Bush is probably thought less of by Texans than by most others. In the first
place he is NOT a Texan. He probably wishes he was, but he's just a
pretender.
The Dixie Chicks would probably get a standing ovation for speaking what

So you think Bush won't carry Texas in 2004, Mr Shep? Is that your position,
because I want archive this post for after the election.
TC
In 2000 Bush had no National record to hinder him and he couldn't even get
50% of the votes. In the 2004 election he will have a very dismal National
record hurting his chances of re-election.
Heard on TV news today that some states may not even carry his name on their
2004 ballot. I have doubts about that, but your Bush is not nearly as
popular as you are lead to believe.

Talk to many Americans about the war in Iraq, and you'll hear that the US
military went there to defend our freedom. As absurd as that is (to those
able to look past the day after tomorrow), it seems that the most recent,
and perhaps final, spin claims quite a further proposition: We went to
Iraq to free the Iraqi people.
It is rank jealousy I feel when I hear that the world's most powerful
military was unleashed to free somebody else, especially when I've been
paying through the nose for it. Can't help wondering which military will
free me from the enslavement of the federal government.
"Baloney," says proud citizen #24. "If it's so bad here then leave."
I've heard exactly that from two relatives this month. They would have a
point, except that this is my country, not the federal government's. If
the federal government and its moronic minions want to turn this into the
USSA without even the decency to amend the supreme law of the land, it is
they who should leave, stand down, or, at worst, allow the return of
something which resembles a level of personal invasion consistent with the
Constitution  that hallowed nothingness which every senator,
representative, and president has sworn to uphold, yet, almost without
exception, violates regularly. I know of only one member of the federal
government who honors the oath consistently.
"Who's that?" weary family member #5 asks as we nibble hors d'oeuvres
before Easter dinner, her eyes bobbing left and right plotting a getaway
path from the mad paleo conversation killer.
"Congressman Ron Paul, of Texas."
"Never hoid of 'im."
To the point of consistency, why is it that the classic "America  Love it
or leave it" dictum is not applied to these Iraqi people we "liberated"?
Hey, Iraqi citizen: Didn't like living under a repressive dictatorship?
Then you should have left, you jerk!
"Iraq  Love it or leave it."
Has a ring, I think. Maybe the ruling class can turn it into a bumper
sticker down there in Pueblo, Colorado, once they've finished the latest
print runs of Preventing Holiday Shopping Headaches and, just in time for
the depression, Federal Jobs-How to Find Them and Apply Online. It's an
almost palpable pride I sense beaming from the founders down onto the boys
manning the presses there at the "Federal Citizen Information Center". Is
it coincidence that there are sections on Scams and Postal Jobs on the
same page as Federal Jobs? Thumbing through my pocket Constitution for
congress's authorization "to impose information banality."
Back to Iraq. I'm waiting, hoping to understand what logic underlies this
most recent debacle of the federal government. There's no point in
detailing the disgrace here; that's been done well by others at LRC. What
I most want to understand is the putrefying attitude of sacrifice held by
shameless suckers of the public teat. And it's not limited to feds,
military or otherwise. Talk to almost any city cop, and before long you'll
get that smarmy "doing you a favor" air. Read one of the many screeds of
resentful cops who've taken pen to paper. Soon will emit explicitly that
they are out there pounding the pavement for you, not themselves. Well
that would be marvelous were it true, but it's not. Turns out that I and
many other productive, efficient-living tax victims are the ones pounding
the pavement for society, against our will yet. And all we hear is, "you
need to give something 'back' to the community." Yeah, right.
I've never detected the slightest bit of selflessness from any pouting cop
or soldier. There is often, however, an overwhelming quality of oh too
abundant humility. Quoting Ilana Mercer quoting Golda Meir, "Don't be
humble. You're not that great." Notice to whiny "public servants": If you
don't like the job, find another. Actually, find another regardless.
Old-school Americans don't need you quite as much as you fantasize. We
don't need, contrary to a recent FAQ promulgated by the government
geniuses of terrorist survival via news.yahoo.com, to consider a
functioning radio to be our most important piece of survival gear. Why did
they? So that we can listen to the instructions of "authorities,"
otherwise we wouldn't know what to do after a disaster.
How offensive to old-school Americans is this word "authorities" in its
frequency. It's polite speak for "bureaucrats," which is a euphemism for
leech. And at the root of it all is the implied state of all those who are
not "authorities": Helpless. Dependent. Subjugated.
Is there anything about the preceding three terms which conjures images of
the men and women who founded this country  this grouping of formerly
independent states? America's language and behavior are tilting inevitably
to that of the former Soviet Union. And it won't be long before the
average American's reply to that is something which would have been mostly
unthinkable 40 years ago: "Well, maybe that's not such a bad thing."
Benjamin Constant, writing in 1819:
The danger of ancient liberty was that men, exclusively concerned with
securing their share of social power, might attach too little value to
individual rights and enjoyments.
The danger of modern liberty is that, absorbed in the enjoyment of our
private independence, and in the pursuit of our particular interests, we
should surrender our right to share in political power too easily.
The holders of authority are only too anxious to encourage us to do so.
They are so ready to spare us all sort of troubles, except those of
obeying and paying! They will say to us: what, in the end, is the aim of
your efforts, the motive of your labours, the object of all your hopes? Is
it not happiness? Well, leave this happiness to us and we shall give it to
you. No, Sirs, we must not leave it to them. No matter how touching such a
tender commitment may be, let us ask the authorities to keep within their
limits. Let them confine themselves to being just. We shall assume the
responsibility of being happy for ourselves.
The mythical yet eerily real marketing folk at Central Services (from the
unfortunately predictive movie Brazil) put it best with their wonderfully
helpful slogan: "You do the work, we do the pleasure."
Think about it.
I was just arguing recently about the war in Iraq with a construction
supervisor where I work. To an average, casual observer, this argument
would have appeared to be between a red-blooded, patriotic, rugged,
self-sufficient American man (construction super), and a skinny commie
pinko pacifist (me, database geek) whose only exposure to guns was pushing
daisies into a few rifle barrels in the 60s. But something happened. And
were it a movie scene, eery music would have presaged the critical moment.
In supreme aggravation after heated back and forth argument, the American
man bellowed, "The only reason you have the rights you enjoy is because
government gave them to you!"
Screech! Excuse me? Government gave me rights?
Upon further consideration, that ridiculous and terribly wrong assertion
explains just about everything, doesn't it? I looked that supposed
American man in the eye and told him very clearly that the reason I have
rights is because I was born, and that it's a concept he might want to
look into before opining on the founders, the Constitution, or any of the
other icons regularly hurled up by socialists in patriot garb  hurled up
until they find out they've stumbled upon a live one who really does care
about and understand those seeming conversation stoppers which actually
lie at the heart of the several United States. Still.
The time is well nigh that these modern, history-ignorant, broken,
socialist Americans with the effrontery to celebrate 4 July each year wake
up and understand something elementary: Any language which couches
government as our master, savior, benefactor, or friend is the language of
a slave and a dupe, not worthy of anyone claiming to accept the mantle
from men who stated and supported the following:
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it
is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness . . .
And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the
protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
America  Deserve it or leave it. I ain't going anywhere, comrade.

