like hell to do the same thing with Fallujah. The Life magazine piece didn’t turn the American people against the war, it just turned their stomachs. Ted pointing to the Tet Offensive would be like a reporter staging a truck explosion and then reporting it as news that an automobile manufacture had failed. Oh wait, they already did that. Come on Ted, you disingenuous waste of carbon. Why not just give a straightforward response like, "Well, Charlie, don’t give that Life Magazine spread so much credit. We had already turned America against the war a year before when we lied and said that the Tet Offensive was a huge loss for America." I mean, please! Someone put a Shovel in his
kisser!
A few more quotes form this guy. "I'm not suggesting that the people here in this country don't know what's happening, but I think that periodically it is not unreasonable to remind everyone......" Periodically remind us? That is all these people do. They can’t report a soldier’s death fast enough. Let me put it this way: Have you ever heard them "periodically" remind us of how many days in a row it has been since a solider was killed? NO!!!! You constantly see and hear headlines like, "for the second day in a row" when it pertains to our soldiers dying, but you will never ever, ever see a headline, "it has been three days since we have lost any American troops." They won’t do it. Never! Especially with a a Republican in office. "We need to see the people that die in war so that we realize that it is happening." Ted, with that statement you have just called anyone who listens to you an ignoramus. I’m not sure who is stupider, you for uttering that statement, or the people who would hear it and think, "ya know, he has a point." If you don’t know that people die in wars than you are a damned idiot, and you aren’t worth dying for! If ever anything was wasted, it was wasted on you and your ilk! Why don’t you guys show people opening and closing their mouths while they eat, just so we can realize what is happening? The obvious doesn’t need to be pointed out, bud. I think it would be a bit more educational and informative to show the Richter scale when Michael Moore is walking around so that we can realize it is just some fat ass in search of a double, bacon, ham, butter, cream and cheese, butter, bacon, butter burger, and not an actual earthquake. "I am opposed to sustaining the illusion that war can be waged by the sacrifice of a few without burdening the rest of us in any way. I oppose the notion that to be at war is to forfeit the right to question, criticize or debate our leaders' policies." Again, trying to put a spin on the apparent. Here
is the problem with Ted and all the other liberal elites in the media.
They don’t know how the rest of feel, They don’t understand that none of us here in the great fruited plains are under the illusion that war can be waged without sacrifice. These guys see a dead soldier as a possible headline or news story. The rest of us see it as an American who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may be able to go about the everyday aspects of our lives that most of us take for granted, and more often than not consider to be mundane. We double take at it differently than these guys. We look at it and say to ourselves, there is a family out there who will never see their child, or husband, or brother, or uncle, or father, or sister, or mother ever again. We can see that and, even if it is done subconsciously, we grieve for a spilt second in thanks for their service to our country. The pigs in the media see the death on paper and immediately start looking for angles for stories. I believe this is the reason why those bastards are so miserable. It is because they do nothing but look for the negative. NOTHING. They spend every waking moment of their lives searching for the negative in the good. They will always find something negative in any good news that comes down the line. Even if they have to make it up. That must really twist your mind after a while. I just wonder.... if todays liberal press were reporting on the War of Independence... how would they spin it? Would they extol the virtue of a nation of people who defended their right to freedom? Or would they point out that a King had lost his rule over some of his minions and there was little chance that they would do well on their own? Timm 19, Apr, 2004 THE 9/11 SMEARINGS Could there be any more blatant show of bias in
the media than what was shown during President Bush’s press conference last
These so-called reporters carried an agenda into the press conference. They had their itinerary, they had their questions and, essentially, all they wanted to do with them was get President Bush to admit guilt for the 9/11 attacks on our country. They didn’t want information, they didn’t want truth, they just wanted to try and get him to admit to something that he had nothing to do with. All in the hopes of preventing him from being reelected - plain and simple. They wanted to cast a negative light on him and his administration and the actions he has chosen to take in the war on terrorism, especially Iraq. They want to portray Iraq as a failure. In essence they are rooting for the enemy. Isn’t that nice of them? I would like to see just how brave these journalists are, or would be, if they were allowed to stand up and ask these types of questions in front of, say, President Saddam and his firing squad. Grip. Don’t believe me that they were trying to splash this with negative overtones? Just how long after President Bush stated that he would now take their questions did it take for ‘Vietnam’ to be brought up? 8 SECONDS!! And ‘quagmire’ followed a second after that! Hmmm...No agenda! Here are a few of the questions asked of President Bush. They get more and more insipid as they go. You tell me it isn’t obvious what they are driving at.... "Mr. President, April is turning into the deadliest month in Iraq since the fall of Baghdad, and some people are comparing Iraq to Vietnam.." 8 seconds!! "..and talking about a quagmire." 9 seconds! "Polls show that support for your policy is declining and that fewer than half Americans now support it." Not true, but facts don’t matter here, do they? "What does that say to you and how do you answer the Vietnam comparison?" How about I mention the fact that the Vietnam comparison was first made by a whiskey saturated sot by the name of Ted Kennedy who should be in prison for letting a girl drown in his car. How about that, question boy? Questions like this just feed the egos of our enemy. Question like this cost American soldiers their lives. Shut up!"Mr. President, before the war, you and members of your administration
made several claims about Iraq, that U.S. troops would be greeted "Mr. President, to move to the 9/11 Commission, you yourself have acknowledged in the, that Osama bin Laden was not a central focus of the administration in the months before September 11th. 'I was not on point,' you told the journalist Bob Woodward. 'I didn't feel that sense of urgency.' Two-and-a-half years later, do you feel any sense of personal responsibility for September 11th?" Hello? If Bill Clinton were sitting in front of you would you ask him about his sense, or should I say lack of, sense of urgency to get Osama when he was offered to him 3 freaking times? "Mr. President . . . one of the biggest criticisms of you is that whether it's WMD in Iraq, postwar planning in Iraq, or even the question of whether this administration did enough to ward off 9/11, you never admit a mistake. Is that a fair criticism?" Mr. President.... I have no facts to back this, but... you suck. Is that a fair critique of you? And if not, would you please explain how that assessment doesn't go far enough in defining just how much you suck. "And do you believe that there were any errors in judgment that you made related to any of those topics I brought up?" Have you ever, at any time in your life answered any question incorrectly, and if so why haven't you impeached yourself? Just damn. It is grip and swing time!"Two weeks ago, a former counter-terrorism official at the NSC, Richard Clarke, offered an unequivocal apology to the American people for failing them prior to 9/11." That apology was mindless self aggrandizement at its worst. It meant less than nothing. Had Dick, I mean Richard been handed a hard copy of the 9/11 plans by Osama himself, he couldn’t have done anything about it. He was a low level lackey with less pull than Christopher Reeves. "Do you believe the American people deserve a similar apology from you, and would you be prepared to give them one?" No and no. And might I ask you, would you be willing to apologize to the human race for being such an unmitigated intellectual failure?"In the last campaign, ". . .with public support for your policies in Iraq falling off the way they have, quite significantly over the past couple of months, I guess I'd like to know if you feel in any way that you've failed as a communicator on this topic?" The support has not fallen off significantly, but I’m not going to get into that here. I just want you to look at how these "reporters" framed their questions to President Bush. Could they have been more flagrant in their intention?They wanted a sound bite of him admitting to something that he was not guilty of. They were trying to get something for a campaign commercial. They never would have asked these questions of a Democratic president. The tone would have been entirely different. Just for the halibut, might I predict the way it would have went? The way they would have framed the questions? Here we go... "Mr. President, we have all seen how many Americans, especially those on the right, are blaming you for the attacks of 9/11. We have also seen how you have stood up, taken responsibility and shouldered this burden rather than make excuses. We all know that you are just doing this to keep our country strong and we truly appreciate that. But, Mr. President, will you finally stop heaping that burden on yourself and just admit to the American people that there was no way you could have actually stopped this from happening. Will you please admit that and stop trying to accept responsibility for something that you had no way of controlling?" Maddening! But how far off the mark am I? I'd say not enough to measure. These questions and the 9/11 hearings and all that they will entail, have to do with just one thing - the 2004 elections. They are not about the truth or making our country safer, they are about getting power back. Democrat power. There are 34 Senate seats to be voted on and over 400 House seats. That is what all of this is about. Our nations security be damned, they want their seat. Will they please just admit that?
