3 Things: UN Gun Plan

I have just proposed a ballot measure for great people of the State of Colorado.
What we want is for the current administration to get the hell out of Dodge on this new United Nations gun restriction initiative. So what if a ballot referendum isn't going to lock anybody into a vote on this U.N. crap, it will send a powerful message in support of the following three points:

1) We need to stop this headlong slide down the stinky slippery slope of a measure that will without a doubt result in the confiscation of guns from real Americans. (def. Real American, an American who has one or more guns)

2) We need to stop this intrusion into business that is good for America. This U.N. measure will radically restrict (did you catch that word radical?) international gun trade. OK, so it's international, but it still could end up in the confiscations I mentioned in point one. Besides, we got a lot of companies who make a lot of big money (repeat for emphasis - BIG MONEY) selling weapons around the world, most of the time to both sides (in fairness, of course). Maybe none of these companies actually hire Americans anymore, but I'm pretty sure at least some of this money will filter back into our economy somehow, like when congressmen like me pay our bills for internet porn and pay out a couple of bucks an hour to our illegal alien housekeepers and gardeners.

3) We need to get this stuff under control before I make my proposal to change the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution so it requires all Americans to own weapons.

Disclaimer: The three week Mediterranean cruise that my wife, Bethany, and I went on last spring has nothing to to with this. Even if it was paid for by a coalition of the gun and free distribution of nukes lobbies. Hell, there were at least a hundred congressmen on that cruise.

Good thing I can keep a secret.

Now that everybody in the world knows that I'm thinking about a run for governor of Colorado, I'm not surprised that I got a call from the boys over on C Street.

Hush hush and all...

You didn't hear it from me.

What boys? C Street?

Shh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h

Hmm... Maybe Governor, What do You Think?

OK, so we know the president thing didn't exactly work out as well as it could have last year. I did meet some interesting people on my MySpace page, but that's about as far as the campaign went. There were, of course, those rumors that I pulled out of the race at the last minute in response to a promise of bailout money. Which rumors I categorically deny.

So, I'm having lunch at the Petroleum Club (where else?) with some buddies earlier this week about next steps. See... If I can't keep moving forward in political circles it's going to get a bit challenging to pay my bills and keep up appearances... (but I digress).

The thing that caught just about everbody's attention around the table (except for ole Big Willie DuMont from CORE Airways who was too busy stuffing Kobe steak down his gullet) was the idea of me running for governor in the next election.

I could accomplish a lot of things that are on our party's agenda.

Immigration: If Washington won't protect our borders, I'll build a freakin' fence around Colorado. Keep 'em out of YOUR wallets anyway.

RINOs: We've got just about as many REAL Republicans here as anywhere in the country. I'd be happy to give 'em a voice. (And maybe a little helpful legislation to quiet down the damned liberals.)

Anyways, that's the deal. Let me know what you think.

It's the Damned Middle Class

A lot of people, including the new administration, have been tossing around a lot of reasons for the economic mess we're in. Some blame it on our dependence on foreign oil. Some blame it on the balance of trade. Some blame it on globalization and out sourcing.

But I'm here today to tell you damned well what the source of the problem is.

The American Middle Class.

You read it right, the middle class. Years ago, when we had People That Matter controlling all the capital, all the land, all the resources, the rest of the American people knew their place. Sun comes up, you go to work. Sun goes down, you go to sleep. Next day, you do it all over again.

There was no need for the workers to learn how to read, how to write. Things like that were just a distraction from what they're supposed to be doing.

Repeat after me:
Sun comes up, go to work. Sun goes down, go to sleep. Next day, do it all over again.

Don't complain about how much money you're making (or not making). Just do your job the way you're told.

Then, somehow, we're pretty sure the damned labor unions had something to do with it, everything went to hell. The American working class started wanting to take a day or two off EVERY WEEK.

We bent, and gave 'em Sundays, but it wasn't enough. Pretty soon, they had enough time to start thinking about things. Next thing you know, they had enough time to learn how to read. Wasn't too long before they decided that EVERYBODY ought to know how to read.

We began the long road to inevitable decay of our well organized society. All of a sudden, people wanted to be able to have some daylight at the end of their workday and conspired with the Communists to pass daylight savings time, get 40 hour weeks and all that other stuff that just destroyed productivity.

