Veterans For The Constitution Take On A Troll Type Congresscritter.

Posted By GM Roper on September 2, 2010

Once upon a time, in the long, long ago (this year) in a far distant land (Illinois) there lived a troll by the name of Congressman Phil Hare.  One fine day, in response to a question he belched forth the noxious and gaseous statement that “I don’t worry about the Constitution” and when asked about the Declaration of Independence he said “That doesn’t matter either.” Wow, an elected official of Illinois’ 17th Congressional District, who in his oath of office swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic doesn’t care. Geeze folks, can you imagine a bigger troll?

The troll congressman is being challenged by Bobby Schilling, and the troll is so upset that Veterans for the Constitution are supporting Mr. Schilling and other conservative candidates, he filed a complaint with the FTC.

Doubtless the complaint reads in it’s entirety:

Those mean wicked soldiers are picking on me. Please make them stop, I’m afraid of them and all I did was utter a few harmless words. Pretty please make them stop they’re making me hurted!
——————————————————Phil Hare (D- Il), Member of Congress, Illinois 17th District.

Full Disclosure: I sent the Veterans for the Constitution a few bucks and I encourage you to do the same.  Let’s get together some healthy bucks to get this troll out of office.  As a veteran myself, I too took an oath to protect and defend the constitution.  When I was discharged on Christmas Eve, 1970 I don’t remember anyone telling me I was relieved of that duty.

Decrying Witch Hunts By … Hunting Witches!

Posted By GM Roper on August 30, 2010

The gentleman to the left of this paragraph is Paul Krugman, erstwhile columnist for the New York Times, the Gray Lady, the Paper of Record, The Democrats Propaganda Ministry.  Well, maybe I’m slightly exaggerating on the last “title”.  But not much of an exaggeration for sure.
Mr. Krugman’s column today (August 30, 2010) is entitled “It’s Witch-Hunt Season” and he starts by castigating the right:

“The last time a Democrat sat in the White House, he faced a nonstop witch hunt by his political opponents. Prominent figures on the right accused Bill and Hillary Clinton of everything from drug smuggling to murder.”

Krugman is of course, correct, the Clinton’s were in fact taken to task time and time again because of their perceived violations of standards; ethical, legal, etc.  Most of it was deserved, some of it wasn’t.  I never bought the idea that Vince Foster was murdered in the White House for example, but Hillary did make a small fortune trading futures under dubious circumstances; Hillary developed amnesia when it came to remembering what she had done as an attorney; she misplaced in plain sight in the White House subpoenaed records; Bill and Hillary did invest in a scam called “White Water” and of course, the President spent a large part of his last term explaining that he didn’t have sex with that woman and then, when, as Christopher Hitchens so famously noted there was “No One Left To Lie To” he confessed that he did have “an improper relationship” (hell, Mr. Clinton, you were her boss, it was an illegal relationship under the sexual harassment laws you signed into being).  Of course, that was not witch hunting, that was speculation that all turned out to be true.

Clinton all but single-handedly turned the congress over to the Republicans in 1994 and it looks very much like Obama may do exactly the same in 2010.

No doubt, there were excesses in decrying the behavior, real and imagined, of the Clintons, but then Mr. Krugman seems to have developed a spot in his brain where the years 2000-2008 are completely blank in terms of Witch-Huntery.

Mr. Krugman, please, sit down and let me remind you of a few comments made by you in various Bush years:

  • 1. “George Bush’s America has become a byword for deception and abuse of power.” (March 30, 2004)
  • 2. “The Bush administration, by the way, opposed labor standards, not because it wanted to keep imports cheap, but because it was afraid that America would end up being forced to improve its own labor policies.” (May 14, 2007)
  • 3. “It’s hard to believe that the world’s only superpower is on the verge of losing not just one but two wars. But the arithmetic of stability operations suggests that unless we give up our futile efforts in Iraq, we’re on track to do just that.” (October 27, 2006)
  • 4. “I think it’s because most Americans sense, correctly, that he [Bush] doesn’t care about people like them.” (March 6, 2006)
  • 5. “[Meanwhile] Mr. Bush has made it clear that he intends to raid the funds that were supposed to support the baby boomers in their retirement.” (March 7. 2001)

    • The comments of those that agree with you in many, if not the vast, vast majority of your columns during the Bush years would indicate that you enjoyed, or at least sanctioned the witch hunt by the left.

    So, you see Mr. Krugman, that Witch Hunting canard is just that, a witch hunt and you are the one that engaged in it, right up to your neck.

    UPDATE: More witch hunting from the left as documented at American Thinker: Who’re you calling a bigot?

    And Now For A Commercial:

    Posted By GM Roper on August 30, 2010

    This is a product endorsement that I will make not one cent off of, nor will it help my business in any way.

    Having said that, I’ve listened to this entire CD and heartily endorse it.  As a sufferer of chronic back pain where my ribs were cut when I had cancer, I can honestly say that I have cut down on medications for pain by several hundred percent.  Chronic Post Thoracotomy Syndrome is no fun, believe me, but this product, produced by my good friend Dr. Joseph McCoy, can be of huge help when dealing with chronic pain and anxiety.

    The CD (or download if you prefer) is available from Valley Psychological Services Productions (dot) Com.

    If you have anxiety, or chronic pain, I encourage you to purchase this product.  I’m glad I have it and my relief is real.  Give it a try, you have nothing to lose except anxiety and pain.

    I also might mention, that typically with chronic pain, at the first signs that the pain is present, some anxiety jumps right up and can make the perception of the pain so much worse.  Isn’t it time that you had some relief?

    The BRILLIANT Chris Muir!

    Posted By GM Roper on August 26, 2010

    Chris Muir, author and artist of the Day by Day Cartoon has the ability to say in a very few words, what most thinking Americans (opposed to non-thinking lefties) think, but have difficulty expressing.  For example:

    Excellent Chris! Just Excellent