12, Apr, 2004 Swing and a miss! Lets face it, this freak show of having Condoleezza Rice testify in public was nothing more than an attempt by the Democrats to get one long anti-Bush commercial for free. And it backfired on them big time! In fact, President Bush’s numbers went up. As far as the question of whether the Bush administration did everything it could do before 9-11, the numbers went from 42% YES, 54% NO to 48% YES, 40% NO. And I got those numbers from a CNN poll. Don’t you just know that they wanted to bury those results? Condi’s opening statement destroyed all the
untrue allegations that Richard Clarke had testified to previously. I
wonder if Clarke will be brought back in for perjury charges? We all know
the answer to that. A lie is not a lie if it might deport President Bush
from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The fact of the matter is that Clarke wrote
his little book
One of my favorite lines from her opening statement — "The terrorists were at war with us, but we were not yet at war with them. For more than 20 years, the terrorist threat gathered, and America's response across several administrations of both parties was insufficient." Dead on!!! Lets take a look back, shall we, fellow shovelers. The terrorism started in 1979, when the U.S. embassy in Iran was seized and Americans were taken hostage. In 1983, U.S. Marines barracks were blown up in Beirut. In 1985, we had the Achille Lauro incident where the terrorist took over a cruise ship and shot a 69-year-old American <who was in a wheelchair> and then threw him overboard. In 1986, terrorists from Lybia bombed a discotheque in West Berlin that our soldiers hung out at a lot. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed. Also in 1993, we had the Somalia incident where 18 American troops were killed and one of the dead bodies was dragged through the streets for all the world to see. In 1995, five Americans were killed in Saudi Arabia by a car bomb. In 1996, a U.S. Air Force housing was bombed in Saudi. In 1998, U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed. Quite a list, huh? All of those attacks went
virtually unanswered but one. That would be the bombing of the discotheque
which happened under President Reagan’s watch. The bombing resulted in the
death of Ok, lets move on to some of the testimony. If you didn’t hear it live, you lose, you really missed out. Their agenda was blatant. They wanted YES or NO answers to questions that could not possibly be answered with a simple YES or NO without her flat out lying or giving the answer that they wanted - which also would have been a lie. They weren't actually asking questions as much as they were demanding that she refute unsubstantiated claims. They didn’t want truth. They just wanted to leave a slandering impression of the Bush administration. Here is some of the testimony, with my comment of course..... BEN-VENISTE: Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the August 6th PDB warned against possible attacks in this country? And I ask you whether you recall the title of that PDB? RICE: I believe the title was, "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." Now, the... BEN-VENISTE: Thank you. RICE: No, Mr. Ben-Veniste... BEN-VENISTE: I will get into the... RICE: I would like to finish my point here. BEN-VENISTE: I didn't know there was a point. Hahaha... Wow, what a zinger, Mr. Ben-fistme! "I didn't know there was a point." How obnoxiously snide. Anyway, I will agree with you here, Mr. Ben-fistme. There is no point to any of this. All this amounts to is a chance for you and the others in your little lollypop guild to dress up and put in your bid for the vice-presidential nomination. RICE: Given that -- you asked me whether or not it warned of attacks. BEN-VENISTE: I asked you what the title was. RICE: You said, did it not warn of attacks. It did not warn of attacks inside the United States. It was historical information based on old reporting. There was no new threat information. And it did not, in fact, warn of any coming attacks inside the United States. BEN-VENISTE: Now, you knew by August 2001 of Al Qaeda involvement in the first World Trade Center bombing, is that correct? See. She smoked Mr. Ben-fistme on that issue, so he just changed the topic completely. You can see the questioning is going no where. Besides, Mr. Ben-fistme, tell me what the first bombings have to do with these hearings? That happened under Clinton and he didn't do anything in response. He didn't even go and visit the towers to pay his respects after they were bombed, Mr. Ben-fistme. You'd better watch your step, you are about to shovel yourself into a very deep hole. Enough with Mr. Ben-fistme, lets move on to Bob
Kerrey's insipid inquisition...
KERREY: So I just -- why didn't we respond to the Cole? RICE: Well, we... KERREY: Why didn't we swat that fly? What is this "WE" stuff? You are talking to someone from the Bush administration! Not the Clinton administration, you buffoon! The Cole was bombed under Clinton’s watch, she couldn’t have had anything to do with the response to the bombing of the Cole. "We?" What is that? Do you have multi- personalities? Are you questioning yourself you psychotic demagogue? RICE: I believe that there's a question of whether or not you respond in a tactical sense or whether you respond in a strategic sense; whether or not you decide that you're going to respond to every attack with minimal use of military force and go after every -- on a kind of tit-for-tat basis. By the way, in that memo, Dick Clarke talks about not doing this tit-for-tat, doing this on the time of our choosing. I'm aware, Mr. Kerrey, of a speech that you gave at that time that said that perhaps the best thing that we could do to respond to the Cole and to the memories was to do something about the threat of Saddam Hussein. That's a strategic view... And we took a strategic view. We didn't take a tactical view. I mean, it was really -- quite frankly, I was blown away when I read the speech, because it's a brilliant speech. It talks about really...... an asymmetric... WHAP! She just shoveled his feet right out from under him. When the Cole was bombed he, Kerrey, stated on the floor of the Senate that we should attack Saddam. What is he saying today? Flip flop and you are nailed, bub! KERREY: I presume you read it in the last few days? RICE: Oh no, I read it quite a bit before that. It's an asymmetric approach. Now, you can decide that every time Al Qaeda... KERREY: So you're saying that you didn't have a military response against the Cole because of my speech? She didn’t have a response? Hello? Again, the Cole was bombed during Clinton’s watch, you idiot! How is the administration supposed to have a military response before it was even elected to office? That would have been preemptively preemptive. Would it not? God, this is mindless! RICE: I do not believe to this day that it would have been a good thing to respond to the Cole, given the kinds of options that we were going to have. And with all due respect to Dick Clarke, if you're speaking about the Delenda plan, my understanding is that it was, A, never adopted, and that Dick Clarke himself has said that the military portion of this was not taken up by the Clinton administration. KERREY: Let me move into another area. RICE: So we were not presented -- I just want to be very clear on this, because it's been a source of controversy -- we were not presented with a plan. KERREY: Well, that's not true. It is not... RICE: We were not presented. We were presented with... KERREY: I've heard you say that, Dr. Clarke, that 25 January, 2001, memo was declassified, I don't believe... RICE: That January 25 memo has a series of actionable items having to do with Afghanistan, the Northern Alliance. KERREY: Let me move to another area. RICE: May I finish answering your question,
though, because this is an important... KERREY: I know it's important. Everything that's going on here is important. But I get 10 minutes. RICE: But since we have a point of disagreement, I'd like to have a chance to address it. KERREY: Well, no, no, actually, we have many points of disagreement, Dr. Clarke, but we'll have a chance to do in closed session. Please don't filibuster me. It's not fair. It is not fair. I have been polite. I have been courteous. It is not fair to me. Not fair to me? I have been courteous and polite? Give me a break! If you think this transcript reads rude, you should actually hear it. His respect level toward her was less than zero. And what in the world is he talking about a closed session for? He now wants closed hearings after demanding that we have public hearings. Just why did you and Mr. Ben-fistme, call these hearing, sir? Oh, I remember it was to get at President Bush...errr... I mean get to the truth. Enough of this clown, and Mr. Ben-fistme, lets move on to the easily confused Jimbo Thompson. THOMPSON: I'm going to go through my questions as quickly as I can because we have to depart. And I would appreciate it if you would go through your answers as quickly as you could. In other words, I am going to ask you a question that cannot possibly be answered with a simple yes or no, but I am going to expect you to answer it that way anyway. THOMPSON: The Cole -- why didn't the Bush administration respond to the Cole? ...blowing up our destroyers is an act of war against us, is it not? I mean, how long would that have to go on before we would respond with an act of war? ENOUGH! Again with the Cole bombing. That was
Clinton's little red wagon to pull and he essentially did nothing, you
idiots. They are not this stupid, folks, no - it is more insidious than
that. Let me tell you why they did this. They did it because they know
that over 50% of the people who will hear that sound bite have no idea
that the Cole was bombed while Clinton was in charge. These guys know those
people will just accept it that President Bush didn’t do anything when the
Cole was bombed and that little idea will nestle into their psyche These Democrats are showing that they are going to play the ‘damned if you do, damned if you don’t’ game. Think about it. The people who are screaming the loudest about the heightened security being an invasion of civil rights are the same people who are now demanding to know why President Bush didn’t do more before 9-11. The people who voiced unmitigated rage at the thought of "preemptive" action in Iraq are now demanding to know why we didn’t take preemptive action against al Qaeda. These freaks switch from attacking President Bush’s administration for its passiveness to attacking it for its aggressiveness more often than Richard Gere switches gerbils! They will ask why he didn’t do more in his first 233 days, but will never question Clinton's inaction during his 2,900 plus days. The Democrats have sunk to a new low. They are playing politics with a war and our national security -your security. Being reelected means more to them than anything else. It means more to them than any single soldiers life. It means more to them than you and your family being safe and being able to provide for yourselves. Don’t believe me? Sit back for a second and look at what they are saying. They are down talking the war, the economy and our security. So, following that logic in order for them to get elected the war needs to take a turn for the worse, the economy needs to tank and America needs to be attacked again. Good news spells bad times for them. That attitude sucks, it is anti-American, and it needs to be done away with. Negative, negative, negative. <more on their negative –bad for America good for us - campaign later> Essentially, what they are trying to do with these hearings is turn a legitimate war into a tabloid scandal. That is sick. And they are doing it all just to retain or gain political office. Everything else be damned. It makes me grip. Most Americans are more concerned that 9-11 never happen again than they are whether it may or may not have been prevented. Stop looking back and start looking forward. We can sit around from now until Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones... ummm...exscuse me, sorry... I mean, from now until the cows come home and debate whether or not the Bush administration could have prevented 9/11. Maybe yes, maybe no. We know it is no. But I will guarantee you one thing. If President Bush had tried to stop it. If he had tried to preemptively take the exact same actions that the Democrats are now accusing him of failing to take they would have ran to the floor of the Senate and screamed for his impeachment. I know it. You know it. The shovel knows it. Timm 5, Apr, 2004 So, John Kerry is standing up and disgorging his idea of using our strategic oil reserves as a means of lowering gas prices. Well, well, what a quaint little way to go about getting the liberal press to give credence to one of your boarder line retarded ideas. Believe me, the uninformed are on that idea like Mama Cass on a ham sandwich. The sad thing is he knows that a statement like that will ring of brilliance and go unquestioned because most of the electorate in this country are completely unversed on any issue other than who just got voted into the next round of Survivor. Where to start here? Lets start with why gas
