I Love Donald Trump, Faux Conservative

Posted on 23/04/2011 by Grumpa Joe

I never thought I would say this, “I love Donald Trump.”  He is one of a handful of people who are not afraid of Obama. In his current run for President he is using all the buzz words and phrases that turn conservatives on. He is kidnapping the Tea Party vote. If the poles are any indication, he is succeeding.
I am a Tea Party person, and I love his tactic to expose Obama. He is delivering a message that the rest of us have voiced without any  attention from the media. Trump doesn’t seem to care. He forges forward with the birther controversy, you get into a war to win it, believes China is a thieving trade partner, Iraq takes advantage of our blood without any gift of spoils (oil), the debt is unsustainable, and suddenly he sounds pro-life, what else?  Best of all, he voices the opinion that Obama is ruining our country and taking it away from “We the people,” and he is the one to get it back.

Every tactic Trump uses takes it to Obama. His attacks are all arguments of  the Tea Party. We believe we they are correct, so why would we not love Donald Trump? He has awakened the country by voicing his opinions and by attacking Obama.  His current vocal opinions are all mine too.

Where I veer away from Donald Trump is in his background. He hasn’t got a conservative bone in his body. He supports far left politicians like Rangel, Reid, Schumer, Pelosi, and more. I, as a conservative would not support those candidates for any amount of favor or influence. Donald is a business man. Most likely, his support for them is greasing the wheels of a business transaction, or does he really share their philosophy?  Either way, he is ethically wrong. If he is greasing wheels he is influencing political leaders for favors. If he supports the same political philosophy, he deceives us with Faux Conservatism.

Donald Trump sounds good in the news, but his character is on the same level as that of Obama; say what we want to hear, then take an opposite action.

If Trump is the patriot he claims, and truly wants to save the country as he proclaims, he will not split the vote and guarantee Obama a second term. Or is a second term what he really wants to effect?

Obama Succeeds at Quieting Fox News

Posted on 22/04/2011 by Grumpa Joe

Today marked one of the last broadcasts of the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News. It saddens me to see Beck leave the air. He taught me alot about history. He used logical arguments to expose some of the most criminal conspiracies happening under our very watch. Yet, Fox canned him. Why?

My theory is that Beck hit too close to the real truth with his expose’s. Obama and company had to silence him or face being uncovered as a transformation agent of America into a Marxist state. I used to accuse him of transforming us into a socialist state, but I think he is more extreme than we give him credit for. Obama’s actions and policies smack of Marxism.

Week after week, Beck diligently researched and followed the connections from the czars to the motives. All of them networking under the cover of bureaucratic positions.  All of them changing internal policies that affect us with more regulations. When will America finally wake up? Obama hypnotized us with the infectious smile, congeniality, and a promise to change America. We thought his changes would transform the stalemate in Congress. Behind the smile, he seethes with rage and pushes his agenda even harder in the face of polls showing Americans in opposition. Why? What is so blanking good about his dreams for the country? What is his vision for the country?

Glen Beck repeatedly exposes Obama’s vision, but we were reluctant to believe. The scenarios Beck painted are too scary for most of us to believe. How could we have been so stupid as to choose a president who would do such a thing? No, it is not true, we say to ourselves, and turn the channel. We don’t want to believe that any red-blooded American citizen would be so devious as to plan the complete destruction of the Constitution, the country, and the citizens.

Yes, Fox News caved to pressure from the far Left; they, who we consider to be the voice of the conservative. By firing Glen Beck, Fox signed onto the Obama media train, and are no different from ABC, NBC, CBS,CNN, MSNBC, and PBS. A primary tenet of Marxism is to control the media; control the message.

This special recipe for chocolate chip cookies is for the bakers in the world.  This flavorful cookie guarantees to make you the hit of any small town. The assembly of the recipe will present a challenge to even the most experienced baker, i.e. unless you cook for large groups. I discovered the recipe while touring on a vacation in Charleston, South Carolina. The ingredients are simple, and easily accessible from any grocery store.

These cookies will make your taste buds jump for joy. They will bring you satisfaction for  a long time, and they freeze well too. The chocolate speckled wafers make a wonderful treat for great grandfathers who served in the Navy during WWII. No doubt, the taste will awaken a memory cell tucked deep within the recesses of  a sailor’s brain.

