elections

Conservative Support Group?

With the elections over and The Great and Powerful Ozbama opening the Office of The President Elect (which I am guessing it is a way to say “I want the White House now but I can’t evict the darn occupants just yet), I’ve been reading how the press is finally fessing up to admit they might have been a bit biased in the coverage of the elections in favor of Obama. Well dearies, we kinda suspected that for a while now, maybe that is one reason newspapers have had such dismal sales numbers.

I read the news but yet I did not fall into despair or got mad and from what I have seen among my conservative friends, none of them are suffering from any mental malady because of the election results and sudden confessions of bias from the Mainstream Media. OK, the wallets are taking serious hits as we stock up for the possible renewal of the AWB, hoarding up ammo and raiding reloading supplies but today at the range a whole bunch of us were making jokes about The Great and Powerful Ozbama and happily sending bullets away in our monthly IDPA match. It occurred to me that besides political differences we have great lifestyles differences between the Conservatives and the Liberals. After Bush won both elections, support groups, holistic therapy, aromatherapy and whatever New Age B.S. available for those Liberals that went into catatonic state due to the pressure of having the Oval Office under the evil spell of a Republican. And let us not forget those who actually left the country for foreign Liberal pastures in Canada and Europe (Why they did not go to the Socialist paradises of Cuba and Venezuela remains a mystery to this day) only to return when they could not find a Starbucks or Birkenstocks or good quality tofu in the streets of the South of France or the corners of Montreal.

We Conservatives in South Florida, clung today to our guns with evil high capacity magazines engaged in a barbaric game of violence plus contributed to the Global Warming problem with the gases created by the discharge of our weapons. We laughed, pulled jokes on each other, gave tips where to find the best lead for bullet casting, initiated some 5 new fellows into the Gun Culture and enjoyed a nice day under the sun by the Everglades. The only aromatherapy needed was the smell of burnt propellant and the aromatic smoke of the cigar smokers, our group therapy was the Course of Fire Walk-Through with the inevitable jokes that seem to pop no matter how serious we take our shooting.

And then we left the range, tired yet refreshed with accomplishment. Satisfied we spent several hours with optimists & patriots who take the important stuff serious but not themselves. We hopped in our vehicles to our individual destinations still aware that The Great and Powerful Ozbama will try to make our lives miserable but we will not scare and we certainly will not run away to other countries because this is our country which we promised to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

And we will do it.

Wipe off the tears and raise the Jolly Roger.

Are you done crying and slobbering? Need a hanky?

The die was cast and we lost. Obama is here for Four Years whether we like it or not. John McCain fought like a Gentleman and lost like a Loser. He imposed on himself and his followers asinine Rules of Engagement while the opposition did not bother with such niceties. It is the same stupid concept that hogties our troops in the battlefield and puts them at deadly risk. Make no mistake that McCain rules will end up costing our way of life if we don’t correct the damage inflicted during this campaign.

About The Only Good News, they did not get super majority in Congress. Still they do have the majority and they will try to ramrod as much legislation as they can down our throats without regards for the Constitution. With that in mind let’s put aside briefly what happened and concentrate what we must do for the Congressional elections in 2010.

1) We get rid of the RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) and bring out true conservatives to fill the seats in Congress. NOT ONE PENNY TO ANY POLITICIAN WHO CRAPS OVER THE CONSTITUTION. And no more “terse” letters which make us sound like beggars. We demand that our rights are to be respected and untouched or they will find themselves without jobs and under lots of scorn.  We must get involved in the process! Emails and phone calls are always good, but presence always beats everything else. Drop by your local representative’s office and ask to speak to him or her to voice your opinion. Yes, more likely you will not get him or her, but an aide will meet you and believe me, it will make an impression when they get 10 or 20 personal visits about the same subject. And no “We need contributions to accept your point” but “You make the point and we MAY support you with contributions…if you behave correctly & constantly or we will only not contribute, we will actively make sure you do not get any money for your campaign.” We do not need to make big or impressive speeches, just be direct, polite and stubborn about your cause and hurt them in the pocket when needed it.

2) And then we have the Media.  Newspapers are right now in a very precarious situation. Most of all the big names are hurting bad and cutting jobs to save pennies due to poor circulation. Any rag that promotes and celebrates the restrictions to our freedoms must suffer. If you have a subscription to a paper like that, cancel it. By the same token, if a paper is in favor of all constitutional rights, specially a new struggling one, get not one but two subscriptions, help them out. The Miami Herald lost a customer this morning I am proud to say. I am waiting for them to call me so they can have an idea why I am canceling and I promise you, they won’t like them.