prices are up and then go on to First off, there is a higher demand for gas here in America because the economy is moving and people are doing more. It may be pleasure or it may be business, either way consumption is up. It is up more in some parts of the country than in others and that just happens to be part of the problem. See, the wonderful environmentalists have gotten so many regulations passed that we now have as many blends of gas as Starbucks does coffee. What this means is that gas can’t just be shipped from one region to the next in order to meet demands. It is like this. A blend of gas in, say, Texas may not be legal in, say, Iowa. So if Texas is low on gas and Iowa has 10 times more than they need, they can’t just ship their surplus down to Texas to meet the demand because it wouldn’t pass the "environmental" standards set forth by the movement morons. What a load of crap! Other factors here in America- in the 1970's we had twice as many oil refineries operating as we do now. The last time we opened a new refinery was in 1976! Can you believe that? Now, outside the United States. We have Saudi Arabia. The Saudi’s think that their oil supply has reached its peak, and is on its way to running out, so they are trying to cash in while they can. Think about it, once the oil dries up they won’t have anything left but sand. I don’t see people paying $80 a barrel for sand. They have no other resources, so they have to get theirs now. Secondly, and I think more importantly, we have
China buying more oil now than ever. That is driving the price up. (we
call that supply and demand)
This brings me to our strategic oil
reserves and why they should be left alone. Do you know what those
reserves are for? They are for emergencies and crises: Like, lets say, an
uncommon crisis that most of us call WAR! Which just happens to Just what would we do if something went horribly wrong over there and suddenly our foreign oil supply was shut off? The libs won’t let us drill here. We would be screwed. And I am not talking about screwed in the sense that people couldn’t drive their cars to work or to the grocery store. I’m talking screwed in the sense that we couldn’t keep our military machinery operating. Which means we couldn’t defend and/or protect ourselves. That is why we keep the strategic oil reserves, horse face. We do not save them up so that someone may use them to lower gas prices in a FREAKING campaign year!! Think about it now. Just suppose President Bush
did open the reserves like Kerry and all his myrmidons are clamoring for
him to do. Ok. Then just imagine if our oil supply got cut off during this
war. You know how it would go. They would immediately turn right back
around and start screaming that our troops didn’t have what they needed
This is what it boils down to, folks. John Kerry knows that people are upset with the gas prices, as they should be. He also knows that most of them are government educated and have no idea why the gas prices are as high as they are right now. So he is going to play it, even though he honestly knows better. Sad. Here is a novel idea. How about lowering the price of gas by cutting some of the taxes we pay on it? Right, I didn’t think that would fly. The government will never do with less. WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! Anyway, leave the strategic oil reserves alone, you idiots. If there are any strategic reserves that you Democrats need to dip into, I’d say it would be your intellectual reserves. But, now that I think about it, I believe that Zell Miller has already drained those dry. You lose! Timm 29, Mar, 2004 Have you had enough of the 9-11 - or as I like to call them the ‘I’m Richard Clarke, look at me world!’ - hearings? Could the Democrats in congress and their myrmidons in the profusely liberal press be any more blatant in what they are trying to do? "Lets get Bush!" It's not going to work, but I hope Richard
Clarke’s book publisher is grinning like a butchers dog. This whole thing
is so contrived that it makes me sick! Would someone take a shovel to that
dudes dome for me? The way the press is handling this Clarke clown, you’d
think he was in Philadelphia in 1776 to help draft the original version of
the Declaration of Independence! His words, "I was spinning then, but I don’t have to spin now." What in the hell? How often do you trust a liar? He was lying then but he is not lying now? We should just trust him. This is his intellectual response to being caught in a lie! A lie is a lie is a lie, you pud! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! God all freaking mighty, we have reached a point where you can’t take a man for his word on anything!! I guess that explains the proliferation of trial lawyers. But, I’m not going to get into that and I am not going to get into the ‘blame game’ that both sides are salivating over. Sure, I could point out all of the unanswered terrorist attacks that went on during Clinton’s administration, but I won’t. <I’ll just blame him for everything else - including the sinking of the Titanic and the bubonic plague in the 1800's! > Anyway, blame is not what this is about. The hearings going on right now are exactly why
people do not show up to vote. This is why people tune Washington, and all
that it entails, out! These freaks in congress are acting like the
childish, megalomaniacal, over paid, attention starved, reprobates that
they are. Watching these hearings is like watching a group of 5 year olds
go back and forth placing the blame on one another for starting a forest
fire. "It is his fault because he lit the match. No, it is his fault
because he brought the matches. No, it is his fault because he showed us
where the forest was." God Almighty! SHUT UP!
Why should we vote when we see that this is what we are going to get out of it? Do these sort of ‘trials’ actually make you think that your vote counts? Hell NO! My God, we need limited terms. <that is another rant> Anyway, shut the hell up and at least try and act like you are doing what we voted you in to do, you bunch of ego habituates. Your showboating is a blatant slap in the face to people who vote for you. Not to mention the ones who have stood up and DIED for the right that lets you stand up and make an ass out of yourself! What you are doing right now truly makes voting seem pointless. You guys talk a big game, but once you get in office you hit your knees quicker than Madonna in a NBA locker room. Could you imagine being the cop or insurance adjuster who had to figure out who was responsible for a car wreck between two of these freaks? The blame game would go on for decades! They would go to their graves denying any responsibility. They would pull in other motorist and put together special counsels to see who was "really" at fault and then they would get together and figure out a way to blame it on a third party. And, you know what would happen with that...... they would eventually posthumously place the blame squarely on the shoulders of Henry freaking Ford! Holy Mother f**^&^(%^#@$##$@$%&(*&^%$$%^&* )($%$%^&*)(*&$#@@#$% GRIP! This back biting partisan crap does not interest
the American people. Truth be told, we aren’t worrying over why 9-11
happened. We know we are a free nation and we reluctantly understand that
there will be some evil in that freedom. We will deal with it as it comes.
We don’t care about these trials and we don’t care to "pin the finger" on
one of the parties. And believe you me, that is ALL that this thing is about - trying to place blame on one of the parties for political gain over the other. I say, Go f**k yourself, Mr. Representative! F**k yourself and die! We have better ways to spend our time! Here is what we are really concerned about and want answers to. Are our planes safe to fly on? Can we enter the mall without worrying that the building is going to explode? Can we enter a bank without worrying that some zealot might blow us to pieces? Are our trains safe? Can we ride them with the reasonable assurance that someone won’t detonate a bomb and leave us all dead or horribly mangled? Is a cargo ship going to sail into a New York harbor with a dirty bomb, and BOOM level the city. That is what we want to know! So, screw you and your pony show cover up that you are trying to masquerade as a trial! Go have a stroke or an unfortunate accident!! Man, do you remember the days when you used to have to pay hard earned cash to see a freak show? Now you can tune your tv to a senate hearing and see it for free. Hell, add a couple drunk midgets, some cotton candy and a few shots of bathtub gin, and you will have yourself a full blown freaking circus! Enough of that, lets talk about the charges that are being leveled. The Democrats are saying that President Bush
should have dealt with Think about it, if President Bush had announced that he was going to invade Afghanistan because they posed a terroristic threat, these people would have dropped a load in their pants! Can you just imagine what their response would have been? "Look at him! Afghanistan hasn't done anything to us. He is a war monger! He has only been in office 9 months and already he is wanting to start a war. Hawk! War monger right-wing extremist!" You know that is how they would have handled it. Remember how they called our waiting almost a year before going into Iraq a "rush to war!" Could the media be any more obsequious in their agenda? Besides, Iraq wasn’t pre-emptive, it was a response to Saddam ignoring twelve years of UN resolutions. ( The UN.... man, do we need to get out of that club?) But, back to the partisan point - how can any normal thinking human vote for a liberal Democrat when they set themselves up the way they do? Bad for us equals good for them, no matter how you look at it. They stand on the opposite end of every issue no matter what it is. They will vote against letting President Bush go into Iraq and then turn around and blame him because he didn’t go in. The people who are standing up in these hearings asking why the President didn’t do something sooner are the same ones who said, and still say, that he shouldn’t have acted preemptively. Christ! They need to be beat to death with a shovel! We truly have a damned if you do, damned if you don’t society in America. It is mostly made up of Democrats, but the Republicans aren’t that far behind. Come to think of it -- why aren’t we investigating the entire damn congress! After all, they are the ones who appropriate the money that is used to protect us. They are the ones who hold up bills and diddle back and forth over the inane minutia of how we are supposed to conduct our lives. The President can’t act without them, so why aren’t we investigating them? Why aren't they being questioned? Why aren’t we pounding their skulls flat? Why is George Carlin still breathing? <sorry, got a bit carried away> What did they know, when did they know it and why in the hell did they throw it into committee instead of just acting on it? We need a million shovel march on Capitol Hill! God all mighty! This stuff just pisses me right the hell on off! We are in midst of WW 4 and we must win it. And we will, despite the morons. Enough with these mindless hearings. They are nothing but a waste of our taxes. They are nothing more than a chance for these clowns to get face time on TV. This is nothing more than political bling bling to them. If you buy into it, you are a God damned moron! Go away! Ya know, to be honest... President Bush didn’t start the war on terrorism. The war on terrorism started on flight 93 when those people attacked the terrorist and put that plane down in the middle of an empty field just to save other American lives. I'm pissed. Maybe I need to lay back and relax.