The worst part is when they found out that having all this leisure time gave them a) much too much time to think about what they didn't have and b) thought that maybe they deserved some entertainment time.

We should have been able to predict what would happen next, but obviously we didn't. Actors and writers started demanding as much money as the guys (People That Matter) who ran the studios. Baseball and football players decided that they should make enough money to be able to live after age or an injury killed their careers.

The worst part of all of this is that average Americans began to think of themselves as People That Matter. Hell even artists and musicians began to think that way. Can you imagine a freakin' songwriter thinking "I'm a Person That Matters"?

The final decay began with these people began to think that dishwashing, gardening, pig sty cleaning, and sweeping up poop behind the elephants in a parade were all jobs that they were too good for.

What the hell? Somebody's got to be a nanny. Somebody's got to serve me my meals. Somebody's got to pick up after me when I trash a hotel room.

When Americans wouldn't do this stuff anymore who do you think did? Immigrants, that's who!
'Nuf said.

We MUST get back to the days when People That Matter are the ONLY people that matter, and June Cleaver can't read anything more complex than a cookbook.

Today is a Sad Day in History

First of all, I want to start out by sayin' that true conservatives think that Sarah Palin probably the best damned politician a woman can ever be. If ever a woman actually COULD be the Veep of the US, it would be her.

Then we've got people like Dede Scazzafava, but we know the tradition SHE came from.

Our party started goin' straight to hell ninety-three years ago today when a WOMAN, Jeanette Rankin, on the REPUBLICAN TICKET became the first woman elected to congress. She and the men who put her on the ticket were the first RINOs in history.

What the HELL were they thinking? What? She didn't have socks to darn or a stew to cook?

Later on, she was one of the founding members of the ACLU for craps sake and in 1940 ran on an anti-war platform.

Sheesh!

And they smell pretty good

Yesterday, we talked about sniffin' the winds of change with the off-year elections. From our point of view, they smell pretty damned good. New governors in Virginia and New Jersey (who'da thunk that?). Two out of four isn't bad.

I'm sure there are going to be some strong words for the people in upstate New York district 23. Who the hell do they think they are? Do they think they're smarter than the National Committee? Do they think the NC actually gives a crap about their point of view?

I personally think they're taking this LOCAL stuff too far. We've spent years and millions of dollars to convince middle America that we're smarter than they are, and what? They shove it back in our faces?

Just wait and see what kind of support upstate New York gets when the Russki's start parachuting in.

Sniffin' the winds of change

Today's a big day around the country. After a year of liberal chaos we're about to take the temperature of the new America. Throughout the country URWs have been shoving the pretenders out of contention in local elections.

Hell, I know that we're supposed to be for LOCAL control, but this is different. Addy and the boys taught us in 1933 that LOCAL control only works when the local pols are ridin' the right set of tracks, and we know damned well that MODERATION is NOT the right set of tracks to be ridin'.

We're fighting an uphill battle, boys, and it's gonna continue. When those local RINO leaders step out of line, by God we've got to set them straight. We've got to keep more of our people from joining that upstart PNCP

Some people have questioned the decision to put me at the head of our party's URW faction. They wonder what some flyover country "bumpkin" is gonna do for them. I'll tell you.

The majority of real Americans, the true conservatives come from flyover country. Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and of course my home state, Colorado, are just a few of what the liberal media call the Red states.

They, I'm talking about all the media except for OUR network, thought they could piss us off by calling us Reds. Red state this, and Red state that. Well, I'll tell you, we just shoved it back in their faces.

1. Red starts with 'R' and so does RIGHT.
2. There is a reason people call us the RIGHT, it's because we ARE.
3. 'R' is also the beginning letter of our party's name. OK, we were originally the Tories, but that was a hell of a long time ago. Back when we had a real king, and people respected us for what we had.
4. The final reason being called Red states works for us is that 'R' is also the beginning letter of the word REAL. That's who we are, the party of REAL Americans.

Over the next few weeks we're going to use this blog to do some education. We're going to analyze the constitution and tell you what that stuff really means. We're going to tell you everything you need to know to get back on track.

For today. Let's just hope this wave of change succeeds.
