Life is Littered with Liberalism

45 Comments

FIRST POST!

Yeah baby.

Great post. Litter and Liberalism. Two words that go together well.

A few things

a) If my family attends, we'll probably drive to the park n ride near Univ of Maryland and take the metro train to Navy Memorial. I'll probably be in cell phone contact with Gunny and maybe Nee (met her at the Gathering of Eagles III there a couple of years ago).

b) The first game that I went to at Texas Stadium was Roger's Cowboys against Namath's Jets (first night game in that stadium). Final score: Roger 52, Joe 10.

c) Staubach was never the extremely high-paid player during his career, but he took what he earned, including a few endorsements, and used his education to develop one of the most powerful commercial real estate businesses in the country. The Texas GOP has been BEGGING him for the past 20+ years to run for Governor.

The Crawfish

I have kept up on Roger also. He has a pair that clanks when he walks.

Hahahaha, George!


Funny essay, man.

FYI, "Conagher" was made into a pretty good TV movie starring Sam Elliot, and it's on DVD available for rental.

Some good news relating to Bat Ears:

"A Washington Post-ABC News survey found that fewer than half of Americans — 49 percent — say they believe the president will make the right decisions for the country. That's down from 60 percent at the 100-day mark in his presidency.

"The poll shows Obama's overall approval is 57 percent, 12 points lower than it was at its peak in April. Fifty-three percent disapprove of the way he's handling the budget deficit and his approval on health care continues to deteriorate".


The entire article is here:

I have that DVD, on of my faves. But the book captures the essence of Conagher in a way that the movie NEVER could. I expect POTUS or FLOTUS to lose their cool in public any day now.

GREAT STUFF!! I stopped dating liberal "ladies" in 1991. My wife,she is a bit moonbatty sometimes,STILL love her dearly,but definitely NOT a lib. UNFORTUNATELY,daughter #2 is a huge lib. SHE,however,IS going through Obama voter's remorse.All I say to her when she starts whining about the azshat,is YOU VOTED FOR HIM,SUCKER!!Deal with it. Next time,think. I have to be in her "wedding" on Sept.12,so I can't make it to D.C.,but WILL be there in spirit. VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!

Wow !!! What a post!

Now I fully understand why you're so good about forwarding me links opposing abortion.

I'm going to DC for the 912 march. I'll be with a chartered busload of Conservative Friends. I'd love to meet members of our group there, but not sure how I'm going to be with both groups at the same time. Open to suggestions.

Good, real life post, Jeff. (:-

Clyde

My HS Senior of a niece was likewise until he started spending. She looked at me wide-eyed and the look said, "You were RIGHT about him! HOW DID YOU KNOW?!?!?!"

Bobbie

I'll hit you on Email so we can schedule our meet-up "off the grid".

Georgetwin, Your Life History....

I greatly enjoyed reading. Growing up in the 1950's, I was lucky enough never to have had the PC cartoons for entertainment. Instead, I had Looney Toons, Disney's Crockett (Fess Parker), Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and the Lone Ranger.

"Conagher" is a great Lamour read! So are "The Ferguson Rifle" and "The Haunted Mesa". (BTW, I have a shooting replica of a Ferguson rifle.)

My daughter is having our 4th grandchild during the time of the DC "Get Together". There have been some complications during her pregenancy, so Mrs. Gray Ghost and I will be with her during that entire week (9/10 thru 9/17).

PS: Luckily growing up in Mississippi, I really never ran across Liberal women during my dating period. Most of the women I dated could shoot better than me. Some even knew how to clean a deer. (You know: raise the tail and wipe with toilet paper.)

Litter and Liberalism

Should be treated the same.

My Uncle had to forgo his dairy farm in central Nebraska due to the same thing. A whiny liberal who believes they can buy more than they can afford. That dairy farm was built by my great grandpa and has been family owned to this day. My grandparents and uncle and aunt still work on that farm, but had to sell the diary cows.

It didn't take long for liberalism to show how ugly it is in American politics. We have a combination Neville Chamberlain/Jimmy Carter 2.0 in the white house who turns a blind eye to the mid-east and would rather go after opposition that shows the truth about what he really is. His polls are slipping. Obama's just showing everybody how Wrong liberalism is.

We're also seeing how unhinged the libs are. Those libs that post and attack here on townhall are going absolutely nuts, and their defense of Obama is even crazier. I guess the independents and uninformed who voted for Obama are seeing that speaking eloquently with a teleprompter doesn't solve anything.