Get a massage - one of those where they put cucumbers on your
eyelids! I don't know, but I think I’m done for now, Timm 15 & 22, Mar, 2004 The liberals just
can't seem to help themselves when it comes to reporting. They are
becoming more and more bold and blatant with their slant. If this Here is the headline... Accused spy is cousin of Bush staffer It is true, but lets read on. WASHINGTON -- The woman charged with working for the Iraqi spy agency is a distant cousin of President Bush's chief of staff, Andrew Card, and has held a variety of jobs in journalism and on Capitol Hill. A distant cousin? How distant? Can they marry outside of Alabama? I'll tell you what all of this is going to come down to as far as reporting on scandals is concerned. It is going to be like that "Six degrees from Kevin Bacon" game. I'm sure you all know the game. It is where you can go from a friend of a friend <within 6 people> and find someone who knows or has met the guy. It is completely vapid and asinine, but morning DJ's seem to find it astonishing. Anyway, the press is going to find some sort of way to tie everything that pops up to President Bush. Even if it isn't true. Remember- to the liberals it doesn't have to be true, it just has to be repeated until people believe it! Moving on...
The headline of the story was really the only thing that they wanted
people to notice. If you read on, the actual "story" in this story doesn't
appear until you are SIX paragraphs into it!!! That just happens to
be about four more paragraphs than your average person reads. hhhmmmm
ssshhhhh...
agenda? no, I don't
see any....
Right. WHAP!
Lindauer started her congressional career in 1993 when she took a job with Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore. The next year she went to work for a second Oregon Democrat in the House - Ron Wyden. Two years later she joined the staff of Sen. Carol Moseley Braun, D-Ill. ....she worked for Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., for a few months in 2002. Follow me, here. So, she worked for all of these Democrats - one of which was a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE! <the candidacy was a complete joke - but still> - yet they chose to headline the story by linking her to President Bush. That bias stinks so bad I wouldn't stick my shovel in it! WHAP! If all that wasn't enough, they ended it with this... Lindauer's neighbors in Takoma Park, Md., recalled her as friendly. Can we stop it already with asking the neighbors about the person? They ALWAYS say the person was nice and friendly and neighborly and blah, blah, blah, blah! No matter how heinous, innocent or violent the crime, it is always the same thing. "He was so friendly, I never would have expected...." We have never
seen a neighbor interviewed who said, "I've been telling them for
years that that freak
was going to chop up his wife and make Brunswick stew out of Why do the mongoloids in the press insist on trying to make news out of the blatantly obvious? I fully expect to wake up one day, turn on one of these morning TV news shows and find that they have a reporter standing outside with a "live" report to inform us that "the sun rose from the east this morning." uugghhh swing swing Journalism is proof positive that there is a safety net in this country. By God, if you can't figure out how to operate that french-fry machine or if using a yard rake proves to be too mentally challenging for you - don't sweat it, you can always get a job as a journalist. All you have to remember is, stand on the left!
8, Mar, 2004 WILL THE REAL JOHN KERRY PLEASE STAND UP - OR SHOULD I SAY, SHUT UP! Just where does John Kerry stand?
In 1988, when welfare reform came up, he voted against a proposal to require at least one parent in any two-parent welfare family to work a whopping 16 hours a week, declaring that the work requirement was "troublesome to me." But then, during his 1996 re-election campaign, he voted for a much stricter reform and called his Republican challenger soft on welfare. Clinton reluctantly ended up signing that reform into law. In 1993 he voted against mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes, gang activity, drug trafficking, and drug sales to minors, claiming that it would be an "enormous injustice" and made no sense. Today, I guess since he is a presidential candidate, he strongly supports mandatory minimum sentences for the sale of drugs to minors. In a debate in 1996, he
derided the idea of capital punishment for terrorists as a "terrorist
protection policy," saying that it would just discourage other nations
from extraditing captured terrorists to the United States. Huh? How
transparent is that? We are all aware of the alacrity those nations have
to "drop a dime" on terrorist aren't we? That usually happens some time
between never and never-ever freaking ever!!! Hello, tard? Anyway, he is
against capitol punishment but now he makes an exception for terrorists.
Today, his web site pledges to "Preserve Affirmative Action," saying that he "consistently opposed efforts in the Senate to undermine or eliminate affirmative action programs, and supports programs that seeks to enhance diversity." Yet in 1992, he freaked out the liberals and civil rights groups by arguing that affirmative action has "kept America thinking in racial terms" and helped to promote a "culture of dependency." In December 2002, he gave a speech in Cleveland stating that he wanted to end the unfair "double taxation" of stock dividends to promote more investment. Then, a little over a month later when President Bush proposed a second round of tax cuts that included an end to this double taxation, he stepped to the other side. He voted against the dividend tax cuts. They passed anyway, but he has said that he will roll them, and all other tax cuts, back if he is elected president. WHAP! On to other stuff. The
press would have you believe Vietnam Veterans are "rallying" around John
Kerry’s campaign - they aren't. Most veterans despise him because of his
actions after he left Vietnam. He spit on the code of leaving You won't hear this in the press but General Vo Nguyen Giap, who was in charge of the North Vietnamese military campaign that ended up driving the U.S. out of South Vietnam, credited Kerry's ''Vietnam Veterans Against the War'' with helping him achieve victory. He has, on more than one occasion, said that he believes groups like Kerry’s, along with the American media, played an important part in Hanoi finally winning the war.
If that doesn't anger you, then I don't know what will! Man!!! Put that in front of your shovel and beat it!!!!
Kerry received three purple hearts. He has admitted that one of them cost him about two days of service, and that the other two did not interrupt his duty. He claimed himself to be ''walking wounded." Where is Mc Cain on this? Anyway, he used the third one to get out early. I'm not going to say any more about that, though. God bless him for his service to our country. You decide.
He was recently named "Most Liberal Senator" by the National Journal, with a composite score of 96.5. Flip-flop, flip- flop! Fat Ted Kennedy couldn't even touch that!
Yet today he says he believes the war was a mistake, and that he voted to authorize the threat of force, but not the actual use of it. Talk about doublespeak! These liberals still haven't figured out that threats are empty. I don't know about you, but I have never bloodied a nose with a threat!
What does this monkey know about force? We wouldn't have the dominant military we have today if the vote was left to him. He voted NO on every one of these bills.....Stealth Bomber (S. 3189), B-1 Bomber (S. 3189), F-14 (H. R. 5803), F-15 (S. 3189) , F-16 (S. 3189), AV-8B Harrier Vertical Takeoff And Landing Jet Fighters (H.R. 2126), AH-64 Apache Helicopters (H.R. 2126), Patriot Missiles (S. 3189), Aegis Air Defense Cruiser (S. 3189), Trident Missile System For U.S. Submarines (S. 3189), M-1 Abrams Tanks (S. 3189), Bradley Fighting Vehicle (S. 3189), Tomahawk Cruise Missile (S. 3189)
I guess he expects us to fight with b.b. guns, or better yet - not to fight at all!
Recently in the debates in Wisconsin, he was asked by the moderator -- "Senator Kerry, President Bush a week ago on "Meet the Press" described himself as a war President. He said he's got war on his mind as he considers these policies and decisions he has to make. If you were elected, would you see yourself as a war President?"
His response - "I'd see myself first of all as a jobs President, as a health care President, as an education President and also an environmental President."
Surely that quote has you white knuckle gripping your shovel.
Lastly, you are going to hear him talk about jobs and companies moving them over seas and blahdda, blahdda. He has recently referred to the CEO's of companies who practice that act as "Benedict Arnolds."
Well, we all know he is married to Teresa Heinz, the catsup queen. Right? Did you know that the Heinz company has 79 factories? Out of that 79, how many do you think are in the United States? How about only 22!!! How fast can you say, hypocrite?