Broadcast News Media (TV) are Right now they are where papers were 10 years ago, starting to slide down but still ignoring the danger. It seems their ratings somehow suffered during the coverage of the campaign contrary to what they expected and it is not news (pardon the pun) that they are losing viewers to the new Cable Media outlets like FoxNews. How do we get them? Ratings of course. If you are a Nielsen family, switch your TV to any other station but broadcast news when they come on. DirecTV and DISH Networks are much easier because your box keeps track of what you watch and provides ratings. Just program your set to jump to another channel (FoxNews if you really want to rub it) at the time of Broadcast news or turn the thing off. If you go to bed or out and do not turn off the box, make sure it is not tuned to a channel that carries ABC, CBS or NBC. Again leave it tuned to FoxNews, Home and Garden TV your favorite outdoor channel.

Our pal Schummer is already having orgasmic fits thinking he will be able to re instate the Fairness Doctrine and he does indeed have a good chance to do so. If he has his druthers, the Fairness Doctrine will be applied to all media possible not in control of the liberals and that includes the Internet. Here I am thinking we simply inundate all media outlets before the Fairness Doctrine gets approved, that we will demand every day equal time or that we will demand that the proper authorities take action on such blatant violation of the law. Perhaps the Big Media honchos will put enough pressure on Schummer and Co. as to drop the idea altogether. And it goes without saying that we lean heavy on our Senators and Congrespeople until they develop the backbone to stand up against it.

These are just some thing from the top of my head. Add what you think is necessary, but for the Love of God, STOP WHINING!

Just Vote. And Of Course it has to be McCain.

Box, Ballots & Bullets are the three legs in which our republic stands. I have this blog going so I am covering the soap box part somewhat although I admit I gave up writing my opinions to the Miami Herald ever since they “edited” one of my letters and made it sound like I was in favor on the piece I was criticizing. Then again the Herald Editorial staff would kiss Fidel’s ass at high noon over Freeedom Tower if it wasn’t for the fact that the they live amongst Cubans that had to leave Michael Moore’s paradise to escape oppression and hunger and that such people would turn One Herald Plaza into a serious bonfire.

The Bullet Part is also covered although not as much as I wanted but according to my dear wife it will have to suffice until I either become CEO of Freddie Mac (but I will refuse becoming a member of the Obama Jamboree) and get one of those Golden Parachutes or we hit the Florida Lotto. But besides the ownership of Guns, I am keenly aware of what they represent as freedom and its defense. As I read many years ago, the Second Amendment is the reset button of the Constitution if the time ever arises to do so.

Ever since I became a Citizen, I haven’t missed an opportunity to vote.  It was a promise I made to myself when I was still a Resident and I had the chance to meet Fred Thompson during a gun Show at the Tennessee Fairgrounds when he was running for the Senate the first time around. I was impressed by him, how he spoke and more importantly what he said and I felt impotent that I could not cast a vote. Thank God Fred did not need my help and got his seat but the feeling of having to vote because is important to exercise my right and elect the best person for the job remains in me.

So, I am waiting for the missus to finish getting ready and we shall be heading for the polling place in a little bit to take advantage of the early voting system. Obama is a clear and present danger to our freedoms and reminds me of Hugo Chavez way too much. The level of seething fanatism that this guy inspires in his subjects scares the heck out of me because it reminds me of the Chavistas I saw a decade or so ago in Venezuela preparing the path of his ascension to power. The Chavistas, cajoled, bribed, threatened, lied, distorted and did everything in their power to get him elected and then to keep him in power. Same as with Obama, press was enamored with the bastard who promised “Change” and “Hope” (no shit, those were his words too) and ignored his absolute lack of preparation to be president. A friend of mine said that Chavez only had military training and he took twice the test (directing personally the first coup attempt and supporting the second) and both times he failed the test so if he sucked as military leader, he was bound to be a total crap as civilian president. History has proven such words mighty right.

Not that McCain is perfect or good or even regular compared with Obama, but I have a feeling that he would think twice before screwing too much with the Constitution while Obama would not lose sleep if somebody would place our magna carta as sandbox linning.

So, go out and VOTE FOR McCAIN.