Good post.

Eric

Urban, Guilt Ridden, White Liberals have the POTENTIAL to do as much damage to America as the Black Plague did to Europe.

Great post GT!

Anyone who is planning to attend the DC march is invited to come to the townhall chatter chat room to coordinate with the rest of the TH patriots planning to march on DC.

You can find the chat-room by going to http://www.fundmental.com/thchat.php

Then look for the "Register/update password" link to set up your chat ID.

I'd Love to see a large contingent from TH on 9-12

Consider the word passed on!

What Happened?

" WHY the sudden change in an art form that is ENTIRELY subjective?"

There had been Senatorial hearings in the 60's and a big stink in the media about how violent cartoons like Bugs Bunny and Popeye were turning us kiddies into a bunch of violence-prone maniacs. And look at the results, you can see these dangerous mobs of boomers going to town hall meetings and daring to disagree with public officials who have only our best interests at heart!

I have a special relationship with Scooby. I started working on that show in the early seventies. I used to hate it. We were paid by the amount of footage we completed and half the scenes had ten characters in them. If you want to learn how to draw accurately and FAST that's the way to do it. Since then the union cracked down on piecework, which unfairly allows those selfish people who work harder to make more money than the poor souls who, through no fault of their own, dont feel like putting out too much effort. So most of the drawing of cartoons was sent overseas.
Since then I've worked on that show from time to time as they've reordered new episodes. I cant keep the model sheets around the house because so many people love Scooby that I end up giving them away and grabbing a new set at the studio. They've started working on a new batch just recently, I'm trying to worm my way onto the crew.

Skep41

My stepdaughter LOVES Spongebob and the same sort of cartoonish violence in omnipresent in EVERY episode.

Absolutely

the litter of liberalism belongs in the box the cat uses

Greeting

from Vassar and Bernie Chumm.
Thanks for the link.
I'll be in DC on 9/12.
Good show

MrBushMills

Read JP Savage's post and go to his chatroom. We NEED to be a UNIT when we hit DC.

Where to begin ...

What a great read, Georgetwin! Your life (and every life) is precious and that is something that the LitteringLiberals just don't get. How sad is that?

Now we have these pinecones in DOJ going after those who did what they had to do to obtain intelligence because our intelligence agencies were gutted by you know who.

I will be watching to see what plans are being made for the 12th. Should be a VERY interesting day!

Gar

The Left, like cat litter, keeps getting thrown out. But they put a new face on and come back as SMELLY as ever.

Mrs AL

Got to JP Savage's chatroom and GIT'R DONE!

Glad They Didn't

abort you georgetwin, life has been so cheapened by the left that heroism so oft associated with conceiving and giving birth to a new life is rarely seen. I've read many a story, where in long past times the mother would sacrifice her own life (obviously well prior to Roe v Wade), knowing full well she would die or stood a better chance of dying than surviving child birth. I wouldn't want to see any mother die in the birth process, however it is noteworthy that few mothers and by extension fathers, would ever knowingly consider making that sacrifice today.

Extremist liberalism as we have today, is the politics of cowards and the morally corrupt.

Liberal Trash

Excellent post, Georgetwin! Thanks for sharing some of your background and history. You are blessed to have been raised by a good family!

We have been watching Glenn Beck`s show all this week and the direction prezbo and crew want to take the nation is beyond frightening! The 9/12 gathering in DC will be awesome! My sister and I will be in Georgia at that time. My niece is in the AF on a tour of duty in Iraq and will be back home then. Stay aware and stay safe, GT!

You are right that

the GOP screws up when they are in power. Obama may not have won if Bush did not run up the debt and do stupid things like pass "no child left behind" or nominate Harriet Myers for SCOTUS. I bet Bill Clinton would not have won two terms if Ross Perot was not in the picture.

I'll NOT, Georgetwin log onto the other

proposed site to set up meet-up in D.C., that because I don't need any more sites. I, along with another 100+ will be coming in from the Knoxville, Tennessee area the late-morning of 9-12.

Thanks for sharing with us your "story". It is enlightening and encouraging.

Georgetwin

Great post!

My grandfather had a dairy farm outside of Green Bay, WI, and I spent many a weekend and summer hauling milk in 5 gal. buckets to the dreaded bulk tank...dreaded because the opening was too high up for a kid with a 5 gal. bucket full of milk LOL. My uncle still lives on the property, but the cows are long gone.