This guy is a slam dunk if President Bush goes at him with the same sack that he is going at the terrorist with! 1, Mar, 2004 Can you believe all these people? Jeez, would the freaks please shut up? Where to start here? How tedious is it that all this criticism and hubbub started months before this movie was even finished?! My God, it makes my eyebrows ache! It just shows that they had an agenda and they were going to stick with it no matter how the movie turned out. In others words, the content of the film didn't matter. What do you think the reaction would have been if Mel had scrapped the entire project? Would they have praised him for not making such a grievous error and then just let it go? No. They would still be harping about the fact that he even had the idea in the first place. I have about had it with the whining about the movie being too focused on violence. The movie is about Jesus’ DEATH! I know in some liberal minds, death would involve yoga and cocoons and butterflies and sugar and spice and everything nice. That isn’t reality! Outside of natural causes, death is, more often than not, violent! What is it about this that they don't get? The movie is about his sacrifice. His sacrifice was BRUTAL! Very brutal! What else do you want them to focus on? Let me guess, Halliburton and the fact that the air was cleaner back then because we didn’t have the combustible engine! grip! The movie critics are saying it is too violent. Hello?? These critics are the same people who watched movies like Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan and then claimed that the violence in those movies was -- true to what happened and not over exaggerated. Then we have the directors saying it is too violent. Again, hello?? This from people who don’t bat an eye at movies like, Silence of the Lambs, Gladiator, or Natural Born Killers. They stood and applauded when Silence of the Lambs won 5 Academy Awards. Gladiator was put on a pedestal with 12 Oscar nominations. How can they now turn around and claim that there is too much violence in this film? Typical liberals! Shut up!! We also have TV news anchors criticizing it as being too violent. What? Too violent? This from the people who daily live by the axiom that "IF IT BLEEDS IT LEADS!" My God, this is getting too maddening. Get me my shovel! Sorry, but if I don’t stop here I am going to take my shovel to my own skull. Well, one last thing. Just where in the hell are Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and those other mindless vagabonds? Remember when the war in Iraq started and they were all running around complaining that President Bush was "getting" us into this war? Baghdad Sean even went so far as to go over there and perform his own personal search for WMD’s. He flew half way around the world to look for Weapons of Mass Destruction. That idiot could have been snorting a big fat line of Columbian monkey dust off of one those WMD's and he still wouldn't have found one. He isn't a scientist, so I don’t know what qualifications he thinks he has to go looking for WMD’s. Well now that I think about it, I'm sure he did spend a lot of time in the laboratory after having sex with Madonna!! hmmmm? Might be something there - in more ways than one. Anyway, when those buffoons started spewing their mindless viewpoints, Americans started voicing their disagreement by not going to their movies. So they - in typical moronic liberal fashion - started screaming "blacklisting." They were trying to compare American people choosing how they were going to spend their hard earned money to blacklisting. Idiots! Blacklisting is when you are shut out by motion picture studios, companies and directors. That is exactly what is happening to Mel Gibson!! SO, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS NOW THAT IT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING? You people are oh so predictable! You may take a stand here and there, but in the end you actually stand for nothing. You have no convictions. That is probably the true root of all of this - this movie is about morality, conviction and judgment. Three things you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole! Mel put up about 30 million of his own money to make this film. By the time you read this he will have made all of that back - I'll say all that and doubled it! Need I point out that that is one of the reasons "Hollywood" is so angry. Those people are pissed because he did it without them. No one in Hollywood can glom onto it. No producers, directors, studios, production companies, advertisers, agents... etc, etc. The entire movie was done entirely by his company. <production, direction, effects, ...etc.> You get the point! He did it entirely by himself and the movie will end up grossing 98% percent more than any of the crap that those liberal labor run studios will produce this year. You watch! I say, let them "BLACKLIST" him. Do you think that he cares? With this movie, he has just proven that he does not need them! 16, Feb, 2004 On the phone with John
TIMM: "Hello, Mr. Mellencamp. Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it." JOHN: "Not a problem, man. Call me John." "Ok, John. Thanks. Well, I guess we should just get right into it. I - as I'm sure a lot of people do - wonder how someone who wrote Little Pink Houses, Rain on the scarecrow, and R.O.C.K. in the USA could then turn around and write the song, "To Washington". I really like a lot of your music, but it wouldn’t bother me if I never heard that song again. It just seems odd to me. Where did it come from?" "I wrote it because... well. we face the unpleasant reality of an uncertain future, compromised safety, a failing economy, and the question of how a society of otherwise reasonable citizens was systematically lied to and manipulated into backing the political hijacking of Iraq." "Well the future, by nature, is uncertain, but how can you call the freeing of a people a hijacking? The raping and torturing has stopped. There is no more filling of mass graves with innocent Iraqi bodies. The dictator is gone and the people - people as old as you and I - are finally, for the first time in their lives, getting their VERY first taste of freedom. The way I see it, we have done a good thing. No? "Well, 39,000 bombs later, no weapons of mass destruction uncovered, no connection to Sept 11. What have we gained but relentless media coverage of a fallen statue and some stolen oil fields -- the spoils of this misadventure?" "How about the fact that that madman is no longer slaughtering his people. And how sad is it that we call them "his people" ? To me that is a disgusting statement. We in America believe that we are all born free, yet we passively let the "his people" statement slide by. uggh.. Anyway, America went over there and removed him. Sure there were sacrifices and lives were lost, given up, on both sides, but...." "In addition to the
lives given for this effort, our nation has suffered the loss of respect
within the world community, particularly the United Nations. We have managed
to squander any goodwill we once had to now succeed in solidifying our image
as the globe's leading bully. Arrogant and thoughtless." "This planet is going to have a super power. There is no way around that. Surely you agree that it should be us, < The U.S.> who should be that power. We don’t need good will, we are good will. The U.N. would cease to exist without us. How can you call us a bully when we are standing up for someone who can’t stand up for themselves? How can you not see that we are doing the right thing and how can you accuse, or place blame on, President Bush for any of this?" "George W Bush has lied to us, failed to keep our own borders secure, entered a war under false pretense, endangered lives, and created financial chaos. How is it that he hasn't been recalled?" "Well, it isn’t constitutional to recall- for one, but..." "Perhaps this time
we could even have a real election . . . but that wouldn't fit the Bush
administration's "take what you want and fire people later" policy. Take an
election; take an oil field; take advantage of your own people -- a game of
political Three-Card Monte."
"President Bush didn’t "take" the election. I guess you didn’t notice it, but the press was all over the recount until the recounts showed that Gore had - without a shadow of a doubt - lost the election. The story disappeared after that. Other than the press letting the liberal Democrats run around and shout, "selected not elected!" That is a bit maddening and they are making perception a reality by doing it. Anyway, that aside, President Bush is taking it to the terrorist, keeping the attacks off our shores and - basically - keeping America safe and looking out for us." "Are we looking out for America or are we paying someone else's bills or are we fleecing people through our tax dollars? Eighty-four billion dollars to keep this war alive. Do you know what we could do with eighty-four billion, not to mention these poor kids that are out there getting killed and for what?" "Eighty-four billion is nothing compared to our GDP. But, I am assuming you are going to go to the big oil card with that, so I will just say we are doing it to keep America safe and free." "That’s what people in World War I, World War II, the Korean and the Vietnam War died for." "What? I... ugghh... jeeezzz! Do you remember September eleventh? 9/11We were attacked!" "Yes, but - when people are afraid, they make emotional decisions. Things are different now. Ya know, this nation was founded to enable freedom and diversity of opinion, and many lives have been lost to secure that liberty. Paradoxically, some still resist the open mindedness that is the very foundation of this country. You know, freedom of speech, people should say what they want to be able to say, but they shouldn't have people making disparaging comments about them." "You just paradoxically contradicted yourself. <silence> Basically you just said people should be able to say what they want to say while at the same time saying that other people shouldn’t have the right to voice their disagreement with them. That is a contradiction that would melt Einstein's hypothalamus! I just don’t understand how you can be so Jane Fonda on this. I’m not going to call you a traitor, but I find some of this hard to stomach. You say things like this and then refer to President Bush and other Americans as "flag wavers." "Well.. who is to say what is or isn't patriotic? Do the flags that wave from every minivan really offer any support? Each day, as the dust settles and the truth slowly surfaces, more and more people come to the inevitable conclusion of what a debacle this whole war was." "Well, no. But you can see it as your myopic mind will. I guess your album entitled American Fool describes you to the T. <did I just throw in a T? Damn, right I did! > You haven’t released anything in a few years, do you have anything new on the plate?" "I'm going to release a double CD this time next year on October 7 of greatest hits from my entire career with a few new songs and I'm gonna go on the biggest tour I've gone on since '88 starting next October." "Well, if I see it on the stands I will definitely take a shovel to it."
Hahahahaha. How long did I have you? I didn't actually talk to John Mellonhead, but those are direct, word for word, quotes from interviews with him. I took them from Rolling Stone, CNN, CBS, FOX, New York Times...etc. All I did was ask the question the way I would have. <because I have a sack and most reporters don't> I didn't take any of it out of context. If you don't believe me, let me know and I will post the links to all the stuff I went through so you can look at it yourself. I like a lot of his music, but do you think I will ever buy any of it again? NO! Just me, Timm 9, Feb, 2004 I have had it up to my eyeballs with the flap over President Bush being AWOL during the Vietnam war. This story was dealt with in the 2000 elections and proven to be nothing more than a partisan smear campaign. It was so far out there that papers as liberal as the Boston Globe and The L.A. Times denounced the charge. But alas they all seem to have forgotten that, because the story is back again. It is back because John Kerry, decorated Vietnam veteran, is quickly leaving his fellow Democrat primary candidates in the dust. As you read on, keep in mind that my point here is not to impugn his service to our country in Vietnam. I thank him for that and God Bless him for it. Rather my point is to show that he, and all other liberals, change positions more often than Amber Lynn on the set of Crocodile Blondee! Here is a quote from a speech he delivered on the Senate floor on February 27, 1992. He is addressing these comments to President George Bush. 41 for those who are counting.
