Shirley Shirley Shirley

Shirley Sherrod will no doubt go down in recent history as one of the dumbest people on the earth. To say the least, she had a golden egg and threw it away because she couldn't keep her mouth SHUT.

Shirley was thrust into the limelite when a video surfaced of her apparently admitting to racist activity many years ago. The Whitehouse and the Dept. of Agriculture panicked. They wanted her to resign immediately. The hell with letting her answer the charges or offer an explanation, "QUIT NOW" Shirley was what she was told. She complied. (Mistake number one)

Mistake number two was when she wasted no time going on National News shows and telling all that the order to quit came from the Whitehouse. Shirley should have kept off the television and made NO statements at all except through an attorney. She had a huge wrongful termination lawsuit on her hands. It could have set her up for life. I guess Shirley would rather speak her mind.

Once the entire transcript of the video speech was made public, Shirley was supported and defended by FOX NEWS and Glenn Beck. But that wasn't to Shirley's liking. She again opened her mouth and BLAMED Fox News for the whole thing. Shirley was now starting to look a little silly. She could have saved herself again by just shutting the hell up. But NO! Motor mouth Shirl had more to say.

By now the President was looking bad, the USDA Secretary was looking bad and all they could do was offer apologies to Shirley. But that was still not enough for old Shirley. Now she wanted an audience with the President so she could educate him on how things were in the rural south.

Still, having been apologized to and offered a new job, Shirley was not done yet. She spent some time on the air with Anderson Cooper. To his credit, he let her speak out. And speak she did. It seems now that Miss Shirley may in fact be a racist after all. With a little prompting from Anderson Cooper she opined that Andrew Briebart, who posted the video in the first place, was a racist and probably wanted all blacks to be slaves again. Andrew has his faults. He is an attention whore. He sometimes doesn't think things through completely. But He is not a racist and has no racist agenda.

Yes Shirley. All you had to do was shut the hell up. Now you look completely ridiculous.

Why Hate Sarah?

I find it interesting and quite puzzling that many people profess a hatred of Sarah Palin. Not so much the neanderthal left but many from the right. These right minded, patriotic, conservatives that for some reason spew vile things when Sarah's name is even mentioned. Sarah Palin represents the morals, ideals and tough stance that most true conservatives have longed for in a Presidential Candidate. So why the hate?

I took the time to read Sarah's book "Going Rogue." In it I found strength, fierce patriotism, love of family and God and common sense far and away above what most of our political leaders possess. She shows a passion for weeding out corruption, restoring openness and insisting on HONOR from our leaders. These aren't things to hate.

I can only guess that some are sidetracked by the mid-western voice. Or perhaps the "By Golly' soccer Mom persona. I ask you; are those the things that are really important? Or is the message what really counts? Read the mission statements from your 9-12 Groups. Compare your Conservative values to her message. Look beyond the attractive face and the hype from the Presidential campaign and examine the REAL Sarah Palin.

It is important that we as conservatives don't allow the non-issues to sidetrack us. There is a long and hard road ahead to restore the true American Dream as it was written by our founders.

On this Fourth Day of July, let's re-commit to the values and the message. Leave the pettiness behind.

Is Scott Brown For Real?

Scott Brown stunned the nation with his win over a Democrat in the Massachusetts Senate race. But who is Scott Brown REALLY? Is he a RINO (Republican In Name Only) or is he a true conservative? Does he believe in the fundamentals values of the Tea Party Supporters or is he riding in on a wave of anti-Obama sentiment? We won't really know who Scott Brown is until he is put to the test on a crucial vote.

If he caves to party pressure or accepts a Nelson-esque bribe, then he is no different than any other run of the mill politician in DC. However, if he stands his ground and votes with common sense and a moral conscience then he may in fact be for real.

This country needs representation that is for the people not for the system. We need representation that refuses to accept pork style payoffs in exchange for a vote and knows when enough is enough and is willing to stand up and say so in a LOUD voice.

Time will tell if Scott Brown is for real. In the mean time, we must keep looking for those Independent, truth seeking, moral, constitutionalists that can lead us out of the Progressive Hell that we are headed towards.

Question with boldness!

Bloodbath in November?

I don't see the victory by Scott Brown (R) for Massachusetts Senate as the turning point in the fight against the progressive Liberals. I see it as a warning shot. Conservative Independents have been called names, slandered, belittled and in some cases flat out ignored for months and even years. The Progressives see us as dumb, racist and incapable of free thought and the ability to mobilize effectively.

With the election of Brown some ears perked up on Progressives. They did not expect him to win against the powerful Democratic party in Massachusetts. They did not believe that voters would turn out in numbers with a common goal. They did not believe that some of their own would turn against them. They did not think Conservatives could load the gun, much less pull the trigger. Now they know. The warning shot was fired.

How do they respond? That is the big question now. Do they drop back, assess the battlefield and adjust their strategies? Or do they double up their efforts, forging ahead full throttle?

We already know they lie, cheat, hide behind closed doors and attack in the middle of the night. We know their playbook. They have followed it every step of the way. The next move will be to forge ahead as if nothing has changed. But is HAS changed.

With the election of Brown, Conservative Independents, Tea Partiers, 9-12 Members and just plain common sense people know that if we stand strong, hold to our beliefs and act responsibly, we can make a big difference.

Brown was a warning shot. If things continue on their course with this administration, November will be a bloodbath.