If you decide to bake up a batch using this recipe, send me a few dozen, I love them

The Wabbits Ally With Radical Terrorists

Posted on 20/04/2011 by Grumpa Joe

Today is opening day of a new chapter in the Wabbit War. Last year (2010), Grumpa Joe (GJ) battled the Wabbits, and by late August they disappeared from the garden. However, GJ uncovered large amounts of evidence to suggest the Wabbits will return again soon.  Throughout the winter there has been an abundance of snow, and the level of Wabbit tracks in the snow was telling. In addition, early this spring GJ uncovered evidence that the Wabbits devastated his prize Viburnum shrub by clipping all the lower stems, and leaving the naked center branch looking like a torch. Piles of Wabbit scat encircle the Viburnum.

The tulips, a Wabbit favorite, are just beginning to open. Grumpa Joe sits at the window awaiting the first Wabbit attack hoping to prevent needless tulip decapitations.

Late last summer, a new enemy joined the Wabbit Wars; Cirsium arvense(Canadian thistle). This new enemy employs radical terrorist techniques. He attacks by popping up in the middle of a dense lawn or flower bed. By the time he is sighted he has sent combatant runners  spreading around the yard to establish more sleeper cells. The mower is one of the primary forces GJ used to combat them in the lawn. The whirling blade whacks the Cirsium; wounding, but also infuriating him. The warrior returns stronger than before. During his recovery he dispatches several young roots burrowing underground to establish new cells. Within a week, the cells begin to pop up along a line extending from the wounded warrior.

In the flower beds, the Cirsium arvense terrorists work under cover of foliage to grow and strengthen. By the time GJ spies evidence of their presence, they are fully established and towering over the flowers held hostage to hide their activity. They send copious numbers of sleeper cells running in many directions. They sleep underground until ready to attack then spring up everywhere within ten feet of origin.

Several times, GJ attacked them with the digger tool, and even a spade. Pulling  out runners, and following them to new cells. Often, he pulled up two feet of roots with green shoots that had sprouted along the runner. If a single small piece of the root breaks off during removal, it survives to become a new sleeper cell. The Cirsium reestablishes itself, and within a week new sleeper cells are terrorizing the flower bed.

Grumpa Joe attended a late fall conference of Master Gardener Generals to discuss the Cirsium terrorists. The generals instructed GJ to rid the Cirsium arvense with the dreaded garden nemesis; Roundup. In the early spring, GJ would have to drench the fresh young shoots with this chemical killer of broad leaf vegetation. The chemical works by absorbing into the foliage and traveling into the root system.

This afternoon at 13:00 hours, Grumpa Joe dressed in full chemical battle garb. He loaded his sprayer with the prescribed ratio of concentrate and water. He pumped the tank sixty times to pressurize the nozzle, and forged into battle. By 14:30 hours all visible Cirsium terrorists were drenched in chemical.

By 13:00 hours tomorrow, Grumpa Joe will know if his attack affected the Cirsium army.  He will sorrow over the many innocent garden plants he has killed. What he will not know is this; has he merely sent the Cirsium arvense Terrorists underground to form new sleeper cells?

A New Playbook For Reporters

Posted on 19/04/2011 by Grumpa Joe

Finally, some of the press is beginning to learn that Obama puts his pants on the same way they do. He doesn’t magically, snap his fingers or wiggle his nose and clothing appears on his body. He is mortal.

In a recent interview by a Texas reporter, Obama was visibly upset by the audacity of the reporter’s method. The guy used the O’Reilly technique of asking a question in the middle of Obama’s standard answers. WFAA Reporter Brad Watson from the Dallas-Fort Worth area held his ground and continued to press for answers Obama was not prepared to answer. Later, Obama chastised the man for interrupting him.

During the 2008 campaign, Obama and his minions controlled the message to the press by feeding them snippets of the campaign script. The press loved it because they didn’t have to use any brain power to think of questions to ask. Could it be that a new generation of reporters, has grown up with the internet and have trained themselves to obtain answers by cutting and pasting with a few button pushes? Have reporters forgotten that direct questions provide real answers? Joe the Plumber was the only one who ever asked Obama a direct question during the 2008 campaign that he answered extemporaneously, and we learned a lot from that response.

A few brave reporters have written a new playbook, and I fully expect to see more courageous writers enter the game. By challenging the president and his administration with serious questions, and insisting the questions not be responded to with pre-rehearsed answers we will begin to see the true Obama emerge as a man who wants to rule the world at our expense.