"Mr. President........ I am saddened by the fact that Vietnam has yet again been inserted into the campaign, and that it has been inserted in what I feel to be the worst possible way. By that I mean that yesterday, during this presidential campaign, and even throughout recent times, Vietnam has been discussed and written about without an adequate statement of its full meaning The race for the White House should be about leadership, and leadership requires that one help heal the wounds of Vietnam, not reopen them; that one help identify the positive things that we learned about ourselves and about our nation, not play to the divisions and differences of that crucible of our generation. We do not need to divide America over who served and how. I have personally always believed that many served in many different ways. We do not need more division. We certainly do not need something as complex and emotional as Vietnam reduced to simple campaign rhetoric. What saddens me most is that Democrats, above all those who shared the agonies of that generation, should now be refighting the many conflicts of Vietnam in order to win the current political conflict of a Presidential primary." A side note: The day before this little diatribe he spoke in Atlanta - as a presidential candidate - where he criticized Bill Clinton for his lack of military service during Vietnam! Imagine that? One day he is blasting Bill Clinton about Vietnam and the next he is blasting the President for even mentioning Vietnam. hmmm <shovel please> He is the same way today - One day he is for the war the next day he isn't. One day he says we need more troops in Iraq and the next day he wants to bring them all home. This should give you some idea of what John Kerry, decorated Vietnam veteran, truly believes. That would be, nothing! He, like all liberals, speaks in the moment and will try and convince you that he believes in whatever it is that you hope he believes in. It is like these people are in a perpetual hostage crisis and they will say whatever they think they need to say to convince their constituency that they should be allowed to live. Anyway, it is twelve years later and Kerry, decorated Vietnam veteran, is doing it again. Every time you see John Kerry, decorated Vietnam veteran, giving a speech he brings up his service record. He is inserting Vietnam into the campaign every chance he gets. Twelve years ago that sort of action saddened him. Twelve years ago John F. Kerry, decorated Vietnam veteran, was saddened by the fact that Vietnam would be reduced to simple campaign rhetoric. Today he is using it as campaign rhetoric. (By the way, I think the F stands for Frankenstein! I wonder just how much botox is in that enormous forehead of his.) Twelve years ago John F. Kerry, decorated Vietnam veteran "personally always believed that many served in many different ways." Yet, today he questions President Bush’s Vietnam record. This leads to
something that I don’t understand. The liberals who are questioning
President Bush’s Vietnam service are the EXACT same liberals who spent EIGHT
years Anyway, if the fact that he dogged the draft was ever mentioned, the liberals simply refused to acknowledge it. The usual response was, "Oh, please. Can’t we just move on? blah, blah, blah..." Maddening! These liberals would make a bigger issue out of President Bush having failed a shoe shine inspection than they would Bill Clinton running over seas and protesting against our country during a time of war. And then they want to turn around and praise Kerry, decorated Vietnam veteran, for his service in Vietnam. These people - and this really makes me grip my shovel - are the exact same people who spit in the faces of our soldiers when they returned from that retched hell hole of a jungle we so politely call Vietnam. White knuckle gripping now! <where is Peter?> I guess if I were
forced to find anything positive from 9-11 That, to me, was the worst atrocity of that war. If ever there was a lesson that our nation should have learned, if ever there was a mistake that our nation should NEVER EVER repeat again, that is it. God bless our troops! 4, Feb, 2004 To the liberals in
the press there will never be a justifiable reason for our going into Iraq.
They keep saying that we went in unilaterally. Unilaterally? 18 of the 26
members of NATO have troops on the grounds in Iraq. Over 60 countries have
troops there. Yet they continue to parrot the Democrats claim that we have
acted unilaterally, Bush is a cowboy and that we should have taken the time
to build a coalition with our allies. Now, if it isn't the "unilateral" claim, it is the weapons of mass destruction claim. It is true that we haven't found them yet, but so what if we haven't and what if never do. Is it just me or do you find it strange that these compassionate, civil rights "defenders" choose to ignore that we have freed a people? We can find mass grave after mass grave filled with tens of thousands of bodies, but they will choose to ignore that fact if we don't find 3 ounces of yellow cake or mustard gas. These people are willing to ignore the fact that we removed a murderous dictator just so they can scream that "Bush hasn't found the WMD's yet!" No bias there, huh? We will find the weapons. But to the liberals it won't be enough. We could find 8,500 liters of anthrax and the liberals would actually yell, "The president said he had 10,000 liters. The president lied!!" Or they will just accuse him of planting them. Gripping your shovel yet? Anyway, here is a list of quotes from the liberals who are moaning about President Bush lying about the WMD's just so he could drag us into a war. How odd that they were once saying that Saddam had them, that he needed to be dealt with. . Don't you just love people who say only what they think is politically expedient at the time?
2, Feb, 2004 Super Bowl XXXVIII
CONGRATS TO THE PATS!!
Man! What a game!! Those guys pounded the snot out each other! I think a shovel would have given either team that extra little edge that would have helped swing them over the top. But all in all it was a very good battle! It was an excellent game as far as Super Bowls go. The lead went back and forth and back forth. Just what you would want from a game like this. A fight that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It went right down to the wire, but in the end the Pats, much like Justin, somehow managed to just barely pull it off!
They will spin this like they didn't mean for it to happen. YEAH RIGHT!! Like Janet always wears nipple tassel!! Well, come to think of it - she is a Jackson, so who knows! Switching gears. Can I just say that Chris Burman is an enormously fat, astonishingly annoying, total lack of talent. Will one of you guys call Pittsburg and see what it would cost me to buy the huge amount of steel that it would take to build a shovel big enough to beat that fat load? I hate ESPN!! 19, Jan, 2003 No rant today. At the risk of boring the spider snot out of you guys, I am going to explain just how the Iowa caucuses work. I'm sure you have had it up to your eyeballs hearing about them and you will surely be sick of them by the end of the night. But, if you thought Florida was nuts in the 2000 election with all the recounting and not being exactly sure of the count, this one will make you grab your shovel and go in search of an innocent victim. Especially if it is close! Ok. Here we go. All the registered Democrats get
together in rooms in the precinct they belong to. It can take hours. First
they choose local party officers and sit through a lot of talk about party
activities. Then the caucus chair asks everybody to express their
preferences among the presidential candidates. Then the chair tells the
Howard Dean people to stand in this corner, the Dick Gephardt people If you're in the Gephardt corner, you can probably stay there. But if you're in the Dennis Kucinich corner, look out. The party has a "viability" rule: If a group doesn't add up to a sufficient percentage of the total vote in the room—at least 15 percent, but, depending on various factors that number can go higher—the chair will declare that group nonviable. So the people in that group will have to decide which of the viable candidates they prefer as a second choice. They go stand in that corner. Other Kucinich supporters (and Wes Clark supporters, and supporters of any other nonviable candidate) go to other corners, depending on whom they prefer. The chair counts again. That's the realigned vote. Next the chair translates this vote count into a
delegate count. Every viable group gets at least one delegate. The bigger
your group, the more delegates you can earn. But there are two catches.
First, the number of delegates to be distributed in the room depends on how
many Democrats voted in each precinct in the most recent gubernatorial and
presidential elections. If the turnout in a precinct was lousy four
years ago, the vote effectively counts less. Second, if one group is bigger
than another group in the room, that doesn't guarantee it will get more
delegates. The precinct chair phones the county Democratic Party and reports how many county delegates have been awarded to each candidate or to the "uncommitted" in the precinct. The chair also calculates how many state delegates each candidate would probably get based on his number of county delegates. That's the delegate count. So, then, tonight, the Iowa Democratic Party will release the delegate count. Here's when the party will release the raw vote count and the realigned vote count: Never. Never - ever. The party won't compile or even record them, except as a temporary step in most precincts so that the caucus chair can determine how many delegates each candidate gets. The party doesn't want raw votes compiled and released, because it wants the caucuses to be a collaborative activity, not a tally of individual preferences. So you will never know just how close some of these candidates were. Can you say selected not elected? WHAP! Anyway, there you have it. Are you bored to death, confused or shovel gripping suicidal? I say Dean will take this thing by a Jane Fonda hair. <need me to explain that one to you?> And, Dean winning is a VERY good thing! It will be fun to watch because the guy is going to flip his lid and go stark raving nuts at some point in his campaign. Full frontal insanity! 12, Jan, 2003 Bush Sought ‘Way’ To Invade Iraq? Read the story if you want. I'm sure you've already been hearing it regurgitated all over the news. Paul O'Neill has a basket full of sour grapes and the media is salivating over them. Want to talk about media bias? This whole flap about President Bush having a plan to attack Iraq before 9/11 is proof
positive that they are biased
and will slant/spin their news to feed that bias. Grip your shovel here Now, it is true that President Bush had a plan for the invasion of Iraq pre-9/11. What they don't tell you is that it was the invasion plan that Bill Clinton's White House passed on to him. The Commander in Chief might change every 4 to 8 years, but the generals don't. Those guys are there until they decided to leave and they are strategizing, planning and looking over the worlds landscape 24/7. If you stepped into one of their meetings and didn't know any better, you'd think we were actually at war with the rest of the world at that very moment. Anyway, Clinton had a regime change policy from
about 1991 on. He bombed the crap out of him and these guys didn't say a
word. In 1998 Congress passed a bill, the Iraqi Liberation - act,
bill or something; I forget exactly what - that required the
president to have a plan for the invasion of Iraq. I wonder if the media It is very simple. Since 1991 Saddam had not been abiding by the U.N. sanctions. He was continuing with his research and development of chemical weapons and actively trying to obtain the ability to produce a nuclear weapon. He was thumbing his nose at the world, and the United Nations kept allowing him to do it by passing meaningless resolution after meaningless resolution without forcing him to comply. So, with that in mind, why wouldn't President Bush have a plan of attack? To put it simply, he had a plan of contingency. It is called being prepared. Want to know a little secret? We have plans for the invasion of Korea, China, Japan, Germany.... need I go on? There is a difference between a plan of "for" and a plan "to". Did you know that, in the 1920's we had a plan for the invasion of Canada? <oh man... How I wish they would let me pull that thing out and dust it off and fine tune it and take my shovel and execute it!!!!!> President Bush had plans for an invasion on Iraq from his first day in office. He had it because Saddam WASN'T OBEYING THE LAW!!! For 11 years he hadn't been doing what the sanctions demanded he do. So, why wouldn't the president have a plan for dealing with him? Hello? Saddam was trying to make weapons and was slaughtering his own people by the pit full. He needed to be gone! Why is it that Iraq seems to be the only country on this planet where liberals turn a blind eye to human rights? WHAP! So, President Bush is going to be accused of seeking war just because he had a contingency plan for dealing with Iraq. Following that logic... if you purchased fire insurance on your home they would accuse you of planning and wanting to burn it down.
