Goshawk's Random Rants

81 Comments

Gray Ghost's Random Rants

I get tired of hearing the Liberals say: "It's for the children". Meanwhile they try to push "abortion" down my throat.

I get tired of Liberals saying we must help the poor and needy. Meanwhile they put their money "off shore" or in trust funds.

I get tired of Liberals saying "guns kill people". Guns are inanimate objects. Without human help, they can do nothing. People kill people.

I get tired of Liberal Politicians saying the War Against Terror is wrong. (90% of them voted for it.)

In fact, I am tired of Liberals.

GrayGhost

Oh, your #1 is one I really get sick of hearing too. They could care less about children. If they did they wouldn't be pushing abortion, and particularly partial birth abortion where they drill holes into the baby's head and kill it. Such hypocrites.

In fact I like all your rants too. I'm sick to death of liberals too. It's like having the Black Plague and it keeps spreading out of control.

Goshawk

Wonderfully clear and concise thinking from a Y. Well done, Sir.

I quite agree with St. Gracie and Gray Ghost as well.

The ticker at the bottom

gets pre-empted by a commercial at the very moment the one piece of info you want is about to be displayed, and it won't come by again for the next 12 minutes.

Not much I can expand on.

I particularly like the one on apologies. This standard, though, only applies to dems. Trent Lott needed more, as did Larry Craig. But Kennedy, he can just look sorry and they'll forgive him.

Grr

Or "the American People want to hear...."

Exactly, sickening.

Gray Ghost

All legitimate rants. Good show!

Purplegimp

Thanks! But it's sad that that's all I can do is rant!

Virginia Daddy

Man that's the truth! Anything a Dim-Lib does is overlooked. But with a Repub, they demand blood!

xpressit

Another one.."The American people want to know." How your going to pay for those tax cuts! Of course the politicians never consider that they need to stop their Pork, their many trips around the world their $500 suits their $200 haircuts etc.

Gos

Good Rant! Regardless of the issue the liberal, and more often than not the republican, answer is more government.

I agree about the character issues. I personally want to know what kind of person is going to sit next to the WW III button for the next four years.

My biggest peeve with TV is the weather break-in. Yesterday it was actually important when 6 tornadoes where in the process of tearing up housekeeping 15 miles to the west. Most nights it's to tell me it's raining outside, just as if I couldn't tell on my own. A little perspective would be nice for a change.

Goshawk

Great rant, I agree with all you said and did you ever notice how all the politicians know what we want, but none of them ever manages to give it to us. Unless of course your talking about there screwing us. There good at that.

"But it's sad that that's all I can do is rant!"

At least its something, and if enough of us rant maybe just maybe someone will here.

I see from the picture that training is still on track. Keep up the good work.

Sgt Relic

I guess they're (the politician's) more concerned about job security than anything else. Therefore, more government. The whole thing has become a joke!

Your right! No one seems to think about 'who's going to be in control of the WW III button. It appears that deep thinkers are becoming a rarity.

Yeah, we have the same problem with weather reports here in Flemingsburg KY. It's like we are not part of the States. But you know, Pepp and I don't mind that at all.

Dogged

Yep! Empty words come easily to those who are more concerned for themselves than the countries welfare.

I wonder just how many naive people fall for and believe that what they say MUST be what the majority thinks?

You bet! The Redneck training is going strong!

Goshawk

Well done!
"character, integrity, honesty, and patriotism"
good luck on those this year!!

"it's sad that all I can do is rant"
My cry for months (actually years since the Republicans fouled up their chance in Congress")
and it is so frustrating to know there are so many of us who feel the same way and the news doesn't get through to the idiots in Congress.

"deep thinkers are becoming a rarity"
When were they ever anything else? The majority of people I know have no idea what is going on and I suspect that the majority in the country are the same way.

emjayne

Thanks! And I agree except that I think the news does get through to the idiots in congress. They simply ignore our country and the people's demands.

I think it's very close to another "Boston Tea Party." Only this time it will be a Redneck Tax Party! Which will make the Tea party look like child's play.

on #s 1 and 5

1. good point. They glom on to some achiever but run when their buddies get pinched. See Clinton, Bill

5. I LIKE when govt doesn't work:)

on apologies

Ever notice Dem/libs in particular apologise for other people but never when they themselves did something wrong?