I loved those days...I learned to drive a tractor and bailed hay, ate vegetables raw from the garden, and watched those same cartoons. Never really thought about the transition to the Scooby Doo types, or about them being anti-corporate, but you have a great point.

AfterShock

VERY apt description of "The New Left". When I hear Pat Cadell on Hannity, I am SHOCKED that he was a pioneer of this movement. He RARELY has anything good to say about Liberals.

DawnDawn

Thank You for your Well Wishes. I have been among the Philistines before. If need be, I will smite them hip and thigh. Do you know where I can fine the jawbone of an a$$ ;)?

PatrickBohan

ANYONE can OCCASIONALLY shoot themselves in the foot. But the GOP INSISTS on blowing a leg off!?!?!?

DrPete

I was a free offer, freely given and NO OFFENSE will be taken. Just a safety precaution for those who were coming solo.

SgtStryker

Farm life is HEAVEN for a kid AND a GREAT learning experience. In this down market, I am MERE inches from buying a farm of my own :)!

gtwin

I sent $10 buck to Danny Tark. in NV to defeat Reid. That is the way that Dems understand that people are really against them. Ann Coulter today writes why Wall St. loves Dems. The fact that any business person would vote Dem is just inane and insane. Drop by my two latest. Thanks,rackoons

FinalRac

Entrepreneurs are born, Liberals are MADE!

Meet in Washtown

Georgetwin!

Good idea to meet and exchange views and such for Sep 12. Unfortunately, I rented a place in OC MD for that time slot and cannot make it. Maybe the next one as there will be several. Three buses from my local group are going.

On the "Ls" you might add Lunatic, Loser, and some others to liberal.

good luck, rycK

Georgetwin

Loved your stories. I felt especially sad for your dad having to lose his dairy farm. We live on one of three farms that my friends own and they are dairy farmers. Of course their milking house is inspected constantly and the milk is inspected every day.

I also loved the story of you Mom and Dad's courage to have you children with all the problems your Mom had and your Dad yelling at that stupid doc.

Great post and a lot of good stuff to remind us all of what has gradually seeped into our lives.

Ryck

Another Time! Thank You for your Well Wishes!

Pepper

He sold out and used the proceeds to buy a house and have it moved onto some pasture last that Grandpa owned as used to fatten up his stock before the fall livestock auction.

Georgetwin

Great post! You are a great storyteller.I too,grew up on a farm. Four brothers and one sister. Mom passed away when I was ten. She was only 42. Strokes.

All my siblings are moderate to left and they wonder what happened to me!! My youngest brother called me a radical many years ago. He should hear me now! I don't talk politics with any of them,though. We would be like the Hatfields & McCoys if I did.

Thanks for including me in your posts on Townhall. Sometimes I wonder if anyone reads mine,then I get a reply. Wonderful!!!

I have to agree with Savage

Liberalism is a mental desease.

Joe

I think it is more of an attitude than a disease. Either way, it NEEDS to be tossed in the landfill of history NOW!

just for the records

Think about this, the honest hard working American who work daily to follow the laws of the land, trying hard day after day to raise honest U.S. American children. Respect. books, family, friends, games and Salute the U.S.A. flag, all the, what used to be proper things in life are going to hell in this country so all the punk left wing liberial politically correct degenerates can go ahead and destroy this country that WE have fought to keep free. I am sick of watching the Honest Hard Working Americans get screwed by a bunch of communist democrat no good political crooks who are living high on the hog for now, but i tell you this, soon we all have a meeting with Lord Jesus in Heaven and we shall see where the real power lays. Laugh now for you shall mourn and weep. This was once a great country but look what is happining to us. Are there no longer any Americans with backbone? Communist are ripping at our throats. Are only a handfull of us seeing what is happening? I am crippled with parkinsons disease and other crippling diseases, a Vietnam Era Veteran (Honorable) and Proud, but sick to my stomach for what this country is turning into. It makes me sick to my stomach. I sit here in great pain this morning, but, i cry thinking about the parents who sent their sons and daughters off to battle to keep murderous rapist and thugs from infiltrating this great country, U.S.A. Meany of our troops come back crippled or dead,but it seems the bad guys are already here and each time a Proud U.S. Military person goes down on the field of battle, another communist from hell takes their place while the spineless politicians and rich get richer. Sure wish all you left wing freaks would go make well for yourselves in a third world country and enjoy your leberial ways.