Hello, people! Happy New Year! Nice to see that none of you made the Darwin awards in 03. I'm impressed, and actually amazed considering some of the emails I have been getting. Wow! My "beautiful mind" rant elicited more emails than all my other rants combined! Who left their sense of humor at the door? Take a pill, would ya? I hit a nerve with some of the shovelers. Is it chronic PMS? Dysmenorrhea, is Greek for painful menstruation. Therapies for primary Dysmenorrhea include rest, a heating pad <or softly played guitar> to the lower abdomen, nutrition, aerobic exercise and medication. A well-balanced diet with an adequate intake of calcium and a fluid intake of two quarts of water each day plus vitamin B6, may be helpful. Am I digging myself into a deeper hole? Probably, huh? Ha ha! Jeez! Loosen up. These freaks won't take it to the message board so I'm posting a few of their emails here. Maybe it will draw them out. I was going to put up their email addresses, but out of respect for their privacy I decided against it. Go to the board and yell at them, or me, if you want.
Timm - For the most part I enjoy your
irreverent sense of humor, but your comments on beauty and brains went way
too far. I thought something like that would be way below you. Very
disappointing and childish. I read your page because I enjoy your view and
insight, but if you are going to degenerate into that sort of trash I will
not be back. Cathy What is your point? Everyone too good for you? I'm
sure . Jan I bet you will! I know you will! This page is too infectious! I see that most of you come here every day anyway. If you guys have the courage of your convictions you will go to the board and make your stand with the rest of the shovelers. I've been called a lot of things, but I have never had the elephant man card pulled on me! Funny! I am not an animal, but I will post a few more pics, so you can call me piggish if that is how you feel! HAHA!
22, Dec, 2003 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!
A BEAUTIFUL MIND Finally! Why is it that this is such a hard combination to come by? The brains and beauty? I guess God is so busy with the creation of life that he doesn’t have time to make sure that both attributes are put into the same package. Acumen, more often than not, is illusive to appearances. This goes for both men and women. Follow me here.... How many times have you seen someone and thought to yourself - man O man, if I could just get them alone in a room with a few drinks, a 4 gallon jug of apple butter, some silt fence, a pet rock and a Slim Whitman CD! Yum Yum give me some! Yep. You know exactly what I am talking about. Right? Hubba.. Hubba ... Hubba! So you walk over and strike up a conversation with them, and about 2 minutes after they open their yapper the only reason that you want to get them alone in a room is so that you can beat them to death with a shovel without any witnesses!!! I know you hear me on this. Then there is the other type... you talk to them on the phone and have great conversations. You can’t wait to meet them. Then comes the face to face and they turn out to be a card carrying V.I.P. member at the Star Wars bar!! A satchel faced freak who looks like someone went Rodney King on them with the UGLY stick. The conversations go right out the window and you place a frantic call to Jack Daniels and tell him to fire up the stills in hopes that you can get enough alcohol in you to make them attractive. It rarely works and even if it does it is only temporary. The hangover is never worth it. Lets be honest here - the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" was coined so people would have an excuse for finding ugly people attractive. So, which do you choose? Me? I take the cute face and the nice set of fun bags over the intellect anytime!!! Every time!! I know that makes me shallow. Shallower than a mud puddle. Shallower than the grave of a serial killers victim! But alas, it is a moot point with me - because it is not a choice that I have had to make. CHECK OUT THE NEWS PAGE FOR "THE BEST OF"!
14,Dec, 2003
WELL. WE GOT THE SON OF A BITCH!! JUST WHAT WILL THE LIBERALS DO NOW? GOD ALMIGHTY THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN.......DEVELOPING! 7:06am 12/14 Watch for the press to babble about the affect this will have on the insurgencies. Just how far will the media go to make Saddam look like a "poor soul"? Watch for them to say, "but where is Osama?" hmmm.... Just watch how many of the democrats -WHO OPPOSED THE WAR IN IRAQ - will now race to a microphone and praise this capture. The press will not call them on it. Just how long will it take before we hear just what Hillabitch Clinton thinks? What are you going to say now Howard Dean? I bet something about bringing the troops home. Something about the UN. This is going to be huge as far as the Iraqi people are concerned. Many of them were afraid that America would someday leave and Saddam would come back and exact his vengeance on them. Now they can actually KNOW that they are free. He is gone and will never be back. Watch how things change now. The trial is going to be unbelievable. The mass murders that he ordered, the mass graves of innocent corpses that we have found will all finally be exposed to the world. <or will the press just kind of ignore it again?> Buy stock in court TV!!!!!!!!!! There will be one last swell/uprising from the Saddam hardliners. Kind of like the Battle of the Bulge in WW2. It will probably be bloody. The press will salivate over it. Screw France and screw Germany!!! Just how far will the UN go in trying to take credit for this? How far will the press go to try and play down any credit towards President Bush? What will be the total body count of innocent Iraqis? How many were slaughtered while this appeasement crowd wanted to wait for ANOTHER resolution from the UN?? Will we hear... "but where are the weapons of mass destruction?" or should I say how many times will we hear that? We will hear, "this is great, BUT...." Expect to see more But's than a public toilet at a Mexican chili eating contest!! This has been nothing other than my extemporaneous thoughts as I watched the story beak. Just stuff off the top of my head. The media is going to run it down - What did we know and when. How it went down. Most of you will have seen all of this before you read this since most of you only view my page from work. I will stay on top of it. Check back Monday evening or Tuesday.
Timm's Shovel
|
work building the biggest, most impenetrable wall/fence in the world right
there on the Mexican border. We will have to keep the unions out of it so
as to be assured that the workers won’t be overpaid and that the job will
actually get finished! Up yours, UWA!
Also,
I don’t want to hear the line about young people make mistakes! I still do
things that make me look in the mirror and ask myself, "What in the hell
were you thinking, you bucket-head?"
but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know
is morally right. 
The swearing in of the
President of our country or the swearing at? If you watched the - soon to
be used to be - mainstream media, it was the latter. It makes my shovel
shake. Could the broadcast bozos try any harder to authenticate the
ramblings of the mentally invalid? Liberal is as liberal does, I guess.
On top of that, if they
want to make more money they just vote themselves a pay raise. Isn’t that
nice? They could never make that much money in the private sector, and
they know it. So they keep running. Elections allow them to maintain their
livelihoods. 
Their loss was much bigger than Botox boys. John Kerry’s quest for the
highest office in the land cost him time, effort and a little humility.
No, instead they
immediately started declaring that he needed to reach out and embrace the
ideas of the Democrats. Or, as I like to call them THE LOSERS! WHAP!! Why
would he do that? Every time he has extended his hand they have responded
by slapping it away. He doesn’t need to extend anything other than his
middle finger to those freaks. I think, in his own polite way, that is
what he is going to do. He knows where the press stands and he also knows
that he does not have to worry about getting reelected - so I expect him
to take the gloves off and push his agenda without hesitation. After all,
the American people voted and the result of that vote was for him to set
his shovel on ‘full swing!’
They don’t understand how many people there are around the world who would
give their lives just to be able to vote. Just vote. Too many in this
country won’t take the time to vote because they think it is just too
inconvenient for them. That is insane and sad! WHAP!! 
LOOK AT HIS VOTING RECORD
IN THE SENATE! Look at his votes! If he’d had his way, we would be
fighting terrorism with the specter of the Soviet Union, the cold war,
breathing down our necks right now. Think about that scenario for a
moment. Think about it again. That should make your spine tingle!
My
plan demonstrates a brighter future for our country. My rants will be fair
and equal, and under my administration no one will go without a shovel.
Never! Ever! I promise you that and my plan proves it. 
In 2000 they
complained about the paper butterfly ballots. Now that they have
electronic voting machines, they are complaining that the Republicans have removed any possibility of a "paper
trail"! WHAT?!? Which way do you want it? Liberals are like high
maintenance chicks - no matter what you do, they are never pleased. And as
such, you should just give up on them, fill their shampoo bottles with
NAIR, and tell everyone you know that they will get crabs if they jump in
bed with them. 
Tell us what
your freaking plan is, or would have been! I have had it with hearing, "I
have a plan." What is it? Hi Ho, Silver - tell us your plan!!
tell
you, because there was a little confusion during the vice presidential
debate about the identity of debate viewers. You know, we're polling with
groups of people all the time -- sometimes there are more Democrats home
at night, sometimes there are more Republicans home at night when there's
a debate going on. And one of the things we wonder about is whether,
because this is Friday night, there'd be more Republicans at home than
Democrats, as somebody suggested. But here's the party identification of
the viewers tonight: 35 percent of them were Democrats, 32 percent of them
were Republicans...So it's fairly even among Democrats and Republicans.
And here are the results on who won: 41 percent think Mr. Bush won, 44
percent think Senator Kerry won....."
They can’t believe someone might even cast a
questioning glance at something they say. How dare someone’s eyebrow go
Jack Nicholson when one of them presents a story, huh? Well, with talk
radio, cable news and the Internet people are not only questioning them,
they are no longer even listening to them. They are tuning them out.
Something just occurred to me. Al Gore invented the Internet. At least he
claimed that he did. I guess he shot himself and his brethren in the foot
with that gadget. 
Don’t you think this memo
would have surfaced long before now? Shouldn’t the fact that it popped up
now - under these circumstances, out of nowhere- send up a few red flags?
This is
one big fat Michael Moore smelling lie. Let it go, man! 