ScarletPimpernel

Your right. Even if a Dem does something wrong. No matter how terrible. He or she will say "I made a mistake and I apologize if I made someone misunderstand." Then of course all their Liberal supporters say he/she must be forgiven because he/she apologized.

Goshawk

I know they hear us but I agree that we are being ignored. We just got clear confirmation of that with the recent statements by Sen. Kay "I defunded the fence" Hutchinson. She is now talking about energy and could could very well be reading one of the letters I have been sending to congress for the last several years.

There is not one IDEA she expressed that has not been seen right here on the pages of TH or expressed to them in letters and emails. Now gas is $3.50 average and suddenly we make sense. WTH!

Sgt Relic

You bet they hear us and read us on blogs like TH. I saw a special news report awhile back that showed how most of the politicians have aids that constantly scan what people are saying on sites like this.

And like you I used to send countless letters to congress and my reps. I gave it up after receiving nothing but form-letter replies.

The S.O.B's hear us but could care less. I'm sure that they get irritated that we upset their plush little world with our constant nagging demands that they do their jobs. How dare we peons interfere with their royalty.

Gos


Great rants!

And I agree with your last comment. The lunatics running the asylum know DAMN WELL what the people want and they don't care. They're not about to let us "little people" rain on their parade.

Reality is a dirty word in their world.

1maschrom

"Lunatics" is a good description. But I think the people, in their apathy, are insane for letting them get away with it over and over. As if there is anything going to change! Nothing will change in Washington until "We The People" step in and stop it!

Gos

There you go being bitter and frustrated. Don't you know we are supposed to take our bribe check, buy a new gun or bible and be satisfied with bread and circuses. Don't you be gettin' uppity now. LOL!

Goshawk

Can't find much wrong with your rants,sir. Especially #4. One more of these azshats spewing out of the pie orifice ANYTHING about what the "American People" want,when they don't give a leaping ratzaz about it anyway, there may be a new meaning of "Going Postal".

Sgt Relic

LOL! Sorry about that. I lost my place for awhile there.

Clyde

Yes I agree. And you may have something there regarding "Going Postal."

Dogged

I see you noticed the attack dog in the pic. Yes, we're still training. Wait until you meet Harvey the Hound dog Redneck. You'll love him.

clydeq

Speaking of going postal, you should hear me and Goshawk scream at the TV when these jerks tell US what WE want. You'd have to wear earplugs.

Mrs O resembles that remark

Goshawk: Here is an illustration to lament on while focusing your rant. (from a TH article)


Mrs. Obama said, “We’re confident that the American people are ready to move to a different place.

We just have to be confident and give them the benefit of the doubt, that they get all the information and we sort of come out of the muck [and] that they’ll be ready to embrace the truth.”


Now she's not even a politician...yet, anyway.
I had to separate that into two sound bites. In both parts it’s unabashedly what boiled to the surface of her cranium. When it gets really dicey is when multiple politicians argue which of them knows better what Americans want. (and so confident...)

xpressit

"Move to a different place." Yeah right. They only move I would like to see is them and anybody like them, move to Africa!

Just the thought of that anti-America, anti-whitey becoming First Lady. Make me feel like vomiting!

For All...

Just received the following;

On Sat, 22 Mar 2008 18:48:04 -0400, "LTG Bill Ginn" USAF ret forwarded:

Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.

"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides," Obama said. "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it."

WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president.

Gos


That response form BO about the anthem and saluting the flag has got to be the craziest thing I have EVER heard a presidential candidate say! He is one SERIOUSLY anti-American racist S.O.B.!!!!!!!

Let's see if Hillary has the chutzpah to call attention to this.

Gosh, Goshhawk.

Just copied your email from LTG Bill Ginn.

I remember the picture and never heard any flak over it.

Con permisso I will forward your email to a rather lengthy list of friends and associates.

1maschrom

Yeah, I would love to see Hillary stay on him about this.

Buck

By all means! Send it to as many folks as you can. The people need to know the hidden truth about this guy. The real truth!

Bloody!

That picture looks like the one dog has blood all over his/her mouth! My hope is that maybe the dog devoured a libtard.