You have doubts about that? Wow, that's great. No serious news outlet would
report that the almost-certain candidate of one of the two largest political
parties in the USA will be barred from the ballot in any state. The above
statement alone entirely torpedoes your credibility.
Think my credibility has been torpedoed for stating the truth? Check out
Alabama's debate about allowing the Burning Bush to be on their ballot. You
wont like it!
Shepherd
Alabama is currently set to hold their primaries on September 5th.
Alabama has a state law that says the candidates' names have to be
submitted bhy September 2nd. So, if all things stay the same...Bush
COULD end up being a write-in candidate.
The Alabama Republican party is trying to revise the law to push back
the date to allow the winner of the Republican primary to be put on
the ballot. The democrat-controlled congress may drag their feet on
the issue to make it difficult for Bush. Probably not going to happen
since Bush carried Alabama the last time...but you never know.

There is absolutely nothing "Anti-American" about insulting Bush.
People have been insulting the president back with our very first one.
Bush is not restricted from this. Critisism will continue whether you

Yeah, right. The chubbie Dipsy admitted to making "disrespectful" comments
about the President that she even felt compelled to apologize for. Compound
that with the fact she was overseas and we were on the brink of war when she
decided to shoot off her mouth, and you have a GUILTY verdict.
Nice try at a defense though, counselor.

Maines admitted to being "disrespectful' to Bush. What the hell is wrong

She was in England when she stated how she felt about Bush. ENGLAND, not
Iraq, not France, not Germany, ENGLAND, an ally of the U.S. in Bush's quest
to start a war with Saddam.
And we were on the brink of war, not at war, when she made her very

Look, maybe we can straighten this whole thing out by changing the
conversation to country music. That might piss off some of the political

So what do you think of Tim McGraw? You know his father is ex-Mets pitcher
Tug McGraw, right? My favorite country artist of all time is the late great
Waylon Jennings. How about you?

I don't think much of Tim McGraw one way or the other, I don't particularly like
him but I certainly don't hate him. He's had some good songs, I prefer his
earlier stuff and even bought his "Not a Moment Too Soon" CD and still enjoy
it. But I don't ever think he'll be remembered in the same vein as someone like
Waylon.
My favourite country artist of all time? That's a pretty hard question to
answer but if it has to be one, and one only, then I would say Texan
singer/songwriter Guy Clark.
Nola
I knew we would agree on McGraw Nola.....LOL..........and like you, I
don't think he will be remembered as one of the all time
greats....that would be a great conversation starter, who out of all
the current artists will be remembered in the vein of Waylon, Willie,
etc.?
Oh and might I add, that my favorite male country singer would have to
be Tracy Lawrence, and female....hmmmm......I would have to say Patsy
Cline......I can still just listen and listen to her.........

That's an odd choice given all the artists out there.
None of the current country singers can live up to the classics, imo. Except
if you want to consider George Strait in the current group. Here is how I
would rank them:
1. Waylon
2. Mickey Gilley
3. M-M-Mel Tillis
4. Ronnie Milsap
5. George Strait
Then you could lump George Jones, Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson and a bunch of

What truth? What you "heard" and what your reported above do not relate.

Yeah, I heard that prediction a lot - in October of 2002.

Looks like you and David K. are a generation before me or just like the

I was sort of a captive audience. I grew up in the city, but my mom would
always play country music at home and in the car. After a while I took a
liking to it. I also like rock-n-roll and other forms of music. My kid isn't
listening to any country music either. :-)