The
little wrinkle here is that the typeface was only available on
outrageously expensive printing
systems, which were only used by newspapers. The
font was not available on typewriters. Times New Roman was not a common
font on typewriters until the 70's. So he wasn’t lying there, he just
wasn’t giving you the entire truth. Note to Dick...errr... I mean Dan.....
The ability to film was around in the 30's, but people weren’t walking
around with handheld camcorders back then. WHAP! Tell the entire story and
not just the part that helps you to try and cover your ass! 
They praise him without
question and give him all the camera time he wants.
We all know why. He hasn’t done anything in those twenty years other than
vote against the funding for every weapon that we are using to fight the
war on terrorism right now. WHAP!
So, she starts digging and
she keeps on digging and digging. I keep a mini shovel on me at all times,
so I reached into my pocket and set it on knock out, fully prepared
to use it on MYSELF! She is still digging, only now she is talking again.
Something about her sisters husband being a bad influence on her husband
and something about always being drunk. I don't know. I was just standing
there thinking, " at one time or another this woman has lost money on a
pig race."
While he and other prisoners were over there being held, and while your
fellow country men were still over there dying, your worthless ass was
sitting back here calling them baby killers and making up stories about
them committing atrocities! You aided and abetted the enemy with your
actions and words! You went over there, got out as quickly as you could,
and then came back to the safety of America's shores and cursed the men
who were still over there in the field of battle. You SUCK! God,
this jackass makes me sick! WHAP! WHAP! Two faced, horse faced, mother
***** **** *** ***** *** *******!! Woops, I think I just broke my shovel.
Let me put it this way - She knows that she took the company where it is
but she also realizes that she couldn’t have done it without everyone else
and she just asked for everyone to step up and do it again. She didn’t ask
for anything other than for her people to jump on her back and let her
carry them again. They will and she will. 
And
your morals are for the most part, CRAP!!! You would sell you mother for a
dime!! Do I need Ted Kennedy giving a member of my family driving lesson?
I’d say no! Well, as long as I didn’t desire that their lungs be full of
water! Actually, I’d say we don’t need the power hungry autocrats in
Washington to tell us how to do anything. You got elected, take your check
and go away!! 
They
rerouted more than 1,100 in the first 15 minutes. Do the math! That is
more than one a second! Almost 75% of the planes landed within the first
hour of the attacks. There were 252 jets coming in from Europe and Asia
that were diverted to small airports in Canada. And they did all this
knowing, in the backs of their minds, what was happing in New York and
across our country. 
controllers somehow managed to put all those planes in holding patterns
and bring them down safely. That is planes, you guys! That is not like
some traffic cop standing there and pointing to guide you through a
detour. 
He has said more than once that he is willing to risk his presidency on
this war. Well, if that is so, take the gloves off, flex, and do what is
right. Let them have it. There is no reason why we shouldn’t be letting
Syria hold a MOAB or two or two hundred right now! And then Iran, if they
don’t acquiesce to the pressure around them. <they will though.>
acquainted with this shinny little thing that the rest of us call the SUN!
Sorry, I almost got off track there.
The
people in charge of this war knew that was exactly what would happen and
Congress just proved them to be exactly right. They couldn’t have played
politics any harder if they had all been snorting foot long gagger rails
of Viagra! WHAP!!! 
I say no. Why would I doubt Ted, or the network’s, sincerity? I mean,
other than the fact that they are acquiescent liberals with uncontaminated
biases? 
No agenda
there, huh? If you follow their logic you would have to conclude that the
deaths of our soldiers in Iraq were pointless and senseless, but the 3,000
who died on 9/11 were just a part of the ebb and flow of life. That is
just insane.
think, or operate. Nor do they care to. They aren’t attempting to
report, they are attempting to indoctrinate. 
week? In his opening statement, President Bush talked about Iraq, what was
going on in Iraq and reiterated our plans to deal with it. He mentioned
the good and the bad. He essentially explained the obvious. Or at least
the obvious to those of us who don’t need an instruction manual to operate
a tube of toothpaste! 
as liberators with sweets and flowers, that Iraqi oil revenue would pay
for most of the reconstruction, and that Iraq not only had weapons of mass
destruction, but as Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld said, we know where they
are." 
you
were asked a question about the biggest mistake you'd made in your life,
and you used to like to joke that it was trading Sammy Sosa. You've looked
back before 9/11 for what mistakes might have been made. After 9/11, what
would your biggest mistake be, would you say, and what lessons have you
learned from it?" 
because he was pissed
that President Bush didn’t appoint him as the head of Homeland Security.
That is it, plain and simple. Writing this book was his sniveling little
way of lashing back.
one American. ONE. What
did President Reagan do about that? He bombed the hell out of Libya.
France wouldn’t let us use their airspace to do it, so he "accidentally"
dropped a bomb on the French Embassy!! Hell yes! I LOVE IT! Hehehehehe Sorry, that
memory just sort of puts the shove in my shovel --if you know what I mean.
.
That is what these guys want because they know that perception very often
becomes reality. They also know that their myrmidons in the
dogmatic media will NEVER point out the fact that President Bush wasn’t
President when the Cole was bombed and therefore couldn’t have responded
to it. This will result in people asking why President Bush didn't do
anything when the Cole was bombed simply because they don't know any
better. Just damn!
why anyone who would actually suggest using the strategic oil reserves,
especially right now, is a simpleton who couldn't hold their own
nose, much less public office.
But, why is China buying
more oil? Are they buying it because their people, who can barely afford a
freaking boiled rat and a bowl of rice, have suddenly started buying
Hondas and are now out cruising all over town? No, they are buying it and
using it to fill their strategic oil reserves. Why are they doing that?
China has 2.5 million troops right now, but they are cutting that number
back, way back. Yet they are still spending the same amount of money on
their military. How is that? Well, it is because they are spending more on
technology. They are modernizing. They are cutting back on troops and
putting their money into technology. MISSILE TECHNOLOGY! <thank you Bill
Clinton> China is upgrading their military. Massage that around in your
cranium for a few minutes. Are they preparing for war? And if so, is it
to defend or attack? Hmmmm
be what we are in right now. We are at war. We are at war in the land of
oil! Hello? What is John Kerry thinking? May I borrow one of the
Democrat’s favorite catch phrases and say that we must put the strategic
oil reserves "in a lock box."
because President Bush had
used the strategic oil reserves just to lower gas prices so he would get
reelected! My God, is there anyone who doesn’t see through these lunatic
freaks? They don’t want to fix anything, they just want to keep it on the
workbench so that they can promise to fix it when the next election comes
around. 
Afghanistan before 9-11. These are the same freaks who have been screaming
against "preemptive" action. Follow this twisted logic. We should have
taken action against Al Qaida before we were attacked, but we shouldn’t
have preemptively attacked Iraq. Hello? Does this not scream partisanship?
Does it not tell you that they could give one rats ass about America? All
they want is power. Reelection is the first thought that crosses their
minds when they wake up! Man, I would like to take a shovel and usher them
into the next life! 
headline

seriously consider getting some sort of professional help. I suggest
pouring yourself a big tall glass of Jim Jones Kool-Aid!
her, but they wouldn't listen." It is always, "He seemed so nice." Come on,
THIS ISN'T news! It isn't news anymore than it is news to hear some
dentally challenged, snuff snorting, WWF addicted, Spam guzzling, liquored
up, illiterate,15th generation inbred tell us that the tornado that blew
their trailer away sounded like a freight train. My God!! How many times
have we heard that? It isn't news!!!!!!!!!!!! 
It depends on who is asking

His answer will always depend on which side of the isle he thinks he needs
to be on at the time. It is like walking into a restroom and asking how
long a minute is. The answer will always depend on which side of the
stalls door you happens to be standing on.
Kerry
waffles on every issue tossed at him. President Bush would be wise to go
at him with both barrels on this. I just thought I'd point out a few
waffles since the libs in the media won't. 
no one behind when he got back to our soil and began protesting the war
with the likes of Jane Fonda while United States service men were still
over there dying in the rice fields of Vietnam. On top of that he railed
about massacres and baby killing and executions, none of which were ever
proven except for the massacre at My Lai. <
That Frankenstein looking
freak doesn't seem to understand that we must win this war on terrorism or
he won't be free to be President of any of those things. What an IDIOT!
telling us that
Clinton’s lack of service in Vietnam DIDN'T MATTER! It was something
that we shouldn't worry about. It was something that happened a long time
ago in his fractious youth. Forget about it, they said over and over and
over again. We should concern ourselves with his "vision." After getting a
glimpse of that sow Monica, I think he is the one who should be concerned
with his vision! What a howler! Could you just imagine what this guy
would..... oh, never mind.
it would be that the Vietnam veterans are finally starting to get the
respect they have deserved all these years. It seems 9-11 opened a lot of
peoples eyes as to what a travesty it was that this county allowed those
soldiers to be treated the way that they were treated when they returned to
American soil - or as it is affectionately known to most of us -- HOME!
I wonder, does that make all the countries that are there - as allies! -
feel completely insignificant? Screwed? Like, "Hello, what are we, chopped liver?"
Just sickening!
We

destruction program."

Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to
build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence

in that corner, the John Kerry people in the other corner, etc. There's also
a corner for "uncommitted." Everyone goes to their corner. The chair counts
how many people are in each group. That's the raw vote.
Let's say the chair
has six delegates to distribute, and there are four viable groups. That
leaves two extra delegates, which will probably go to the two biggest
groups. If the third-biggest group has more people than the fourth
group does, tough luck. They each get a delegate, and that's that. (Picked
up your shovel yet?)
will mention that
little fact. I doubt it.