I like your points here. And yeah, why can't they show those little ticker-tape news bits during the dang commercials?

And Goshawk, did Oblama REALLY say that whole quote about why he won't wear a flag pin, even the part about 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing'?! If so, he's a total stoner hippie!

LMAO

"I don't want to be percieved as taking sides."
That is too rich...how Obamaesque. This guy just keeps going, Hollywieirds darling.

Goshawk

Even if the excuse was speculative, it should wake people up to the realization: Ann Richards, fmr Gov Texas said it apropos, ““I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.”

xpressit

I believe a lot of people are waking up to who and what this guy really is. He shouldn't even be a senator. Let alone run for the presidency!

Gos


Just letting you know that I pasted the email sent to you about Obama on strt 8's blog. It was too good not to pass along. I put out the disclaimer that I saw it here first so you'd get the proper credit. : )

If Peps feeling up to sitting at the computer, let her know that I sent her an email.

1maschrom

It's good that you "get the word out" But I don't worry about getting credit for such things. In fact don't even care about it. Only that people get informed about this guy.

Pepp is feeling pretty bad lately but I'll pass along your message.

God Bless You

Goshawk,
I lived on the far north side of Chicago, I call it North Cuba, and I can't tell you how disheartening and lonely it can be. I'm glad conservative thinkers have a place to go to recharge their batteries. I moved to Indiana and now live in a free country.
Thanks for your interest in OUR country.

I like the ticker tape

It has all the cooky news on it. Good to see you back Pep, how are you?
It's shameless plug time at K to the R, new cartoon.

KenUSA

Thank you! And thanks for stopping by and commenting. Stop by often and join the conversations. They get pretty lively at times.

We live in Flemingsburg Kentucky and love it here.

Peppermint2 & Goshawk

Pep, can't wait to meet Harvey the Hound dog Redneck.
I hope you're feeling better, didn't know you were sick. Maybe you should take some time off from the training until you're feeling better.

Gos, I copied that email from LTG Bill Ginn and sent it on to my friends. I also told them to do the same. This clown can't get elected. I wouldn't let him be a dog catcher.

Dogged

Good show! I did the same. Lets just pray this guy don't get in by some fluke!

Thanks for your concern about Pepp. Things have been pretty hard on her.

Goshawk

I just heard on the radio Obomba criticize Billary about her statements that if Iran nuked one of our allies we would wipe them off the earth. He thinks she is wrong to have said that.
I guess he'd make a phone call and tell them they shouldn't have done that. Just like jimmy carter.


Gos, take good care of Pepp she seams like a very special lady. And I hope she's feeling better real soon.

Pep and Gos

I found the perfect song for Hillary's campaign! I've posted it on my blog if you wanna see.

Dogged

I can just imagine what he would do if one of our allies were nuked. Or even one of our own cities for that matter. The way I see it, if it were a white community he would send a letter of congratulations. If a black, a letter of protest!

You can bet I'm taking very special care of Pepp. She is very very special in so many ways. Thanks for your concern and compliment.

Keys to the Right

Unfortunately, we cannot bring in that site. We are stuck with Dial-Up in our area of KY. And the videos take far to long to load.
So we just by-pass them.

Gos

Taking sides??? I thought that he was running for President of the United States. I didn't go to Harvard but I'm pretty sure that could be construed as taking a side.

He wants to change the National Anthem to a Coke jingle? In that case I vote for "Are you ready for some football" by Hank Williams Jr. or at a minimum, the theme from "Mighty Mouse".

In a world where Jimma the Peanut was POTUS, this guy may be too stupid to be president even by that low standard.

WTF!!!

Sgt Relic

Right on all points! But I really wonder if voters have become so stupid as to actually put this nut in office.

The Mighty Mouse theme sounds good to me! :-)

Gos

Have you met any liberals lately? Of course they are stupid enough to elect this idiot. Fidel could probably get the dem nomination these days although there is a chance some might find him to conservative. LOL!

New blog

Goshawk,
I posted a blog.
http://kenusa.blogtownhall.com/
I am not sore how to send a link
Ken

Goshawk

In response to your comment to Sgt Relic.

"Right on all points! But I really wonder if voters have become so stupid as to actually put this nut in office."

On Friday I heard that New Jersey now backs Obomba even that they voted for Billary when that state voted and she won.

With all that has been coming out about him.
I think they are very stupid.

Sgt Relic and Dogged

Since moving to Flemingsburg KY, haven't run across any Liberals here. If there is some they must be hiding from the rest of us Rednecks! LOL!

Dick Morris just announced that he thinks the Obamamess will get the dem nomination. So looks like you guys are right.

Gos, Pepp

There's a new cartoon up on my blog if you want to see.

Peppermint2 and Goshawk

Please read the entire thread of the article "The Left is Wrong", by John Stossel (05/07/08).

Tell me what you think about Hal Doofus's comments and my rebuttals.

Gray Ghost

Read all your rebuttals the that idiot Doofus. All were right on! I see that you were (or are) on a roll. Good job! Excellent comebacks!

Unfortunately, Pepp is not here to read this because she is in the hospital. A blood clot developed in her right arm after having an RMI. So she'll be there a few days.

Goshawk...

Forget Hal Doofus, he is not important.

Is Peppermint2 alright?

You tell her that she will be in my families prayers. (BTW, you take care of yourself too.)

Gos


So sorry to hear about the complications that you both are having to deal with. I hope she's able to come home soon. When you visit, tell her I'm thinking about her and praying for her recovery. : )

Forgot to mention


when she gets home she can read the email I sent her the other day.

And since she loves the silly stuff I write to keep her mind off of things---THANK GOD Jason got booted off AI (did she watch in the hospital?). That boy's voice made me cringe. LOL!

Goshawk

Please let Peppermint2 know she is in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Gray Ghost, Imasch, Dogged

Thanks for your best wishes for Pepp. I will print your comments
and take them to her. I know she appreciates your concern.

And so do I.

Chi Comms

One thing I can say about the Chinese, when they decide to address a problem, they don't mess around with it. Can't say the same about us.

Pepp, Gosh

I am very sorry to hear about Pepp's troubles.... well, both of your troubles, I guess.

My prayers and best wishes.

BrianR and all...

Pepp is home now. After spending 8 days in the hospital. They've dissolved and gotten the clots under control. Her arm will be sore for a few weeks I'm told, but she appears to be doing very well.

Thanks again for all your..."Best Wishes."

Haven't been around for a while

Sorry to hear about Peppermints health problems. Glad she is home though and will think of her and you in prayers.

Gos,


I am SO thankful that Pep is home again. Pep, I hope you regain your strength as quickly as possible.

I can't wait to hear great news from you!

To all who wished me well

thanks so much for thinking of me and Gos and your prayers.

As Gos said I just got released from prison today, then we had to go to Lexington to see a specialist and finally I am back home after 8 days of pure hell.

I won't be weighing in too much here or getting around to all your blogs like I would like to so my apologies to all, but I'm not quite up to much as yet.

I've got tons of more doctor visits and testing to be done yet, so I'll be at doctor's and hospitals more than I'll be here on the blogs.

In the meantime I'll see if I can get Gos to do some more rants. He usually is up to plenty of those. LOL!

Thanks again for your good wishes.

Pep

Pepp

Sorry to hear about your clots. I hope you feel better fast. And your arm's not too swollen. Stay away from hospitals. They're deadly.

Peppermint2

Pepp, welcome home, it's good to hear you're home. Try to take it easy and get plenty of rest until you regain your strength. We'll continue to pray that your testing and Dr. visits go well and all turns out ok.

Remember one day at a time!

Dogged

Thanks for the encouragement. One day at a time is something I need to be reminded of constantly. I'm not liking waiting on tests etc.

Thanks again.

Pep

SC

Yeah, I found that out that hospitals are deadly. I hate being in them and I know you should know being a doctor yourself.

Thanks.

Pep

Peppermint2 & Goshawk

I have a series of new short articles at my site. Drop by if you get a chance.

God bless you Pepp

Glad you're okay, hope you're up and chasing Goshawk around the farm soon!

Pepp

Gosh: I keep coming back to see that pic and makes me smile every time. Pepp: I hope you're recovering well. You have my prayers. (I bet the dogs missed you...)
